Hot Links: Sooners getting back on track?

What’s good? Completely happy belated Halloween, hope it was further spooky for everybody. (And if you’re questioning, my favourite candies are Reese’s Items and Candy Tart Ropes).

Admit it, did you flip this tune on very first thing Sunday morning?

I wish to admit that I don’t suppose that “all the pieces is alright” — context issues. Nonetheless, Oklahoma had its greatest defensive efficiency in months. Eric Grey continued his sizzling streak on working over (or round) defenses. Quite a bit to love, and if this group received to play Hunter Dekkers each week, I believe that the Sooners is likely to be one of the best protection within the Large 12. There lays the context…

So, what to take or make of it? Give Oklahoma credit score for doing precisely what they have been purported to do. That’s one thing that this group hasn’t completed since Nebraska. Nonetheless, we do have to admit that they didn’t take some enormous “leap” ahead. All is honest. I hope you learn this as it’s. Not a unfavourable. Not a constructive. A story punt.

OU Hyperlinks:

• Oklahoma’s offense wasn’t distinctive on Saturday. Frankly, with how good Iowa State’s protection is, that probably wasn’t within the playing cards. However, was the dearth of game-changing performs a warning signal or signal of energy? Chapman lays out the case for the positive angle on it here.
• Danny Stutsman has had a curler coaster of a 12 months to say the least. Saturday he received the hero’s redemption arc that he wished. Stutsman’s interception sealed one of the best defensive outing for this group in a month, in addition to a win. Clearly these pictures captured have been wonderful.

• Jalil Farroq is rising up earlier than our eyes. I’ve a six-month outdated at house and I don’t know if he has developed as a lot as Farooq has this season. Keep in mind in week 1 when he didn’t have a catch? My have the occasions modified. Additionally, nice level out right here on Anton Harrison, who has lived as much as the NFL billing this season.

• This was clearly the play (and name) of the sport on Saturday. I’ll admit that on my assessment of the principles.. I believe this was unlawful. It seems to be prefer it may need been a ahead cross, and you may’t throw a ahead cross from this “kneeled” place. All of your favourite pretend discipline targets of yesteryear? Laterals. Nonetheless, nonetheless a gutsy name and a enjoyable play.

• Schmit will get the sport ball, however Michael Turk will get the reward. Oklahoma’s kickers have been wonderful on Saturday and is likely to be the one motive this group was capable of pull off the win. John Hoover (or Hoovs as I lovingly name him) explains.
• This sights and sounds movies my buddy Eddie places collectively positive have a unique tone after wins. How significantly better are these sights and the way significantly better are these sounds?
• Bob Przyblo breaks down the Sooners’ win intimately. What can we take a look at? What storylines emerge?
• Sooner’s protection for me goes to be the #1 subject this week. How a lot of what we noticed Saturday was development and the way a lot was opponent? And the way a lot does that matter if it offers this group what its been missing in confidence?
• Coloration commentator and former Sooner legend hopped on my favourite sports activities radio station (please give me a elevate) in the present day to speak concerning the win. Teddy does an important job of setting the desk of how a lot issues from what we are saying on Saturday morning.

• THE 11AM IS BEHIND US…. till subsequent week. OU performs West Virginia at 11 a.m. CT in Morgantown. Contemplating the placement, I don’t suppose too many OU followers are upset.

• Eli Lederman talked a little about momentum. As some mediocre radio host all the time says, it’s a hell of a drug.
• Michelle Pak rocking the sport winner. OU Soccer must be in your radar sooner fairly than later. Don’t be the final one on the bus.

Anything occurring?

• Lane Kiffin continues to personal social media. Not the SEC. Not faculty soccer. He’s to the little hen app to what Jimbo Fisher is to recruiting (Sure, that’s an insult to each). I do, nonetheless, need to admit this received a fairly good chuckle out of me dwell.

• Finest former Sooner within the NFL? Its Hurts. Don’t deceive your self. Take a look at this dime and catch yesterday to AJ Brown. Did anybody see any such play coming from Hurts when he was in Norman? His group in 7-0 on a ten recreation common season win streak. He has 2 turnovers this 12 months and one was dropped cross that the offensive participant tipped within the air. He’s taking part in almost flawless.

Discuss to you knuckleheads on Friday.
