Recruiting Football Talk VIII

We took our foot off the gas offensively in the 2nd half at Norman. Heck, we didn't just take our foot off the gas, we applied the emergency brakes. Our offense hasn't performed even at first half OU levels since. I'm not trying to get into a debate about whether that was the best strategy to win that game. I'm just saying that there is a notable difference in the before that halftime and after.
What was the reason that we got conservative with play calling at Oklahoma?

UT - 20
Kentucky - 17


With 5 seconds left, Phil Ingram handled a poor snap and Alan Duncan kicked a 25 yrd field goal, to give the Vols a 20-17 victory in Lexington. The win assured the Vols of a Bluebonnet Bowl bid. With Jimmy Streater out with a knee injury, Jeff Olszewski filled in admirably. His main job was handing the ball off to Hubert Simpson. Simpson had a school record 35 carries for 181 yrds.

Not going to lie - this Vandy game has me nervous
If we don’t throttle them, we don’t deserve it. Makes it easier on the mind.

My hope is that we finally found something on offense and our defense starts dominating like earlier in the year. Obviously, good teams found a way to exploit us so we need to adjust

I think getting out of there with a 3 to 7 point win will be fine. Winning there by 3 hasn’t hurt Texas.

I’m thinking a 21-17 type game

I bet they are considering it was a 2 point loss at Alabubba. That Oklahoma loss is going to kill their ranking. Should drop atleast 6-8 spots maybe more.
Heather Dinich I believe has Bama as the first team out. She’s usually almost right on. I would not put it past them to make sure Bama has a shot to get in. C’mon Auburn. Bury them.

At least in the near term, Alabama will always need one more loss than the rest of college football teams. Until the Saban glow wears off.
