As the Old School coaches would say, "Son, act like you have done it before and you ain't surprised you just did it again!" One of the things I liked about Quinn. He played it cool like he expected to do it every time. Quinn conserved his energy and didn't waste it running and jumping down the field. Hook 'Em! Quote

thatdude2 Posted March 7 Posted March 7 I hate OU. I met Andrew Marsh on Wednesday and I told him I needed them to beat OU. I wouldn’t mind seeing Auburn and Jackson Arnold curb stump OU at OU. They literally hired a 29 year old Arbuckle as OC (brought in his QB coach), but preceded to keep every one of their offensive coaches from last season. If Arbuckle is truly running his offense, he has to teach the other coaches and the players? Smells like a train wreck to me, but who knows maybe Mateer is QB1 in the NFL draft next year. Quote
ArizonaLonghorn Posted March 7 Posted March 7 (edited) Lot of big dudes. New QB looks All-World. Should we be getting worried? Next thing you know they'll be flashing Horns Down again! Edited March 7 by ArizonaLonghorn Quote

Jc Dobbs Posted March 7 Posted March 7 1 hour ago, thatdude2 said: What did you think about Arch’s celebrations? Fair question. I thought Arch was more demonstrative than I was expecting. I think a part of Arch's celebrating was his age-- some of the younger players are celebrating more as each new generation of recruits sees playing time. Another part was Arch enjoying coming off the bench to get some PT or being happy to play well when filling in for Quinn. Finally, Arch celebrated coming off the field and in front of the Texas sideline. Unlike what we saw in the clip from the OU spring practice where the former Washington State QB chased his WR to the end zone imitating the Land Thief wagon and ponies all the way. You have a point. I admit to being an old guy who remembers my late father father fussing about Billy "White Shoes" Johnson's end zone celebrations for the Oilers. Thanks! Quote

I think they are going to be sneaky good. Their DL is going to be one of the best in the SEC, which I think our new OL could have serious problems against. Im not sure they are going to put up many points against us, but they should be improved on offense. I would pick us to win today, but I could easily see them going 8-4 or 9-3. Their schedule next year isn’t as hard as it looks on paper. Edited March 7 by Bunk Moreland Quote
HookemTexas Posted March 7 Posted March 7 OU should be better than they were this year, but if Texas is supposed to be competing for a national championship, they should win this game comfortably. Being a rivalry game it should be closer for about the first half and then pull away in the second half. Quote

I disagree, Arch is a new starter, but he's essentially a redshirt sophomore in year 3 of the system. He'll make some mistakes, but he should be able to play at a fairly high level as well. The rest of the team is fairly reloaded (less experience on the o-line for sure) so Texas should be able to compete. 1 Quote
Moderators CJ Vogel Posted March 7 Moderators Posted March 7 OU will be better. They simply can’t be worse, especially offensively. But I don’t think it will be anything conference altering. 2 Quote

I don't see how you can take nearly the entire OL, DT, WR starters, RB, TE, and DB losses and just say yeah, we can replace NFL guys with unproven players and be just as good. Arch will be fine, but he doesn't have any difference makers around him yet. Next year those young players will have talent + experience, but this year will be a growth year IMO. 1 Quote
Bobbers Posted March 7 Posted March 7 People who doubt the football culture in Norman are kidding themselves. OU will be good again sooner than later. They know football in Norman, and their guys will always consider the RRR as their yearly Super Bowl. Quote
