The way 80% of our fan base thinks we should have just threw it deep all game.

Maybe by not handing off to Hurd up the middle for no gain on every 1st and 10 in the 3rd and 4th quarters?

After reviewing the offensive play by play, it was discovered that it WASNT handed off on every first down.

There are reasoned, legitimate criticisms of the coaching against OU. But the myth of what happened has taken over this board.

Well we blamed the O line last year for the S####y play calling, so why not just blame them?

Yes, you figured out the secret.
The O line was actually pretty good, we just kept calling the ole sack our qb play. Followed by the rush our passer in 1 second or less play.

Name any oline in the sec that can block 7 players, while the qb does play action every time giving the defense a extra second or 2 to rush the qb. UT's coaches isn't putting our players in a position to be successful. I keep reading on here how great our coaches are and how bad the of-line and receivers are. There are 8 coaches in the sec alone that would make this offense almost unstoppable. Against ou we played 1 good quarter, it wasn't just the 2nd half we "didn't execute". Ou punched us in the mouth and cbj laid down and took it. Our players played their hearts out and ran the plays that were called. The plays without max protect, slants and crossing routes. 5 passes total in the middle of the field in that game. Tulsa completed that many on one drive. Flame on.

Or maybe just once or twice to keep the defense honest, and to give our 6'3 and 6'4, who are 4* and 5* guys a chance?

Nah that's crazy

But then you get that thread. Why throw it when he has a db right on him! Pick 6. You can't just throw it up especially vs OU .

I agree with you, here. This is an area of strength that should be exploited for UT. We have many issues to resolve before we will be able to get the ball to our athletic WRs, though.. It's frustrating!

We were up 14 going into the 4th quarter. We missed a field goal earlier that should have won the game. I can't fault our offense or play calls at that point, we did what a coaching textbook said we should have done to that point in the game.

Coaching textbook, 50 percent of the time it works every time.

Florida is probably gonna make Dobbs beat them. So we will see if he's up to the challenge.

No doubt. I will be shocked if we don't see UF run OU's defense, version 2.0, on Saturday. Dobbs is close to making the plays. If we can manage just an extra second with our oline delaying the pass rush, we're gonna come away with a W.

It'll come down to qb vision how he sees it and how quickly he reacts.

Watched a pretty good breakdown of our offensive snaps against OU. The final analysis was failure on the O-line, QB, WRs, and coaches. The failures happened at different times and sometimes on the same play. Find a play where the O-line blocks perfectly, receiver drops the pass. WR beats his defender but O-line has given up a sack. Dobbs has a clean pocket, overthrows a wide open receiver. All 4 aspects can be perfect 75% of the snaps, but if they don't all line up at least a few times then the offense will look like trash.

It's all about executing and perfecting.

IMHO with us starting our SEC play the gloves have to come off the scared play calling has to end we showed mercy to OU and it cost us dearly that cannot happen again... fourth and 1's has to be taken with Hurd & Kamara there is no doubt in my mind that they can't get 1yd and I still think we have the best WR in the country and we have become this run first offense which is fine and I'm far from being a coach but once you've ran it so many times and the defense's adjust does it or does it not open up the play action passes come on Debord at least show us your not that damn ol school

I am really curious to know why since everyone here knows the game of football better than our coaches why are they not coaching a major SEC program or running the AD office some where? With all the knowledge people on here have its extremely surprising.

My truck is running rough and the check engine light is flashing. I'm not a mechanic. I'd never claim to know more than my mechanic. However I know enough to know it isn't a suspension problem. I know enough to know it isn't the starter... or the brakes. It isn't the battery.

We don't have to know more than them to see that some things work and others don't... to recognize success and failure. Some of us certainly know enough to be able to make favorable and unfavorable comparisons to coaches that have succeeded and failed.

I think you would have a point if someone got specific enough to think they should decide who starts or plays. The coaches have a ton more info than we do.... but the passing game has to improve and Dobbs is a big part of that.

They didn't stretch the field vertically. IMO, that's what allowed OU to play everyone so close to the LOS and stop the short passing and run game.

Even if you don't hit it, you have to crank one down field every once in awhile. Make sure the QB throws the ball away from trouble. An incompletion is still a good play.

Just consider the issue and our play selections and calls in the first overtime versus how we managed play calls in the 4th quarter. I have no problem with how the game was called through 3 quarters of football. Our staff entering the 4th quarter based on their momentum and having shut us down offensively in the second half, in hindsight, should have called offensively a more aggressive game to end it at least with one more score. IMO they played the game too safe offensively and laid the game on the back of the defense. It didn't work. My point is we magically I guess the way some see it found a way against the same defense to score a TD in the first OT. I believe it was due to our play selection and execution and had we the same sense of urgency in the 4th quarter we would have prevailed there and then.

With all the talent we have on offense, why is DeBord not taking full advantage? I get so tired of seeing us being overly conservative on Offense. I'm not here calling for his job or anything, but when will we open it up more? We should have beat OU, but defense slacked off and our offense seemed to be content being conservative and not putting more pressure on the downfield passing game. Hurd and Kamara are capable of keeping drives going, but why not use Dobbs the way we did at the end of last season? I'm just not too happy with our production. Thoughts?

I'm hoping the coaching staff has been keeping some tricks up their sleeve even though it resulted in a loss to Oklahoma... Because in the grand scheme of things, losing to Oklahoma is MUCH better than losing an SEC game to Florida.

But, there is no possible way we beat Florida with all these damn bubble screens and runs up the middle.

A true screen game ( with a RB flaring out and 2-3 blockers instead of this bubble screen crap that has been around since before Sanders) and a few slants to the spots where the LB's were blitzing from could have done wonders on Okies pass rush and run blitzes IMO.
