OU survives scare from K-State, wins 42-30

I believe that OU always plays hard and makes football fun. I think that K State was a good opponent and it made for a good game. We, OU fans are so spoiled that we expect them to score every time they have possession of the ball and that just can't happen. As a born and bred New Mexican, I am very proud of Landry Jones and continue to say, BOOMER- SOONER!

Danney, after watching the game back, I would agree with Wilson not being conservative. I retract that previous statement. However, how K-State ends up with a better game plan and RB than OU is beyond me. Xs and Os win BIG games, not Jimmys and Joes. Good thing the Jimmys and Joes are better than K-State's...

Again I ask, where has Dejuan Miller been hiding?

Gary: After OU built up the quick lead people bailed to watch the OSU/Texas game, thinking it would be a better game than it turned out to be. I talked to my parents who were at the game and they said lots of people left at halftime. Dumb bastards, left to watch a blowout and then couldn't get back into Memorial Stadium for the dogfight that ensued in the second half.

Christ I don't know what your bitching about! Wilson wasn't conservative and played to our teams strengths. I don't remember seeing us line up in the I and rushing straight forward but only 1 or 2 times. And as for making adjustments, last week against Kansas only leading 14-6 we came out in the second half for two consecutive scores and a third score in the 4th. I can understand being frustrated with the D, after playing lights out in the 1Q they went downhill. BUt they played well enough to win and I feel pretty confident going into lincoln next week and finishing the rest of the season undefeated.

As with everything in life ,we have our ups and downs,this has not been the season that we all hoped for but it goes as it goes....
Oklahoma University has had so many disapointments this year,starting with the injury of Sam...But let your hearts not be troubled..... Each and every team has their ups and downs....and in the near future we will AGAIN have a Football TEAM that Tops all others !!!! IT WILL HAPPEN !!! It is called OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY KARMA....
JUST HIDE AND WATCH !!!

John, we recruited Thomas, the RB, as a safety. Not Banks.

Apparently our coaches do not put any credence to the notion of halftime adjustments. We have, for the last five or six seasons, failed to make significant adjustments in the locker room. We got out-coached again last night. Fortunately, it came down to Jimmys and Joes and we didn't have to rely on our horrid Xs and Os.

How we let that team score...at all...is beyond me. We should have been up 50-0 at half. I was not impressed with the defensive scheme. When will we EVER stop blitzing EVERY linebacker and leaving the middle completely vacant? Disgusting.

Offensively, Broyles is the real deal. We cannot get conservative...ever...on offense. Keep the throttle down until we are up four to five scores. Anyone see the Oregon/USC game? Oregon was crushing SC and NEVER got conservative. Take notes, Wilson.

Love the dickhead headline. How about "K-State escapes complete humiliation"? I guess it's just a matter of perspective.

Not sure how it could be a sellout with all the empty seats in the endzone...

Bill Snyder is one hellva coach -- as Bob Stoops and Brent Venables both know since they learned how to lead under him. Oklahoma was fortunate. indeed, to hang on and win after building a huge lead early. It's good for the Big 12 to have the Big 12 North become more competitive again.

Wow. Quite a game last night. We can be scary good and stink it up for 15 minutes and then turn it on to win. KSU's O-line gave the defense fits last night. I have not seen our D-Line handled like that all year. Banks is as good as advertised. I think we recruited him as a safety. Great athlete. Secondary played pretty well but with no pressure, coverage will break down and I saw us over-pursue several plays on the edge. Offense played well, Landry is playing so much better...looks more comfortable. Big 12 officials in 4 games I watched are just dreadful. Thought the Pac-10 was officiating! Good win.

Where does the team that plays the first go at half-time. The OU team that comes out of
the locker room for the second half is a different team. This is not a problem that just started,
it's been going on for several season's. Stoops can't seem to get everybody on the same page
for both half's. This season it's been the Second half most of the time, Blown assignments,
penalties start gradually coming back and, according to what we've seen on the field, it's
not repairable.

Once again KSU is on the rise with Coach Snyder.

I'm glad to get that win.

Boomer Sooner.

The defense came out with the right energy, but obviously relaxed after seeing the offense going up and down the field.

Give KSU some credit. Snyder is a great coach, whom obviously knows how to recruit good assistants and players. I wish #8 for KSU had of ended up at OU. While it does not let our defense off the hook (no excuse for letting up), it would be wrong not to give KSU's coaches and players some credit. KSU will likely end up in the Big 12 Championship Game. Texas would be wise not to enter that game with a cocky disposition, as they might just get beat if they do (Ask Jason White and his bunch about such things).

BOOMER SOONER!!! Another win. But hats off to K-State. Bill Snyder is one heck of a coach. Next year lookout for the Cats. Snyder will have that defense back to the level it was before he left. Landy Jones is going to be one heck of a quarterback if our receivers play like they did last night. We still need to clean up that O-line, except for Eldridge. Thank goodness we have Brody Eldridge!!! BOOMER SOONER!!

OU wins as Snyder defeats Venables. Thank goodness the offense gave Brent a big cushion to fall onto.

Looks like we do have some talent at receiver we just didn't know it. Why n the heck hasn't Dejuan Miller gotten more playing time. He's big, he's fast, appears to have decent hands. He exploded on that touchdown run. This looks like the starting receiving corps for the remainder of the year. Tennell, Broyles, Miller. We actually survived that game, when we called a draw on 1st and 45 I just knew we were getting ready to muck it up. Boomer Sooner!

I tip my hat to the cats, they could've easily folded their tent, but hung in and made it one hell of a game. Landry looked outstanding, Broyles is greatness, and Murray is the man. Boomer.

I stand corrected on the 2001 score - should have looked it up instead of relying on my feeble memory (that's what Google is for). And I agee about the lack of discipline and sloppy play at times. It has hurt us before this year - cost us at least two wins.

Actually Kenneth, the 2001 score was 38-37, ending as a K-State Hail Mary pass fell incomplete as time expired. Snyder definitely knows how to work our defense, but that's still no excuse for some of the sloppy play tonight on both sides of the ball. 87 yards in penalties? We are very fortunate to have come out of some of tonight's situations with a first down or a touchdown. Landry is getting better every game, which is good because we go to Lincoln this week...

Snyder is a genius. Props to K-State for playing lights-out and making what appeared to be a blow-out into a game. The old man is a damned good coach.

Snyder's K-State teams then and now have always given even our best defenses fits. He is a very clever offensive mind. In the 2001 game, I believe the score was 38-31 here in Norman and that is considered probably Stoops best defense, at least up to this year, with Tommie Harris, Roy Williams,Derek Strait, Rocky Calmus, Teddy Lehman et al.
I can't remember them ever scoring less than 20+ points on us. Thank goodness they lack athleticism this year on defense. Kudos to the offense,though, for stepping up. Jones' timing with his receivers is getting much better and we are finding people who can play in that position as well. We'll have to be ready to up the level of play on offense even more against a very good Nebrasks defense next week in Lincoln. Boomer Sooner!

Kudos to the offense for stepping up when needed. Converting on a first and 45 after what appeared to be a touchdown and then converting two 2nd and 16's the next drive. Defense is what made this game close, offense is what won it. Broyles is the real deal.

This is the kind of grit missing in those missing 5 points that knocked us out of the top 25.

We're as good as any team in the nation when we execute, and when we find our moxie.

Better late than never, eh?

We could still end up opposite an LSU, USC, Boise, Ohio State or Miami in a bowl. They would each have their own sweetness.
