After spotting Oklahoma 28 points in the first 6 minutes of the first quarter, the feelings of optimism were squashed quicker than a bug against the windshield at 75 mph.
The first interception of Ganz by Franks was a telegraph read and set the tone for the next 3 minutes – and two more touchdowns.
I don’t know what positives and negatives one can take away from this game since the early mistakes made a good review difficult to gauge. I do like the fact that they didn’t quit. I don’t like the fact that tackling and creating turnovers aren’t something this team knows how to do. I think this more indicative of the lack of attention the previous regime paid to defensive talent in recruiting than coaching.
Helu, granted against the Sooner second and third teams, continues to look impressive on game day. Although I don’t really understand what Watson is trying to do with the rushing game and the decisions on who gets what carries – because it just doesn’t make sense.
But like I said, as quickly as the game became lopsided, it is tough for me to give an adequate review of this game. What say you guys?
