Oklahoma defense is scary !!!! They destroyed Bama

Need more Giant screens outside the stadium . It is ridiculous how few TV screens are placed outside if you cannot get a ticket .

OU making moves on defense . Venables got his defensive guy

Venables is a monster coach on defense and OU found a rising star as Offensive coach. Texas and OU will play again and it will be up inthe air who wins. What was more obvious is OU was more physical and more ready. So yes coaching was the difference because Ewers played great ( except the interceptions) and the team clicked most of the day.

that goal line stand was difficult to comprehend. their DL was not supposed to be this sturdy. But overal they were the more physical team .

Texas 27 OU 24 A much closer game than expected. This will be close as OU has a stout defense and some good receivers . If Ewers throws interceptions , Texas could lose

because Gabriel , who was out last year, is injury and concussion prone, and OU is much deeper this year. Arnold , is much more dangerous either way, Horns have to win the Big12 this year. enough is enough .

This year RRR will be different obviously , as OU has a good back up QB in Jackson Arnold. A scary QB . But the horns should still win by 2 Touchdowns

Very true . He looks over his head here at Texas . Not sure he has the ability to be a head coach at a top tier program . Sad to see this after all this time . Players are not reacting well to him nor is he a good gameday coach . A new coach search will probably be needed by next year if this this continues .

What is the problem with the offense? 3 points only after a half ? WTF

FSU had a potent offense . Defense not bad either . Closer game than I thought however .

Oklahoma playing a good game

Sark wardrobe and body language seems to indicate his mindset is messed up. This could get ugly quickly. There is a reason he failed at USC . Ewers has regressed as the year unfolded

The portal will help OU speed up their recovery. They have an elite 5 start QB coming next year , Jackson Arnold. Plus Venables is a defensive guru who will figure things out eventually.OU looks like Texas last year but a bit worse i think . But things change and big time programs with deep pockets rebuild faster. Except for Nebraska and Miami andI USC who i think made terrible coaching and organizational decisions. OU will stick with Venables at least 3 years. Lincoln riley certainly masked a lot of the defensive issues with his high potent QBs and offense. OU conceded many points last year and lost to baylor and OSU and shoudl have lost to Texas ( if not for Caleb Damn williams ) Tulane and Nebraska in Norman. So this is a talent drain that has been developing for a while. Lincoln did a number on OU for sure by taking Caleb williams . It is a QB game . Look at the horns with Ewers and without him. Bottom line , Texas has to win the big12 and no more slippage please. Sark has to beat Baylor and OSU , period.

Beville is the backup . he struggled a lot. he is a portal trnasfer from Pittsburgh.

Texas 44 OU 31

seems the OL is still struggling. Nebraska will be a tough outing for OU. Red River rivalry looking like a win for Texas

many QBs out there to pick from the portal . Sark had a great gameplan regardless. defense was fantastic,

how come sark never picked a viable 3rd string seasoned QB from the portal ? he knows QB injuries against Bama are posssible. to have just a freshman Malik as 3rd string QB is crazy. plenty of good QBs out there at the portal.

Good analogy. I hope the horns show up and make a huge statement. Sick of the Bama dominance and saban arrogance. Hope sark has a plan. horns cannot lose by a score like 48-12 , otherwise it will be a bad omen for Sark

Oklahoma under venables may be much better than under Riley. Venables has won 3 national champsionships as a DC and has played in 8. he is a tough no nonesense coach.

good points overall but here are some pointers from my perspective 1- Lincoln did improve the OU offense indeed , but it has become stale the last 2 years and many defenses found it out. Note the disaster against LSU , and the losses to KSU twice and other games which OU barely won . They should have lost the West Virginia game in norman ( managed only 14 points or so ) and it was all blamed on poor rattler. OU almost lost to tulane and to nebraska in Norman . needless to mention the defense under grinch was a disaster. OU should have lost to the horns if not for divine intervention and a crazy few palys by Caleb. Will see how he does with the offense at USC , albeit the big 12 defenses are a tad better than the pac 12 . 2- if lincoln reaches 9 wins in the regular season then he has certainly elevated and he could have a good run. The defense and the lack of physicality of his OU teams are hard to forget however since he esssentially took the same staff from Norman to LA. 3- Not sure why you think Sark will fail here at texas. Last year was not good for sure, but interesting to note you think he has no chance in austin given all the talent. 4- Lincoln is a great recruiter of elite offensive weapons ( Qbs , Wrs . RB). that am sure of . But am not sure how the defense will stand up to Notre Dame , Utah , and maybe Oregon . UCLA and Stanford will be a test .

agree. there is a strong rumor in dallas media that he will be coaching in dallas in 2-3 years. Stephen jones likes lincoln a lot. He is seen as a better version of the arizona cardinals coach Kingsberry . Cowboy fans are not enamored with that idea at all , but want to get rid of McCarthy too.

Yes he has done some good recruiting for 2023 , but Texas is doing better , and by the way so is OU. Both are higher so far than USC . Riley needs to solve the defensive issues and that starts with recruiting elite defenses to survive the Big10 move.

let me explain why as i have watched riley carefully for 5 years. 1) riley inherited a humming OU team with 2 Heisman QBs already recruited by Stoops ( Mayfield and Kyler). Riley is a great offensive recruiter and players are attracted to him , but that is not enough as OU has seen , He has issues developing QBs . Spencer rattler bolted to South Carolina for a reason. Another stud QB left OU to SMU and flourished. 2) The OU defense regressed under riley. Improved for a bit after he fired Mike Stoops , but mot enough. 3) Riley is a great recruiter and is very cerebral in offensive football, but loses games unexplicably due to some in game managemen issues. He lost twice to Kstate and was outcoached by Iowa state and other coaches in the big 12 several times. 4) Grinch will have issues improving USC's defense . His style does not fit top tier teams. 5) lincoln brought with him most of the staff that lost unexplicably last year to Baylor and Ok State and almost lost to Kansas by the way , and the horns should have won that game if not for a meltdown and the heroics of caleb williams. Bottom line , i think riley will improve USC to 8-3 -7-4 regular season but will plateau , especially against top tier defenses and BIg 10 defenses. Riley could bot to the NFL by 2025 under pressue as losses pile up in the Big10.
