bradford and sophmore slump

texas WILL NOT be able to pressure bradford with their front four alone. If they do then utep and snellys team have the best olines in the country.
And seriously , do you really think your secondary will be better THIS YEAR, then last. Wait until those freshman safeties face ou,mizzou, and tech, and then we will see.
I expect your dcord to send all kinds of new blitzs at ou, he knows if bradford has all day , it will be like 7 on 7 drills.
 
Bradford is operating behind the best OL in the country. A unit that took a lot of lumps together and has been together for 2-3 years.

It will be interesting to see what he looks like next year when OU has to replace Gresham, Iglesias, maybe Murray and their entire starting OL.

Daniel is probably the best QB in the Big 12.
 
This year's game is pretty tough to pick a likely winner at this point for all the reasons posted (well the logical ones anyway).

I do think one team is going to run away with. I just don't know which one. Neither team has been challenged much to this point.

But one team will figure out the other team's D, which both have some glaring weaknesses, and exploit the heck out of it.

I really like Sam Bradford against the Texas secondary a lot at this point. But on the other side of this coin I think McCoy is likely to have a decent day as well.

A few more games will tell us more but like most RRSO you never know what will happen until it does. It looks like it is shaping up to one the best games this decade.
 
Well I am glad to see we are all on top of the analysis for RRS nice and early, so let the madness continue.

OU analysis:
Defense - Pretty good, veteran secondary with some young talent to back them up. Linebackers and D-line. Spotty, they have great talent but not a lot of depth. Overall, this is a good defense that has no glaring weaknesses. They are not as deep as some but they probably can contain UT to 35 or less.

Offense - Damn good. The o-line is NFL caliber. The tandem at RB are very damn good also. Bradford is a poised pocket passer, but is not know as a scrambler and has tossed a couple of picks under pressure. In WR there is good talent, but not as scary as the last few years.

UT analysis:
Defense - Everybody knows the name of the game here. Secondary is talented, but almost all rookies. So for us secondary is a big ???? Are they talented enough to get a pick against Bradford and hold down some pretty large receivers? We will know more after Colorado and Arky. D-line and linebackers, damn good. Our front 7 will be a veteran well oiled machine by the time RRS is here.

Offense - Not as potent as OU but good. Our QB is awsome and he is behind an o-line that should be top notch by RRS. Run game, not really impressive, but good enough and diverse enough to hold their own (my guess is RBs get about 80 yards in RRS combined). WRs, are talented and deep as all get out.

Put all of that together and what do you have? You have a great OU offense against (IMHO) a great UT front 7 and pretty good backfield. On the other side you have a very good UT offense and a good OU defense, that is not very deep. What does that make for...a damn good game. Special teams will obviously be very important, as will field position, and turnovers. All of this favors OU, but only slightly. To win Texas will have to force at least two turnovers and play above their level of experience. I look forward to the game and to the thrashing of this post. Good day.

As of 9-14...we lose to OU by 3 tds. Good thing we don't play them for another month, but we have a TON of work to do.

I have faith in Muschamp, but I don't think we have enough horses on offense to score enough and we are just too weak up the middle on D. It will be a rivalry game, but boy do Orakpo and Melton need to have their best football game in their career on 10-11 for us to have a chance.
 
Colt's sophomore slump was mainly the line losing tons of players to graduation and injury.

That of course was not the case for Bradford. Both are very good QBs who will pick you apart if given time. Colt is better at scrambling and making plays, while Bradford is better at throwing the deep ball.
 
it is simple. colt had returning starters and a good o line his frosh year. sophomore, not so much. bradford has his best line yet, but those guys are gone next year. so the slump, if there is one, will be next year as he runs for his life like colt did last year.

i'm sorry, but i thought this was common knowledge to the posters here.
 
texas has ONE player one their offense that would start for ou, quan , thats it.
bradford, gresham, iggy, broyles, murray, and alll five olineman are better then what texas has.
On defense english, mcoy, and probably granger would start on the line. At lber, lewis would start , and in the secondary harris and holmes would but start for sure , and probably franks at a corner.
Ou is more talented on both sides of the ball then texas this year.
 
Not only a troll but one that keeps coming back. That's what you get when you finally get DSL in the mobile home.

Try some rational discussion and you'll get some rational answers, otherwise, just go away.
 
Unfortunately, I must agree w/ many of the unwashed, trailer-living, sister-*******; unless our secondary improves immensely, Texas doesn't have much of a chance to stop OU's offense.

This year, I'm afraid OU has a good chance to mudhole Texas, next year, I think it's the other way around.

Of course, Texas/OU is usually good for a surprise or two. I'll be there...just in case.
 
After watching Kansas,Mizzou,Tx.Tech and BlowU.... this weekend and their offenses... man if our secondary doesn't grow up in a hurry...

While certainly possible, one thing to remember is those backups have already saw significant playing time this year due to blowouts. Plus, OL line coach James Patton likes to rotate players in anyway during a game. They only one that doesn't get rotated in forisn the center Jon Cooper.

Of course we won't know how they will perform as an overall unit, but nobody will be stepping on the field without already having a bunch of game experience.
