I think what I’ll do this season is to do my OU recaps on Tuesday after theCoach Venables weekly presser.
OU for the first in a awhile will entually once again be a two-dimesional football team. No more of the PAC 12 type of football.
Lincoln taking the USC job is the best thing which could have happened to OU football. It may take two years for it to show versus the likes of Alabama and Georgia, but with Venables and his staff recruting nationally elite defensive talent and then actually coaching them—the potential is in place for OU to once again be a top three or four team if they stick to the plan.
I thought the best thing I heard from Coach Venables this week was that of the OU players who stayed in Norman was the fact they came to him and told him they didn’t know what to look for for or how to adjust from watching the game films.
Think about that.
This was a nice first step. Nothing like the fiasco at home against Tulane or trailing 10-0 at halftime against the feeble Kansas Jayhawks. This was an incremental learning step.
OU actually tackled today at the point of first contact. That’s a big thing. To be able to actually tackle in space and stop the ball at the point of contact.
What a great Labor Day Weekend of college football. Georgi literally dismantled the Oregon Ducks. Men against boys. That’s what Coach Venables wants OU’s defense to look like a year from now with that same kind of depth.
I’m going to go watch Notre Dame to see if they can be remotely competitive against the Buckeyes in Columbus.
Have a nice week-end.
Texas plays Alabama next week. The weak at heart shouldn’t watch that massacre. I’ll savor every minute as I hate the Longhorns with a passion.
Lombardi once said, ‘Basketball is a contact sport, same with dancing… football is a human collision sport.’
ROLL TIDE.
