If we learned anything tonight, it might be that OUr problem last year wasn't at OC, but rather at QB. That's as bad as I've ever seen Trevor play. I don't think it was the coach's fault.
Eff that!
OU only won by a point!
Fire the whole lot of them...I hear this Beamer guy doesn't have anything to do... let's go for his old tired ***.

TCU put pressure on all night. Both Baker and Trever struggled. I think the coaches had some responsibility.

KSU, throws a WR in against OSU and has more talent then Knight. Any coach that thinks Knight, should play any meaningful downs. Needs to go coach little league, participation trophies, mean nothing in FBS.
That's as bad as I've ever seen any D1 quarterback play. Last year, the excuse was that he didn't have any receivers.
Overall, given the quality of the D, I thought Mayfield played very well. Knight not so much. TCU and Baylor sub QBs better passers. If Mayfield cannot play next week OU will have a tough row to hoe.
It was JH's fault if he was the one who recruited TK and thought that he could play QB even at Division 3.

Parts of last year, he didn't. And in fairness to him, OU's way of doing things in practice is that the backups get fewer reps than some places. But when you looked at the first five minutes of the second half, we'd already lost Baker. Then Samaje went out and then Mixon.
I thought we had a predictable letdown. A lot of energy was spent last week, in one of the three best efforts since McCoy and Bradford and WIlliams got drafted. Maybe the best. Both sides. We played maybe the best game that any team in the country has played.
And TCU was getting guys back on defense and they can play pretty good defense when they have their guys. But I'm mystified that OUr fourth year guy with a dozen games of starting experience can play worse than some young guy at TCU that has played 50 snaps in his college life before tonight.
I was kind of afraid of this. TCU looked horrible last week, just like Texas lost to TCU by 40 plus the week before we played them. There was just so much lack of sharpness at so many levels tonight. That OUr guys would seem to go through the motions with so much on the line Is hard to understand on one level. This was the opposite of Red October, or the three game run my junior year when we beat USC, then Texas, both by three touchdowns, and then eventually number 3 Colorado by four TD's. Part of that might be Patterson.
There were absolutely some Sooner players who were great tonight. Shep just plays and makes plays. Sanchez made two huge picks, though he gave up a touchdown on a little push off in the end in the end zone.
Samaje was stellar despite the injury. It looked like Walker made a bunch of plays.
But the lack of focus that led to four defensive time outs in the game, just because we couldn't get everybody on the page of what we were running, is downright inexcusable.
This team with Baker can beat anybody. Without him, we might be not much better than ordinary.

"This team with Baker can beat anybody." - Yeah that's correct. Hope he's okay for next week. Otherwise it will be a struggle.
Not at all. I just found a good witch doctor to erase those years from my memory. And if you've got to reach that deep to refute my opinion, then I may not be too far off in my observation. He was horrible. And taking into consideration the game experience and time in the program he's had, it's just mind boggling how bad he was.... and a team captain nonetheless.
TCU's defense held down OU, including Baker. I mean there was 4 turnovers. We scored on them but settled for FGs. They made several quality 3rd down stops, that forced FGs.
S22 made mention of it this past week in that we kept hearing all over how OU was just gonna roll over TCU and it was gonna be an easy win. TCU is still loaded with good players. And a pretty solid coach last time I checked. This game was never going to be easy, and TCU wasn't going to just lay down because Boykin wasn't going to play.
PLUS, I think it was inevitable that OU was going to be in a bit of "letdown mode" this week after that huge win last week.
Just be happy OU dodged a huge bullet and got the win. ANY WAY you win is better than losing.

If anyone wonders why so many Sooner fans weren't expecting a great season this year in August, all they have to do is watch a replay of tonight's second half. Nobody, and I mean nobody, expected Baker Mayfield to play like he has this year. Without Mayfield this team is probably 8-4 at best even with all the much improved defensive play. Great running back and players like Shep can't overcome quarterback play like Trevor Knight has to offer. Baker isn't going to win the Heisman, but if there was a MVP Award, he should win hands down. Hopefully next season our freshman QB can become a worthy backup.
Exactly how I look at things. TCU has a bad arse defense and a pretty salty offense even without Boykin. Friday night's TCU / Baylor matchup will be incredible.
