Baker Mayfield's numbers at halftime are almost unbelievable:
Passing 15-19 for 316 yards and 2 TD's
Rushing 7 carries 69 yards and 2 TD's
All that, and the score is 31-24 at halftime! All three TU TD's followed OU turnovers.

OU had 2 downs to get 1 yard....and yet they didn't run the ball. AIR RAID FOR LIFE!!!
The O-line is seriously struggling w/ run blocking. Riley sees this.
Well OU has 150yrs rushing for the first half...so not like the run game has been non-existent. Baker has alot of it, but overall OU is averaging over 7yds a carry.
Again, until Mike starts playing chess, these guys are in trouble. The only decision he's making it whether to send 4 or 5 at the QB.
The QB and OC at Tulsa are comfortable here. They know exactly what the coverage is pre-snap every single play.
Sure, you can blame players. They've made mistakes, but you can live with that. What you can't continue to do is watch Mike trot true Freshman CBs and Parker out there and put them on an island vs good WRs. You're going to lose that battle a LOT.

This is week three and we cant stop the special teams penalties, this is week 3 and out offensive line still sucks, this is week 3. This is week 3 and we cant get our premier back more than 100 yards. This is week 3 and our secondary is being exposed. This is week three and our coached havent correct at least some of these. This is week three and we are undefeated and that Im proud of. Thanks heaven for Sooner Magic...but how soon do we use it all up? I love the Sooners with all my heart, my world revolves around this team. I wear a monogrammed OU shirt everyday...and to Church too! I'll be a Sooner fan for as long as I breathe. But I may not be able to come back from third heart attack!

Because I'm not a football technician, what should our defense be doing against this offense? Blitz more? Really curious.
I was thinking the same thing. In Waco, I'm not real confident that we can defend this scheme. OUr DB's are gassed. Missing THomas hurts more than a little. When this is over, he will have missed five of the first 12 quarters of the season. If you can't count on a guy to take care of his business, it doesn't matter how good he is.
On that hail mary, in that part of the end zone when the ball arrived, they had four receivers and we had two defenders.
I think we're going to find out later that Samaje is out for the year. I think he broke a bone in his hand on the fumble play.
Never mind about Perine.
But i cannot understand why Tulsa's first year head coach, can install a better scheme with Tulsa's athletes than our new OC can with ours.
I still think that Bedenbaugh is way over rated.
I also think we may end up getting beat today. Their offense has been pretty consistent running and passing. I don't see our D slowing them down. TU just figured out how to mess with Mayfield. Make him stay in the pocket.

Lol yup Plaino it's good to see Perine back on the field..nice run to start the half as well.
Baker ran for the majority of those 150 yds on scrambles. But lining up and handing it off, the O-line is struggling.
There is no silver bullet here. Mix things up. Make the OC adjust. Give the QB different coverages to look at.
Mike had run straight man on the backend on 95% of the snaps. The QB and OC know exactly what's coming based on the alignment. They're basically playing catch.
Players need to play better, but you know what you have out there, including a true frosh CB. Put them in positions where they can have consistent success.
Definitely needs to make adjustments but two offensive turnovers has not helped his case at all. Turnovers are the equalizer of all things in football, yards & points.
It hasn't been said except at the beginning of the game one of the announcers said, "Internal discipline".
What pressure? Hippee Boy has the cleanest uniform on the field. Where is our Stryker!
Thomas is a soph. Where is Austin? Where is Taylor? How about Marcus Green?
Mike keeps cycling through these guys, looking for Richard Sherman. Next year, he'll have a new true frosh ahead of PJ.
Knights fuming on the sideline...he aint gonna get to play the 4th...lol
Tulsa entered this game as one of the top offenses in CFB. I expected them to put up yds and points. But those two turnovers have really hurt us in the game so far.
