🏈 How many wins will Oklahoma have this season?

[TerryP]

I've been seriously entertaining the idea this is a Texas loss this season.

Good Lawd, their last 7 games on the schedule.

Based on reading here that would lead to this as well, "by whom?"

In my view that is more of a reaction to Venables (while discounting the injuries last year) than it is on the talent in Norman. They have more blue chippers than half of the SEC this fall.

It IS a legit question, "What will Venables do with this squad?"

"By whom". Would be #s coming out of sec media days.
1 on offense. 1 on Defense
As per sec media. ( i know that doesn't mean nuthin'). But still

And he sure hasn't proven himself as a great HC .... i know bama game.

It is a legit question. What will he do with this squad. But most every one... has blue chippers bought in

Doesn't add up to haven't more or mediocre talent with unproven coaching and throwing in lsst 2 months of schedule.

Tough year tk wear Sooner red

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

Best case 8-4
worst case 6-6
likely 7-5

Means absolutely nothing on either team.

When your roster gets hit by a train, then ran over by a semi carrying gas...it adds up to OU 2024.

Their question is Mateer. Do they try to run the offense he did at Washington State? OR, does Venables choose to play defense and run the ball. (That's A&M this season.)

You need to explain this one. Are you talking about playing Alabama and then go and lose at )LSU following week?

Im curious to see the data on QB transferring into SEC from different conference and actually play well? Playing against SEC defense is different than playing in ACC or PAC conference.

That would take awhile. We've seen guys like Burrow, Milton, and Coker. An interesting look would be SEC to SEC: Johnson and Vandagriff come to mind.

Meant ....same roster was hit vs lsu. ...n uga...
Cant say it was roster hit vs ok....and not recognizing same roster vs those others..

I think you and Terry are heading in different paths in terms of this conversation.

I think he was talking about Oklahoma depth in last few weeks, not Alabama.


But I want to point out something

Oklahoma injuries at WR took a major hit last season and they literally had nobody. Their offense was disaster the last few weeks .
Missouri 23-20
Alabama 24
LSU 17
It was a train wreck on the offensive side. Their defense wasn't bad at all.

Now if we're talking about Alabama....

We had three players out. All are done for season. Oklahoma had 11 players!!!!!! Out for that game.

It doesn't matter what happened before that game... One game at a time. We were not ready. We were not locked in.. players and coaches. They didn't take sooners seriously like they didn't with vandy.

Yep. Maybe we were.
No. Face it...our QB wasn't near ready. ....maybe whole O. But definitely JM.

Maybe I'm in mood to argue with people today but what I'm telling you... You have to stop looking at this with narrow perspective.

There are two things that are truth:
1.Milroe didn't play well in that game.
2. WR and OL didn't help him..

That's from neutral perspective.

We're talking about OU wins this season. The point is you can't take last year and use it as any form of template for this season and how that team will play. There were FAR too many injuries at OU to get any sort of clear picture on the offense.

All we really know is Mateer had good numbers at WSU even though his play was—no exaggeration here—ugly. He does have the luxury of having his offensive coordinator from WSU at OU this season.

I agree whole heartedly. And Venables game plan was simple. Make Milroe beat them through the air. He didn't. He actually helped them through the air with the pic 6. And they just kept blitzing etc & didn't stop so the OL has mess all game long too because Milroe couldn't get them to back off. The phantom penalty that took points off didn't help either.
