Official Game Thread - Game #2 - OU vs. Tennessee

OUs best defensive series have been when they're aggressive, blitzing and playing guys tight. Let's see if Mike can get back to that, or if he continues to have the guys playing reactive.

Lotta speed on that D - need to get the DL penetrating, and the back 7 not giving up easy 4-8 yard passes a la TCU. Beat us deep if you can, or we'll light you up.

This one is not on the defense. UT has had great field position the whole game. Short field. The defense is playing great. Do it in the second half and get the offense rolling and we can win this one...........

Ha Ha. Butch Jones quote before the game
  • "Oklahoma is a top 5 team....We need to get better in a hurry".
  • "They're a great football team. I think they're one of the most underrated football teams in the country and you can tell they have a quiet confidence about themselves. They're very skilled, they're physical, they're tough. And they're a complete football team in all three phases."

I would love to have some of whatever he is smoking. Lol

And the 2nd quote about having a quiet confidence.....is that what he was saying when he was hanging up Striker's quotes for locker room motivation??
 
This game isn't over yet. But there is no doubt that OU has never gotten into a rhythm. Which is one of the weaknesses of a spread offense. This offense just isn't clicking. Timing is off as Baker isn't given the time to go through progressions.

Hoping they'll calm down at half time. I still say they're beating themselves and pressing too hard.

Let's see how well Riley's adjustments go this week. 2nd half of last week the offense made a big difference. But this isn't Akron. Let's hope the offense comes out and gets back into this game, and the defense keeps stepping up.
 
Good first half for us but you can bet OU will be making adjustments at the half. Still think the 2nd half is up for grabs. I am ecstatic at the way our dbacks are performing. Hated to see the injury. GO VOLS!


Still up for grabs, but OUr O-line is getting beat pretty badly. We'll need some turnovers or short fields in the 2nd half to climb back into it. A little disappointed in our receiving corps willingness to fight for the ball, but credit UT's DBs for some of that.... and we have to clean up the penalties on offense.

Great crowd, by the way. Wish I could have been there.
 
Jordan Thomas wouldn't start at Kansas. Where did these other guys go - Austin, Taylor, etc?
 
Frustrated!!! We need something positive right now!!! Tough games on the road, somebody needs to step up and make a play....OL is not helping, BUT we should be able to work with it...C'mon Sooners!!!

How big leak,? Looks like he is talking 100mph on the sidelines... Wake up! That was his weakness in games. He never calmed down

Even though he isn't the starter....he is doing what he can to help win the game!! I like his TEAM attitude when he could have gone the other way!!
 
Penalties are killing us...its time to get the players pumped up as much as I hate to say...bring in Knight
