Football question

The Sooner Magic run was fun, but BV has to make some decisions on the offensive side of the ball. BB, Demarco, and JJF need to go. Arbuckle brings in the guys he wants. Try to keep Hawkins and pluck another guy from the portal and have a legit QB competition over the offseason.
 
What a debacle in every way possible. Lost all three phases. Crapped down our leg at every opportunity.

Blowing a 17-pt lead at home in the playoff against a team that came limping in the game is just an all time choke. This makes the choke in the Rose Bowl look like nothing since that at least came at a neutral site against a great team. This Bama team was so gettable.

So … the only successful season in Brent’s four years ends with a huge flameout. We go into next season with a below average quarterback and an offense that needs massive upgrades across the board.

Keep Hawkins for what? To be a bad backup? There is no way that dude should be on this roster next season, unless he changes positions.

I wouldn’t even be upset if BV fired Arbuckle in the offseason.
 
There are so many reasons why we lost this game which involved all three phases of it. Regardless, I believe the top three offseason priorities in no particular order are: 1) legit QB competition, 2) offensive line help, and 3) offensive assistant coaching upgrades.
 
I hope BV would make Kevin Wilson co-offensive coordinator and let Kevin Wilson call plays on offense.

Agree with most of this. We got unreal play from our defense and our kicker most of the season and it was barely enough to overcome our offense and sneak into the playoff. You can’t expect to have that happen again.

I’d add RB and WR to the list of needs. You won’t have any returning receivers who did anything of note. And whether people want to admit it or not, our backs just aren’t good enough. People can talk about injuries or whatever they want, but we don’t have difference makers there and we haven’t for three years.

I knew you'd be excited about this ending. If losing in the first round of CFP isn't a good season, then your boy Riley had none. I hope you enjoy this moment as much as we've enjoyed this team proving you wrong over and over. Not the result the rest of us were hoping for, but this season put your complete lack of football knowledge on display.

Yea we will bring back the same coaches and likely not recruit over any returning starters who want to come back. They will spend the spring and summer talking about how good some of the freshmen are, then they will all play about as much as Eli Thomas did on offense.

I listened to a national college football guy say a week or two ago that when you compare OU to Indiana, we have more talent on the offensive line, but IU plays much better because they are more disciplined and far better fundamentally, both of which obviously come down to coaching. But no chance we make a change there unless Bill retires. And DeMarco will keep turning 4-stars into stiffs who average 3 YPC. Our longest run by a back tonight was six yards. Our two backs averaged under 3 yards on 14 carries.

I don't really understand that after he just called a heck of a game. We make those 2 FGs and that's 30 points on a top 10 defense in the country. Or if X doesn't drop that ball it's 31. Which would have been the most all year after a bizarre first week.

If not for the brutally bad pick-6, Mateer haters would have been eating a lot of crow. As predicted by some of us, he looked completely different with time to rest his thumb and out of the brace for the first time. It's clear Arbuckle had a hand tied behind his back. This is the guy we saw against Michigan.

Mateer is our QB1 and Arbuckle is the playcaller. And we're gonna win the whole damn thing if we hit on a couple key positions in the portal.

Mateer missed Gibson on a layup for a touchdown. He led guys too far on several throws and that cost us lots of yardage after the catch. He did his usual BS and threw sidearm while jumping with no one around him. And once he threw the pick, he totally lost his way for over a quarter. Since you’re convinced he looked healthy tonight, how do you explain those things?

The Athletic rated him as the 11th best quarterback among the 12 playoff teams. I’d say that’s accurate.

They just mentioned it on the postgame, but seeing Jordan with that big catch in the first half begs the question: with as sorry as our offense was and as much as our WRs struggled for much of the season other than Sategna, why didn’t he play more??

Mateer = Different.. yet threw a decisive pick 6? And hit a defender at the line of scrimmage in his facemask because of his cool Dylan Raiola's take on Patrick mahomes' side arm

Uberbuckle is poop trash. His obsession with the mateer run game was a detriment all year. I bet it went for 1 yard or a loss more than anything 1+ yards all year..

Jordan was a weird omission all year IMO for a team with weak sauce WRs..
