The jury still has to be out on Williams though. He caught lightning in a bottle today, but I'm not convinced he'll be able to sustain that level of play once teams adjust. We honestly got beat on 2 plays, the direct snap counter and Williams throwing the ball up to Mims. 

there isn't anybody in the big 12 that is going to beat Oklahoma after this. Williams can sleepwalk to the CCG game.  maybe we can get another shot.

Maybe but I don't think Williams should be anointed so soon either. We've seen this before ourselves with Heard. Hopefully we get another shot at him in the CCG.

Game plan 2nd half. Bijan gets ball every play we score 6-10 points and grind a shit load of clock. It was truly that simple. Instead we get I dunno what. It was a mess. Where was the short pass game? Quick hits? 

So Thompson went with his first option every pass play or maybe his first option "quick hits" were covered on some plays.

[Brothahorn 10096]

Fuck 0u.

I dislike them the way some of you dislike aggy. And games like this are the reason.

He is talented and has a really good arm but he had the 60 yard td that should have been a run for one yard and threw a couple long passes up for grabs that his receivers made plays on, he did hand off on those counters like a hall of famer though.

OK. Quick hits were all covered the 2H. 🙄

[Surly Bevo 25655]

They rushed for 340 yards on us.....we have to fix that as it is going to continually get us beat.

Oh and yea our O=line sucks

Coaching needed go find some creative misdirection in the second half when they were dialed in on Bijan.  

[Nueces River Rat 5739]

I’m looking at more positive now than it was a couple hours ago although it’s still a shit sandwich.    I think we can still finish 10-2 and play these MF’ers again at Jerryworld.   With the exception of Kansas, every game on our schedule will still be tight.   No doubt we got fucked a few times by the Refs and even when the Sooner sunshine pumpers on ESPN/ABC noted it. I think the damage is minimal in this game.   On a Hurricane scale, it’s like being hit by a weak Cat 1, maybe barley a storm.   I wish a coach or AD would ball up and  call out the Rig 12 and their inherent biases towards OU and their just shit efforts overall.    If they fine them, I’ll contribute to a go fund me to help pay the damn fine.   

Questions on my mind 

1). What happened to Rojo and and K Robinson? I think having them involved would have made OU adjust for a different style.    
 

2).  Do we have anyone we are redshirting who could help on the Oline or D line?

Its gonna be really hard to find a freshman who can help.  the difference being in a D1 S&C program for a couple of years is night and day.

Fuck. 

Recruits have a totally different experience than fans do. Sure you want to join a winning program, but short of a blow out a tight loss isn't the deft nail, Recruits are looking at culture, comaraderie, and most importantly opportunity.  These guys don't get to see the winning locker room.  They only see how Sark and the players handle it.  Provided we don't shit the bed the rest of the way, then we'll have a better class than ou when all is said and done.

Correct.   Nick Saban went to Bama which was a complete shit show and was able to recruit despite going 7-6 his first season.   Two years later he won his first BCS… 

[InkaUtexas 26800]

They won. we lost. I am glad I am not from Oklahoma since they still suck. 

They adjusted to our scheme. 

[Sgt Hulk 14330]

Honestly. I don’t even wanna have sex with south Austin’s mom right now 

[Auto Driller 2563]

We fucked up by completely abandoning the lateral run/pass game in the 3rd and most of the 4Q. Those plays to Worthy, Moore, and (should have been) K Robinson would keep the defense honest and prevent them from crashing down every play against Bijan or to rush the passer. They worked great in the first half. No idea why we stopped.

[ocugolf 1220]

The effort by 28 on the last play was inexcusable. Looked like he was jogging, took a bad angle, then reached out his arm to try and arm tackle after the bad angle. Frustrating.

[Sgt Hulk 14330]

Also how long is Whittington down for?

I’m baffled as to why Sark insisted on spamming Bijan in the second half after OU keyed in on him. Where was the jet sweep to K. Rob? How about an end around?

I would guess 6 weeks for a collarbone? Which means the season. Or maybe get him back for another Texas bowl.

They did a great job of decoying Bijan in the first half when they were dialed in on him.

In the second, we just had him run right at them too much, and they were still dialed in. Not sure why we stopped using him to draw their attention and open things up.

[Handcruser 2814]

I didn’t see k Robinson at all. One of our most most electric weapons was a non factor.

I really thought with sark we might start get holding called on OU or at least coach our guys to hold but I guess not based on the comments.  Why don't we teach our line to hold also?

If the refs were this bad against ousux, I cringe to think of the calls to come against okie light.

It looked like piss poor effort by the entire defense on the last play.  I know they were tired, but good grief you got to nut up for that play no matter what.

its OU.  the OL will be able to hold enough to allow him plenty of time in the pocket.  they are the conf only chance for the playoff now.

Watching the Penn State Iowa game makes me appreciate how good OUs receivers are and wish we had gone after Iowa’s DC (assuming it’s not just Ferentz)

Well, if we are going to go 1-1 vs OU this year let this be the loss.     Fuck Oklahoma.

You don't deserve to win if you think blowing that lead was acceptable.  Doing nothing on offense in the 3rd was a huge part of that

Yes, the WR stepped out, and they still let him have the catch on review. And the ball coming out of Williams's hand should have at the very least been reviewed. The ABC ref expert had it as afumble, saying the QB's hand was on the way UP when the ball came out.

This is how refs fix games. Everything was one-way. Review might help us? No review. Review can hurt us? Always a review. Review should negate a catch where the ou WR stepped out? Review & still call it a catch. Holding called only once on ou all day. No call on obvious hold on GWTD. Hands to the face? Facemask? Never called, etc, etc, etc...

Big 12 making sure we get fucked on the way out the door. Fuck 'em. I still think we lose no more than 1 more game. Probably none, and we get a rematch with dirt burglar.

[gmr548 16681]

If the refs were this bad against ousux, I cringe to think of the calls to come against okie light.

The reception where the OU receiver stepped out in the first half was a head scratcher to the point that I need someone to explain the rule to me because surely no crew would attempt such a brazen steal.

The third and 19 score probably should’ve gotten an instant replay review. Watching live it was hard to say but certainly worth looking at. That Sark didn’t throw the challenge flag tells me the upstairs staff said it was a waste of a time out though.

Beyond that I don’t really recall any horrid flags against Texas. A few missed hours on OU but if you’re still bitching about that like it’s not enshrined in the rule book at this point idk what to tell you.

At the end of the day Texas lost because they’re not that good. OU spotted them 14-0, 28-7, 41-23. Bitching about the refs is laughable.

Far it from me to suggest we hired the wrong guy (again), but that Lincoln dude can coach.

Ehh I wouldn’t say wrong guy yet.  He’s much better than Herm.

Two holds on that last TD run, the illegal touch in the 1st quarter and the possible fumble on the throw is probably enough to change the outcome of this game. No doubt there was questionable coaching and we were outmanned. I'm biased of course, but can you think of one call that was missed against the good guys where ousux got screwed? That's an honest question because I don't know.

[Had Enough 2108]

Yeah.  People are bitching for nothing.  The guy did step out of bounds.  But other than that the calls were right.  They were just inches and milliseconds and they all went their way.

That was huge. And you’re ignoring no penalties until midway thru 4th

Not true at all. The fumble was called incorrectly deep in their territory. The issue was the non- calls for false start, delay of game, face masks towards the end. Opi, and about 25 blatant holds that all impacted the play.

I am not upset about X’s strip. That was legit. I am fine with the false start against us. That was legit. I am upset they didn’t call the 2 oline men from OU jumping and everything else.

[Aces_Full 41]

Why do we fair catch KOs at the 8 yard line, but return ones 8 yards deep in the EZ?

I don’t know about two plays. He was 16/25 for 212 with two TD’s. They ended with 323 through the air and 339 on the ground….
