Dave: Offense at generational low, but defense gives Sooners (small) chance
Last weekend as part of Homecoming at the University of Oklahoma, my college class of 30 years ago
had a reunion.
It was an exciting two days of seeing great friends, reminiscing about times past and
catching up in the present. It was a wonderful and joyous time.
Then we went to the football game…
It’s hard to fathom the depths of how low the Sooner offense has plummeted. Not only are they
struggling to break single digits, but they’re also now giving away points to the other team.
With just over five minutes having gone by in the game, South Carolina was up 21-0. Oklahoma’s first three drives went like this. Interception, fumble with a scoop and score and a pick six. Just like that, Gamecocks by 21 points. And their offense had gained a grand total of 42 yards. Game over.
Michael Hawkins Jr. was overwhelmed by the SC pass rush and replaced by Jackson Arnold after his three turnovers. I probably shouldn’t say his turnovers. The entire offense and offensive coaching staff are on the hook for the disaster we have seen on that side of the ball this season.
Injuries or not, this just can’t happen at the University of Oklahoma. And it has now cost Seth Littrell his job.
Donning the Sooner duds for Dixie land
Good day, my Sooner Lovelies! I know the world seems to be whirling around us right now and we feel that everytime we wind up on the Gridiron Runway of Life, our wonderful creations are being shredded before us.
We must not let this make our lovely dimpled chins drop, nor our wonderfully coiffed heads hang. Sooner fashion will live forever tasteful and classic!
So to lift our spirits we’ll begin today with some lyrics known well by the guests we’ll visit this week.
I wish I was in the land of cotton, old times there are not forgotten,
Look away, look away, look away, Dixie Land.
This, of course, is the ditty known as Dixie or Dixie Land and is known throughout the Southern regions of our fair country. This week we will be visiting the Ol’ Miss in Mississippi.
