Yup.  He looked much better against this bad opponent, than he did against the two previous bad opponents.  This time, he was actually hitting many more of the wide open receivers.  Heck, there were receivers running wide open all throughout the Ohio State game, too.  And he was under very little pressure.  But he missed seeing them all day long.

Hopefully this means his head is getting back to being right.

Going through my Lindy's preview, what first jumps out is Oklahoma ranked as high as #12. How!? 😖

Right away, Oklahoma is my pick for 2025's most overrated team going into the season.

Part of the reason I didn't believe Oklahoma could uphold a Top 25 ranking is because of how tough their schedule was. Well here the Sooners are, 4-0 with two wins over ranked teams. We haven't seen what the Sooners can do on the road Vs an equivalent opponent, nor have we seen much of an offensive identity, but Oklahoma is winning with a toughness that fits well into the SEC.

And with a pecking order settling across the conference, suddenly the Sooners schedule is opening up, and I'd expect the Sooners to maintain their Top 10 ranking well into October. Texas in another three weekends is definitely beatable, especially with the Longhorns poor productivity on offense. The rest of the schedule is still tough, but going into the second half of the season at 6-0 says a lot about Oklahoma rebounding from last season's poor showing.

Auburn isn't ranked and is unlikely to finish the season ranked.

But I'm loving all this OU hype and that folks are completely writing off Texas and assuming OU will be 6-0.  Hope it keeps up, right until the final gun at the Cotton Bowl.

Baylor should have tried the "hideous tactic" play. Maybe they could have slid by Auburn at home and been ranked in the top 10.

Playing at USCe is tougher than one might think.  Tennessee, LSU, Texas, and Bama appear to be pretty solid teams.  Ole Miss, is loseable.

I do like the OU QB so far.

Baylor used to put their wideouts just inside the sidelines. That was back in the good old Art Briles days when the football players got to rape cheerleaders as a rite of initiation. Somebody could ask Jeff Lebby about that.

My question is…did OU misinterpret the rules and think the play was legal…or did they simply get away with it. I don’t think something like that is reviewable.
I saw a post this morning saying that OU had cleared it with the officials in advance. But that was from a fan, not from OU.

No worries about discussing it here, but I went ahead and created a new thread for this.
I deleted my post here and will move my comments to the new thread.
