  1. Brent Venables is 1-3 against Texas. Pretty sure he's the first Oklahoma coach to be 2 games below .500 against Texas since John Blake in 1998.
  2. Gangs allow membership into multiple gangs? How progressive and inclusive.
  3. Neto is very bad at pass protection.
  4. Oh I also fully expect Bama to score 40+ on Vanderbilt's defense. Vanderbilt is basically a 2010's era Big 12 team.
  5. Florida has allowed 16 points per game against probably the toughest schedule of anyone this season. If Arch lights it up Saturday, people need to stop being gaping vaginas and move on.
  6. The Bama coaching staff gets their pants pulled down by running QBs. I absolutely expect Vanderbilt to put up more points on them than Georgia did.
  7. It's the #128 scoring offense against the #3 scoring defense. Florida hasn't come close to 100 yards rushing against the last two ranked opponents, and Texas allows 59 a game. This is one of about 5 games left on the schedule where a B- Arch performance should still be a two score win.
  8. We chose the week after Wingo had 125 total yards and 2 TDs to say he's broken? Bold move.
  9. I get the reference but for specifically OU... 2009: Landry Jones comes in. OU gets 13 2021: Caleb Williams comes in. OU wins with 55. 222: Davis Beville plays. OU gets shutout. 2024: Hawkins plays. OU gets 3. Pretty decent for our defense. This year feels eerily similar to 2009 with the ratio of how good our team is compared to how much whining about our team our fans are doing. Plus some of the offensive struggles.
  10. You can find dozens of posts on here of people saying Mateer would get hurt if their offense consisted of him running the ball 10-20 times a game. Let's not act like this is some super unlucky fluke thing that just happened to Oklahoma.
  11. While I fully believed we were going to beat a healthy OU team, the benefit of this is what it does inside Norman. If Mateer is healthy and OU finishes 7-5, there is real heat on Venables and questions about the narrative Nagy has been building. With Mateer out, OU can go 7-5 and everyone will believe they were just one injury away. Venables will be back, Nagy will still be perceived to be a genius, and we get the continued mediocrity of Oklahoma football. In terms of just football talk, a run-only QB behind the worst run blocking line in the Power 4 should be a nightmare for them.
  12. Florida has averaged 11 points per game in their last three. Oklahoma scored fewer points against Illinois State than we did against San Jose State and they have the worst running game in the SEC. Georgia scored 28 against Austin Peay. Vanderbilt gave up more points to Georgia State than Texas did against the #1 team in the nation. A&M's defense has given up 86 points in 3 games. There's a very decent chance Texas won't allow 86 points until late October. Some of y'all talk football like Texas is the only team you ever watch and you hate watch every second of it.
  13. If schools really do see Bama, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Missouri, Auburn all in one year and then Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Mississippi State all in the other year on a consistent basis, you have to wonder if they deliberately load up in the portal on the latter years.
  14. I disagree with the notion that we can't learn anything about a team in a game against an opponent like SHSU. Arch was able to throw a 60 yard pass in stride. He was able to throw a 25 yard pass between the linebacker and safety. He was able to accurately place the 10 yard hitch off the rpo. These are things we needed to see before the bye. They are also things that translate in any game. If the whole game was Arch completing low, inaccurate passes to wide open receivers like on the first drive, I'd get it. But I'd say we saw an improved version of Arch versus a cupcake from what we saw against UTSA and ULM last year, which is what you would have expected before the trainwreck start.
  15. Texas, South Carolina, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Bama, Missouri, and LSU left of the schedule. OU has the exact record everyone assumed that would have at this point in the season. The 5 best teams they play this season are all ahead of them. They didn't beat Michigan or Auburn in a convincing enough manner to warrant the kind of hype they're getting from people who should know better like the Cover 3 guys.

    Clearly not. I swear Google led me astray and said no flex had been announced. Whoops.

    Florida Gators

    The week of the Florida game, ABC/ESPN also has FSU-Miami, Bama-Vandy, A&M-Miss State, and Georgia-Kentucky is locked in at 11 on ESPN. OU locked in at 3 on SEC. Guessing the FSU game will be 6:30 on ABC, Bama game 2:30 on ABC, A&M at 7 on ESPN, and Texas at 11 on either ABC or SEC network.
  18. It was one thing when their traditional run game was bad, but Matter could get yards. Now they have no running game at all.
  19. This is the correct take. It's worrisome that at any random time, Bizarro Arch might appear, but the fact that it's not something in which he's still stuck is a positive sign. And also probably good for everyone's mental health heading into a bye week.
  20. A lot of you are making this very complicated. The QB is missing wide open receivers and targets who are a few yards away from him. That's the problem. Not the coach, not the tight ends, not the line, not the QB coach, not the defensive end. People like to feel like the world isn't random. It's why conspiracy theories exist. It's why people look to blame politicians after natural disasters. No one wants to admit the universe is a scary, random place. The QB has randomly lost the ability to throw, there is no one to blame, and there is no remedy available. We are all left to hope it randomly changes.
  21. I'd like to see how light a box needs to be for Oklahoma to actually be able to run the ball with their RBs. Even Temple is taking away the run.
  22. The 2023 Michigan Wolverines won the national championship leaning on an elite defense and a running back room that averaged 4.8 (Corum) and 4.2 (Edwards) yards per attempt. Their QB threw 1.8 passing TDs per game and they beat inferior G5 non conference opponents 30-3, 35-7, and 31-6. The 2025 Texas Longhorns have an elite defense and a running back room averaging 5.0 (Wisner) and 4.5 (Baxter) yards per attempt. Our QB has averaged 2.5 passing TDs per game and we beat an inferior G5 non conference opponent 38-7. But our team is ass, our OL coach is terrible, our strength coach doesn't know what he's doing, our QB shits when he throws, and the season is doomed unless we start winning games 70-0.
  23. You're probably right, but Auburn might have 4 of the best 5 skill position guys in that game.
