Conversations inside the student union at OSU this week will typically include such questions as "you think Sean Sutton would pull double duty and coach the grid defense?", or "how early you gonna get in line for the OU hoops game?".
As for the OU-Texas game, I must respectfully disagree. Seemed like a pretty good play call that included Thompson throwing a dart to Iglesias to around the 15...but the coaches didn't call the fumble.
Not sure it's Wilson's fault that PT threw the lateral that Peterson chicken winged. That pass must go forward.
I know what you are getting at. OU came out of the locker room and tried to establish Peterson, and UT scored on its first possession. One the next possession, Gresham is a couple steps behind the UT secondary, but PT couldn't hit him. Good play call if you ask me. If you have the best player in football, you use him.
Let's not knee jerk here. The only stat that tells the story is the turnover line. You can't win losing it 5 times to UT's none. Period.
I thought the defense played well enough to win in the first half, but once again fell asleep for a couple of possessions in the 2nd half and it was costly. OU outgained UT by 100 yards, and holding them to 230 total yards is pretty good. Personally, I think Venables and Bobby Jack Wright need to start understanding their cornerbacks. Letting DJ Wolfe cover Limas Sweed IN FREAKING BUMP AND RUN COVERAGE on 3rd and 8 is just stupid. No safety help whatsoever. The coaches are still trying to call coverages based on Derrick Strait and Andre Wolfolk...who can cover anybody.
I say this team finishes 9-3, losing only at MU.
