Love how he got off the blocking at will! He should show others how to do that.
I love the young guys coming in and I think Kanak will be starting by Novemeber...you cant keep him off the field. Is it bad Im less worried about the defense? lol
My question is why isn't he starting now? We can see it but the coaches keep saying he doesn't know what he is doing but yet he makes more plays when he is playing than the starters now. If we can hold onto the 2023 class we will start building something special I believe. Need to hit the portal hard at least this year again. We need experience but dudes that play violent and angry. Speed is lacking right now too. Either lack of speed or playing to tentatively afraid to make a mistake. It looks like we play not to lose instead of paying to win right now.

I think they will have to start playing the young guys starting this week. This will be a good signal to the recruiting classes that youth will play and that they can be successful as younger players. I think a lot of shirts get burned in the upcoming weeks
Yeah I don't believe that for a damn minute. Beville isn't even the 2nd best QB on a 2 deep QB roster.
I don't believe that he is outperforming anybody in practice. Not Bowens, not Evers, not Booty, not the walk-ons, nobody.
Someone stated and it may be true......he didnt want Evers or whoever to come in and play really well , win and then theres a QB controversy
The fact that he has doubled down on Beville after that crap performance and was so quick to turn down the gamer question and seems to not like being questioned like TBOW makes me think that's exactly what happened.

Fire Lebby then. He didn't want to win the game or have his backup Qb play well so that there is a controversy. I simply can't believe that. If I was Evers and I believed that I would been in the portal now.
I remember the story coming out about Trent Smith, Rocky, TRRW and some of the other players at OU during the Stoops' transition talking about staying together and being the group that turned things around.
Hopefully, this class has that same mentality. Staying together and being part of turning this thing around.
Maybe I've been out of the loop but I thought I heard on the radio that Booty was sick and unavailable for the RRR game? Anybody else heard this? If that is the case then I feel "a little" better about Lebby. Maybe Booty was not available and Evers hadn't got much game prep and didn't feel ready. I don't know but it all just feels like the twilight zone season.

I've been underwhelmed with Lebby to this point. Obviously, DG's accuracy issues haven't helped. One of the things believed about Lebby coming in was that the Baylor offense absolutely hammered taking advantage of mismatches. They would continue to run the ball at weak links or throw to a receiver who owned the opposing db. Mims should be getting at least 10 targets a game, if the defense starts doubling then go to Willis or Farooq. All I've seen is wanting to go tempo, but that in and of itself is not enough. Get the ball to your best players period.

Same here. Seems like we only run 7 or 8 plays over and over.
It's Wednesday, about the time of the week I usually start letting go of a loss and looking forward to the next game (tend to hang onto losses longer).
What do you want to see on Saturday?
For me:
1. A win period. I don't care if it's on a 50 yd field goal as time runs out and we win 3-0, or in a 51-48 shootout. Just get a W. 2. DG to return and play well. 3. Something on defense. Better tackling with presence (not getting dragged 5 yards), some actual qb pressure if it's not too much to ask. DBs finding the ball. 4. Offense going to playmakers.

1. I want to see the guys on defense not being schemed to fail anymore because they're outnumbered and out-leveraged in the box. Period. No 3 man front on your own 2 yardline. Ever. Period.

I just want our linebackers and secondary to be turned around looking at the offense before the ball is snapped.

I want to see if Evers or Booty can play and if they cant ....put in Bowens ...DG hasnt impressed me at all this season...very avg..AT Best

Amen, brother! I usually put out my OU flag on the flag pole but last week I had a bad feeling about the texsa game after embarrassing losses to Kstate and TCU so I didn't fly it because it has been so embarrassing. Imagine me living in Arkansas and even being embarrassed by Pig fans giving me a hard time. Arkansas is also losing but not the way we have been losing. I still feel like this season is the twilight zone of football seasons. Weird.

I dont remember exactly when, but I could have swore that I saw a 3 man front, with no other players in view of the TV screen. I was thinking "how far back are the other 8 players lined up???" bonkers.
"I'm not saying it was aliens...but it was aliens."

Further love that Roof agreed with the reporter that OU was best in the 4-front. If they go back to that and get Kanak in for Uggy, I think the defense evolves back to respectable. I've been really disappointed in the entire DL this year. All of them.
bowman will be sorely missed
Psalm 34:14: "Depart from evil, do good, seek peace, and pursue it."
"what deliverer could break the power of Pharaoh?"
Kinda feels like they're just treading water to get to next year and beyond, using the older guys as cannon fodder to protect the psyche of the younger, more talented players.
Yep. And I'm beginning to think that Roof is also "hired cannon fodder" and he knows that's his role. If you look at his track record, it kinda fits.
roof was rumored to have been a placeholder early on

Was Baylor's offense up tempo? I just remember them heavily taking advantage of mismatches. They were very balanced and would run if you showed a 3 man drop 8 and would throw quick passes over the middle when you tried to play the run and then if there was a one on one mismatch would take a shot downfield. They just had an answer for everything.
