Game Day — Week #7

Should Caleb Williams start today in Norman vs. TCU?

Of course he should given how he performed in the Red River Rivalry. But by the same token the OU fans shouldn’t trash Spencer Rattler in that they may need him again down the road this season. Plus, being human isn’t a bad thing.

Lest we forget the Paul Thompson to Rhett Bomar back to Paul Thompson quarterback journey back in the 2006 season.

Lincoln Riley not only owes Caleb Williams the chance to start, but he owes this to every one of his players and coaches. The fans not as much.

With Caleb in the game the opposing safties have to respect his ability to run the ball. This should give guys like Marvin Mims and others the chance to create some separation on deep patterns. If for no other reason..that reason should be why Caleb is given the start tonight.

The head coach is the guy who brings it all together and makes his team the best they can be. This decison is easy. The one Lincoln Riley made at halftime in Dallas wasn’t as easy.

Spencer Rattler was yanked with OU trailing 35-17 after the bad fumble. From that point forward—OU outscored the Horns 38-13.

Duh.

I don’t need Woodward and Bertstein from the OU Daily counting snaps for me especially since Lincoln Riley gave Spencer Rattler off on Monday.

I’m still exhausetd from last week’s game. I hope OU’s players aren’t feeling a Texas hangover because I am. That second half half took ssomething out of me.

On my picks today…I’m taking Georgia over Kentucky and and giving the points and then taking Arkansas at home versus Auburn. Talk about two teams who shoud be exhausted and on the ropes…it’s these two teaams in a great SEC battle on the beautiful campus in Fayetville. Walk that campus sometime in autumn and you’ll fall in love with the place.

As far as O State vs. Texas…I like Texas outright, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable giving the 5.5. This is a huge game for Mike Gundy…probably the biggest game for O State since the passing of Boone Pickens. You would think the winner of this game would be the frontrunner to make the Big 12 Championship Game along with OU.

It’s a huge game for Sark as well since Tom Herman won this game last season in Stillwater…. 41-34.

I think Iowa State at K State and BYU at Baylor are interesting Big 12 games as well. A good Saturday to watch Big 12 football.

BOOMER and GO KiKe HERNANDEZ!
