uhh is there a reason that the last 4 seconds just decided to run off the clock after a penalty following a play where the receiver went out of bounds? and is there a reason we weren't at the line ready to run a play?
OU WINS!! Theeeeeee Sooners win! Boooooomer!! Soooooner!!! Okay, wtf is going on with the Clutchfans wiki? I leave for an hour and this sh*t happens?!
i was always led to believe that if the clock was running when a play started, and there was a penalty, then it started back up. the play before our receiver went out of bounds, stopping the clock. why should the clock then run after the penalty? if ou didn't take the result of the play (a first down), then why should they get the resulting running clock? that makes no sense. since that play didn't count, it should go back to the stopped clock that existed before the play. how do you say, we didn't like that play, wipe it off the record, but hey, keep the clock rolling like that play did actually happen.
Do they not automatically run off ten seconds after an offensive penalty in NCAA like they do in NFL? That's what I thought happened.
Hey, at least we knew to steal it from something fairly obscure. (Yale) Ya'll jacked an incredibly popular folk song! Now, the fact that we also play a fight song taken from a popular Broadway play...let's ignore that.
not that i know of, but it's certainly possible. and even in the nfl would they do it for holding? i thought the whole point was to keep teams from deliberately taking procedure and false start penalties to stop the clock before everyone actually makes it up to the line of scrimmage properly. once the play starts, holding doesn't benefit you anymore. oh well, it's not like we were gonna pull out a 70 yard hail mary or anything. i just don't see why we couldn't run a play. the game ended up closer than i thought it would and we could've won if jamaal charles wasn't on our team. ou was surprisingly undominant and you could feel it from the first snap. maybe they'll drop at least one more in the big 12 just to make me happy.
i didn't get to see the whole game, but what i saw of it.... chiles was in for 1 snap. how many plays was he actually in on? hopefully more than just the 1 i saw.
I am a SHSU fan. They play in another division making it much easier for me to continue following the Horns. I'm fairly sure that out of 50,000 students, a few don't smoke weed.
Well...we played better than I thought we would. To only lose by 7 and have a fumble at the goal line really hurts. Couple thoughts... 1. Mack needs to consider replacing Charles. I was HUGE fan of this kid but if he can't hold onto the football, someone else will. He has big homerun ability but it doesn't make up for the mistakes he can make at times. I like his shiftiness but he goes down too easily and Murray showed what can come about just by running straight. 2. We will continue to be a mediocre defense as long as we get mediocre (at best) play from our starting LBs. Seniority is crap and its time to put talent on the field. Norton>>>>>>Derry and Kindle has far better talent than Killabrew. Norton, Kindle, Muckelroy ALL need to see significant more time. 3. Sweed maybe the most overrated player in the Big 12. He drops passes and doesn't make the big plays he needs to. He disappears in big games and well he acted like he didn't give a crap this game, no excuse for a Senior.
Props to UT for putting up a good fight despite McCoy being a shadow of what he was last year. At the beginning of the season, who would have thought OU would have a big advantage at QB. OU didn't impress me at all. They should win the rest of their conference games and finish with one loss but they aren't that good. The Big 12 doesn't have a national championship contender this year.
ummm... not sure what game you were watching, but that INT was all on charles... it wasn't a "just out of reach" tip, it was a "right through his hands" tip. great throw? no. easily catchable? hell yes. hate to blame one player for a loss, but charles was almost solely responsible for both TO's.
