@@conservachick100We no longer consider kickoff return touchdowns as luck. We take pride in our special teams... "Kansas State leads the Football Bowl Subdivision with 52 combined punt-return touchdowns and kickoff-return touchdowns since 2005, which is 21 more than any other team in the nation over the past 14 years. Alabama has 31 combined punt-return and kick0ff-return touchdowns since 2005 while Oregon has 30. Oklahoma State and USC have 29 apiece." And since this article was written in May of 2020, you need to add Rk Player TD Year School 1 Phillip Brooks 2 2020 Kansas State Punt Returns and Rk Player TD Year School 1 Malik Knowles 2 2021 Kansas State So, its 56 touchdowns
Was really glad to see the RB’s/run game show some improvement. People like to beat up on rattler when the offense is sluggish (perhaps rightfully so) but it’s hard to throw the ball if defenses know that’s all you can do
Except for allowing KSU's O to stay on the field for 20 minutes of the 1st half allowing them to run 2X ours. #4 can't tackle a girl. Defense needs to pick it up too.
Defense usually does a good job of this, this year, but in this game they needed to get us the ball back sooner. (Not to mention 3 dropped interceptions) We allowed k-state to drive the ball for 7+ minute possessions. Our offense looked much better but still can do a better job of finishing out drives. We had 3 opportunities at TD’s, but because of stupid mistakes we had to settle for field goals. If we can get those issues under control for Texas, we’ll have no trouble beating them, it’s just a matter of if we make the needed improvements in time.
If the two picks that were easy gimmes were caught and Tyrese Robinson didn't have so many penalties, this game would have been a blowout. I find myself feeling better about the team after an ugly game once again (same as West Virginia) since the problems are so simple. No serious issues schematically or talent-wise. Pretty confident the coaching staff will have things ironed out for Texas.
It was good to see Riley utilizing Hall and Mimms. Both RB’s had good games, and Rattler looked better than he has, this yr up to date. OU is right there. A missed block here, and a missed tackle there, are what’s keeping them from being the team everyone predicted. Riley’s teams always seem to get better as the season goes along. That’s what coaches want, playing your best ball at the end of the year.
Couple of caught ints by the defense, special teams doesn’t give up that touch down and the score could have easily been like 47-14 but it wasn’t and I’m glad so we can fix those issues! Online looked good, running backs looked good and Spencer looked good. Defense had its worse game of the year but still played overall good not the standard we want but we won. We will bring our best to Texas and gonna be the game we need to put it all together to make our natty run! Have faith and pride Sooner fans!
It's time except the fact that OU is not a National Championship Contender. The inexperience of the O-Line and lack of depth at RB really killed them this season. Rattler is good, but I have the feeling his real gains would be in a possible Junior and Senior seasons. Which of course will never happen. But I do think OU can make the playoffs. But OU isn't beating either Georgia or Bamma. But I do think it's better to loose in the playoffs than win a pointless Sugar Bowl or whatever else Bowl game.
I disagree. The team has yet to put forth their complete performance. As long as they get to their potential, they'll compete with Bama and Georgia. They need to improve fast I agree. Especially for Texas. I think we have some garbage teams after Texas so we got more time to fix things in preparation for a tough November (Baylor, Iowa state and OSU). Just gotta get by Texas right now.
This team has a much higher ceiling than Riley's past teams. If the team is healthy (we're really missing DTY, W. Washington, J. Redmond and T. Wease) at the end of the season we'll be competitive.
