**Official OU SUCKS vs Zona game thread**

The bettter team won

Noooooo!!! Where's that thieving spirit?

I'm going to have to disagree with that.

OU was a far superior team. But they had an insurmountable weak link. Their QB. He single handedly gave Zona the game on a silver platter.

I get it-- he's a freshman. But he's got a LONG way to go before he will be considered a serious threat at QB--- especially with the SEC pass rush looming in the horizon.

Correct. Arnold has a great arm but he needs to learn that he can't force throws.

He waits to long to let it go.

Arnold showed flashes of brilliance, mixed in with some poor decisions that aren't totally unexpected from a freshman making his first start. If you want to hang the loss on one player, that would be wide receiver Jalil Farooq. His two fumbles in the red zone (including one that was returned for a touchdown) essentially resulted in a 28-point swing to Arizona.

One of the remarkable things about that game is that OU lost the turnover battle 6-1, yet still had a chance to win the game. Normally, a team would get blown out with that kind of ratio.

Now that's a glass half full.

My prediction - Jackson Arnold will be OU's Garrett Gilbert.

OU fans should be more concerned with the fact they had a back averaging 9 yards a carry and only gave him the ball 14 times. If they are going to try and let Arnold throw the ball 45-50 times a game like they did last night then they’ll be lucky to win 6-7 games next year.

And miss me with the he’s just a freshman excuse. Show me one game where Quinn has turned the ball over 5 times. Give me the QB who holds the ball too long and takes sacks over the guy who consistently throws into double coverage and makes costly mistakes.

I wouldn’t describe it that way, but okay.

westx imo in the second and third quarter he played well. We wrote Oklahoma of this season and we lost. They didn't give up many yards and Arizona ran 88 yards on a fumble return. I'll defend him because of what his ol did before and during the game.

And for once an Oklahoma qb finally got a taste of what it's like to have 5 Derek Kerstetter's blocking for you. Sacks, holding penalties, personal fouls all in one game. Now they know.

Lastly we can't write off Jackson Arnold and Brent Venables this early. Their defense definitely improved this year.

Ous secondary played pretty bad, I underestimated Arizona but I think Arnold started staking a claim last night between interceptions that Arizona qb was good

it looked like Arnold took a liking to former Texas receiver Brennan. I can see many touchdowns coming in the future for those 2. What happened to our receiver Farooq? Talk about disappointing season

All i can say is PLEASE Arnold keep throwing between the numbers lol. Game was moving way to fast for the kid.

He tried to enter the transfer portal, but he fumbled the pen.

That catch was all on the receiver. The freshman didn’t place the ball there on purpose
