Dave’s Worry Meter - page 17

Not sure if Knight is the long term answer, but it’s his turn at bat

by

Well, you’re up Mr. Knight. And what will you be performing for us today?

After waiting in the wings since he was injured during the Tulsa game, the Knight Rider took the field, again after an injury, to spark the Sooners to victory over hapless Iowa St.

Not sure if Knight is the long term answer, but it seemed like he gave the offense a spark that it needed at least for that day. And as if to muddle the quarterback derby even more, Kendall Thompson came in for mop up duty and directed a touchdown drive that included a 44 yard completion and a touchdown pass.

Everyone should take this with a grain of salt though as Iowa St. was beaten down by then and just wanted to go home. Also, that aforementioned 44 yard pass was under thrown with the wind at his back.

Dave unusually optimistic about beating Red Raiders

by

I was in the stands at the Kansas game and a few things have become clear to me.

First, any win we get from here on out is just going to be ugly. No getting around that.

And second, the defense is carrying it’s weight.

The offense? Well, I don’t know what the offense is carrying.

Once the defense made adjustments after giving up 13 points, they held Kansas to something like 38 total yards the rest of the way. Yes it’s Kansas, but still impressive.

The offense on the other hand is still struggling. The lack of any downfield passing game is making it harder and harder to put points on the board. Defenses are crowding the box and daring OU to throw downfield.

Sooners licking wounds, KU game first step to regroup

That one hurt. And the most frustrating part about it was it didn’t look like the Sooners wanted it enough.

Last week I said they needed to come into this game with more fight and more intensity than they have had all year. They were no where close to that. And I blame the coaches.

Everything we heard from everybody all week was how OU would blow out texas for a third straight year. It wouldn’t be close. texas stinks and the Sooners would wipe the floor with them.

I guess the coaches let the players believe that and believed it themselves. They thought they could show up with the word Sooners on their chest and it would be easy. They thought they were entitled to the win. They thought they could run the offense they wanted to run regardless and they would win.

How else do you explain the complete lack of QB running game? Against a texas squad that has been gashed by the QB run game all year?
