Arch has some amazing skills but definitely needs some time to bake.

He needs to learn to take the intermediate and shorter passes that will move the chains.

I was hoping someone would catch the SMB reference. Back in those days there were old church ladies who feared that this song would lead us impressionable teens to rob gas stations. And of course they totally freaked out over the Eagles’ Hotel California.

Did they even understand what Hotel California even meant? Would they have even listened to it when Lawrence Welk was on the tv?

Damn, I’m dating myself

Defense is ridiculous good.

 

[caryhorn]

Arch didn’t see a wide open receiver in the middle of the field on that long incomplete pass to wingo

 

[Texadelphia]

MVP for ou tonight may be the punter - averaging 51 yards per punt.

You don’t often see a punter in the ice bath…

 

[HornHuskerDad]

No doubt about that one - clearly a safety. Nice swarm of Burnt Orange jerseys!

 

[dukesteer]

Of course, I’m very excited about Arch. But this game reinforces the proficiency and efficiency of Quinn Ewers,

 

[caryhorn]

Lafau (sp) is one of my favorite young players. He has a nose for the ball

 

[rick mueller]

I love the way our guys always toss the ball to the officials. 1st class!

If they had teenage kids or grandkids, they probably heard it on the car radio (or emanating from the kid’s room) but most likely they took the word of some moral guardian know-it-all that it was an allegory for satanic worship, blah blah blah

Good to finally see Arch throw the slant. Hit his receiver in stride!

This. It’s happened a couple of times. He probably could have run for a first down as well but he may be encouraged to not run in this game. In any event it feels like he chooses the deep ball when in doubt. Ewers seemed to do this as well his first year as a starter, throwing to Worthy when in doubt.

This is where Ewers thrives…and it’s damn near impossible to defend with the receivers we put out there. Manning will pick this up, too, but it appears that this is very much a learned skill, timing, feel to it that takes reps to get it down to the level that Ewers does it - and he picks you apart like a surgeon.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Blue for the TD!

Like I said when he signed - hits harder than a lava flow and moves as fast as a hula girl hips!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Nice open-field tackle to stop the receiver short of the 1st down.

 

[Walking Boss]

We have quality depth at just about every position, which is extremely important in this day and age. We rotate consistently everywhere but the o-line.

He looks for his fav target - Wingo.

 

[Walking Boss]

Need another td to cover. Just saying

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Okay, Trey - get some game experience. And a TD drive would be a good way to cap it off.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Meanwhile in Norman - ou puts together a drive. Now 22-9. Halfway through 4th quarter.

 

[cnb]

Niblett for the td

 

[theiioftx]

That’s f’ing good football.

 

[Golgo451]

aggy 22.5 point favorite over BG.
Final: sheep fornicators 26 BG 20
Missed FG and two other failures in the red zone would have have had BMDs ruining their undies

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Nice run for the TD, Nibblet! A converted RB at that.

 

[cnb]

Niblett for the td

Oops

 

[caryhorn]

I love to see the way the team celebrated with Niblet after the score.

 

[HornHuskerDad]

2nd chance and he takes advantage of it!

 

[Texadelphia]

Very cool to get Niblett his TD

 

[mchammer]

52-10 was my prediction. Need a time consuming warhawks TD against the 3rd team defense.
