He's not rated high enough as a recruit for Stoops. Barker is Stoops' guy..that much has been made clear..he was the jewel of Stoops '14 recruiting class..Stoops loves that kind of stuff

Agreed, until he looks terrible for the first time against a legit SEC D and then people will want Barker back in there. Never fails.
It's definitely running through the back of my head. Johnson has performed admirably today and I agree with OP...he's earned the starting job. That being said he's got some issues and I agree with you...we'll be calling for him as soon as Carolina and Vandy who both have pretty decent defenses make him look below average.

The thong that makes johnson better is his ability to run. Will keep defenses more honest....but sec defenses will give him fits, and expose his passing weaknesses...not to mention, were prob gonna have to score 60 to beat any sec opponent with this defense.

Probably so, but last week we saw how Barker looks against an SEC defense and it was a horror show. Could Johnson possibly be any worse?

I know this was just a crappy New Mexico State defense today, but I really liked what Johnson showed. His running ability opens things up and gives our offense a whole new dimension it didn't have before. I hope he's our new starter.

He did have some sort of weird loyalty towards towles last season, regardless of how putrid towles play was we still kept him in there. No. Matter. What.

We found a defense worse than ours...having said that, he did some good things and I think the QB position should be wide open.

Any update on Barker's injury? May be a moot point and we have no choice but Johnson.
He looked poised and in control. Plus he must have looked at the roster and realized we have a tight end.

I don't care what anybody says... Stoops still needs to go.
You won't find many that disagree. OP is right though. Johnson and Snell were impressive. Gran and Hinshaw are the only coaches on staff that don't suck.

I agree. His thong makes him so much better...allows him more freedom to run and much more comfortable.

I agree....Barker/Johnson can be serviceable, but DEFENSE WILL KEEP US DOWN.

Whatever thong he is wearing needs to be distributed to the entire team

[roll]I agree with you, but your typo has given this thread new life. Was gonna make my own thong joke but others beat me to it.

If the thong proves to be the difference I want exclusive marketing rights.
Georgia Bulldog red with a pic if UGGA on the crotch. Bama with an elephant trunk. Cats?.........depends on how they play. I'll leave it to your imagination.
