Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Houston

[stonewallpoke]

Let’s not do that again.

Hell, let’s not do the last couple of meetings with Houston again, either.

Our winning streak was fun. Three wins over ranked teams, including Bedlam. It had to end somewhere, I suppose. Big group trips to Orlando can get really difficult in the rain, trust me.

We have a chance to start another winning streak. We have to if we want to play for something meaningful.

Don’t think for a second that Ollie doesn’t take it personally that he had under 30 yards last week. Houston, you might have a problem.

(Sorry, low hanging fruit I know)

Go POKES!!

 

[Osucowboys344]

Just win. Don’t care how you get it

 

[OrangeFanatic2]

Nervous. First time all season honestly. Just win!

 

[Chairman of the Board]

My concern is our beat up OL.

 

[Newpoke]

My concern is that our D is gonna get shredded through the air. Can't understand why we're still giving up that many big plays.

Poor technique and not understanding their assignment. They get caught flat footed too much. Then they are scrambling to recover then either don’t get their head around and get called for pass interference or they give up a big play because they lose the WR

That's inexcusable at this point of the season.

 

[Chairman of the Board]

Houston is 12th in the league in both offense and defense and the worst (even worse than us) at 3rd down defense. Surely we can take advantage.

 

[PF5]

not nervous at all...was last week, and rightfully so...if we win out, we are in the Big 12 Ship, if not we obviously DO NOT deserve it...it is what it is...Go Pokes!

Are you serious about them being worse than us a 3rd downs? I didn't think anyone could be worse than us especially 3rd and long

I agree with everything you said, however, I'm not sure getting your head around/making a play for the ball matters anymore. I'm so confused I no longer have any idea what PI even is.

 

[zone2poke]

we are capable of beating the best. We are capable of losing to the worst. What’s it gonna be today?

 

[stonewallpoke]

Full OSU band made the trip, for the record.

So the OSU band will be like 25% of the crowd?

We are going to have a ton of orange in the stands today.
