One word: Cornerbacks. What position has failed the most miserably in big games? I think last year proved you can outscore "almost" everyone. You might mix in some corner speed to beat everyone.

Defense win championships but if the offense can't get a touchdown on 1st & goal from the 2 in a tight defensive battle....

The current OC needs to go !!!!

The offense that scored at a record pace last year was being ran from the QB on the field who was instructed & coached by the assistant QB coach on the sideline who should be the OC in the first place....

Remember they scored 56 points in the first half against K-st but only 3 in the second half when they went into a more northwestern style offense....

Against Cinncinati, OU moved up & down the field but then came to a halt when the guy in the booth wanted more control, same thing against Florida when the whole offense had to wait for the signal from the "coach" in the skybox....

OU will lose that QB coach in the near future because he isn't getting the status & recognition of OC that he deserves....Those head coaches in Lubbock & Tucson sure know who he is....

tulsandn, can I sit up in the coaches booth with you next season. It sounds like fun to be sitting up there with headphones on knowing exactly what's going on with the team...

Picker - Some of these guys need to update their resumes, they're obviously not in the right profession. Unless their coaching football, that is.

7 Big 12 teams recruiting the state of Texas and most getting the ones Mack Brown doesn't want. Going to have to do something different. Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result won't work.

If speed was number 1 priority, coachs would have recuited from track teams. Good wide receivers will not go to a college to play defense. They want to be on offense and score points.

I love seeing the same blogs written over and over again by the Picker, only the title changed and the words rearranged.

When the truth is considered to be bashing, it's time for some of you guys to have your minds examined.

The Stoops countdown to either another national championship, or to another BCS bowl loss, is a great story.

Mr. Picker, I see where there is a new code of conduct for athletes who are good enough to play for Stoops. In effect, you can't have killed anyone with your own firearm. How pathetic can you get? With any luck Chaisson will only harm his teammates and not the student body.

Gene, hey, come on, lighten up, Stoops has rules: No killing.

tattoo, give me their names so your allegation has some credibility. While Stoops talks about the charges being reduced to misdemeanors, look at the number of hours meted out as punishment. The last guy to do community service for that length of time was Prentis Elliott.

tattoo, i don't equate a tax dispute with "cheating" so I missed that one. I also believe that Stoops could have found a player who isn't compelled to use a firearm to settle his disputes. I'll bet there are even players in Oklahoma who don't own a firearm. Those young men who resort to firearms at such an early age rarely do well with second chances. Its too easy to return to old habits when in a perceived jam. Your suggestion that Picker is my mentor probably has him laughing out loud so thanks for the compliment.
