Texas had motion and shifts throughout the game.  Perhaps you are thinking of the NoU offense??

Look at the first drive of the 3rd quarter . They didn't motion  much. Either way not going to argue after a great win.

That was not the same OL we had seen the last few weeks.  Best game we have played this year.

I was guilty of overreacting to Nick Brooks’s bad start coming off the heels of that showing in Gainesville. He got it together and played well today. If we can get that kind of showing from the OL the rest of the year, we just might still have some hope of turning it around.

Agreed they played with something to prove

I, for one, would have never guessed changing the LG would have such a tremendous impact on how the line can look. I’m actually flabbergasted

OU did not have a single red zone play!!!

Thanks Jeff. I have really needed to read this for a long time. It appears that Venables has a Texas problem.

Left guard may indeed soon become a team strength for the Texas offense. Fingers crossed.

jeez, I thought some of our fans were bad, watching the OU post-game shows are brutal.  The mods are miserable parasites.

Jeff, once again, great article. You always sum up the after thoughts of a game pretty well - good or bad. I agree, savior this win, as a fan for 20 years now, I've seen my fair share of losses to the Sooners and also upset of the Sooners. These games are always great.

Loved the effort and attitude of the boys to get it done and bounce back from last weeks showing. Penalties were down, turnovers were down and they lit the OU O up. All it took was some pressure to rattle Mateer and he seemed spooked. 

So happy for the boys especially because I'm certain it wasn't easy after last week and how it panned out. Looks like Bobby's predictions could play out with the 10-2 but I'm certain the boys are focused and ready to tackle Kentucky next week, after savouring the OU tears for a while.

I'm watching the game now, as I didn't get a chance to watch when it was live, unfortunately. Brooks seems like he is coming a long. Certainly had some whiffs early on but I think the positive runs by Wisner gave him confidence and he used that confidence to get better through out the game. If so, that bodes well going into next year but we'll see.

My only dislike, is that I didn't like them just throwing Brooks into the mix last week like that. If they knew he was the best option, they should've used the three G5 games to get him reps. But anyway, I digress. He at least gives us a better chance there.

He was in the doghouse for the DWI.

There was another player who got a DWI well after Brooks that saw playing time before Brooks

For 4 games? We never saw him until Sam Houston State. Seem harsher than what most people get for that type of stuff in college ball. Just saying.

I saw several plays where Burke was going against him and getting held a lot. The most egregious was when he was right behind Mateer and Fasusi was holding on for dear life lol.
