Why is no one discussing

What no OK poster has mentioned is that UT did not struggle passing or throwing. Admittedly our weakness on D was passing which does help Ok but if UT can stop the run without loading the box like Akron had to wouldn't that offset some of your passing gains?

I've noticed this too. The passing game looked good for UT. I'm not a big fan of QBR admittedly, but after last week Dobbs ranks 23rd and Mayfield 62nd.

OU's run game? Or lack of it against Akron. 100 yards total rushing and 3ypc.
They were lackluster against Akron and they have a handful of games started amongst their oline. This is not dismissing they have 2 excellent backs. The fact they do and still got them involved so little adds to the question.

I was literally coming on here to ask the exact same why everyone is on the secondarys butts when everyone knows its really hard to win with no run game. Look at last year and why we lost. NO OL.

You know, you called OU one dimensional, but when your team had a had a one dimensional day, you say they just didnt have to do it to win. Well, how about this, OU did not need to run to win? Clearly, right? You go with what works, and the pass game was basically non existent last year, we already know OU can run, so this was pleasing to the OU fan's eye. I dont know how much different your offense will be this year, but it better be like night & day in order to have a chance.

How do we already know they can run?

Exactly what I was thinking? Last years OL is gone like the wind. Maybe they will succeed in looking like a quality line, but my guess is their inexperience will get exposed early and often.

I hope it looks like last year with the jerseys swapped.

Last years offense is gone as well. The "air raid" folks will say you can run out of that offense but that is only true once you are winning by 3 or more TDs and the opposing defense is out of gas.

So whether OU can actually run the ball is still in question IMO.

Sounds like the UT offensive line last year.

I like the idea of freshman tackles having to use a silent count vs Barnette and Curt..

I tend to agree with you. An inexperienced line and a rocking Neyland crowd won't make it easy. I can see multiple OL mistakes more easily than I see a flawless performance.

Stoops can turn up the radio volume all he wants this week, but he won't be able to come close to replicating Neyland's noise.

I like seeing other opposing fan base postings on VN to discuss some football but I haven't seen this many coming from one fan base before a game. I would say most are just here to stir up some ish from the posts I have read.

There are question marks for both teams that will be answered on Saturday. Both teams were different last year but I would say that OU has the right to feel confident since they beat UT last year. Neither side has a good outlook on how they will perform from just playing one game this season. I feel better about this years team than I did last year I think UT has a better shot at winning this game. I think it should be a better game for both sides than last year for sure. We will all see how things play out on Saturday! GBO!!!

It's just this latest wave, WS6. Up until today, the Sooners who came to talk were pretty classy. but this crew the last 12 hours or so, they're just punks.

It wasn't hard to see when most were just trying the best to make someone snap on them. Heaven help them if we win this game. I don't make a habit of visiting other teams boards but I would love to see the meltdown on their boards.

Ha, you didn't upset me at all. Without looking at other teams stat books, I think it's fair too assume most players put up bigger stats against lesser foes. I mean Hurd and Kamara aren't going to each run for over 100 every week.

The reason I like our chances in this game is because our offensive strength will be in the passing game, which appears to be their D's weakness. UT's offensive strength is in the running game, which is also our D's strength. Just need to make sure we limit big plays on the ground for Dobbs, Hurd, and Kamara. I think our backs will be fine, but it all starts with how effective the passing game is. For all the talent on both sides, these two teams couldn't be more different.

Our OL was awful last year, we couldn't run the ball. All off season we questioned the line. One game against a bad BG dline and suddenly it's our team strength? Our WR core is the most talented and deep position on our team. OU secondary is awful.. We can throw the ball around. There's a reason we're WRU.
