Game Thread: Big 12 Championship : Jalen Hurts vs. Baylor

[rgw]

Oklahoma needs to just be constantly running against this defense. They can't pass pro these DEs but also Baylor can't stop basic dives and draws.

OU's OL is having an awful game in pass pro.

 

[rgw]

They can run a dive/draw between the tackles any time they want for 5+ yards. This is just offensive mismanagement by the OU staff.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Yes, unless GA beats LSU

That seems to be the biggest remaining wrinkle possible.

Hurts has been unchained at Oklahoma so the numbers are up but so are the turnovers.

It's kind of who he is, I mean he's not Jameis bad but he does turn it over a bit, he did so in his freshman year.

The following year he only threw one pick but he wasn't confident throwing at all.

 

[Krymsonman]

Well, two Jalen turnovers have set up all of Baylors points so far. Similar to last time they played.

Who are these imposter low scoring Big12 teams that are playing defense ? One is red the other is green. Any idea?

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Do the OU DBs know there's a football game going on?

 

[Go Bama]

OMG what a horrible pass for a Baylor completion!

His sophomore year they took away all routes that he struggled throwing. That's why defenses were able to shut him down - only had to defend half of the field.

It always amazes me when a QB throws up a desperation punt and it gets completed.

They seem to be extremely thin at DB. When they've had DBs go out this season, it has become a crapshoot with the quickness.

The SEC and the Big 12 have some weird freaky Friday thing going on, Vandy and Mizzou were left behind.

And - insultingly - they didn't even pretend to worry about the other half...

Backup QB 3 for 11, but has brought them back to a lead with that FG.

 

[Krymsonman]

Well, the way this game started out, I sure didn't think Baylor would be leading at the half. (assuming Okie doesn't pull out a miracle return or something).

 

[rgw]

Baylor will not win this game if OU just starts pounding the rock and protect the football

 

[PA Tide Fan]

Never expected this low a score at halftime.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Agree. Their depth just won't hold up...
