This may be the worse 9 win team in OU history. Doesn’t feel like we won that many.
I can't think of an exception, but I think it's mainly due to a patchwork offensive line, a freshman quarterback replacing one who was thought to be a Heisman candidate, poor coverage and tackling and a team that, as a whole, was unfocused and undisciplined....tonight was a graphic example of all of this.
This team was never a playoff team in my opinion.
And this was an ugly game to watch.

Ya OU just isn't as good this year. The entire season has pretty much been teetering on disaster. Caleb Williams has become extremely frustrating to watch.

Officiating was pretty one sided, but whatever. GG little bubba. Too bad that offense isn't going to win **** after the CCG.

And, I bet we beat them by three touchdowns in norman next year. Without the benefit of the zebras helping.

9 point lead, you have a 5 star QB several 5 star WR, a 1000 yr rusher who avg, 7 yards a carry in the first half. You woould think you could at least match the other offense point for point and win, but not in Riley's offense.

Guys, we're fine, and LR is fine.

We're going to a nice bowl, and between now and Jan 1st, the team will get exactly what it needs - a lot of practice.

This is a very talented roster on both sides of the ball. It just needs to be developed, and I think Riley and Grinch will get it done.

That's what happens when you have a true freshman QB making his sixth start.

It's why you don't see a lot of true freshman winning the heisman and stuff. It takes a little while for QBs to develop. Just like Mayfield, and just like Murray, who both were not great as Freshman.

LR is an excellent coach, but he can't go out on the field and execute the plays too. The reason the offense struggled is because CW struggled to execute the offense.

But he will get better. You can see that he has all the talent in the world. I wonder just a little if he has it between the ears, but I think he probably does.

I know it's frustrating to just "go to a nice bowl", but you can't go to the CFB every year (unless your AL).

I agree.....I'm just not calling the Alamo a nice bowl. I like Williams but he does have a lot of improving to do.

I am probably the only poster here that said Rattler was all hype. I still believe that.
Caleb didn't play his last yr in HS and then was thrown to the wolves during the texass game and pulled out the win, he has potential and talent but needs more time before we see what he can really do.
I have also heard Ole Miss might go after Rattler if he enters the TP. Corral at OM will likely leave and opt out of their Bowl Game.
If Riley goes to lsu would he want Rattler to transfer and be his QB?

Riley stated in the post-game that he isn't going to be the next coach at LSU.

I know they always say that. He may be truthful about it I don't know. I remember too many other Coaches have said the same thing when asked that question about leaving a School.
There have been many and being a Dolphin fan I remember Saban saying that when he was HC at Miami, next day he landed in Tuscaloosa and was introduced as the new HC at Bama.

Rattler, will be transferring to ASU! Just a hunch.... he needs to re-invent himself and what better conference that the PAC-12 to do that?
