Tonight's game looked like a blowout, until OU let KSU back in the game. I liked the comback OU made late in the game.
Go Sooners, beat OSU.

All OU needs is a Head COACH.

Glad to get the win. Hope the Sooners win out.

Amazing how 3 losses lowers team expectations. Coach Bob and then Grandpas Bob Barry and Merv on radio were sounding chipper about how well the offense came back.

There was a unreal happiness on converting a 1st and 45. They all glossed over that sloppy play, stupid penalties and bad physical mechanics made the OU offensive line a bad joke once again.

OU hammered K-State in the first 5 minutes and then fooled around and let them back in the game. The defense looked clueless at times and pretty much let K-State do what they wanted. I got the impression a few times that the defense had given up.

The Sooners won almost in spite of themselves. They found new ways to shoot themselves in the foot when they were on the edge of blowing the Mildcats out of the stadium.

It is obvious to me that Sooner Magic has been replaced by Sooner dumb luck. This game is a "W" even though you have to hold your nose to avoid the smell.

Apparently you haven't watched much college football this year, surfin. Most will take any win they can get and be happy with it. It's not like we're that concerned with style points in our current situation. Win out. Win the bowl game. Finish in top 8 or 10 and reload for next year.

Good win!

42-30 is "dumb luck"? I guess OU just went out there scratching their helmets in cluelessness, the whole game, and somehow won.

the game was a lot closer than what the score shows,very sloppy,NO MOTIVATION,lack luster,is this the begining of big game bob's demise ?
this (3 losses) is a blessing,why get your hopes up,only to loose a bcs game,cause ya KNOW it would happen, fans,get ready for about 10 yrs. below average seasons,
oh well,maybe next year,or the next,or the next,or the next...................

The word "Dumb" belongs to those bloggers that have posted all the negative comments.

How in the world do you get a "delay of game" penalty first and goal from the 1? Come on Wilson....get your act together. How hard is it to call a QB-sneak or a power isolation???

Steff M, Claremore (11/1/2009 8:25:46 AM)

gba, the score shows that the game WAS pretty close, at least in the 2nd half, and I think you got us confused with OSWho on the below avg. seasons and the maybe next year thing. Also, lackluster is one word and you don't "loose" a game, you LOSE it. It's the root word for LOSER, a word I'm guessing you're very familiar with.

Surfin'USA, Pacific Beach (11/1/2009 8:44:33 AM)

I've watched a LOT of college football this year and this team for more years than most of the posters here have been alive. Style points? Let me understand, you have them down 21-0 and have to scramble with 2 touchdowns late to win the game? K-State won the 2nd half 21-14. Style points? OU has rarely looked so sloppy in the Stoops era.

OU had 8 penalties for 85 yards. The reason no one could remember picking up a 1st and 45 is because ITS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE in OU history. Prior teams never put themselves in that position. Not even John Blake's teams.

And yeah, 25 years ago Sooner Magic existed, the ability to rise to the occasion and win big games and put away opponents you should beat. No one who remembers Sooner Magic will admit the Sooners have it today. You can be happy with 42-30 but there was a time when that game last night would have ended 42-7. The Sooners accomplished their goal by winning, but the way they did it will never go down as a thing of beauty.

I'm down on the Sooners because I expect more. They have the talent and I think Stoops is a good head coach. I think the assistant coaches do not do a good job adequately preparing these guys for games and I don't see that swagger that used to beat down other teams.

If that is negative, then I plead guilty.

Unbiasedfan0315, (11/1/2009 9:21:27 AM)

I thought that the Sooners played another lackluster game. They were pretty fortunate to slide past the Wildcats, in my humble opinion. They are going to have to do much better than that, to reverse the trend of disappointing and embarrassing seasons over the last several years.

PhoenixIX.. How bout the Jenks High School "Cheats" Football coaching staff? My Money stays with Stoops!!

shaw411, Scottsdale, AZ (11/1/2009 9:48:17 AM)

What will it take for the OU coaches to get these guys prepared to play a full 60 minutes every week? OU managed to win this game but they need to dominate for 4 quarters and not 1 in future games to win out. It was good to see Miller grab some catches.

Hornhater. You are the only one making dumb comments that I can see.

Steff M, Claremore (11/1/2009 2:30:13 PM)

Like I said surfer, a win is a win. Can't blow everyone out every time. And shaw, coaches don't make plays, players do. Why don't you call em and give em some coaching tips.

Rapid Robert, (11/1/2009 9:27:52 PM)

In your "Report Card" you gave OU's offense a "B-". Let's see: 6 touchdowns; 5 of 5 red zone touchdowns; 10 of 13 conversions of third downs; no turnovers; 26 of 37 passing (70% completion ratio); and 458 total yards!!

Yep, that sure sounds like a barely passing grade!! By the way, what would the stats need to be for you to give a "B" or "B+", let alone an "A"?

For what its worth, my grade of your Report Card has been an "F" all season!! I am thankful The World has Guerin Emig to provide us some excellent writing and objective reporting on the Sooners!

i was at the game we looked good in the first half but the second half our D lost it we should have blown K state out but we didnt bc of our D. Kevin Wilson is not that smart its 1 and 45 and we run the ball come on a good Offensive coach would not do somthing stupid like that. We need to pass the ball more screw running the ball we can throw so throw the ball.

Steff M, Claremore (11/2/2009 11:43:58 AM)

I agree with you to a certain extent mike, but DeMarco Murray looked like a small AD on many runs. Hard not to want to give him the ball when he's running over people or dragging defenders behind him.
