Texas Longhorns – Soonerguys

Oklahoma’s downward spiral continues with 49-0 shutout by Longhorns

Published on October 8, 2022 by Mike

Using your tight end to run a Wildcat offense was the right early game plan to put a spark in an Oklahoma offense hampered by the absence of a concussed starting quarterback.

It did that early, although the Sooners were unable to turn it into points.

But by the second quarter in the Cotton Bowl that unique twist became an all too predictable act of desperation, which was no solution for a porous defense Texas hammered with 49 unanswered points in the Red Rivery Rivalry.

Texas (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) won 49-0. And the failure of Oklahoma (3-3, 0-3) on both sides of the ball extended on the sideline and well into the coache’s booth of the press box.

Oklahoma allowed the most points ever to the Longhorns. The defeat marks OU’s first loss to the Longhorns since 2018 and improves Texas’ lead in the all-time series to 63-50-5.

It looks good, but Sooner fans need to be wary of these wounded Longhorns

Let’s not start the celebration just yet.

There is no doubt there is trouble down in Austinville. The natives there are ready to run second-year coach Charlie Strong out of town. Frankly, his Longhorn team has looked pretty pitiful this year, coming into Saturday’s Red River Shoot Out, Rivalry or Showdown (whatever advertisers want to call it this year) with a 1-4 record (0-2 in the conference); and, more significantly, looking more like Gooberville high school team than the mighty Texas.

Meanwhile, Sooners fans will throw out any reservations they have held about their own team this week — because showing signs of weakness is not what you do this week — and, besides, No. 9 Oklahoma has proven with wins on the road against Tennessee and at home against West Virginia, that a win against Texas isn’t a question of whether it will happen, but rather by how much.

Boomer Sooner baby. Oklahoma should roll.

OU looked terrible, but we have to move on – Wildcats are solid

That was probably the most disappointing win over Texas I can remember.

I think I have given up on this offense being anything but mediocre. If the coaching staff is not going to run Knight, that is all this offense will be is mediocre.

Knight has big trouble with accuracy and cannot read the defense as a drop back pocket passer. He actually improves on these issues when he rolls out. But they won’t even let him do that. So this is about as good as the offense is going to get.

We have to hope the offensive line can impose it’s will in the run game against eight and nine in the box. Tall order, but that is what we have to hang our hat on.

But the Sooners won the game and that is all that matters each week. You can look terrible on both sides of the ball as long as you win. And did we look terrible.
