Just maybe, possibly, one can hope … at least part of what Oklahoma managed defensively against Temple Friday night atop Owen Field can translate into Southeastern Conference play three weeks from today when Tennessee visits Norman and thereafter, too.
Really disappointed in the play-calling and offense overall. The O-line was even worse than predicted, thus no run game. Not allowing Arnold to throw the ball downfield just harkened back to lebby. I guess the defense was OK against a terrible Temple offense. Just watched the Georgia-Clemson game and the way the Dawg's RBs hit the line at full blast is a far cry from what we saw out of the Sooners backs. I did like the fact that there are 4-5 RBs who all seem capable of being coached up, but that O-line remains the big question. I also liked Michael Hawkins' time on the field. He looked very good. BV better consider kicking the offense/play calling into second gear. An offense led by a (supposedly) premier passer should be allowed to throw downfield more aggressively, like Ewers did today for Texas. He looked exceptional.
