I definitely want this on my blog before the thought process moves to the LSU game.
This kid has fought through more than any first year OU quarterback since maybe Paul Thompson in 2005 when he lost the QB job to Rhett Bomar after a horrible outing versus TCU. Of course…Paul Thompson came back the next year and regained the starting QB job after Bob Stoops booted Bomar from the team.
I’m assuming Brendan Thompson will not be available for LSU…so in essence depending on Dion Burks’ availability—-that means OU’s top six receivers heading into Baton Rouge may not be available.
And yet this kid keeps plugging away. I’ve never seen an OU team decimated at a position like they have this season at the wide receiver position.
My advice for Joe Jon Finley is to turn Jackson loose on the run game just as Lincoln Riley did with Jalen Hurts. Turn him loose in a smart way and get Xavier Robinson a minimum of twenty touches as well. The quarterback flush in my view is a quarterback run play btw. Jackson was awesome on his quarterback flush opportunities versus Alabama.
I am absolutely certain Jackson’s parents are incredibly proud of their son’s resolve and mental tenacity. Bravo.
I’m giving Xavier Robinson a helmet sticker as well. That’s bullshit on my part for not giving X a helmet sticker on Sunday morning. This true freshman from Carl Albert has been amazing. His furure burns bright.
No more thoughts on Alabama.
Beat LSU and finish strong.
