Charlie Strong and Texas are okay in my book. I have no beef with them. In fact I'd thank them.
That loss to Texas served as a much needed wake up call to Lincoln Riley and the offensive staff. Prior to the Texas game they were too preoccupied with trying to get the passing game going, trying to be a pass-heavy O like most Air Raid teams. But that simply isn't Oklahoma's strength.
If you go back and look at the stats from the first month of the season Perine and Mixon weren't getting many carries and the offense was kind of sporadic and out of sorts.
But after that loss to Texas I guess Stoops had a come to Jesus meeting with young Riley & co. because they immediately started running the ball more, playing to the strength of the team.
If I had to guess I'd say in games 1-5 the pass-run ratio was 70/30.
In games 6-12 the pass-run ratio was probably 45/55.
