BOOOOOMER!!!!!!!!
SOOOONER!
SOOOOONER!!!!!!!!
SOONER!!!!!!
SOONER!!!
Let’s go…
https://youtu.be/YpMdIHgDmCA
BOOMER SOONER BABY!
OK, enough of the JV stuff, let’s play some real FB
Frank Shannon starting tonight.
Why?
Don’t know. I was just listening to the radio and they said he was starting tonight.
Senior. Not sure if he is playing all game. But its Senior Night.
Awesome
https://twitter.com/ou_football/status/668233847046279173
That’s awesome.
That gives me goosebumps! AWESOME! BOOMER SOONER!
Look at how touched he is. How much you wanna bet he blows up again tonight?
Awesome, that’s all.
Lol at the newest heisman house commercial
Those are always fun.
They don’t trust Billy enough to give him too many lines
Wow! 5 straight coin tosses won by the Sooners…
Mark May downplaying Mayfield but after OhSt/MSU you gotta think it’s between him & Henry at this point.
Clemson’s QB as well
Good point.
If I didn’t love my tv, I would have thrown my beer at him.
I feel that way every time I hear his voice.
Let’s go D!
Pukes/Bears tied.
Tap!!!
The Tap attack is starting early!
That’s how you break in a new QB!
Tap Out!
3 and OUT!!!
FOURTH DOWN!
3 and OUT………..
Damn good start, D.
Let’s go get a TD!
Crowd sounds good so far!
I want what tap got mid year this year.
Mixon, FIRST DOWN!!!
Good move by Joe!
Go, Joe, go!
Great patience by Mixon.
Baxter, FIRST DOWN!!!
He was holding on to the ball tight too!
That’s good to see. Hes getting some instruction and making positive change.
Yep.
Baxter!
Alright, let’s go tempo
He was trying to hit Shep at the concession stand.
What was the game time temp?
Dang
Stupid, stupid, stupid!
Stupid penalties.
Stoops just had a friendly chat with Brown.
It looked like a one-sided convo.
Oh yeah! Very much so!
It would be funny if Bob had a step stool to climb on to talk to him.
Down at the 3
Wow Brown——really?
Had one last week too, didnt he?
Showing aggression, but dumb.
Yep, when he piled on Oakman.
Probably. Everyone was chippy last week though.
Yes, but that one was ok. He was establishing himself to the evil bear across from him.
True. Very true.
youth
Nice punt and cover.
Fumble coming up.
i’ll settle for a safety
Pick 6?
that too
Sanchez pick 6.
And OF COURSE, they hit a long bomb. Sheesh!
Sort of think Riley got away from the run a little there…seemed to be marching right down the field there until we began passing more.. Its very early still. But got to keep that rhythm..
Totally agree. Posted similar below you.
Gotta keep working the run game and then those play action will really open things up.
wow
wow, that was a duck
Nice throw.
We need to buckle down and take control now. Put the foot down and keep it down.
Where’s the safety?
Waaaaaaaay too much cushion there.
Sanchez too much cushion stupid
Let’s Go D!
Dang!!!
Thomas getting beat like a redheaded stepchild!
Edit*
Thomas?
Yeah, dang it. Listening to three feeds of the game and one was behind talking about Evans tackle.
We’re really giving up the long play already
Are you kidding me?!?!?
Exactly what I was concerned about… Over-FREAKING-looking TCU. DAMN. DAMN. DAMN.
Not a great start but I don’t think we’ve overlooked them.
I sure hope you’re right. Def need a good drive here. Is this just our M.O.?
Listenbee is the new Doctson. Gotta know where he is guys!
gonna come down to the line play
Kid throws a great deep ball
a lot of air under them though, we can make adjustments
Same as last week. Got to get to him. Back end has to Step-it-the-hell-up!
You can’t be passive and let the QB sit and throw deep.
come on guys lets buckle down
Wow didn’t realize a game ended in half a quarter? All you fans calm down, baylor game didn’t start well either!
LOL!
this is a game thread, people show emotions on it . deal with it!
LOL I am dealing with it by telling y’all to calm the F down so you Deal
who the hell are you to tell someone how to eatch a game?!,
And who the hell are you to tell me to keep my thoughts in check when I am stating what I want just as much as you! Chew on them Apples and think a lil bit and have a pleasant evening if you can!
Boomer!…..and you gotta say it back!
SOONER!!!
I’d say it’s more a reaction to the kinds of stuff we’re giving up early
I think we should consider some safety help over the top.
Thomas had it on the first pass of the drive. He was late in arriving.
Safety went to the middle of the field.
Put Austin in.
Who u benching?
OK, let’s go
Safety standing flat footed in the middle of the field.
Not liking the pass rush or Thomas against Listenbee so far. In-game adjustments have been excellent all year so we are fine.
It’s like we were expecting a QB run game instead of a deep game…need adjustments.
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
GREAT run!
Perine is a STUD!
Whoa..
Scratch that play off the list.
TCU bringing some good pressure. Dang
not a fan of throwing on 1st downs
Or second or third if you got Perine.
Baker needs to hand off or get rid of it.
They are keeping him bottled up when he improvises. We need to run and get some quick, safe passes.
Run the freaking ball!
That was beyond ugly.
Once again… Big run by Perine for a first, then too many passes.
Bears 21 -14
Defense better get to the QB.
Need Striker and Bond to start getting after this kid.
Passing game is sputtering pretty bad. Come on Riley….earn that paycheck
Lot of time left.
Not worried yet. Need to run the ball. And come up with better screen plays. Looks like tcu is gonna try to pressure mayfield and keep him in the pocket.
gonna have to dump a few short ones over the top to Mixon/Andrews
7dbs and we tgrow the ball. How did that fork? Come on man!!!!
They just said on TV that their LB’s are converted safeties—-it’s like they’re inviting OU to pound the rock. So what do we do?
JH calling plays…
Run, Run, Run….Then play actions! lets go sooners!
Striker almost had one there…
here comes the deep ball
We need a TO right here!
Dang, that WR did a nice job of weaving through traffic. Gotta drop him fast.
Nice play Sanchez.
Hey, a wrap up tackle by Sanchez……Nice!
Tap!!!
There we Go D!!!
YES!
Walker!
pinning the ears back
Walker…
Great D guys!
WR wide open right at the snap.
He needs to see that corner blitz and cut in behind it,
Yep!
Now let’s drive this down the field. Not a good start. Dang
just run it all night long
Fo sho
Run the ball
I am really starting to dislike this Baker up the middle
Someone needs to tell him he’s not our top running back!
Another great run!
s/= sarcasm. I assume you are talking about the Baker runs and not the Perine one.
No—Perine.
Embarrassing
If Mayfield keeps the ball one more time I swear I will send him the bill for my broken television
And last year we were screaming for the QB’s to keep it. Lol!
Damn it give it to the backs
Oline needs to pick it up
Have to pound the rock right now. Have to.
LR will make adjustments-
Heisman curse trying to do too much, just do what got us here!
shhhhh
Did Katy Perry get to him?
Taylor Swift 🙁
What are they calling?
Sanchez!!!!
SANCHEEEEEEEEZ!!
Sanchez KNEW what play was coming before the snap!
Nice!
ZS
Please run the ball
Run downhill. Period. The blitzes and coverage will loosen up later. Perine is killing them between the tackles.
Okay, this is going to be a dog fight. Sooners need to get serious. And then Sanchez gets a pick. Nice
Yes!
Next 5 plays should be runs
Once again, Sanchez haters, eat it!
Tell me Sanchez isn’t good. He saw that before the snap.
Zack saw that from a mile away.
But haven’t u read the threads? He’s a liability!
Now time to get serious about running the ball. No more getting cute.
Mixon, FIRST DOWN!!!
He is running with patience. Waiting for the blocks.
Keep running that ball!
Let’s use ALL of our backs!
FIRST DOWN!!! Mixon
That was PURE want right there!
Run, run, run!
And then run some more!
Rotate legs and wear their a$$ out!
Here we are running the ball at will, and I’m nervously waiting for when they’re going to ignore the run and try to do another keeper or pass play
Maybe Riley heard us!
Comment of the night^^^^^^
Yea I saw him looking at his phone he has TFB on refresh! 🙂
Keep doing this then play action will open right up
And, BOOOM!
I like this, work the body, then go for the hay maker!
Riley: it’s 1975 and your head coach is Barry Switzer. Any guesses as to what he wants you to do?
Play action to shep!
we will wear them down, 48-17 Boomer!
Brooks would do well as a RB facing this D
Shep, TD!!!
BOOMER!
SOONER!!
Sooner,,m
SOONER!!
Just like I said…….play action.
That was perfect. Defender bit and Shep was wide open.
yeah that was perfect
check out my comment 13-14 minutes ago. lol
Hell NO……Im taking credit for it na na na na
Here let me quote it for ya…
“Run, Run, Run….Then play actions! lets go sooners!”
haha :0
I CANT READ YOUUUUUUU
ROTFLOL!
f yeah
YOU THE MAN SHEP!!!!!!!!!!!!
nice TO by TCU
When in doubt, look for Shep!
Lincoln if you had missed that I would be blasting you right now. But you made it, so…..ok
Wide Freaking Open!
There you go…
Tricked me. I thought samaje had the ball at first.
He laid some wood on that LB that stepped up in the hole.
Me too, and it wasn’t until he bounced off the defender and kind of stopped, that realized he didn’t have it. LOL
<—-
Keep the momentum.
No turnovers.
Take this game over!
Next play by Riley is the 30th person to comment on this gets to call the play! 😉 trust me he is reading!
OK D
Proud for shep.
I like the mayfield/striker comparison!
leaders
Defense…
Striker is gonna get him Sooner
Or later.
both
Lol
Dang, can’t leave ’em THAT open. Glad he slipped.
Whats the over/under on how many times that stupid Jimmy Kimmel commercial plays?
430
Stupid. Yes, I hate that one!
I’m thinking TCU has shown their tricks and now they’re screwed. 42-14ish final I think.
Good play A. Thomas
Great job D!
Love it, both coordinators making adjustments
Sanchez? where were you going?
Zone coverage.
He was biting on the double move?
Bingo. maybe
He’s trusting his safety to make a play?
Could be that!
yeah, he did bite but was rescued
That was an interesting zone on 3rd and 6. A better pass might have been a touchdown.
we don’t block well on special teams.
Dede, Personal?
Yep
Come on Ref. It’s his birthday. Really, it’s Dede’s birthday.
great catch Durron!
Great comeback.
Mixon, FIRST DOWN!!!
Jail time for the next personal foul. Dang!
Baker, FIRST DOWN!!!
anyone else think our faster back, Brooks would be good tonight?
Baker doesn’t strike me as a “slider”.
WOW! did you see that hit by Mixon?
Baker, targeting. Not goood
Head to head.
Ok everything I said about avoiding the keeper……yeah, scratch that
Unscratch that!
Spearing?
risk/reward ratio catching up?
Yup
helmet to helmet run the ball
Hope Baker is okay
Take Baker out. He looks out of it.
Yup, put TK in and let him hand it off some.
exactly
Led with the head….he gone.
Isn’t he ejected?
They are reviewing it.
Number 42 should be ejected!
Mixon killed someone too.
Yes he did and it was AWESOME!
Baker should be on the bench at this point. Period!
run the f ball….
They dont care about that.. Seems like frogs trying to get Baker out..
Bye bye, 42.
#6 tough hombre
Meanwhile, how about that Mixon back block on Curry?
It was sweet!
Why are they not testing Baker???
Not sure. But that looked REALLY bad!
Agreed
He may not even know where he is right now.
Thats twice in a row that Samaje could have gotten big yards.
It will come.
BM a bit concussed me thinks. Obvious targeting.
What is riley calling?
That was supposed to be a run, but Baker decided to keep it.
Youre right and I hope Baker isnt letting the Heisman talk go to his head and that hes thinking he can win this game on his own.
Me too!
I hate seeing players ejected, but if we’re going to do that, the shot that Mixon took last week was far worse IMO.
Run the ball!!!!
damn it block
Baker, almost, FIRST DOWN!!!
He’s three yards short.
Yeah, my bad, cant see yellow line on the field. lol
LOL! No problem, I was just trying to help you out.
oops, short!!!
#6 special, tough hombre
Go for it…
Kid is a freaking warrior.
With a possible head injury.
At least we have TK in case.
In the NFL, he would already be in the locker room.
Take it back
Not gonna do it. 🙂
THAT is the mark of a true Heisman player. Mayfield is a true giant among men.
And Kliff Kingsbury is a ******* idiot. Thankfully.
Alright D, you see what TCU’s game plan is, they intend to hurt Baker. GO OUT AND DESTROY FROGGIES!
LR is over thinking. Run the damn ball!
In his defense, he has frustrated us before early only to set up some great stuff later. Let’s be patient and see how things play out.
They are double teaming Shep…Need a WR to beat his man.
Put Andrews in with Shep and toss it to him until they decide to go mano y mano on Shep. JMO
D is going to kill this team now- protect their family
But don’t play stupid.
right
But destroy!
Sure looks like he is concussed. I hope he’s alright..
I think youre right. If he’s still trying to shake it off thats not good.
Well, I’ve taken hits that had me cross-eyed for a play or two afterwards, but my mind was still clear… Hopefully its just some cobwebs.. kind of like hitting your head on the cabinet or something. ?
Yeah, my brother took an elbow to the head during a basketball game in college and played the last 7 minutes of the half. The trainers suggested I take him to the hospital to get him really checked out. When we were almost at the hospital he asked me why he was in the car and doesn’t remember playing after he hit the floor after the elbow. He even scored four points. The Baker pass after his hit reminded me of that since it looked like it was supposed to be a running play. Scary.
Need to run. It’s working and BM is shaken up. Let’s loosen uo this coverage for him.
And slow down this rush..
Baker could have played Hockey!!
We need a stop and a TD to get separation.
Need.a TD, then another, and another….
TCU secondary covering well. Start running the ball again.
Tap hurt?
???
So is Baker hurt?
He sure looks like he got concussed.
Sanchez!!!! again
Nice job D!
Sanchy my boy!!
Who was it earlier that pointed out all the air under Sawyers passes? Sooner Ray??!! You called it!
EDIT: It was RBEAR
me
RBear, you called it!
Yep, too much air under this guys stuff
They tried it again….NOTTT so fast my friend.
Sanchez is Sawyer ‘ s favorite receiver.
He likes him a lot!
Funny, I didnt think into the 2nd quarter Sanchez would have more receptions than Shep.
LOL!
Sanchez…yes…Let’s go offense.
Whoever said we need another receiver to get open, i introduce to you Zack Sanchez.
LOL!
Leading the team in receptions.
Do I need to say it again?
reviewing his foot?
He caught in bounds right?
TCU trying to go to the well one too many times. keep it up D.
Show your tata’s and I’ll click on your link 😀
Caleb kelly tweeted he already left the game.
Why?
Didn’t say just said they already left the game
That sucks!
Actually said they left to eat now
He didn’t get a cookie cake?
Hope they went to Bob’s house.
: P
https://youtu.be/PVrEwCa8nSA
Great pick! i yelled zach Sanchez and my wife wanted to know who six inches was. I guess I said his name too fast
Great job D!!!
Mayfield looks like he has a concussion.
So if everyone else thinks Baker’s concussed, how is it no one on the coaching staff seems to have noticed?
OU Training staff is legit, so they wouldn’t put him in if he wasn’t okay. I trust ’em.
Maybe he played it off so they didn’t check him. I can see that with a gamer like him.
Andrews, FIRST DOWN!!!
He will be a weapon against this team.
Andrews!
nice crisp ball from a concussed QB
Mixon, FIRST DOWN!!!
https://twitter.com/gabeikard/status/668250552552316928
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
Keep Running!
LR, do you see this? I hate picking on you because I LOVE what yOU have done for OUr offense, but keep running it!
I love Perine and Mixon!
Run their Ass into the ground!!!!
Curry has had a rough second quarter.
Andrews in the middle off play action?
It was comical to watch lil Zeus chasing the safety playing LB, trying to get a block on that Perine run.
Only person who can stop our run game is Lincoln. He’s smart so he will do what works.
Go for it!!!!
I concur!
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
Go…
Half the reason we have been successful running is because we can be a pass threat. So chill and trust the system and enjoy the game!
Go for it!!!!!
Love that play call!
That was awesome.
Brooks is gonna house it. I can feel it.
Great to see him back in
Man, zone read not working for us lately
TCU DL is going to get tired out in the second half.
I saw that Brown!
Damn penalties.
https://twitter.com/calebkkelly/status/668251854220845056
Brown.
Shep, can’t believe that one went through his hands.
Will somebody please tell me what Orlando Brown does that is actually beneficial to this team. At least one sack on him, a holding, personal foul, missed blocks on runs….He is terrible in my opinion.
…..
He is a freshman. Don’t be an ass.
Not being an ass…..What does he do well? He had a dumb penalty after the play at Baylor as well. He is stupid! He couldn’t learn from that bonehead mistake?
Take it easy man
On the Joe Mixon run he was 15 yards up the field. He was looking for somehone to block and never actually participated in the play.
The big runs this year have come to his side.
Big runs have come from all over the field.
Who u putting in coach?
….
Not terrible but he plays sloppy sometimes, drawing penalties.
He had a cpl of great blocks last week. On one, Perine had a modest 55 yd TD run. The guy is young. He’ll get a helluva lot better before he’s done here.
Offense got out of sync after that stupid holding penalty.
Yeah, and kind of ran out of gas there.
Yep.
I think we will wear them down, soon they’ll put in their punter for LB
what kind of calls? Where is the shovel pass?
Well it was 1st and goal from the 19 so I’m not gonna be that upset about it.
We haven’t used it yet this year, have we?
i think once
If i remember correctly, wasn’t that a last-ditch effort to avoid a sack or fumble?
Keeping their D on the field will pay later.
Wow, 5/13 for 61 yards for Baker and 1 TD.
Offensive Line not doing him any favors
good TCU D
Missing a good chunk of their actual starters….Safeties playing LB???? We should be better than this
Their D line is stout. Chill out.
good schemes are just as effective sometimes though- we’ll get there
Patterson has a good gameplan going; lots of coverage and getting pressure with delayed blitzes and stunts. Things will open up if we keep running well.
No worries guys. They have to show their hand to stop the run, that will cost them if our players can beat 1:1
I thought we would struggle all season in the tcu game. Without Boykin I got my hopes up. Patterson always has a tough team so I should have known they would be ready.
Mayfield needs to lose the damn sleeves by the way.
Need to start dumping it to Mixon
Baylor, 24-14
The Wr are not beating their guys.
Receivers gotta get open.
We should let the walk on senior kicker kick off one time. Don’t know his name
Baker still doesn’t look all there
Imagine Landry Jones playing behind this O-Line.
“Shudder”.
He’d last half of a quarter, maybe.
Tap!!!
FUMBLE
That one may hurt!
Tapper!
Look what I found.
“Gimme that football!”
Break their will. RUN
Tap Out! Tappers draft campaign
Get tough O line!!
Their RB looked a tad upset…
Westbrooke, TD!!!!
Ugh good throw
Dede!!!
BOOMER!
SOONER!!
SOONER!
Baker showing his mettle
He’s incredible.
Hell yeah!
Happy Birthday Dede! TD Sooners!
Give that boy a cookie cake!
HA!
Errybody else got one!
I could use one. I need a snack.
Me too. Feeling lazy today, so i only had mac n cheese for dinner. From the microwave. I ate all the no bake cookies i had last night.
I had goulash for dinner. and then stole some of the cookies my wife was making for Thanksgiving.
My wife made some pumpkin spice cookies with icing….MMMMMM.
Yummy! My wife made peanut butter cookies with hershey kisses on them. Good stuff.
SWEET………………….
You all remember 2 years ago when Belldozer trucked that TCU dude to seal the game. Great memories
BOOMER!!!!!!!
SOONER!
SOONER!!!!!!
SOONER!
SOONER!!!!
Sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hate hearing the announcers try to discount the touchdown by saying he got away with a push off. Great throw great catch
I listen to Toby, not the talking heads on TV. But, it was a small push. hehe
I usually listen to it on the radio now i see why my dad used to watch it on tv and listen to Bob Barry call the games on the radio
He did get away with a push off. LOL
I’m just glad we can get away with that. Remember how blatant gAg&M and ND were that didnt get called. DeDe’s was insignificant in that respect.
Can we get a touch back?
21 or 22 yd line is better than the 25 eh?
Into the wind?
Oh. I’m in Cali. It’s hot here.
LOL! It got to 41 here in SW KS today.
I like the 20 better than the 25 too. I think best kick is high spinnig 2 yards deep. Not deep enough to kneel, but deep enough to make it tough.
Almost picked by Thomas.
The Goal right now is to beat TCU worse that Bama beat Charleston Southern.
There is no way we ever jump Bama. MSU will likely jump us, and they probably should. We can’t gripe where we stand after losing to TX.
Obviously not everyone gets my humor lol
Yeah, I missed it…Need to handle business tonight and next week and be hopeful for some good fortune!
best of luck with that.
Baker has 6 completions, to 6 different receivers.
If he wasn’t so reluctant to dump off to Mixon and Perine he would have a lot more. And our offense would would be much better.
Exactly.
Would be nice to get a stop here and get another chance to score. Sooners get the ball to start the second half.
Dang it!
Dang it
Bond is not the same player he was earlier in season. people setting the edge on him
opponents matter
agreed. just not as strong at point of attack as I remembered
Maybe hes still not 100%
maybe? idk
Dang! Could have used another pick there!
Big time holding by the TCU o-line, not being called. UGH!
I saw that too!
Looked like he was trying to undress our D-lineman.
Looked like my students dancing at prom
LOL!
It hasn’t been called all year.. I just don’t even expect it anymore.
Striker!!
Watch for the fake
Our punt return strategy continues to baffle me but no fumbles so that’s a win
All about ball control. I think I’m one of the few that is perfectly fine with it.
As long as Shep catches the ball and does not fumble, I’m ok with it.
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
Why the zone read? Just run at ’em
We need to stop this QB designed run BS before we get Mayfield killed.
Is it me, or do all our snaps seem to be rather high?
Is the field wet?
Cold
Perine stopped to tie his shoe and still gets the first.
Baker definitely should have handed that one off
Shep, FIRST DOWN!!!
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
declined, Perine!
They so tired
Shep looks like he is hurting.
did the splits, involuntarily
I would never get up again.
Can’t be too comfy to get planted on the cold, hard ground repeatedly! Maybe he’s just taking a few extra moments to gather his composure.
Shep okay?
He got jacked on that last reception
Dump it to the back…
Can we incorporate that?
Swing Mixon out he is deadly in space.
Don’t need no stinkin shoes!
Dede, FIRST DOWN!!!
Tough one.
HUNH
Exactly as designed.
Shep, FIRST DOWN!!!
Time for flowers!
YES!
Or Andrews
Aww I didnt know you cared (blush)
Let’s get 6 not 3 here!
I’ll take the three.
Get the score!
Andrews in the middle, please!
Or Flowers
Was he even on the field?
Probably not, but a guy can hope.
I agree with you. That would have been a great spot for him.
So close to a TD to Mixon.
Should have had that one.
Yep. Great throw
Got him in the hands
Flowers would have caught it 🙂
Should have caught that.
Right through the mitts! Dang.
Heckuva throw though!!
That was bad.
3 score lead on TCU at the half? I’ll take it
Technically only 2 scores.
adding 2 pt conversions?
That would be 4 scores, technically speaking.
No, we are up 16, which is two scores with two, 2-point conversions.
get outta…
3 score game IMO
A 2 pt conversion is a 2 point score? 🙂
LOL! No it’s added on to the end of the regular score… 😎
Uh, 2 scores is 12. 🙂
Mixon dropped style points.
That was a freakin heisman moment for Baker too!!! grrrrrrr
23-7 lead at half…..not too bad. I’ll take it…..for now 😉
Samia needs to block better.
dude, you’re kinda negative tonight- got a pill laying around?
Brown needs to stop being an idiot
OU starts with the ball in the second half.
Once again Mike Stoops settled his guys down and made adjustments. complete 180 from last year
I’ll take the 3.. Especially since we get it first to start the 2nd half. Boomer!!
Our passing game doesn’t seem to be doing too well, but it looks like we’re going to be able to pound the ball down their throat. Hopefully it keeps up!
I believe it is pretty windy and cold. That doesn’t help too much. A little better protection would help too.
As much as they talk about his completion percentage against blitzes, blitzing is the way to slow down Mayfield. Sure, plenty of big plays but he doesn’t always see the field well or quickly. Announcers suggesting that it is his height but it does make him less consistent. Best Sooner QB throwing on the run without question though
Shep, right wrist injury.
UGH!
That’s what the chick said to stoops. Stoops said we got to see in the locker room.
Yep. DANG IT!
source?
radio mentioned it but said it was not a biggie
Coach Stoops. He was interviewed walking off the field and said they were looking at it.
Shep’s got a wrist injury? 🙁
Mark May, you are a giant jerk! Get off the TV!
~70% completions on the season, but ya, lets look at half of one game.
Look at his entire season’s body of work. He has carried this team at times. UGH!
No cookie cake for him!
You got that right!
I stopped listening to that peckerwad years ago
He’d be asking Baker for his hand in marriage if he played for Bama.
No kidding!
I believe he is a huge douche!
Yes, yes he is.
1) #95 is molesting our O line.
2) Great defensive effort.
3) Score a TD to start the 3rd.
4) Get these coverages figured out so BM has somebody to throw to.
If shep is seriously hurt. I am going to shed tears.
Hopefully it’s just a stinger.
Hey. Guys. This Friggin DEFENSE THO…. #firemike
Damn…Ezekiel Elliot calling out his coaches…
What a little turd. He was unknown until Meyer put him on the map last year.
And after he did that he announced he was not coming back next year.
Meyer lost his OC to Houston, prob an accurate statement
Urban Meyer losing control of the bucketeyes.
Ezekiel Elliott – questioning play calling. Meyer running a program of favorites and prima donnas again
He does that everywhere he goes, then leaves the team in shambles.
Okie Lite killing us with their lack of effort with Baylor
someone needs to tell them… “This is why we cant have nice things”
Aggie gonna aggie.
You silly butt.
I thought they were way overrated to begin with. Really, they beat TCU after Doctson was hurt. Other than that, they have done nothing impressive.
All true but beating them at home and too 10 would be nice.
We will get our chance to back up any talk about the Pokes on the field.
Very lucky team this year
Agreed but I’m just thinking of our resume
I truly believe that even if Okie lite was undefeated and OU destroyed them 30, OU would still get screwed.
they beat texas
Yep, thanks to the officials.
We beat bama.
LOL!
And against their 3rd string QB. Stidham left the game with an ankle injury, as did Linwood.
Really?? Did not know that.
Yep. 3rd stringer is lighting the pokies up.
If ou commits to running the ball down hill and not so much zone read which baker isn’t ever going to give up ball anyway, they will score 30 in 2nd half imo.
Im usually for his reads, but they have 2 guys spying him tonight…
Yup tcu is so disciplined. I’d have 2 backs in there rest of the game and run power and lead and counter and iso all night. Then play action
Take away their will!
With TCU being undersized all over the place, I say lets see if Perine can break his own record.
If baylor beats Okie lite its “see they were over rated” Sparty takes down Buckeyes and its “man, sparty was under rated” damned either way folks.
I dont even care about all this CFP bullsnot anymore. The committee is clearly biased. Im hoping for Big12 Champs and a solid bowl game where we embarrass SEC/B1G/PAC12…
The run doing just fine. Almost 200 yds in 1st half. Baker should only need to throw 10-12 more times this game.
Two issues I see on O: 1) LR keeps going away from the run when it’s working; and 2) BM is trying to do too much. He keeps on the ZR way too much. I hope the Heisman buzz isn’t impacting his decision making.
More likely the concussion is. 😉
Exactly, good point! I hope they took a good look at him at half.
Agreed. And I hope it turns out he is ok, like ok in the 95-98% range..
Hopefully it was mild enough that he’ll be ok…but it sounds like he’s getting dinged up pretty bad. Even though we want Mayfield to have his Heisman moments against TCU, it might be smart to put in Knight earlier than we otherwise might.
Yep! The haters won’t like me saying it, but TK can win this game. Don’t risk BM if he’s not close to 100%.
OR… we could just forego any attempts at Heisman Moments and just have him play smart…
No issue with LR here, even if I don’t agree with every call. Baker is trying to do too much. Just put it in your playmaker’s hands.
OMG! Mark May talking up how great bama played today… It was a Div-2 school MORON!
He gets a bonus for everytime he talks about how awesome Bama is. If they lose he will talk about how great Saban’s hair is.
That’s what he’s paid to say.
Because he’s an idiot.
Also downplayed Mayfield and his stats… said “9 for 20”. Clearly he was watching Bama clips during the game.
Yep. No mention of almost 50 rushing yards and playing hurt.
Agree with everyone who wants to run the ball in the 2nd half but I want Brooks in there to hit the holes a lot faster.
I’m all for it. Keep running in fresh horses.
Iowa loses to Nebraska then wins Big 10 against MSU. We win and that would do it
Have you seen Nebraska play? No way they stop Iowa and their run game. Nebraska has ZERO “black shirts” on defense.
Enough for MSU
Oh, SNAP!
LOL! That was purely won on offense. How many points did they give up again?
Don’t look now but BC down by a score and driving.
damnit. Now I want to look, and you just told me not to…
Drive is over, but they are keeping it close. The announcers have mentioned ND isn’t looking like the #4 team yet.
Yep. -13 rush yards. Bastard BC! At least they’re making ND look bad.
And they have brought in a replacement QB. i don’t know why. But hopefully can spark BC to great thkngs.
ND just interrupted our wet dream.
Tired of injuries taking away from wins and losses. OU didn’t have Bond for texsa game… think he might have helped a little? Nobody ever brings that up.
Fair point. Never mentioned.
Missing Bond and like 2 O-linemen werent we?
Think that was Ty and Nilas 1st game back from injury. I think.
All you have to say is OSU LOST to a second team QB, at least we win.
The wrs are not getting open, so use Mixon out of the backfield.
TE should be open all day the way they are bull rushing.
Do we have a dedicated ST coordinator or is another position coach handling it?
Its Boulware
That’s what I thought- could Viney do it?
If that’ll keep him here…heck ya…I don’t think we have enough spots though..PR has been a head scratcher since Saunders left…Boulware did good with him and was good at it at Auburn…might be Shep and just wanting to get the ball and let the O take care of it
OT but does anyone else feel bad for ISU? They seem to come up just short almost every week.
Baker coming out of tunnel, WITHOUT helmet
Concussion test at half?
I thought they did a pre-lim test after the targeting call
Well, then things are about to get interesting.
we’ll definitely be running the ball now
TK can get revenge on TCU.
I think we have good QBs. I just hate losing a friggin’ Heisman candidate this late in the season.
frickin’ TCU again- took TK out last year
Baylor scores again
Baylor putting it on them now. Could work out in our favor if we wnd up with the best win at the end of the year.
Trevor, c’mon kid.
Baker out.
And he is bummed
concussions are funny things. worry more about upcoming weeks for Baker
No kidding! I had one once. It was not fun.
Baker does not look happy.
Nope
Pound the rock Sooners!
Exactly. Basically have 3 RBs back there now.
At least the committee cant use the no Boykin excuse now. We lost our QB too.
I assume BM will be unavailable next week which would make things much more interesting. Just get him healthy for the playoffs (God willing).
Why assume that? Dude was playing the rest of the half. This is precautionary.. He is playing next week.
Is Shep out too?
went through warm ups
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
I’m disappointed for Baker, I know he’s a gamer and would hate to not compete.
That being said, concussions are really rough – I treat quite a few people with concussions and they can be quite nasty.
oh no
great
Perine injured?
That does not look good either…Ankle
Omfg…
You took the letters right out of my mouth
FREAKING CRAP!
YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING
What is going here?
Well the dude that posted about putting Brooks in gets his wish. Damn it!
wish it hadn’t happened that way though
Left ankle
left ankle
He’s done for the game
ankle not knee I think they way they were testing it
Ick…down to 3 scholly RBs…and losing our big-time RB and QB…I hate that.
Damn.
Damn…
Let’s not lose our minds. TK has had some big games and is more than capable winning this one. We also have a stable of backs that can handle the load.
Down one back.
We have Brooks too.
It’s not about this game. it’s abou the next game , or games
Not liking this situation at all
Baker sure was playing well for possibly having a concussion.
I know a guy that drove a 30 lap feature in a sprint car and did very well, swore after the race that he wasn’t in the car.
Well crap. Now the goal should be to finish them game as healthy as we can from the point forward. CRAPOLA!
would like to see the replay
Ankle was twisted under the tackler.
Wow thinks went south fast since half time
Worst nightmare just came to reality
Would love to see the TK from the sugar bowl again
As long as he avoids INTs TK is good. Mixon and the D will carry us in this one. A little concerned about next week right now.
Me too
Next week is next week……need to finish this one off and it’s just started the second half.
Let’s hope he is ok. Didn’t look too bad but never know with ankles and knees.
We had been pretty lucky this season with the injury bug. But this really sucks. I’m sure we’ll still play hard and do well though.
Not good! Both of them out.
Perine walking on it but shouldn’t return IMO
Very gingerly walking on it.
Where’s the OL?
Let’s go TK!
Guess that balances out Boykin and Doctson.
Hopefully Knight’s not too rusty and doesn’t do the pick-6 thing.
i think he’s gonna have to run it to keep our O on the field
Why even say that? ;(
I take it all back.
Not sure if the announcer realizes that TK has played some third and a few 4th quarters this year. Just sayin’.
By the way, the pukes are getting absolutely annihilated right now – if anyone hadn’t noticed
I’m only paying attention to ONE game. 🙂
Makes me nervous about next week…they’ll be playing angry and it’s Bedlam and we’ll be playing wounded (not that it’s an excuse).
I think Perine will play next week (being optimistic)
Hopefully they both play next week. Just get them healthy for bowl season.
There’s still a lot of game left we can’t play too safe
Exactly. Play it just like you would with Baker and Perine in there. Ball all out Sooners!
yeah, saw that knee
Man o Man
CRAP! Now TCU has GREAT field position.
HFS
Crud ola
Damn it.
We need something positive to happen rather quickly. Things going crappy right now.
Like maybe Knight keep it on a zone read maybe….NO ONE WOULD EXPECT THAT!!! COULD GO FOR ABOUT 80 YDS
Wow, talk about a huge sequence of bad luck…
poor snaps tonight, high to Baker, low to Siebert
Not sure the half could start in a worse fashion….. Geez
Is it just me or is B Stoops looking more and more like Beemer?
need a stop here.
Anyone need a drink refill?
Way ahead of ya.
No you’re not. 🙂
Good.
The wheels are falling off. Come on D!
that rule needs to be reviewed and modified for punters only
Is that Horkey or C. Knight? Damn!
Wow, just like that
Crap
###&^@!!!!**^$($
Wow Bob, better get a grip
We’re not tackling again…
Coach Merv on the radio: “That’s a bummer isn’t it?”
TACKLE! TACKLE! TACKLE!
Where are the LBS?
Watch onside kick
I hope Jordan has an extra jock strap.
Yeah…the one he was wearing flash-burned on that one.
I’m having Cotton Bowl flashbacks.
Think Ross can run one back, just for old times sake?
No.
well ok then
Would be a perfect time for one.
Watch the on sides kick right now.
Well this mayfield and faith in him thing stretches a long way. Defense all of a sudden can’t tackle without mayfield.
Tk can throw they need to mix things up here…
Sometimes he can throw other times he can’t….Right now it looks like the Oline is there when we pass. He’s gonna have a rough night…..
Well this game has a whole different feel to it now with Baker and Samaje out. ? It’s like the heart of the team is broken with Baker out.
A lot of people wanted TK in Spring. I didn’t but I know he can get us some scores. Need the ol to block.
Baker should still be doing some Rah Rah stuff on the sidelines right now
He’s very upset he can’t be in
yeah, we know that but he needs to stay engaged
Granted, we’ve been giving up early points each half and then clamping down. So we’ll shut them out the rest of the way, right?
Never been an LR critic but let Trevor run the exact same game plan as baker. He’s more than capable.
Zone read.
Can’t beat bad luck…..stand strong….
Spreading them out with 4wr then running to our advantage, got it. But that does take away some checkdowns for a guy like TK
I’m just curious, why do a concussion test at halftime vs on the spot?
Gut check time….. I think this team has the character and heart to get it done.
There are momentum swings in every game against a good team. This team is good enough to get it back.
Exactly! OU Gotta Believe!
Forget the CFP bullsh!t and go out and play some ball Sooners. Punch the frogs in the mouth and get back the momentum.
Shep, FIRST DOWN!!!
Knight’s got some escapability too.
SHEP!
Hell yeah!
Mixon, FIRST DOWN!!!
Mixon’s ankle took a pop
Knight to Shep is a known quantity that has done well. Let’s not forget that.
Damn!
:
TCU is hitting at the ankles. It’s like they are diving right at them.
yep, that’s what I was seeing as well but didn’t want to say it- thought it might just be sour grapes on my part
It sure looks like they are doing that on every tackle.
I think it was the thigh, he’ll be fine
Okay. cursed
Are you freaking kidding me?!?!
Perine back.
All right, Perine!
Perine= tough son B.
Baker as well
I know these have been pretty crazy injuries, and outside of the target it hasn’t been dirty, but it sure seems like everything TCU’s been doing has been injuring our players.
The cold can do that sometimes.
Perine was wide open in the flat. Just sayin’
Wow, missed
well $#!t the bed
SONOFAGUN! Holder was moving ball when Siebert hit it.
Let’s go D!
Freaking EVERYTHING has gone wrong…. Let’s go boys!
Team needs to pull together here.
This is the quarter from hell for OU. Not a good time for it to happen. D needs to win this thing.
PL shoved the o-lineman into the back to knock him out. LOL
Gut check time.
Yup, Sooners gotta bring the pain…NOW
Time to fight.
3 and out!!!
I’ll take it.
Time for a new dip?
Perhaps. We had a bad stretch, but i havent jumped to that conclusion yet.
The Perine TD made me hold off on switching it out.
I switched right before the snap of that play. LOL
That was a clutch decision, Coach!
Not changing yet.
Great coverage there
Maybe we need new cheerleaders. 🙂
Grab a skirt, big boy.
I don’t wear underwear. 🙂
Yikes.
They can store the old ones at my house.
D……
I know this has probably been asked, but has there been any explanation from the coaching staff about why we don’t try to return punts?
We need something…anything…to go right on offense.
That work for ya?
Omg
phantom sack.
atta boy
Self sack
He stepped on the wet spot there.
Knight wow talk about bad luck….
For crying out loud. Take a breath, relax and execute!
ok, everyone change their shirts
Ray doesn’t wear any.
Tattle.
You big nasty.
just don’t turn it over
Man, all of the bad luck happening all at once…get it all out and start doing good things!!
Offense is just ugly right now.
Should have been a freaking flag.
God we need a Sanchez or special teams td
Bad reads. Bad Footwork. Bad throws…. This one is on the D.
Knight could cost OU a title shot
No, #42 for TCU could cost OU a title shot.
Toby on the call re Siebert: “He catches it standing up” 😉
FINALLY! A holding call!
On us.
Big Xii refs suck so bad!
OH FOR CRYING OUT LOUD! Big XII refs strike again.
They are cutting back every time.
A. Thomas pick!!!
INT!!!
Dude keeps throwing that one route. This isn’t xbox
LOL!
These are the same zebras that called defensive holding on Texsa against pokie state. For whatever that is worth.
The worst crew in the Big XII
No arguments from me on that one. Im just glad we got them for this one instead of last week. And hopefully not next week.
I hope not next week!
Thanks, Sawyer.
Im glad Boykin isnt in there
Gut check time now
Sweet!
Man, I love this Sawyer kid with his ducks. At least he gives our DBs a chance to make a play on it.
Way too much time in this game for my fragile nerves- might need to medicate
Trevor, FIRST DOWN!!!
Good job TK9
Read option the rest of the way, let’s eat clock and get the heck out of here
Perine, TD!!!!!
How is that ankle now!!!
Nice Block Shep
BOOMER!
Yes!!!!!!
Perine!
Bad ankle my ASS!!
His ankle is up your what? 🙂
Perine was limping in the end zone.
Yeah, BIG heart in that kid.
OPTIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
STATEMENT by an injured warrior.
Perine…….
BEAST
Beasty…
I LOVE YOU, SAMAJE!
It was the ol Faux ankle injury 72 yard jaunt up the middle play.
Freakin Barry Sanders but bigger!!
Is that his longest run ever? Man, if ever we needed something good to happen. Thank you Perine.
had some long ones vs KU last year
They were in the 60’s. Not sure he has gone over 70 though.
There’s that “something good on offense” we were searching for last possession.
Sprain ankle. He’s a total beast.
and still made a wicked cut…
Forget Fournette, I’ll take Perine all day, every day. BOOMER Frickin’ SOONER!!
So smart by Shep getting in front of the dedender’s shoulder for the block.
Sit down!
Let’s ankle crunch Green!!
Our D line rules
Does anyone else think Siebert hooks a LOT of kicks??
Yes, good call
The fact that a true frosh kicker has had a few curved kicks doesn’t bother me much. He’s been pretty golden and he’s only going to get better.
I don’t mind the curves as long as he makes them
Baker been on the camera lately?
Not that I have seen.
I just saw Baker reaching out for invisible birds flying around his head.
Im not sure what that means.
OK, thought I was the only one that saw that
Nope….we’re on the same page
Great job D!
I smell a fake punt
Gonna be tough since we always play punt safe.
Watch the fake. Patterson is sly like a fox and knows he needs to score.
Thinking about going for it? Can’t fake it because we don’t run down field.
Old Patts burning all his TOs down 17 points…
not good
Bob smelled it too, TCU had to call TO
Surprised their not just going for it. Down 27 on the road, with 4th and 1 near midfield seems like a no brainer.
Baker better be a go next week or we can just deliver the big 12 title up to Stillwater.
??
You mean Waco?
Yeah are they not doing a one true co champion again?
No
Baylor destroying little brother right now.
Same place we started last drive!
I’ll take the same result.
That was Samaje’s longest run. Previous high was 66 last year vs. Kansas.
Perine, FIRST DOWN!!!
They’re beat down let’s keep rolling
Knight’s still gonna have to hit the edges
KNights gonna have to make some PASSES where he isnt staring his receivers down.
And side arming it ala Bernie Kosar.
Mixon needs to suck it up and help Perine.
I think he wants to and they won’t let him. He seemed perturbed earlier.
They took his helmet away.
Our WR sure are having problems getting separation
Brandon Daniels, you watchin how much we run the ball??
Is mead every going to catch the ball
Next year.
Dang, duck over the middle
Perine has 165 yards rushing so far.
Knight is a piece of art
I want to see what Quick can do
I slap at thee, ye old punted ball.
Knight just needs a phantom fumble to complete the landry jones trifecta. Already has phantom sack and phantom batted pass 🙂
And one phantom fan apparently.
shut up
Really! Grow up!
a critique of our players/ team doesn’t make someone a phantom fan.
Are we ever going to get decent WR’s? Shep is graduating.
Just had to bring up that freaking boise st. game. UGH
She changed her mind
I’m gonna play armchair OC for a second. Just run.
Walker is a bad dude.
Man, this is the longest quarter in the history of football. Wow
Sit down!
just please, no swing passes to the flat by Knight
I feel like we’ve been trading 3 and outs for the last hour.
Defense
D shutting down the run anyway
As bad as our passing has been tonight, why not set up a punt return?
I would let Brooks and Ross finish this and give our big boys some rest.
A little Greg Olson flashback for me there.
They are crazy not going for it right now. They’ve been near mid-field with 4th and short two times in a row. Do they think playing field position is going to help them come back from 27 points down on the road?
TCU is down 17. Just sayin’
Whatever. math is hard.
They’re going to force Knight into his trademark telegraphic throws
done
Mayfield has the dazed look of a guy who has a serious concussion and was told he couldn’t play.
He looks like a guy that is disappointed that he isn’t able to play.
He’s gone find a way to protocol for next week, he just will!
Anyone think baker isn’t out for concussion? Wouldn’t they leave him in a darkish room? Not out under the lights
Where’s Cody Thomas?
We gotta complete some passes to keep ’em honest.
another stop…
Playing the second half with our backup may help us with the quacky committee
Bite your tongue. They give 0 breaks to anyone in the Big XII.
Bleeding now
This QB is a better thrower than the freshman. But not as good of a runner.
Nice tackle, Zach.
Zach on the spot.
Such a drop-off from Mayfield to Knight. Mayfield was a gift from heaven for this program.
Knight’s brain has never adapted to the speed of the game, never. He’s got skills, don’t get me wrong- I think he should be used in the QB run game, hitting the corners, a lot more than they allow.
just as I say that…. Shep!
And he stared him down the entire time.
yes, he did
Should have converted to receiver or slot
Basically a season on the sideline doesn’t help. He has some bad habits going through progressions and side-arming everything.
Sit Down!!!
Great play Dom!
We are screwed if Baker is out next weekend!!!!
no we’re not
We’re not? I beg to differ!
And, by the way, Sanchez does tackle when has has 2 arms
Screw this. Let Cody have a shot. We can still lean on Perine but there has to be another QB on the roster that can complete a pass.
Hard to get completions when all your receivers are wearing TCU defenders like another shirt.
Fair statement.
Stopped!
Shep, FIRST DOWN!!!
Maybe this is a blessing. Our backups need reps just in case for times like these. Trying to be positive. And this 3rd quarter has gone on for 2 days
We need Baker back. BADLY!!!!!!
Man, I’m going to miss Shep.
Anybody know about concussions? Do they ever play the next week?
Almost never.
Sorry dude. Down vote for this.
I would imagine it depends on the severity, but it’s unlikely.
I don’t have medical knowledge about such things, but i know if there is a way, Baker will find it.
I stayed in a Motel 6 last night!?
Four fingers in the air!!!
I thought that was you.
The 4 handed guy in the front row.
4th quarter…
Baker could have played good call by staff not to
Are you sure? Source?
Guessing
Hoping?
how long did the 3rd quarter last?
7 days and 7 nights.
I was going to say 40 days…
I cant judge in actually time but I know for sure it lasted 2 beers and a shot of Stoli.
Time check. 0600 am here
gut check time here
And texsa still sucks.
2200 and Texsa still sucks.
I’m surprised TCU’s not in goal line defense every down
BC down 3.
Less than a minute to go in that one.
And yet ND will not go down in the rankings like TCU did after beating Kansas. SMH
And BC doesn’t even have a QB worth a hoot.
Won’t win but made it look bad on ND. They did their job.
Score td here its over…freaking ospoop gonna lose
All this and we’ve still scored 30(+)
Big Joe back in action!
Knight keep it.
Knight, pretend like this is Alabama
TCU could never be obnoxious enough to make the illusion real enough.
Knight is not a starter. That was horrible.
TK is going to need a solid week of practicing with the ones thats for sure.
Mayfield’s playing.
Why? Baker will be back next week.
Hope you guys are right.
If Baker had a serious concussion he would have not even come out to the field, but stayed in the lockerroom and gotten into street clothes.
Why is every knight pass thrown so hard geeeez
First time I have ever seen Perine shake his head as he walked off the field… Knight has to learn how to take a little mustard off of some of those passes
No kidding. That was a fastball when it needed just a bit of touch.
It’s as much his accuracy as it is his velocity. I’ve seen him throw passes that Randy Moss in his prime couldn’t have caught.
Weird one shooting out of his hand. one hpped one out there to the edge. misses wide open back on a wheel route to back up and throw it to a covered receiver 7 yards behind the LOS and the the infamous 8000mph fastball on a freaking lob pass to Perine.
We’ve had over 500 yards of offense so far somehow….
Shep and Perine.
And Mixon. He had 90 before going out. Let’s get him over 100.
True. Just Shep and Perine’s have been big bites. Joe’s have been smaller nibbles. But very helpful in the big picture.
Averaging 9 ypc.
316 rushing yards.
Good series. Now there back deep and not us.
True in the big picture.
LR was caught with a quick foul word before TK got back to the sideline.
I was caught with more.
Stick a fork in OSU they are done
Toast!
x-Posed
Not as badly as the SEC though.
Baylor just score?
yep
Yes
OSU will move down 16 spots and Baylor will move down only 2 ( punished for playing a bad team )
I’m sure Mayfield being out is precautionary
I have to think if he’s concussed he would be in the trainers room or some dark room.
And the fact he played the rest of the half
There you go!
Likely protecting him just to be safe.
He looks loopy. My son has a concussion last season and he was similarly out of it. He took 2 wks to get back. I know a lot of pros take a week so that should be a fair timeframe.
I guess we will see if stoops gives any indication in the post game. But we were worried my son had a concussion last year but his doctor said one thing to look for is if they react immediately to the pain and mayfield did.
Blacking out is the most obvious sign of a concussion
I would think since they let him finish the first half it wasn’t too bad, hopefully just precautionary. He still looked good in there at the end of the 1st
Good D
This game is starting to look like one of those hospital ER TV series.
The offense just plays harder for Baker.
If Boykin/Docston had played and this had happened to us… whew!
This game gonna end at 5am at this pace
And I would stay awake and watch every last second of it!
What does Blackledge want?
A real NFL career.
Soooo close to a safety!
If he hits him lower, he gets it.
Oh man, he had him dead to rights. Darn it!
Had the facemask too. Glad nobody saw that!
I saw it.
Me too.
Glad none of the zebras saw it.
They couldn’t find their own butt with a road map and a search committee, how would they SEE that? LOL
Remember these are Big 12 refs…not a stretch to imagine they miss one or two.
Per play
Something about blinders during instruction periods. I dont know.
In this case, instruction period is optional.
got away w/ a facemask there
We got away with a mask there.
How does Dom end up there
The same way Striker ended up on the other side earlier in the game.
ask MS.
The enemy gets a vote.
Wow, OU’s best non-turnover starting field position. Let’s get this into the endzone….please.
Why not see Thomas this series
I think knight gets a td this drive
Holy Mackeral, I hope so. Need a TD or two to close this one out.
I dont
Not throwing the way he is. Better run for it.
I doubt anyone noticed but we actually out scored TCU by 7-6 in the 3rd Quarter.
Pukes scored 45-38 on side coming up.
45-35
Hmmmm, where was that going?
Just run the ball.
Knight…
Now that was a gawd awful throw. Why throw on first down.
exactly
This is why I no longer pay attention to recruiting: Mayfield had few scholarship offers while Knight was a 4-star player.
Knowing what we know now about the two, one would be offered and one would not.
Let’s do more handing off
Somebody gif that look LR had on his face after last TK throw
Knight has a case of the yips
He’s just being himself.
has always had…
Tom Watson
Where is Brooks?
On the bench.
Oh look, it’s last years offense!
Post of the Knight!
Glad we have THIS years defense.
Absolutely! They are the real deal
Trevor Knight ……. wow
that looked like it was a designed run by Knight. The problem is that when he can’t complete a pass, no one buys it.
Man, how far does OSU fall now…
below Baylor who moves up how far?
To 7 or 8 I would think. They will jump UF but not MSU.
If they fall below FU, there’s no hope for the Big XII
They made it look like a game late, 14ish.
Just low enough to be no help for our case.
Lets just say if we beat them next week then both OSU AND TCU will fall out of the quality win catagory.
Run the ball or put Cody in. Geez!!!
Shep, FIRST DOWN!!!
Man, glad to see you are still at it Bleed. You are a trooper.
Knight is not really making a good case for himself as being the next guy up…
The HS kid we got coming in next year must sure be happy though.
Man we gonna miss shep
8 rushing yards for Okie State tonight. Wow.
Is that possible?
TK should keep
I sure hope Shep wins the Biletnikoff.
ND wins by 3 against BC, a 3 win team, A 3 WIN TEAM- how far do they fall?
Up to 3?
They don’t fall. They gutted it out. I’m sure Florida will take one of the OSU’s spot.
They will move. haha.
Up.
I would trade our #2 and #3 quarterback for Baylor’s #3. And also throw in Mead.
Like Knight with a clipboard in hand opposed to pigskin
I like Trevor but he sucks!!! Really sorry!!! About saying that because he’s a great kid!!
I hate to sound critical but how does TK make the wrong read every single time?
Just run the read option.
WTF was that?!
OTS clear how Baker bat out Trevor. Wow
Wow youre even drunker than I am!
Typical BS. Now what? Come on TK. This is ridiculous. Throw it away.
Terrible fake there.
what a DA decision by Knight to throw that ball…
Wth
Knight makes terrible decisions
So did the person who offered him a scholarship. Heuple?
Just keep looking at Shep…
Longest telegraphed screen ever
and threw it to him anyway, even though he had nowhere to go, nowhere
Why? Why??????
TCU figured out he was throwing to right side somehow, they’re stealing plays!!!
Has there been a Tom Brady or Bill Belichick sighting?
just looked at my calendar, it says it’s 2014???
good one
Why is that Delorean parked in my driveway
Dang, just like that!
That sucks. Gonna happen I guess. Just run the clock!
Omfg.
I think Trevor is a great kid, dont get me wrong. We are a 8 win team without Mayfield.
And that’s with a lot of luck too.
Will johnson had been so lock down
A. Thomas overran the play
Dude, go for the tackle, not the ball. UGH
Are you freaking kidding me?!?!?!?
Glad I stocked heavy on the beer.
I did too. Sent the woman out for a re-fill.
Put Cody Thomas in ???”””
Guy goes for the big play, and the safety is out of position.
That is a combination for disaster.
QB had all night because of 3 man rush.
Damnit Bob let the kid kick the damned field goal.
It is 2014!
Do not go w/Knight on this next series
This is getting sick.
I love MS 3 man rush. Thought we had gotten rid of that. Cost us earlier, now here it is again. I don’t get it.
He’s not the guy we thought he was.
I say use the wild cat with mixon. lol
Why are you laughing? DO IT!
You can tell the DL is wearing down. There was no pressure on that play.
Please take Knight out.
For who?
Pick some guy out of the crowd.
Cody. Mixon. Perine. The water boy.
I don’t know how a QB could look worse than Knoght.
Usually when you play Not to lose, you lose. Come on boys!!!
Good point.
I can’t stop pinching myself
I hate this game. Now I’m gonna be a nervous wreck all week.
Forget about the playoff and just finish off this game Sooners. Give it to Perine and Get Out of the Way! Dang it!
I’d like to see CT get a shot. Maybe even make a completion.
We have a chance to go to the playoffs! Let’s go.
Knight didn’t give up an 86 yard td so quit whining. If Thomas was better then he would be playing.
It’s easy to see that Mayfield has saved Stoops career at OU.
OK, JH was handcuffed, I see it now.
Okay bring in Cody T.
Have to bring in Cody
For the love of all things Crimson and Cream… WAKE UP! TK looks HORRIBLE, the o-line is not doing jack crap. Get it together.
Wake up!
If TK accidentally punts the ball here, I would not be surprised
Crap, int
Damn.
PI?
Should have been
Time for Cody Thomas
TK sucks. Run the freaking ball.
Wow. Deja vu
Who was it saying TK would be fine?
that was me. I’ll own it.
Come on Damnit
Hmm losing a Heisman and two title shot in one game fkkkk
not losing the latter yet
Get him out of the game.
C’mon D!!!
It’s like giving the opposing team another defender with Knight on the field!
I’ll take Baker with a concussion over Knight!!!!
I can live with an occasional INT if ALL your other plays are good.
Offensive holding and they only call it on OU. TCU line was mugging our D-line
Knight is just hard wired to do the opposite of good
he has ADD IMO, game will never slow down enough for him to be effective consistently.
How Knight managed to play well against Alabama will still be a mystery.
One game wonder
Bench TK. I’ve had enough.
Put Baker back in!
???
Put Thomas in. Knight is not ready for this
Nice stop Jordan E!
FG and an onside (squib) kick?
BLOCK IT!
We need to drive down and score.
That dam missed field goal
more so the INT for me
Can Cody Thomas really be that bad??””
Time for knight to play like a captain
Remember weeks ago when we thought this would be a tight game………
How can you have both the best QB in America and the worst QB in America on the same team????
Cody time
Field goal would help
Need TD to hold on at this rate.
DO NOT THROW THE BALL ON 3RD DOWN!
Curse of Trevor Knight
Our line needs to suck it up and create seams
Dang, slip and fell
He was cutting on that bad ankle. DANG IT
Gotta block…
We need the D to be special here
Pic-6 special
Its all on the D here cuz the O sure wont win it.
Absolutely ZERO threat from TK…
What eats me up is that these announcers are all of a sudden all over the heart of the TCU defense while all but ignoring the change at quarterback at OU.
That wasn’t knights fault. But damn it’s miserable how bad our team has been without mayfield.
Next man up. TK has to play like he belongs back there. He hasnt.
Knight is terrible tonight
Well, comes down to the defense on this drive. Stop ’em and that should be it.
they might throw it deep here
I cannot stand ABC’s c-team announcers.
These guys called the Sugar Bowl. Their perspective may be skewed.
TCU with just one time out left, just gotta get a stop and a first down.
Need a Pick or a fumble recovery
Please.
Pretty Please
Well, that sucks.
Can’t believe this game has gotten to this point. Sad.
I wish we could call some plays that TK9 is good at.
That would be victory formation with him taking a knee.
Why not run that play that Andrews got that TD on from him a few games ago?
we were. Then they took Baker out.
Bob probably called time out and said get out of that dang 3 man front.
We’ve played that all year. They won’t change it now.
If this goes to OT we have no chance.
incorrect
Why are we only rushing three?
Why are we in this stupid prevent D?
He is cutting back all night. Don’t over run.
Offenses struggle when Knight is on the field. Put him in on defense!
3rd and EIGHT!!!
the tough thing now is that they have 4 plays to get 10 yards from here on out
LET’S GO D!
Two more stops right here. NO FIRST DOWN! Come on D
I guess the Ref didnt see that hold
No kidding. D-lineman tried to turn and couldn’t.
CALL THE FREAKING HOLDING! My God their o-line is grabbing and holding all night long.
Bowlsby’s revenge for Boren not being wallflower, maybe? We haven’t gotten many calls all year.
ARRRGHH
Might catch a break on this review here
With Big XII officials? Doubtful
Ball was behind the line.
???????
Watching TCU get 15 minutes of solid offense without any response by OU has been awful.
And I thought the 3rd Q was the Quarter from hell.
Refs with blinders all day long
Come on damnit!!!!!!!!! Let’s go
Come on defense. If they score, they are going for 2.
And the OU offense is not good with TK in there. Sad, but true. D has to make the plays NOW
I’m worried about this as well, but TCU has all the momentum and can win in overtime if they tie it up. No need to take the risk now.
What happened to blitzing and being aggressive on D?
Scared.
It’s hard to be aggressive when you can’t trust the offense to do anything if you give up something big.
TBF, they’ve been torched on the cutback, so they probably are afraid of overrunning a blitz
They’ve been out there the entire 2nd half.
D is back to 2014 too
Final TO for TCU… nail biter but I still think we win this.
LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Dig down deep defense! 2 plays for the win!
Crap, TD and going for the win
I cannot even believe that!
well f
OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
🙁
Ho. Lee. Crap.
What is A thomas doing?
NICE
WHEWWWW
WE WIN
not yet- they have to kick off first
Yeah baby
be still my heart. Thank goodness.
YESSSSSSS
Gotta recover the onside kick
Holy poop! we have to cover the onside. This isn’t over.
THANK YOU STEVIE!!!!!!
Holy crap!!!
We deserve to lose, but we got lucky!
COVER THAT ONSIDE
Whew…
Why am I not happy
join the club
another freaking penalty
Oh, thank god…
31?
youthful exuberance bites us in the ass again
Killing us.
No, Sanchez covered the ball.
ultimately yes but discipline is lacking, consistently
Wow – Patterson would likely have won the game had he taken it to OT.
prob so, must have had to poop
Okay, now the onside is going to be a lot closer to field goal range if TCU recovers…
That does it.
Embarrassing WIN
Thank God
I have not been this nervous all night since the Boise State game.
Wow! Even with no qb in the 2nd half we got lucky.
Thank god Patterson went for 2. Took guts but Jesus they would have won in OT
Was eerily similar to OSU game last yr, lucky ending was diff
It’s our year.
Bob will need Laxatives for weeks
he has mucous?
refresh, he fixed it.
holy moly – good golly – Bob will not be a happy man but hey, we hold our own destiny
Better get Cody ready if Baker not ready for next week.
Anyone but Knigh
Valiant comeback effort my boot. Dirty hit on the QB took OU out of the game.
This game took years off my life.
So you’re in your twenties now? LOL.
Hats off to Gary Patterson
Just hoping Knight doesn’t fumble snap.
Poor Trevor, Cody has to move into the backup position.
Just. Win. Baby.
That was the ugliest win OU has had in a long time.
You stole the committees words
Great move by Patterson to change QBs and then horrific move to go for two. We couldn’t move the ball and stoops would never have changed QBs. They had all the momentum and made a terrible decision to go for two
We will lose next week if TK is the starter.
We will lose if Baker is out.
We won’t win another game this season with TK as the QB.
Exactly!
It may have been an ugly win but that was one of the most exciting games in a long time.
I’ll take a season of last weeks instead!
Trevor Knight is ssoooooo BAD!
Every championship season has a game like this. aTm in 2000
No CFP to ding us for it back then.
They can spin this anyway they want. We had control of the game until the last 3 minutes. We lost out starting QB…and led 30-13 in the 4th! We took our foot half on defense…The Irish had 5 turnovers!…We beat the 18th ranked team…Iowa beat purdue! We still had 500 yards and won.
Oh I agree with you 100%, however the $ec and e$pin control the playoff committee and they do NOT like the Big Xii.
It s okay just to say that was a pathetic performance by the offense in the second half. Can’t win a championship, or get in the top four with that type of performance.
This would have been a blowout had baker played.. I think everyone needs to remember why this game was so close. Two words: Trevor knight
Thank goodness! One thing’s for sure- Trevor Knight should NOT be the quarterback of this team anymore. He simply cannot get it done.
third string.
Water boy
You’d trust him to get a bottle of water in our guys hands?
No, but he can fill up the jug and set it on the table.
I need to find a 24 hr pharmacy to fill a nitro prescription.
Their 3rd string QB ran circles around our backup
Pretty sure we would’ve lost if Boykin was playing. You could see LR’s frustration all second half, especially considering how ineffective we were in the 4th quarter.
Ineffective? We had over 20 yards of offense.
Hahaha my bad.
There’s just no offensive coordinator alive today who could call a good game with Trevor Knight at QB.
That’s all relative, OU could may have scored 30 more points if Mayfield had kept playing
Without question. Now the committee could drop us a couple spots, and we really can’t complain too much.
Good chance we stay outside the top 5.
Cuz ND really beat the crap out of that 3-8 BC team…by 3.
Do we have any other walk on QB’s?
Is it too late for walk ons
Where’s Dalton Wood?
I think we have 2 actually.
Put’em in coach!
I’m going to try and walk on next year.
We can only hope the QB coming in next year will be able to backup Mayfield better than this.
I just pray to God Baker is ok for next week. Ugh.
Thank you Patterson for going for two twice
We all need to pray Mayfield plays next week
Praying!
Wow, tOSU QB bad mouthing the play calling to the press right after the game. Don’t see players do that often.
He also announced he was not coming back for senior season…Must not be getting along with Urban..
I don’t know about the QB, but Elliot, the RB did for sure.
Thought it was Elliot…who cares! Hopefully he won’t be in Norman next September!
LOL!
I’ll take the W.
How ’bout some tots?
Yessir, with a side of tots.
You keep the tots. I’ll have some Knob Creek.
Sounds like alcohol, none for me thanks.
Not LOl, but will take the win.
Never felt this sick after a win!
Wild rides are fun as long as you land safely.
Okay, okay. Can we please stop ALL talk, forever, on how Knight is a good back up qb? Should have went with Thomas towards the end there. All these other teams can have a quality backup, and even 3rd string, and we have freaking Knight.
but….but…. He just SO GOOD IN PRACTICE!
Leader or not, man.. He was absolutely horrid tonight. I just kept waiting for the pick 6…thank god he didnt do that at least. Seriously though, where was CT? He is much better passer than Knight.
He did, sorta- threw a terrible ball that was picked and turned into 6 later.
My apologies to JH, he was indeed handcuffed.
Imagine if Patterson was at a school like OU… That’s scary!
I don’t usually talk negative about our team / coaches, but it’s inexcusable to not have a backup quarterback who can make basic throws, ready to play.
How on earth did he get a scholarship offer????
Ur an idiot
Ohhhhhhhhhhh so you think he’s a serviceable QB then?
I see u and know u. U r a classic”find the issue” troll. Bottomline, we won. Let it play out.
Lol! Don’t tell me what to say on here—-you’re not the moderator.
I just called u for what u have proven to be. No mor or less.
What ticks me off is Baylor takes the conference title if we lose against OSU
Forget qb’s. If Baker can’t play next week just go wildcat the whole game. No, I’m actually serious.
We’ve gone from the best QB in the country to the worst—–and I’m 100% serious too.
Oh crap, ur serious? Best tel the coaches!
Are you a relative of his?
This is gonna sound terrible but hey, I like humor of all kinds- Trevor should trade his uni in for a male cheerleader uni.
Might not be athletic enough. Those guys are pretty damn strong.
Baker better be healthy next week or i will not watch osu rip our hearts out.
I trust OUr Defense against Little Bro…
Pukes only had 8 yards rushing tonight!
Hence the quality of our win
I don’t care how good our defense is, we scored 1 time with Trevor tonight and had 20 yards in the 4th quarter. It wouldn’t matter if we were playing the Colorado School of Mining next week, we would still lose with that kind of offensive performance.
I will watch with a box of Kleenexs
you never know. maybe TK will put out another Alabama performance. we can hope
yeah… Lets not hold our breath…
TK has had enough chances.
Bandwagon..jump off
If the refs had called the pass interference on Perine there is no interception.
Exactly!
Apparently it doesn’t matter, the mob has lit their torches and are after TK.
He did play poorly. But Perine had a hurt ankle and Mixon had a bum hamstring. The o-line did not block very well. The D played great until the fourth quarter, when they were gassed.
You have to admit that performance was weak.
There was much wrong tonight, not just TK. And the toadies were scheming.
That wasn’t his only bad play, though. He had a lot of bad passes that went no where and he never made anything happen. I’m not asking him to be Baker but it’s not a coincidence that the offense looked the way it did when he came into the game. Lots of mistakes were made by everyone but TK could’ve played a heck of a lot better.
Of course he could have, it would have helped if he had his full compliment of weapons. But that INT was not on him. Perine got pushed as he was about to catch it and the refs didn’t call it. It was blatant.
I called it when it happened.
Maybe, but I’m betting if Baker is out there for the second half it’s a whole different game. That says something.
Some on this board were less than cordial when I questioned their impression of TCU. Now I will respond. This TCU team gave us the toughest game of the year. I told you so. Still ecstatic that we came out with the win.
It was 30-13…We lost our starting QB…
They lost a lot more than that and still gave us a game. Not a valid excuse.
Not a valid excuse? We were on the way to steamrolling them before baker left the game
You don’t think this game would have been a dogfight if both teams were relatively healthy? They always play us tough. That is my point.
I will grant you that Boykin in the game makes a big difference. But with Mayfield and Perine healthy, I like our odds very much. We were totally having our way with them until Baker got sidelined.
it would have been a hard fought game, but we would have won by double digits just like we have against every other big 12 opponent that we’ve beat. This team with Baker is just a whole different kind of good. It’s insane how deadly the offense is.
You’re kidding right? They have had weeks to prepare with this guy. Our guy got thrown into the fire at a moments notice. Whether you think so or not, that makes a big difference
We still had the whole defense though… Kinda laid down a little after half.
They were on the field for the entire fourth quarter.
I’m just saying the whole team was flat. Offense and defense. They were playing their third string qb also…
They started the game with their 3rd string QB. The guy who came in later was the second stringer. He just played bad last week against KU.
Why can no one ever understand that? That was most of the problem last year. A defense can only hold up so long when the offense can’t pick up first downs to give them a rest.
Well, Perine was hobbled and so was Mixon. Their DB’s were blanketing our WR’s. It is hard to win a game like that when you have zero RB ability. That is what hurt us the most.
Just shows that Baker is the defensive star too.
Lol yeah, super close game at halftime, even with a guy who saw 6 Sterling Shepard’s at once at QB before they finally checked him out.
Uhhh… no leg to stand on IMO, I seriously doubt you predicted that Baker would leave the game or that we’d lose our RB’s for as many snaps as we did- TCU is sound on D but we became inept after TK took over. Thank God Perine busted that long TD run.
And I seriously doubt you predicted that their starting quarterback, top receiver, and starting center would be out for this game. We should have beat them soundly with those injuries. Our injuries basically evened the score.
So go celebrate on the TCU board.
Seriousl? A fan is not allowed to say that the other team is a tough opponent without you questioning loyalty?
Are you looking for a pat on the back?
not gonna get it
maybe the golden fleece?
Just making a point. Is it that hard for some of you to admit that you might be wrong?
TCU doesn’t even come close if TK doesn’t come in and sabotage us…..to say nothing of special teams mistakes (hello long snap drills).
Steven Dale?
You can look at my posts and see that you are making a ridiculous comparison.
Just messin dude, blowing off steam. Don’t take it personal.
I do wonder how much the morale dropped in the 3rd quarter with losing Mayfield, and Perine/Mixon for a time. Doubt Knight was inspiring very much confidence in his teammates, which probably didn’t help. It didn’t look like the receivers got open a lot, and Knight probably lost a lot of confidence early on which hurt his accuracy more.
TK is terrible or LR cannot judge talent. Get Thomas ready. please!!!
LR chose Mayfield, TK has regressed severely. I’m blaming Katie Perry.
I feel bad for Knight. He was chillin on the sidelines snapchatting Katy Perry and eating a donut when he got the call. But damn, I’ve never seen a QB stare down a wr behind the LOS in triple coverage the way he did tonight. That was embarrassingly frustrating.
I’m betting on OU dropping a couple spots after today… Based on the committee’s recent behavior.
Why should we?
We shouldn’t but we probably will.
Im betting either 5 or 6. TOSU and OSU should both fall below us…not sure what they will do with MSU though
Realistically, we shouldn’t. We probably will because committee.
The only thing is our competitors have actually looked just as bad or worse. For an example of this reference ND’s pitiful 3-point win over BC. Yeah…..it’s that bad.
And FU winning in overtime over Fl. Atlantic
That’s worth a 10 spot jump isn’t it?
And for anyone with connections, especially the TFB mods: Can we get a rush on any and all information concerning Mayfield’s health and/or likelihood of being able to play next week? Please?
As long as he passes tests on Monday or Tuesday, he’ll play…if not, he won’t.
The few times I saw him on camera on the sidelines, he appeared engaged and aware of what was happening on the field, was encouraging the players on the bench- maybe not a lot could be read into that but to me, it’s a good sign
Agreed. I am cautiously optimistic
where can i watch the post game interview
That was mostly the receivers stepping up
Trevor Knight is Brutal! If anybody can snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory it is this guy. He is proof that nice guys finish last. He just does not have it between the ears. Cody Thomas could not possibly be worse than that guy. I can’t believe they stuck with him til the end. He’s Horrible!
The one I still can’t figure is when Trevor pulls the ball from Samaje (who had nothing but green grass in front of him) for a lateral pass to Shep with nowhere to go. What the hell was that?
I’m beginning to think he get’s so incredibly nervous that he literally cannot think. In the Sugar Bowl, no one was expecting him to do anything so he was calm and cool.
He just cannot handle pressure of any kind.
Landry Jones. If the opponent was even close to competitive Landry was less than 50% win percentage.
Knight just about became unwelcome in his own locker room
Just about?
Idiot
Trevor Knight is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Game should have been over long time ago. This dude has held this program back for 2 years
Game was over and he let TCU back in. The fact is that game probably end 44-20 with all our starters healthy.
Can Cody really be that bad????
Did u watch Last year?
Cody on his worst day is better than Knight.
Did YOU watch last year?
Did you just watch the second half of this game?
And saying Thomas, with no first team reps would have done better? What evidence besides ur hatred for knight, says anyone does better?
Good grief, we won and many here are having a effing pity party.
Go sleep it off.
This is exactly why I don’t bother with game threads.
It’s because we want to get in the playoff and this a beauty contest. It’s not enough to just win in this sport.
So crying and throwing fits will get us there?
/s
No one is throwing a fit.
I disagree.
We won. We will win a Conference Title if we win again. Lets let tall that bs be there, and OU can go win.
Were good..ND beat a 3-8 team by 3 today…Stanford is going to beat em…just win baby!
Hey! In other good news… I didnt burn the Chili today…
Good man.
Last time I burned it was the Texsa game… I accept all responsibliity
This
What’s weird is that even the defense started playing like last year once Trevor came in! He should have a little cloud above his head wherever he goes! He’s a chiller. A Jinx. Why do the coaches continue to use him as second team quarterback!?
Because… Bob’s favorite excuse… “But… But… Alabama”
Yup., Its like they knew exactly what was coming when Knight got the gig..
where can i watch the post game interview bob
soonersports.com
TK: 5-16, 76 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT. Just plain ugly.
Knight winning the starting job two years ago demonstrates the depths we were in
No, it just shows the system they wanted to run. He’s just left over from that experiment.
Deep doo doo
Does poor execution make more sense from last year? Maybe. LR was running the same awesome system, but a few key cogs missing and poor QB play is enough to sink the ship. Maybe TK was largely responsible for JH’s firing (for the record, I don’t want him back – LR has been doing awesome).
Lincoln Riley frustrated with Knight. It was clear as day.
I hope so. He was really poor.
What gave it away, the multiple “G’D’s” on tv?
Probably because TK couldnt read a Defense if it was written by Dr. Suess
Knight and Air Raid is like toothpaste and orange juice
Folks what happened in the 2nd half of this game is the exact same thing that was happening to us for 4 quarters against Baylor the last 2 years. TK has shown he just cannot perform consistently, and we almost went down in flames for it. Turning the ball over deep in our territory. 3-and-outs because of terrible mistakes. Etc., etc., etc.
TK didn’t play much against Baylor in 2013 – the poor QB play that year was Blake Bell.
I think this week will determine how good of a QB coach LR is, especially if Mayfield can’t play.
My understanding is that it was a rule by the training staff that when in doubt they are out
he’s been playing college ball for three years now. he’s not going to get any better in the next week no matter who coaches him. we’ve seen his ceiling.
BOOMER!
SOOOONER!!!
SOONER
SOONER
SOONER!!
SOONER! We should be one win away from getting into the playoffs! One game left. Let’s do this…
Be a Stanford fan.
I was hoping to move to #4 or 5 this week. The 4th quarter has me wondering if we get to 6. I thought we had a shot at jumping ND and, honestly, still do considering the difference in competition but the committee never listens to me.
I think 5th…clemson, bama, irish, iowa, OU…they may put sparty 5th but that would be unjust.
Sounds about right but iy should be Clem, Bama, Iowa, OU, MSU, Baylor, ND, OhSt
Wasn’t MSU’s loss on a controversial call or no-call against Nebraska? Their win against Ohio state and their one loss may be “better than OU’s biggest win and one loss.
SOONER!
Good news gents: Next week, ask we have to do is run the ball and we’re good! OK lite had 8 yards total rushing!
Yyyyyyyy…no.
Mayfield will play.
Is that official?
I doubt anything will be official until at least Monday.
Will Mich State jump us? Will Oh state be ranked ahead of us?
Yes. No.
Yes and probably. The committee isn’t find of our league.
Yes. Maybe.
Maybe they’ll have mercy on us
Another perspective is TCU moves up after looking solid and we still have a quality win under our belt.
I like it. Im not so sure the committee will agree, but i like it.
We win next week, we’re Big XII champs!
I’m counting on it.
Really torn on how the recruits at tonight’s game felt about the game.
Wasn’t too smooth but we did get the W.
If I was a QB recruit, I’d be thinking that OU is a place where I’d have a good chance of starting. Mayfield may just declare for the draft and no one else on the roster is any good.
Mayfield is not leaving. We’re just gonna stop that right now.
Right, if anything, the injury almost solidifies him staying
He’s only a sophomore, I know he lost a year but he is going to try and get that back. He won’t leave early, especially with his height.
He’s a JR
Because of the lost year. What I’m saying is that he really is a sophomore, and is going to try and get that year back.
I have no true insight, but I can’t see him leaving. He isn’t a prototypical QB and has only had one true year starting. He seems like a gamer and next year our team is stacked.
Yes. Let’s try to get a little optimism around here. At least we dodged the bullet 🙂
No one predicted that before the season did they? It was all TCU this and Baylor that- well guess what, we just took care of both of them didn’t we? 😉
I also don’t mind admitting I was about to go shopping for voodoo dolls of whoever that toad/turd was that clipped Mayfield. For a while I was seriously thinking that guy just cost us an NC.
If Mayfield’s out for the season, he may still have done just that.
That dude was almost the MVP of the game from the locker room
If Trevor Knight is really the second best QB on this team…yikes. That was, to quote Charles Barkley, “turrible”.
W. Moving on to OSU.
So glad to win today – our D got gashed a few times but really fought hard. It seemed like tons of bad luck went our way, we took it on the chin, and still won. That’s better than we probably would have done in the past few years.
This game was last year’s OSU game. We were rolling going into the 4th quarter, but with a starter out and our RBs banged up, we still held on to win. This was a game we would have lost last year. Yeah, it was ugly, and it wasn’t pretty. But there is absolutely NO complacency left in this team. And we won. In the end, that was all that mattered.
As a plus, every other playoff team minus Bama (Charl Sou, lol) played horrible as well, and against lesser competition. Plus, the “Boykin was out” excuse holds less water when Mayfield was out too.
Everyone, please, relax. We won, and if the committee jobs us, they were going to job us anyway. Just enjoy the win.
PS: Please, please, please, stop the hyperbole w/ TK. Yes, he played horrible. I’m sure no one knows it better than him and LR. Hopefully, we won’t need him in next week. But if we do, I’m glad he got the chance to see where he stands.
It isn’t hyperbole. It’s truth. He was so bad, TCU committed 15 to the run (THAT is hyperbole!). TWENTY yards in the fourth. Twenty. Come on, man.
“The worst QB in the country”
That is certainly hyperbole, not the truth. He was thrown into the fire after being benched all season, and both Perine and Mixon were hurt. He was forced to put the entire team on his shoulders, and he couldn’t do it. Just b/c Baker could doesn’t mean TK sucks b/c he couldn’t.
When did I say that?? Twenty yards, bro.
Not you, but I did see it in the thread, which is what I was calling out in the first place.
Does Perine suck, b/c 20 yds right? Same w/ Shep and Mixon, right? They all played on that terrible 4Q offense, but I seriously doubt you agree. I already admitted TK played terribly, but he really shouldn’t have had to put the whole team on his back like that.
I also hate it when people call out individual players for “sucking.” He’s a fantastic person and player, and I’m proud to call him a Sooner. The insults on here from supposed “fans” is, to be frank, pathetic.
It all falls on the QB. No passing threat = stacked box. TK was the issue. Remember, Perine busted a 72 yard run with Knight in the game. Your argument is invalid.
No argument with your points, but that doesn’t refute anything I said. Nothing that happened that quarter is purely the QB’s fault. The whole thing was a trainwreck, but it is a team sport.
Umm…ok? We’re we watching the same game? I would bench a Jr High QB for that play.
I feel like you need to reread my original post. I was trying to point out some positives, and defend Trevor as a player, but not his performance. You’re arguing against a point I never made (i.e. that TK didn’t play terribly. He did, absolutely, full stop. No argument there.)
I’d throw seibert in there. Letting his knee touch (what else does he have to practice on that would not include practicing fielding bad snaps) and then pushing that not so long filed goal. Orlando Brown might be. A gods lineman but his stupidity will cause OUto lose an opportunity to win some day. His head needs to be forced from his ass.
He is a true freshman.
The kicker? True, but it’s not like he has more than a hand full of situations to work on.
TK sucks dude
Splitting hairs here- do you trust TK to lead this team?
I’d certainly rather have Mayfield, and I wouldn’t have a problem with anyone asking for him back. But I like TK, even with how he played, and I trust Stoops and Riley. I hope TK doesn’t have to start this week, but I certainly believe he’s a capable QB. He just didn’t show it tonight.
Simple answer is “no”, man
I can make my own points, thank you very much.
You do realize that Perine and Mixon were both in with him right?
Agree with some of that, except your misuse of the word hyperbole (at least with respect to nearly all of the posts I’ve read). I think if we would’ve won convincingly, we would’ve received fair treatment by the committee. With the way we played, I could see the committee putting both Mich state and Ohio state ahead of us, and reasoning that they have better losses.
“Worst QB in the country.” -I think I used hyperbole correctly.
Mich state has just as bad, if not worse, loss than we do: to a terrible NU team (non rivalry game). We’re coming off of a win against a top 20 team and a top 10 team the week before.
Plus,, the committee apparently likes tough, gritty games. This definitely counts.
(I could very well see the committee screw us, though.)
No, I assure you, you didn’t. All you’ve done on your double-down is cherry pick one statement out of hundreds to justify your generalization of the many other posts. It was an awful performance by any measure, unfortunately. im just as much a fan as any of the “full house” fans on here, but I’m also comfortable venting frustration with the QB play and the coaching.
What, that’s cherry picking now?
A: I didn’t state that was a common view, just that I’d seen it.
B: There were sentiments of agreement beneath it, which were generally repeated by the same posters throughout this thread.
C: I never disagreed that he played terrible. Quit doubling down on a strawman, and try addressing my points, ok? You said you mostly agreed with me, so why the hangup over one word in my entire post?
Agreed. The kid is trying hard, and he has been a great teammate. But lawd that was bad.
I think Mich beats OhSt next week and I don’t see Iowa beating whoever wins the other division so we are still ok. Plus, Stanford is looking better than ND right now.
Dunno. An 11-1 MSU team that just beat an undefeated Iowa might get the nod, particularly if we aren’t convincing next week.
That’s still only 25% of available slots. Not worried about the B1G honestly because their champ will eliminate their 2nd contender.
Had to be convincing two weeks in a row. If Baker can’t go next week, it doesn’t much matter.
tOSU is out. That much is clear at this point. So if another B10 team takes their place it doesn’t effect us that much. I feel pretty confident right now that ND is going to lose next week. No matter who it is, if Baker’s ok and we win, there’s at least a decent chance someone is going to open up a spot for us.
I’m sure yiu or others saw this but near the end of the game Mayfield and the team doctors we laughing it up. I think they thought the game was in the bag and since he probably had a headache after the hit they just erred on the side of caution. Unless Mayfield has headaches this week I would suspect he will be good to go.
Yeah I noticed this. I think that’s exactly what happened. I think baker looked so dejected the entire half because he was thinking “they won’t let me go back in this game, and Trevor is gonna go out there and flush everything we’ve worked for down the drain.” Once we had the game in the bag he showed some life.
When the camera got a shot of BAker just before the second half it looked like he had been crying. Guy probably passed 98% of their concussion assessments and was frustrated they didn’t take his word for it that he was good to go. Then again most people don’t know how bad they are when their bell got rung.
Can we revisit for a second the fact that we had TK last year, no Sterling for 1/2 the year, no Mixon, no Perine for 1/2 of Bedlam, and still were somehow #10 in scoring offense in country prior to bowl? Yes, last year was a massive disappointment, but have to keep it in perspective.
We had probably the best O line in college football last year. If TK is quarterback this year we are sitting at 4 maybe 5 wins tops
If we’re lucky. Tonight was an putrid.
Hell, maybe its time we give ole JH some damn credit..
Everybody feel better, I do, thanks for letting me vent every negative thought imaginable
I wonder how many reps Knight gets during the week. If a lot of LR’s offense is based on timing and reps, it might be harder to come off the bench cold and execute it perfectly.
Kolhausen did alright. Dude for baylor did alright..both stidham, and the other dude tonight. We seem like the only team in the nation (exaggerating) without a quality backup qb..
You are correct. Everyone else finds a #2 that does fine against OU
And this may be seen as a GLARING weakness in our offense … to the voters, that is.
But I doubt that Boykin took all of the snaps in practice, and Stidham and the two TCU backups struggled off the bench.
And still gained more yards than a Knight-led OU
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to make excuses for Knight – it’s pretty obvious that he did terrible. I’m just also guessing that there’s also other factors that may have played into the poor performance. That’s why, if Mayfield isn’t cleared to play, I’m curious to see how LR game plans to TK’s strengths and what he can do with TK with a week of reps.
If Baker doesn’t play, I’m thinking Riley goes with Thomas.
Real hard not to after tonight
Thank u, a few words of wisdom here. Sooner nation, please adhere.
Yoda?
Yes?
Samaje’s ankle sprain is not a high sprain. – Stoops presser
That is a positive!
I would imagine Mixon sprained his foot. Haven’t heard yet.
What channel is the pressed on
I don’t think its televised. I have a good twitter feed.
I’m still in Europe, and just woke up to see the score. What happened???
Starting QB didn’t play in the second half and backup was awful.
But we won 30-29
but it was much closer than the score indicates 😉
Well, Baker should come back with a little fire in his belly after not getting to play the second half, assuming he does play next which I think he will.
I won’t jump on the Knight hating train yet, but, he was less than impressive but. I will say this I think TK wants to be good he wants to be a winner, but, he tries too hard and because he does he gets rattled too much and makes bad plays. Mayfield lets things happen and goes with the flow but clearly TK doesn’t know how to do that. The D played well consider how much they where on the field and some of the positions they had to play from. This we know we are 10-1 and not 9-2 we are blessed to have a gamer in Baker, have some stud RB’s and an amazing WR in Shep and some big boys that seem to be playing with an edge and a D that seems to have a mean streak and a young Kicker who could be the best int he country by next year! Plus a pretty damn good coaching staff, plus we live in AMERICA, get the rest and heal up and bring on the Pokes, goodnight all and god bless and BOOMER!!!
SOONER!
We settled for FGs tonight instead of getting three tds. Bone headed holding by Brown on 1st and goal.
Oh no. Is it serious injury to BM?
Concussion. TCU player got ejected for targeting.
It’d be nice if the TCU player’s 2015 season was over. It’s one thing to target receivers and RBs, but when the QB is targeted it seems to carry an added degree of criminal intent … kinda like in the NFL: “The QB is really hurting our chances of winning this game, so let’s take him out!!” I believe QB targeting should carry an additional penalty to it … perp out for 2 games? perp out for next game, cannot practice with team? I don’t know really, but this is the same kind of behavior that Bradford is encountering in the NFL, and it’s only a 15-yard penalty but the QB has to live with the concussion effects for the rest of his life. So, I believe the NCAA should punish ‘extra’ somehow, … just my two cents.
Got concussed.
Possible concussion. Dude was ejected when he hit Baker helmet to helmet. I think it was just a precautionary thing not letting him play the second half.
They said it was precautionary so I think Baker is all right.
so long as he passes all of the concussion testing that lies ahead
Bob said in postgame that Baker said he was having some headaches at halftime, so the doctors decided to pull him.
Said they would watch him over the week!
Looking at this board, I almost forgot we got the W. One more win and we are in! (Yes I actually believe that).
Not gonna happen without baker.
True, but I have faith that he will be fine.
Still not gonna happen.
Oh he’ll be fine for the bowl game for sure. Imagine though that he actually is allowed to play next Saturday … I see OSU coming after him … even trying to hurt him legally to get him out of the game again. If he plays, he won’t be the same Baker cuz he’ll be playing NOT to get re-injured. Then what? I’m not throwing in the towel just yet, but no matter how you slice it, things are not looking good for Bedlam. I’m sure OSU thought they didn’t have to take Baylor as seriously as previously thought (since OU beat them) and they were probably looking ahead to Bedlam. The pukes WILL play a better game against OU.
This
Love this guy.
I would swap Iowa and ND. The Irish looked like garbage against a horrible team. We got a quality win and should leap frog them. See what I did there?
We need to cuff the cowboys before I really get serious about the rankings. See what I did there?
I say it again…B12 QB play next year will be off the charts!
Remember before the OU/Baylor game last week how everyone liked Baylor…. OU wins and they makes excuses, then OSU gets stomped and Baylor played excellent! Good win for OU last week. Take care of business next week and we’re in. BOOMER SOONER!
Yeah, everyone said OSU needed to win today so we could play them undefeated. It seems to me that Baylor’s convincing win makes last week look even better. Not sure it was a bad thing that BU won big.
Exactly! We beat them in their own home.
So BM and Perine were hurt and out?
Perine came back in. Mixon also got hurt but came in later, as well.
No they were banged up and still played.
There was doubt about Shep too. About 2 minutes into the second half, it looked like the world was ending.
Perine came back alright on his second carry from being hurt broke a 72 yard TD run I believe that was the total ;p;
Game-winning TD
If Game Day goes to ND/Stanford…OU may be in for a world of hurt when ND wins.
We have had enough bad things tonight save that for later this week
Sorry man, I’m hyped up and hates ND. Was hoping for someone to bring me back down to earth!
Let’s just say this a 11-1 season and missing the playoffs and having to settle for a NEW YEARS bowl is better than an 8-5 season and getting Dr. Doolittle Bowl
Now I would like nothing more than to be in the playoffs but hey could be worse if we don’t
Worst case, we stomp FU in the Sugar. I’m sure Stoops would really about that for the next 2-3 years…
Actually, not true. I stand corrected, if we were to lose, we’d be in the Alamo here in S.A.
Very much with you. Very proud of my Sooners holding on to win this one and secure a ten win season. Would love to see us in the playoffs, but will be damn proud if we go into Stillwater and get it done regardless of what the committee decides,
Do what we can and hope for the best and if we did all we can then nothing to be mad or sad about!
I’ll let you all have it. Looks like it’s under control. I just pulled in my driveway after leaving Columbus, Ohio two hours ago. Cold and wet at the game. It Was miserable. tOSU looked bad tonight. I’m cold and tired. Going to bed.
BOOMER!!!
I bet that was a miserable game to watch!
I thought JH was calling plays. Double E sounded off in his post game comments
Get warmed up and get some rest; don’t want to get sick. And …
SOONER!
SOOOONER!
This board is live-fire.
Yeah, I’m going to bed.
I’m in bed but this is hard to put down lol
ESPN Danny here.
Wow. I’m kind of glad I didnt see the game.The stress might have put me out.
Wish I hadn’t. First one I’ve seen live all year. Boo.
I smiled for the first time in a few days. Defense gave up some plays. but in the end they done what they needed to do. All it takes is one point.;-)
Baylor rushed for 304 yrds, Okie St. 8. 304 to 8. I don’t feel so bad.
All that matters is that we won and that hopefully Baker is back next week. Baker might have saved Bob’s job this year because knight looked terrible.
Interesting point Billy.
Going to Bedlam on the alumni side…look for a joyous, Crimson and cream-lathered man!
Be sure you wear nothing that has the look or smell of sheep!
Sounds like this was OU’s craziest game of the year. I’ll watch the replay on YouTube and will stay need two aspirrin. Sounds like TK had a tough night?
Skip the second half, my life will never be the same
Oh man. This scares me.
He speaks the truth. Worse than any Rhett Bomar game.
“tough night”- understatement of the day
Abysmal night. I’ll just give you a few highlights: tripped himself for a loss of 4 yards, several throws that slipped out of his hand or something and went straight into the grass, an int(there was interference by the tcu defender though), and overthrowing open receivers. There you go I spared you the agony of watching it.
Welp survived that heart attack. 😀
WHY? Why? WHHYYY were we running the hurry up and throw incomplete passes in the 2nd half????? Run the football…eat clock. You could tell they had ZERO confidence in TK9 so you know we were going to punt anyway so just RUN the damn ball 3 times, run down the play clock and punt!!!!!!!!!!! That was so frustrating. We were snapping the ball with 15 seconds on the play clock and throwing incomplete passes. UGH
THIS ^^ well said we should of ran, ran, ran, and ran some more and than ran some more and did I mention run!
Just when Riley starts to win me over something like this happens.
He had more confidence in TK before the game than he does now that’s for sure.
I’m glad he has seen it with his own eyes now. He better not EVER pull that sh*t again.
I think Perine first and then Mixon getting hurt really threw our second half game plan to the grass
Kinda have that feeling when you wake up from a bad dream and you are trying to figure out if it was real. Weird feeling after a win.
Tonight was proof of Baker being the emotional leader of the team. Everyone seemed outbid sorts after he left the game. She’s was even expressing frustration with TK.
Take the WIN get back to practice with “ONLY ONE” goal next weekend. Win the Big XII and let the rest take care of itself.
BOOMER
Yes.
How much heat does Patterson take for going for 2?
Zero, it was the right call, and he caught us with no t/o’s
I disagree. I think they should have gone to OT. We weren’t able to do anything on offense, and they were humming along.
The question was, will Patterson take any heat going for two, his people probably feel he’s earned the right to make that judgement but just wasn’t successful. I’d argue mathematically it’s better odds because it’s one play. And, no, I’m not Rainman.
I think they would have won in OT to be honest. We had a missed FG and no offensive momentum at the end.
Truth
As bad as we were playing, I would have taken OT if I’m TCU. Great play by the D to stop it though!
Man than reciever was wide open behind Parker. If theTCU lobs that ball instead of straight lining it we may have had a different outcome.
Absolutely true, its a game of inches.
Well they get it he is coach of the year so none cause it’s a gamble I would of taken also!
He’ll take some since it didn’t work out but I think it was the right call and told my daughter “if they score they go for 2 and they’ll win” glad I was only half right.
Man that was really just terrible QB play by Trevor. He was Chuck Knoblauch out there. Love the kid but he has zero confidence right now. No way the qb comp was ever actually close. Gotta win ugly sometimes and let’s just hope Baker is back for Bedlam. If Bob mentions TKs Sugar Bowl performance 3 times this week we know Baker won’t be playing.
That was most definitely NOT TK9 in the Sugar Bowl….but, whoever wore his jersey that night is more than welcome to come back and play for us.
He must have taken his ADD meds that night which slowed the game down for him to make better decisions
Mayfield will play I agree him sitting was the right call to protect him
Man, OUr best defense is our offense. 7 points in the 1st vs 22 in the 2nd.
Wasn’t the D’s fault. All the 3 and outs in the second half had them gassed.
I agree. But the run would have helped out so much in the 4th bc we only had 20 yards on the 4th
It sounds to me like all our good luck for the year went south last night. BM out, Mix and Perine injured. Good grief. Hope they are all back for next Saturday.
Just remember, OU is the only one left in the Big 12 that controls their own destiny to win the Big 12 title! Every other team needs to win out AND have us lose in order to claim the Big 12 crown. BEAT OSU!!!!!!!
EXACTLY!!! THE BOYS CONTROL THEIR OWN FATE!!!
I think a medical release controls our fate.
Still a team game Sir! But mostly yes!
https://twitter.com/ou_football/status/668303575672627200
Riley…you had 3 plays you needed to call. Handoff up the middle. Handoff right. Handoff left.
You forget that early in the 3rd Perine and then Mixon are both out with injuries for dang near a quarter and Perine was heavily taped when he came back
Daniel Brooks is no scrub. I have more faith in DB running than I do TK9 throwing.
Brooks and Ross is a pretty good 3rd and 4th string
And Brooks is capable.
Training staff took Mixon’s helmet from him. We lost our backfield + we had no passing attack.
Riley didn’t call a great 1st half either. This Jekyl and Hide routine of Riley’s needs to end.
Nah. But you’re entitled to your perspective.
Yeah okay.
We’ve had 500+ yards of offense and over 40 points in the past 6 games or something like that… But okay
There is one offense in the history that has put up similar quantities. 2008.
The 2008 offense put up those numbers against much better and much higher ranked teams in much bigger games. The offenses aren’t comparable.
Dude. You should shut her down.
Nah. But you’re entitled to your perspective.
That one got ya. Alright DC. I know what to expect from you going forward.
You don’t know anything about me whatsoever.
Reminds me of something people said about another coordinator.
I don’t know what’s going on with our WRs or what routes they’re running but I continue to see them all run off the screen every snap and make no difference in the game outside of Shepherd. Bob commented on it before halftime. It’s gotten really bad and those guys can’t get open consistently against anybody.
Coach taking heat for his player, nice job linc.
Riley must think running the ball is aggressive then ;-).
Part of not calling a great second half involved asking TK to execute them. He learned something about his depth chart tonight.
I wonder if there will be some competition this week if Baker isn’t cleared. Thomas was suppose to be really close in fall camp…either way I think TK will be a little better with more reps…didnt look like he was in rhythm with the receivers…Mead should have caught a few..looks like they were putting him in there because him and TK get more reps together in practice..Im still at a loss over the lack of Andrews over the middle
Someone is full of **** if they think there was a “competition” at QB this summer. Not even close. OU has Baker and the ball boy.
I think you read my statement wrong..I said Thomas was close..that doesn’t mean he was better than Baker…just means he was close to being efficient at running the offense…the completion I speak of is this week between TK and Thomas…hopefully Baker is good to go and it doesn’t matter..one thing is for sure..we need Mixon and Perine healthy if Baker is out more so
Dude, if TK is, at all, “better” than Thomas…cut him now.
Distance increases with every game played by the starter. Thats why the starter is the starter. Sure, Cardale Jones is awesome, but we got who we got. We won. Without preparation with a new QB.
And TCU got more from their 3rd string guy
With prep.
You sure? I digress, THIRD STRING.
My only guess, based on no inside information, is that Andrews drops balls in practice like he did against Baylor. I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t get playing time otherwise.
I don’t believe that guess. Andrews had a TD streak going into Baylor…one ball was high and hot and the second ball he should have caught…and it was raining..get that boy the ball over the middle matched up with a linebacker..in the rz he’s matched against a db so the percentage goes down imo because they can cover better
Mini Gronk…
What percentage of the time would you say that TK ever looked in rhythm?
NEVER at all like last year Shep made his few throws to him look good!
Mead dropped two that I saw…I think getting more reps through the week will help but hope Baker is good to go no doubt
A blind hog finds an acorn every now and then
My biggest concern with TK is that he tips off the D where he’s going with the ball. Then there’s the touch on the ball thing, and not going through progressions.
in his defense, he hasn’t got much pt this yr, but I did cringe every time he passed
I know it’s tough not getting the game week reps, I just don’t see as much improvement as I would expect in his play.
I still think Perine and Mixon injuries were the biggest killer to our second half offense besides the obvious choice of Baker. Just after Perine goes out Mixon gets hurt…there were a few series when we had neither in there
We were lucky to get out of this one for sure.
did you find yourself thinking pic 6/int when he went back to pass…..lol
More than once.
TK reminds me of Tebow trying to make it in the NFL…Except TK is still trying to make it in college. (Hint: Just dont think he has the tools to play qb..)
CAL isn’t out yet!!! 21-16 now
Maybe put twin brother out there… best ball he’s thrown in 2 years.
We Lost? That sucks.
haha
No, we won but played poorly. With the Texas loss, we are stuck in a beauty contest and wore the wrong dress tonight. I understand a lot of the frustration on here. I also understand the backlash to the backlash. It s okay to vent and pump sunshine; we re all fans
Everyone go to bed take shot or two or some chill pills or both and wake up knowing we are 10-1 and still have a chance and at the end of the night that’s what we wanted. Perhaps we get a BOOM or two or three or four tomorrow and and we get to watch NFL and be off work well most of us I am sure and enjoy!
10-1 is better than I expected at this point….that’s a fact.
Brien in tha house.
All I know is that I want to beat those inbred ass Pokes by half a thousand. If we were to lose to those sheep loving goat ranchers, I will have to retire from being a college football fan (not really). WE HAVE TO WIN! BOOMER FREAKING SOONER!
Yes, thank you.
Our massive recruit list either walked away really impressed, or not. Probably no middle ground tonight.
Well I am sure most walked away hyped a close game like that and that play at the end that sideline was going crazy and those recruits felt that hype and the pride and those cheers ring out, sometimes a close win is more impressive than a blow out
I’ll take a blow out any day.
As a fan yes, but as purist and wanting the best experience a close game
As a recruit it probably shows we were unprepared for Baker getting injured. Unacceptable!!!
Not much cheering in the second half when #9 started throwing those telegraphic passes, tackling himself in the backfield, throwing 102 mph to receivers seven yards away, and making the wrong decision on the zone read. That’s sheer terror disguised as cheering.
Notice I said the end of the game duh!
Sterling being very politically correct in his answers re TK etc.
What did he say? You could tell he was frustrated.
Just that the team was prepared to trust TK coming in to lead them to the win… yes, he sounded less than convincing (to me). He was fine otherwise, said his “wrist” injury was actually a thumb thing where a TCU player ran into it but that he’s fine.
just heard we had 20 yds of o in the 4th
Yup. Horrible…..
And yet, we still won
Survived. Won implies superiority. Survived implies a lot of luck…
Hmmmmm. I thought the definition of winning was out scoring your opponent? Thanks for the education.
But it “isn’t TK’s fault”. Watch and report.
Oh its alot of fault on poor QB play. Lets keep within the range of reporting. He was one major factor, yes.
THE factor, but whatever.
Will Johnson and Ahmad Thomas missing Turpin for the bomb? Orlando Brown penalties? Missed FG? GET IT TOGETHER Chief.
Without negative QB play, those may not happen. I refuse to see this game in any other light. TK was the issue.
Without horrible QB play, we score 40+, the defense doesn’t get worn out, and this is a blowout.
This
Baker’s value to the team is above and beyond anything I could have imagined. And, trevor’s slide into absolute suckage was on display last night for everyone to see. IF Riley insists on using trevor (IF Baker cannot play Saturday) then season over. Might as well put in Cody … methinks he’ll protect the ball better. It’s all about Baker guys and gals. This is not the same OU TEAM with him sitting on the bench.
Just b/c you’re blinding yourself doesn’t mean you’re right.
don’t forget the Seibert knee down…that was big…like a 60 yard penalty
Yep, that was a psuedo-fumble lost.
Dude, let it go. Never said TK didn’t play terribly. Not once.
And once in alll these posts, someone used hyperbole. Your point?
Hey, find a quote of me saying otherwise and I’ll own up, but until you do, calling me out like this is just petty.
Heh
eye-opening
Wow the drop off after Mayfield is…pretty bad….
glaring
That helps Baker’s Heisman campaign, right? Lol
Horrendous. Hopefully Riley’s QB commits will give us better depth we can trust.
there are other aspects to describe the effect trevor has on the team and they are all ‘bad’. Mostly though, it seems the whole team realizes how bad trevor is, and it saps their hope and desire. If Baker can gut out this last game with a win, he’ll deserve the heisman. Just look at how much the team depends on him. Also, anyone who can survive an illegal targeting cheap-shot to the head then lead the team to victory is amazing in my book.
Patterson’s impatience cost him the game. I don’t think we would have
had a chance in overtime tonight. I really like Trevor. But he has
really lost whatever mojo he ever had. Is Thomas that bad?
I think you are right. They had huge momentum.
I’d argue statistically, the odds are in his favor to win with the 2 Pt conversion, it’s one play, they had momentum, and we had no timeouts.
I think he had to poop.
Hahahaha!!! That or he had Katy Perry syndrome.
I guess without BM we are…an sec team?
No, we aren’t overrated.
Really? You think this is a top 10 team with TK9 at QB?
HAHAHA. You’ve iced yourself Chief. This is an anti-thesis now.
I don’t even know what that means, but I’m pretty sure I don’t like it.
LOL!!! Pretty much!
I gotta say: this board would look eerily similar if we would have lost.
TK9, common denominator. #mathstuff
Dont ruin these guys moment..they live for this right here…if we had a blow out they wouldn’t have 2 cents
Check.
I kind of feel like we did.
I see what where you’re coming from.
Regarding TK and Baker: The difference here is between the ears.
Baker is a smart cookie, makes the right reads, looks off receivers and scrambles effectively- he’s not perfect but he’s damned good.
TK has a lot of physical skills but rarely shows that he’s capable of making the right decision(s). Way too frazzled.
Period.
He almost costed us two seasons in a row. All he had to do was not throw an INT in OU territory and of course he does it…again. I have seen enough of his poor decision making for the past 3 seasons. Great guy off the football field…terrible player on the football field.
Can’t disagree with your general statement, but did you really mean to use the word “costed”?
Sure did…it’s 1230am after a few beers. Ain’t 2 concern about my grammar.
Right on the money
One positive thing though. There were plenty of disappointing performances all over the CFB universe, so ours won’t be getting all the attention. ND wins by a FG against BC (joke). tOSU goes down. The pukes lost by double digits at home. And Bama took the week off (more or less). At least we won.
TWO SEC teams went to OT with FCS teams.
Exactly. Gamecocks lost to Citadel for crying out loud. Yeah I don’t think our narrow escape will be all the buzz.
Unfortunately that will be overlooked by the powers that be.
Arky went down too…looks like its Bama and the little dwarfs
But, because we’re on the cusp of the playoff, we’ll be scrutinized.
as should ND (still think Stanford takes care of them)…all we can do is win and let the chips fall
True. We won and it’s time to put this game behind us and take care of business in Stillwater.
We still won…..right?
I’ll verify it in tomorrows paper.
Never trust the media!
hard to trust my eyes after that
Yes but we need baker next week. Trevor knight with all the practice snaps, maybe but I like our chances with mayfield more
We need to finish with the team that got us here, it’s a fact.
Today tOSU lost.
Notre Dame beat a 3-8 BC by only 3
OSU lost
Florida was taken to OT by a 2-9 FAU tean
Utah lost
LSU got blown out
NC was taken to OT by 5-6 Va Tech
Memphhis got blown out by Temple
We won. If we win next week we are Big-12 champions, and may possibly be in the top four in the CFP this week given ND and Fla’s poor performances.
Enjoy the win boys.
Sidenote: Les Miles will be coaching for his retirement plan against AtM next weekend.
My point exactly. A struggle to win may be just what our boys needed anyway
But then Bama did beat “#9” Charleston Southern (snicker) 😉
I thought they were #8..did they keep changing it during the game lol
The voice of reason.
Going to bed. After Baker, OU may as well go all Wildcat. End of story. Better get the D Geared up to only allow 9 points per. Night all.
Agreed. Baker or wildcat. There is no 3rd option at this point.
Probably a valid point, however, to say this team may have more fire next week after struggling like this
I don’t think they struggled. They lost the lion’s share of their playmaker’s all at once and had to dig in and grind.
Semantics
To your point, I don’t think they have lost any fire. Sh*t went south on them after halftime real quick and that is what made the game go the way it did.
Bottom line, they’ll know they have something to prove after this
Definitely will have some fire- playing for a conf championship and a shot at the playoffs- all in their hands.
That second half scared the hell out of me! I knew there was going to be a big drop without Baker but damn, I didn’t think it would be that big. The boys hung in there and got the job done with a major piece of the O out and 2 more visibly hurt and not themselves. OUr boys are still right there in it and got a big favor from tosu today. BOOMER SOONER gentlemen!!!
Scared is an understatement bud. All season I have been at ease thinking if Baker was dinged, we wouldn’t miss a beat. I think it was just too many stars falling in a short time.
I thought that way too Ray but at times Knight looked lost. He had some good runs but bad decisions
After trevor’s performance off the bench, I’ll suspect Riley’s judgement if he does not opt for Cody if Baker cannot play. Knight’s days are numbered, he has no future playing football.
Riley didn’t help our cause by putting Trevor in 3rd and 9. Patterson knew we were going to run on 1st & 2nd. When trevor threw on 1st down, we did better. One state I would like to make – we have played 4 teams this year WITHOUT an offensive holding penalty………………………… BS
I didn’t see much if any of the pukes tonight, but if there running game is really that bad OU should be able to tee off on cowgirls. If OUr boys comes out pissed off and moderately healthy the d can dictate how this game.goes. just hope Baker is OK.
We are healthy on D. If Baker is good to go and Perine, Mixon are able to go, I like our chances. This game scares me even when we are favored big though because the girls always seem to play above their heads or get unbelievable breaks.
Oh I know Ray, this damn game is just like the shootout. Anything can happen. Good thing is OU won’t come in with the same attitude. OU has to come out and step on their throat quick IMO.
Tonight’s gut check, reminded me of OU Tex A&M before TM got the pick in 2000. My emotions got me tonight, I almost stroked out before Parker’s leap.
“It’s the big one!”
Somebody in the media is going to make out that Charleston Southern is “actually a really good team.” You can practically make bank on it.
Of course, they’re ranked #8 🙂
In the FCS lol.
Well, you know, great teams find a way to win … smh.
Perine, Mixon, and Sterling are the body. Mayfield is the heart. We need our heart back to finish this journey for #8.
A couple of very telling Stats:
Penalties TCU 2-19 OU 8-90
And whats worse, not one WR had more than one reception other than Shep who had 8.
Doesnt bode well for our future.
That’s what I said below. Our other WRs (not Shepherd) have been pretty bad all year against everybody. We have a HUGE problem at the position outside of Sterling.
Speaking of penalties – Orlando Brown has a bright future I think, but he’s got to reign in the foolish penalties.
I’ve seen a tweet saying bedlam will be ABC at 7pm.
It’s listed on ESPN already.
With Baker recovering from a concussion, I’d say we’re now the underdog IF he plays. It’ll only take a few (or one) good, legal hit by the OSU defense to put Baker back on the sidelines. Of course, no way we’ll win if the coaches put in Trevor. I”m so angry at tcu right now, i may just go over to their boards and rant until they boot me off any one I can find. If Patterson has the integrity I think he does, I’m hoping that LB of theirs does not play for the rest of the season. Yeah, i want that guy’s head on a stake.
didn’t matter that OSU got beat as it makes baylor look tough too. OSU win or lose doesn’t hurt our status.
I will say it again. TCU makes the 4th team this year that wasn’t called for an offensive holding penalty. That alone blows me away when I saw several tonight especially on a TD. However, we get called for defensive holding on our NT……………………………..
Hell yes they were holding all night
You noticed that too huh? Bama fans are complaining about the same thing happening to them all season.
Hah…the bride and I were watching the game at a sports bar with several TV’s. We couldn’t hear the game, but NUMEROUS times I shouted at the TV, “HOLDING!”. Hell, there was one play where Dimon (I believe) was getting held so bad (TD RUN), when he tried to escape the hold the dude grabbed underneath the backside of his helmet to hold him some more. Freaking blatant.
And 4th team WITHOUT a holding penalty against the DL that we have?!?!?! That in itself is freaking unbelievable. Is Stoops hated by conference refs?
Also add to that that OU got called for a defensive holding penalty on a RUN. Just terrible.
Trevor Knight is horrible!!!!!!!!!
I wish there was a way to upvote this a gazillion times ….
So sad to see how far he’s fallen. If he’s better than our #3 then our QB depth is in bad shape.
I had to change my underwear after that ending!
anyone catch the end of the florida game? they got away with two utterly blatant pass interferences in the end zone to seal an OT victory over a 2 win team.
Home cooking Walter … it was outrageous. Florida should have lost that game, and the announcers continuously saying, “Well great teams find a way to win …. ” just made it all the more nauseating. Gawd, i wish i could go on an expletive-laced rant right now, it was infuriating to watch. Personally, I find the announcers’ talk OFFENSIVE. I think I’ll organize a sit-in at the SEC medial HQ, and force the leadership to resign.
So where will Game Day be Saturday? Ann Arbor? Surely not.
I’m guessing not bedlam thanks to the puke’s sucking it up tonight.
I thought the same, but where else is there? ND/Stanford?
That has to be it. Bedlam is not a nationally sexy game now.
I think Ann Arbor but Bedlam would make sense considering they could both be playing for a spot + a conf championship.
Could be Florida/FSU. TCU/Baylor would draw good attention, but I doubt that one.
Hah! You lose a game in the Big 12 and you drop 20 spots in the rankings. TCU will be lucky to be a top 50 team per ESPiN.
Florida should drop in the ratings after their referee-aided “victory” over a two win FAU team. But they probably won’t.
As a general rule, the Gators are treated similar to Bama. They can beat the Gainesville women’s cosmetology team by an FG, and it will be hailed as an awesome victory once again proving the superiority of the SEC.
ND/Stanford
Have they said?
Joey Galloway may be worse than Lee Corso and Mark May. Blindly beating the SEC drum at all costs and finding reasons to put down OU at every turn.
He clearly didn’t mention the best QB in the country find pay the 2nd half!
Knocks OU for struggling against back up QB while not mentioning they too were playing with back up QB.
we weren’t struggling UNTIL our QB went out. that will never be mentioned though
Vote for Samaje for Capital One Cup on ESPN.
The game is not up yet on YouTube. Anyone know where else it might be accessed?
Look this morning at some point. Watch stonecoldsooner
Thanks, much obliged.
Since I didn’t get to watch the game, I’m dying to know what happened in the second half with OU’s offense. I understand from the comments here that Trevor Knight was less than effetive, but what happened to the run game? Were they stacking the box? Did the O line fall apart? 20 yards in the 4th quarter?
The stacked the box but seemed to be focused on trying to let Knight play Mayfield’s game. Not really fair for Knight, but he didn’t help himself by locking onto receivers the way he did…
Sounds like last year.
Both starting RBs got hurt early in the 3rd. Perine goes out writhing in pain after a hit on the sidelines (left ankle?, i think), and then Mixon falls awkwardly after a run/hit and was mostly ineffective for the rest of the game. Perine came back in and busted a long TD run only to come up limping in the endzone. Trevor’s COMPLETE INABILITY to pass the ball made OU one-dimensional and that is a BIG no-no against a Patterson-led defense. I told my sons while watching the game: “The only way TCU has a chance is if Baker goes out.” That illegal hit on Baker was dirty and intentional … I will always remember TCU for this. There is no excuse for that hit, and a simple ejection does not punish TCU enough for such a cowardly and classless act.
Thanks for the recap, guys. Appreciate it. Man, that’s disappointing to hear about TK, as I thought he could come in when needed this year and do well. Sound slike it was deja vu from last year.
Perine and Mixon got dinged up on consecutive series early in the 3rd. Both returned, but were gimpy. That combined with the fact that it didn’t take TCU long to figure out that Knight was not going to be effective at pretty much anything, the rest became academic. Honestly, I’m surprised we won considering how poorly Knight played. It was hard to watch. I didn’t know whether to put my fist through the tv or to feel really sorry for the guy.
Thank the Lord above we survived a Trevor Knight Game ! ill be so happy when we graduates. Happy for Sterling and his really hot sisters. Looking forward to next weekend Big Week!e safe out there people
OU plays for a championship this weekend. Feels good to be in the spotlight again doesn’t it?
Game balls for Perine, Parker, Sanchez, Baker, Striker,…..the whole team. Man, what a great win.
Trevor had terrible reads on the zone read plays. He looked as if he had no clue how to play qb. Deer in the headlight look is an understatement. Perine saved our bacon big time returning to play injured.
We will be in big trouble if Baker is out next week.
Yep . He kept the ball a couple of times where it looked like Perine had nothing but grass in front of him
Many thanks to Trevor for that night at the Sugar Bowl , but damn that boy has lost it . Seems like all his passes are fastballs and not very accurate either . Throwing sidearm , he just looks awkward. It looked like Cody Thomas was buckled up , we’ll see if Bakers out next week .
Let’s all hope for a healthy team come Saturday.
The hit on Mayfield was as flagrant as I’ve ever seen. A blow to the back of the head like that can injure the brain stem permanently. A penalty and ejection isn’t nearly enough to deter such deliberate, dangerous targeting against a key player. How about making the guilty team play one man short for the rest of the game? Seems more appropriate…. I’m shocked the ESPN announcers didn’t express more concern. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=14189437
And they didn’t even MENTION the targeting that happened to Mixon last week.
Well it appeared they missed the target on samaje last night too. Similar to mixons. I don’t want to say tcu is a dirty team but they took out 3 of our best 5 offensive players.
Dirty is as dirty does…..
They were aiming low on their tackles, too.
I prefer caning at the 50 yard line immediately after the replay confirmation
How about both our ideas?
Kevin Carter of ESPN on College Football Sunday called the hit dirty, malicious and disgusting.
Thanks Brad! I missed that. I was referring to the game announcers at the time….
Last night makes me wonder about our QB depth and development. Baylor’s 3rd string QB was 5/10 for 138 yds and 2 TD/1 INT and blew open the game for Baylor. Our 2nd string QB was 5/16 for 76 yds and 1 INT and nearly blew a 17 point lead. Granted, TCU has a better defense, but how could last year’s #1 guy fall off that much?
We saw just how much Baker means to this entire team, especially if there’s no one backing him up
This has been a huge concern of mine for a long time. It is further justification for replacing Josh. We are very lucky to have Baker Mayfield who didn’t get an offer from OU out of high school.
Yep, A gift from the football gods, and all because he’s 5’11 (5’10 1/2) and not 6’2.
Gotta hand it to TCU. Those kids didn’t quit. Of course our play at QB in the 2nd half, almost handed them the game. Not sure TCU would have closed the gap if Baker had returned. We will definitely need him next week in Stillwater.
It wasn’t all on knight but for a guy who has all the tools and has the necessary leadership qualities, it’s amazing that he doesn’t inspire others.
If they decide Monday that mayfield can’t go then I know everyone will count us out but I’m sure all the reps in practice will help knight. A healthy Perine and mixon will help too.
Gary Patterson is a HELLUVA football coach. His kids NEVER quit. They always believe. Gotta hand it to them.
He was a HELLUVA an idiot going for 2, but I appreciate it.
Because of the reduced number of plays and the supposedly easier reads in LR’s offense compared to Heupel’s, I kind of assumed TK would have better success in this system. I gather from this thread that such was not the case last night. If BM can’t play Saturday, can Switzer come in and install the ‘Bone in a week?
You think Shep is ready to run the ‘Bone?
Bring it. Mix, Perine and Shep or Brooks. Fun ‘n’ run.
One thing is plain to see. Baker Mayfield has saved Stoops career at OU. Without him, the team would be around 6-5.
https://media.giphy.com/media/oxLpLI0eNf3Wg/giphy.gif
The second half should be a great reminder of the importance of first downs, and that’s all Knight needed to manage being handed a 17 point lead. Surely Riley understands better today the pitfalls of a throwing Knight.
Having Baker on the bench was a powerful reminder that last year’s record was more the consequence of poor quarterback play than of any other problem. I’m optimistic that Lincoln Riley will correct this problem but it will take time to develop two or three good backup quarterbacks who can step up and play as well as the backup quarterbacks we have faced lately. The current situation is especially disconcerting given OU’s Heisman success at quarterback in recent years. We should be “Quarterback University” but we aren’t. Why? How could Coach Stoops let this situation get so out of hand?
It’s painful to say cause he’s such a good person off the field but Trevor Knight lost the KSU and TCU games for us in 2014. And to think that he was so highly rated coming outta HS while Mayfield had to walk-on not once but twice to get a shot at this level.
Trevor is a wonderful person and had a performance for the ages in the Sugar Bowl. But we are doing him no favors putting him in a position where he can’t perform. He’s a great athlete. We should find another position for him, perhaps as a receiver or defensive back.
I think his Sugar Bowl performance says more about these so-called, “once-in-a-lifetime performances” than we realize. Anybody can get hot and look like a superstar when they’ve nothing to lose and no one is expecting them to do much of anything against the opponent. See 2007 Boise state, 2008 Utah against Alabama, TK against Bama in the Sugar Bowl in 2014 and Appalachian State against Michigan.
You may be right. I just see no reason to prolong the Trevor Knight tragedy for his sake as much as for the team.
OUr receivers that game were balling out. Bester, Shep, and Saunders were some of the best route runners we’ve had. QB play has just been atrocious since Landry. Atrocious. Also when we look back on LaColton Bester, that kid was a baller.
Something I just now remembered….what about early in the game, when Baker was stopped, whistles blew, and he still gets power slammed to the ground! Yet, NO FLAG! Same play we got flagged for last week…like 10 times.
Ok…lets get to the real question. How far do we drop in the “committees” ranking?
I actually think we move up. OSU lost, Florida SHOULD have lost, Notre Dame looked worse than we did by far.
BOTH OSU’s lost!
To backup and third string QBs.
@ home
Are you serious? Why do you care? Win next week and OU is Big XII champs!
Don’t really care about “Big 12 Champs”. I want to be in the playoffs.
OU still needs to win next week.
OU will be okay. Don’t worry. When they win they will be in.
Now, what are you plans for Thanksgiving? Going anywhere? Family coming to your place? What time is dinner? What time should I be there?
LOL!
Enjoy the win and let the chips fall where they may.
We will be at the wife’s family’s place in Shawnee. PLEASE come! They are ALL HUGE OSU backers and we are the ONLY Sooners. I’ll get you the address! : )
Give’m hell without causing a big ruckus at the holidays. You know it almost always happens.
They always have a sign….”Welcome OSU fans! …and Cory” LOL
Little brother always knows who’s the big brother.
One thing leads to another.
We had one of the better wins of the weekend.
I dunno. Bama really impressed me with its win over Charleston Southern Cooking.
Could you imagine if WE were playing a FCS opponent this week?
No kidding. espn is acting like the bama game didn’t even happen.
I think we stay put. My guess…
Clemson
Bama
ND
Iowa
Sparty
Ohio State
OU
Maybe we move ahead of tOSU but not sure
I doubt they will put three Big 10 teams ahead of us. I think we will be 4 or 5. Should jump both OSUs and perhaps Notre Dame.
I hope not but I have stopped expecting this committee to do the logical or right thing.
True. But I think they will feel exposed if they are too blatant at denying OU a 4 or 5 ranking.
I can hear them now
“ND had a hard fought game against a great defensive team in BC, just a gutsy win… OU luckily scraped by an injury depleted TCU playing 3rd team QB”
I read somewhere that 4 of the committee members are tied to the B1G and 3 of the others are tied to Sec. Nothing would surprise me.
Are you still drunk?
Lol it helps to be drunk when trying to predict this committee
Unfortunately, he’s probably close. : (
Josh, is this what you think or are you ranking OU by what you believe others think? To me, OU is one of the top 4 teams in the country. In my opinion, they have been for weeks.
This is my guess at the committee rankings. OU led by Baker is 3 in my book behind Clemson and Bama and I think we can beat both of them.
Cool! OU will be in. We get in, mark down number 8. The recruits will have to change their hash tags to #9isFine
We should be fifth.
Clemson
Bama
ND
Iowa
OU
MSU
Baylor
OSU
Something like that, but those top 5 should be dead on.
That’s pretty much how I see it.
But ND was NOT impressive yesterday. Slight chance OU jumps them.
I doubt it. Committee acted like ND was firmly ahead of those teams behind them. And BC, as bad as they are, had the #1 defense by some bad measurement. I’m sure they will move up to third, for now.
Big 10 Champ gets in. Clemson in. Bama in. Looking like us vs ND. Start the propaganda machine! Notre Dame just needs to get beat.
Why do people keep saying the Big 10 champ gets in? If they aren’t undefeated (Iowa), there is no guarantee. I don’t think a 1 loss Iowa or Ohio State gets in over OU. MSU I’m less sure of, but OU should be in over them.
Because the “committee” LOVES the Big 10 and SEC. Have you been in a coma? 1-loss Big 10/SEC school gets in over 1-loss Big 12 school. Period.
lol, period. I guarantee it’s far from a done deal.
It could get very sticky in the Big 10 if Iowa is upset by Nebraska (which is very possible) and then beats Sparty in the champ game.
Exactly. A couple of scenarios like that where I don’t see the Big 10 getting a Playoff bid.
What they do with Sparty will be interesting. They beat tOSU with a back up which you know the committee will drool over and they will say they lost on a crazy play to a tough Nebraska team on the road. I have zero faith these people will do the fair thing at all.
Ohio State is a dumpster fire and I LOVE IT!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!
I think we crack the top 4, but beating Baylor, TCU and then OSU is its own reward. So is winning the Big 12. Going to the tourney would be great, too.
With Alabama’s weak scheduling Henry doesn’t move up. Fournette didn’t do much in a loss. So unless they are going to give Sterling a shot, Baker is still atop the Heisman race if he is good to go Saturday. I hope Sterling gets the Biletnikoff, if you pay attention to that awesome Baker Heisman highlight it looks eerily similar to a Sterling Sherpard highlight reel.
Shep is a gridiron god. One of my all-time favorite Sooners. If he ends up someplace like New England, which knows how to utilize a slot receiver, he can make some noise on Sundays.
Can we stop bashing Knight? He didn’t play good. We know that, and he knows that. That is why he is the backup QB. Also, let’s not forget, Mayfield didn’t exactly have a stellar first half throwing the football either. We struggled out of the gate, and to be forced into playing the backup QB for an entire half like that seldom works out for a team. Knight has looked solid in relief all season. IMO, he can be afforded a bad half of football without having OU fans knock him for it.
Reading the comments last night after I made it home from Norman at 1:30am made me sick. Some of you really need to get a grip.
Did I mention Knight really performed poorly last night, I mean not good.
If seeing multiple critiques of a player’s on-field performance does that to you then you should really consider not coming here.
It’s not critiques, it’s bashing for the sake of bashing. And it’s lame. He didn’t play good. The OU offense in general, even with Baker, didn’t play great. Give TCU some credit and move on.
If you can’t see by now that Mayfield is several levels better then Trevor Knight then the only thing I can say is you need an eye examination pronto @soonerfantu:disqus.
Why r u only on here when we perform less than desirably? Troll much?
Why don’t you go start your own message board so you’re never offended @Jpsooner23:disqus?
Hey Bilo, I never said I was offended. Just saying u should at least have the balls to come on here when things go well. Stephen Dale has more respect round here than u. At least he shows up to bitch, win or lose. Have fun trolling today. I will be enjoying being 10-1 with a good chance of winning the conference and possibly more. Later Bilo.
You actually think it takes balls to post comments online? You’re a special kind of stupid @jpsooner23:disqus
Keep following me around online like a lost little puppy btw.
You’re a special kind of puss to call someone stupid online.
See what I did there bi-lo.
Not worried about you anyway, you’ll disappear into the abyss as we win.
Bye bi-lo. Say something funny now and you’ll get the last word in and u can feel good about that. No more wasted posts on a retard.
You sure seem obsessed over someone “you’re not worried about………………”
Oh……….you mean like you @jpsooner23:disqus?

Lololololol, how long did it take u to put ur little presentation together? I said I wasn’t gonna reply so u could have ur last word, but this is classic! Go back in ur cage bi-lo. I feel sorry for u and will leave u alone from now on so u don’t get upset. Mmmmmmm-k?
Alrighty then @jpsooner23:disqus. See ya later…………………puss! 😀
Glad I’m not the only one to notice.
Sorry that I can’t be on here 24/7 like you can @disqus_UrrKRweCfL:disqus. I sincerely apologize.
I agree with the first word in your sentence.
Where did I suggest or say otherwise? There is no denying that. Does that mean you have to bash Knight b/c he isn’t the best QB on our team? lol, your comment makes no sense in the context of this discussion.
Again—-nobody is bashing Knight. Giving an honest assessment of a person’s performance in a civilized and respectful manner is not bashing @soonerfantu:disqus
I agree. Everyone needs to ease up. Deserved or undeserved, any and all OU players should get out full support.
Nobody needs to wake up today and feel ashamed for anything they said last night. There was a lot at stake, and emotions run high even for fans. Support includes having a safe haven to vent with other folks who are passionate about our team. Consider it tough love I guess, but our backup QB needs to perform better in those circumstances.
Believe what you must.
The torch and pitch fork crowd came out quickly for TK last night, didn’t they?
Yes they did. I haven’t watched the game. I’m not looking forward to it given what I’ve heard about the second half performance. But, being the way I am, I will. I will go straight to studying.
I was stressed because I wasn’t watching game: on the road coming back from Columbus to see tOSU.
I guess the thing that gets me most is this:
1. the nay-sayers and gone into the wood work and game out quickly when things got dicey.
2. the sense of entitlement some people feel.
3. the committee of doom didn’t believe this team would be 10-1 at this point and they still aren’t happy. That must be a miserable way to live.
How did Marshall do yesterday? Tell me they won. Please!
They did and it wasn’t close. I can either send you a link to the paper or you can wait for the video.
I came to this thread well after the game and was shocked at how snarky and petulant so many were. Hello!! We were down some of our best players and the toadies were scheming their butts off, yet we won.
Baker wasn’t playing that well either before he got hurt, due to what the toadies were doing, why they would think TK could perform as well or better says more about the complainers than it does about TK or the team.
With everything in this world to worry about, some people expectation isn’t fair and and what they concern themselves with more disproportionate than they know.
Good for Marshall: may they win until they lose. May that never happen. But if it does, let it happen next season.
The problem I am facing is this, I don’t know what time Bedlam will be played yet, but my Mavs have a 10:30a.m. game at Cowboy stadium next Saturday against a good Frisco Lone Star and their Clemson commit QB.
What to do…what to do.
You will do the right thing.
LOL!
Possibly, then live with the result.
Here you go.
http://etsn.fm/marshall-blasts-south-oak-cliff-35-3-for-big-time-experience-next-week/
EasTex, thanks for sharing. I finally got around to reading the article. Congratulations, again. Isn’t this the team that has 13 players with D-1 offers?
I looked at the stats; it looks like it was running back by committee. A lot of players had some respectable yardage. On to the next challenge. This team has been defying odds for a few weeks now. Let’s see if they can do it one more time.
That was the team that beat them this time last year with 13 D1 commits. They were a juggernaut last year.
Hope the Cowboy stadium experience doesn’t distract them. It’s a treat for ETex schools to play there, especially this early in the playoffs. If they keep rolling they will play their final game in the Texan’s stadium in Houston one month from now.
It isn’t bashing Trevor Knight to acknowledge that we aren’t doing him any favors putting him in a position where he can’t perform. He’s a great athlete and a wonderful person. We should find another position for him, perhaps as a receiver or defensive back.
Earlier in the season I mentioned maybe he could play in the slot, I’ve never seen his hands though. He just always seems so ready on the sidelines and young Cody Thomas should be getting the 2nd team reps, unless we are moving on. If so, can Cody play TE? I do not want Bob Stoops’ job.
Can’t really compare Baker’s 2 tds, 0 ints, to Knight’s 0 tds 1 int. in less attempts. I’m not bashing but I hope Thomas is the backup next week, it will be a terrible watch for Trevor in film, I’m not sure he can shake that in a week. He had a really bad game but he’s doesn’t deserve all the criticism he’s not just a scrub Riley could’ve done a little better with him. Also please go recruit TEs,FBs, and ST players now please. please?
Don’t cherry pick stats. Baker was also 9 of 20 for 127 yards, and a QB rating of 45. Knight was worse, but Bake wasn’t all that good in the first half either.
The toadies were a scheming bunch….yet we won.
To me, Parker batting the conversion attempt away was “Sooner Magic.”
Indeed. Big time plays are what makes champions. These guys seem to have it.
Remember how many close calls we had in 2000? The TM interception against aTm. The Strait interception/knock down against OSU. NC’s often involve a little luck, or well timed magic.
True. Conversely, look at the close, contested plays that went the toadies way in the 4th qtr. Yet…WE WON.
You read all that and that’s what you have to say? Also you say not to cherry pick yet you only post Baker’s stats and not Trevor’s. You’re doing this all wrong man. It’s all about decision making. IMO We didn’t really need a QB last night . We should’ve played with two TE’s Grant and Andrews and just mushed those 180 lb linebackers. A power run game would’ve been enough.
Their #20 and #23 looked nothing like OUrs.
I empathasize with your point, but I think the problem lies in the fact that TK last night brought up some very unpleasant memories of last season, and folks just need to vent a little. I don’t think there’s a person on this thread who doesn’t think very highly of his character, his class, and his loyalty to OU. He’s bound for bigger things after football.
Soonerfan TU, I admire loyalty. I really appreciate your loyalty. If the committee of doom is bent on complaining, instead of trying to talk them off the ledge, maybe we should encourage them to jump. We’d all be a lot happier. The sunshine pumpers and the COD would be put out of their misery.
See: happiness all around. Who says we can’t get along? LOL!
Admittedly it did get over the top. For the record I like TK very much – he’s a great kid and has great potential. But to be fair, there is a notable difference between not getting much production against a strong secondary and making potentially game-losing blunders. Nevertheless, if TK is going to be the man this week, he just needs to get a lot of reps this week to be sharp. He looked almost like he hadn’t been getting any practice at all.
God is great. Beer is good. And the Sooners won. Happy Sunday to all. For all you faniacs attending worship, enjoy your church families.
Good morning, RR. You enjoy your Sunday.
You too, brother Sam. Thank you.
Friday night game: Iowa @ Nebraska. Our former Big 12 homies do us a solid and knock the people of the corn off their pedestal. Here’s to you, Tom Osbourne!
I also have a solid feeling about Stanford knocking off ND.
Me too.
Same here.
Me too. But it is ND you can’t rule out souls for cash swapping, cigar and cardigan parties.
Count me in that group too. Stanford should be chomping at the bit for this one.
I feel a lot more confident about our chances of getting into the Playoffs now. Seeing some people with OU in their Top 4 now that Okie St and tOSU lost. Doesn’t mean anything for the CFB Playoff Committee but it’s something.
Those hunchback leprechauns were awesome yesterday, weren’t they?
ALMOST as impressive as the Gators’ “referee-aided” victory over the two-win Florida Atlantic team.
Still makes me want to *snort* when I think about that gator game.
Overall, it was a wacky day in cfb.
And let’s not forget the Gamecocks implosion against the Citadel. I mean, yeah SC isn’t having a great year, but the Citadel? Are you kidding me?
LOL, in a better world, ND would drop 10 spots after a victory like that
On Mayfield, I’d be pretty surprised if he can’t go this week. Matter of fact, I think he’ll be cleared to go on Monday. Sounded precautionary to me. Baker played after the hit, and the only “potential” sign of a concussion was the headache he told the staff he had. It’s possible to get hit in the head like that and get a headache that isn’t concussion related. But the staff has to be cautious. I think he’ll be good to go though, and hopefully we can go to Stoolwater and come out with a win.
I hope he is good to go, but I hope Perine and Mixon are 100% regardless.
I don’t see Baker not playing either. Honestly, I don’t think he’d let them keep him from playing next week. Regardless, as tough of a game as Knight had last night, I still think we’d win if he played since he’d be better prepared.
Yeah, I would NOT want to be the doctor who tries to tell BM he isn’t playing against OSU. The doctor might need a doctor.
Baylor, TCU, OSU and others have very good #2 and even capable #3 guys who can step in and lead to team to victory. What is baffling to me is why OU does not. It is clear to me that Mayfield has saved Stoops career at OU. Without him, OU would be looking at 6-5. I think he is the top story in college football this year. I just think it’s bothersome that “top rated” quarterbacks do not choose OU. Even the ones who excelled here like White and Bradley were local 3* kids who really surprised everyone. I am hoping that Mayfield along with Riley’s system and OU’s success this year and perhaps next will change that. We don’t have to get the highest rated kids, just good ones that fit this system.
I agree completely. With our Heisman success at the position we should be Quarterback University. Yet we clearly are not. Why?
I hope Baker can go too, but it’s completely up to the doctor’s decision. It was a terrible hit and if he shows sign of post concussion this week, I don’t think there is anyway he plays. Perhaps five years ago, but not in today’s environment where the issue is front and center.
The main takeaway from yesterday was that Baylor is still in the race for Big XII title if we don’t take care of business. If Baker can’t go we are in trouble of letting this happen. Here’s to hoping for BM’s good health!
Gameday going to Stoolwater.
So Bedlam it is. Sweet! At least we’ll have a really big stage for our last game. Time to make a statement!
