But this is what youngsters don't get.

This is Snyder/Dimel/Miller Part II.   Part I was no different, they pretty much completely meltdown against any well coached defense that has speed and athletes.   

2.2 yards per rush in the Cotton Bowl, 260 yards of Total Offense.

Anemic.

So there is a correlation between what our offense does and how well coached, fast, and talented the defense is?

Honestly, we were in striking distance for a lot of the Arkansas game.  I think the difference between our offense now and some of our best is a deep threat.  Doesn't even have to be a great one (Taco Wallace/James Terry), just able to take advantage of defenses playing up.

That game was such a huge KITN. On a related note though, I never really found out because I was at the game, but did the scuffle between the teams right before the game make the TV broadcast? I thought it looked very elite at the time and it looked like the ABC Skycam or whatever was right above it so I thought that it might look big-timey on TV.

OSU game was a perfect example of what our offense is capable of, if we just get our heads together.

Dax,

Most offenses have difficulties against defenses with superior speed and athletes.  go figure?

Either you are highly skilled in an area that can exploit a defense with superior speed and athleticism or they will own you.  OU and Texas had some holes in their coverage...but only the more skilled passing offenses took advantage (see Tech).

KSU, in particular, had difficulty with the pass rushers for OU.  Their defensive ends ate us alive.  Too slow footed along the offensive line last year and the OU, Texas, and Arkansas games were a good demonstration of that.  Mizzou had much of their way with our offensive line but they had enough holes elsewhere and were not good enough on offense last year to overcome mistakes.

Defensively...if you can't get a pass rush and are not really athletic in the secondary = bad news.

That and OU was awfully focused in that game.  They made some plays offensively they didn't make the remainder of the year.  That and the Texas game were easily their best performances offensively.  They had no rythm and chemistry offensively after Broyles went down.

Post by: Cartierfor3 on May 25, 2012, 10:46:10 AM
We got intimidated.  Also, their defensive line destroyed our O-Line, and our secondary was awful, and our D-Line was worse than the secondary. 
Title: Re: OU Game
Post by: The Manhatter on May 25, 2012, 10:48:41 AM
biggest key for Snyder's offense is to have some mobility along the offensive line.  If he has that then his offenses are extremely difficult to stop the way we utilize our TE as an extra blocker and a QB as an extra runner.

Finney held his own in that OU game but Hanson, Freeze, and Aufner were overmatched.  That is where the battle was won.

We'll field much better athletes at those positions this year...especially if Whitehair slides inside to guard and Foketi mans that RT position.  Foketi and Whitehair are both well above average athletes for BCS conference caliber offensive lineman.  Lucas is a superior athlete over Hanson and is just so damned long.  If he gets beat around the edge his length on a one-step-punch can still knock some swift ends off their path to the backside shoulder of the passer.

Not worried one iota about the offense this year.  It's the defense that is more of a concern.

I agree with him for the most part.  It was the comment that Snyder always has trouble with Oklahoma or something similar.  Well, yes, most offenses do have difficulty with teams that possess superior speed and athleticism on defense.  It's not an enlightenment.

It is sort of like those who rip on Snyder's record vs. top 20 teams.  Well, if you look at it history wise most top 10 programs have average records against top 10 teams.  So, go figure on that one as well.

The only thing I worry about this coming year with the offense is whether the offensive line will be tenacious enough.  Hanson and Aufner, despite their shortcomings as pass blockers, worked their butts off in the run game.  Freeze, while a below average athlete, worked and made few mistakes.  We have better athletes on the offensive line this year but are they really tough guys willing to mix it up in the run game?  There is no doubt we should get better pass protection.  The biggest issue for us last year is that we simply couldn't protect the quarterback. 

To illustrate just how dreadful we were at pass protection we had 200 fewer pass attempts than Iowa State last season but gave up 16 more sacks.  Part of that could be attributed to Klein being one of the few QBs who would eat the ball rather than force things...but very few.  We were horrendous giving the QB any time.  Knock off about 15 sacks in 100 more passing attempts this year and we'll move the ball that much better.

We were in that game up until a few minutes before halftime.  We missed a kick and then CK fumbled the ball deep in our territory.  Without that we go into halftime with the lead (I think?) and probably win.

dax,

sure, it always helps to recruit better.  The problem on the offensive line is that it's typically a unit where you need veteran players.  Two of the starters were Prince commits and awful athletes (Freeze and Aufner).  Hanson had to play because we lost Foketi and Finney was a first year starter.

You can find quality offensive line anywhere.  Oversized and slower TEs, big DEs who may not possess the instincts for defense, etc.  It is one of the hardest positions to recruit as highly rated kids bomb all of the time.  OU's starting left tackle this year was a high school quarterback who went the juco route without a D-1 offer.  He played TE there and moved to DE shortly after he got to OU.

The nice thing about this coming season is that we finally have about 7 or 8 guys that are true BCS caliber offensive lineman that will be available to play.  It's just a better situation with better athletes in 2012.

OU played what was easily their best half of football last year in the second half. We lost momentum going into halftime, came out flat, and played what was easily our worst half of football last year.

The Ark game was just missed opportunities. We were close most of the game, and just couldn't come up with plays to get it done. Their D-line showed how unathletic our O-line was. I think Klein made a few decisions to throw passes when it looked like he could have ran for the first down, namely the 3rd down right before Ark's punt return for a TD.

we have a smaller margin for error against teams like OU.

What killed KSU against Arkansas (other than the OL) was the dropped passes and mistakes.  Penalties yards and a sack-fumble led to their first FG.  The punt return TD doesn't happen often to KSU.  But those dropped passes were killer.

Didn't The Chamber get injured early in the second half?  You got a QB who already can't throw, add in an injury that makes his throwing worse, and a coaching staff who keeps throwing to try and win the game and you get a massacre.  They could have taken the air out of the ball, and I think they should have.  Oh well.

Didn't The Chamber get injured early in the second half?  You got a QB who already can't throw, add in an injury that makes his throwing worse, and a coaching staff who keeps throwing to try and win the game and you get a massacre.  They could have taken the air out of the ball, and I think they should have.  Oh well.

The Chamber was injured since pretty much the second play of the season.  Thats the way he likes it though

10 win season though  :emawkid: sure could get use to those again. And I'll take one embarrassing blowout per season if it means double digit wins.

I don't think there is a clearly defined correlation between losing a game by 88 points and winning 10+ overall. I'm not through all the data yet though.

What happened?  Those bad person OU players purposely stepped on Klein's chest and injured him. 

Refs missed it.  I've never seen such blatant cheating in my life.  Stoops and co. would vacate the win if they had an ounce of moral integrity (they don't).

There is when you factor in whether or not you led at halftime of the blowout and if the team that blew you out lost the week prior. Then it's hella strong. And if you would rather lose games pretty instead of going to Cotton Bowls, the door is right over there and you can kindly get the eff out

We would have kicked their ass by 30 if we would have gotten Gameday, I am sure of it.
