Official Sooner-Texas Tech game thread.

[Raysor]

We'll kick off in two hours. We may not get to see the start since Penn State-Michigan State is going to be up against 6:30, our scheduled game time. They're still late first half.

Psu is blowing out Sparty

 

[Raysor]

Earlier in the week, the forecast was for wintery mix and temps in the 30's. But the skies are clear in Lubbock temps will be in the low 40's until the 4th quarter. For a night game in Lubbock after Thanksgiving, that's about as good as you can hope for. Maybe more importantly, the wind will be light all evening. Ought to be a good night for offenses.

Psu is blowing out Sparty

It's now 21-16. Sparty has shored up the run defense in the 2nd half.

-----------------------------
Penn State just scored to make it 28-16 with 4:15 left. Then they intercepted and threw a TD pass on the first snap. Catch under review. I don't think we'll see the kickoff live. 3:56 left. Penn State up 35-16. Twelve minutes until our supposed kickoff. Unless PSU gets the ball back quickly, this game is running past 6:30 pm.

-------------------
They did it with a minute to spare. 35-16 FInal

 

[Raysor]

Sooner fumble recovery on Tech's first possession. Touchdown pass to Mims on 4th and 2. Sooners 7-0.

 

[hubstar55]

Nice start

 

[ETU]

There’s the first ref screw up.

 

[Raysor]

We look sharp, but the stripes are already screwing us again.

 

[Raysor]

So far, this is looking like the first quarter last week. Let's get 28 again.

 

[ETU]

Defense is looking good. Best I’ve seen them play this year. But it’s early.

 

[hubstar55]

Great 1st Qtr. Still think BV should have taken the points instead the fake FG. However I get it that he tried it

I agree. Seems these former DCs are more willing to gamble offensively.

 

[Raysor]

This crew sucks. On the play from the 10, Ugwoegbu got tackled.

 

[hubstar55]

Lets see if the offense responds here.

 

[hubstar55]

WTH with these refs

 

[hubstar55]

He clearly had the first down and the SOB stripe moves it back a good yard

 

[Raysor]

The official on our sideline in the first half has screwed us on spots about five times. That one was crucial.

HOW WAS THAT NOT REVIEWED!!!!

 

[Raysor]

My oh my. I could have scored on that. Mims is having a night. 24-6 Sooners

 

[hubstar55]

Yet here we go again.

 

[ETU]

That was a hell of an interception.

 

[hubstar55]

Want to bet Lebby gives Tech back the ball one more time

 

[ETU]

Tech offense has come alive and our defense has gone to sleep.

 

[Raysor]

We need to go score

 

[BUDDY G_rivals25215]

This looks familiar

 

[ETU]

That play should be ripped from the playbook

 

[hubstar55]

I am not trying to be critical here but its obvious Lebby can call a good opening quarter but he is also showing he is not a OC that can adjust as the game develops on.

 

[BUDDY G_rivals25215]

I'm speechless at this point. I've never seen a coaching staff work so hard to go against what's working.

 

[LVPack]

I am not trying to be critical here but its obvious Lebby can call a good opening quarter but he is also showing he is not a OC that can adjust as the game develops on.

He doesn’t have Lane Kiffin telling him what to do.

 

[coeSooner81]

He is awful, his go to play is the jet sweep, that's what junior high coaches call when they don't know what else to run.

 

[hubstar55]

1st Qtr Grades

Offense - A
Defense - A+

2nd Qtr

Offense - D ( outside of the wide open TD pass nothing)

Defense - F

I guess we will see which offense and defense shows up in second half

 

[hubstar55]

I would honestly like to be a fly on the wall in locker room at the half. I hope it would include BV getting in Roofs and Lebbys ***

 

[BUDDY G_rivals25215]

We continue to look lost in zone coverage and the 3 man rush is a guarantee for offensive success for whomever we're playing.

 

[coeSooner81]

A head coach is only as good as the coaches he has around him. Bv sucks because of the guys he hired as coordinators. Neither one of these guys have a clue what they are doing.

 

[4th & 14]

Can we say Lebby...you’re fired. Loud and from every roof top. Roof not a defensive wizard either. 17 unanswered points is on you Coach dumb fvcks.

 

[coeSooner81]

I can already hear it. lebby post game "I got to do better".

 

[BUDDY G_rivals25215]

At this point if we lose I'll deal with it but can we see some adjustments?

 

[Raysor]

I am not trying to be critical here but its obvious Lebby can call a good opening quarter but he is also showing he is not a OC that can adjust as the game develops on.

Sorry, but that's crap. Barnes drops a 20 yard gain. Dillon misses a wide open receiver. This is a lot more about players than play calls.

 

[Raysor]

And our tackling on defense is deplorable.

 

[Raysor]

On our first drive of the second half, Gray got gassed kinda early. He goes out after three carries, maybe four. Then the pass play called for him goes to Barnes ho drops it. Then when he comes back in on 4th down, it allowed Tech to substitute slowly. It wrecked the advantage.

Little things are killing us.

 

[Raysor]

Unfortunately, our offense can only score on these long drives. So our defense gets a four play rest. I don't know if we can stop them. Bowman looks like he's running with cement in his shoes on their perimeter outside zone handoffs.
