Quinn has actually has scary good numbers against the blitz. It's when he felt like the pocket was collapsing that his happy feet would kick in. But he's done much better with that also and started to climb the pocket instead of trying to back away. Quinn has off of these type of games (Bama x2 and OU. Sucks last year). Hopefully that continues. Outside of the Xs and Os, I like us in this game. Our players have been in this game before so the environment of the RRR won't be overwhelming (those who haven't, have a game at Bama under their belt). OU has 48 new players on their team and their QB hasn't taken a snap in the cotton bowl. Out players have a big time game under their belt this year in a wild, hostile environment (actually lost the lead in it and held their composure) OU hasn't seen either. Iowa St gouged OU on the ground for over 150 yards with only 190 yards passing. The only thing that stopped ISU's ground game was the score. Cincy moved the ball on the ground well also. But OU on the other hand struggled running the ball vs the only team they played with a decent run defense, Cincy, and it showed on the scoreboard. Our lines have worn out everyone we've faced on both sides of the nall, including Alabama's and OUs lines are no Alabama's in size or depth. That is why we've suddenly become a 2nd half-4th quarter team. No ones lines have anything left in the tank in the 4th quarter. The way we were able to grind the last 7+ minutes off the clock by running the ball up the middle against Alabama in their own stadium with only a 10 point lead says it all. They were still checked in emotionally, but not physically. I think the shock of us actually beating them topped with how we were able to manhandle them like that at the end of why they were checked out against USF. The only game that didn't end the same was Baylor The only thing that kept our games from being a complete blowout (including Alabama) wasn't their defense. We've left 1 or 2 touchdowns off the scoreboard in all our games that were there, but WTF mistakes by a player, and not defensive play have kept the score from getting totally out of hand. OU's best shot at a win is to get on us early and make mentally check out, because if it's close midway through the 3rd, things will start to get ugly for OU as our Big Nasties in the trenches begin to really impose their will... We've faced a strong defense this year without issues... The only somewhat decent defense OU has seen was Cincy and they cannot say the same. We've faced a good offense, be it with a backup QB, but seeing that he has a couple of years of experience as a starter, and was the starting QB for the Kansas opener this year, going 22 of 28 (78.6% completion rate), 2 TDs 0 INTs, to say he's inept at running their offense is, well... OU hasn't seen an offense to speak of. Personally, I think Texas comes to play and puts OU away without much issue. The score will probably not reflect what's actually happening on the field for awhile, but when it ends, there Will be a 2 or 3 score separation. Or this OU team might collapse once again. They've faces no competition, no adversity, and no Texas this year. So if Texas puts them in a hole early there could very well be residual effects from that ass beating they took last year. But it is football and we've all know, especially in this game, how good or bad either have been during the season leading up to the game doesn't mean shit. The only certainty in the RRR is that no matter how many times we hit them, OU will continue to suck no matter how hard we try to knock that suck out of them. Death. Taxes, and OU SUCKs

Culture change and aggy... what can go wrong? Maybe the entire team hits the portal after the season instead of only half this year?

We have a long history of being hit by injuries at the worse positions possible for us, but it's only factored in when the other team loses due to their injuries.? Bwahahaha.. What's funnier is that he might be their backup, but he has more experience in games than Quinn. 2019 North Texas QB: he played in 7 games 22(ish) out of 35 attempts. 3 TDs 3 INTs. 2020 North Texas QB: he played in 8 games total and was the starting QB in seven of them. 2021 Started the first nine games for the Jayhawks … Set career highs in passing yards, attempts and completions at Duke 2022 saw playing time in every game. 2023 Started at quarterback in the season-opener … Completed 22-of-28 passes (78.6 percent) for 276 yards and 2 TDs. So it isn't like he was some freshman scrub. He knows the offense well and has a lot of experience running it.

Speaking of backups, there's a legit possibility that we would be 3-0 (with another Championship) instead of 1-2 vs Alabama our last three meetings if we'd not had to play most of the games with our hackups. They've been kryptonite with or against us.... There's no telling how a 2009 National Championship would have changed the last 15ish years for both schools. For us, it would have taken twice as many years to get rid of Mack and this would be the year we finally moved on from Strong, and heading into the SEC next year while ushering in the Herman wonder years.

Hahaha. The Dr Pepper commercial is perfect.... "Guys it was only the first play of the game (season)

Unless someone left on our schedule has the light switch come on, Kansas has the best offense we will face this regular season (possibly post season also). It's not surprising they kept it close the first half. Most decent teams in the Big 12 are going to. We will see the some super human (CO vs USC) type of shit until we finally wear them down and break them. Especially after we mudhole Mobilehoma next week. Not only do they all want to give us a ding on the way out, but knocking us out of playoff contention is the wettest of wet dreams for the B12 schools. It will be like the old SWC days when every conference game was THE RIVALRY game for the other school.

What i find interesting is that this moron doesn't know what a Bluebloods is. Turning a profit doesn't make a Blueblood. Without wasting any braincells on remembering all the Bluebloods that have come and gone, I'm not sure there's been 25 Bluebloods total... Bluebloods are schools who can generate enough revenue to shoulder the bulk of the cash for an entire conference, even through down periods. As revenue sources changed several old Bluebloods died.... It used to be in ticket sales, ECT they would generate at home and more so, on the road. Now it's media value... It isn't hard to separate the Bluebloods from the elites and the elites from the good programs... Now, among the select few true Bluebloods, there are three that are kings... Notre Dame, USC, and Texas. They've been called the Glamour programs by more than one national sports mouth... So besides money (Kelly from ND to LSU and who knows why else), it isn't hard to see why someone would leave OU for USC... Even when comparing apples to apples, they aren't equal.

Fuck'n Aaaaa

We literally sacked Alabama! Hook em

Ball game

Love it. They are getting good at the horns down.

Hook em

They can't cover our receivers

Fuck'n A

Boom!!!

You are correct. Two keys to the deep ball is timing and familiarity. The ball is out of the QB's hand, headed to a spot a long time before the WR is in place. If the WR is a little more amped than usual and running a shade quicker than he doesn't practice, it will make the pass underthrown. Just like if he's bumped and a little late getting to the spot, it will be overthrown, and that's when the QB and the WR are on the same page. If the ball goes to one spot and then we to another, it looks a lot like last year did. But we can talk about Ewers all we want, but the truth is until our O-Line pass protects better than they did Saturday, none of our QBs are going to do any better back there.

I agree. He's in his own head. Especially on the long ball. That split second of indecisiveness makes it look ugly on the far end... All the potential in the world but hasn't been able to get out of his own way. I have a feeling he either gets out of his head next week or he'll get replaced. Sark really likes this job and he knows he's running out of patience with the Ewers thing.

And that's the answer. Adjust your scheme to your current players, and not your current players to your scheme. I'm less concerned with Quinn's "deep ball" than I am with the O line's pass protection... One thing was obvious, our QBs are going to be seeing a lot of green in front of them. We have more weapons than defenses can scheme for.... With an O-Line that can pass block and a QB who can hit the deep throws, this offense would be virtually unstoppable. 3rd and longs would be a nightmare for DCs. Do you send the house on a prayer a quick slant doesn't bite you this time... Do you drop 8 against the empty set knowing if the QB decided to take off, it could be 3rd and 20 and he'd still have time to stop and make a Sandwich and still pick up spare change... You can't cover them all

Yeah, that was something different. I'd swear AD's move not only caught the back off guard, it did the same to Quinn. It looked like he was still dropping back on a deep drop when he realized that AD was already heading into the end zone and he had to make the throw then because by the time he'd caught his balance enough to get his feet underneath him and set, that window would have closed and AD would have been in the stands. He was moving. It was ugly either way, but probably the right call because the only option the cover guy had as bad as he was beat, was tondo exactly what he did, and mug AD before the ball got there. It just wasn't called. No surprise there though... I do question his deep ball, but outside of it, he wasn't that bad today. Rice did a good job of designing who they were sending and who was dropping back which made pur offensive line look stupid way too often, which isn't good for any QB. 19 of 30 with a catch by the x-man called back, another that Brooks just dropped (which would've been a touchdown) another one dropped in the end zone when our receivers bunched up, and the ball was knocked out of (whoever it was) hands by a defenders helmet.... seems like there was a couple of other drops but I might be wrong.... but either way, three more catches with two being touchdowns is a different picture, especially when you add two more passes that should have been flagged for blatant pass interference.... I'm not sold on Quinn yet, I'm on the fence there, but he isn't as bad as some of the idiots around here make him out to be. Colt couldn't hit the deep ball either, yet we know how much that mattered.... But there were plenty of idiots during most of his Sophomore year who wanted him benched also... wash-rinse-repeat is the standard around here

"Saw 'Em Off"... aggy with a saw. No wonder aggy is dickless.

I don't know how many we win this year but as a Texas fan, I'll go in balls deep with my own (Kool aid and alcohol induced) prediction. Not only is Texas going to beat 'Bama and OU but also Michigan and Georgia this year... yes THIS year. Hook 'em

It would've been funnier if the greasy fuck wasn't so slippery. He was like watching a greased pig. But in this case, i wasn't rooting for the pig.

I can't wait to hear how we killed the PAC just to keep aggy down.
