Absolutely. I'm as hard as anyone on Mike. But today is not one of them. OU's defense really played solid today overall. Perfect time for Mike and the defense to peak with the playoffs coming up. I don't think I've been this confident going into a playoff/natty game since the 2003/2004 debacles. I really don't see ANY potential playoff team OU could face that really worries me.

Absolutely. Parnell Motley and Will Johnson deserve game balls.

Nice job overall by the D, but I felt like they missed a couple too many tackles after initial contact. The good news is, they shut down the Frogs in the 2nd half. Mike does seem to have the ability to make good adjustments at halftime. Today was no exception.

Clemson should worry you. They have a better offense and defense versus TCU.

I think it will be OU and Clemson in the final, and that it will be a hell of a game. I predict it will be OU by seven however, and Reilly will bring home #8 to kick off his legendary OU career.

I’m a Clemson fan and I have to say OU scares me the most. Your offense is dangerous. I’d love to see you guys in the final game.

Baker has so much experience and he’s running the offense so well right now. Our defensive backfield is a bit thin right now and we tend to leave people open a lot. I’m afraid Mayfield will be able to find them.

They're having no problems with Miami. Then again, I was never impressed with Miami, I think they're overrated.

Miami is missing their best receiver and a tight end that’s a stud. I think Miami is over rated a little. We seem to get away with leaving people open by getting pressure on the quarterback. I think Baker is good enough to find and exploit the mistakes we make with our coverage. It feels like he’s been starting at OU for 8 years. I’ll be glad/relieved when he’s gone.
