After rewatching the game, a couple things stand out. 1) It’s amazing how good it was considering how much better it could’ve been. Offense left a lot out there and yet they were still really good. 2) We’ve had a different defensive standout every game so far, which is what you want. Gone are the days when, if Obo wasn’t having a good game, we would have to score 50. Excited to play K-State for the first time since like 2018.
Got win #1 as JV HC last night. Kind of empty because we limped it home and had to hang on. Won 28-22. A bunch of freshmen and inexperienced sophomores on that team, so it will take time to get them confident enough to play hard/well for 4 quarters. Just not strong enough physically/mentally to adapt to teams who adjust a blitz a lot to stop our run.
If OU plays like it did at Nebby and Martinez plays like he did against Tulane, GFMS is going to be ROCKING on Saturday night. That place will be shaking. The fan base is ready for OU to start sticking it to opponents again and BV is the guy for the job. Still loving what Roof said in his presser the other day, "We play to a standard here, not to the scoreboard." If that defense keeps improving at the rate they have been over the first three games, it'll be something to behold. Just think, BV is going to be replacing pretty good players with elite players too...be still my heart...

If Dashaun White can continue to play the cheetah like he was at Nebraska before he got ejected then I can see why Venables wanted him there. Took him a couple of games to get adjusted to the new position but he was ballin' out in Lincoln before the penalty.

And then seeing Kanak there...hoo boy. Kid is a beast in the making. Deshaun better lock it down or he's gonna lose it.

I think it was what TBOW thought he could do but he didn't have the complimentary defense like HCBV has built. He thought he could get up big and shut it down and try to run the clock out but his defense was so horrible that the other team would always come back and get back in the game and then he didn't know how to get it going again. HCBV has the defense in place to be able to shut it down on offense and work off as much clock as possible but still keep the heat on defense and actually hold them from scoring. It is crazy to think that we haven't seen everything this team can do. TBOW had to bring out all stops game 1 each year. It's a lot more fun to watch.
I don't mind in the slightest. Was only a "rivalry" from their side anyway.
Yea, we are keeping the real rivalry with texsa. It is annoying when they win once or twice in a decade and think they are top dogs now. You can only beat someone down so much before it gets boring..

Everyone on defense looks so much faster. HCBV is showing everyone what the previous staff really meant by Speed D

Meh...I don't really care. The only real rivalry that's been broken up for us was when the Big 12 broke up OU-Nebraska. We still play texsa every year. I'm looking forward to matching up with Alabama.
Rivalries involve a degree of respect. Bedlam was never an actual rivalry, but an exercise in futility for oSu. You can't win only 19 games in 120 years and be considered a rival. That makes you a doormat. Nobody respects a doormat. The oSu game is one that should be circled on the calendar as a win every year.

I remember when they hired Gundy and started getting all that Nose Pickens money. Everybody was saying that OSU was about to start winning Bedlam just as much as they lost. Even Switzer said watch out. But I never really believed it. I predicted that they’d continue to lose, they’d just lose by a little less. That turned out to be accurate.

Okie Lite has improved from Pat Jones and had a moment with Lester. Gundy is their best coach, and they still only beat OU when OU was really, really down...or OUr HC has a stroke and RE-PUNTS.
