Not looking good for our games against Alabama and Georgia. We held on to win against the 15th ranked team and, we really don’t know just how good they are/were.

The ga who barely beat KY in a road night game?

We beat a better team by more......maybe it's not looking good for ga.

Oline struggling is what caused it imo. He let the defense do their thing and scaled back the offense to minimize turnover risk.

A road win is always great. But the offensive woes still leave a little sour taste.

Yep. I thought it was overly conservative. Didn’t see the killer instinct tonight especially in the 4th qtr. but we did something we haven’t done in 29 games so I can’t complain. On that 4th and 1 at the 15 we kicked kicked a FG. Still a two possession game either way there. I would have liked to have seen the decision to put the game away right there.

Nico clearly has some work to do, but he will get better every week. He is special, and I would take him over any other QB on any college football roster. Other than Ohio State, no other team in America has played better than us. I like our chances for having a historically great season this year.

Not a negative thing as so many arrogant fans seem to think. He recognized early on that we couldn’t effectively protect a 3-step drop without Heard. The only way Oklahoma wins that game was if we continued to turn the ball over. He put a stop to it and we won by 2 scores as a result.

Y’all should be praising him for making the adjustment and playing to win the game rather than playing to win fan votes.

I was thinking the exact opposite. Our defense played great and Nico got his first win on the road at night. Georgia beat Kentucky 14-13. Vols and Dawgs will be a great game.

I told my dad (a Notre Dame fan) that if we win this game, we roll until the Georgia game, and the winner of that game wins the Natty. GO BIG ORANGE!!!

Oklahoma is a good football team with a very good defense. I think this was an impressive win, dare I say FAR more impressive than Georgia’s 13-12 thriller from last week against a one-dimensional 1-1 football team.

Conspiracy theory, but I wonder if Terry having so much Intel on how are offense is ran helped their defense prepare.
Plus it didn't help our play calling not having Heard.... and Nico getting nailed a few times on misses blocks.

The offensive woes don’t leave a sour taste against a good defense. The spread was a touchdown for a reason.
