We play UT close most years so that one is possible. I just don't see how we beat OU however. They score too many points and Rhule is not comfortable in a shootout.
Matching the firepower and scoring of OU is hard for any team, but Rhule and Co. seemed alright against KSU, Okie State, Texas Tech, and Vanderbilt and the shoot-outs those games were.
True. But some of those should not have been shootouts. That's one of the reasons for possible doubts about 2019. I still think we can get 9 wins, maybe more. Cautious optimism.
Also very true. The defense is/was a weakness to the overall success of this team. We have absolutely have to make growth in that area to continue with the positive steps this program has taken. I guess my point was, as the season went on and the team got into a shootout, whether it should've happened or not, CMR and the team did what they had to do to win. Yeah, a handful of games got away from them and they couldn't keep up, but as a program that is still rebuilding, that is bound to happen.
