Yup run blitzed 3 straight plays. We're going to have to throw the ball. Not sure why we're wasting 1st 2nd down trying to run against 8

Reese shouldn't be playing. He's the worst back available in every combination of healthy backs.

Without him, we are probably winless this year or look much closer to a Steele team with lots of blowout losses.
Pretty much. We would have been stuck with Finn for the year. But we did win one with Finn... guessing Tarleton and Air Force would have been our two wins. We would have lost to Utah, Colorado, BYU, Iowa State and probably Tech
Yeah, I guess we could have overcome AF and Tarleton by just having more talent.

We'd have more losses and those losses would look at lot worse, too.

It looks like our defense is trying to catch up with the Pokes when it comes to penalties

There was nothing any back was doing on those 2 runs. Helen Keller saw the run blitz. Both should have been audibles

This feels like a game that will eventually go to OT.

Feels like a game that once/if OSU gets the lead it's game set match.

I disagree. This team has talent.

The team has talent, but you cannot win if you cannot score.

If you are suggesting we would have 3 wins with Finn as the starter, you are either drunk or high, or both.
I'm just not sure why we're taking Sawyer off the roster in the first place in this scenario.
I was thinking about his injury exit in the first half and how this season would look if we didn't have him.

Feels like a game that could extend our home conference losing streak. I hope I'm wrong.

That's what I'm talking about. Bowman just retreats, retreats, retreats under pressure.

Yep....this feel very precarious. I keep waiting for a bad thing to happen.

I have seen too many losses the last two years I guess.

That was a good call there. They just beat our defense.

Yeah, we would maybe have one less win than we do now. Sawyer is the better quarterback. I'm not sure much can be said beyond that, and I'm certainly not going to pencil in any wins moving forward

I'm sitting directly behind that okay with Reese nowhere to go. Horrid play call.

3-10. And they convert again. I despise Aranda.

Great call by Ok State. Aranda's defensive mind outfoxed again.

Look at the positive. When or if we lose we're one day closer to that loser being fired

3rd and 10 and they easily pick up first down. That hurts.

That happens sometimes, especially against offensive coaches as accomplished as Gundy is. Dave has called a good second half IMO.

Our offense has been way more frustrating than our defense since halftime.

The offensive play calling by Spav is going to lose this game for the Bears. Defense is having to stay on the field way too long.

We're getting some help from their penalties, but the defense is completing today. I'm proud of the effort.

I didn't see an open WR downfield, did you?

He slowly drifted to the sideline, away from pressure and eventually threw it away.

Maybe it would have been better for him to take the sack.

That should have been a pick. That was the Alan Bowman special.

On that 3rd and 25 I really felt a penalty coming from Baylor deep in my bones. Glad I was wrong.

Nice stand D.

Well there you go. He stayed in the pocket that time and took the sack.

I guess that's better than "panicking" and throwing it out of bounds.

He goes way too far back and kills the play from the jump. That's the point. He never stands in the pocket and delivers a throw in those situations. He immediately either rolls way back and throws it away or forces it into coverage off his back foot.

He's a terrible quarterback, and his pocket presence -- or lack thereof -- plays a huge role in that.

We saw it today with the grounding penalty early.

I'm not sure why you're so vigorously defending a pocket passer with a career 132.6 passer rating.
