It would be interesting to see what the criteria is for that position?
OSU must not have leanred from history. Mack Brown tried the 2 QB system and it didn't work. It will almost never work. I understand what Robinson brings to the table, and putting him on the field WITH REID a few snaps for deception purposes might be ok. Splitting snaps between QB's just doesn't let the offense find a rythym. If coaches have to resort to that kind of deception, then they must fear they aren't good enough to win it otherwise. I agree Picker. They outsmarted themsleves.
As for OU, I completely understand Stoops' mentality in the 4th quarter. I understand that they were able to run the football at the Pokes for 3 qtrs, so they stayed with it in the 4th and let the defense win it. He's a defensive coach, so that's what he's gonna do. I was hoping to see a little creativity on the last two drives, though. I'm not talking about putting it in the air. You can run it with a little deception. Bootlegs, counters, end arounds, etc. You have to be impressed with the running game, though. And, Thompson has shown he can throw the football when needed. NU gave up over 250 to the Cowboys on the ground, so with the cold air up in KC, I expect the Sooners to do the same thing.
I think one of the top stories this weekend is the continued excellence shown by Romo of the Dallas Cowboys. I just hope he leaves that Simpson chick alone through the Super Bowl. Once he starts up that fling, he's done. How can a man possibly keep football on his mind at that point?
Early prediction: Sooners 31, Nebbish 21.
I think Nebbish will hang in there, but the OU defense will be the difference.
How about the role Chris Brown played this season? It turns out that he was definately needed, so pulling his redshirt was a good decision. I know, picker, that you still contend the factor is WHEN they pulled his redshirt. I understand. I just think coaches have a feel for those things, and they new he was gonna be a factor down the stretch.
And my goodness, is OU loaded for the future. Talk about talent at the RB position and the OL and on defense and at WR...ok, I'll stop. Just notice, I left out QB!! You'd think some very highly touted QB would love to run this Sooner show for the next 4 years. Maybe that Nichols kid (elite 11 QB committed to Mich St.) will take notice.
Heroes. Funny. I'm a fan. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now, keep it rolling and agree with me that OU will defeat the Shuckers by 10 at Arrowhead...
