It’s crazy to say that the offense failed us when we put up 48 points, but I think it’s the truth. We had way too many 3-4 plays drives consecutively in the 3rd and 4th quarters which forced our defense to be on the field for ~25 more plays than the OU defense. Our starting front 7 are not world beaters to begin with, it becomes a big problem when they are gassed. All we needed to do was score a TD at some point during the 3Q and keep momentum from completely swinging. And even with the offensive failures, OU took 3-4 true miracle plays along with a massive helping from officials to pull it off.
Both of our lines basically suck. This is understood. But I think that we have a CHANCE to win out and make the title game. It’s going to take continued high level play tomorrow Casey and Bijan, plus at least competent play on the OL and DL but all is not lost at this point in the season. Vegas had our win total at 7.5 to start the year. If we can get 9 or 10 regular season wins, I would say the year is a success.
