I think this year's team can be fun to watch, how much so won't be known until September 12th.Thanks for the link Plaino. Nice watching a little football footage over coffee in the morning.

Two issues that concern me the most are the receiving corps and offensive line. These two areas will make or break the level of success of any of the three quarterbacks. We complain about the level of play by Knight and Thomas last year....and for good reason....but the receiving corps made them really look bad too often. Case in point: Knight's performance would have been much better if he had had the same receiving corps....and Brennen Clay....that he had against Alabama. Bester, Saunders and Clay were the main elements of OU's win because the defense gave up big plays (as usual) and were greatly helped by Alabama's lackluster performance.CT, maybe it's my usual "drinking the kool-aid" prior to every season, but I'm starting to get on board with this being a much different year than last season. I'm not as gloom-and-doom as I was a handful of months ago. lol I don't see OU making a natty title run, but I can see OU racking up 10 wins and making it a much more solid season than many are thinking. You are right though, we will know exactly where this team is at after the Tennessee game on Sept 12th. I really think this is more of a team built for 2016 and beyond.

As the Oklahoma State loss last year is said to have had a hangover effect by OU vs Clemson, the same can be said of Auburn's "kick-six" field goal return to beat Alabama in 2013. Alabama, in my opinion, did not look like the team that played during the regular 2013 season when it played OU.
Thanks for the link Plainosooner. I think our offense has a chance to be really good. I am looking forward to watching the talented receivers we have step up this year.
Not that I care either way, but Alabama should not have played in the Sugar Bowl. That's not diminishing Auburn's win over Alabama at all, but that kick return was as much a fluky play as it was a heads up play. Alabama had its field goal team in, which means it had no speedy personnel on the field as it would have on punt/kickoff coverage. The returner fielded the punt in the back of the end zone, saw the defenders slow up, and made a great play.You're quite right CT about the receivers in the SB and Alabama players admitted they just didn't have their heart in that Sugar Bowl after having lost to Auburn in such an unorthodox and dramatic fashion. IE, OU played well enough to hang with them and were extremely lucky at the same time.
