*** Oklahoma Sooners vs Texas Tech Red Raiders ***

[lash]

We have lost 3 games we should’ve won. 9-3 v 6-6. That’s on Brent

Agreed.

[BannedbyJoshM]

He has chokes, just like Bob and Riley has another heisman winner and CFP contender, buzz around the program and some passion for the program.

Uh, no. (Rolling eyes)

[ddyork05]

The clock management all year was terrible. Defensive game management was pretty bad too.

Brent too busy talking to the defensive players... Coaching em up....

[Sooner in SoCal]

Went to OT 48-48 with a team firmly in the bottom half of the FBS in both yards per rush and yards per pass attempt. I’ve seen enough of Lebby myself the last few weeks but he absolutely isn’t what ruined DG’s night.

DG does plenty to ruin his own night. The throw to Farooq that hit him in the feet only a few yards away epitomizes my assertion he is a marginal P5 qb.

The defense was doing fine, until the fake field goal, then the shit clock management going into halftime submarined them. The tide changed and they never recovered. Soft group on the D, the O has issues as well, meh QB and the line shows up sometimes, then takes plenty of time off.

BV talking about the clock management then it rears it's head again... coaches sure don't seem to be accountable for the nonsense. They keep repeating the same basic management errors.

[SEC]

Who won??

[MuleshoeSooner]

You’re assuming that OU won’t be making biannual trips to Starkville, right? Also, you’ll probably want to stay in Lafayette when OU visits Baton Rouge, but not along I-10.

I have lived in Lubbock previously for 4 years. Take my word for it. There cannot be a bigger shithole than that miserable wind blown arm pit. But name one location in the Big 12 that you would actually go to for a vacation except Austin or Ft. Worth...Stillwater? Ames? Manhattan?Lubbock? Waco? Morgantown? Lawrence...maybe.

[Ruprecht]

this team has mediocre Big 12 talent and they underachieved. simple as that. they didn’t improve through the season in any consistent manner on either side of the ball. if you were to take any roster in the conference it will be about the same as ours. four or five exceptional players and a lot of average players.

[MuleshoeSooner]

Ehhhhhh... 51 points isn't on the defense? I'm gonna beg to differ.

To a team that scored 14 points the week before.

if so, then BV is maybe the worst HC or close to it in the B12

[Jett]

Who won??

App State.

[Gridiron60]

48 points should win every game. THIS D IS TRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MuleshoeSooner]

It appears highly unlikely that the SEC will get more than one team in the CFP .

CFP contender doesn't mean shit. You either win it all or you don't. At season's end, USC will be where OU is and that is without an NC for the 2022 season. Riley will never win it all because he doesn't value defense. And it will get worse for him in the B1G.

[SEC]

App State.

Awesome.

Won’t happen unless Bama backdoors way in there with a lot of chaos. Three loss LSU ain’t getting in now even with a win over GA.

[61Sooner]

Did the defensive staff watch any film on Texas Tech from previous games? Were all those multiple QB lineups never ever used before game 12? It looked like we had no idea how to line up, defend or do anything but scratch our asses and saying duh. All season long any QB with 2 legs runs for 1st down on 3rd and long. Coaches never had a clue how to defend that after 12 weeks.
Not sure if Brent is an upgrade over Gary Gibbs as a game coach.
Was Brent ever considered a defensive genius while at OU? Given the players he had at Clemson, it would be difficult for anyone, even a mediocre defensive coach to fail.
I hope BV succeeds for the sake of OU football.
What do think the odds in Vegas would be that BV is the head coach at OU after the next 2 years?
As another armchair coach l will shut up and drop back into my easy chair.

[TXRaider00]

Kudos on the win. When was the last time you guys beat both Oklahoma & Texas and in overtime?

1st time ever.

[Crusher]

To a team that scored 14 points the week before.

24 points unanswered, 24.

“A lot of chaos” has happened today. Only need USC to lose next week for the committee to have to pick between Ohio State and Bama

TCU won big. LSU beat GA? USC won. Nothing happened today except Meatchicken beat OSU…which a worse case scenario for Bama. Just that puts Bama at a disadvantage rather than OSU beating Michigan. Clempsun lost. That’s a plus.

[LakelandSooner]

One good thing about OU sucking this season is when we lose a game like this it's not on sportscenter and no one really cares

[soonergrad]

75%

Michigan beating OSU big and Clemson losing were two things that had to happen. Oregon losing helped as well. 75% of the "chaos" needed happened today.

[Longcrawler]

I'm guessing Roof just retired. Lebby should be gone in a couple of weeks and Spray Tan will be the new OC.

[SoonerDave]

I've said it all season. BV gets a 1 season pass but he has to fire both coordinators and let the new hires decide who to keep. Just 1 more loss in a crappy bowl and this season can finally be over. Lets just hope we don't lose a lot of commits.

He's not going to *fire* any coordinators, and certainly not Lebby.

It would not surprise me to see Roof "retire" as "DC" (snicker) and maybe bring in a new WR coach or changes in the secondary, but dumping your OC while trying to hold together a recruiting class that's already had four defections is *not* going to happen.

Lebby's *overall* game yesterday did get us 48 points, and that total should win every game; so the underlying issue is obviously that the defense remains an unmitigated dumpster fire. But Lebby's *individual* decisions at *critical times* remain dumbfounding. The fake FG left three points on the table. The QB draw on 3rd and 11 in OT was utterly stupefying. The *insistence* in trying to remind everyone he's the smartest kid in the room with trick plays, ill-timed sweeps, short-side bubble screens even when the defense overloads to that side, are all mystifying. And, at times, the blocking in our run plays looks so complicated and take so long to develop you hold your breath for fear a disaster is imminent.

This year is over, a colossal failure and disappointment. But wholesale firings just takes us down the path of Nebraska. Let's revisit all this after next season.

Lebby’s issue is his offense has main 3 elements…..
1. Go big,
2. Run the read option QB RPO with a QB that almost never keeps and never does the PO
3. Screen passes for 0-4 yards.

It works in the first quarter until everyone figures out their keys and how we’re blocking for all of the above.

Then we mix in a few ill timed random trick plays to throw us out of any rhythm we ever establish.

We’re not consistent enough with 2 and 3 to make first down consistently, much less to make up for failed deep pass attempts….meaning we have a lot of 3rd and long. With an OL that is below average that’s a recipe for losing.

Couple that with an OC that seems to have limited situational awareness and a HC that does do real time coaching….well, you get 6-6 in a pretty average looking Big 12.

This offense sucks at 3rd down because we aren’t consistently good at any of the main elements we try to run.

If we had Georgia’s OL, we’d be fine with this offense….but then again with that OL, we could randomly pick any running play on the sheet at any given time with no situational awareness and be fine.

[Ogreuahole]

My bet is BV and staff are too well organized to repeat the same stuff next year. Harbaugh was blasted for a string of years cause he couldn’t win big games. The results we see now doesn’t mean that’s where OU football will be. The staff is recruiting well, it’s organized and energetic. I think year 1 has been like getting strapped into a rocket ship for BV as HC. Things will slow down and come into focus. All of these coaches have won a TON of football games. They know how to win. Get this recruiting class in, regroup and use this seasons experience as a springboard and improve next year.

[Boris Badenoff]

Had something else to do last nite and the game got turned off at halftime.

No TV or radio since. Just now going online...

Hoo boy, this is gonna be good.

(Prediction: Lebby is a total overpaid shithead.)

[Jett]

CFP contender doesn't mean shit. You either win it all or you don't.

This ^. Bob was successful convincing Sooner Nation OU football was all about winning WAC 12 championships. I don't know if Sooner football can recover from that hideous plague.
