If the D comes out lined up in a 3 man front after this sorry, pathetic excuse of a first half, I dont know what to think. This 335 is just not gonna cut it against the run.

I never bought into the idea we were going to blow them out, and I never thought Milroe was going to have a great game. Venerables with two weeks to prepare in a home game vs a quarterback like Milroe is a bad combination for us. However I never thought i would see 205 yards on the ground in a half vs our defense. If I was an Oklahoma fan then i would be questioning why they aren’t up by 21 right now. I think that’s why we are going to win in the end but we really need to abandon the constant “we need Milroe in NYC” campaign that we are seemingly attempting to do because if we keep messing around then we won’t have to worry about the playoffs or Atlanta going into the Iron Bowl next week.

I'm hoping for the best. I know and feel like our players want to win.

I dont think we can adjust on offense - JM doesnt have the skill set to pick them apart...only the deep ball. We need to get rid of the QB run but its in JMs DNA to keep the ball vs hand it off. We havent tried one screen, jet sweep or anything to get players in space. Its been a poor plan so far.

Exactly what I mentioned earlier. I stand by our need to throw some slants or screens.

This is why I’m still not sold on CKD. So he’s great at top ten matchups but it’s games like this that make him look clueless.

Also, I don’t care how the season ends, if Wommack is retained then I will have no faith in CKD. Wommack is in over his head and needs to go back to tiny schools.

I still believe there was something wrong with the players motivation and where their mindset was. That was part of the reason Saban left in my opinion. The team is very talented but just doesn’t seem to get motivated like past teams. We saw glimpses of it last year like the Auburn game were they needed a miracle to beat a bad team. If we see it on game day I would think it was 10 times worse off the field and practices.

I just don't see our coaching staff making half-time adjustments and that concerns me.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

This team is the most perplexing team I have ever watched. They don't look like the same team week to week.

 

[RammerJammer14]

If we run Milroe the first drive I might need stop posting lol

What if it goes for 12yds?

 

[SkinnyFats]

Show me a positive post by anyone

We thought kicking the field goal was the right move.

 

[B1GTide]

OK clearly did a good job preparing for us!

They had 2 weeks to install the stuff that Vandy did which they could replicate. But they cannot pass, and Vandy could, so I am flummoxed

 

[OconeeTide]

i figured it would be a close first half owing to OK being a well coached defense but they better come out second half on fire or the season is over.

Looks like we fixed our problem with penalties.

OU fans should be thrilled right now. They would be up 21 if they had a WR corps.

We can fix this. I hope we do.

 

[carder24]

We honestly look worse tonight than during the Vandy loss

Yeah this is like vandy with a defense

The difference is that Oklahoma has a legitimate defense… Vandy does not.

Yeah, a heisman doesn't make me feel good. We need a championship. But it's not about team anymore.

Coaching.

Coaching?

 

[Jay Hughes]

I mean, if all you're going to do is post negative things attacking the team you can not watch and not post.

Thank you! It really chaps me. How many posts in a row do you have to bash your second favorite team?

 

[CrimsonJazz]

I was highly concerned about this game because of their defense, but I never expected our defense to get trucked all game long.

they've given up 30+ on most of their losses...so apparently there is a way to score on them
