Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[OGbabyaviVol]

There was several Rumors that OU field was going to be slippery.

Trash like this has to be cracked down on. It creates an unfair advantage, but more importantly, it’s risking severe injury to the players!

Is Jackson Arnold really that bad or was it OUs offensive line?

Arnold has some Will Levis catastrophic turnover in him

 

[Jackcrevol]

This hit is up there as one of the most violent i have seen from. A Vol

who was freaking out about Boo earlier? hhhheee's in street clothes?!?

It was Tennessee's defense.

 

[MarcoVol]

Josephs, Pili, Jakobe Thomas. I love the entire defense but these 3 are my favorite to watch play.

Josephs is everywhere. Pili is everywhere. And Thomas murders people.

It was Tennessee's defense.

I think that OL was bad. OU fans think the backup will be the savior, but they're going to realize why he was the backup once teams get some film on him.

There's only so much you can do with a bad OL. Add in your top 3 wr being out, no qb will look good. If we hadn't gone ultra conservative, the new guy probably wouldn't have scored either.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I was watching a post game show that pointed out the drive where we handed the ball to Sampson 8 straight times all the way to a score. I didn't realize that at the time. That was a bone crushing, demoralizing, statement drive. That had to hurt Oklahoma's feelings.

That was the drive that put us up 19-3 towards end of 2nd quarter.

 

[UTvol1fn]

We finally have multiple players that lay the wood. It's across the board. Big props to the coaches and these young men

 

[jave36]

The concern for boo being in street clothes was in the 2nd half, that hit was in the first.

 

[GVol1966]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Arnold go to Miss St next year.

Lebby recruited him.

Yeah I had that thought, And I thought but Ms St??? Surely he’ll have better options.
He was a top QB recruit, so a lot of others recruited him also

Do we know anything more about what happened to him? Maybe concussion type symptoms?

He wouldn’t have to worry about losing his starting position.

Less pressure, don’t have expectations to win 9+ wins every year. He gets coached by the guy that recruited him.

Would be the smartest decision for him, imo

Was it boo in street clothes or Seldon?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I still think the second half was more Heup shutting the O down than anything.
1) 2 backup tackles
3) Our D Line was eating them alive
3) Try to limit injury risk

None of those reasons you gave make sense. Who cares about expectations and being coached by the guy who recruited you?

That would be one of the worst decisions ever. The kid is still a potential nfl qb, he doesn't need to mail in his career and go to a crappy school with low expectations because his qb coach would be someone who recruited him.

And it's a moot point anyway because he'll be right back out there once the backup performs even worse than he did once teams are able to game plan for him. And once OU gets their OL together and isn't missing all 3 of their starting WR, he'll look like a good qb. The only reason they brought in the backup is because he's more mobile, and that's all that matters until the OL gets better.

 

[jave36]

The pass that was a fumble or whatever would not have mattered because they called roughing the passer.

It's not roughing the passer if he fumbled, because if he fumbled he wasn't a passer.

 

[knoxvol52]

It was Tennessee's defense.

Word is Tennessee broke Oklahoma. Just thought I spread the Word..

 

[franklinpence]

So, in other words, two bad calls against the Vols on the same play?

Edit: I like @jave36’s answer too.

It wasn't an unfair advantage, they have to play on it too. Their field has been crappy all year, they didn't change it just for us. Their fans hate it as much as we do.

It does risk injury, and I suspect the field is partially to blame for the dozens of injuries plaguing their team.

I'm not convinced it was a fumble from the one view we got, but it was malpractice not to stop the game and review it.

Feedback from friends that traveled.

The fan experience was excellent. it would be hard for us not to cheer for OU the remaining of their season.

Their fans are great. Tailgates welcome to all, food and beverage ,you name it. Just good people that love their team and school but decent humans to opposing fans that travel.

My parents were there with friends. Went to eat Friday night and met a few fans. Went to pay for their dinner and the Oklahoma fan had picked up the tab for the entire group. They also said all the fans were super nice and welcoming.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Wow!! I was waiting for him to say the scheme is “infallible” Not a good look throwing your players under the bus.
