The gumps are having a hard time coping that they are lucky not to have 3-4 losses instead of 2 right now. Their rushing ypg is ranked around #120 in nation currently. They will eventually get exposed again. Could be in Jordan Hare in 2 weeks.

If we make the SECCG, which is far, far from a foregone conclusion, I sincerely hope we get to play Alabama. They match up very badly with us.

I was at the game and their offense isn't great, their defense can give up a lot of yardage but at the same time their defense is great at creating turnovers. Turnovers can change an entire game. We doubled their offensive yardage, had twice the first downs and won the time of possession, and lost. The turnovers lost the game for us and won it for them. That's football.

Good enough to win back to back games in very tough stadiums. Venables is a great coach

I have been amazed at the melt by quite a lot of Bama fans. Don’t worry you get to beat up on powerhouse E, Illinois next Sat.

Dude stop this shite. We have serious flaws that we’re camouflaged in various ways, primarily by our defense.. We’ve had maybe two wins that were not in doubt til time was up. The rest were struggles.

Never melt on this board. You will always get dragged, as you are now experiencing.

So how bad is Bama then? FSU and now a supposed bad OU team (Your Words).


We are inconsistent rather than being elite. Sometimes the best team doesn't win, that's football.

Doesn't mean I have to be impressed with Oklahoma or Florida St does it?

Do I have to pretend they are great teams? I hope not. It's not like I think Alabama should be #1 or anything. Hell, I think that we are still in playoff contention highlights how stupid the 12 team playoff is.

Alabamas last 4 possessions

Punt (3-and-out)

Fumble (5th play of the "drive")

Punt (3-and-out)

Turnover on Downs

They had plenty of opportunities they have nobody to blame but themselves

No doubt. It was our first game for turnovers really. It’s fixable.

OU’s not fixable

Sure does take a lot of gump tion to come criticize a team that just beat you at you own stadium. Don’t ever change, the laughing is good for us.

Yes we did. You can't play sloppy football like we did and expect to win games. It's our own damn fault.

I thought the score was going to be lower, so it's not surprising we didn't score more points. But we set Oklahoma up for all but 3 of their points and those 3 were setup by special teams.

Too much for almost any football team to overcome against a good opponent.

But I also feel like without our mistakes we would have won. It's just football.

Your kicker is a bad arse.

People often under estimate the value of having an awesome kicker.

That Bama kicker is a f'king douche bag.

Yes, the turnovers absolute killed.

Bama took themselves out, but OK defense is really good.

Tough loss for Bama, but should give them some fire and focus going forward. Sometimes a loss can be used for good....Good luck.

I am also impressed by OK's resiliency this year after the cluster fk they endured last year.

If only OK could have beat TX....

Those weren't "mistakes". Those were turnovers caused by OU's defense. Dropping back into coverage causes an INT. Hitting the QB causes an INT. Punching at the ball as you tackle causes an INT. Those things are coached. If our kicker sucks, then we should have a plan, esp given the history we have with kickers.

OU is a good but flawed team. Bama is a good but flawed team. We don't have a run game and our defense is middling, at best. Neither's flaws can be cleaned up.
