The projected RB starter for OU we suspended for the entire year. The running game appears to be deep now with Perine and Ross. I wonder what it would have been without the suspension.
Best in 'Merica would be my guess.
You can really see the recommitment to the running game and playing a physical style of football. They talked about it a bit during the game.
They went way overboard with the passing during the Landry Jones era. We had a bunch of OL who were poor run blockers; the RBs were undersized; and we didn't do our defense any favors with the frenetic pace that they played with. If the offense was out of sync, the defense would literally get about 90 seconds of rest before having to run back onto the field.
So I'm glad we've slowed things down and turned our focus on dominating in the trenches again.
There's rumor that Josh Heupel is serious candidate for the SMU job. I hope he takes it.
Heupel has been better this year but the past 3 years he's sucked, IMO.
