Official Game Thread: Oklahoma State vs. Texas

[Okstatekerr]

Alabama up 17-7 on Georgia. Would be hilarious for Texas to beat us and still get left out of the playoffs in favor of Alabama and Georgia

In many of those cases, its because they were so out of position that they were reaching with arm tackles or chasing from behind - totally on their heels from the first series. What it looked like to me is that Texas had a clear advantage in scheme and prep fabricated by an elite staff, and we looked like really ill-prepared amateurs.

You know what, @Backin82 ?

I’m sorry.

Not because I think you’re right. But because the spirit of the season tells me it’s a time to be kind to our fellow men.

I apologize for being aggressive. We’re all frustrated with this game. We live to fight another day.

Happy holidays, bud.

They did, multiple 5* kids offered by other blue bloods. Our guys will be just fine, they need time to develop.

Much more concerned about the development of our DC. At this level you shouldn’t have to develop coordinators on the fly. Lets just hope we don’t see a mass exodus due to the incompetence shown this year.

 

[Pokes31]

Nardo still has thr training wheels on. That is unacceptable at this point in the season. We run three down lineman with a stand up end every play and routinely drop 8 and still can’t cover. It is time for him to go.

Let me make this super super simple for you “fire Nardo guys”, you do not and I repeat do not fire a coordinator after year 1. Period. End of discussion on that. Now, if we’re having the exact same struggles next year with no improvement, then you can start the discussion. It’s really simple.

Well then get used to the same old crap next year. He had all year to improve and what did he do he got worse. Cut our losses and move on.

Well, you might as well make it a package deal with Dunn. He has had how many years to do something better than what we saw today. Knowles was worse in his first year as a DC and the offense was better than what we have today. 2018 is wondering what you think.

I'll sign off on a 2024 conference championship loss right now. Where is the paperwork.

I have to disagree. He coached against one of the best offensive minds in the game. He has to learn, but give the whorns credit they are really good. It kills me to say that

You’re so wise. Like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.

Sanders can run. That’s about the only difference. Not saying it wouldn’t have helped today, but I think we’re only one score better with Spencer today.

Yea

Agree to disagree…not saying we win but this offense has more limitations with bowman than sanders. Outside of the OU game…bowman has been mediocre all season. I’d give the passing game edge to sanders…bigger arm and surprisingly more accurate than bowman. Bowman mechanics are worse than sanders and sanders doesn’t have the greatest mechanics as a qb

sanders & his inaccuracy left.

Tell him hello at your family holiday gathering.

 

[Stillwaterman]

We were playing 4 freshman on the backend against the best passing attack in the country. Nardo was doing damage control before the opening snap.

How did you know about my body hair issue!!!! Have we attended the same orgies?!?

Also I am solidly in my cups and "I'm better when I drink"

I hope you are right, but I see a DC that is lost and all he knows to do is play a base front and hope for the best. You have to be multiple against good teams. You can’t give Ewers all day to throw especially with our DBs.

Don’t waste your time trying to explain that to these dudes. If we were playing the Kansas City Chiefs some of these dudes would be pissed if we didn’t execute every single snap. Which tells me, some on this board have zero clue about sports beyond the score.

Well only Tech gave up more points to TX this year. They could have named their number today. I think it is natural for us to expect the defense to be competitive.

And they will be. We have some good young talent and these assistant coaches worked under Knowles as well. We’ll improve and be ok.

With younger players all playing a new system.

 

[Osucowboys344]

I think we need better OL and QB just my opinion

Hopefully Flores is the guy because a good QB in the portal comes with a steep price tag.
