Month: October 2022

If Heisman ballots were going out this week…my ballot to go to New York woud be 1 Caleb Williams, USC 2 CJ Stroud, Ohio State, 3 Bryce Williams, and 4 Spencer Sanders, O-State.

His team is 4-0 primarily because of him is ranked No. 7 nationally. He is the best ball player on Mike Gundy’s team and he is their best running back as well even though he plays the quarterback position.

Mike Gundy seem to have finally figured it out….his best ball carrier (Spencer) needs at a minimum 15 rushing attepts every game. With Jaylen Warren now playing for the Pittsbursg Steelers….Spencer Sanders has to be the man within reason. I would think anything over twenty rushes a game might be a bit much.

It’s early in the fourth tier Big 12, but with O State’s 36-25 win at Waco the Cowboys appear to be the team to beat in the fourth of fifth tier Big 12 for one simple reason…that being, Spencer Sanders is the best ball player in the league.

O State’s defense defense was as horrfiic as OU’s in their season opener versus, Central Michigan, but from that point forward the Cowboys have improved incrementally every week.

In the defenseless, baffy Big 12 if you can hold a team to 25 points a game and have Spencer Sanders with his talented quartet of receivers…I would think the Pokes have a very solid chance of advancing to the Big 12 Chanpionship Game.

In my lifetime….in 1976 Terry Miller finished second in the Heisman voting and in 1988, of course Barry Sanders won the Heisman. I don’t think with a glamour QB like Caleb in Los Angeles that Spencer Sanders can win the Heisman, but I think for certain he should have a chance of getting to New York.

Hope he makes it.

Go for it kid, I’m playing Gloria for both you and General Booty this Saturday. I like your chances just a bit better.

Wht not? If you’re going down to Dallas with that defense….at least have some fun with this. The kid from Pitt is too slow. He’ll get sacked ten times.

Turn General Booty loose. Who knows….maybe something biblical could happen like it did with the 2019 St. Louis Blues. Maybe OU could land a couple of haymakers like Leon Sphinx did with Ali.’

I mean….give us OU fans some entertainment.

What do you have to lose?

Josh Heupel was a juco and he won a natty at OU. Cam Newton did the same thing at Auburn. It’s too late to win big with General booty with this defense, but why not give it a roll?

What could it hurt?

From worst to first…there’s precendent as far as the Big 12 because there’s not really a great team out of the group. You gotta fight thru this though. You can’t just lay there like a lazy dog feeling sorry for yourself.

I mean…a week ago today everyone was ready to annoint Baylor as the de facto Big 12 champ.

Not much to write really. TCU just literally executed OU’s chances of turning their season around as far as contending for another Big 12 title. If OU isn’t careful they might even struggle to become bowl eligible if Gabriel Dillion misses very much time from that dirty hit he took in the second quarter against the Horned Frogs.

OU’s defense was once non-existent as they gave up over 600 yards and 55 points.

I thounght a couple of guys looked okay on offense….freshman running back Javontae Barnes, tight end Braden Willis, and WR Jalil Farooq. Kicker and punter were fine.

The young man from Pitt is not anything but an emergency backup. His mobility is an issue.

I think it will be very interesting this week to see if juco transfer sophmore General Booty sees action if Dillion Gabriel stays in concussion protocol.

If you’re going to get your ass kicked in the Red River Rivalry, then it might as well be with your second best quarterback option on the field.
