THE OFFICIAL SUGAR BOWL GAME THREAD - OU vs. AUBURN

[soonerfastnloud]

The offense needs to get going.

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Ya so far the only offense OU's had is getting the ball in Mixon's hands and let him do what he does best.

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Offensive line is getting worked.

 

[Soonerborn1959]

Is it just me? But does Baker struggle after a layoff and the start of the season?

No your not the only one. Hopefully he gets it together the next 3 quarters

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Helluva call to Mixon! and well executed!

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Hard to believe this is a defensive battle so far.

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

It's the Mixon show!!!!

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

They will be pOUnded by Perine in second half.

 

[Soonerborn1959]

Wow no flag on the cheap shot on the Auburn player against Mixon

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

TD Andrews!!

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Good lord how many touches will #36 for Auburn get tonight....

 

[soonerfastnloud]

How many times will we be confused on defense

 

[fortworth4ou2]

QB pressure is the key in this game for both teams and AU has the best pressure.

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Geez their FG kicker is legit...

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Sitting here watching Mike's defense tonight...why can't he dial-up his defense to be this aggressive all year????

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Just keep feeding Mixon!!!
Auburn keeps feeding #36....OU responds with feeding Mixon!!!

You just don't understand how we play in this league.

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Auburn QB heading to the locker room....

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

TD Mixon!!

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Baker's confidence makes this a different team.

 

[PtLavacaSooner]

Auburn QB heading to the locker room....

Franklin can't pass but averaged 10 YPC...

 

[ESPiam]

Now its run run run by Auburn..dial it up Mike

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

M.S. has a different QB to dial up for now. This will be interesting to see if he can adjust his play calling and get the defense to change gears.

14-13 OU at Half Time

14-13 OU at Half Time

Great first half and hopefully they dont come out struggle ng in the second half like they did vs. Houston this year and Clemson last year.

 

[runningback43]

Overall a good half for the Sooners. Love the effort by the defense in the first half.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

That Caleb Kelly is awesome. Good to see a different player as linebacker.

14-13 OU at Half Time

Load the box. Beg them to throw.

 

[WP76]

Auburn's starting QB has a broken arm.

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Load the box. Beg them to throw.

Exactly this if Franklin goes the rest of the way.

 

[runningback43]

I agree with loading the box. We also need to make sure we stay in our pass rush lanes, and not allow their skirt (QB) to scramble for first downs.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

Think about this. Both Baker & Mixon sat out a year...at the same time. Makes you wonder what they would have made a contribution that year. I do think Mixon would have played. Baker, I'm not so sure.

It's possible it would have prevented a 5-loss season.
Then again, the season OU had led to Heupel being cut loose and Lincoln Riley coming in. OU doesn't lose 5 games that season that maybe doesn't happen. Would you rather have Heupel or Riley right now??

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

I think I've discussed this one enough.
But I'm w/ you. Mixon might have been at least a one game difference.

 

[WhyNotaSooner]

We got a baller in Kelly. He shows up for big games.

 

[BillyRay_rivals31072]

Why would Bob choose to kick that instead of going for it?? No way did Bob have confidence that he would make that FG.....

 

[anon_5z68cgtvj4ggn]

Really disappointed in Siebert. Wasn't he the top rated kicker in the country coming out of high school?

 

[bcsoonerfan]

Pretty disappointed in Bob not going for that on 4th down.

 

[soonerfastnloud]

Get a kicker for next year. Embarrassing

 

[K2C Sooner]

Get a kicker for next year. Embarrassing

We got one coming in in the 2017 class....

 

[Soonerborn1959]

If this game comes down to the kicking game I dont have much confidents in him
