This Sooner-from-St. Louis is in Norman and going to the game! I don’t even want to consider us losing … It’ll ruin my 14 hour round trip of driving. 23-19 OU today.
Unfortunately, while this day is beautiful, they’re not havin’ a good game, but– of course– there’s still 10 min lefts.. Let look at my television, and…. they scored. 30-31
I’m pretty sure Knight will do great today…also I think the reason he’s been playing safe is because of our back up QB situation…but can’t take losses just to keep him healthy!
As an ordained worship/youth/college minister and die hard OU fan…I will volunteer to be the team chaplain from now on. No one is perfect, but that’s certainly a sad situation…hope he gets it all straight and settled soon
The announcing crew had the guts to show it and say “that’s a view shared by many” before cutting away to our guys walking to the field moments later after commenting on one other sign.
I hope so, but as much as I love our coaching staff they have shown that they are very stubborn when it comes to changing the personal much. At least that’s the way it looks to me. So, unfortunately I kinda doubt it.
Norvell has no problem putting in guys that deserve to play. Definitely need to see what Quick can do with the ball in his hands……so they need to get him the ball. Gotta have some other options besides Shep at this point.
a little long, but decent read. its cool that he’s getting the notoriety he should be getting, and his name is synonymous with some pretty great names, but i just hate that again its espn pretty much taking one of our guys and saying he’s doomed for sure. there’s some science to it, but you don’t have any clue how its gonna effect demarco til it happens to demarco.
Changed our dang baseball game today from 4pm to 2pm, so gonna miss the last half of the game…..again. This game really makes me nervous. KSU is well coached and disciplined. Gotta contain Waters and Lockett and be very efficient on offense to win this one.
they didn’t make the 2nd 1st down, but I liked their playcalling. tk made a mistake on his run, should have taken what they gave him, but i liked the playcalling
cody thomas can pass, but i liked his running ability in the red/white game. not a tk, but he was better than I thought. had good quickness. not a bad runner at all
im guessing if TK keeps struggling.. Bob will end up saying TK was “hurt more than we thought” and give Thomas a chance. Anyone remember last years start to season? 2 games in (or however many it was..) and Bob switched QB’s to Bell because of how bad TK was struggling, then said TK had and injury all the sudden to “ease” the benching.
His type of injury is much harder to detect however. Unless he starts licking the glass up in the booth he’s pretty much in the clear from being sacked.
It is. Don’t throw that ball. There is probably a combo route that turns the WR up the field if the DB jumps the out. It would have been open. All Knight had to do is pump the out, and he’d have a wide open throw.
Yes. KSU did a run/pass play for a TD, after Thomas came in for Knight who was hurt and led the team down the field for a Perine TD. KSU got a 1 yard pick 6 to go up 14-7. OU ran two plays….a pass to Bell and then a pass to Shep for a TD. 14-14
well give heupel credit. if you guys are going to criticize him, give him credit too. i don’t think OU has EVER had an OC that OU fans liked. same in HS. I’ve never seen it. personally, i think our defense lost the tcu game and played poorly against ut. ku played ut better than we did. but DC never gets criticized for a bad alienment like an oc does.
mangino hurt us. OL didn’t like to come here and they left when they were here. mangino was hated by the team. there’s a reason stoops didn’t invite him back when he replaced OL coach–a good reason
I agree. i hate the way stoops has called D the last 3 games. totally different than the first games. i don’t understand why. we’ve scored enough points to win easily but our D has changed for some reason
Agreed. But I meant more like Mike is playcalling like he is afraid of the “tougher” competition now, instead of attacking like he did against “weaker” comp.. that wasn’t clear in my previous comment though.. my bad.
Not sure I understand the play calling comments…some good, some not good… and we just have to burn our last time out because of looking to the sideline. I don’t agree
Hahaha, the coaching as a whole is so pathetic. I don’t understand why Stoops hasn’t taken control of the O-coordinator issues. And good ole Trevor, he picks who he’s throwing the ball to before the ball snaps, it doesn’t matter if that player is triple teamed, hes not going to look around the field for anyone else, he WILL throw to that triple covered guy.
I would hope, and think, that most of us are glad to hear that! We all want our QB to succeed, whoever that may be! I’m certainly happy to see him have a good game. Lets hope it continues
We have some good young receivers, but they chose not to play them for some reason. Now we are forced to with shep out. This might be a blessing in disguise for this team. Time for some new faces to make plays. Can’t rely on #3 anymore
what the negative nellies don’t understand is he is the only one to get open and catch the ball consistently. kind of 2 important factors to being a wr
every qb has their favorite guy. what would stafford be without calvin? what would brees be without graham? what would brady be without gronk? all 3 are awesome qb’s but have their favorite guy they look for all the time…why? because they can trust them and they catch the ball and get open. does tk have flaws? yes, but so do all the wr’s outside of shep. they just aren’t consistent enough….yet
To be fair, we aren’t going 3 and 4 wide anywhere near as much as we have in past years. If you have 2-3 WR’s on a given play, and Shepard is one of them, there isn’t a lot of PT to go around. They put Quick in for Young. I’m not sure Neal has done enough to be replaced yet.
O should have scored 20 pts, and D given up 14. disappointed in D b/c there were 3rd and long conversions on the drives for TDs. if they just went down and scored, i can kind of live with that, but 3rd and long TD and 1st downs drive me crazy. No pressure at times, let them behind you in end zone in red zone when you do play 8 back. THOSE drive me crazy. O made one terrible play (TK did). But not disappointed with O game plan to drive to 4 scores (if make FG) in one half against a very good team.
Hope our O doesn’t do like last 2 games. We’ve only played on good half. Against TCU, good 1st half, terrible 2nd (except 1st drive of second). Against UT terrible 1st half, good 2nd half. I look for scoring to be a premium in 2nd half with adjustments made by Ds at half. I think if we tie or win the TO game, we win this game. KSU leads in that department and the game.
If Knights good play continues, Heupel’s good calls continues, and we win.. Bob is going to have fun with the reporters on monday 😉 Well, for the offense anyway. not sure about the D yet..
Our D sucks. One trick pony. When they can pin their ears back and rush the passer, they look decent. Other than that, average at best. Sheesh. So disappointing given the talent on that side of the ball.
Our defense is a joke. Just horrible. Our defense has been bad the last few years. Even the Bama win we gave up 31 points and over 500 yards. Not getting it done. It just has been overlooked because our offense in the past was scoring points.
The stupidity of rushing three guys against a max protect and KSU still having guys relatively wide open just defies every semblance of logic on this planet (or any other)
Someone put a lock on the booth door so JH has to call plays on the sideline! The NFL OC somnebow manage it. Pretty sure JH can. Saves us timeouts every game! Not to mention it will stop TK looking so clueless. Ruijns tempo and rhythm.
you can criticize heupel all you want, but I have nothing i’d criticize him about today. not going to be perfect, obviously, but this is against a good team. the one play i put on tk. heupel can’t tell him not to throw a ball after a snap is made. tk has to see that
My issue with Heupel is where he suits and calls plays. It doesn’t let him coach his QB and it has to be a major cause for the bad clock management and burning of timeouts unnecessarily.
we’ve scored enough to win this game. I say D mainly and missed FGs and extra pts. Not heupel today. Last two games, I don’t like play calling. not today so far
Did anyone notice the hit towards the cameraman? I’m curious: If a cameraman is hit, and his camera gets broken is it just broken, or does someone have to pay for it other than the cameraman?.
Rip ejected, Shep hurt, Blake hurt, TK throws a pick 6, a trick play red zone INT in their end zone, miss two chip shot FG’s, extra pt blocked, Perine hurt… sheeshamanetly!!
This OU team is absolutely terrible. Hunnicut …. What the hell? Play with Neal throwing when the offense was rolling? Wilson couldn’t cover a fire hydrant.
They aren’t terrible. We played much better than we did last week, and probably better overall than we did against TCU. Just had a couple of really dumb plays. The interception. The missed FG’s. The missed extra point. We simply don’t throw the pick and make a FG, and we win and cover the Vegas line.
thought 2nd half D played mainly okay. have to give credit to ksu too you know. thought O played well all day except 2 passes. kicking game lost the game mainly though, obviously
This is what a good (KSU’s) staff does, takes what the other team is giving. We arguably lost this in several ways- a few poor calls and some bad kicks and some good plays by KSU.
I’m sick of this crap! We under achieve with a very talented team!!! Helpless had a great game, but mike stoops needs a reality check. He has sucked ass the past 4 games. Yes I’m including the first half of West Virginia!!!! This team loses another 2-3 games if mstoops doesn’t figure out that striker is the best pass rusher in the country and the this secondary sucks ass
The funny thing is, we COULD still tie for the Big 12 if things go right. One of those things being WVU beating Baylor today. KSU is going to lose at least once, they might get a second. TCU will likely lose again. If Baylor were to lose today, we could give them a 2nd loss. Long shot. Not something I’m really worried about. Just saying it’s possible. I said on here the other day that there isn’t much of a difference between OU, Baylor, KSU, and TCU. And WVU and possibly OSU aren’t far behind that.
And the dropped passes and the six or so lobotomies rendered every week and the wth play calls like the one with Neal and a kicker that looked like me trying to kick a soccer ball and the stupid idea of not rushing striker and…..
I think when a team has won a couple of national championships over the last three or so years they can get by the national embarrassment. The only reason that game was the shocker it was was because OU is the team that usual,y blows it out their butt.
We still have Baylor and our in-state rivals…we could have more home losses this year than in a long time if we cant find some moxey (players and coaches).
I seriously doubted our chances of going to the 4-team play-off anyway and am glad to see the O improving against a good D. Play calls were light-years better but the D continues to regress- gotta take a long look at things schematically on D- adapt for each opponent.
not a fanatic for any, just like the sport and playoffs esp….. like several, overall the rangers…….lived near dallas for several yrs and would like to see the stars get back in the mix after showing some life last yr
Agreed. Coaching wasn’t the problem today. Knight is coached not to make that throw. Neal is coached not to make that throw. Our kicker is coached to not suck. The D, while the end result wasn’t great, really only had a couple of really terrible plays.
Like I said below, we win and cover if our kicker simply shows up. Let alone the two int’s.
well, not surprised at the loss but sure am the way it played out………as bad as we were at times it was ours to lose……3 red zones and 0 points……..just hope the players don’t pack it in for the yr
Ok it still comes down to play calling at critical situations the pic6, the int, the third down on the goal line, EVERYBODY knew who was getting the ball.
of course no one can explain missed extra pts, FGs (that were basically extra pt distance). But other than that, believe it or not, I was very plsed with how OU played outside a few plays. The O looked like they can play now, lots of short passes, which forces opponents play safety back and opens up run. Thought O played very well for most part against a very good team. good game plan and play calling by Heupel. Don’t put the 2 int on Heupel. On D, my main criticism is only rushing 3 too many times, esp on 3rd and long, AND letting opponents get behind us when we do have 8 back.
Sorry…I have to put the 2 int on Heupel. He called the plays with a low percentage of success. I can see a double move on the first int if you trust your protection, but an out to the field side with a corner in man principles. Inside the red zone with good offensive momentum and you call a trick play against a defense that hasn’t really stop your normal sets? 14 point swing is on the Huep man and his assistants and co coordinator for not asking him…are you crazy? Might have worked if they hadn’t shown the very same look to the opposite side (before the penalty) to alert the Defensive coaches on the next tendency… When is the next bye?
I’ve always had a dislike for his knack of hiring “friends and family”. I
think Mike has some good ideas but he rarely has a contingency in
place- so we see opponents continue to exploit the weaknesses we present
in his schemes.
I’m gonna go out there and just say that we need
new direction from both our O and D coordinators (JH did redeem himself
a bit today but he needs to continue on to prove it wasnt just a flash
in the pan).
play call on pick 6 was pretty hardcore bad too. He could have faked out and pumped, and had dude turn up field for an easy burn. Double move call was needed.
radio asked Bob.. what’d you say to Hunnicut after? “I put my arm around him, and told him I Loved him.” This I like. Kudos to Bob for that. Certainly can’t blame Hunnicut for everything..
Hmmm. Wasn’t like he was asked to kick two fifty yarders to win the game. Your a senior and four year letterman and screw up two chip shots. Hope bobby tells hem he’s got some work to do.
Agreed. But dude has won several for us too. He’s been so good for so long, people forget we used to have these issues a lot more before him. But, again, I agree. I just dont want to see media and fans jump all over him, when the pick 6 essentially covers all hunnicuts missed pts..
We quit attacking on D these past 3 weeks. AThomas still getting burned and no change, still only rushing 3 on 3rd down, still predictable on O play calling when it matters, we don’t learn and never will.
To protect the secondary, u attack as much as u can. I think we tried to get too cute and ended up killing ourselves! And we have a member of the secondRy who is totally clueless amd can’t make a play to save his life (13).
I don’t understand your comment. Regressed from when? Last year? No, we are better on D than we were last year. From the first three games? Well, maybe that is b/c LA Tech, Tulsa, and Tenn have crappy offenses, and TCU and KSU do not?
1. clock management
2. 2 missed field goals
3. blocked extra points
4. interception pick 6 on our goal line
5. trick play reverse-bad decision to pass for interception in end zone
6. 1st and goal- 3 straight runs with Perine (who seemed hurt). Snyder knew what OU would do so he sent in extra defensive tackles.
7. lack of attempts on rushing the passer
8. Qb’s are looking great when they play OU
9. Since 2 week lay-off OU is 1-2
10. injuries are a great concern
11. Looking forward to Stoops take during his press conference
12 After all that I am still a big OU fan-just 2 field goals away from being undefeated.
If I could make a bet, I would bet Stoops says it was bad execution again this week. And for the first time I agree with him. You can’t make that throw that turned into a pick 6, you can’t throw the ball on that reverse, and you can not miss 2 field goals and an extra point.
BS has stated that championships are the goals he has set.
This is OU and standards of the football program and the high expectations come with the territory.
BOOMER!
The Big 12 looks like it will come down to the wire…Baylor will beat KSU…I think pretty handily….OSU will most likely lose to TCU….KSU OSU toss up…. Baylor OSU…lots left to determine the winner here….I don’t think there will be a Big12 team in the playoff this year… unless the SEC and ACC continue to shuffle in the same manner the Big12 does… This year of CFB feels more like an NFL season…
Looks like okstate is playing the type of defense against TCU we should have (which everyone thought we would) played against TCU..oh my God! it must be bad…im actually watching OSWho…ok…time to change this…
it’s sadly interesting that the last 2 times for kst in norman, they won playing a solid game and ou contributed with screw ups that spelled defeat vs probable wins

I have a feeling our Sooners will play a complete game today. Knight will silence the critics. Boomer Sooner!
Got some company business this morning, hope to catch the second half. Thank God for DVR’s. BOOMER!
I feel you! Working 7-3. Hoping to find a good stream of the game and be just a little slow this morning!
This Sooner-from-St. Louis is in Norman and going to the game! I don’t even want to consider us losing … It’ll ruin my 14 hour round trip of driving. 23-19 OU today.
Let’s have a good game today on this beautiful Saturday, Sooners! BOOMER!
SOONER!
Unfortunately, while this day is beautiful, they’re not havin’ a good game, but– of course– there’s still 10 min lefts.. Let look at my television, and…. they scored. 30-31
Time to skin some cats!!
Expecting the team and the homecoming crowd to be fired up.
Expecting a win.
Just a random thought…is DGB still around and do we expect him to play next year?
Yes he is still around, and I believe he will stick around and play next year.
I’m pretty sure Knight will do great today…also I think the reason he’s been playing safe is because of our back up QB situation…but can’t take losses just to keep him healthy!
As an ordained worship/youth/college minister and die hard OU fan…I will volunteer to be the team chaplain from now on. No one is perfect, but that’s certainly a sad situation…hope he gets it all straight and settled soon
Truly sad.
The evil one is always testing our weaknesses.
We all have our demons to deal with. We all hope to defeat those demons but within every war there is seperate battles. Nobody’s perfect.
What is this in reference to? Been out of the country not sure what’s happened.
OU chaplain was arrested.

BOOMER
Looking for the attacking Defense today
Got a good feeling!
Really hoping to see Quick and Smallwood get some extensive PT today!
I would like to see us get some of the big WR’s out there.
It’s the illusion… of having big wide receivers.
Best. Gameday sign. EVER.
http://i.imgur.com/SyPyKc8.jpg
i’ve seen a lot of stuff in my lfe but…that…is….awesome
The announcing crew had the guts to show it and say “that’s a view shared by many” before cutting away to our guys walking to the field moments later after commenting on one other sign.
shared by everybody but you guys and your blind followers
Nailed it!
I hate Swype text sometimes lol
Anyone else think that Quick will start over K.J.?
I hope so, but as much as I love our coaching staff they have shown that they are very stubborn when it comes to changing the personal much. At least that’s the way it looks to me. So, unfortunately I kinda doubt it.
I would have to go back and watch it, but after Young dropped the out route I didn’t see him back on the field.
Norvell has no problem putting in guys that deserve to play. Definitely need to see what Quick can do with the ball in his hands……so they need to get him the ball. Gotta have some other options besides Shep at this point.
Would also love to see Mead on 10 fly routes…try and hit a couple of em..
a little long, but decent read. its cool that he’s getting the notoriety he should be getting, and his name is synonymous with some pretty great names, but i just hate that again its espn pretty much taking one of our guys and saying he’s doomed for sure. there’s some science to it, but you don’t have any clue how its gonna effect demarco til it happens to demarco.

IT IS GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!!!
BOOOOOOMER!!!!!!!!
S00000000NER!!!!
Changed our dang baseball game today from 4pm to 2pm, so gonna miss the last half of the game…..again. This game really makes me nervous. KSU is well coached and disciplined. Gotta contain Waters and Lockett and be very efficient on offense to win this one.
Anyone catch that interview on Gameday with Stoops?

Good morning all. Late riser here after a very ummm late night:-)
Boomer!!
Updated the visitor list w/ a couple more names this morning.
https://thefootballbrainiacs.com/ou-oklahoma-sooners-football-recruiting-ksu-kansas-state-weekend-visitor-list
BOOMER!!
Hi rickety whoop te do!
As expected, Matt Dimon is dressed out and ready to go. Walker, Ford & Woods all still out.
I think I was one week late on my prediction from the summer which was perine would be the starter by the texas game.
Game will start as soon as GameDay is over. No 10-15 minute buffer zone this week, fwiw.
Ball First! Lets SHOVE it down their throats!!
OU getting the ball first
Here we go
BOOMER!!
SOONER!!
Good sign early
Cut UP the field!!
Jeez, you think they knew that was coming?
That looked like it had to be by design, since he threw it so quickly. KSU sniffed that out.
i don’t mind it if he’ll set something up off it later
very true
McNamara was open had knight just waited 2 sec
That had to be a designed throw to Perine since it was so quick of a throw.
they didn’t make the 2nd 1st down, but I liked their playcalling. tk made a mistake on his run, should have taken what they gave him, but i liked the playcalling
Flowers, Quick & Parker all started today
that’s interesting. all 3
Quick is fast. Would be great to get him on the slot today but gut tells me that probably wont happen with JHs brilliance
Let’s hold em
Now press here
Oh yeah!
jab for jab. Time for a left hook by the Sooners!
3rd down stop, whaddya know
Nice to get a stop on Defense early on.
+1000
First time in a over a month that OU didn’t allow the opponent to score on their first drive I believe. Correct?
Something to do with being at home again probably… So much more stout at home.
Can I call a Blake bell td in this drive?
Quick!
THAT WAS QUICK!! Would love to see that on a fast TD.
Where the f are the blocks on the outside?!?
first catch for quick!
i like 3 or 4 yds on 1st down
And 3rd and 1 and not 7 or 8
kevin willson always wanted at least 3 or 4 yds on 1st. keeps whole play book open
I hate the Belldozer
at least it gives Bell something to do.. lol
Belldozer!
BELLDOZER!!
I’ll give it up to Heupel, he’s doing a lot of the stuff I wanted to see today.
Uh oh
diamond formation!!!???? yay! something besides pistol. wait, is this OU’s offense?
Knight’s hurt……
Ouch..
Thomas in. wow.
sorry, listening to radio.. Was that a knight run? or …
And now expect Rip to get ejected
Rip ejected?
All in one play. Wow.
Thomas. Flowers. Perine. Quick. Youngsters got to get it done today folks!
Damn, Rip is gone…….Had Meuller not ducked down, he would have hit him just fine. Hopefully this gets over turned, but not looking good.
kinda hard to get your head outta the way and hit with shoulder when mueller leads with his head cause he’s off balance
Gut check time!!
b – FREAKING – s!!!
I thought the penalty was going to be on the guy who tackled tk
Well that’s a great way to get going!
run heavy now
i hope they do. Run, and play action baby!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
time for cody thomas to show he belongs in there… good to see the ground game helping him get adjusted
10-10 147 yd start with 2 td’s would be nice! lol
Adversity
if people can bash heuple i can give him a nod for the playbook this week….so far
absolutely! So far..
Amen
ditto
Finally mixing it up
1st downs are good! Eat clock and gets Trevor back before we do too bad
Im kind of excited to see what Thomas can do. But definitely hope knights okay.
keep churning boys
love when replays show great blocks and the announcers notice and talk about it
nice son
Man, I was hoping he would have taken that in.
Play action Td pass to bell??
Just how Heup drew it up
be nice if the defense obliged every time!
can we leave thomas in the game?
PERINE!!!
I’ll take that drive all f’ing day
PERINE!!! AND Knight is running back in!
:/
He’s about to lose his job so I would be a runnin too
any penalty on td and ep should be added on kick off
Love how Thomas was the first guy to get to him. Kind of cool seeing #14 out there again too.
cody thomas can pass, but i liked his running ability in the red/white game. not a tk, but he was better than I thought. had good quickness. not a bad runner at all
That run he had was very manziel/favre like. I like when a qb can improvise.
That’s HUGE from Hodgson
Nice weapon to have. Hopefully Seibert can take up right where Hodgson leaves off next year.
Well, if knight struggles, AT ALL, fans will certainly be calling for Thomas now. If they weren’t already… Backup QB fever?
Some really interesting wrinkles added. Cody did a GREAT job handling that snap and improvising FORWARD!!
🙁
Why is Ahmad Thomas still playing?
They did that earlier as well. Crap
The Run/pass look is scary from KSU
what, I walked away for a minute? what happened??
Busted coverage for OU…again.
Time for Parker!
Run look and then pass by Waters to little GRonk for a TD
Thanks! Sucks, But thanks! lol
and sanchez still can’t tackle
Thomas staying in!? Toby on radio said it looks like thomas staying in..
So whats that defense called? Leave no one deep middle and allow anyone behind the defense.
We make opposing qb’s look fabulous
Creative use of their weapons. Take the lockett away, means others get open
Good god. How bad are our backup safeties if Thomas still plays?!?!
Jordan, that looks similar to what they tried earlier to Perine, but blocking was better this time.
No more running for knight
HA! think they will still use the “illusion” though?
Time for A Thomas to take a seat and let Parker or Byrd play
i like that play of ksu. I’d like OU to run it sometime
Knight under center? Someone afraid of losing their job?
I really would like to see Thomas back in. OU must not like touchdowns
what a joke
OMG, TK could have just rolled out and run around for an easy First. Oh well.
Predictability at its best!
i would punt
I would line up and try to draw them off, worst that happens you move back 5 yards for delay and then punt.
Great use of that timeout
Jordan, your favorite punter strikes again!
you read my mind
There’s the Barnett I know
Shoulda just went for it. Wouldn’t have been any different.
Prob gonna play it safe since he was just injured…unfortunate…but maybe I’m wrong
im guessing if TK keeps struggling.. Bob will end up saying TK was “hurt more than we thought” and give Thomas a chance. Anyone remember last years start to season? 2 games in (or however many it was..) and Bob switched QB’s to Bell because of how bad TK was struggling, then said TK had and injury all the sudden to “ease” the benching.
What in the world is going on. Are we not the best at wasting timeouts?
Is there any team in FBS that gets less out of their timeouts than us?
no
i love how locket knew julian was blitzing
OU defenders just getting dragged around by a RB nowhere near as big as Perine
he had the leverage. wouldn’t criticize evans on that
Our back seven is undersized. No denying that.
The 2nd time it was Alexander
Alexander doesn’t even weigh 230
The whole 7? Wilson is a big corner. Hayes isn’t small. Nor is Parker/Byrd, for safties. Middle LB’s are though.
Undersized when it comes to run support that is.
Baffling
There we go!
good job Alexander
woohoo…good enough tackle and then sack
Look what happens when you blitz
Gotta stay stout and not give up the easy ones
finally brought the house and get sack
I hope Trevor’s not the type to play injured so his spot wont get taken. Because he hasn’t been that effective healthy. Let’s give Thomas a try.
love me some larry culpepper
that commercial was hilarious.
Regardless of play call, we have to be able to get one yard when we need it. That’s on the OL,
Helps when you run downhill though…
lol, we ran 7 more plays in 1st qtr, that we did in whole first half last week.
Also converted our first third down in the first quarter, not in the fourth this time
Lets hold guys!
almost gave that back
Time to really bear down DEFENSE!!
Watch for a fake!!!
From snyder?
You never know…..take nothing for granted.
Time for a 99 yard TD run……..why not?
Delay of game—–at home?!?!?!
………………….
Delay of game on a change of possession, classic
inexcusable…and a pick six. effing wow.
Need some more swing passes to get us going again..
Cody Thomas? Please.
WTF
I’ve NEVER called for knight to be benched but that’s enough…time to give him the hook!!!
DUMBEST F’ING PLAY CALL EVER
Well I think it was only dumb because it’s the play they just showed on the penalty just to the opposite side. Horrible throw.
WOOOOOOOW
Even the announcers are saying bad playcall
I wonder how could we could’ve been over the years if josh heupel never came to OU
We would have one less NC.
Not as a player, as a coach.
Probably not the 2000 but a couple more down the road
Time for a change at both QB and OC
Im telling you, Bob will say TK is too hurt to continue.. Thomas time! Come on Bobby, you can do it!
2nd string QB ALWAYS the most favorite player on the team. if Thomas plays qb, then tk will be after a few games.
You’re probably right, but that is unless, Thomas is actually good.
I wish they’d say Heupel was too hurt to continue…
Now thats good!!! hahahaha
His type of injury is much harder to detect however. Unless he starts licking the glass up in the booth he’s pretty much in the clear from being sacked.
Touchdown drive with Thomas. 3 and out and pick 6 with knight……. Maybe I’m stupid, but that tells me something
I don’t like that Knight even attempted that throw, but seriously terrible play call. Worst play call I’ve ever seen.
That’s a crappy play call and I put that on heupel and knight
On Monday Bob will chalk that up to poor execution……Book it!!
It is. Don’t throw that ball. There is probably a combo route that turns the WR up the field if the DB jumps the out. It would have been open. All Knight had to do is pump the out, and he’d have a wide open throw.
Before the penalty, the same play was called on the opposite side and then huepel does it again
He’s stupid, plain and simple
Heuple sabotaging this teams chances at a NC
doesnt know when to keep on a read option but he’ll take that throw??????
I almost feel like I would fire Heupel just for that play call alone
Wow. We are so poorly coached.
LUCK!!
Facepalm
whew!
Jeezus, WTF is going on right now????????
OU is on tilt right now. Right the ship Bob!!
Guys help me out. I haven’t been able to watch. Since Rip got tossed has Flowers played?
Yes. KSU did a run/pass play for a TD, after Thomas came in for Knight who was hurt and led the team down the field for a Perine TD. KSU got a 1 yard pick 6 to go up 14-7. OU ran two plays….a pass to Bell and then a pass to Shep for a TD. 14-14
are you able to listen? If you need a web link for your phone or something..
here is one.

But I only heard flowers mentioned on kickoff recovery..
I have it streamed, but I am at work and had to go get a few patients.

More Blake Bell please.
sexy
Wow, that was quick
we would be up so no props
Where has that been?
WOO HOO!!!
My bad. I love Huepel and Knight!
Oh wait, you mean our offense doesn’t look like goat crap when Knight throws the ball where it’s meant to be thrown? Amazing.
that’s the way to redeem yourselves Josh,TK
Good play calls there
Bell showed some wheels I haven’t noticed
He has very good straight-line speed. Side-to-side not nearly as effective.
Must have been norvell’s series
CRAP! wow! (there goes the “too hurt to continue” plan I had mentioned.. lol)
Lets go!
I guess we just need knight to throw a pick early every week so he can get it out of his system.
More cow bell
What do you guys think of Weis as our OC?
NO
crazy talk. you’d HATE HIM. all OC’s are hated at OU. relax, stoops isn’t stupid; he wins a lot of games
not only no, but HELL no.
https://twitter.com/GabeIkard/status/523517921700888576
Can’t wait to get there for Bedlam this year!! Gonna be epic
well give heupel credit. if you guys are going to criticize him, give him credit too. i don’t think OU has EVER had an OC that OU fans liked. same in HS. I’ve never seen it. personally, i think our defense lost the tcu game and played poorly against ut. ku played ut better than we did. but DC never gets criticized for a bad alienment like an oc does.
Leach? Mangino?
LOVED THOSE GUYS!!!
I didn’t like all the spread crap leach did. like having 3 down OL on some plays. Too freaking weird. But,. Mangino was solid!
mangino hurt us. OL didn’t like to come here and they left when they were here. mangino was hated by the team. there’s a reason stoops didn’t invite him back when he replaced OL coach–a good reason
I was strictly talking playcalling, I thought his playcalling was solid. But yes, you are correct!
We threw the ball DOWNFIELD! What a concept
we’ve been throwing down field all yr. Low percentage plays. that’s one reason tk’s percentage is so low. bubble passes up your %
Radio web link for any out of staters, or those who need to listen on a phone..
http://v6.player.abacast.net/2513
Thanks man
Let’s go D
Come on D!!!!!
Thomas late again?
https://twitter.com/OU_Football/status/523519461295259648
I believe OU will pull away just a feeling 31-21
Still have that feeling?
yes.
And now a wasted TO w/ the OU D on the field, mark your bingo cards accordingly
i thought that was the center space
Definitely pisses me off more though, when they do this in second half..
This d is possibly the worst in bob stoops era, esp the secondary
Seems like we’ve been saying that every year lately
and here I thought it was Venables! maybe not..
Hard to fault the defense for that break. Lockett is ridiculous… no way to break that pass up
When will Amhad Thomas be benched?
Never, but not his fault
I like how Byrd plays, must be a Finch mystery.
Ahmad Thomas. You sir need to sit yourself out for a few series.
No freaking joke!
where has Gastelum been?
Jordan Evans hasn’t been ejected lately. Thought we might see him when Evans lost his helmet on that last play.
Time for Knight to be benched and the era of
wow
holding, I think. Coming back
inegible player…thank goodness
yes!!!!
I just for the life of me cannot figured out how you justify continuing to put Thomas back out there.
because murica! Thats why,
Charmin soft coverage, as usual
i hate it.
Yeah, why not press on that…..make Waters hold it a second or two longer, could have gotten to him.
K-state throwing all over. ARGHH!
And on Lockett to boot
come on Sooners!
Sanchez!
I thought he had that for a minute. Gotta do it again. Hold to an FG
If the secondary is getting burned playing off what’s the worst that could happen playing press coverage… they get beat anyways
Knock on wood, Sanchez has played good coverage today.
how????
Wow, thought that was out of the endzone. He plucked that one! Dang it!
Wilson is playing soft coverage
No pass rush
Third downs have killed us all year on both sides of the ball
and again, a 3rd and LONG
Because that guy of all people s/b wide open in the back of the end zone.
How many more games do we still have to play?
How many times do we have to get beat before they realize that not sending but 3 people is going to get us murdered?
I agree. i hate the way stoops has called D the last 3 games. totally different than the first games. i don’t understand why. we’ve scored enough points to win easily but our D has changed for some reason
Like I said, worst d in the stoops era
not yet…..
I’m getting so tired of watching this secondary. They’re just plain awful. Some decent individual players but as a unit they are absolutely terrible.
don’t have backers who can drop and cover
We are letting teams dictate our d, not letting our D dictate what teams do. Horrible coaching
don’t have to be a great OC to pick apart OU’s D, just fundamentals
Remember when we could get pressure on the quarterback? Good times
Now I’m wondering if that may just have been the competition..
Hard to get pressure with 3 guys
Agreed. But I meant more like Mike is playcalling like he is afraid of the “tougher” competition now, instead of attacking like he did against “weaker” comp.. that wasn’t clear in my previous comment though.. my bad.
might be he knows he can’t trust the safeties
Locketts goin to eat Wilson up if he keeps playing off. Why would be wrong with jammin and knocking off the route… 🙁
Knight looks scared to run. cant be dual threat and scared.
I don’t think TK is scared of much
maybe not, but running seems to fall in that slight category.
STARING down his WR and then can’t even outrun a LB to the corner, wow
Wilson on Lockett is a bad matchup…all day
Knight looks slow.
tenative
good 1st down yardage again
like the play calling for the whole game so far
so far
lots of bubble stuff, high percentage and mixing it up.
except for the out call at the half yard line that went for a pick 6. just sayin’
that was a bad play but that was on tk. got to recognize coverage
Definitely liking the mixing of formations again!
How will mike stoops adjust to cover Lockett?
need to pop him on a special teams play
You mean like Texas did to Shep last week. Anyone else think that was wack.
just a solid, legal hit
Play calling overall havent been bad
wrinkles, hmmm…….
thinking the same i see
hmmmmmm
where is blake bell over the middle….. heupel needs to limit the use of the bubble screen
Bell needed to block on that last screen. Totally whiffed.
wow that was a bullet
needed that
good job by tk. looked away then back to shep for 1st
like to see the passion
Shep, Bell, and I seen Quick with one reception….
Not sure I understand the play calling comments…some good, some not good… and we just have to burn our last time out because of looking to the sideline. I don’t agree
just stating that it’s not the status quo- changes have been made. Don’t like the fact we’re still burning TO’s though
b/c they got away from everything that was working early. it’s Heupel’s m.o.
Bell?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WTF
fade route, brilliant
that catch was messed up- hope he’s ok
the kind of catch that makes his draft status climb
Go Michael Cunnihutt!!!
Moneycutt
Did he say Cunnihut?
yes
“might be the best kicker in the game”…..i just don’t know his name
We got this!
Hahaha, the coaching as a whole is so pathetic. I don’t understand why Stoops hasn’t taken control of the O-coordinator issues. And good ole Trevor, he picks who he’s throwing the ball to before the ball snaps, it doesn’t matter if that player is triple teamed, hes not going to look around the field for anyone else, he WILL throw to that triple covered guy.
Would not be upset with a turnover here. Defensive score would be better.
Sanchez needs another pick-6
radio just said looks like they are manning up sanchez with lockett for rest of game possibly..
bad spot
I’m going to lose my flipping mind with these third and long conversions against our D!!!!!!!!!
Block in the back!!
here comes the INT
hey I thought you were kickoffs! lol.
oh, aren’t we rotating?
Let’s hope!!
i just don’t understand how, if you’re through the double team, and running in place that its not holding
Got us where they want us
I know the stats say there are, but I can’t fathom how any other team is worse than OU is defending 3rd downs.
NO DOUBT!
Man a timeout would be nice here….
Wow, would you look at that…
Wow !! Bring pressure and see what happens!! Stupid it took this long to do that
players taking this into their own hands, good for them
think i’d try to block this punt
Sanchez to return punt
Means shep is out
trainers still looking at him
yup.
sac zanchez to return punt
i would love to punch reece davis right in the mouth
go for it
its just his face
Here comes a kneel down
nah
would piss me off
Austin Bennett in for shep? Not familiar with his name.
go right back to him. beautiful
Love when they do that! give the kid some confidence in himself!
Way to make up for it!!
no timeouts….
hhit him in the #s
tk, except for one pass, has played very well
i know people don’t want to hear that
But it’s the truth. Bad play call
i think it’s on tk for the pick 6, n/heupel
which play?
I would hope, and think, that most of us are glad to hear that! We all want our QB to succeed, whoever that may be! I’m certainly happy to see him have a good game. Lets hope it continues
More of that!
imagine if you had a couple of timeouts
Dude really
Glad quick is in there!!
Misse it!!! Damn it
another instance where burning TO’s nearly cost us dearly
did cost us
no nearly about it
you’re one of those huh?
that was just a miss
Didn’t see that coming.
Well guys….. Looks like this game is over. Won their last 42 while leading at half……
streaks end
I agree. Streak ends. It’s nut up or shut up time. I sure hope this coaching staff nuts up and gets it done
i’m thinking the players will take it on themselves- lots of adversity in the room right now- Rip ejected, Sterling hurt and TK dinged up
nuh uh!! Time to break that streak!!!
eh, he was due for a miss. bad timing though.
time for new heroes to step up- Quick looks like he’s ready
Who is #8?
Austin Bennett
Thx! Couldn’t read the name
Is he a freshman? I dont remember hearing much about him..
How long will Stoops let this go on before taking aggressive action? It’s starting to turn a lot of attention to him and his $5M pay check
Could you at least let the game finish first? Geez.
Nothing is going to change
wanna bet? 😉
Sure, name your stakes
sounds good but who’s the judge of changes taking place?
We have some good young receivers, but they chose not to play them for some reason. Now we are forced to with shep out. This might be a blessing in disguise for this team. Time for some new faces to make plays. Can’t rely on #3 anymore
We’ve played lots of young WR’s. Shepard is the only WR on the team that isn’t young (underclassman). Right? Or is Neal a junior?
what the negative nellies don’t understand is he is the only one to get open and catch the ball consistently. kind of 2 important factors to being a wr
Not the only one, go back and watch Blake. He is open almost as often as shep, to just doesn’t look for anybody else
every qb has their favorite guy. what would stafford be without calvin? what would brees be without graham? what would brady be without gronk? all 3 are awesome qb’s but have their favorite guy they look for all the time…why? because they can trust them and they catch the ball and get open. does tk have flaws? yes, but so do all the wr’s outside of shep. they just aren’t consistent enough….yet
Stafford, average
Brees, still awesome…indoors
Young Brady, still awesome, Old Brady, not sure yet.. lol
Neal is a JR. They came in the same class. But Neal may have RS year.
We have played 5 wide receivers up until today. Mead and quick have had a few plays, but we mostly stuck with three guys
Bell into the scheme
To be fair, we aren’t going 3 and 4 wide anywhere near as much as we have in past years. If you have 2-3 WR’s on a given play, and Shepard is one of them, there isn’t a lot of PT to go around. They put Quick in for Young. I’m not sure Neal has done enough to be replaced yet.
It’s nice to see they didnt forget how to go 4 wide. Done it a few times today!
We may not be the worst 3rd down team (offensivley and defensivley) in the country…but it sure seems like it. : /
Is he out for the game? I saw him wAlking off gingerly but didn’t know if they’d fix him up at half
prob internal issues that an x-ray won’t show- my guess is he’ll be held out for precautions
O should have scored 20 pts, and D given up 14. disappointed in D b/c there were 3rd and long conversions on the drives for TDs. if they just went down and scored, i can kind of live with that, but 3rd and long TD and 1st downs drive me crazy. No pressure at times, let them behind you in end zone in red zone when you do play 8 back. THOSE drive me crazy. O made one terrible play (TK did). But not disappointed with O game plan to drive to 4 scores (if make FG) in one half against a very good team.
3rd and longs are so maddening.. I’m with ya.
The safety should have helped Wilson. How can Lockett get single coverage on that last TD?
I can tell u we are the worst a burning timeouts for no apparent reason!
a by-product of JH being in the booth, too many relays of info = too much clock
Hope our O doesn’t do like last 2 games. We’ve only played on good half. Against TCU, good 1st half, terrible 2nd (except 1st drive of second). Against UT terrible 1st half, good 2nd half. I look for scoring to be a premium in 2nd half with adjustments made by Ds at half. I think if we tie or win the TO game, we win this game. KSU leads in that department and the game.
if we bring pressure like we did late and add sanchez marking lockett, its gonna be tough for them to move the ball
https://twitter.com/MBrooks02/status/523531273768144896
just shows we’re not trailing at the half very often and that we’ll have to do it again
Bob sure looked upset. He said something about “there’s 3 quarters left” and was unusually abrupt. I guess he’s upset about Shepherds injury…
Anyone see any updates on shep?
#3 on the field for warm-ups but back towards locker room, talking to trainers after a sprint or two
Twitter says he is fine
More #28 in the 2nd half?
Did Parker start 2nd half?
Thomas…
Thomas looks completely stiff. Its a horrible trait for a roving safety.
KSU back-up QB warming up on sidelines
Defense. smh
Any safety we are recruiting has to surely see us as a great opportunity to play early and start.
Just got in, been out all morning looking for our defense, didn’t find it.
Did you at least put up posters?
I’ll take out a missing persons report
It really makes me mad when they complete a pass and Striker is standing by the WR and not the QB!
Meanwhile, in other news: WVA up on Baylor at the half 24-20. Makes us look better but we still want an undefeated Baylor coming to Norman.
woohoo flowers
TRee!!
Wow we’re using Flowers…
Shep. Yep!
Shepard is the man.
Meet Optimus Perine #33
Have a seat Mr. Burns
excccelllent
Ou offense looking good!
Can’t say enough about Shepard!
The hurry up is money for this team!!! Y go away from it???
TD BELL!!
awesome call, throw and catch
BOOMER
SOONER!!
Love bell. True Sooner! !
BELL!!!!! A TE catches another td!!!!!
So my bell TD call was a bit premature but it came to pass!!
Pun intended?
TOuchdown Tightend!
More drives like that would be nice.
Word!! Please stay with the up tempo!!!!!!!
He’s there all day err day!! Throw that man the ball!!!!!!
The offense is starting to look like the offense we were expecting…for now.
as long as they stay up tempo, really wears on the D over time
Great minds think alike! Wish JH would join our club!!
As long as they stay with the up tempo, we will be money!!
Didn’t see the first half but that drive looks promising.
I hope that throw to Flowers is a sign of things to come. Love him as an outlet.
mucho
big kid
Okay so we know the oc can call a better game so how the hell does the last two weeks happen?
just when you thought he couldn’t get any dumber….he goes and TOTALLY redeems himself
Donuts?
stubborn
Seems Tempo is key for Knight
Time to see if the D can get a stop
If Knights good play continues, Heupel’s good calls continues, and we win.. Bob is going to have fun with the reporters on monday 😉 Well, for the offense anyway. not sure about the D yet..
Well…..
If defense
they have a one armed guy at qb. probly gonna run a lot
need to test waters’ shoulder
hit that man
AThomas again late to the party….
LB’s look awful
need a fumble recovery here
At least put them in 3rd and long to see if he can throw
Down OUr throat
Thomas yet again…..
So they’re running the ball, can someone get that info to the sidelines?
who is #13? he didn’t even want to tackle that guy
Can’t win if you can’t stop them!!
So I guess it’s our defense’s turn to stop playing.
I don’t think that could have been any easier if an actual defense wasn’t on the field.
We suck on D, plain and simple!!!
So our defensive gameplan is, anyone? bueller?
This is awful!!!! We can’t stop air at this piint
“So much for defense..”
Are we playing Dallas????
Maybe they want the offense to tire themselves out.
Our defense is terrible. Like 2012 bad.
Worse
This is just stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Our D sucks. One trick pony. When they can pin their ears back and rush the passer, they look decent. Other than that, average at best. Sheesh. So disappointing given the talent on that side of the ball.
Am I the only one that thinks Alexander is overrated, forget the cast, the guy has horrible football instincts.
right now I think a lot of things on the field are over-rated
Maybe it’s time to go back to a 4-3
JH took the heat the last couple of weeks, Mike Stoops’ turn this week- so far. Time to make some ad-just-ments.
Like 4 down lineman
Defense? Any chance that we have any idea wtf we are doing!
Not since tennessee
Defensive calls not allowing us to play, we are thinking too much!! Man up and attack
Best game of Ross’ career. Great vision thus far
awesome call against the blitz. its like he’s seeing the field better with his calls these days
Knight kept it!
What would Gary Patterson do with our personnel on D?
Dominate
methinks
Looks like a game where whoever gets the ball last wins
Our defense is a joke. Just horrible. Our defense has been bad the last few years. Even the Bama win we gave up 31 points and over 500 yards. Not getting it done. It just has been overlooked because our offense in the past was scoring points.
Not sure Neal knew the play call there
horrible blocking on that swing to ross, with those wr’s
make up for it neal atta boy
and TK looked off
Knight has been solid.
…
i agree
Poor decision….
Stupid
Even worse play call
play call was ok, choice to NOT throw it away was a poor choice
No need to call it. We have been fine running our O just fine
i agree with that, too but if he’d just thrown it away instead of forcing it in, it woulda been alright
Fire. Everyone.
Kind of like the edginess there (though not necessarily that close to red zone).. just gotta throw that sucker away.
Why even try this…. We have been mashing it….. STUPID FUJH
Just deflated with the whole deal.
Great defense… Nope.
Good offense with a playmaking QB….. Nope.
Great coaches…….. Not seeing it.
HORRIBLE
another 3rd down converted
Offense has been good minus the 2 ints. The defense has been bad minus the 2 sacks.
Game over. Defense can’t get a stop. Not gonna win
Hey, hey! not yet! We’ll get er!
And yet u still rush 3….
does beer taste better when you’re drowning your sorrows or celebrating? sheesh…
Rushing three guys…smh. Literally hasn’t worked all year. Hell, that s/h/b a first down were it not for the drop. M.Stoops is clueless.
Gotta call it like it is. His scheme has made zero sense since the tcu game. Why not rush the qb and play tight coverage like everyone does to us?
I wish someone could explain the reasoning behind this… Must be too complicated for common minds to understand?
Miss using of striker and geneo is baffling
Nice weapon that punter..
MStoops is just as clueless as FUJH!!! He isn’t using his weapons appropriately either
Down a TD going into the 4th. Lets go!
BOOOOMER!
SOOOONER
SOONER!!
gotta keep Bell involved or else they’ll just dial in
Good hold.
Just wish we could…… Well…. Do something amazing
Ross busts another long run maybe?
Like ur thinking!! Take it tomthe house big fella
He sure had a nice cut on that 8 yarder..
saw that, something he needs to do more often
If we score then the defense has got to play better and actually get some back to back stops
could we just keep the ball til the end, then score and hit two-pt conversion? lol
if we score, hell, I’d consider an onside kick just to keep the D off the field
I hope I’m wrong but I just don’t see it happening
We will win!
please…no gimmick plays…go w what’s worked so far!
The stupidity of rushing three guys against a max protect and KSU still having guys relatively wide open just defies every semblance of logic on this planet (or any other)
nothing can explain
Shep!
Shep still gimpy
Need Mr. Flowers on the field every once in awhile
Ross? Breaking tackles?
finally get Ross a few good runs, and then take him out?
gassed
Nice tempo
Gotta say, Ross looks good today
Agree my friend
Timeout
Prediction That Timeout will bite us in the ass!
Same stupid time outs every week
Another wasted TO!!!!!!! F******************************
OMG, get JH out of the frickin’ booth
I wonder what it’s like to use a timeout for a strategic purpose and not to fix a mistake….
There are not adequate cuss words to describe how that makes me feel
https://twitter.com/jasonkersey/status/523545641281024000
He did tweet that Mayfield isn’t on the roster either, but that he is on the sidelines.
He is tired of watching this team struggle on O
Just wish we would call a play and go!! Remember that up tempo thing????
POLL: Getting JH out of the booth cures these burned TO issues, Y or N?
me a Y
Y, mostly
YYY
Someone put a lock on the booth door so JH has to call plays on the sideline! The NFL OC somnebow manage it. Pretty sure JH can. Saves us timeouts every game! Not to mention it will stop TK looking so clueless. Ruijns tempo and rhythm.
Needed a t.o. For that!!!!
😉
That’s typical of a wasted TO
4 down territory
when we score, do we go for 2?
SHEP!
Let’s go Shep!!!
Freakin Superman! !!
TDDDDDDDDDDD!
BOOM.
I’ve missed this offense, and this Trevor Knight.
Beautiful series for Heup and TK.
Now please get a stop…
Tempo tempo tempo
Defense needs to show up big here!
Go for 2?
LETS GO DEFENSE!!! THIS GAME IS ON U!!! TIME TO MAN UP AMD GET A DAMN STOP!!!!! Or we just do an onside kick……
wtf!!!!!!!
Ouch
Damnit
Ugh!!!
Par for the course
If it’s not one thing it’s another…
poop the frickin’ bed
OMG
Lets look for that pick 6 this drive..
Sanchez is due an INT, right?
you can criticize heupel all you want, but I have nothing i’d criticize him about today. not going to be perfect, obviously, but this is against a good team. the one play i put on tk. heupel can’t tell him not to throw a ball after a snap is made. tk has to see that
Unless that’s his only read….
But he did pull his head out and has called a great game thus far
critical of the time it takes to get plays in and burning TO’s is my only bitch
My issue with Heupel is where he suits and calls plays. It doesn’t let him coach his QB and it has to be a major cause for the bad clock management and burning of timeouts unnecessarily.
A stop on d will cure the blocked xp
surprise onside kick
we’ve scored enough to win this game. I say D mainly and missed FGs and extra pts. Not heupel today. Last two games, I don’t like play calling. not today so far
scored enough to win against TCU as well…
that’s right
would love to have the missed field goal back that was usually a chip shot. Maybe a last second field goal to win for us.
Can we try to lose this game any harder?
TCU maybe
Snyder will play conservative- run, run, run ’cause we can’t stop ’em
Need a Defense stop
need a to
3rd down is key
Amazing what pressure does.
PRESSURE!!!!!!!! Brings more please
WVU still up on Baylor 27-20 late 3rd
KEY 3rd down
another effin TO?
why the hell do our coaches not think we need those at the end?
…
i know what you’re sayin’ there
Watch your language ma’am.
Another wasted TO!!!!
Seriously a timeout!
wow…do we understand we only get three timeouts a half?
Not sure. Been watching too many NBA games….
we don’t want any for the final drive, just like in the 1st half
We suck as a coaching staff!!!
I think the refs flag is stuck in their pockets…and kishs head is stuck somewhere else..
MOST.IRRESPONSIBLE.TEAM.WITH.TIMEOUTS. EVER!!!!
someone has never watched an andy reid coached team in the 2 minute drill.
Am guessing someone was lined up wrong. That is fundamental. Inexcusable.
It’s a key 3rd down you want to get it right I wouldn’t call that one a waste
Depends on what happens on the other side of it
sure, give KSU more time to figure out a play
Were giving them time to draw up a good play. Its only fair to them since we have momentum.
Anyone think Bob hurts his NFL stock at all with his game management style? not that I want him to go or anything, I dont, I’m just sayin..
Lucky ass coaches
Wow no run pass option..
oh what a lucky man, he was…
no freakin chance. this better take 2 seconds to confirm
good call man. you’re the greatest, coolest ever. woohoo
Need a returnable ball!
Got the stop now need a clock draining drive
do we jump offsides on the punt?
Yet another fair catch
Blake Bell in the on deck circle ladies and gentlemen
two INT’s, a missed FG and a blocked extra point- still a chance to win
Shepard is just everywhere.
Did anyone notice the hit towards the cameraman? I’m curious: If a cameraman is hit, and his camera gets broken is it just broken, or does someone have to pay for it other than the cameraman?.
Casualty of war.
does he make a sound?…wait wrong joke
Maybe we should have a 9 minute drive….
Let’s go!!!! So we go for 2 if we score? YES!!
Yes
What a cut by PERINE!
Good vision there!
D line getting tired.
also, I think when they put their safety back, we run well. when up, tk’s been playing great
What a spot!!! What is that guy seeing!!
terrible spot
go to Blake’s replacement 1st play
Qb sneak…..
What a call!
did we see that right? QB sneak? nice!
SNEAK??? WHO IS CALLING PLAYS???
i liked it
1st sneak this year? two, three years?
Was that a QB Sneak? We know how to do that?
no trick plays here
Please??
I say score now so we can get another stop but if they score we have time left to score again!
Run run run
Optimus Perine!
time to get big
go oline
no to’s
If we score do we go for 2?
yes
big boys push
Stupid!!!
ugh. where is the I-formation?
If Knight keeps he scores.
bell dozer? on 3rd down
he’s hurt
Oh man, I hope Perine is ok.
biggest line in the world and we can’t move kstate?
Out numbered!!! Predictable call as well
And OU fans would have murdered JH had he called anything else.
I would have loved to have seen a play action on 1st or 2nd. or 3rd if you got really big cajones, lol.
That is why we should have the capability to go under center
and trevor did on the sneak earlier in drive. But not to hand off once out of it, 3 plays in a row. damn.
Wow…
here we go
Moneyless.
F**k kickers
Stupid, stubborn, idiots!! Power out of pistol doesn’t effing work!!!! How many times do they have to try it before they figure it out.
And now their ineptness has rubbed off on Hunnicutt!!
Is he on the F’n take????
O M G
Wow
do not deserve to win this, what a shame for those who played a great game
wow, and we still may need him to win this game
SMH!!! We done”” thanks kicker!!!!
Can Shep kick FGs?
He does everything else
Can’t believe hunnicut has cost us 7 points today.
such a typical K-state game
Good thing we’ve conserved out timeouts
How can we trust him to kick a FG at the end of the game?
And it’s up to this inept d to get a stop …
How many pts. This d given up in the sec half
10
Rip ejected, Shep hurt, Blake hurt, TK throws a pick 6, a trick play red zone INT in their end zone, miss two chip shot FG’s, extra pt blocked, Perine hurt… sheeshamanetly!!
TK hurt as well… early on
come on D!
Think we want those defensive TOs now?
something isn’t right…
comet passing Mars maybe
ebola showed up in dallas and we had to make back to back trips there
left side
This is a travesty
1st down is ball ya,e
fire the ksu oc
Come on…
waters runs towards line and throws
And we play 8 yards off
got dandruff and some of it itches
Game over
WHY WAS A SAFETY ON SEXTON???
would be a great time for a fumble..
Coaches have cost this team 2 games
How do you play with a cushion on 3rd and 3
just like they did
Don’t need to add on to the trophy case this year.
if we had another time out
Why was Quentin Hayes playing 7 yards off?
coaching
No reason
My issue is why Quentin Hayes was on a key slot receiver and a proven threat WR.
game, set, match.
We definitely didn’t deserve to win this game.
We gave them the win. They played error free and we gave them the victory. I hope to god we address this.
Hahahaha. No way we do. We haven’t made a defensive adjustment since WVU!!
This sucks.
That’s it. Too many mistakes
turn out the lights, the party’s over- RIP Dandy Don and OU’s playoff hopes.
Screw kickers!!
Poor hunnicut! I imagine he’s kicking himself…wait…he just missed again!
His own fault. Choke artist!!
Ok FIRE STOOPS!!!!
time for multiple adult beverages
HOME LOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did Mason Crosby pay off Hunnicutt to not make those last two FGs and break his record?
Should be three losses in a row!!!
Could have been 3 wins in a row…(see what I did there)….
Defense lost this one !!
Nope, special teams and the pick6
Disagree d sucked it up too
How many point we give up in the sec half!!
Unfortunately the game has two,halves
“We just didn’t execute”
I hate what OU football has become
This OU team is absolutely terrible. Hunnicut …. What the hell? Play with Neal throwing when the offense was rolling? Wilson couldn’t cover a fire hydrant.
They aren’t terrible. We played much better than we did last week, and probably better overall than we did against TCU. Just had a couple of really dumb plays. The interception. The missed FG’s. The missed extra point. We simply don’t throw the pick and make a FG, and we win and cover the Vegas line.
When u put it all together, means we ain’t no good
Keep saying that.
Exactly!!!!!!!
Makes me sick
So…what happened to the whole “Mike Stoops is back to fix all of the defensive woes?”
Demote his ass
thought 2nd half D played mainly okay. have to give credit to ksu too you know. thought O played well all day except 2 passes. kicking game lost the game mainly though, obviously
This is what a good (KSU’s) staff does, takes what the other team is giving. We arguably lost this in several ways- a few poor calls and some bad kicks and some good plays by KSU.
I sure thought he would have. Count me as wrong..
I’m sick of this crap! We under achieve with a very talented team!!! Helpless had a great game, but mike stoops needs a reality check. He has sucked ass the past 4 games. Yes I’m including the first half of West Virginia!!!! This team loses another 2-3 games if mstoops doesn’t figure out that striker is the best pass rusher in the country and the this secondary sucks ass
No kidding. I Can’t find words for his suck butt defense
Where is the mentality we had the first 3 games if the year???????
Castration is to blame perhaps?
Why why why do we only rush 3 !?!
THE ONLY PERSON THAT BLOCKS STRIKER IS MIKE STOOPS!
The million dollar question
We could get these same results with a HC that cost a whole lot less
name one
josh heupel?
that was just mean
The funny thing is, we COULD still tie for the Big 12 if things go right. One of those things being WVU beating Baylor today. KSU is going to lose at least once, they might get a second. TCU will likely lose again. If Baylor were to lose today, we could give them a 2nd loss. Long shot. Not something I’m really worried about. Just saying it’s possible. I said on here the other day that there isn’t much of a difference between OU, Baylor, KSU, and TCU. And WVU and possibly OSU aren’t far behind that.
man you’re an optimist.. quick with it too. I’m sure many folks are going to vent a while though…
you think OU will win out???
If we play the way we did today, on both sides of the ball, and simply cut out the missed kicks, we beat every team but Baylor.
need to cut out the pick 6 too. , and the bad coaching. and the crappy game management.
And the dropped passes and the six or so lobotomies rendered every week and the wth play calls like the one with Neal and a kicker that looked like me trying to kick a soccer ball and the stupid idea of not rushing striker and…..
I remember one dropped pass.
If we somehow won out, I fear it would stop us making changes we need to seriously consider.
Only to get depantsed on the national stage.
Like Bama did…..oh, wait.
I think when a team has won a couple of national championships over the last three or so years they can get by the national embarrassment. The only reason that game was the shocker it was was because OU is the team that usual,y blows it out their butt.
They’re still my boys! Now we just to play spoiler for someone else! Just hate it for recruiting purposes, etc.
No words ….
win out
Sounds like what stoops might say cashing his paycheck every month
We don’t relish in the spoiler role!! We ain’t OSU
Not relish…but now were in a pickle and have to make due this year.
I’m not gonna jump on all the hatred of OU, because I’m an OU fan through and through, but damn… I am at a loss for words.
In the words of Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty, “We gawn!”
Welp, there’s always next year.
Damn…did anyone see that catch Kevin White just made for WVU? Wow…
Lot’s of things need to change !!!!
If Bell doesn’t get hurt, we run the Dozer on 3rd down and win. Just too many things went wrong. I think they played with heart!
Well, another disappointment…
High hopes, season’s done
I guess I can cheer for WVU to beat Baylor now, since OU has no shot at the Playoffs.
OSU sitting pretty
Who?
yeah, i know
Merv just said “we only punted twice, had over 500 yards of offense, but statistics are for losers.” lol
sigh….now what? I can’t even begin to begin what to say….oh well..next game….
At this point, do we just watch for fun?
Of course!!
We still have Baylor and our in-state rivals…we could have more home losses this year than in a long time if we cant find some moxey (players and coaches).
I seriously doubted our chances of going to the 4-team play-off anyway and am glad to see the O improving against a good D. Play calls were light-years better but the D continues to regress- gotta take a long look at things schematically on D- adapt for each opponent.
Glad it’s hockey season.
……..gotta’ acknowledge a fellow nhl’er……..who you follow/like?
Like the lesser-liked teams mainly: Tampa Bay and the Isles. You?
not a fanatic for any, just like the sport and playoffs esp….. like several, overall the rangers…….lived near dallas for several yrs and would like to see the stars get back in the mix after showing some life last yr
I have defended stoops for a very long time. My trust in stoops no longer exists.
certainly is waning..
I completely disagree. The chances were there and players did NOT execute.
Agreed. Coaching wasn’t the problem today. Knight is coached not to make that throw. Neal is coached not to make that throw. Our kicker is coached to not suck. The D, while the end result wasn’t great, really only had a couple of really terrible plays.
Like I said below, we win and cover if our kicker simply shows up. Let alone the two int’s.
We just got out coached and out schemed why they stopped the run/ pass idk we didn’t stop it all day
Make some changes get better for next year !!!
Go back to the 4-3 or at least get let ur best pass rushers do what they do best, not cover receivers
Well its my 14th annual “I hate college football” Saturday
Well Tuck. Now we’re playing for pride and a decent bowl from here on out. Bill Snyder may be the best coach in CFB history.
I wish I could say its time to give the young guys a chance..
well, not surprised at the loss but sure am the way it played out………as bad as we were at times it was ours to lose……3 red zones and 0 points……..just hope the players don’t pack it in for the yr
Ok it still comes down to play calling at critical situations the pic6, the int, the third down on the goal line, EVERYBODY knew who was getting the ball.
FUJH STILL SUCKS
of course no one can explain missed extra pts, FGs (that were basically extra pt distance). But other than that, believe it or not, I was very plsed with how OU played outside a few plays. The O looked like they can play now, lots of short passes, which forces opponents play safety back and opens up run. Thought O played very well for most part against a very good team. good game plan and play calling by Heupel. Don’t put the 2 int on Heupel. On D, my main criticism is only rushing 3 too many times, esp on 3rd and long, AND letting opponents get behind us when we do have 8 back.
Sorry…I have to put the 2 int on Heupel. He called the plays with a low percentage of success. I can see a double move on the first int if you trust your protection, but an out to the field side with a corner in man principles. Inside the red zone with good offensive momentum and you call a trick play against a defense that hasn’t really stop your normal sets? 14 point swing is on the Huep man and his assistants and co coordinator for not asking him…are you crazy? Might have worked if they hadn’t shown the very same look to the opposite side (before the penalty) to alert the Defensive coaches on the next tendency… When is the next bye?
Monty for Defensive Coordinator? I know it won’t happen but it’s just so frustrating seeing us out coached and our weaknesses so exploited.
Pretty depressing for the season to be over in mid-October.
Agree.
The last 3 weeks we were out coached on both sides of the ball, plain and simple. Should only happen once, if that, at a program like OU. No excuses
Better on O today sans the TO’s being burned.
On defending Bob Stoops:
I’ve always had a dislike for his knack of hiring “friends and family”. I
think Mike has some good ideas but he rarely has a contingency in
place- so we see opponents continue to exploit the weaknesses we present
in his schemes.
I’m gonna go out there and just say that we need
new direction from both our O and D coordinators (JH did redeem himself
a bit today but he needs to continue on to prove it wasnt just a flash
in the pan).
JH didn’t do anything, but lose this game the 2 ints. One was a pic6 the other took 6 from us!
IMO, TK should never have thrown the pick 6 ball and the trick play was on JH.
play call on pick 6 was pretty hardcore bad too. He could have faked out and pumped, and had dude turn up field for an easy burn. Double move call was needed.
Both on JH, he called the quick out on the pick 6!! But the D and the kicker formerly known as moneycut cost us this game
I agree shouldn’t have thrown the pass, but jh called the same play to the opposite side the play before.
Right on soonerthunder The did look pretty good today , Hunnicut missing 2 field goals and an extra point wow !!
radio asked Bob.. what’d you say to Hunnicut after? “I put my arm around him, and told him I Loved him.” This I like. Kudos to Bob for that. Certainly can’t blame Hunnicut for everything..
Should’ve asked him what he said to mike !
Meet you at the bank?
Yes u can. I sure do
You tell him to suck it up buttercup!!!!!!!
Hmmm. Wasn’t like he was asked to kick two fifty yarders to win the game. Your a senior and four year letterman and screw up two chip shots. Hope bobby tells hem he’s got some work to do.
Agreed. But dude has won several for us too. He’s been so good for so long, people forget we used to have these issues a lot more before him. But, again, I agree. I just dont want to see media and fans jump all over him, when the pick 6 essentially covers all hunnicuts missed pts..
Never won a game for us
He sure played a huge role in Bedlam last year
Also it’s just football. As much as we love it these are college kids.
We quit attacking on D these past 3 weeks. AThomas still getting burned and no change, still only rushing 3 on 3rd down, still predictable on O play calling when it matters, we don’t learn and never will.
I don’t really understand why / how the defense has regressed this much this season. Are we just predictable or just limited by the secondary?
We quit attacking. Plain and simple
It’s like someone poored ethanol into a turbo engine. I bet the heels are worn off the cleats because that’s how they are playing
Right, but is that because the secondary? Are we trying to protect them or is it a case of trying to be too clever.
To protect the secondary, u attack as much as u can. I think we tried to get too cute and ended up killing ourselves! And we have a member of the secondRy who is totally clueless amd can’t make a play to save his life (13).
I actually believe that when you have a weak secondary, you should attack more to cover for them, than less. but that might just be me..
I don’t understand your comment. Regressed from when? Last year? No, we are better on D than we were last year. From the first three games? Well, maybe that is b/c LA Tech, Tulsa, and Tenn have crappy offenses, and TCU and KSU do not?
Previously it looked like a flawed but aggressive defense. Now, it just looks flawed.
Secondary all the way and not pressuring like we were !
1. clock management
2. 2 missed field goals
3. blocked extra points
4. interception pick 6 on our goal line
5. trick play reverse-bad decision to pass for interception in end zone
6. 1st and goal- 3 straight runs with Perine (who seemed hurt). Snyder knew what OU would do so he sent in extra defensive tackles.
7. lack of attempts on rushing the passer
8. Qb’s are looking great when they play OU
9. Since 2 week lay-off OU is 1-2
10. injuries are a great concern
11. Looking forward to Stoops take during his press conference
12 After all that I am still a big OU fan-just 2 field goals away from being undefeated.
It will be all coach speak. No reason to listen to that bs
Jordan will do it for us! lol
Welp… Next on the calendar.. Spring Game
If I could make a bet, I would bet Stoops says it was bad execution again this week. And for the first time I agree with him. You can’t make that throw that turned into a pick 6, you can’t throw the ball on that reverse, and you can not miss 2 field goals and an extra point.
Who’s ready to expand playoffs to 8?
We’d be lucky to make 16 this year.
Playoffs? You’re talking playoffs? That ship has sailed my friend
We past that exit awhile back.
I hear San Antonio is pleasant in December
Win one more game and we’re bowl eligible! What’s everyone so down about? Three Loss Bob has us right on schedule again.
baylor down to W.VA 41 – 27
6 minutes left, baylor with ball. can they do it two weeks in a row? lol
As long as WV doesn’t crawl into a shell…they should win…
Nice job CEO BS
maybe i’ll check in next year or whenever you guys get serious
I can see better performances on Friday night in TX
Wait, I thought we already read that Bob was serious? Is Bob not serious? lol
That was on the OP site which is “news, thoughts, rumors” .
It must have been a rumor 🙂
Because we all know that when BS gets serious we are undefeated (sarcasm)
wow..
So you are only fan if we can win the league or a NC?
That is pretty lame.
BS has stated that championships are the goals he has set.
This is OU and standards of the football program and the high expectations come with the territory.
BOOMER!
Then go watch those Friday night highschool games mr. fair weather fan!
Can we hit reset on this season?
what a strange yr for cfb…..parity out the ying-yang……screw baylor!!
The Big 12 looks like it will come down to the wire…Baylor will beat KSU…I think pretty handily….OSU will most likely lose to TCU….KSU OSU toss up…. Baylor OSU…lots left to determine the winner here….I don’t think there will be a Big12 team in the playoff this year… unless the SEC and ACC continue to shuffle in the same manner the Big12 does… This year of CFB feels more like an NFL season…
Think big 12 winner has two losses? Would be a good year to have a conference championship game, even with (especially with) 10 teams.
agreed. I actually miss the championship game…
I definitely do.
Well hope they play like they have nothing to lose…instead of nothing to win…. Here is to the rest of the season…
CHEERS!! (with beer in hand!)
Lol….yes sir…yes sir…
yes, and NOT knockin’ tk, but I hope ct can get some quality playing time now and see what he’s got………..
Feels just like 2011 all over again.
Looks like okstate is playing the type of defense against TCU we should have (which everyone thought we would) played against TCU..oh my God! it must be bad…im actually watching OSWho…ok…time to change this…
We’ve become South Carolina!
visors
it’s sadly interesting that the last 2 times for kst in norman, they won playing a solid game and ou contributed with screw ups that spelled defeat vs probable wins
tam’s getting buried so far……..love it
Okie state is getting buried too… 21 – 3
Bama 45 – ATM 0. Just. Wow.
