Lincoln Riley knows fairy dust.
^I wish like hell he'd say something to that ends after what was said last week.
good comment!
That OU offense has their timing and positions at late season form on week two. the picks set up by the linemen and when that H back comes across the middle on that bubble is a thing of beauty- i don't think anyone can stop that when it's ran properly... they may have the ponies to take them down as soon as they catch it, but i don't think they can stop it w/o laying the wood on that back off the line... and a dude (the Hback) who appears to be blocking and in space because he 'missed his block'... feeding off that defensive over pursuit... it was impressive and good for at least ten every time they ran it.
i hear the tOSU fans complaining about their team's effort/planning/execution, but i don't read it that way at all- i think OU could have beaten anyone Saturday night, and were destined to win because of their level of execution. w/o silly t/o's early, that score could have been out of hand at the half. that isn't anything against tOSU, but speaking highly of OU. i still think tOSU is a top ten team, easily.
the one third quarter pass the officials ruled incomplete on the field that gave OU a 1st and goal at around the six or so (iirc) was also a thing of beauty. he caught that ball w/o question, and the overturn was only fair. the thing about it: it could not have been placed any better than it was. i don't care who was defending that pass- given the receiver had the hands to make it happen, that ball was perfectly placed over the defender and outside of his control... he was painted on the receivers backside and still didn't have a chance... after that, i had to give that QB the respect he's been getting. i was thinking it was way too early to be calling a player a Heisman front-runner, but Mayfield is a truly gifted passer and player to pull that (and others similar) over and over... drilling it when it needed to be, floating it other times. he's truly impressive.
