What about them screams good team? Their defense is good, but not great. They don't have good RB play. They dont have good OL play. They have issues at QB. What part of this team is good.My concern is that this is a good team that hasn't figured things out yet. Hopefully that trend continues Saturday but I am not banking on it.

Not saying agree with him, but go down Oklahoma’s Roster.What about them screams good team? Their defense is good, but not great. They don't have good RB play. They dont have good OL play. They have issues at QB. What part of this team is good.
We both know that development and scheme fit means way more than rankings. You can go down most teams rosters and see players that we recruited as well, doesn't mean that they panned out.Not saying agree with him, but go down Oklahoma’s Roster.
I counted 20 guys that Tennessee also recruited pretty heavily on their roroster.
the OU DL is legit but only the starters. I think this is a close game through half and we start to pull away running the ball in the second half when the DL get tired from lining up so fast.What about them screams good team?

I have the same concern. People were saying Oregon could be in for a disappointing season until they figured things out last weekend beat Oregon State by 35 points. Prior to that they'd beaten Idaho and Boise State by a combined 13 points.My concern is that this is a good team that hasn't figured things out yet.

QB threw for 361 yards in their bowl game last year in his first collegiate appearance. He's a former 5-star. Don't think he sucks as bad as his statistics indicate.What about them screams good team?

I understand what you are saying but teams normally don't start figuring things out against another great/elite team. It is no secret that Oklahoma has issues with it's offensive line in both the rushing game and in pass protection. Oklahoma has not had a good start to the season in terms of running the ball. Arnold is their leading rusher and a lot of that has come from scrambling out of collapsing pockets. OU's line has dealt with injuries so far and they just haven't been good. This is not a game you try to "figure things out" in going up against a D-line like Tennessee's. That is something you have to already have locked down to hold the Vols' front 7 from wreaking havoc in the Oklahoma backfield. We're just too good up front and too deep. They will have to rely on Arnold's arm and his legs while pairing that with a stout defensive performance Saturday. They will not be able to win this game if they get behind early. They will have to stay within striking range.My concern is that this is a good team that hasn't figured things out yet. Hopefully that trend continues Saturday but I am not banking on it.
I wouldn't say the team is good yet, but they do have a very talented roster. More talented than ours overall, even. However, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. So while Tennessee has the better team at the moment, Oklahoma has, in general, more quality parts.What about them screams good team? Their defense is good, but not great.
