1) I get Lincoln Riley wants to rotate WRs, but Shepard should never come off the field, especially when he is the only proven WR

2) I'm ready for the youth movement on the O-Line. Give me Brown/Alvarez/Darlington/Dalton/Samia. Dumb done the protections and role with it. OU is doing them self no service playing Nila/St. John as this point. It would be better to try and build confidence in they young guys and prepare them for the end of the year and next year. The 3 seniors are not playing like you'd expect at all.

3)Two D-Line most game with Tapper playing basically at DT was laughable. He was getting mauled. Don't know how they thought this was a good idea when he isn't even a dominate edge player, but then again thats Mike Stoops out thinking him self.

4)Where were the screens/quick routes all game. For the screens, I believe it is because they don't trust the O-Line at all so they cant afford for them to pick up blocks on screens. As for the quick routes, I'm believing this is where Mayfield height is an issue and is why Riley isnt calling slants or quick routes in MOF. They do try and hit MOF but its genarly 10+ yards down field.

5) Mark Andrews. Must I say more?
