After seeing these 2 teams, I think LSU has the edge and not by a little bit. Joe Burrow was 10 times better than hurts. The LSU defense is also better than than the dick suckers.
LSU or blowu
- Thread starter 2300 Nueces
- Start date
You may be right but defensive stats don’t really fully support your argument. 9 sacks is pretty stout in any game.
What LSU did in DKR was damn impressive. Lucky but impressive. Opioid U wouldn't be able to stay within single digits in Austin. Burrow is better than Jailin, and Orgeron is a hell of a lot smarter than Limp Wrist Lincoln.
But we'd smoke both teams in a rematch. Get healed up, and we'll house the Spooners in Arlington, if they even make it that far. Would love a playoff rematch with LSU.

I agree on your Hurts assessment. But to this eye, every OU defender looked faster than anyone on UT offense. If only the Sooners had Kyler this year ... but they don’t.
Yeah don’t rub it in Diadevic. Every Sooner is beside themselves in the woulda coulda dept from the last couple of years. If only we had a freaking top 75 defense the past couple of years things may have been different LOL-but we didn’t
Can you read? This wasn't about Texas wr's. Don't you have some coeds to scout for future bailor needs?
But, one thing I don't get? You keep losing the Big Bowl game every year and no Nattys? I guess the magic expires when OU hits the Bowl scene...Ya'll probably draw Bama again and get your ass beat like before, if LSU don't take a big chunk your ass first! or you may never seen Bama cause of LSU..
Wanna adopt a lovable cat for you place Bell?

While Herman runs the team into the ground with a faulty system, see q1w2e3's post from Scipio, blow u will fall short again. I don't see how either team runs the table if we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with poor coaching. (Texas mostly). Riley is head and shoulders above his peers offensively in the B12. The recruiting services do a great job in revealing sub standard coaching. They do this by ranking the relative talent and exposing poor coaching when teams with better talent lose to teams with less talent. See last Saturday.
We have one of the best talent bases, if not the best, but imo we need to cull some of the teams competing for talent. A big consolidation in Texas cfb needs to take place. We need to remove bailor, tcu, aggy, cougar high, and any other lower level school diluting talent. Teams like Ohio State, LSU, Alabama, Penn State have no in state competition. We need to remedy the situation.

Herman running the program into the ground? I dont think we've been watching the same program since Mack Browns last year. Texas is back in the running for things other than just hoping we qualify for a bowl.
Yeah, we laid an egg in rrso to an obviously better team. It stings more because it's okiehomo. Our 2 losses were to the currently ranked #2 & #5 teams. We came damn close to winning too. We're a good team but not elite yet.
Imo, Herman has done a helluva job pulling this program back out of the dumpster. We're still ranked #15 with 2 losses. With all our injuries added to this equation, I think the results are pretty remarkable. Yes, there's a LOT that needs improvement and hopefully it gets addressed so we can take that next step towards playoff contention.
We aren't there yet, but we're pretty damn close.
Our defense is last in the b12. We are going to break the records that chuck set for the worst defense ever in the b12. Herman seems to think his "process" is the way to go. Just like that dumb ass Shaka Smart. There is something wrong with all these injuries.... Could it be that physical practices lead to massive numbers of injuries, idk. Something stinks... We will find out soon enough. If we don't cover this week, the wolves will be out.
you do realize that recruiting grades have very little to do with actual football playing ability? you do realize the coaches more or less set the grades? the kids' names get out by word of mouth or (worse) they go to these little camps, and have some measurables, and then their "stars" are given based on which schools are on them. if kid a is 6'3 245 and runs a 4.7 and kid b is 6'3 245 and runs the same 4.7 but kid a is offered by auburn and kid b is offered by marshall, kid a gets the higher grade. that's how it works. if you think johnny scout or jimmy rivals is sitting there watching film on literally 1000s of kids all day, they're not. they're more likely hounding these kids and anybody that knows them on the phone about where they're going because that constitutes a scoop in today's world.
also, to the guy that thinks orgeron is a better coach than riley... c'mon man
Ou vs Lsu would be a good game to watch as both teams have some talented players.OU seem to be more dominate than Lsu playing Texas.Hurt has played LSU before and won plus I think a better runner than Burrows so maybe to slight edge to Ou but I would not bet any money on either team if to meet.Who has the best field goal kickers?
Why? I mean we didn’t go undefeated every year when Mack brought us back. We’re playing a helleva lot better in the 3 seasons Herman has been here so far. We beat Georgia last year. Gave LSU a run beat OU last year got into the B12 Championship. I know we lost to our rival but we’re actually progressing even though most would like to think we’re garbage. Are we competing for NC’s yet no but I believe we will.
And by no means do I think playing close is a moral victory I just mean if we had the same coach we had 4 seasons ago LSU would’ve spanked our ass.
lol...
The "dick suckers"?
We're going to have a little trouble with the mascot if we're switching to that name.
Your hate is so prefect sir, and is therefore something to be admired (in its own way). Truly.

Didn't say they were trash. I am wondering why the staff is so stubborn. They are putting too much on these young guys. Letting them play simple schemes and use their ability should have been policy from day 1.
on day 1, they had 4 different dudes out there. but THOSE young dudes have been replaced by OTHER young dudes. and i think playing a 5 man box is considered doing something to help the current young dudes
Oh I completely agree that something isn't right with our defense. Bad coaching, poor choices by players, over working, undersized kids, freakishly bad luck, who knows but it has to be addressed.
My point is as a program we are leaps and bounds better than the last handful of yrs. We're not on top of the game but we are back in the mix of things while still improving.
FB, you do realize there are now highschoolers playing ball that weren't alive for our last natty right? All they've known is Texas sucking......like 1990s baylor suckage.
We are back, to a good program but not an elite one. I like the progress we've seen from Herman and am optimistic he'll make the hard judgment calls in the right direction to continue moving forward.
Sam did what his generation does, saying things in public or on social media that makes all of us pre-internet folks cringe. They don't care & I've been trying to not care either. Different times my man...
What I find amusing is we always talk about the younger generation wanting immediate results that are good but the reality is we all do. I want an unstoppable Texas team and I want a B12 Championship and NC. I just realize it’s not going to happen immediately. Now speak to me in Hermans 5th year if we’re not competing for an B12 or NC by then we have a problem.
You're dang right, when OU has hit the bowl scene with a crap defense, we've gotten beat. OU still doesn't have a good defense, we have a better defense. We are tackling better and swarming to the ball. Our db's are still small and aren't the best in coverage. Give Grinch another year or so and I think you'll see major improvements imo.
And no, you can keep that cat lol
I haven't looked at the records but I'd challenge your assertion that Texas will break records for worst defense in Big 12, OU's D has been God awful for the last 5 years. Couldn't stop anyone in the redzone, on 3rd down anywhere, on 4th down etc. So I bet Stoops owns a few of those records and injuries do account for drop off in production. We didn't have injuries per se, we have just been bad.
Lighten up Francis. I didn't say anything about "wr's" - looks like you are the one that can't read. I was talking about team speed. If Sam ever escaped the rush - he was bottled up within a couple of steps. How many successful runs/scrambles did he have? Your comment represents a sign of the times - evidently you can't handle a setback and have to resort to name calling.
I really dont know how good lsu is. Most years lsu is going to be 6-0 after playing this schedule.
ga southern, texas, nwstate, vandy, usu and florida. Lsu recruits well enough to beat these with some consistency. I mean they were 7-1 last year before losing to bama. The games vs texas and florida can go either way depending on the year, but just looking at recent history i think lsu would be 6-0 most years with the schedule so far. Now we can make a case for lsu based on how they have won. That's different, all that offense is new to them. but are they really as good as they have been on defense? both vandy and texas scored 38.Florida has an average offense really and they didnt struggle to move the ball against them, but they couldnt keep up. So it seems like they are closer to OU than we may think, great offense but the defense doesnt appear elite this year. Good but not elite.
On the flip side, we have OU and the offense is what it is. As long as they have Riley they will be a force. But defensively, they really held a good texas offense in check. they completely enveloped and dismantled a tech offense who had over 900 yards offense in the following 2 weeks. They are holding teams to a good margin below their averages. Obviously they have to prove they can sustain this, and they'll have good tests vs baylor, tcu and osu ahead of them. If that Ou defense maintains what they've been doing this season so far, this may not even be a discussion in a month. as far as who is better at qb? burrow looks good but dude is a senior and this is the only time he's actually went off. I know Hurts has been showing up for a while now so we know what we can expect. burrow might be better for a big play, but hurts is a model of consistency. I'd like to see if burrow can sustain this level of play for the season, and if he does then yeah sure he could be a better qb. It's not a big deal though, hurts could be the worst qb in the conference, if they keep scoring 50 ppg behind him i'll take whatever that is.

Actually, I am a nice person. I get tired of Sooners injecting their opinions where they are not wanted.
Look, another one injecting his opinion where it's not welcome.
