Big Game Bob definitely benefited from those John Blake recruits
Less than a third of the starters were Blake guys.
Careful. What are trends vs what are totals? Penalty-ridden certainly applies to some former games, however, I believe the O had but one this last game.
That was year 2 brotha!
That’s 7. That’s quite a bit. There were a lot of Blake recruits who contributed. That said, back then, OU wasn’t reeling in top 10 classes either.
They’ve sniffed a few since then. 2003, 2004, 2008, 2016, 2017, 2018. They’ve been close. I’m sure I missed a year or two as well.
He really wasn’t. He had some pieces, and he went out and got everything he was missing, then, they had to put it all together. Stoops wasn’t handed a roster full of all Americans. Not even close. They had some talent, of course, and Stoops pulled other talent out of dudes who were beaten down by all the losing, like Nebraska is dealing with now. The coaching is what made that 2000 OU team. Everything came together for them, and they had great QB play on top of that. Still pissed NU lost in the snow in Manhattan, because that 2000 Nebraska team was no joke. I think that Nebraska team beats OU in Kansas City, had a rematch happened.
That’s pretty much zero to one hundred
What flaws?
They were blown out on a lot of those.
About like where NU was, truth be told.
But they were still there. You said sniff. They sniffed, if nothing else. You gotta be in the dance to win. They’ve been in it. I’m not defending OU, it’s just the truth.
The luxury of not having a conference championship made them grease their way in—and then got embarrassed. I love watching them lose. So yes they sniffed by backing in. That included the playoffs too.
We have to start somewhere, I guess some fans don't want, understand or are motivationally driven to be opposite of any form of better.
