Believe. Believe. Believe.

Thank you for not running it there, Lincoln

 

[ca4cy]

I don't want to abandon the run game, but I'm not sure Breece up the middle is going to cut it.

Agreed. We can't abandon it, but we need some imagination in it. Maybe a two back set with Brock as a lead blocker? Something.

 

[helechopper]

We’ve got OU right where we want them. Fat, confident and ready to fall hard...kind like my last visit to the local bar.

 

[cyatheart]

Really poor game plan from Manning so far

 

[ianoconnor]

It's unreal how complicated some coaches make the game of football. OU is getting like 8 yds per run it seems like, but on 3rd and inches they throw it. You can't make this stuff up sometimes.

And one of the most slippery scrambling QBs

 

[pulse]

Their defense is adjusting well to what we want to do. Bobby Stoops definitely consulted.

 

[Skyh13]

Running the ball on 1st down is NOT working

 

[quasistellar]

sigh that first play call again,.

 

[motorcy90]

If Newell would have snapped it (as he should have been coached to do seeing an irrefutable jump) either illegal motion would have been called agains Kolar for jumping in exasperation that referees were not calling the offside, or Brock would have fumbled snap, scooped by a 340 pound OU lineman who would have rumbled, bumbled, stumbled for a touchdown. I guess they got that touchdown anyway later. Just one of those days.
I'm totally calling a pick play penalty against us.

if the ball is snapped with them offsides the play doesn't matter.. thats why you always see a hail mary throw there all the time useually

On another note, we're already well over 1,000 posts in this thread, and it's still early in the 3rd quarter. Usually we hit the 1,000 comment mark in the 4th quarter.

(boring stat of the day!)

 

[cyatheart]

Going to have to throw the ball down the field

Manning won’t do it though

 

[ianoconnor]

Roll him out, guys.

 

[Thomasrickj]

Agreed. We can't abandon it, but we need some imagination in it. Maybe a two back set with Brock as a lead blocker? Something.

Well, Purdy can’t do anything right so of course we will keep running.

 

[Die4Cy]

No OLine all of a sudden

 

[CyCloned]

Got to find something for Purdy that is quick

 

[ca4cy]

Prohm’s worst loss ever

Which is saying something.

 

[khardbored]

If this is another run up the middle on first down I’m going to be sad

It was

 

[cmjh10]

Way to drop the ball man.

Sorry, too busy celebrating with the dogs.

Man OL getting owned.
