Dave: Look out – ‘horns are wounded animals

OU vs. TCU — That was too close for comfort. But in the end the Sooners gutted out a tough win against a very good defensive team in TCU.

In fact, outside of a bowl game, TCU has the best defense that OU will see the rest of the year. But the victory came at a steep price. Corey Nelson is arguably the best defensive player we have. TCU couldn’t sniff a first down much less a touchdown for over half the game. But when Nelson got hurt the OU defense became disjointed and TCU took advantage to the tune of 17 points.

It took two Blake Bell bulldozing first downs to finally run out the clock on the Horned Frogs.

Red River Rivalry — But a win is a win and now it’s texas week. texas….man I hate those bastards. It has given me such joy the past few years to see the struggles that have come out of the 40 acres. Which of course have been punctuated by the beat downs the Sooners have administered in the Cotton Bowl.

Sooner Magic struck early and won over the Luck of the Irish last Saturday in South Bend exercising some ghosts of the past in the process.

The “Magic” came in the form of back to back interceptions off the Irish resulting in a 14 point lead with only 3 minutes gone in the game. No doubt that was a big factor in the contest, but to me the more exciting part was the play of both our offensive and defensive lines.

The defense harassed Rees all day resulting in the aforementioned interceptions and poor throws throughout the game. He was never comfortable and it showed.

Even more impressive was the offensive line. Going up against two All-Americans, one of which might be the best defensive lineman in college football, Oklahoma rushed for over 200 yards. Against the same team we only got 15 yards against last year, at home.

After the Tulsa game I think we can safely say that the Trevor Knight experiment, barring injury or graduation, is over.

I don’t blame the coaching staff for trying. After Johnny “Hancock” Manziel burst on the scene last year I’m sure many a coaching staff were on the look out for the next mobile waterbug to turn loose on unsuspecting defenses.

DAVES-LOGO-copyHowever after seeing Knight and Bell in action, it’s hard to believe Knight showed so much more in pre-season as to convince the coaches that he was the one over Bell. Maybe it’s true some players are great in practice but it just doesn’t click on Saturdays. And that’s not to say it wouldn’t eventually click for Knight, but after Bell’s performance, I don’t expect Knight back under center unless Bell goes down or in a special package for one or two plays
