Sooners give impressive performance against Tech, this is a no stress week at KU

GOOD GRIEF WHERE WAS THIS TEAM AGAINST TEXAS!!!! ??

Ok. I hope I got that out of my system. But doesn’t it seem that both these wins after the Cotton Bowl sting just a little bit? It’s still hard to let that one go.

The Sooners turned in their second impressive performance since the Debacle in Dallas in wiping the smile off pretty boy Kingsbury’s face and beating down the Red Raiders.

The offense ran all over the Tech defense as Perine had over 200 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns and Mixon added over 150 yards and 2 more touchdowns of his own. Mayfield was solid in throwing two touchdown passes, however for only a little over 200 yards.

But again that was because we were busy gashing the Red Raiders for over 400 yards rushing total. Granted, the Tech defense is pretty bad, but still.

Bad blood and all, which OU team will show up against Texas Tech Red Raiders?

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

In keeping with the Halloween season the Sooners have come to resemble this classic. How in the world can they look so inept in the Cotton Bowl and so perfect in Manhattan? It’s beyond me.

But everything went OU’s way in dismantling Snyder’s boys in the Little Apple. Offense, defense, players and coaches could do no wrong. It helped a little bit that for some reason the Wildcats came out trying to throw the ball all over the field. First of all, that’s not even remotely their strength. And secondly, did they not watch the tape from OU’s debacle in Dallas? Texas ran all over us. Why would you at least not try that first?

I guess I could understand trying to catch the Sooners off guard, but they know their QB can’t throw the ball. Very strange. And by the middle of the second quarter it was too late to try anything else. Game was over.

Anyway, a great game for the Sooners, which now begs the question, which Oklahoma team shows up to play Texas Tech Saturday afternoon at Owen Field?

Dave blisters players and coaches for the dismal performance against Texas

Three years in a row OU has now lost to texas. Oh I know in 2014 the scoreboard gave us the win. But they still kicked our ass all over the field. Just like last Saturday.

What a huge embarrassment. How in the world does this team not come ready to play against their main rival? It’s the the Red River Shootout! It’s the Cotton Bowl and the Texas State Fair! It’s Billy Simms and Earl Campbell! It’s Roy Williams and Christy Simms! What else has to be said?!

Is it the coaches that have a problem conveying the importance of this rivalry? Is it the players themselves that for some reason can’t get up for this game?

It’s actually both. And I can’t for the life of me understand it. If we start with the players, Stoops is right. At some point the players have to decide to be ready to play. It’s more than talent and skill. They have to have a passion for it every single play.
