Last night was great to watch. Obviously, with most teams, if you shoot the ball like we did it is almost impossible to lose. But What I liked most was the ease at which our offense ran. Obviously GM isn't Xavier, but they look every bit as put together as say Clemson, and USC.
It also seemed as though our Effort was better on both sides. More Conviction on drives, Etc.
The freshmen finally played well together and Smith seems to be feeling more comfortable. He can handle the ball and drive well for a guy his size.
My overall view is that the Big 12 is not nearly as Strong at the top as it was last year, but OK State may help balance the middle out.
If we can somehow get even 75% of last night's performance consistently, we can be really really good as the younger guys continue to grow.
Also, considering Clemson and USC were losses by a combined, what, 3 points(?) I am not worried as some of you are. 19 Games left with the Arkansas game in between, which right now looks to be a solid test. Hopefully, we can beat a few teams near the top of the big 12 this year and have stronger wins.
