What? Aguilar threw for three touchdowns and almost four hundred yards Saturday night. But on a couple of throws, he got too greedy and too aggressive with throwing it downfield when he should have more carefully seen the DBs and Safeties of Oklahoma more clearly and threw the damn ball away.
As far as Heupel is concerned, he made a couple of dumb decisions as well. For one, he should have accepted the penalty that would have been third and twenty-something instead of declining it and taking the fourth down as it would have taken the Sooners out of FG range. He should've known what a weapon and asset their kicker is. And to use a Freshman TE who only played two snaps all game on a trick play on fourth and one? Really. Damn it, we should have used Lewis or Bishop to run it up the middle or had Aguilar try for a QB sneak. Instead, Heupel and the OC call for a trick play that blew up in our face when a simple run up the gut or a QB sneak would've likely sufficed.
So, in closing, yes, Aguilar and Heupel were a part of the reason we lost Saturday night along with Gilbert, again, missing another chip shot FG because he has a difficult time performing under pressure. As far as our OL goes, they were going against a strong, stout Sooner front that is hard to contain. And our defense was doing good for a good part of the game but got worn down late in the game because our offense lost its footing at times.
