yes i agree but i dont know if we can play with the big boys on our schedule. i do agree if we run the table we are in. OU lost to texas and went to the playoffs. we can do the same but something needs to change big time with the defense. in OT u know they are running the ball. stop the f run. it shouldnt be that hard.
This.
It's better to lose early than lose late in the season. Let's hope this becomes our only loss. Ugh.
I'm just worried that we're not capitalizing on the recruits we do get. Eventually the lack of on field success will yield worse classes. We sorely need DL and safety recruits and year after year we whiff on them. I can't imagine an elite defensive prospect that would want to play for Van Gorder given his body of work.
True. We don't seem to land many top CBs and Safeties. Usually it's DL that are our studs and every now and again a LB. I still to this day don't think Russell was a top notch CB. But that's just me.
Well he was a converted RB because of a lack of numbers and played a great freshman year but we had a talented front 7 and a system that didn't tax the corners like the ones we have now. He was never the same player after his suspension and had an injury.
That dumbass 3rd & 12 call with 3:00 left in a 37-37 game on the road in hostile environment was such typical BK coaching, I just wanted to turn it off right then & there. He, once again, plays not to win and coaches 'scared' by calliing ANOTHER QB option read draw right up the middle. How many times had UT already seen that coming by that time? It was sooo predictably Kelly and UT was ready for the 12th time they saw it run at them.
A QB run on 3 & 12, on the road, with plenty of time to just get into a FG situation to win the game. And this shit.
He, basically, quit ... to play for OT, when he called that play. Took the wind out of our sails after scoring 21 pts to storm back into the game. The O was on a roll and he decided to end it ... WITH 3 FNG MINS still to play. Why? Only to give the fng ball back to a Texas offense that we couldn't seem to stop. We were lucky we survived it just getting to OT after that total gaffe of a call.
Was THEE game changer in my opinion. You simply cannot call plays "not to lose" in that situation in a big game like that. Especially when you have a premier offense that showed they could move the ball and score points.
I'm still soooo disgusted at this I still can't stomach myself to even listen to his post-game presser. Who did he put the blame on, btw? I'm sure he threw somebody under the bus and took none of the blame, huh?
Defense is horrible ... like many of us expected, but this play call.
Yeah, the absence of a defense means we'll likely drop a game or two we have no business losing.
