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 "hideout 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.

OU might still very well turn out to be all that. I just think the football universe wants Auburn to be better than they are, and are handing out too much credit for a win against them.

I think it's worth remembering that most of the funky stuff like this in the rulebook is there because of how Sam Wyche ran the Cincinnati Bengals during his time as head coach there. He'd do things like send 20 players into the offensive huddle, then break and have 9 leave the field. Players would run on and off the field in an attempt to catch the defense out. He started the "no huddle" thing just to keep the defense from lining up right. The NFL was constantly passing rules to negate whatever weird wrinkle he came up with to game the system.
He also hated Jerry Glanville.

Auburn is currently unranked and will almost certainly finish the season unranked.  They've played like an unranked team.  There's no reason to think they were all of a sudden going to be light-years better than they were last year, and the same can be said of OU.

Some improvement? Sure.  Wholesale change?  Not likely.

But again, I'm more than happy with the giant mediot circle-jerk over OU and Mateer.  All the pressure and expectations are now on them, everyone has already written off Texas, and I don't mind that at all.

We get Auburn at home this weekend. I see this game in several ways. If A&M truly deserves a Top Ten ranking, we should win handily. Like 45-10. If we struggle on offense, and fail to score > 20, but still win, I don’t think we should be top ten but probably about 15-22.  

if Auburn scores more than 20 points while the game is in doubt no way should we be ranked and the win vs ND was a fluke. 

if we lose, fire the coach and tear down the stadium.  Party’s over.
