Everywhere you look it's Offensive

Oklahoma State's revived offense, which figured to be among the naation's best, simply caught up with the rest of the state on Satrurday night.
The Cowboys joined high-flying Oklahoma and Tulsa to give the state perhaps the best trio of offenses in state college football histrory.
Sure, there have been times when the state had remarkable offenses. The Golden Hurricane in the 1960s ushered in modern passing. OU's split T in the 1950 and wishbone of the 1970s revolutionized college football.
Oklahoma State in the 1980s had two future pro football hall of famers in the same backfield with a sure-handed quarterback and an All-American receiver.
So, yes, these current offenses might not even be the best in school history. However, to have these three offenses in the state at the same time is remarkable.
And, regardless of the records, should make this college football season a lot of fun to watch.

A little premature aren't we John? OSU has to be consistent before being given too many accolades. I don't know which game you were watching but... Texas Tech didn't have a defense. Tech players were constantly out of position, looked confused and couldn't tackle. When OSU has played against Georgia and Troy defenses, it couldn't move very well. TU or OU would have hung 50 to 73 points on the Red raiders. Not to mention the lack defense by OSU.

Now that we've got Savage back, the offense is firing on all cylinders once again. Sorry AM FAN, you won't see this OSU offense stagnate any longer. Zac Robinson actually knows how to check off his receivers which, in my opinion, was the biggest knock on Reid. That, and Reid's apparent hesitance to tuck the ball and run when given the opportunity. It does my heart good to see Bobby still on the field though. What a team player. Gotta love it.

GO POKES!

I also, think Robinson is the man for the time being, however don't count Reid out. I just want to urge caution at getting hopes too high without consistent performances. It's just too early in the season to tell. Remember, it is only two games won. Let's let the season go past half way. Then we will have a better idea on just how good the Cowboys are offensively. The same goes fo OU. Keeping in mind that Bradford is a redshirt freshman, the Sooners are very very good, there's no denying that. But let's see how the season develops and then we will know if they are up to defeating USC and/or LSU with Sam pulling the trigger. I think both teams chances are very good at this point.
