For all the depth they have on offense and I'm talking about every position, it doesn't matter how good you are the third string qb isn't going to be very good especially when it's a converted receiver. The second stringer Jarrett Stidham was a four star recruit. But he's still a true freshman, six months removed from his senior prom. One of the things about inexperience is that you haven't had a year in the weight room to prepare you for a full season of college fb and I saw that in JS when he got banged up in the Oklahoma game.
Once again their defense couldn't get off the field when it mattered most. How many third down conversions did they give up against the sooners it seemed like a lot. The td that sealed the deal came on third down. But a couple of players besides Andrew Billings showed they can be very good players real soon. Their defense played well the following week against OSU. But once again their defense showed their propensity for stupid penalties in ot against TCU.
And they still have the best offense in college fb. And Art Briles is still the best offensive mind in college fb. And his son is on the way to being one of the best oc's.
And Baylor/Oklahoma could be a nasty rivalry in the making. There was a lot of dirty fb in this game. Actually there has been a lot the last few years. The Tapper body slam, the helmet to helmet shot between Mixon and Sells, causing Mixon to lose his helmet and no penalty being called on either play. The OK player who got kicked out of the game on a pat and then flipping of the Baylor fans as he went to the locker room. Baylor had never beaten OK until 2011. Then RG III had his Heisman winning game. Then Baylor put a beat down on the sooners the last two years including the worst home loss in the Stoops era. Nobody has beaten a Stoops team like that. And this from a team that had never even beaten Oklahoma until recently. Hence all the cheap shots. A Stoops team has never lost three in a row to anybody and physically they saw to it that it wasn't going to happen against Baylor.
Like I said a nasty rivalry is in the making between these two.
