That was probably the most disappointing win over Texas I can remember.
I think I have given up on this offense being anything but mediocre. If the coaching staff is not going to run Knight, that is all this offense will be is mediocre.
Knight has big trouble with accuracy and cannot read the defense as a drop back pocket passer. He actually improves on these issues when he rolls out. But they won’t even let him do that. So this is about as good as the offense is going to get.
We have to hope the offensive line can impose it’s will in the run game against eight and nine in the box. Tall order, but that is what we have to hang our hat on.
But the Sooners won the game and that is all that matters each week. You can look terrible on both sides of the ball as long as you win. And did we look terrible.
Ugly wins count the same. That is what we brought away from Saturday’s 31-26 Sooner win over the Longhorns.
That, and unless Oklahoma can find some answers passing the football – first it is Trevor Knight’s inaccuracy and then it is the receivers’ (sans stellar Sterling Shepard) failure to step up and make plays – the remaining schedule could be rough.
But rather than dissect the Xs and Os from the Red River Shootout/Rivalry/Showdown or whatever you want to call it, the overwhelming impression from our weekend in Dallas is that this game remains the same. Weird things happen. The best team doesn’t always win. And, the fans are always prepared for the melee.
OU-Texas is the only game I attend where I actually enjoy getting cussed at by opposing fans.
