other than a muffed kick return and a 4th down stop there werent any other "highlight" plays IMO. Just a very very pedestrian game. So sad for loyal UT fans who had so much hope for a return to prideful football.

Everyone take a deep breath, were gonna be 2-0 like we thought before the season. Were gonna have a tough day in Norman next week(as most of us thought). We're young had a few growing pains. We are pretty much right where we thought we would be.

1.) I thought our running game would look better. I am EXTREMELY worried about our lack of ability to run the football.

2.) In 2 games we lost our starting left tackle, one of our key WR's, and our starting TE (hopefully Wolf will return). We cannot afford to keep losing players at this rate.

3.) We still cannot throw the ball down the field consistently.

We are 2-0, yes. But you can't just look at the record. You have to peel back the layers a bit and look deeper. At this rate I can't see us making a bowl game this season unless we improve in leaps and bounds.

Anyone thinking there weren't going to be some growing pains this year considering all of the Fr we are playing isn't being realistic. We are young, and with very little depth.

I hate the guy but give petrino this offense. We do have stud skill players. You just can't see it with the play calling. Hope we a r e "holding back. our defense just looked worse because of time on the field. I do believe in our defense in the future..

There were quite a few highlight plays if you watched the whole game. Your negative attitude is absolutely ridiculous

Wow, what a sh!tfest. I'm kind of glad DirecTV made me miss the beginning. I'm going to go put my balls in the microwave to compensate for the lack of excitement today.

People need to understand this is a VERY young football team that is learning how to win. 7-5 or 6-6 is still in the cards. A bowl game is the only objective this year, period.

It's going to be a stretch for this team to win 6 games. Looking at our schedule, I'm struggling to find that 6th win at this point. This team will overachieve in my opinion to go to a bowl game. Kiffin and Dooley where like the death penalty to our program.

The play calling has been vanilla in both games. Arky State was running trick plays out of the wazoo. We are a better team.
