Adams has been excellent at it all year. Is he hurt or was the coaching staff trying to bring something to the kicking game?

What's Ryan Williams yearly salary?

Whatever it is, he is not earning it.

I think they were trying to find ways to get him more touches and it just backfired.

Was there something in OUs offense that made them think we were gonna need more from returns?

I had been thinking we ought to use Williams more like we used to use David Palmer which would get him more involved … now I don’t know.

Coaching staff psyched themselves out because they're obsessed with hunting for big plays with gadgets.

Find a starting OL and starting running backs on our sideline that can play smashmouth.

Ryan Williams is probably the most overrated player on our roster and easily the most overpaid. We could probably get at least one quality OL if not two for what he's allegedly raking in...

I'm not talking about smash mouth...I'm talking about all the goofy arse trick play reverses and screens they do.

We are in agreement. That to me shows that they lack faith in our ability to succeed playing it completely straight. I don’t think DeBoer and Grubb would do it just to be cute, unless they have the IQs of nematodes they have to understand the stakes.

Because he’s physically dominant with a football in his hands!

Must be sarcasm. I wonder if one of the coaches went into the game planning meeting and said hey I've got a great idea. Why don't we put a wide receiver, who has problems holding onto the ball, back returning kicks?! And let's do this for OU instead trying it out next week when it probably won't cost us as bad!!

No shite but if you are asking "Why was RW returning kicks"?

It's because he is explosive with the ball in his hands. This is a dumb frick question. That's it. What other reason would there be?

It's a fricking question that asks why the frick a coaching staff would make this change vs a team that is known for forcing turnovers. Why would you experiment during this fn game? It was a dumb frick coaching decision. And when was the last time Mr fricking explosive was explosive?

They were one of the worst teams in the SEC forcing turnovers. They talked about it the entire broadcast.

With that being said; You can't coach like a scared bitch. You put the ball in your playmaker hands.... point blank.

There are so many other things to bitch about... This isn't one.
