How do you feel about the chances @ND?

[td2play]

I would feel a lot better if Bell would have gotten the first two starts. I think ND's running game will be the biggest test we have seen so far. Getting out to a good start will be key in this game. If Michigan can score on that defense we should be able to as well. Put ND in a hole and have them abandon the run early would help OU out.

Wasn't feeling that good about it until I saw them play last night.
It'll be tough, and ND has our number for some reason.

I just hope for the best.

 

[romeo212000]

I like our chances.

What I don't understand is what in the mother fuck caused stoops to go with knight over bell???

 

[KansasSooner]

Knight is supposed to be a better running QB than Bell.

 

[romeo212000]

Knight is supposed to be a better running QB than Bell.

And he probably is but the qb still has to be able to make throws.

 

[KansasSooner]

Knight is just too green. He needs some experience as a backup in mop up duty to get used to speed of the game. (I hope)

Agreed, but with what Bell showed yesterday Tgere should've never been a question IMO.

There is a big difference between practice and a game. Stoops and co thought the game gitters that TK apparently has would go away as he got more snaps in front of the crowd. I think he probably transfers after this season. He has the talent but for some reason he can't deliver when the pressure is on. He may grow out of it and I would love to see him do that as a Sooner but I don't think that will happen. The way todays kids are with instant gratification I am suprised Bell didn't transfer. I think he would have if he hadn't already invested 3 years.

I think knight still gives us two good years once bell is gone. The talent is there, he just wasn't ready. I love Bell's attitude though. I still don't understand wtf the coaches were thinking after seeing that performance.

I think they like the idea of a QB that can take it to the house from anywhere on the field. I know that is what Barry has supported in the past. He wanted Kendall Thompson as the starter.

 

[sooner78wakeboard]

I think we have a chance. Colvin and Lynn will be back for the game. Specifically, against the type of offense Notre Dame runs with their Rees playing. If they had that mobile QB that beat us last year, it would be different.

I think our offense will play good enough to win. Bell, looked pretty good in regards to him scanning the field and using multiple receivers. Let alone make good decisions with the ball.

 

[Wishbone]

This game will come down to the wire. Either team can win. Probably comes down to turnovers.

 

[MarkOU]

Fuck ND. We crush them.

Bell has been named starter.

35-10 OU!!

 

[td2play]

I like the way you think Mark!

Did you guys see how Bob was being all cryptic about who the starter would be going forward. He knows damn well that Blake won the starting job for the rest of the season on Saturday but Bob wanted to talk about how the other players around the QB were better. It makes a huge difference when the WR is hit in stride and can run with the ball instead of having to reach for every bad throw from TK.

Hope your right Mark!

Damn...you make me think of that quote from Conan.

 

[outlaw okie]

27-24 OU

I'm actually more worried about Baylor and OSU.

 

[sooner78wakeboard]

Looking at the early schedule so far.

OU
(Won, 34-0) Louisiana Monroe , currently 2-1, with victories over Grambling State and Wake Forest
(Won, 16-7) WVU, currently 2-1, with victories over William and Mary, Georgia State
(Won, 52-20) Tulsa, currently 1-2, only victory is Colorado State

Notre Dame
(Won, 28-6) Temple, currently 0-3
(Lost, 41-30) Michigan, currently 3-0, victories over Notre Dame, Akron, and Central Michigan
(Won, 31-24) Purdue, currently 1-3, only victory is over Indiana State

Looks like it could be a close game. I really thought we had them last year, but this year both teams are totally different than the teams they were last year. I have to say, I like our chances.

BOOMER!
