Dave: Sooners need a game like Maine after second half collapse at Ol’ Miss
Whether it was the new play caller or a new starting quarterback, the offense finally showed some life
against Ole Miss last Saturday. The offensive line opened holes for Javonte Barnes to have one of the
better games of his career, and Jackson Arnold was efficient, avoided turnovers and threw two
touchdown passes.
Jo Jon Finley’s play calling was more creative and I believe put his players in a better position to make plays. Especially Arnold, who was rolled out several times for passes to compensate for the offensive line’s struggles to protect against the Rebels pass rush.
All in all, it was a pretty good first half that saw the Sooners take a 14-10 lead into the locker room. Unfortunately, there was still a second half to be played.
And whatever worked in the first thirty minutes of the game, failed miserably in the second thirty minutes. Oklahoma was unable to score in the last two quarters and Ole Miss prevailed 26-14.
In my mind, one of a couple of things happened. Our coaching staff failed to adjust to the Rebel’s halftime adjustments. Or they tried to make those adjustments, but just don’t have the personal due to continuing injuries to implement them.
Fashionista: Maine lobster a stress free meal
Hello, my fine Sooner fellows! Fear not, your fashionista is here and even though there may be chins dragging and heads hanging low right now, cheer up, Charlies!
The darkest night comes just before the dawn! The sun will shine again and your wardrobe will reflect the sheer elegance of the coming times.
This week we will showcase our fine fashion fleekness in the state of Mr. Stephen King himself: Maine.
Fitting seeing as this is the week before Halloween. This is a state that is known for odd accents and even odder outfits. How does one dress to catch lobsters? I’ll not even address the earflaps on toques, dear me, no.
I do know most of us know how to don our regalia when feasting on the fine red fishy things drenched in butter however. With a bib? I’m in jest, surely you realize. No trendy advisor would even suggest such a thing and I shan’t either.
