	Report Comment HONES, T-Town (9/21/2009 8:37:15 AM) The SHARE button is broken. I wanted to post this on my facebook and twitter. And yes, we probably have good reason to be CONCERNED but not scared.
	Report Comment Navin Johnson, Tulsa (9/21/2009 8:51:05 AM) OU should be scared...
	Report Comment RC1936, St. Robert (9/21/2009 8:58:08 AM) As the man said, concerned but not scared. Miami is pretty darned good. But as anyone can see, no team is unbeatable. Ask USC. Ask OU. Texas had trouble with Wyoming but Colorado did not. The football bounces in many ways.
	Report Comment honky donkey, (9/21/2009 8:59:11 AM) With Veneables as the defensive coordinator the Sooners should be scared every game. His schemes stink and how many times have opposing teams thrown over the defensive backs for major yardage? Venables needs to go.
	Report Comment mh, (9/21/2009 9:09:00 AM) "the Sooners seem to have righted a ship...." this seems a little premature to me. Beating Tulsa and Idaho Stats, hardly makes everything right. We still have many issues to deal with. Primarily some coaching issues. We'll be able to tell more AFTER the Miami game. BOOMER SOONER!
	Report Comment tulsandn, out in the woods (9/21/2009 9:30:17 AM) Tulsa & Idaho St. were scared of the Sooners but the Miami players won't be.... Another big game opponent for OU, I wonder what will happen....All I know is that it'll another good reason to fire up the grill & get crazy about a football game!!!!
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (9/21/2009 9:46:20 AM) Sooners are finally starting to jell. Two weeks to prepare for Miami will get the job done. BOOMER SOONER!
	Report Comment Have that, America (9/21/2009 9:47:02 AM) There is a beat down forthcoming for the Sooners...
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (9/21/2009 10:33:08 AM) Right Have that. Have a good game with Grambling State. Geez.
	Report Comment dcood, (9/21/2009 11:02:09 AM) Paul Johnson at G Tech does a great job but totally different types of athletes that they have compared to OU/Miami type kids. Tech had no pass rush at all during that entire game... that will probably change when OU comes to town.
	Report Comment Low70's, (9/21/2009 11:34:32 AM) have that, aren't you the same one that said tulsa's defense would be too fast for OU?
	Report Comment lovethemsooners, Fayetteville (9/21/2009 11:42:50 AM) I just hope Miami beats up on VT. They need to be undefeated and seething with confidence when we show up. I say that because I know our kids will be showing up ready to play and it'll only make for a better game. If Miami does beat VT the media is going to be all over them. We won't have a chance according to them.....watch.
	Report Comment paprika, teahas (9/21/2009 11:49:24 AM) If the defense comes ready to play we should be good for the win. Can't expect interceptions in the red zone everytime though. Need a lot more 3 and outs. BOOMER!!
	Report Comment Have that, America (9/21/2009 12:07:31 PM) low70s... wasn't me. not sure who said that but I would have told them they are about as smart as a box of farts.
	Report Comment Alwaysbob, (9/21/2009 12:42:10 PM) Miami 42 - ou 17 if they are lucky. I think we are looking at the worst team here in school history.
	Report Comment Low70's, (9/21/2009 1:38:22 PM) have that, sorry bout that, it must have been alwaysbob.
	Report Comment Tulsa World Sports Writer John E. Hoover, (9/21/2009 1:57:50 PM) "the Sooners seem to have righted a ship...." Does seem premature when asking if they're ready to re-enter the national championship picture. That's why we used the word "seem" instead of "undoubtedly". And we're talking about a team that couldn't remember the snap count against BYU. (They're still having problems catching the football.) So using that game as a reference point, I'd say the ship seems righted. It'll be interesting to see how they respond to their first true road test.
	Report Comment justanotherokie, (9/21/2009 2:13:04 PM) Say what you want, Outstanding Defenses ALLWAYS shut down Outstanding Offenses. This weekend is a "kill'em all and let god sort them out" game.
	Report Comment Cooldaddy, Broken Arrow (9/21/2009 4:57:06 PM) OU should be proud and also pumped with their last two victories. They need to go down there and make a statement. A positive statement.
	Report Comment imahick, tulsa (9/21/2009 5:26:24 PM) it's going to be such a sad sad day for the crimson and cream after this batch of hurricanes do what the last batch failed to do!! go canes!!
	Report Comment oldnorthroad, (9/22/2009 4:26:02 AM) Time for the Sooners to put a give Miami another reality check, if VT does not do the job first.
	Report Comment eglkeeper, Lower Mongolia (9/22/2009 4:55:25 AM) You should be scared, real scared, without creative blitz packages and shut down corners you should be scared for the game will show the real problems with the Sooners inability to win big games. NO DEFENSE!!!
	Report Comment B_Tho, Guam (9/22/2009 6:08:06 AM) Miami is good and our D better step it up even more. Their receivers are big and athletic so it should be interesting. Let's hope they beat Va Tech so it will be an even bigger win for the Sooners!
	Report Comment Republicator, (9/22/2009 11:09:59 AM) Grambling State. please. They have a phenomenal band. Id go (except orange makes me puke)just to watch that. and the pokes to choke. OU will do just fine, Miami has speed, but I think our D line and corners are leaps and bounds to a shut down of the Miami thug club.
	Report Comment TMS, (9/22/2009 12:32:04 PM) OU is used to playing teams that are scared of them which makes their defense more effective. The good Miami teams feared noone. Miami has more team speed. Their running defense is not as good as OU but OU can't run very well. Murry and Brown have never been that good. OU had better be able to defend the deep pass and they have always had trouble with that. It will be close but Miami by 10.
