Well...this is bizarre. Can't hurt, though.

There have been several games Arbuckle has scripted very well early, only for Mateer to struggle down the stretch. Those first 20 minutes would have been impressive even for Baker. Absolutely beautiful offense. Those two touchdowns were executed to perfection. Then we faded, and I feared the...

I don't know how anybody is complaining about the execution in the first 20 minutes of that game when we were up 17-0.

My understanding has been that for at least 20 years, the teaching is that if the ref sees zero, they look to the ball, and if it has been snapped in the time it took to look back, it's fine. This happened all the way back in the Allen Patrick Oregon game and that was the discussion then. I...

The runs vs passes were pretty even most of the season. Got a little lopsided later in the game while playing from behind and decided 2-3 YPC wasn't going to cut it.

The only QB all year to throw for 300 yards against Alabama. It's amusing hearing people saying that Mateer, Arbuckle, and our WRs all suck. But at the same time also saying WRs were open all game. If Mateer truly sucked against Alabama, then either Arbuckle or our WRs are other worldly...

Saying that a college football player was going to drop a beautiful throw that hit him in the hands was a dumb hypothetical until it happened. In hindsight, I wish we had gone for it on 4th downs instead of dropping the punt or missing the FG. I wish we had ran the ball instead of throwing a...

In hindsight, I would rather X just catch it. I'll take my chances every time with the open guy for a touchdown. Over the course of the game/season, you come out WAY ahead. Who is to say he Mateer wouldn't trip, break his leg, or fumble?

Riley is an excellent playcaller, but Eric Gray had by far his worst season under him. Was much better under Heupel and went to a completely different level under Lebby. Riley really wanted Barnes and Tatum, so if that's a recruiting miss, then it also would have been under Riley as well. I'd...

Based on what? He came in 2020 and got excellent production from Rhamondre. In 2021, we squeezed every ounce out of Kennedy Brooks. In 2022, Eric Gray showed out of this world progression. One of the most impressive things I've seen coaching-wise at OU. In 2023, we got 6.2 YPC out of...

He definitely needs to go. He did a decent job calling plays at the end of the year considering he had both hands tied behind his back, which I think is why he was retained, but the TE room simply isn't where it needs to be, even if the production we got from a converted LB was near-miraculous...

Not happy with our RB room, but this is not even close to true.

It was for a lot of the mentioned departures (Daniels, Jones, Damonic) and Guillory as well. As it stands, we are poised to have every spot on the DL and secondary with somebody who has already started for us. LB is the only question for us, which would immediate stop being a question if Kip...

The notion that BV doesn't care about offense or willing to hold people accountable is based on absolutely no logic. His primary blunder was hiring Littrell to maintain continuity while retaining Arnold, which he corrected immediately. Littrell didn't last the season and Arnold was shown the...

I mostly agree with this, and this season we very much looked like the inverse of a Riley team. But I believe that BV is capable of putting an offense good enough to win it all...because he has. Pair our offense from year 2 with this defense and we win it all. Pair our year 1 offense...and...
