We all heard Sonny Dykes got tossed from TCU vs SMU game yesterday.I think it's pretty common that the home team gets favorable whistles. I'd love to see the stats to back that up or refute it, but I'm pretty sure that's common.
They did let us keep that forward pass they initially called a lateral though.
Edit it's been shown that home teams get better whistles in college basketball. I'd assume that stat would play out in football too.
Study reveals homecourt advantages in Division I hoops
Is there really such a thing as a homecourt advantage? According to Bleacher Report, when at home (between 2003-2011) comparedwww.thesamfordcrimson.com
You still can’t hit the qb above the shoulders…. The fumble was recovered by Oklahoma so it wouldn’t have been a TD for us.
This is correct. Similar to a tipped ball on a pass, no protections for receivers when touched. Same is for when a quarterback fumbles.I hear you…but the fumble happened before any contact was made which makes the ball live…and the QB should be viewed as a normal player..he didn’t need the protection rules they implemented for QB’s at that point and the football move our defensive player made had nothing to do with the play causing the fumble.
You can’t question this guys football IQ….dude we literally played vanilla in the second half otherwise the score would have been worse…not sure how any fan who understands football can’t see this.Nico in his first road test went 13 of 21 (61.9%) for 194 yards a TD and ended up with 8 rushes for 15 yards, he did have 2 fumbles
As a team we ran for 52 attempts and just 151 yards, 2.9 YPC with 1 TD
OU before we played them was giving up 187 yards passing a game (only Houston has thrown for 200+) and they were only giving up 77.7 rushing yards a game, we're the first team to run for 150 on them and the only team they've played that hit 300 total yards of offense on them.
The game proved 2 things without a doubt. Those are 2 of the top 5 defenses in the SEC. OU got next to nothing until the last few drives when we went prevent.
