I think he actually made the right call abandoning the run. We had 67 yards and averaged less than 2 ypc. And that’s with a 44 yard run from Cobb.

I actually hate that he leaned on the run so much the last drive. I get trying to steal some yards when they’re expecting pass but it still wasn’t there.

We fail again to capitalize when we have a chance to have momentum. So many times the past few years we can’t step up when we have an opportunity to right to program. It is really sad.



We couldn't beat the officials today. Nothing more or less. That was as one sided called a game as you will ever see.

Did he? History shows we lost. And had 10 damn sacks.

I disagree.

I watched Cobb have a huge gain and Hugh follow it up with 3 straight passes and don't remember seeing him again

Not disagreeing, just saying we’ve had a couple of opportunities the last couple of years to finally get back over the hump and no matter what, we can’t find a way to do it.

Our RBs had 13 carries. He never gave it a chance to even abandon it.

They averaged 6.6 YPC

Yet we still had the lead with 8 minutes to go. And still lost in embarrassing fashion. This program is so broken. I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel either.

I saw Arnold hold the ball way too long and take unnecessary sacks

I saw terrible play calls at times

I saw Arnold overthrow two TDs

Some of the "holding the ball too long" is because routes taking time to develop
Do we have a WR that runs a forty slower than 4.6? Are you saying the the 4+seconds that Arnold held the ball, was because the play called was for a 50 yard route?

How many passes did we throw to a RB today? RPO?

The problem is we weren't running the ball in the first half. He was forcing Jackson to throw praying something would click.

To be fair, the passes should have been a TD, folllwed by a 8ish yard play. Very good play calls that Jackson just fricked up.

The refs sucked, but Okie racked up the flags too.

Our offensive line sucks, our playcalling sucks and we have a QB who is always looking to run first.

We're going to struggle against good defenses. UGA will eat our lunch. Not really sure with the rest, but we'll find out. I think we're improved year-to-year, but not enough.

This aint my first rodeo. Since Sean White has been on the plains Ive seen QBs looks like sitting ducks out there.

I’m not a blame the refs guy, but today was a 14 point swing because of them

Other than that, the OL looked awful. I think OU’s DL could be the best we play… but yikes

Hope you all remember these takes when he throws a pick. This board will go nuclear even thought that’s what they are asking for now

He obviously thinks that he is the second coming of Johnny Manziel.

The real question that should be asked is, why did Venables bench him last year? Is he uncoachalbe?

Atrocious special teams once again. Catching a punt over the shoulder inside the 5, bad snap, missed FG badly, penalties on kick returns.

We used to be so good at special teams. So frustrating.
