I was late to it, but I finally get it. If Greg Davis is the AntiChrist, then McWhorter is his willing helper. I've beat up on Tanner and Hall quite a bit, but closely watching the rest of the line tells me it's unfair to pin it on these two journeymen. It takes a special kind of coach with a special kind of plan to neuter young talents like he's been given. Mission accomplished, Greg. “The idea that all of our guys are soft and that we can recruit our way out of the problem is exactly the mentality some of our coaches have.”

The notion that Snow is in there dominating is comical at best if you break down the games. He does when he gets to fire out on someone, but that happens about ten times a game. We're coaching to fail in the running game. The idea that all of our guys are soft and that we can recruit our way out of the problem is exactly the mentality some of our coaches have.

The idea that all of our guys are soft and that we can recruit our way out of the problem is exactly the mentality some of our coaches have.

Is he is the doghouse or are Mack and Greg just completely opposed to anything that looks like it might work? Anyone know why Tre Newton did not see the field?

The entire second unit is out performing the first team. If he is “not happy” how about sitting 2-3 of those guys against OU and play someone else?" I wonder what it takes to lose one's job as an offensive coach when we turn this crap out year after year. I think Mack/Greg/Mac still apply the "spilled blood" criteria for awarding playing time. Apparently, the obvious improvement on the other side of the ball and the reasons therefore have gone unnoticed. “I wonder what it takes to lose your job on the offensive line.

I never thought I'd see the day were I'd actually say the phrase "Please don't run the ball" I said it Saturday night.

So that's about 10-14 pts less than 35. I see them scoring about 21-24 pts. Bradford was a Heisman for a reason, they'll still get some points off of us. The question then is, can we score 24 or more pts to win??? OU's D appears to be better & our O appears to be worse. However, the middle of the field should still be open.

Focus on UT running game doesn’t produce results against Colorado

Greg Davis has not only proven to be a greater threat to stop our offense than most of our opponents, he has left me speechless.
