This defeat is more about a lack of defense than it is an overhyped QBWe have a player on the team that keeps using that word to describe his "journey". I agree that fooling two different blue-blood programs into thinking that you are a quarterback is truly unprecedented.
As is this ***-whipping.

Was thinking earlier that he is probably one of the most overrated qb's in sooner history.

Yet OU wouldn’t have had 11 wins this year without him.Was thinking earlier that he is probably one of the most overrated qb's in sooner history.

Please explain. You're seeing something that I'm not seeing. You've said this several times. How is it that you know that another QB such as Rattler could not have done as well?
67, I'm not saying that anyone could have done better than Hurts. Maturity & experience are extremely important and I'm sure it's why Hurts was given the team.
That has nothing to do with him being overrated. He was a solid qb but was not nearly as good as he was made out to be. He was also the reason we barely won a few games with all his turnovers. He served a purpose and gave rattler some time to sit and watch.Yet OU wouldn’t have had 11 wins this year without him.
You absolutely do not know this to be true.Yet OU wouldn’t have had 11 wins this year without him.
Here's a question: Considering we took a beatdown of epic proportions caused in part by missing a few of our best/better players, as a fan what do you think their status should be entering next year? Are they still in the same depth chart position?

And therein lies the problem. When you have no depth and your starters are just adequate then the next guy is not you cannot discipline properly. Those that put the program in this position should be asked to leave. How can you instill discipline if there is no consequence?Well at this point I'm not sure they have anyone to take their place

Unprecedented.
As in OU making the playoffs 4 times and has ZERO PLAYOFF WINS. 3 of those losses were beatdowns and one where we had a big lead and lost in OT. Yep thats unprecedented alright. No other team can or would want to say that they have done that.
OU does not make the playoffs these four years w/o Riley. He needs better players... period. 5.9 & 6.0 recruits. And that's on him. There is no excuses any longer. Recruiting is the most important part of an rganization. Every HS recruit is a free agent so to speak. Attracting them to your school is extremely important. LR has set the tone for Offensive recruits, he's got to do the same thing for defensive recruits as well.
Now ask yourself this, do you think Baker or Kyler could have won tonight's game with this team?
Of course not, but would Rattler have accounted for 5,149 total yards and 52 touchdowns and been a Heisman finalist ?You absolutely do not know this to be true.
Sure. Last night proved it.Come on now don't you realize our defense was heads and tails better than last year?

There’s 120+ teams around the country that would gladly trade places with us. We have had a chance in the playoffs 4 out of 5 years. I’ll take that any day.
Getting blown out should have been expected. Having an average qb with average passing skills, a depleted defense, and an ejection......we didn’t have a chance.I agree but if OU would have been competitive losing would have been easier to take. Its getting blown out that is the issue.
For the record my comment was sarcasmSure. Last night proved it.
SOONER or later the committee is going to wise up. Just saying.
yep, LR will no longer be afforded a 1 loss team to a KSU or even Baylor if there are other things be loss teams out there. For awhile now going forward, OU have to be undefeated to reach the playoffs unless they are expanded.

I believe that OU would not be....and has not been....on the level of LSU, Ohio State or Clemson even if they had gone undefeated. The Big 12 is not a strong conference and it is one reason why OU is painted into a corner by being a member of the Big 12, even with its recent dominance.WNAS, I don't think OU would have been at the same level as LSU, OSU or Clemson even if we had beaten Kansas State. Last night was eye-opening. To think that four 13-0 teams could have ended up in the playoff and one would be so out of place is really wild.
