I see at least that many by season's end.

Rattler has an adequate arm and pocket presence. However, he can't punish teams by scrambling (like Baker, Kyler, and Jalen) and don't believe opposing defenses don't know it.

I remember how LSU essentially laughed when told they had to stop Kennedy Brooks. Gray isn't going to scare anyone either. It's unfathomable to me that OU has no legitimate home run threat on its roster--fully understanding that Alabama flipped two elite RB prospects in the last two years from us. Now the impact of those defections is coming home to roost. It doesn't help that we lost one of our best young RB prospects to the fact that he couldn't resist being a criminal/a-hole.

Finally, our OL has to look itself in the mirror and not like what it sees. Not only do we not maul or intimidate opposing defenses, we barely move them.

I will say that if Mike Stoops were still here, we'd have lost our last two games by double digits. However, if our offense doesn't pull its head from the very dark place from which it currently resides, that's exactly what will happen against KSU and Texas. Baylor, ISU, and O-State are right behind them licking their chops.

Hurts was a 1,000 yard plus rusher. Better check me out on that but I’m pretty sure. That takes a lot of pressure off the offensive line because alot of those yards were just Hurts doing his thing like Kyler did. Rattler doesn’t have that going for him. And Brooks rushed for a 1,000 too.

I was thinking last night that a lot of these teams will be extra motivated to beat OU since OU is leaving for the SEC and who knows how many more chances they will get to do that so I think we are going to get everyones best shot more so than usual. Even more reason to get that O cranked up and firing on all cylinders.
If they don't soon we will see some losses for sure and could just as easily be sitting at 1-3 right now instead of 4-0. Time is not on their side right now.
