That game sucked. The team is in a bad spot right now. Here are my thoughts on the state of the program.
Oklahoma isn't very good at footballing right now. I think the problem is two-fold. 1) The players are still trying to learn how to play real college football like BV demands. 2) The players on the field are largely upper classmen from the previous regime, who are immensely UNDER talented (Broiles, Redmond, Davis, Uggy, etc). I truly believe the players (maybe not transfers) that BV and Co. brought in are incredible football players (see Kanak, Jaren) who just don't quite know how to use their skills to the fullest. We saw Barnes put on a show, Farooq has flashed, the young OTs look pretty solid, and guys like Kanak and R Mason Thomas were set up to have huge careers.
We, as fans, are in unexplored waters for the most part. Though most of us here were part of the journey through the desert that was John Blake, we have really known nothing but unfettered success since. This year is different. This year feels uncomfortable. I think we are living through the purge year. This staff is trying to purge the weak and untalented from the program. That takes time. One offseason, no matter how badly we all wanted it to be so, just isn't enough time for Schmitty to work his magic or for BV to get a garbage defense playing like prime Clempson.
I believe that we will start to see growth toward the end of this season. I'm still hopeful for a 7 to 8 win campaign, a bowl win, and big momentum going into the offseason where a Top 5 2023 recruiting class will await. Once all this talent hits the field, it's Katy bar the door. OU will return to glory...just probably not this season. BV is too good and too detailed to let them fail. His assistants have too good of a track record for this disorganization on the field to continue.
Sometimes when you take the Ferrari out of storage it needs some tinkering to get it race worthy again. This hot rod has been neglected, as we are all aware. BV is simply going through the tinkering process. This baby is gonna purr soon. When they hit the gas, look out.

I just want them to get it together in enough time to put a thrashing on little brother to put them humbly back in their place before we leave. I'm already tired of their big mouths acting like they have achieved anything.
And of course I want them to beat down everyone else in the Big 12 sending a nice big middle finger to the whole conference on our way out.
Did anyone watch the postgame? Soonerscoop guys are reporting that the language that Uggy used basically said that he was doing his job but the other guys weren't.
Micah Bowens, C’mon down and be our read option QB this week with the OL of ours. Think I’m kidding? I’m not, go full on read option and mix in the play action passes – he can’t be that bad at throwing the ball on short throws.

At this point, I'm for anything that will keep the chains moving.

Found this one...from what I could tell there was no blaming others.
I have had to really temper my expectations for this year. So for now I will be happy with beating Nebraska and texsa, along with holding on to this recruiting class.
Why is Beville the default #2? He's really bad and hasn't ever been allowed to throw in his mop up duties. Probably don't have a chance to win with him.
Guess Im not getting whats weird here? The part where he says he will leave it up to brent to discuss DG condition? That doesnt really seem to odd to me cuz many head coaches like to be ones to disseminate that type of info. Or the second part where he says that he (lebby) is responsible to put DG or whoever qb is, in position to succeed? that also doesnt seem strange as he is OC and that is his job.

Beville is straight trash and needs to be handed his walking papers. I really hope he's not taking up a scholly

it says: "it's on him to put QB's in positions to succeed"-
to me that does not speak to an injury and the kids' status for the upcoming game
