Dave: Williams cements claim to starting OU QB, but NFL still watching Rattler

by

Lincoln Riley matched Bob Stoops record of 5-1 through his first six games against the hated longhorns last Saturday at the Cotton Bowl. 

In what might have been the greatest game ever played between the rivals, the texas longhorns new “triplets” had stat lines that looked like a video game, but in the end, it didn’t matter. 

Quarterback Casey Thompson threw for 388 yards and 5 touchdowns. 

Running back Bijan Robinson carried the ball for 137 yards and 1 touchdown and receiver Xavier Worthy caught 9 passes for 261 yards and 2 touchdowns.

All that, and they LOST. 

That and many other things made the fourth victory in a row for Oklahoma in this series that much sweeter.

Dave: Run game key in Red River Rivalry — for both teams

Well the offense looked better, getting points on seven of nine total possessions against Kansas State. The ninth possession being the kneel down to end the game.

However, a glaring problem with the defense got worse as the Wildcats continually converted third and long.

And when they couldn’t, they went ahead and went for it on fourth down and converted four out of five times on those attempts.

And all this with a K-State quarterback who was practically wearing a splint on his right leg.

Didn’t matter. Time after time Skylar Thompson, not a threat to run the ball, stood back in the pocket and ate a sandwich while he waited for a receiver to come open.

As if 2020 couldn’t get any worse, we can’t even rely on our Sooners to brighten the landscape this year. 

Too young, too inexperienced, too…something. 

First loss to Iowa St. in Ames, in 60 years.  First back to back losses since 1999.  I guess if you were going to pick a year to stink while you rebuild, 2020 would be the year.

Saturday night’s game highlighted another glaring issue with the defense, as if another one was needed. 

Our defensive backs are significantly shorter than the wide receivers and tight ends that they are going up against.  So they can have great coverage, but if they are constantly just being out jumped by their opponent, it won’t matter.
