I have to think, nothing like this has ever happened to them, at least not in their own stadium.  That is just a crushing drive.

I have seen them punched in the face like that with nothing they could do about it only once that I can think of, in Saban's time there.....and it was not the same thing at all.  I don't think I've ever seen a team run the ball over and over, and tell them they're running it, and still do it, and end the game.  

otoh, I have seen them do it to a lot of other teams, both home and away, many times.

Gbenda was cut by a RB on that play. That's how a RB is taught to take on a blitzing LB (which beats getting drilled into the turf - the RB's other option).

The thing that makes your heart swell here is the speed with which he gets back to his feet to finish the tackle!

Yeah in my memory I was conflating those two plays.  Both were pretty awesome though.

Dangerous pattern developing where the offense no-shows for the first three quarters.  That's not gonna pass muster for the entire season.  Gotta get a LOT crisper in the first half.

Obviously OU & Texas will expect to get screwed over in conference games but noncon isn't looking much better.  In the Tulsa game they had to have huddle after huddle just to call simple things like false start, what down, ball spot, etc.  We drew one of the 4 new Big 12 officials as referee.

Texas had a shockingly slow start.  Like a 158 total yards after 3 quarters.  Still, it is early in the season and they are undefeated.  That is what counts.

I'm plenty critical of Texas right now, but the truth is that we're 3-0 in our OOC games and our opponents are all 2-0 aside from their losses to us.  Add to that that our non-P5 opponents each have a win against a P5 opponent and I'd say that Texas' "cupcakes" aren't necessarily in the same class as other teams' pastries.

All THAT said, we definitely need faster starts.  The way we're currently playing the first half will no doubt get us beat in B12 conference play, possibly as soon as this coming Saturday against Baylor.

Yep.  You guys got the trench ponies to hang with anyone and the skill players to take over at any time.  You are in a really good spot at this point of the season.
Meanwhile OU's next game is at Cincinatti who just lost to Miami of Ohio.  Now watch those guys come out like world beaters.
