I was at that game as a freshman at OU.As an unranked team Oklahoma hadn't won vs a ranked team at home since 1990 against Nebraska.
They are speaking of Walker, last year.If he really punched a coach he shouldn’t have gotten any carries.
Doesn’t make sense to still play him if that was the case. If you are going to allow him to play at all after that alleged incident, then freaking play him
so was iThey are speaking of Walker, last year.
The rumor was he took a swing at Demarco. He was inactive for a game or 2 last year as personal reasons, but was his punishment. He played after that. My understanding is ou would not give him scholarship or nil do to this, so he left.so was i
An average offense with a good-but-not great defense doesn't necessarily get you where you need to go playing the schedule we will face in the SEC.Ben Arbuckle as the new OC… Hopefully he works out. Just need an average offense to pair with the defense.
OU's defense was great this year.An average offense with a good-but-not great defense doesn't necessarily get you where you need to go playing the schedule we will face in the SEC.
We can quibble on elite/great, but it wasn't good enough to make us a national title contender if paired with an average offense. Riley's first three teams could have won the title with an average (or slightly below average) defense because we had some of the best offenses in the history of the sport. Our D this year gave up way too many big plays. I've heard so many game recaps on the pod where Teddy and Gabe say "our defense played great . . .except for four or five big plays." The problem is, those four or five plays count. It would be like saying an offense played great "other than the four turnovers." We need to get better on the back end. and still need more game changers on the D line.OU's defense was great this year.
It wasn't elite. But it was great.
but of course you will disagree because that is what you do
What is your definition of a title contender?We can quibble on elite/great, but it wasn't good enough to make us a national title contender if paired with an average offense.
Tennessee and South Carolina didn’t even have to run their offenses against us. There is no way of knowing how those games play out if our offense hadn’t put us in such deep holes, but I wouldn’t like our chances against either of them with an average offense. I certainly wouldn’t bet on us winning BOTH games. Our defense had a halftime lead against Ole Miss and got absolutely gashed in the third quarter. So to count all three of those games as wins seems a stretch.What is your definition of a title contender?
Because we are a playoff team with an average offense.
With an average offense, we beat tennessee, south carolina, ole miss and missouri.
Probably still lose to texas and lsu
OU is the #6 defense in the country per FEI ..An average offense with a good-but-not great defense doesn't necessarily get you where you need to go playing the schedule we will face in the SEC.
