I have probably overanalyzed OU Football this year, trying to find a specific reason why we haven't played great since texa$$.
In each game we can all point to a bad call here, a missed opportunity there, bad coaching decision here, boneheaded response there, but what I realized after Saturday is this: We are a decent team, that has looked above average for periods, and certainly show some improvement in several areas from last year.
What we aren't is a great team yet, because great teams finish games and pull out wins when they struggle. I believe our head coach will get us there soon, but I also realize his being a D coordinator for so long means he still is learning complete game management. we are seeing an increase in talent, especially on defense, but our depth still shows flaws when the starters are out. Recruiting is on the upswing, and I believe we will continue to progress. We need to finish strong because if we don't, the hard-to-please crowd will get louder and louder....
