Welp...i was saying 9-3 after last week.

Hello 5-6.

No discipline.
No fire
Punting on 4th and 4
Taking a meaningless TO just so Baylor could pick up the first early in 3rd Quarter.

Clownshow coaching staff.

For those of you that scream..."but, but, but, TBOW gutted us!" Why can TCU and KSU, and even TT for that matter field a competent defense with 0-3 star players?

This is a coaching problem, and outside of DeMarco, and BB Brent better be looking for fvcking solutions. This is not acceptable at a place like OU.

OU-Baylor Game Notes ...

TEAM NOTES

• Attendance for Saturday’s game at Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium was 83,546, marking OU’s 145th straight sellout of an originally scheduled home game, dating back to the start of the 1999 season. It is the nation’s second-longest current streak.
• OU fell to 84-6 since the start of the 2012 season when scoring at least 35 points.
• This was only OU’s second home loss to Baylor (the other was in 2014). OU is now 28-5 all-time against the Bears (14-2 at home).
• The Sooners converted 10 of 15 third downs in the game (67%) and allowed Baylor to convert only 4 of 13 third downs (31%). It was the sixth time this season the Sooners have held an opponent below a 40% third down conversion rate.
• Oklahoma gained 499 yards of total offense (261 passing, 238 rushing). It totaled at least 200 passing yards and 200 rushing yards for the fifth time in nine games this season and the 51st time in 101 games since the start of the 2015 season.
• Oklahoma held Baylor to 132 passing yards, the second-lowest output by an opponent this season. The Sooners held Kent State to 131 passing yards.

• Registered his first career interception on a play in the second quarter. Finished with two solo tackles.

QB DILLON GABRIEL

• Completed 22 of 34 passes for 261 yards and two touchdowns and threw three interceptions (had one INT on the year entering today). He also rushed nine times for a career-high 70 yards and a 10-yard score on OU’s first possession of the game.

RB ERIC GRAY

• Rushed for 106 yards and touchdowns of 5 and 1 yards on 20 carries (4.6 average). He also notched career highs of eight receptions (tied for career; set an OU high) and 58 receiving yards.
• This was his third straight 100-yard rushing game and sixth of the season. He is the first OU running back with three consecutive games of 100-plus rushing yards since Rodney Anderson had four straight in 2017.
• Became the first OU running back with eight receptions in a game since DeMarco Murray had eight vs. Missouri in 2010.

DB KEY LAWRENCE

• Established a career high with nine total tackles (seven solo).

• He was also the last OU receiver to gain at least 100 receiving yards in a first half (102 yards on four catches vs. Tulane in the first half of the 2021 season opener). He had 120 receiving yards in the second half of OU’s 2021 win vs. Texas.

WR DRAKE STOOPS

LB DANNY STUTSMAN

LB DASHAUN WHITE

• Made his 45th career start in his 59th career game. He is alone in second place at OU for starts among linebackers, trailing only the 53 career starts made by Travis Lewis (2008-11). He entered the day tied with Rocky Calmus (1998-01) for second place.
• Finished with eight tackles, 0.5 TFL and one pass breakup.

4th down

Not the Major failure. The punt.

In hindsight, it obviously didn't work. But I feel like this was a message to the defense. We've grown accustomed to winning these tight games by just outscoring opponents and not worrying about the defense.

I think the decision boils down to BV telling the defense that the team will succeed when the defense learns to succeed in these tight spots. Sink or swim.

They sunk today, and have been sinking a lot lately. But BV doesn't want to win the way Lincoln did. BV has shown aggression at times this season, but he's learning how to pick those spots. Maybe this 4th down should have been one of those spots, but I understand the decision to punt.

Just my 2 cents that nobody asked for. 🫡
