	Report Comment Rhymeister, Tokyo, JPN (9/21/2009 7:19:50 AM) Well, that's part of the problem, isn't it? Who's developing under Bryant, you got to throw the ball to the other receivers for them to gain confidence and to be more well rounded. From the two games i've seen Robinson looks at Dez all the way unless he goes to a TE. How many receptions do the other wideouts have???
	Report Comment Bart78, Sand Springs (9/21/2009 8:49:11 AM) Rhymeister, my observation, from being at the three games thus far, is that Josh Cooper is the best target besides DB. Cooper's stats are 7 receptions for 100 yards with one TD. He is second in the individual receiving stats behind Dez. Zac is too focused on Dez most times.
	Report Comment CW Kingston, (9/21/2009 8:58:09 AM) O State has too much talent on Offense to sputter around like a derailed train. What is wrong with a team that can't score but seven against the Rice Owls in the first quarter? It sounds like offensive coordinators to me. Osu offense is as predictable as a weak high school team.
	Report Comment TtownTimmy, (9/21/2009 9:12:45 AM) Yes OSU has some great skill players but when you can't block it doesn't matter. Obviously the losses from last year's line and Pettigrew's blocking are killing this team. The fact they are still tinkering with the offensive line tells you they have problems.
	Report Comment Ash, Houston (9/21/2009 10:00:26 AM) OSU is pace to being "THE" flop of the year and 5-6 losses unless they get their offensive mojo back. Take it to the bank: L Missouri L Texas L Tech L Oklahoma And don't assume @ Baylor will be a "W". NOW we'll see what kind of coach Gundy really is. That is, can he make the necessary adjustments to salvage this season.
	Report Comment ken7, (9/21/2009 10:43:53 AM) Ash sounds like a dumb Ash gooner
	Report Comment 3Z Dad, Not Tulsa (9/21/2009 10:44:48 AM) Without Dez Bryant, the Cowboys would be toast. No doubt about it. He's the lone NFL prospect on this overrated, under-performing, lackluster OSU offense. Can Gundy get his team motivated before the real season starts? If OSU plays like they did for most of September, they will finish in the bottom half of the Big 12. If they perform like they did in the second half against a sick and injured Georgia squad, they may have a chance to squeeze out a few conference wins. But, I don't see it. The players and coaches seem to be a step slower than last year. They look confused and frustrated. And as the Cowboys proved against Houston, they have no home field advantage.
	Report Comment DontHaveToGuess, (9/21/2009 11:10:59 AM) Going by how things look right now OSU has its work cut out to win 4 Big XII games. They're going to have to make a determined effort just to go to a bowl, much less worry about rankings. Just press on and concentrate on the next game Pokes. Beat Grambling State and then get ready for A&M ... that's going to be a very tough game.
	Report Comment Ash, Houston (9/21/2009 11:31:22 AM) To "ken7" and the rest of the orange kool-aide drinking sheep...wake up already!!! Do you really feel like OSU has played at or above expectations to-date? I'm a die hard OSU fan and no one on the FB team is above criticism, especially Gundy. He, along with the rest of the offense, has the least amount of room for excuses for their p!ss poor performances. The knock against Gundy has always been his lack of experience and inablity to adjust. Now more than ever, the variables that add up to legitimate excuses are gone. The vast majority of the O is the same as last year yet they look like they are in a coma. So, I'll say it again... We'll see just how good a coach Gundy really is during the remainder of this season.
	Report Comment omega, Russellville (9/21/2009 1:28:38 PM) Ash: I am an OSU fan and I believe what you are saying is true. The only problem is the OSU fans need to wise up. Gundy was less than mediocre when they hired him and he has never had the team ready for the beginning season. He is good at politicing to keep his job. No other alumni would put up with Gundy. That is why OSU is labeled "losers". This season is no different from the others. If the OSU alumni really love OSU, they need to clean out the athletic department beginning at the trustee level down to the graduate assistants. Get rid of the poison that infests the university and stop bad mouthing O.U.
	Report Comment Eric, OKC, Oklahoma City (9/21/2009 1:29:43 PM) Ash, You are a complete idiot. I don't care if you are an OSU fan or not. There are a lot of issues regarding this team. They are fixable areas. One of the reasons OSU lost to Houston was the play of Booker. He is inexperienced as a starter. He made at least four costly mistakes. But he got better in the Rice game. The same goes for some of the other new starters. The line has two new guards that need to step up. But it comes with experience. I think the schedule will end up being tougher than most realize. But thinking they may only win 4 big twelve games? Come on.
	Report Comment Eric, OKC, Oklahoma City (9/21/2009 1:44:32 PM) Omega you're not a fan of OSU. How many games has OSU lost? Oh just one. As far as bad mouthing OU, the article is about OSU. OU has it's own set of problems. Remember, they got beat by a BYU team that got it handed to them at home. Sam Bradford had poor stats before he got hurt. As far as Gundy is concerned, he's got the team going in the right direction. I believe they will finish the season strong. Something they have never done. It takes time to build it and they are doing that. The line does miss pettigrew, he was a first round TE. They have time to get it right and they will.
	Report Comment C SQUARED , MANNFORD (9/21/2009 2:27:26 PM) well i dont have a roster handy but #25 has had some dam good hands and he deserve a call in the end zone!!
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (9/21/2009 2:55:10 PM) I predict a pokey win against Grambling State. LOL!
	Report Comment Ash, Houston (9/21/2009 6:23:30 PM) Eric, be sure to meet back here in Nov and we'll see who the idiot is. The way the team is playing I have no reason to believe they will beat Mizz, Tech, UT, OU.
	Report Comment soonermajik8, seminole (9/21/2009 11:17:22 PM) i root for osu every game but one, but until they have a defense, they will swim in mediocriy, and as for you eric, at least we didnt get our .ss handed to us at home with our new rebuilt stadium....lmaoooo eric....get real...maybe youll get lucky with "grambling" and only allow 28 points this game....what else is funny eric is that you say that osu has never ended a season strong.....thats the truest statement ive heard out of your pie hole......BOOMER FREAKING SOONER....also DONT FORGET...you have to come to norman
	Report Comment aa5drvr, (9/22/2009 4:43:36 AM) What kind of coach is Gundy? Hopefully "unemployed." He can take it. He's a man. Hes over 40.
	Report Comment klw1042, (9/22/2009 1:54:16 PM) Eric, You're an idiot. Bradford was 10-14(with 2 drops) for 98 yards and a touchdown before he was injured.
	Report Comment Steff M, Claremore (9/22/2009 2:59:32 PM) Ditto on Eric. That was a pretty dumb comment considering how easy it is to verify. If you didn't watch it don't try to comment on it. Also, the answer to OSWho's problems: Fire Gumby and Holder.
	Report Comment ken7, (9/22/2009 3:35:04 PM) Looks like the gooners are crawling back on the bandwagon...
