Time to play a real team, or at least half of one

Goooooo Vooooolllssss!!!!

 :powert:

Welcome to the nose bleeds

Something different about the way Heupel is carrying himself this year.  A little, dare I say, swag?

Feels like he knows what he's got.    :dude:

92 degrees at game time

Very vanilla 1st series
They had good coverage on the fly route on 2nd down

Looks like Nico missed his checks on first and third down. The math wasn't right.

That's o.k.

I think on 3rd we were running no matter what

Sampson whiffed badly on that block.

Hate missing the opportunity to flip the field, but like our patience

biggly whiff

Great drop into coverage!

Pick!

who got the pick?

He threw badly into double coverage

#3 McCoy

thought it was about I am high and on the other side of the field the play was on

Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Bishop in earlier than expected

Good job to eat on third down. Taking points is good.

massive slip on the sand on first carry

Woo!!!!!

Nice pass.  :thumbup:

Was it ever!

Thornton can fly!
To the house!

I'd heard about his speed, but hadn't been blown away by it until that catch and run.

Nico dropping dimes
On 2nd and short
He looked off the safety as well

he had one against Chatt that a fly pattern

On 2nd down we did something interesting
When the slot motioned in the star followed him but when he reversed another player (a safety?) followed him back out

I love Sampson, and realize he was trying to pick up an interior rusher, but that might be on him.

A pitch? :confused:

Incredible job flipping the field

I wish my wedges had that kind of action

Flipped the field.. literally.  Can?t believe we got outta that.

All of those easy games didn't prepare me for a sphincter tightening game.  :moon:

They are stall playing a stac3 defense and often cheating a safety into the box late

That field looks like a cow pasture. Don't tell me that's not intentional.

The field looks wretched, but it's hot and dry.

You beat me to it.

Fowler was right. They couldn't find the mower. Sheesh.

Danged cheaters.  :mad:

So, after all that, they got 27 yards and we got 2 points.

That punt was a BOOMER

and sandy as hell

Has the broadcast crew said anything about Sampson?

I've got them muted, but he's missed two big blocks.

We?ve missed a ton of blocks tonight

Can't drop back with David and Johnson at tackle. Gonna have to roll out.

What does replay show?

Probably a lateral by 6 inch?s es. You

That's two flops on that guy. #95

Agree with 10EC. Good call.

Great job draining the clock

We're wearing them down.

We ran it down their throats and made them like it

How many TFLs have we had
It?s a bunch

86 at the half

Gotta check. They have 82 total yards.

We're down our starting tackles, have too many penalties, and are up.

I'm thinking a lot of 12 personnel will be seen in the second half.

Also, Nico may have a big opportunity on a bootleg.

they were crashing g Hurd on the backside on that drive

I thought the third string left tackle #77 is playing well.

7 yards rushing in the first quarter.
71 in the second.
That's more better! 👍🏻

what happened to Davis?

The entire halftime show they ran a really cool drone show outside the North endzone
Really cool!

Nobody was open and they really didn?t help on the scramble drill
Squirrel was wasted on that play

The holding call? phantom?. Replay showed nothing?

I thought it was the right call.

That was little too conservative for my taste. But then I'm not making 10 mil a year coaching football.  :laugh:

IMO Heuple is playing chess against a very good and well coached defense.   Just keep scoring and put it out of reach.

It might not have mattered but I think it was a mistake for Venables to put in the new QB. Was the first one injured?

I'm o.k.with boring ball, but Nico needs to keep one of these on a money down. His accuracy has been mostly good, but a few decisions look like a freshman's.

Agree, but I'm glad he did...so far.

I?ve heard that Arnold has a concussion

probably from the penultimate play he had

Ahh,that makes sense.

I don't like this. I am afraid that we went too conservative too soon.

And apparently I was wrong about the QB. This guy is lighting it up.

The overturn cost another -.5 min

They went from getting 2 to 0

This conservative game plan is killing me.

Sampson cut right he is still running

Anyone remember the hobnail boot game? After we scored to go ahead, my friends were telling me "good game" and "it's over". Remember how that ended?

It's not over until it's over. I don't know how this game is going to end but we have left OK in this game.

If they score a TD here, then what?

I hope that we didn't start clock watching too early.

Sheesh. I need to open another bottle of wine.

Dude? I am so preaching this to my son next to me..

Amen to the above

Well, tell him that he had better open another bottle of wine.  :biggrin:

It is short

Whew. 10 point lead

The spread is covered, and then some

We won. And I'm glad. But I was really surprised that we went so conservative midway through the third quarter.

I realize that Heupel didn't want Iamaleava to fumble again while being sacked.

But it made a game totally under our control into a contested game.

A win is a win. I'll take it.

That was ugly as sin, but I'll take it.

Yea, a win at OK is a big win. It certainly sets us up for bigger things.

There towards the end I had visions of our FL win 2 years ago. We should have won by 20 but let them hang around and they had the ball in the end to win it.

When Florida got that onside kick?. I sat down and couldn?t watch the final plays.   :laugh:

Yep, I've been around long enough to know that anything can happen.

As long as it is possible for a team to win or tie it, I'm nervous.

Thank goodness our defense closed it out.

Which, quite frankly, sounds a little strange to say.

It's good to win a game like last night...In years past we don't win that game. The old saying...we will just outscore them doesn't work much against the elite teams.

Last night was an old fashion 3 yards and a cloud of SAND game
Leaning heavily on a defense unlike most we've see the last 10+ years
With the injured OTs Heup went old school

We absolutely let them hang around too long. Never quite had a kill shot. Refs did help em out a bit tho.

That conservative play calling really goes against Heupel's nature. You either trust or QB or you don't. In this game it was probably the right call. But I still feel he should turn the offense loose. Nico is getting paid to do his thing for four quarters.

With the B/U OTs in the game that would have been foolhardy!
The defense had control of the game
The goal was to shorten the game, and they did
They took a couple of late shots
The one offensive holding was pure BS (classic OL block)
and Squiurrel dropped one

Bottom line it is called MATURITY
