A grim Dave hopes Vegas is right about this one
Worst season of OU football in over 20 years.
It was never more apparent than last Saturday in Morgantown when the Sooners bumbled and stumbled to loss number 5 on the year.
Offense, defense, coaching…they were all to blame. We are just a bad team right now that is in danger of not going to a bowl for the first time in over 2 decades.
What’s really frustrating to me is how close we actually are to being 8-2 right now.
One play here or there. One stop. One completed pass. One smarter decision.
The Sooners were blown out it in two games. TCU and texas. Against TCU Gabriel was injured on a cheap shot (shocking from TCU, I know) and missed most of that game and all of the texas game.
Sooners’ season spiraling into a disaster
A walk off field goal by West Virginia in Morgantown made one thing clear: The Sooners are headed for a possible 7-loss season, which would render Brent Venables’ first year as a head coach at Oklahoma a decisive failure.
The Sooners lost 23-20 on that Mountaineers field goal, but this loss had more to do with Oklahoma’s own ability to find ways to lose than West Virginia’s ability to find ways to win.
Check off these boxes:
— A missed field goal off an upright.
— A facemask penalty to negate an otherwise defensive stop, allowing W.Va. to complete a scoring drive.
— An offensive pass interference call that wiped out an OU touchdown.
— A give up of a fake punt.
— A dropped easy touchdown pass.
— A defense that played well in the first half, but gave up big third down plays (like they have all year) in the second half — giving West Virginia three long scoring drives.
“We don’t deserve to win when not doing all those things the right way,” Coach Brent Venables said.
