Oklahoma will play Alabama in Round 1 of the CFP in Norman.
Exactly what we wanted. Here we go.
Ty Simpson going to be running for his life 2.0.
It’s playoff time in Oklahoma. #OUDNA
After sleeping on it, here are my takeaways from #Oklahoma’s win over Mizzou:
- Even with players injured, the defensive depth is insane. There’s virtually 0 falloff between the 1st and 2nd unit.
- OU may have the best special teams and defense in the country. B2B blocked kicks is unheard of.
- I’m so damn happy for JV Gibson… that dude has shown an immense amount of heart to be able to get his first TD of the season.
- Sategna finally got to show off his breakaway speed. That dude is FAST.
- I believe Arbuckle called a solid game. I also believe he made calls to protect X Rob. Knowing this now, it’s admirable. The RB room is concerning… but that’s for another post.
- MANY MEN!!!! Incredible song choice for the 4th QTR.
- Mateer is feast or famine. We rise as he rises. I believe he plays with heart… but his decision making has to improve for this team.
- Miguel Chavis and Todd Bates simply cannot receive enough love for their work during the rebuild. They’ve built the best D-Line in the country.
- Wein, Stone, Heinecke, & Boganowski have made insane improvements this year. They will be a FORCE next year.
- Brent Venables is HC material. He has built a hard-to-kill culture with a healthy blend of the right type of recruiting. BV & staff once again deserve their flowers.
