I hear BV is introducing a new technique they taught at Clemson. It's called tackling.
I heard him say something about this, this past weekend. Something to the effect that if you do not do it well, how can you expect to have a good defense?
Exciting, fast, explosive and diverse offense. Physical, punishing, relentless, suffocating defense.
Read a quote from BV last night where he said, "we are nowhere close to being ready to play football" That's a big difference from the previous guy who always said "we are close" I also saw that picture on Twitter of him smiling at practice.... I did not know BV could smile on a football field. LOL

I loved BV's flex yesterday when he talked about playing in all those Natties and how he/his staff know what works and have a blueprint. Awesome. Suck it, TBOW

It's certainly interesting when one guy's ceiling is another guy's floor.
TBOW was an excuse machine. BV is all about accountability.

I love all the shots he is taking at TBOW. He knows a rat when he smells one...

He has already started the excuses for why BV will win a natty before he ever could too
If it's all the same, I'd rather not play the first 3 games of this schedule. Let's just get to it.
In this case, I think we need the warm up. New schemes on both sides of the ball, new QB, 40+% of the players haven't played a game at OU suggest some growing pains. I'll even predict a complete freak out for half the fan base when we are only up 7 at half time against UTEP.

I’ll be one of that group.
Yep. Me too!
I want to see the Lebby BASE offense rip down the field every possession. I also expect OUr new Sooner, BV defense to stop UTEP dead and make turnovers. The 1971, 72, 73, 74 teams, the 2000 team, the 2003, 2004, and 2008 teams did that. The 2017 and 2018 offenses did that. It is not that unusual for OU, and it should become common once more!

I agree but there have been many first games where a false start here, a holding penalty there and the offense sputtered early because many of the players were playing there first game on Owen Field and the day was a little too big for them. We forget sometimes that these kids are 18 and playing in front of 80,000 people.

In 74, OU was up 7-2 at halftime on a Baylor team that went 2-9.

A 31-24 victory over Utah State to open 2010 comes to mind. USU finished 4-8. DeMarco Murray carried us that game.

My expectation for this team is that the offense will be at least as good as previous years and the O Line will be improved. The defense will be improved over previous years and by mid season will be a very solid unit instead of the liability it has been.
They’re still the best team in the Big 12 and they should win all their games, even though I know there's always a game or two that doesn’t go as expected. I expect another conference championship. My crimson colored glasses see a playoff spot.
I expect some hiccups starting out. Too much of a learning curve leading to a few busts. However, there will be much improvement physically and with fundamentals. I'm not going to be too upset if they don't start out blazing: 1) no reason to peak early, and 2) keep some good stuff in the bag for the B12 teams. On the other hand, if they come out absolutely drilling people then so be it.

I won't be disappointed if we crush people early. I just expect that there will be some early hiccups. I find if I go into the season with reasonable expectations then I'm usually pleasantly surprised though LR was starting to test that. If I go into the season with high expectations, even a Big-12 championship becomes a disappointment because we didn't win it all.
