Texas had no answers for OU's offense. It seems the only time OU failed to score was either TOs, penalties, or bad playcalling (which killed 2 drives early).

When OU just played normal plays and not force Kyler to take off immediately, Texas had a lot of trouble stopping them.

Another big difference was when Brooks got in the game, he really looked good and he was still learning the offense. This time he should be a major force because last game they relied on Sermon and Sutton a lot.

On defense, OU seemed to have a lot of trouble stopping the QB, either on designed option runs or running out of the pocket.

I think they need to use Kelley as a spy on Ehlinger and if he takes off, nail him. Early on, it appeared some WR screens and their size was a problem but OU made adjustments in the 2nd half that negated most of that, but Ehlinger running continued to hurt.

Too many times, OU gave up chunk yards on 3rd and 20, allowing Texas to convert on 4th and short.

If OU can take care of the ball, limit penalties and contain Ehlinger, OU should win BIG!

Btw, OU did get pressure on Ehlinger, but he was able to escape just about every time, usually gaining 5-10 yards.

Great analysis of that game. We have no turnovers and this a rout.

It's time for Kelly (not Kelley) to live up to his so-called 5 star rating.
OU will once again have to win with offense alone.
I'm done with any hope or positive expectations for the defense to get its act together this season.

Happy for the win. If I had a gripe, it’d be that Riley appears to forget we can’t afford to go conservative on offense. I think if we had stayed in the hurry up in the 3rd q we could have put them to bed early

I’ve been posting there for quite a while. LonghornMM is a good Mod imo.. I keep it pretty respectful. I think LonghornMM is lenient with me because I’ve taken a lot of grief over there over the RRS. I only get sideways with a few posters.

I guess saying something about Austin (their version of liberal land) is what did it.I used no language or anything worth banning for.I guess Austin is a soft spot for them:pun intended
