*** Official #18 Oklahoma vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[JM4CY]

Honestly... I’ll take that first half. Our DBs need to improve. Our OL needs to improve. The refs need to take their crimson glasses off. Yet we are only down 4 to a really good program and we get the ball.

We won’t win unless our o line steps it up big time

 

[EnkAMania]

If we stop them on 3rd down, we'll win.

 

[NWICY]

We are within striking distance.

Started to get caught up to OU's speed a bit there on D.

It looked much better once OU had to think about pressure coming from somewhere other than the three guys lined up at the snap.

this kicker has a very serbian last name.

It actually is a pretty common last name in Serbia.

 

[cyatheart]

Last offensive possession was totally different

last defensive possession was totally different

Interesting, showing done life now

 

[CentexCyclone]

Better 2nd quarter. I like the different looks and stunts disrupting Rattler's flow. Rushing defense is serviceable to good. Need to find a way of countering OU's speed when Cyclones on offense. OU is good but not all world.

We are within striking distance.

After the first 2/3s of the game, that is a good position to be in. ISU was not even slowing them down in the first 3 possessions.

Oklahoma pretty chippy tonight. Feels like we are playing Baylor with all these cheap shots.

Gonna need to play keep away with a run game.

It's boring, but I swear it still works.

 

[Neptune78]

Keep blitzing. Brock looks good, let him throw on 1st down. Hall is a beast, keep feeding him.

 

[67CY]

If holding is called as it should be, especially when it’s by the face mask, Rattler would’nt be doing what he is

 

[CentexCyclone]

We are within striking distance.

Nice to not give up a score in the last 2 minutes of the half.

 

[Crookedhatkid]

Dodged a bullet there. Biric is the best kicker in the country.

 

[Lineup]

open up the play book and go for it Manning

 

[CycloneErik]

Defense looked totally overmatched early, but they don't now.
We start the 2nd with the ball, right? This isn't a bad spot.

 

[CentexCyclone]

Keep blitzing. Brock looks good, let him throw on 1st down. Hall is a beast, keep feeding him.

Would like to see him get 5-7 called runs/game: it stresses the defense and he is just better on the run.

 

[Rabbuk]

It actually is a pretty common last name in Serbia.

I went to elementary school with a lot of serbian american kids.

Hopefully rattler starts attempting some risky throws when we blitz. He seems like he is turnover waiting to happen.
