WYHusk Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 OU left 3 TDs on the field, at least. Another damn fine defensive effort ruined. Let's see now. Last year we had no offense for 4 quarters of the Big 12 CCG. This year we had no offense for 2 quarters. So next year we can ... oh wait. We face a Murderer's Row of a schedule next year. Awesome. Buckle up, everyone. It's going to be a painful few years, I'm afraid. Nebraska is not back. Will we be anytime soon? I've got my doubts. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 You are correct but...the defense put us in a great position to squeake out a victory. Our offensive play calling stunk up the join. You are also correct about more painful years to come. We are heading into a strong conference and unless we get rid of our current OC, we are going to be sub par at best! Quote Link to comment

Watson did not call a good game. We had 3rd and 8 if I remember correctly at OU's 38(?) and he decides to pull Rex out of the wildcat and put Martinez in the shotgun and he ends up getting sacked, putting us out of fg range. Once we get going, he goes to something else. What's the deal? Quote Link to comment

Blackshirtsguru Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 What REALLY PISSES ME OFF, is that Watson didn't take ANY shots down the field. Hell, throw it down field to atleast keep some of their secondary honest. The guy is friggen clueless! Quote Link to comment
Malth Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 This goes WAY beyond watson. Not saying Watson is innocent, but we choked on almost every level on offense. Quote Link to comment

But yes, I wish we'd throw it deep once in a while to keep the D from sitting on the run the whole game. Quote Link to comment

The one from Burkhead to Taylor that could have had a shot at working. Taylor to McNeil that was caught just out of bounds. There may have been a few more. I don't know there was ever room for a lot of shots downfield. With Paul, maybe. Quote Link to comment

It'sNotAFakeID Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 While I don't see a lot of dark years coming up for us in the Big Ten +2, I think that we have to get rid of Shawn Watson. This play calling stunk up the joint. But there was one key play that had NOTHING to do with the OC that came in the second half and had a major impact on the game. That play, of course, would be Martinez's INT in the end zone. I understand that he was trying to make a play and wanted to be a hero, but you have to know better to force a throw across your body. If he would've taken the sack or thrown it away it would have been 23-16 Nebraska and we wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Quote Link to comment
Ringer02 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 you can't hold a team to 1/16 on 3rd downs and easily accept a loss Quote Link to comment
Morrison Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 We're closer to being "back" than you think. Get the offense turned around (there's talent there, it just needs to be utilized) and we're a top 5 to top 10 team easy. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment
