When the announcers were saying he wanted to go to
Alabama, but thought he could play more here, on the texis game thread they said he didn’t go to Alabama because he was as dumb as a half brained monkey. And Stoops would take anyone who could pass basket weaving.
I hope Perine runs for 300 through their mudholes!
I’ve got that “excited/scared” feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared.
Or maybe it’s more, it could be 98% scared, 2%
excited but that’s what makes it so intense, it’s so confusing. I can’t
really figure it out.
I was with the Pride, and let me tell you, that Tapper section was huge. They even had a row for just all the kids. They had matching Tapper shirts too.
The offense is going to be the undoing of this team. It’s just not championship caliber, and hasn’t bee over the last two seasons except in one game (Bama).
It’s not the play calling when your QB misthrows to open receivers, and when he does hit them, they drop it. I think some of you overestimate our offense in general, and especially our run game.
Starting to remember why I normally avoid game threads.
320 lbs across the O-Line, a 260 lbs FB, and two backs 220+. The staff may not call it a power running offense, but that is how the machine is built. Boomer
Oh, I’m not being optimistic, don’t get me wrong, but all the people in here bitching aren’t going to make things better, you’re just going to make yourself more angry
Holy Crap! If we want this game we had better step up now! Coat Neil’s hands with Gorilla Glue; put Perine in the I, Spread the field sideline to sideline and run the QB read option all the way down the field!!! Boomer!
I don’t like leaving Knight in there. I’m sure I’m alone. Even Bama went Wildcat to pick up 3rd and 1’s earlier today. Use Bell, or go Wildcat, and run the damn QB.
haha, I can’t stand obama but that has nothing to do with this. I’m pretty sure we’re on the same side but at the same time you’re making way to big a deal about this.
Checking in. We got this one. Three td’s in a row. Game plan of play action and loosening them up with easy throws is good. Trevor was good until guys started dropping em, then he got shaky. Brilliant goal line call by Heupel got the momentum turned.
Their success offensively has happened when we went three and out with drops or erratic passes. I don’t think that’s gonna happen in the second half. Road jitters, but everyone has settled down. We’re in good shape.
I like our chances in the second half. We are winning the trenches. White will make his plays, dude is going to go first round, we have to stop everyone else
Think we are just fine. Take the KO and ram in down their f’n throats and throttle them on D. Run some ZR to loosen them up and then let Perine run over’em.
He will. To me, that is the last resort. If he gets hurt, we our screwed. We have 24 at the half. Scoring/offense/moving the ball isn’t the current problem.
Defense showed a little fatigue when they had to go back on too fast, but overall they had some rest time during long drives and will be ready for the second half. If WVU didn’t put us away in the first half, they’re in big trouble, I think.
LSU losing badly at home to Mississippi State. So what will happen is, LSU will drop one spot to #9, MSU will move up to #8. That way, the media will have something like 17 SEC schools in the top 10…
I’m not gonna say I called Perine having a break out game and separating himself from Ross, but I did kinda call Perine having a breaking out game and separating himself from Ross 😉
Good call. But let’s keep Ross in there spelling him and returning some kicks. Ross might break one from scrimmage before this is over. Clearly Perine is destroying them. How many guys are out of the game because they tried to tackle him?
Perine was hidden behind Ford before (A bit), but now everyone in the country that didn’t know before, is learning what we all already knew. He is a beast
Okay. Spread the field sideline to sideline and run the play action with SMASH in the I. After he gets a few more touches Knight should keep it for big SAFE yards. Time to expand the lead to 14!!! BOOMER!
I remember reading the practice notes on here, before they got in trouble for posting the info. I remember K saying that those inside the program were talking about how Thomas and Hansen had “NFL career’s written all over them”….wha???
In all fairness TK9 was hurt twice last year so there is precedence. His slide is also still not on point. It would be nice to give him a couple just so offenses have to account for it.
Cant be too hard on Sanchez. He gives everything he has, up to his talents. He is just not fast or strong. He gets interceptions because teams arent afraid and challenge him. I would be surprised if he even runs a 4.65. He has heart, im a fan
those guys are future NFL receivers. Tricketts been doing a great job of reading the blitzes and calling adjustments, but I think we’re fooling him some now…
We are a young team like others have said at skill positions. We needed a game like this. TK is going to use the word “adversity” 10000 times in post game interviews
I don’t think knight has to be perfect for this type of offense. Big RBs, huge O-line.. I do agree on his performance tonight. Not the best.. But playing on the road, this was a very tough game.. Great game Perine..
How much do you think Sanchez’s shoulder being tender effected his play?
WVU may just be the second best team in the big 12. Really impressed with their WR crew and their QB. If we did not have Perrine there is no way we walk out of here tonight with a win.
My first post in thread. We are good. Perine is SPECIAL. We need Sanchez to get healthy dangit. TK9 would have killed them on zone read “option”. Seems like they are all designed hand-offs. I LOVE mauling people with our offensive line and SP32 handing out headaches.
GREAT WIN! Best offense we will see until baylor. D showed up in the second half and clamped down and made plays when needed! Proud of this team’. Bye week much needed to get some guys healthy, hopefully tap is ok…. We could really use dimon and walker back! The added depth and talent those guys bring to the field will be key during this stretch against TCU, texsa, and KSU!!
BOOMER!!!!!!!
On another note, the amount of activity thus site has, has tremendously slowed down my IPAD! TFB ROCKS
You would be surprised how much it would help. Going through some PT and what not. I dealt with a similar thing in High School. And after going through some PT I felt quite a bit better. The thing about it is the thing that hurts the most is quick motions. Like trying to knock down a pass.
I’m almost curious to see how little credit ESECPIN gives to OU and Perine tonight. But not curious enough to watch. It’s probably going to be all about Mizzou getting upset.
Look at that dumb selfish face staring unto the field. (Winston)
Your team is going to lose because of you.
Let’s hear what espn has to say about that!
I would hope they trust him enough to let him decide and then get down. He is such a weapon when he can use his legs! Insure hope they are setting this up for future opponents.
Heck I can’t spell his name half the time and he’s like the Hulk hitting people… Hulk SMASH! With all the people he keeps laying the hurt to it works well
Perine isn’t the only one who had a coming out party…….how bout Ross?……Heupel??? Trevor was calm and found his touch. The Sooners have 3 running back stars blooming. This D just doesn’t quit. Zack needs R & R, What a heart that guy has…………..
If Ross would be patient and wait for his hole, or hit the one given, he’d be an absolute beast. That will come with time. No denying how special he is in the return game!! I personally feel they need to get more receivers involved, or get bell and flowers involved in the passing game. All we heard all fall camp is how Quick was impressive, but he’s seen the field for maybe 5 snaps. Trevor needs to be a playmaker not a distributor for this team it be VERY successful. Shepard is a beast and Neal and Young are getting better, but they need to figure out a way to get these young guys some time. We hear it from the coaches, but no action. Kind of like what we hear about the tight end! This team is Special. I really believe it. If they take the reigns off Trevor, this could be a very special year.
Ross is pretty far behind the other two at RB IMO. His hips are extremely stiff so he can’t move laterally and his vision is sub par. Has excellent straight line speed for the return game just don’t like him in the backfield.
I was but got the nieces over staying the night and they asked to watch Empire Strikes Back…was so proud had to give them the theatre! Ages 9 and 7…asking to watch Empire Strikes Back. Proud uncle!
Oh, a much better choice! Family comes first too, so no judgement here. I was just pointing out Mariota making about a 70 yd scramble. It was called back for holding, but the point still stands.
quote from The Smoking Musket, “Had the Oklahoma Sooners been kind enough to send the Mountaineers out back to select their own switch for the impending whoopin’, the gold and blue almost certainly could have picked anything less punishing than OU tailback Samaje Perine, who ran for an opponent record 242 yards on 34 carries and 4 scores. ” LOL
Ill say this. If all thos zone reads were designed rb runs Huepel needs fired. If they were true reads Knight blows at the zone read. If Knight keeps half of those zone reafs IMHO we score 14-21 more points. Someone needs a seripus a$$ chewing after that offensive performance on the qb side of things. Huepel or Knight need a fire lit up their ass because if je carries tje ball we bury W. Va in tje 1st jalf.
It wasn’t like we had a 21-point lead and were cruising. It was tight, and when you leave all those plays in the playbook you are really taking a chance. Guess they have tons of faith in the D, because it sure wasn’t looking like the O was pulling out all of the stops.
I agree. Ill let JY or K decide whether or not they were designed keeps. But if they werent then Knight is terrible at the zone read and it should be omitted from the playbook. If that was designed then Huepel needs to go. Knight scores at least twice keeping the ball.
TK didnt degress at the zone read since last season. its quite clear he’s not permitted to run in order to stay healthy. we have no suitable backup qb. if tk goes down, so does the season
Then take the play out of the playbook. It is stupid to run a play designed for the quarterback to keep or handoff based on his read of an unblocked player if the quarterback is told to never keep it. Why keep running it? You are setting the offense up to fail. If you had a quarterback who was just terrible at throwing deep passes so badly that you tell him not to throw any passes over 12 yards, you wouldn’t constantly call pass plays where every receiver is supposed to run go routs.
They looked like zone read plays and it looked like Trevor made the wrong read when he should have kept it many times. It is perplexing to say the least. Either Trevor sucks at it or our coaches suck at coaching it. I don’t think any our our offensive coaching staff has come from a zone read offense. Spread and Air Raid yes, option no.
I have to say, I was a detractor last season, but he’s been very impressive so far. I don’t think he’s been scored on yet, which is more than anyone else in our secondary can say.
Like Drew below I wasn’t a big dan of Hayes last year but more and more he is reminding me of Javon Harris who had a sub-par Junior season but foloowed it with a Great Senior Season and the same couold be said for Gabe Lynn. Happy to admit I was wrong about Hayes and congradulate him on a Great Start to the Season!
Thanks. That game happened in like ’06 right? I was only 12 at the time, and I’m still incredibly bitter about that game. Might have been the first time where something I was passionate about got truly cheated out of on a large scale. So you’ll notice me bringing that up a lot lol.
I purposefully stayed away from the game thread this evening because had to visit a freind that is in the Hospital and I thought I would glance through the highlights when I got home. WRONG!!!!! LOL!
Ross needs to work on some things so that he is able to contribute to the running game early in the game. I think they can misdirection plays and screens/sweeps and he would be successful but between the tackles he’s not there yet. However late in games the switching between ross and perine looked like it worked well so until ford is back healthy I would like to see them alternate those 2 when the defenses are worn out. Ross needs to be on the field just not always as a tailback.
I wonder how he do as a fullback? I know he is kind of light for the prototype fullback but he could be good at those quick hitters or faking it to him and he slip through the middle and get open for a pass.
I don’t think he’s a terribly good blocker though. Could be wrong, but regardless, I think he’d be fantastic as a WR. We’re having some troubles there anyway, and you always want someone with his speed on the field. I can see plays where handing him the ball out of the slot (like we did w/ Sheperd last year) doing some serious damage.
Early on Ross was stopping his feet as soon as he got hit, as in previous games.
Later in the game he was actually keeping his feet moving after contact and he ran harder. Would like to see more of that from Ross.
Yep, I’ve said it before but Ross runs like Demarco, after Demarco was coming back from his knee injury. But late in the game he was running like Ford. Much different.
Well I think Josh Heupal actually called a GREAT game! I didn’t think so while I was watching but upon further review, all thoses middle runs they ran in the first half started taking there toll in the 4th quarter and we just ran right over them on the last couple drives. Takes patience to call that kind of game but Perine was a BEAST and in the past when we got down Heupal would have gotten away from the running game and it has caused us trouble but this time we just kept pounding the rock until we crushed them into pea gravel! ALL DAY!
Good observations. I think the passing game handcuffed Huepel a bit. Neal and shepherd had some shocking misses. The incompletion in the first or second drive of the game where Knight threw behind a Shep looked like he expected Shep to settle into the open space and instead Shep kept going on his route.
Those run plays up the middle likely wouldn’t have worked with Ross being the ball carrier. Perine displayed amazing patience to let the blocking develop before hitting another gear. Heupel did a good job calling the plays that the o-line and Perine were best suited.
First chance we’ve really had to see Tank get in rhythm. It is surprising how fluid he is in the hips and able to change direction. Quick feet, good vision. Behind a veteran oline, this should open up a lot of possibilities especially if the receivers stop dropping balls and TK can slow down and find the open guy. This offense is on the verge of going nuclear.
It also looked as though he was trying to lead Shep with that missed pass (albeit in the opposite direction). Had Shep been able to get his momentum going the way of the pass, he had a ton of room to run.
I think part of the plan was to loosen them up with surgical passes early and on running downs, and then wear them down with the running game as the game progressed. Worked pretty well.
I am SICK and TIRED of the ESECPN hate talk, BUT the #4 team in the country just had a TRUE freshman rush for 242 yards and 4 TD’s on the road in a hostile environment and you have to go digging on ESPN’s website to find anything about it. Any other top 10 team, and it would the headline.
I saw a comment somewhere that said ” Alabama beats wVu by 10, and wVu is “much improved”. OU beats them by 12 (counting a garbage time td) in Morgantown, and they “survive” against wVu”. Well said…
That’s a good example that I would have not noticed- OU has a close game and it’s hanging on, SEC team has a close a game and they marvel about the opponent.
I saw that I don’t think Herbstreit is bad and I don’t think he’s trying to put ou down. He’s been very complimentary of ou so far. He did say striker might/should be in NYC for the heisman ceremony. I don’t know that striker will end up with the numbers but he does have the impact. Has he said anything about Hayes? Because I think Hayes is having a great year so far and it’s funny how everyone wanted him to be benched.
How tired did everyone get of seeing Trickett on the sidelines in the first half laughing and acting like a bitch? Well, I didn’t see that anymore after halftime. It was especially rewarding when Ndulue drove him into the turf. Boomer Sooner!
Was thinking the exact same thing. From the beginning these guys acted like they had the game won. Even their coach supposedly said he felt sure they were better than us in every phase except for maybe the D-line. Talk about presumptuous. WVU is very good, particularly on offense, and going to Morgantown is never easy. But to see their attitude last night, you’d think they figured OU for a paper tiger. One honestly wonders what in the world could have made them think such things.
Did we not recruit Howard or somehow hurt his wittle feewings? He seems to have a bit of a spur in his butt toward us and his alma mater stinks going on a solid decade now
If we are “returning to a more physical attack” like all the announcers keep spewing… Why isnt Cale the OC??? I would think Cale has a tad more experience than JH….
Not in the nationwide coverage, but in the Big 12 blog Chatmon did post this gem:
Perine rushed 34 times for 242 punishing yards, each one taking a toll on every Mountaineer who tried to bring him down. By the time he finished off his fourth touchdown run of the game, West Virginia seemed almost completely unwilling to take him on, and the Sooners definitely took notice as defenders continually lowered their sights on him after getting trucked repeatedly by the 243-pounder.
man i was worried the sooners alternate uni’s would be a jinx but as we can see they weren’t. I know Bob Stoops is a very superstitious person making the schools keep Bob Barry since they won the Title in 2000. so do we wear the uni’s every game on the road now?

You mean Texsa, right?
When the announcers were saying he wanted to go to
Alabama, but thought he could play more here, on the texis game thread they said he didn’t go to Alabama because he was as dumb as a half brained monkey. And Stoops would take anyone who could pass basket weaving.
I hope Perine runs for 300 through their mudholes!
OU is not a top 4 team by any stretch
For that comment, you move to top four in the dildo rankings.

Time to Bring the WOOD!
KU in a battle with Central Michigan….10-10. Going into the 4th Quarter.
KU up seven now.
Now up 14. KU wins a game!
Big XII, Big XII, Big XII
I’ve got that “excited/scared” feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared.
Or maybe it’s more, it could be 98% scared, 2%
excited but that’s what makes it so intense, it’s so confusing. I can’t
really figure it out.
I feel you me too. And the bad part is I might miss the first quarter trying to get a hair cut.
Don’t you dare! Hair is overrated.
Not true!! Just ask Kliffberry.
This barber is killing me I’ve been waiting 2 hrs.
Not me, I feel no anxiety at all.
Turnip greens and corn bread went down easy. I foresee a big ol’bowl of Braum’s Rocky Road by halftime.
Bama is overrated
The sec is overrated.
Is anyone else’s picture fuzzy or did a hawk fart near my dish?
You must have a bird problem.
Thanks!
I’m all in on these unis. Think they look sharp.
Helmets are matte, I thought they were going to be wood grain? I like them though.
They are, you just have to be up close to really see it.
Gotcha.
The jersey numbers have the grain in them as well, fwiw.
I’m surprised, they actually look a lot better when we’re wearing them on the field.
agreed. looks much better than they did on those mannequins.
Exactly my thought. Except the red pants make Perine’s butt look big.
JR needs bigger glasses fo dat hed!
Like the alternate uni’s. BOOMER! Lets show WVU what a real defense looks like.
Wisky rushed for a school record 664 yards……OU’s team record…..768 yards vs. KSU in 1988. Yikes!
I’s also the BIG Ten’s rushing record as well. SMH

Really a good piece on Fox about the team Haiti trip and building relationships and a strong locker room. Thank you Fox.
Really nice. Wouldn’t see that on ESPN, that’s for sure.
You got that right.
If you did, it would last 15 seconds. Then it would be on to something else, probably something stupid, like Jameis Winston’s decisions.

Last year’s Mountaineer Mascot is way better than this year’s version. This guy looks about 18 years old and his beard looks fake.
OU D will come out first
i really wanna see how they handle this test
me too
nice!
sack #1….Striker!
Striker!
damn they pulled the big game bob moniker….
ndule showed some good feet there
Gotta admit, the alternate uni’s don’t look half bad
gotta admit i like them on the field
Now, let’s just run this down their throats. Big doses of Perine, Ross and TK
need to some D. Flowers too
Bad read there…..TK had tons of room to run.
he had him…
damn, wide open. gotta connect on that.
No excuse for that.
Come on Jed! Dang!
Dammit Trevor, he was wide open
one running play…..hmmmmm
Gotta put your foot on the throat when in a hostile environment.
and step down hardcore
I now that Ross has all the potential in the world, BUT it is not translating on the field yet
If he can’t break a few arm tackles he will be watching Perine pounding it a lot tonight.
have to agree, and i do not think that is bad thing at this time
whew, got lucky there. gotta wrap up, boys.
Gotta get him with that first hit. Dang it!
uhhhhh….okkkaaayyy
Why not let it go into the endzone? SMH
Let’s break off a 95 yard TD run right here.
yes, but i’ll take fist down as a consolation 🙂
Did Perine just target a couple of those defenders?
At least one…the guy on the ground.
We might want to start a Perine defenders body count.
We’re gonna need more body bags.
i like the cut of your jib
I hate to say it because I was REALLY pulling for the guy BUT Alex Ross just doesn’t have it.
We’ll let Perine wear ’em out and then Ross can run around them. At least I hope he can.
on screens in space yes, between the tackles not so much
did mizzou lose?
yes….31-27
🙂
Knight throws so much better on the move, they s/b rolling him out 10-15 times a game, not 2-3.
This.
That way he can also run it if nothing is open down field. I agree.
Very accurate throwing to a spot. Hitting receivers on the move, well that is a problem
KJ was clutch.
KJ Young has some hands. Thank goodness!
Work. F’ing. Horse.
Nice having a guy that is bruiser that can also take it to the house!
Keep running clock and drive this down. Keep it up guys!
How many Perine carries does it take before defenders start pulling themselves out of the game?
damn it…grr fades
How about a little pass to Bell right here?
I despise Heupel’s propensity for calling fade routes.
x10000
can’t settle for FGs tonight, boys
Knight needs to settle down.
Neal came WIDE open
just money
At least we got MONEY.
C’mon Knight! Plays are all there. Just missing. Im hoping this is just road nerves, yeah thats it
Someone run upstairs and tell JFH we have tight ends!
at he’s not FUJH…..yet
JH to SMU? Is it too soon?
too soon ( i think)
Good coverage down field on that first down. gotta get pressure and take Trickett down.
tight coverage wilson, nice one
Yes.
Our D is so awesome! So proud to be an alum
smh…
Wow!
Give Daniel brooks a shot!
c;mon o line
Perine and brooks please
+1001
no burst
Not understanding why we decide to go back to Ross after he did absolutely nothing, and Perine was tearing it up????
!@#$%^
My sentiments exactly!
Dammit!
C’MON!
nice way to stay at home (from a 4th string TE 🙂 )
Great contain!
welp…
There’s the bust.
by the safety? or Sanchez just got burned…..
Yes.
Uh, where was the safety?
Great. WV has a deep threat…where’s ours?
our punter at this time….
That is truly hilarious, however, I am unable to laugh at this point…
Looks like it’s gonna be one of those nights…
you bite you’re tongue
Done did it.
JH better put down the nachos and dig through the play book.
We are definitely not sharp
“How can anyone focus on fundamentals with so much swag going on?”
it’s up the oline if TK9 is not sharp
the latter, at this point
Wow – butter fingers
twice!
!@#$%^&
Hey Neal, you know what your job is, right?
Why is Mike holding off the dogs? GD Neil!!
Receivers killing us.
happy feet….
throw, throw, throw, punt. the Heupel special.
To be fair, the first 2 passes were great calls, Neal just dropped guaranteed 1st downs.
Bad plays as well. They are loading the box and Knight is missing open receivers.
Trevor is starring down his receivers and NEVER coming off them…. This could get bad
That’s twice
Defense needs to make a play.
FIFY: Defense needs to make ALL the plays.
light speed game
going to wear out the D if the offense can’t stay on the bloody field
Knight and Josh is not a good mix
Let’s see how this team responds to some adversity. Or at least the defense, offense clearly didn’t respond well on that last drive.
The offense is going to be the undoing of this team. It’s just not championship caliber, and hasn’t bee over the last two seasons except in one game (Bama).
WVU only has 6 in the box, why are we not running? I don’t get this?
The objective, josh, is to keep the wvu “O” off of the field, not you yours
Tell that to Neal.
The defense needs to take the game over
Where is the Qb run game?
This!! ^^^^^^
Wouldn’t have needed it if for dropped passes.
It was there earlier, but it was a called handoff again.
have we seen the diamond formation yet?….. i need rum
THIS, SO MANY TIME THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/TheFbBrainiacs/status/513482973874634754
This guy on LandThieves was trashing our receivers and how they should be better…they’re supporting his argument right now.
landthieves…haha..i get it..wait?
Please keep Ross out of the backfield. Please.
Can you say Baylor 2013?
I know people are dumping on JH, but those were good calls. It’s not his fault Neal dropped good passes.
on the road, qb and rx’ers not sharp, run game is the answer…..that is on the OC to recognize when your plan falls short and you have to adjust
holding? great i am rooting for refs now
Tapper is just so excited to get after Trickett.
https://twitter.com/GabeIkard/status/513483685572526082
And it all starts to fall apart…(hopefully this is one of those posts where I look back at the end of the game and laugh)
Who needs to be cut in the secondary?
if you’re gonna play 10 yards off the f’ing WR, they’ll catch the ball in front of you every single f’ing time.
Unless, of course, it’s Neal.
doesn’t work for us
So much for Trickett’s sprained hair…I’m starting to think that site I read that article from is just satire…
dropped passes are haunting
Tenn exposed our wr’s last week, can blame wvu for watching film
Thoughts: 1. Already sick of the announcers love affair with Trickett. 2. Highly questionable play calling 3. Sloppy plays are killing us
uh, i don’t recognize the team in the strange uniforms. Thought OU was playing tonight!
is it me or the d playing a soft zone?
I just see soft, don’t really care whatever the actual coverage is
fair point indeed
I’m guessing there’s a good reason were not blitzing much
We need to put together a drive here to turn the momentum
Wvu is daring us to throw to someone other than shepherd
TK is rattled
Oline is playing okay but needs to dominate.
Open the play book. Run TK
Where’s our pass rush!! Argh
I have been copying your ARGH!
Now Ross is coming in to run into the lineman 3 straight times.
Bite your tongue!
Hey look, they know how to cover a punt
At least Sterling didn’t fair catch on the 5 again
Sterling just does not make good decisions on punt returns. Does have good hands though so can see why he is back there.
Thanks defense, Lets GO O!
Good push by the DL on that one. And then we get another crappy start on offense. Dang it!
This is a BIG drive…. Gotta make something happen here
Huge drive!
Mega drive!
three and out here and we’re in some deep sh#$
If Ross is in, you can almost bet on it.
I can’t even argue with this. SMH
Tap the breaks there buddy
QB run play please
I want play action, option, and someone else not named shepherd to catch the ball
We ran play action. At least once.
that is quite an xmas list…
misdirection would be nice….
We’ll be fine when we settle down.
hope you are correct calm sir
I hope that happens in this game not later.
And when will that be?
oh my
Is running on first down allowed?
Okay, the TK to Neal pipeline is not working. Playing like we are big time behind.
Where’s the composure?
Seriously?
Heupel is freaking clueless
It’s not the play calling when your QB misthrows to open receivers, and when he does hit them, they drop it. I think some of you overestimate our offense in general, and especially our run game.
Starting to remember why I normally avoid game threads.
TK is in quicksand.
Ross is in…3 & out
Another 3 and out without trying to run
TOATS….not too soon.. SMU on the line for JH please take the call……
Geez…let’s get it going boys
FUJH makes an appearance again!
Gotta get un-vanilla soon!
Starting to think that whole vanilla thing was just a myth.
Actually we need to get more vanilla and run the damn ball
yes
2nd and long and 3rd and long is now way to run an offense
Vanilla would be great. It’s bullshit i’m not a fan of. Run the damn ball
6 straight passes for a power running offense? We have the wrong OC – too much spread in his blood
Where did you get “power running offense” from? I doubt anybody on the OU team or staff would describe our offense that way.
320 lbs across the O-Line, a 260 lbs FB, and two backs 220+. The staff may not call it a power running offense, but that is how the machine is built. Boomer
Sooners looking very flat. Absolutely no running game puts way too much pressure on Knight and he is not responding well.
Did we bring the traditional uni’s to change into at half?
We get the fastest punt snapper in the world and all our punts a microseconds from being blocked?
That’s because our Punter holds the ball until the last second.
Trevor seems rattled. Zero Perine in two possessions when we are down early in a road game and the crowd is in it.
all right D, knock the booble head off the QB
The one possession that got OU points was the one with Perine…where’s he been since?
He was in the possession before last when Neal dropped the two passes and TK tried to hit a double teamed Shep.
Open the damn playbook.
White is molesting Sanchez
Trickett is getting all kinds of time too
Sanchez!
We are going to get our Donkeys handed to us.
that’s 2 dirty
this could get embarrassing
s/h/b six
yep
Knight really looks rattled.
The whole damn offense looks rattled, except for Perine…where’s he at? On the bench. #FUJH
We’re getting beat.
how come they can mix up the play calling, but we can’t?
Notice how they have 3rd and short a lot and we have third and long a lot
D is bailing us out. O needs to get their act together.
Thanks ref
Go Fighting Refs!!!!
D did good.
Just good enough.
We’re not in Lubbock.
Don’t tell our O that.
Eerily similar
Watch for the fake now!
just great….
career long? I’m shocked.
something like that was bound to happen
MOMENTUM!
We need to get it back, that’s for sure.
REAL read option please!
And a heavy dose of Perine.
Line up jumbo set no wr’s. Please?
We have not run the diamond yet…..about time to give them a different look,
All this and a touchdown on our next drive ties it up. Calm down here people, the sky is not falling
Have you seen our offense?
Do you think pessimism will make it better?
false optimism can be just as deadly for the O, if they do not adjust to what the D is giving them
Oh, I’m not being optimistic, don’t get me wrong, but all the people in here bitching aren’t going to make things better, you’re just going to make yourself more angry
may not be falling but we have seen this movie before….
I just want to see us run the damn ball.
Another 3 and out may just be enough to make it happen
wow so many pussy’s on this site wtf
Nice.
Huepel is irritating me. Perine is pounding the ball and he thinks Landry is still back there.
Let Knight run once or twice and get Perine going this drive
RETURN IT!
Holy Crap! If we want this game we had better step up now! Coat Neil’s hands with Gorilla Glue; put Perine in the I, Spread the field sideline to sideline and run the QB read option all the way down the field!!! Boomer!
He’s trying to get Trevor’s confidence up with the pass game right now. We need Trevor and receivers in sync
If we ran the ball a little play action could open things up. Trevor is the least accurate Qb since PT. And thats ok if you still run him.
Let’s go!
I know he caught that, but still; another throw?
A vertical pass 🙂
Play action scratch off list
Gimme option
He should have murdered that guy!
Hey, I’ll take what we get. Now let’s pound this one in there.
Did we just run the damn ball?
PERINE!
WHO CALLED FOR SOME PERINE!
We all have!!! BOOMER!!
Probably Norvelle….
Everybody
Post of Blake Bell
why has he not just been feeding him all game?
Beast. Petrine is just a beast
Every guy Perine hits gets hurt
That’s two and one guy lost a helmet earlier.
I’ll sit here and be hurt for you guys
flowers in power run
PA to bell? Or smash with beast?
We need to use the TE’s for sure.
grrr and we stall in the red zone
Bring in the Big Set
9 in the box, but at least we are trying to run now.
HAHAHAHAHA YES
Heupel!!!
just keep it one damn time, Trevor
Run the big boy!
Who’s calling plays???
Razzle dazzle hasn’t been this depressing since Kansas last season…
Heupel!!!!
I’ll take some trickery at this point
Finally!!!
razzle dazzle woooooot!
Ohhhhh beautifull
I am no sure if I am happy or sad that we had to do that…
Happy! No Question! Very happy!!!
Well played.
well…um…that was something
There is no doubt at this point we’re in a game, whatever works now.
Josh Heupel just whipped it out for a few of you guys. 😉
I’ll take it.
Our OL has to man up here
Knight schooling the receivers.
Everyone chill now?
not nearly
NO, and I won’t be until OU is up comfortably, emotions run high here.
I won’t be chill until we hang half hundred
Now if those two could reverse that role
HA!
now that’s funny
I think our O will get going here soon
Hey, we just drove down the field for a TD. Running and passing. Gotta keep that balance.
Second possession with Perine in…we get points. Anyone else noticing a trend?
Does that TD play mean heuple accepted the smu job and is no longer in the booth?
Now we need to bring some pressure
Ok let’s start this thing over. Come on D
D UP
BIg G!
That pass almost looked improvised from Neal.
well sanchez that is 3, wth?
At some point, you would think that Sanchez would get some help. He’s clearly being dominated.
The color guy talks to much. Freakin homer.
watch the slot guy
Where exactly does the experience of practicing against DGB start to help?
Hit somebody
and 4….
time to bench Sanchez
Grissom showing some game
think that was a catch
that’s a TD
Secondary is getting exposed…
That is a TD
Unfortunately
I’m not sure how our CBs could be playing any worse
Blitz?
Secondary needs some work
Understatement of the year!
Wow that is just too easy
so much for that momentum from that trick play we needed just to score a TD
We knew they were a passing team right?
this sucks
Looks like TD to me
Well crap
This shoot out brought to you by Josh Heup.
You can[‘t blame our secondary and no pass rush on Josh
Is the sky falling now?
Secondary is getting exposed, big time.
Thank you Mike Stoops
And our lack of WRs outside of Shepard…
I still have faith in our D even if it ends in a shootout. They are still the best asset we have.
Trickett’s uniform is way too clean
OU can’t win a shootout, IMO. Not built to get big plays like WVU is.
With someone that can’t throw 5 yard’s i doubt it
Hmm wonder if WV players look confident?
Middle pressure!!!!!
We can score, hold them then get ball to start 2nd half
gotta answer the bell O
Ok another shootout in W Virginie. Hope Knight is up to it
LOL what a joke the D is and dont get me started on Josh SMU is looking like a good job offer
We’re about to find out if this team has what it takes to fight back.
please run a little
Neil missed his block
Please, for the love of God, call a running play
Ross needs an eye exam
tunnel vision
I repeat
Wear that D out on this drive
two linemen in front of him and he gets tackled by his own guy, smh
Slow the pace. Clock
Great line blocking
good run kj
liking this drive so far
Honestly, I wish it would have taken a bit longer, but it aint over yet…
BEAST
Can’t tackle Perine
He is a beast!
Perine is straight out of tecmo bowl
damn! nice! run!
I love that kid, he’s going to be special.
I like the rhythm
Good thing there’s an extra ref…
Zebra down.
Don’t get fancy, hand the ball up the middle again
That is a full grown ass MAN
That tonkary dude has been playing dirty all damn game
that’s got to be on WVU, or at worst off setting. But it should really be on WVU
was there a flag?
LOL
Was there a flag?
Hopefully he doesn’t get too pissed and whiff on the next play…
Should’ve been a personal foul hands to the face on WVU….but they’re the home team
Hey, the refs are giving the D a rest right now…I won’t complain.
D getting a nice rest
‘Bout damn time.
Can we play now ladies?
OK man up and knock them off the ball. Give it to Perine
So much for play action…
Bell cannot block
Same thing
Shouldve been a keeper and he walks in
wha? Rip went to the edge, PErine went inside
why did he not follow Rip?
True Freshman…
yeah
Knight could have walked in.
They are totally ignoring him, because we aren’t running him at all.
O-Line needs to do a better job there
Saw Smallwood in…perhaps PA pass?
That’s why WV called TO
Knight will keep it this time
I don’t like leaving Knight in there. I’m sure I’m alone. Even Bama went Wildcat to pick up 3rd and 1’s earlier today. Use Bell, or go Wildcat, and run the damn QB.
If they aren’t going to let Knight keep the ball then this would be an option.
SAMASHE!!!!
Thank you
man child!
Perine!!!!
whew, had to have that one
“had to have that one”? No, I think we could’ve lived without and still win
LOL.
that’s the way to push line!
Was really hoping against a shootout…
Now can our D step up?
He wouldn’t follow one blocker so we gave him two.
I thought with this D we were gonna be done with these damn shootout type games! My heart can’t take it
Power formation with motion or play action and we can run and throw on anyone. We need to play to our strengths
Savage is a heluva run blocker
Lets see some pressure mike
need a stop or turnover here, D
why?
Dang, should’ve had that
unreal
WTF?
May as well just tell them that we can’t stop them.
uhhhhhh…..
should have worked, dammit
Since our OL is so deep, surprised we haven’t put some extra OL at 2 TE spots and run some real power at the WVU 3-3-5 defense with unbalances lines….
Makes too much sense
He had it
Nice wig on 39
The helmet is definitely an upgrade!
Smh
short field…
good call bad execution.
Have to have a stop here
We have 3 TO’s if we stop them here
lock them down!
Soft coverage and backpedaling CB’s here? Probably.
WVU has been better with a long field, maybe we have a chance here.
Bring the pressure
I smell a screnn
Cmon D
Can we talk about Trickett being born in WV again?
Stricker or hayes time! Get to the Qb and knock the ball loose
SOB!
Don’t cry Ace, it will be okay. LOL
I love the jawing these players wvu are doing
Please awake the sleeping giant
Ou players getting mad
Prove it.
Looks like they’re getting into their heads to me.
^this
At least we got a hit on the Qb.
damn, that jersey grab. fair call.
ok that was dumb
All that jawing that WV is doing is getting into our D’s heads.
seemingly so
we’re just gonna give em 6 here
Geez. Complete defensive melt down
defense looks like s#$% tonight. getting no pressure since that early sack & can’t cover for dick
That’s disgusting.
pathetic
Mike Stoops should go with Heupel to SMU
Jordan Phillips has been neutralized
Come on, sunshine pumpers! Is the sky falling yet?
LOL WVU is just better then OU how sad is that wow
I don’t think penalties handing them that drive necessarily means they’re better…
no
right down the f’ing field as easy as can be
more worried about their ‘personal’ vendettas at this point
Plenty of time and 3 TO’s. We are going to score.
Brought the wood, Left the fundamentals…
we brought balsa wood
I hate sloppy play. we’re better than that
Time to pull another trick play.
Josh Heupel and Mike Stoops should have to run STeps at the next practice
Halftime is gonna be interesting
LETS GO
Smoke
that helped
holy hell
ROSS f’n ROSS!
That’s an answer!
BOOMER
BOOMER!
SOONER!!
There is that track speed!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
SSSSOOOOOOOONNNNNEEEERRRRR!!!!!!!!
Shots fired!! SHOTS FIRED!!
Yessssssssss speeeeed
Well that’s some speed
Hope the D has calmed down
Who needs TO’s
Come on halftime. We need to refocus.
Thought we were done with these shootouts? Time to renew the heart pill prescription.
said almost the exact same thing earlier buddy.
Shootout!
Awesome, but know they have too much time to respond. lol
field goal range is one 1st down away, right
Haters need to leave right now. This is OU, You gotta believe in Sooner Magic. WVU is balling up, but it’s not like they are running away with it.
We just need to settle down.
We aren’t playing to our strengths on either side of the ball
And it’s a tied game. Hold them here and we start with the ball in the second half. Guys will make adjustments and get it going in the second half.
exactly what happened ,, good prediction :0
Maybe we are…scary….
+1000
To…the….HOUSE!!!!!
Thank you, Ross. We really needed that.
Yes ma’am.
Cannot keep up with all of the comments!!!!
I’ll catch you up… ROSS!
LAWL
Hey, every NC run has a game like this. This is where we grow up
Seriously though, we need to start shutting them down. A shoot out style game is not in OUr favor.
Oh Lord, not another 50-49.
shut…them…..down….now!
or……!@#$%
LOL! 4 for 4 Sanchez!
Thanks
yes
OU is getting out pushed up front.
MOMENTUM
Sanchez keeps the streak alive!
well he’s also been burned 4 or 5 times tonight too
Well, there’s that.
Ain’t nobody got time for that.
the truth?
Post that back down there. We’re celebrating an oskie right now. I’m sure there are 4 or 5 places to put that.
I’m not too familiar with you, I’ll call it like I see it man. It was a heck of a play, but the fact that he’s struggled tonight is undeniable.
For sure. I just like to keep the comments in order.
Pitbull’s an old schooler. He’s one of the good guys.
thanks buddy!
So I should celebrate a good play with recent failures? Thanks Obama
Take it easy, we’re all good here.
It’s football season. How can you not have a good time?
I think it’s more of a misunderstanding here than anything else. Passion makes things weird sometimes..
Yeah, you’ll have that when you combine testosterone, football and a keyboard.
LOL!
haha, I can’t stand obama but that has nothing to do with this. I’m pretty sure we’re on the same side but at the same time you’re making way to big a deal about this.
and it also could be I failed to detect sarcasm, I have been up 30 hrs now.
That’s kinda hard in this format though. I think we all just kinda put em in there where we can get em in there.
Hey honey look what edge pressure did
Sanchez’s streak continues!
Yeah, but it’s a bit of a joke in this game…
Which one…the picks, or the busted assignments?
Pad some stats for Perine haha
Okay. Halftime
All tied up.
What are your adjustments???????
Change uniforms.
^^^THIS^^^^
cover deep receivers?
ok its 0-0, lets start over
Make some very necessary adjustments then come out and win this mother f’ing football game.
How about we score first and then bury them on defense. I’m all for that
Yes Please!
Jordan, that is waht concerns me, Mike will adjust, but will JH?
We are going to wear their Donkey out in the 2nd half. This team will not quit.
Wannestedt gets it, why not Heuple?
He will never get it and OU isn’t the place for on the job training
Oh lord, heupel listen to the fox halftime guys… TK could have their defense on their knees instead of a receiving touchdown…
TK has more receptions than runs! Not good.
I retract my statement about LSU being the best team in the SEC……..
The Bullies are strong this year.
Checking in. We got this one. Three td’s in a row. Game plan of play action and loosening them up with easy throws is good. Trevor was good until guys started dropping em, then he got shaky. Brilliant goal line call by Heupel got the momentum turned.
I want to see WVU’s #37 face planted and curb stomped.
note to self …stay on EasTex good side:)
I want that pound of flesh with a punk player.
Dont get me wrong AGREED!
I’m a gentleman first and foremost, but I still got some dog in me.
YES!!!!
Guy’s a dirty player. Stomp
Me too, he’s been dirty from kickoff. I’d love to see Perine with a head of steam at him.
You just punch him in the yarbles, poke him in the eyes and then gently lay his head on the curb and stomp on it.
Problem solved.
I’m very familiar with a good ol curb stomping, I just like to see Perine truck him and keep on moving.
That would be lovely, still…just let Daryl get one really good stupefying shot on him so he has to wobble off the field.
Yeah, I’m even more in favor of him getting caught in he middle of the O line and getting the worst of it.
It’s been busy here tonight Pit, glad you made it in.
We took their best shots. Lets regroup and run them over. Slow the pace. We have better players, we need to control the clock
So, in good news . . . LSU is getting dominated, and Vandy is hanging tight with USCe
Here is an idea. Give Perine the ball until they stop it.
Seconded.
What happen to this awesome rush D?
are you watching? QB getting rid of ball quickly and OU isn’t blitzing that much.
Yup. DL gotta get those hands up, DB’s gotta take first read away.
Their success offensively has happened when we went three and out with drops or erratic passes. I don’t think that’s gonna happen in the second half. Road jitters, but everyone has settled down. We’re in good shape.
Agreed. When our O started executing, their O slowed down (minus those penalties that last drive). We keep that up, we’ll be fine.
Burt!
Not sure what to do. Sanchez is hurt and he plays like he’s hurt. Gotta be hard on him. alternative???
Mike, is that you? Is Jordan Thomas up for the challenge, or are you better off with Sanchez not 100%.
If the defense doesn’t get tired and gift them major penalties, Sanchez will be fine. They need our help or their offense is gonna have troubles.
We need to move Ross to WR. With his size and speed he’d be a matchup nightmare. He’d be a lot more effective on offense at that position too.
These road unis suck. The helmets aren’t too bad but the colored pants and those dumb streaks by the shoulders look stupid.
The colored pants with a white Jersey looks like something Nebraska would do.
I agree about Ross. disagree about unis, I think they actually look good once you see them off of the manikins.
I thought we had a 6 6 tight end? Can’t we use him!!!!!!!!!!
We used him for a nice block on the td run
Bell cant block, Rip can but cant catch. It’s a trade off
He might be tall enough to catch one of those that sail 10 feet over his head…
ok back to my mojo, commentary muted, beer in hand, pandora blasting on the back porch 🙂
to explain that that was first game all season I watched inside with commentary on
WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
I have it corrected now kind sir!
i doubt it will happen, but I hope Clemson slaughters Fla. St.
Go Clemson!!!
they are up 10-3
I like our chances in the second half. We are winning the trenches. White will make his plays, dude is going to go first round, we have to stop everyone else
Think we are just fine. Take the KO and ram in down their f’n throats and throttle them on D. Run some ZR to loosen them up and then let Perine run over’em.
Only one complaint. The zone-read only works if your QB is a threat running. Trevor has to keep the ball some to keep the defense honest.
He will. To me, that is the last resort. If he gets hurt, we our screwed. We have 24 at the half. Scoring/offense/moving the ball isn’t the current problem.
Highlife ain’t working I’m switching to Bourbon!
Make that a double
Double Hell, 16 oz at a time!
Our DEFENSE needs to create some turnovers this half. I believe they will do it.
Defense showed a little fatigue when they had to go back on too fast, but overall they had some rest time during long drives and will be ready for the second half. If WVU didn’t put us away in the first half, they’re in big trouble, I think.
Even tho it didn’t work, I loved the insides kick.
Agreed. If #25 got out of the way, that would have been our ball. They were standing around confused.
0-0. Win the 2nd half
Exactly how you have to look at it.
LSU losing badly at home to Mississippi State. So what will happen is, LSU will drop one spot to #9, MSU will move up to #8. That way, the media will have something like 17 SEC schools in the top 10…
if the SEC beats the SEC, that just proves the superiority of the SEC
Yes, even the losing team will rise in the polls. LOL
Dang, wanted to see Ross get another shot for the run back. Oh well.
Ledt’s get ready to rumble!
YO perine
SMASH!
Offense? Yes please!
Shep just knows where he is on the field. Nice!
Wow! Finally a good deep ball.
Is Bell even playing. we haven’t tried to go to him all
he threw a killer block on the td run
But got reverse pancaked on the play before that. Just too inconsistent on runs to warrant playing time on all downs
Great block
Great block on the edge on the come back…Nice. Perine!
YO perine again
This kid is awesome! gotta love him and Flowers.
yep
Big Bkock! Great patience.
Smash Block
What happened to this guy?
IDK, but it is slowing down our mojo.
Why is there a TV timeout for a player injured on the sideline?
Was wondering the same…
Conspiracy…..;)
Keep running Samaje, he’s taking them out 1 at a time!
4 down territory?
One will do.
Samaje’s in, and we’re driving down the field…hmm…
I think the D is gonna confuse Trickett this half.. he’s been reading the blitzes, but I think they’ll get him
From your fingers to God’s computer screen!
PGRIND!!!
TANK
mack truck
MY OH MY
Who has the momentum now?
OH MY GOD! That is a beast!
Can he be tackled? Let WV answer that
SMASH TD!!!
Nice grin on Ross’s face watching the td
So far, my theory is holding up every time it’s tested….
Stephen Hawking would be so proud!
Keep it goin D! Take control of this game now.
I’m not gonna say I called Perine having a break out game and separating himself from Ross, but I did kinda call Perine having a breaking out game and separating himself from Ross 😉
BOO! I’ma start calling you Garth, because you’re Shameless….
Ross the one hit wonder?, as long as Ross has room he can run.Samaje makes room!
Good call. But let’s keep Ross in there spelling him and returning some kicks. Ross might break one from scrimmage before this is over. Clearly Perine is destroying them. How many guys are out of the game because they tried to tackle him?
Perine was hidden behind Ford before (A bit), but now everyone in the country that didn’t know before, is learning what we all already knew. He is a beast
I dont know that he is going to give it back to Ford
Ford has more speed, so I think he’ll hang on . But I think he’ll replace Ross as “1b”.
FYI- TK has more receiving yards than rush yards. Yes, that is correct. Wow
That was the PERINE drive for 6!!!
Only thing about Perine is he doesnt always pick the right running lane as JY taught us. Except it doesnt matter what lane he picks!
That kid could win a Heisman before he leaves OU.
Dee
Perine is just gonna get better, too.
Right side of our line is crushing
Time for some DEFENSE. Time to take over the game
I wanna see a pick
Wow, was hoping that bounce would go to OUr guy.
OU is getting held like crazy by their o-line.
soft, soft, soft coverage. smh
We knew the secondary could be questionable coming in to the year, now we know.
I know, right? Is Brent Venables back on the OU sidelines?
get off the field
About time for a safety blitz, sack and forced fumble that we recover.
okay punt…will take it
Run it down their throats
+1000000000000
I say more Perine, who’s with me?
That would be me
This guy!
And then sneak in a pass to Bell 😉
https://twitter.com/justinmhite/status/513508740067127296
Hate to say it, but I called it before this guy…
I thought that was your twitter acct.
Oh my heart
If we put in Ross, i am going to (insert random phrase here)
They did it.
I grabbed a beer
https://twitter.com/GotBoz44/status/513509011014963200
Nice!
Samaje Perine
Need to get points
OK that was a good way to open Perine is Juggernaut. If we can score on this drive we can breathe a little easier.
Okay. Spread the field sideline to sideline and run the play action with SMASH in the I. After he gets a few more touches Knight should keep it for big SAFE yards. Time to expand the lead to 14!!! BOOMER!
Time to bring the wood
LOL, Ross!
Why?!
I don’t even
of course a three and out
Shep fell, what can you do? Would rather see us running some clock though.
You could run PERINE!
exactly. Third and 3, he gets four or five. No brainer.
Why is Perine not in?
SMH
Come on shep
Remember when we used to sub in chris brown for demarco murray excessively for no reason…
I remember when they both ran for a 1000 yards in 2008, but maybe I imagined that. SMH
One was clearly better than the other, not having demarco cost us th NC
Can’t do that personnel Heupel. Even I know better
so much for seizing the momentum
we borrowed it for a minute.
come on D, uhh let Perine rest?
of course had Ross broken one to the house I’d been happy
Oskie returned for a TD would do it!
i know Ross can score on any play but perine moves the pile and rests our defense….don’t get it.
third down pass to Shep was wide open if he doesn’t fall
I’m not so sure no.37 didn’t trip him
Perine will be back after his rest
Have we picked up a 1st down with Ross on the field. I’m sure we have, but there are a lot more 3 and outs
Keith Ford… please heal soon. Perine needs you. I need you.
Will we see Brooks in the 4th qtr
YO Q
thank you Hayes
Thank you Hayes
Hayes doesn’t help 6 for WVU
where is the pressure?!?
Hold em
yep. Trickett is anticipating the wrong stuff now….
Who returns punts if Shep is out?
Quick
Ross
gross…
f’ing horrible
Sanchez is loafing
too tricky for their own good
The D needs to be trying to strip the ball
stop or start?
Start, I’m not seeing them rip at it when they have someone stood up.
well it was a 3rd down stop
Good D stand,
Cmon Alex
Now is the time to prove we are NC worthy
or might win?
Bring back SMASH!
uhhhhh
well they do know how to call holding on us apparently
Heupel: Perine is unstoppable!!! Let’s go in a different direction.
Thing I like about Prine is that even when he’s met at the line, he’ll get you a couple.
Let Knight keep when the DE crashes in!
AAANNNDDD….
I hate that guy!
Knight needs to lead his receivers
WR’s are no muy bueno.
Should not have tried to force that one in there
no, but he should have led him more.
Needed that one.
Q!!!!
Knight is consistently throwing behind his receivers.
Hayes, helll yes
Ha, right back at ya!
Hayes!!!!
WOW
Did knight forget that he is allowed to run?
I’ve been wondering the same thing Ray.
PLEASE let Knight run the read option…PLEASE!!!!!
YO Q
HAYES!!!!!did not see that coming:)
Needed that.
they got some pressure finally
Daniel Brooks please.
I shop at Ross!
LOL!
Alex, Alex, Alex
Ross breaking tackles!
Not something I’m used to seeing!
YO Ross!!!
That a boy Ross
Ah, heck all our RBs are good!
Keep Running the ball
Shep is clearly not 100%
At least we’re in FG range…
Well, close anyway…
yeah, sheep seems a half step sow, he’s dinged
If alex only had some shake and bake
GRIND THEM DOWN! JH needs to yell pop, and pull his head out of his !@#$%
I still think these are all called gives
Now we’re behind the sticks
That was a big 1st down
nice read Trev
Liking me some KJ, the kid is growing up
Have we seen Steven Parker tonight?
Can he catch and run routes too ? 🙂
I’m loving kj
I haven’t seen parker
wow that was a hit
NOt a short yardage guy…
Keep running
KEEP the ball please, Trevor!
Have we seen flowers ?
Can Trevor not keep the ball just one time
Please let knight bootleg…..
Read option would be great here…
Let Knight keep a read play
nobodies good if they let everyone into the backfield like that
Cheezus F’ing Rice…
was that bell?
yup
Wow….
color me shocked
yes
How many times they gonna rip our helmet off and get away with it?
4 down territory
YES!!
FINALLY!!!!!
Facemask…grabbed the back of the helmet…I’ll take it! Go fighting refs!!!
finally!
they finally called a PF on WV
Keep Samje in and let Knight keep on one with a receiver rolling in front of him
they’ll recycle the Belldozer, but god forbid Trevor keep it on a zone read play
Exactly my thoughts.
They must be terrified of losing him
I’m terrified of losing him
me too
IMO, they should’ve thrown out of the Belldozer.
Says something about how they feel about the backups.
I remember reading the practice notes on here, before they got in trouble for posting the info. I remember K saying that those inside the program were talking about how Thomas and Hansen had “NFL career’s written all over them”….wha???
They both very well might. One red shirt freshman, other a true. Give them time.
Speaking of the bulldozer…. Please get him involved in the passing game
PLaying devil’s advocate, we cannot lose TK, have to roll with bell in that situation
In all fairness TK9 was hurt twice last year so there is precedence. His slide is also still not on point. It would be nice to give him a couple just so offenses have to account for it.
Time for a bootleg
I wish
We absolutely cannot afford to lose Knight
TK has to keep it to keep the D honest.
This is huge! Time killing drive that we need to finsh to get a 10 point lead
BLOCKING!
BOOMER!!!
unotuched, nuff said
PERINE!!!!!!! Tha tank is killing it
Beast. Mode.
little bit of breathing room. Need to come out nasty on D and not try to let up at all.
O-line killed it!
Perine is a stud! BOOM!
Defense is tired.
Their D is on the ropes. A stop here and we might put them away
Clearly they have no answer for Pgrind, so let’s stop using him…
that is scary dude running at you
that’s an ugly watch
LOL!
Perine is a MAN
Bulldozer!!!
WV lack of depth is showing. Get a stop we might be able to end this game.
Word
Kudos to Ross for starting that drive strong
Belldozer!!!
Clearly the OU coaches are reading this thread and adjusting. Ha ha
Get another stop D. Aggressive will win you this game
Gotta get another beer
Already?
Like water right now
Calling all DB’s….Anyone?
pick six, please.
Defense is going to shut them down
Sanchez is now a liability
I’m just saying they held us at the LOS but it wasn’t called.
at least try to sneaky about it dirty sanchez
a lot of folks will be a liability defending that guy
He has help over the top. That’s pretty irresponsible, imo.
Worst game of Sanchez’s career, yes?
Yes
resoundingly so
Agree. Not playing with good technique tonight
Yes. He’s been beat more than AD’s kids.
That’s overthe line man. Not cool.
Sorry. Couldn’t help myself.
Where are the Qb sacks?
Run d is good
We really haven’t unleashed “the striker” tonight
been in coverage alot
Looks like this will be the blueprint other teams follow moving forward…
Gotta find a way to let him do what he does best
Lots of shoulder tackling going on…
Moneycutt is the new all time scoring leader!
Booyah!
He’s a leg up on the competition.
guys on halftime show said, we to not blitz and play coverage. seems so
We shouldn’t have to blitz
WVU has been holding striker all game, no call.
Sr. QB can see the blitz and audible to the screen….already happened once. Striker and Geno staying home.
They need to surprise Trickett with some pressure. His receivers are pretty darn good.
Sanchez is playing worse tonight than Norman’s water tastes.
Defense looks uninspired tonight. Just don’t seem to have that fire they usually play with.
They’ve been neutralized. I think it’s more Holgo than our D.
I wish Mike would put a little more pressure on Trickett…
ON FIGHTING REFS!!!!!!
that was big
Huge!
Cant be too hard on Sanchez. He gives everything he has, up to his talents. He is just not fast or strong. He gets interceptions because teams arent afraid and challenge him. I would be surprised if he even runs a 4.65. He has heart, im a fan
Me too, a big fan.
It didn’t look like a facemask to me…
Looks like DGB is no comparison to White. Sanchez should be ready for this type of WR.
man, weak call even if it was in our favor
FINALLY!!
Tuck rule…
Nope.
BIG right there!
Arm was going forward looks like…
nope
Actually on watching it again definitely not.
nice!
put them away right now.
Huge play Grissom!!!
About damn time!
Just as I requested. Thank you.
Boomer freakin Sooner!!!!
NVM’!!!!! Big play genes!!!!!
Holy cow we finally got pressure and something good happened!
That is a fumble
Punch it in here and the game is over
Just keep feeding the rock to the monster.
D came up big when it counted
Neal, you’re not doing near good enough to cost us that much.
Killing ourselves.
Come on Durron, why do that….on a running play?
he started it
Don’t matter, we gotta be better than that.
It’s called discipline.
He punched us first
That’s what Mixon said
OOOhhhhhhh…..
Got ‘Em!
Whelp….
Massive words!
What was that throw?
arm punt
Disappointing
that was boondoggled from the jump
trainwreck after a fumble recovery
So much for making them pay for that turnover
2 nd an 5….
Should’ve got some points there.
Way to get the play in coach
Turnover meant nothing. Damn It!!
that one’s on Durron
That’s the second drive he’s killed tonight!
Missed opportunity on that drive, should have taken them out
To be fair, that was a weak penalty. Still should have done better though.
Wow! are we being exposed for not being disciplined in tight games?
Call a run play, punch them in the mouth. Line up and do it again!!
If I’m WV, I just keep throwing to White.
KInda like OU just handling the ball off to RB’s ? 🙂
Well, Perine, anyway!
Just like the Bama RB. We have no answer.
In the immortal words of Elmer Fudd… “Be wary wary quiet” They might hear you!
We are seeing how valuable Ford is to the passing game.
Where’s Flowers down the seam?
Or bell….
not doin it in practice maybe?
Don’t worry, I’m sure they are just being vanilla on offense so we don’t show our good stuff. / sarcasm.
LOL.
Time for the defense to BRING THE WOOD and finish off the ballgame
Bell is open for 7 or 8 about every pass play.
guys are open
D needs a 3 and out
more surprise pressure on Trik
A designed run for the booble head?!?!?!?!
Wow Sanchez….
Hey look Sanchez missed another tackle.
Sanchez is going to hurt himself tackling like that
That’s how he got hurt in the first place
We need the Boz to knock people backwards.
Is Sanchez incapable of wrapping up?!
I cannot fathom Sanchez playing any worse than he has tonight.
Sanchez and Trickett, two tiny men.
We have to get a stop
Correction can anyone in the secondary wrap someone up!
ok 26 can
They are only putting 2 receiivers in routes and we still can’t cover them
This can’t be stated enough.
Great play Evans
Anybody know why Wilson always giving a 7+ yard cushion?
Pure idiocy.
Jordan Evans is the best one on one tackler on the entire team!
This does not look like the defense I remember from the first 2 games…
It’s the unifirms
Evans so good in flat
holding
Sanchez can’t hold white
He can hold him, but he can’t cover him…
WTF 10 yard cusion on 3rd and 6?
All night
There O line is pushing us around
Run clock run
Q!!!!
Okay if its 3rd & 7 don’t play 9 yards off the ball. They are running 1 12 back to 8 comeback and saying can you tackle me?
Unfortunately the answer has been that we can’t tackle them
Hayes!
Hayes!
A blitze ?!?!
White can talk all the smack he wants, IMO. He has flat out owned Sanchez tonight.
yeah, but usually when we don’t get pressure and he has all day to work
Who’s down????
Who’s down?
who’s hurt?
who’s down?
who is hurt?
Striker?
Tapper down, not good.
$hit…
those guys are future NFL receivers. Tricketts been doing a great job of reading the blitzes and calling adjustments, but I think we’re fooling him some now…
at least our secondary is making them look that good
Looked like striker
Wish they would call the holding against WV I’m seeing
I hate tricketts face…he’s doing a good job it’s just his face I just want to punch it.
This.
LOLOLOLOL!
Agree, but the kid can play
We are stacking up key injuries in every game.
It’s tap I believe
Matt Damon…..i mean, Dimon to the rescue. No worries
OU’s official twitter saying it’s Tapper.
Anyone listening to the radio. Have they said who is down?
I think we’re showing Trickett one look and doing something else, it’s working
I hope Tapper just got shaken up on the play. Can’t lose him this year.
LSU lost!!
sec..sec…sec
lol..lol…lol
Let out the dogs
that was a base defense
4 down territory
Come on D we need a stop
Here we go
boomer
That cushion…smh…
am thinking Mike has been hiding secondary definicies this entire year…..
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO d
Great job D!!!!!
There we go
Exactly! OU ball!!
CHUKA!!!!
YES!!!
Time to lay the wood and end this. Keep the couches un-lit
Trickett was mauled!
Chuka!!
Chuka introducing himself to Trickett.
D.
We now need to just run out clock, and hope tapper is ok for next game
CHUUUKA!!
HUGE stop
Now let’s just ram this down their throats and use some clock…..and finish this off! Damn!
SAMAJE!
ChukaChukaChukaChuka CHOOCHOOO!!!!!!
Not on ice quiet yet but it’s going to be tough for WVU now….big stop!!
Any score wins this damn thing!
Any update on Tapper?
Heupel can keep his job if Perine is in.
I won’t go that far…
Neither will I, but I’ll be really disappointed if it’s Ross.
Glad everyone is all positive now 🙂
The problem was we were getting beat on several points. made us testy. still not over
Don’t look now, but this game isn’t as close as it’s felt. We’re up by over 10 points and it’s late. Let’s see a creative drive here to put it away.
Glad we got WV early, they are going to be a hand full down the road
They’re more than a handful now! LOL!
yep
Time for novacane – or Mr. Perine, that is.
Call the grave digger….
called
Time for a healthy dose of Perine
Run it down their throat now.
I don’t care whether it’s ball control passes or runs, but let’s see nice long drive and score here.
Points here and we can chalk up the win and get some dings healed up
Put the SMASH in and make cover defense from sideline to sideline with receivers
Just hold on to the ball
There’s one shovel load…
9 yards!
He has much better vision than ross
Nice block RIP
Nice! RIP and the Grave Digger on the field at the same time!!!
Blocking! Ripkowskit and the right side
Knight has that keeper for a TD
smh
For whatever reason they aren’t going to do it.
Knight keep
Why would a TE ever commit to OU?
To play Qb?
LOLOLOL! You’re full of ’em tonight, Ray!
Not one that wants to catch passes anyway
Defense end?
Can we just run the veer offense for the rest of the game?
ice this damn game, boys
Slams him at the end!
Run SMASH Run
Perine VS WV
Heh, heh, tired defense, and battering ram offense–perfect
Perine may be up there on Gurly’s level soon.
OVER 200!!!!!!!
Perine 209 yds, 3 TD’s
LOL Perine doing work!
Over 200 yds!
that is a man
Wow! Over 200 yards! SMASH!!!
Hulk smash
200 plus for Perine!!!!!!
We wore them down finally. TD coming up.
Knight needs to keep it and go
little play action?
Well this was certainly a tale of two halves.
You got that right
Look at that fan! LOL!
TD!!
TD
4 TDs
Boom
Man-child
BAM
BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!
Oh my. Perine!
That’s why we play for quarters
You play for quarters, I play for dollahs! LOL
Just saw that lol
Who was the last OU back to have 4 TDs and 200+?
Probably back in the wishbone days….right?
Quinton Griffin?
I know he has the record for td’s, but yards? Did he have a 200 yd game?
I’m not sure
230 yards and 3 TDs! Nice break out game SMASH!!!
Isn’t it 4 td’s?
This kid…he’s special…
Very special
PERINE SMASH!!!
We’ll just do that over and over again.
Would you say we played WVU better AT WVU than Bama did on a friendly field?
Yes
i think i have a man crush
I know I do!
Gritty physical win…. But to win it all TK and the passing game will have to be better IMO
I dig the play calling that drive
Nice win
We are a young team like others have said at skill positions. We needed a game like this. TK is going to use the word “adversity” 10000 times in post game interviews
Samaje.
Perine is just a beast!
His Perine a true freshman?
yeah
Yup.
YES, YES AND YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good, we get him at least three years
Second half looked so much better. TK9 has to have the freedom to pull it on the zone at some point to open the offense up though
If ESPN isn’t talking about Samashe, smh…
Doesn’t fit the agenda
Backfield next year: Ford, Perine, Ross, Mixon and Anderson. Wow
Great great night for Perine (and Ripkowski and the o line). But a couple of very important plays by Ross as well.
Kick return was HUGE!
Kickoff return was huge !!!!
Love when Desmond Howard is wrong.
As bad as the defense played in the first half, they have only given up 3 points the second half! And I like Kevin’s new nickname for samaji, SMASH!!!
Unleash the dogs!
Can’t watch the game, unfortunately…just caught up on what just happened. 7 straight Samaje runs = 65 yards + TD. Do we have a new All-Day?
I think Herbstreit is on his….umm… 3rd crow.
Spitting feathers!
they don’t make two big pass plays and this game is a “cartoon” score.
My hubby and I were students at OU during the Dupree year(s), and this performance tonite by Sammy is one of the best we’ve ever seen!!!
I Was there during the early 90’s thst was no bueno
being there in the late 90’s wasnt much fun either lol.
Hey D, we still need to play.
spoiler alert: we’re gonna run it.
Seems like WV Oline has had some holding, pushes in the back, etc. not called. Maybe it’s just me…..
Actually everyone’s been commenting on it all night, so you’re probably right.
I’ve seen several, especially on big Jordan
I would love to beat them worse than Alabama
1200
Are they trying to run the clock out?
Mike looks like a rabid dog!
Wow Sanchez…just…wow…
Sanchez, smh.
Come on guys!!!
God I hate playing in Morgantown!
It’s the Lubbock of the North.
Sanchez can hardly lift his arm up enough to wrap up
Or so the TV guys would have us believe.
going for 2 so they can tie with a td and fg
Sanchez is hurt and why is he still in there
that is the scary question if he this hurt the backup cannot play better?
Coaches need to tell hurt players that they are coming out. It shouldn’t be his choice.
agreed they are paid more than enough
Hopefully this next bye week will do him some good.
Sanchez is hurting pretty bad . No reason he needs to be in the game
Down 12 you should not go for 2
they’ll go after Sanchez on the 2 pt conv
Fucking rediculous!! Mike attack! Quit fucking playing scared!
Excuse my language.
Team needs to get a killer instinct and keep the pedal down
STRIKER! big hit!
Thank you Striker he needed that!
Striker had to remind White the score.
Man, when this is going to be a beauty contest in Dec, they aren’t going to remember OU’s second half dominance, they will only look at the score
If we win out it doesn’t matter.
Striker!
Get Sanchez off the damn field. If he’s better with one arm than any other CB, then I’m scared to death.
striker getting an earful
recover the onside kick and it’s game over
There was a conversion, but not for two! Striker made a mudhole!
I don’t think knight has to be perfect for this type of offense. Big RBs, huge O-line.. I do agree on his performance tonight. Not the best.. But playing on the road, this was a very tough game.. Great game Perine..
How much do you think Sanchez’s shoulder being tender effected his play?
A lot
Unfortunately, it will probably be that way all year
Well, we tried to give it to them…
WV played well at home.
good job Shepard
!nice save shep
Name 5 RB’s in CFB better than Perine?
I got nuthin
Maybe Gurly, maybe Ford. Not 5 guys.
Maybe that Henry kid at Bama
Maybe Yeldin at Bama also
The dude from Oregon maybe?
I missed the two point attempt…I’m guessing Striker abused someone?
REally it was good coverage, they tried to pass to somebody in the flat and we defended well
I would have kicked away from Shepherd
FSU Down 7 with 9 to go
why is perine still in the game?
uhhh he needs to be !
the days of the 30 carries for a back are n’t quite over, yet!!
Bob told the OC to get the ball out of TK’s hands and put it on the back of the Freshman.
Why isn’t Holgerson using his timeouts?
He got tired of seeing Perine truckin and decided to end the game as soon as possible.
Good time out. Strategery.
smart staying inbounds
Why is Perine sliding? HAHA
to stay in bounds
I know, it just looks funny.
you’ll have to excuse me, I’m a bit delirious at the moment. daughter is sick, been up since Friday morning.
Hope she feels better soon!
Thanks, me too.
Why is it Perine slides better than Trevor. Trevor needs to take notes.
Come on Samaje, get 11 more
5 tds for Perine?
Whew…
I think it wasn’t as close as it seemed
Maybe not, but it sure seemed like a nail biter!
I bet Texas Tech is crapping in their pants watching our 3rd strong running back get 230yd
You mean 240+, right?
Nice win in a tough stadium
BOOM
Congrats Bob on 100
Congratulations Bob on 100 regular season wins! !
Survive and advance.
ESPN Game Day crew….minus Corso, can suck a big one.
Hell yeah! And that goes for the guy on the set that picked against us too!!
Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUr boys had me scared as hell that first half, hell of a game though.
BOOMER!!!!
SOONER!!!
Oregon down 14-7 in the 2nd quarter. C’mon Leach!
Big freaking win. Enjoyed watching it w/ y’all!
Good times.
Glad to see we can fight our way out of a bad situation. BOOMER!
SOONER!
Oh, hell yes!
WVU may just be the second best team in the big 12. Really impressed with their WR crew and their QB. If we did not have Perrine there is no way we walk out of here tonight with a win.
And THAT;s how you go on the road into a hostile environment!!
that is positive outlook!
that’s spinning it positively! I was scared crapless!
Now please just don’t have a letdown vs Texas.
texsa dammit, texsa!
did I miss a meeting? i thought it was texass?
TEXASS called themselves texsa in their own media guide, they don’t read so good down there. HAHA!
haha, I miss a lot at my new job, I’ll use both of them from now on just to keep it fresh!
texass, ain’t it?
after this scare, no let down if the coaches are worth their pay
Overcome adversity. Check. BOOMER
sooner
Now let’s watch fsu and Oregon lose!!!!!
Go bv
Go leach
Okay, got that game out of the way!
Oh, and Perine. Beast.
Now to get a week off to get healthy and get ready for TCU and Texas.
Molly McGrath…mmmhmm…..
Soothing to the eyeballs, ain’t she?
She’s pretty shiny.
shaaaaaawing.
The bye week comes at the right time. Got some b00-b00s and soreness to deal with.
Samaje is well spoken too. He is really going to be something.
He is, and you could tell he was just a kid excited to be there! I loved it.
Samaje world, world Samaje take notice!
HUGE win for the good guys. Take a week off fellas…you’ve earned it!
except for JH , no time for you!!!! 🙂
West Virginia is probably the best 2 loss team in the country.
Any news on Tapper?
OMG….FSU just tied it….DB fell down and hit for 74 yards. Wow
The Patron Saint of couches came through.
that was good
My first post in thread. We are good. Perine is SPECIAL. We need Sanchez to get healthy dangit. TK9 would have killed them on zone read “option”. Seems like they are all designed hand-offs. I LOVE mauling people with our offensive line and SP32 handing out headaches.
think they are protecting TK9 i think I do not think he is allowed to keep and defenses are aware of that
GREAT WIN! Best offense we will see until baylor. D showed up in the second half and clamped down and made plays when needed! Proud of this team’. Bye week much needed to get some guys healthy, hopefully tap is ok…. We could really use dimon and walker back! The added depth and talent those guys bring to the field will be key during this stretch against TCU, texsa, and KSU!!
BOOMER!!!!!!!
On another note, the amount of activity thus site has, has tremendously slowed down my IPAD! TFB ROCKS
I installed a liquid cooling system on my laptop!
Ray, u brought ur A game tonight
Indeed!
Can Winston play in OT?
Hahahahahahah!! Wouldn’t surprise me if they trotted him out there!!
Ou has lost off bye weeks for three years in a row..
Tcu = trap
Nnnah.
We play off bye week three times this year….
Bye weeks in cfb is different than nfl…
TCU is dangerous, but I was far more concerned with this game than that one personally.
Me too, I had a bad feeling about this one.
what do the coaches do with 15!!!
Give him the week off next week and say do not do anything but get treatment on the shoulder.
I don’t think one week is gunna help, his shoulder is bad so he can’t tackle and he’s still getting beat deep.
Next man up than.
One DB should not be devastating.
You would be surprised how much it would help. Going through some PT and what not. I dealt with a similar thing in High School. And after going through some PT I felt quite a bit better. The thing about it is the thing that hurts the most is quick motions. Like trying to knock down a pass.
I’m sure it would help but, we need a fix or Baylor, oswho, will be licking their chops.
I think he should attend class
1351 Comments and counting impressive!
When was the last time OU had more rushing yards than passing?
damn it clemson
Perine is fourth on the all time rushing record for a freshman.
Damn!
I am buying a perine jersey. My fav sooner
….and Perine pajamas
In only his 4th game.
I could see him going over 300 against someone if the coaches allowed it.
and that’s saying something!
And we only 4 games in!
Did we have another freshman RB recruit???
I think his name is Mixon…
Berry getting some facetime.
I’m almost curious to see how little credit ESECPIN gives to OU and Perine tonight. But not curious enough to watch. It’s probably going to be all about Mizzou getting upset.
Samaje Perine is just unbelievable. I’m freakin speechless almost. Just….wow.
Clemson just got a pick!
Don’t. F$&k this up Clemson!!!!
they just did…fumble in the red zone
Too late!
they did
Smh man.
Seriously!!! Wtf
I don’t know, it’s almost like fsu made a deal with the devil
PICK! Now score Clemson
Stoops saying Tapper looks good. Was apparently just exhaustion.
Look at that dumb selfish face staring unto the field. (Winston)
Your team is going to lose because of you.
Let’s hear what espn has to say about that!
Damn it Clemson!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!!!! Damn u clemson
Any chance Knight is able to decide to keep it in the zone read this year? His choice, not just a designed give.
Maybe if Maysfield is deemed eligible ir when we have no other choice to be able to win.
I would hope they trust him enough to let him decide and then get down. He is such a weapon when he can use his legs! Insure hope they are setting this up for future opponents.
Man I hope so…he would kill people by keeping
OMG All you have to do is protect the ball and you win.
Tick tick tick fsu
Content to go to OT.
Are we goin ot?
Venables spotted.
We need a stats dept
Who has the edge here??
FSU wants to go into overtime, because Winston’s one game suspension will be over in their opinion *sarcasm*
Lol
Saw Jameis going to to locker room to suit up for OT….
Anyone get the tag number off the TRUCK that ran over a bunch of people out in West Virginia?
I believe it was SP32RB Oklahoma tags.
I believe you are correct. APB is out.
SMASH
I’m liking that new nickname for him Kevin! SMASH!
Heck I can’t spell his name half the time and he’s like the Hulk hitting people… Hulk SMASH! With all the people he keeps laying the hurt to it works well
Exactly what I was thinking! Samaje SMASH!!
Something like PerINe32
Just want to say the OU coaches did a great job of adjusting at halftime. Both offense and defense. Outscored WV 21-9
Clemson choking hardcore.
And their kicker looks like KSU’s kicker from Thursday night!!
was just about to say the same thing
Perine isn’t the only one who had a coming out party…….how bout Ross?……Heupel??? Trevor was calm and found his touch. The Sooners have 3 running back stars blooming. This D just doesn’t quit. Zack needs R & R, What a heart that guy has…………..
If Ross would be patient and wait for his hole, or hit the one given, he’d be an absolute beast. That will come with time. No denying how special he is in the return game!! I personally feel they need to get more receivers involved, or get bell and flowers involved in the passing game. All we heard all fall camp is how Quick was impressive, but he’s seen the field for maybe 5 snaps. Trevor needs to be a playmaker not a distributor for this team it be VERY successful. Shepard is a beast and Neal and Young are getting better, but they need to figure out a way to get these young guys some time. We hear it from the coaches, but no action. Kind of like what we hear about the tight end! This team is Special. I really believe it. If they take the reigns off Trevor, this could be a very special year.
Ross needs a shot at WR.
At least like to see more passes to him, pretty good hands.
Ross is pretty far behind the other two at RB IMO. His hips are extremely stiff so he can’t move laterally and his vision is sub par. Has excellent straight line speed for the return game just don’t like him in the backfield.
Wow! Clemson had it won. Wow!
cannot believe FSU pulled it out. Clemson let that one get away
It’s like Clemson doesn’t like winning big games.
We need to be more of a steady passing threat… Other than that… BOOMER!!!
WV had ZERO kickoff returns. Hodgson is impressive
And he would have recovered a kick, too, if someone else hadn’t booted it out of his way.
You’re right. He is solid. It was Franklin that accidentally hit it or he would’ve had the recovery.
Anyone watching the Oregon game, that’s why Knight needs to be able to run the ball!
I was but got the nieces over staying the night and they asked to watch Empire Strikes Back…was so proud had to give them the theatre! Ages 9 and 7…asking to watch Empire Strikes Back. Proud uncle!
Oh, a much better choice! Family comes first too, so no judgement here. I was just pointing out Mariota making about a 70 yd scramble. It was called back for holding, but the point still stands.
Dang I’d be proud too! My all time favorite movie haha
Did Bell even get a target tonight? What’s with that?
I agree. There were a number of opportunities where a short pass to Bell could have been very effective
Nope, and he was open on several 3rd and longs.
ran for a 1st down.
Washington State is destroying Oregon’s O-Line.
another sack by WSU
quote from The Smoking Musket, “Had the Oklahoma Sooners been kind enough to send the Mountaineers out back to select their own switch for the impending whoopin’, the gold and blue almost certainly could have picked anything less punishing than OU tailback Samaje Perine, who ran for an opponent record 242 yards on 34 carries and 4 scores. ” LOL
Hahahahaha thats awesome
Non OU big 12 game I’m reeeeeeaaaally looking forward to: WV and Baylor.
Over/Under of the game could be 115
Remember when they had that 70-63 game in 2012?
That one is hard to forget haha I could pick WV winning this year’s match up every week and sleep easy. Can’t wait to see it
I look forward to the TFB breakdown on the non-read non-option. Looked to me like TK has a huge night if they unleash him.
Ill say this. If all thos zone reads were designed rb runs Huepel needs fired. If they were true reads Knight blows at the zone read. If Knight keeps half of those zone reafs IMHO we score 14-21 more points. Someone needs a seripus a$$ chewing after that offensive performance on the qb side of things. Huepel or Knight need a fire lit up their ass because if je carries tje ball we bury W. Va in tje 1st jalf.
It wasn’t like we had a 21-point lead and were cruising. It was tight, and when you leave all those plays in the playbook you are really taking a chance. Guess they have tons of faith in the D, because it sure wasn’t looking like the O was pulling out all of the stops.
I agree. Ill let JY or K decide whether or not they were designed keeps. But if they werent then Knight is terrible at the zone read and it should be omitted from the playbook. If that was designed then Huepel needs to go. Knight scores at least twice keeping the ball.
TK didnt degress at the zone read since last season. its quite clear he’s not permitted to run in order to stay healthy. we have no suitable backup qb. if tk goes down, so does the season
Then take the play out of the playbook. It is stupid to run a play designed for the quarterback to keep or handoff based on his read of an unblocked player if the quarterback is told to never keep it. Why keep running it? You are setting the offense up to fail. If you had a quarterback who was just terrible at throwing deep passes so badly that you tell him not to throw any passes over 12 yards, you wouldn’t constantly call pass plays where every receiver is supposed to run go routs.
They looked like zone read plays and it looked like Trevor made the wrong read when he should have kept it many times. It is perplexing to say the least. Either Trevor sucks at it or our coaches suck at coaching it. I don’t think any our our offensive coaching staff has come from a zone read offense. Spread and Air Raid yes, option no.
The O- line was chanting all day for Samage Perine in the 4th qt
Q. Hayes is quietly having good season…with so many other talented players on defense.
I have to say, I was a detractor last season, but he’s been very impressive so far. I don’t think he’s been scored on yet, which is more than anyone else in our secondary can say.
Like Drew below I wasn’t a big dan of Hayes last year but more and more he is reminding me of Javon Harris who had a sub-par Junior season but foloowed it with a Great Senior Season and the same couold be said for Gabe Lynn. Happy to admit I was wrong about Hayes and congradulate him on a Great Start to the Season!
…….the number of comments must be a record, I would think……..
Let’s try to get 553 more by tomorrow morning…
Could you imagine showing up late to the thread and trying to read through the whole thing? May as well set an entire day aside!
It’s pretty much a novel at this point. I’m still sitting here watching football.
Being pretty shocked Oregon hasn’t murdered Wash St. at this point.
Wash St. just got screwed by refs at Oregon . . . know the feeling.
Yup.
Best comment of the thread right here!
Thanks. That game happened in like ’06 right? I was only 12 at the time, and I’m still incredibly bitter about that game. Might have been the first time where something I was passionate about got truly cheated out of on a large scale. So you’ll notice me bringing that up a lot lol.
The Oregon game? OREGON!!??!!
Slowly I turned…step by step…
. . . what was that?
It’s an old skit by Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges.
To me, saying “Oregon” is like saying “Niagara Falls,” I become deranged.
Hey there friend!
Hello there!
I purposefully stayed away from the game thread this evening because had to visit a freind that is in the Hospital and I thought I would glance through the highlights when I got home. WRONG!!!!! LOL!
I don’t like FSU at all, but if them winning keeps 2 SEC teams from making the playoffs I hope they keep winning
Would LOVE to put them in their place with the country watching. Bring on the Noles!
Holakyle has the video up. Dude is awesome
Chip Viney tweeted this out. Thought it was pretty sweet:

Ross needs to work on some things so that he is able to contribute to the running game early in the game. I think they can misdirection plays and screens/sweeps and he would be successful but between the tackles he’s not there yet. However late in games the switching between ross and perine looked like it worked well so until ford is back healthy I would like to see them alternate those 2 when the defenses are worn out. Ross needs to be on the field just not always as a tailback.
I wonder how he do as a fullback? I know he is kind of light for the prototype fullback but he could be good at those quick hitters or faking it to him and he slip through the middle and get open for a pass.
I don’t think he’s a terribly good blocker though. Could be wrong, but regardless, I think he’d be fantastic as a WR. We’re having some troubles there anyway, and you always want someone with his speed on the field. I can see plays where handing him the ball out of the slot (like we did w/ Sheperd last year) doing some serious damage.
Early on Ross was stopping his feet as soon as he got hit, as in previous games.
Later in the game he was actually keeping his feet moving after contact and he ran harder. Would like to see more of that from Ross.
Yep, I’ve said it before but Ross runs like Demarco, after Demarco was coming back from his knee injury. But late in the game he was running like Ford. Much different.
Why isn’t anyone commenting on this Game Thread? LOL!
Well I think Josh Heupal actually called a GREAT game! I didn’t think so while I was watching but upon further review, all thoses middle runs they ran in the first half started taking there toll in the 4th quarter and we just ran right over them on the last couple drives. Takes patience to call that kind of game but Perine was a BEAST and in the past when we got down Heupal would have gotten away from the running game and it has caused us trouble but this time we just kept pounding the rock until we crushed them into pea gravel! ALL DAY!
Good observations. I think the passing game handcuffed Huepel a bit. Neal and shepherd had some shocking misses. The incompletion in the first or second drive of the game where Knight threw behind a Shep looked like he expected Shep to settle into the open space and instead Shep kept going on his route.
Those run plays up the middle likely wouldn’t have worked with Ross being the ball carrier. Perine displayed amazing patience to let the blocking develop before hitting another gear. Heupel did a good job calling the plays that the o-line and Perine were best suited.
First chance we’ve really had to see Tank get in rhythm. It is surprising how fluid he is in the hips and able to change direction. Quick feet, good vision. Behind a veteran oline, this should open up a lot of possibilities especially if the receivers stop dropping balls and TK can slow down and find the open guy. This offense is on the verge of going nuclear.
It also looked as though he was trying to lead Shep with that missed pass (albeit in the opposite direction). Had Shep been able to get his momentum going the way of the pass, he had a ton of room to run.
I think part of the plan was to loosen them up with surgical passes early and on running downs, and then wear them down with the running game as the game progressed. Worked pretty well.

Sorry the product of a long long day! Thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed this pick of Smashe P. Grindhouse pummelling #37.
Instead of playing with “dirt” #37 was forced to eat it on this TD run.
Samaje to douchebag: “Grab my helmet, go ahead make my day.”
Douchebag: Sorry, sir…
I am SICK and TIRED of the ESECPN hate talk, BUT the #4 team in the country just had a TRUE freshman rush for 242 yards and 4 TD’s on the road in a hostile environment and you have to go digging on ESPN’s website to find anything about it. Any other top 10 team, and it would the headline.
Which is the reason for the ESECPN hate talk…
I saw a comment somewhere that said ” Alabama beats wVu by 10, and wVu is “much improved”. OU beats them by 12 (counting a garbage time td) in Morgantown, and they “survive” against wVu”. Well said…
That’s a good example that I would have not noticed- OU has a close game and it’s hanging on, SEC team has a close a game and they marvel about the opponent.
Subliminal messaging…
Subliminal means it is operating below the threshold of consciousness, so I would just call it what Coach Bob does…propaganda.
Not to mention Howard picked wvu and acted like it wouldn’t be close. And Herbstreit picked wvu too
Herbie listed us number 1 on his bracket, after the game.
I saw that I don’t think Herbstreit is bad and I don’t think he’s trying to put ou down. He’s been very complimentary of ou so far. He did say striker might/should be in NYC for the heisman ceremony. I don’t know that striker will end up with the numbers but he does have the impact. Has he said anything about Hayes? Because I think Hayes is having a great year so far and it’s funny how everyone wanted him to be benched.
Do you have a link for that by chance?
Keep us motivated and ranked #4, but we are the #1 team in the country.
It’s Sunday, Sept. 21. This is the day to officially kick off a “Free Trevor Knight” petition. Who’s in?
Where do I sign?
Damn straight!
How tired did everyone get of seeing Trickett on the sidelines in the first half laughing and acting like a bitch? Well, I didn’t see that anymore after halftime. It was especially rewarding when Ndulue drove him into the turf. Boomer Sooner!
Yeah, but he wasn’t laughing very much after Chuka introduced himself.
Was thinking the exact same thing. From the beginning these guys acted like they had the game won. Even their coach supposedly said he felt sure they were better than us in every phase except for maybe the D-line. Talk about presumptuous. WVU is very good, particularly on offense, and going to Morgantown is never easy. But to see their attitude last night, you’d think they figured OU for a paper tiger. One honestly wonders what in the world could have made them think such things.
Ask Desmond Howard and Kirk Herbstreit….
Did we not recruit Howard or somehow hurt his wittle feewings? He seems to have a bit of a spur in his butt toward us and his alma mater stinks going on a solid decade now
Envy.
Cale Gundy deserves SO much more credit than he gets.
If we are “returning to a more physical attack” like all the announcers keep spewing… Why isnt Cale the OC??? I would think Cale has a tad more experience than JH….
I don’t know that Cale wants the OC job. Or at least he may not have when heupel and norvell became co OC.
I would love to see Cale become OC!
My biggest takeaway from last night’s game: WVU has way too many dirty players. Glad Perine did his talking with his pads. Classy kid.
Not in the nationwide coverage, but in the Big 12 blog Chatmon did post this gem:
Perine rushed 34 times for 242 punishing yards, each one taking a toll on every Mountaineer who tried to bring him down. By the time he finished off his fourth touchdown run of the game, West Virginia seemed almost completely unwilling to take him on, and the Sooners definitely took notice as defenders continually lowered their sights on him after getting trucked repeatedly by the 243-pounder.
That’s good stuff, there.
man i was worried the sooners alternate uni’s would be a jinx but as we can see they weren’t. I know Bob Stoops is a very superstitious person making the schools keep Bob Barry since they won the Title in 2000. so do we wear the uni’s every game on the road now?
Glad to see Young show up in the stat sheet a bit. We need that to go where we want to go.
