This is simple. The game was lost on our missed opportunities in the first half and the end zone interception.
So, I hate the phrase "moral victory." But given what we've seen today, I feel comfortable calling this game a moral victory. Coming back from a brutal beating last week to hang w/a top five team is admirable. All I wanted to see out of this team is good effort week in and week out this year. I think we've seen a hell of an effort today.
I'm not sick about the game - that was last week.
There are certain THINGS about this game that makes me sick, but overall I thought we played well against a team that wanted to embarrass us.
Well, that's it. Still good effort. I'm upset about the loss, but feel good about the level of play. Feel even better about the fact that the team hasn't given up on the season yet. Who's excited for the Missouri "Tough as Rain" Tigers next week?
I'm excited for the next couple of years - when we're that undersized and under-talented, and we hang w/ Oklahoma all day, I think it shows signs for our future when we get more size and talent in here.
Tough as rain? We who cramp at style do wnat for on it bring!
Done is not. Tigers next to way.

I feel great about the Defense. The Special Teams have been Special Ed. The Offensive play calling is formation specific and predictable, and btw does not work.
I HATE this....three blown scoring opportunities. We could have shocked the world. And yet I'm totally encouraged by this. We WILL be a force to be reckoned with! No doubt, Chizik will take us to the promise land!
No doubt. Defense looked great against a team that was curbstomping opponents all year. As for the offense? Eh, what can you say? I'm kinda concerned about playcalling. I don't usually question it cause I'm not the OC and it's easy to judge when you're sitting on the sidelines, but the decision to keep running it up the middle was pretty sketchy.
And we seemed too be able to throw the ball down the field fairly successfully....should have done it more often than the up the middle runs and quick passes to the receivers. O-line did a fairly good job of protecting Bret today....considering the Oklahoma D-line.
The sad part is if OU played like this against any other team, they prolly would've lost. We just happen to be one of the worst programs, so OU lucked out today. We blew so many chances today it's ridiculous, I can't see why anyone would be happy about today's game. You know it's bad when you say "Wow, today was a great game, we only lost by 2 possessions instead of getting blown out".
(It's really hard to take this week after week, year after year!!)

No, I think this will help a lot! Kudos to the crowd...this is the game that we wanted to come back to and couldn't. Hopefully recruits see that a change is coming and they WANT to be a part of it.
