Hey OU fans

[campinfool]

WTF? OU is fucked with both lines. I may have some leftover cyanide capsules from the previous 2 Texas seasons I could sell cheap and overnight to you.

Not hitting the panic button yet...altho the facebook OU fans are so much better coaches let me tell ya.

I am concerned with the D line getting pushed around...

the Oline was getting Landry's ass kicked

Eh, we have issues on the offensive line but to be honest we almost always have since James Patton became the Oline coach. Really only have had one great line during his tenure (2008) and anyone has to admit that isn't so difficult when all five of your starters are now starting in the NFL and two of your reserves are in the NFL now as well. Had some good pass blocking teams but have never been able to pass and run block under him.

We got pushed around on both lines but the Defensive line had three of our DTs in the rotation out for various reasons. My bigger issues with defense are . . . The absolute lack of fundamentals when tackling; nobody breaks down, nobody keeps their head up, and nobody wraps up. It was embarrassing. But also what sort of philosophy is the front seven using this year? You watch Bama, Michigan State, LSU, and USC they shoot off from the line at the snap and attack the ball. Oklahoma stands up on the line and the LBs just wait for the play to come to them.

On offense . . . Do we even know how to snap from under center anymore, do we even have a formation in the playbook we still use to allow us to do so?!?! I'm not saying to totally scrap the pistol but sweet baby Jesus we have one of the best FBs in college football, who has TB speed, in MIllard and a big fast TB with break away speed in D.D. Williams and we show no signs of even attempting to run down hill!!! We were told Millard was going to get 5-15 touches a game this season and he had two going into the fourth quarter. Why can't we line up in some sort of I formation 5-15 times a game and play some hard nose football? Not to mention we have a play maker that can play TB and slot receiver who is elusive, shown he has good hands, and ran for 690 yards the second half of the season last year in Roy Finch and he didn't even see the field last night!

We had some bright spots. The secondary looked like a lock down unit, D.D. Williams at TB is definitely the real deal, and Justin Brown looks like a good addition at receiver.

I won't pretend I am a better coach than Bob Stoops but at the same time I'm not willing to ignore some serious deficiencies on our staff (Patton and Kittle) and the way our front seven tactically played last evening.
