[QUOTE="Froggish, post: 2750264, member: 71860"] I’m not justifying what we did on Sat as good but I think people are really misreading the context of the week 1 games. OU and others had games against opponents that were going to beat them if they didn’t come out of the gate firing on all cylinders. Lincoln couldn’t afford to hold anything back in the playbook because he would lose. TCU on the other hand scheduled an opponent that was beaten before the teams came out of the locker room.It was literally a scrimmage. GP and SC only wanted to lineup in their base sets and over power APB. The goal wasnt points, it was lining up properly and understanding the assignment. If we as a fan base should be upset or worried about anything, it’s that we couldn’t really over power a school like APB at the line of scrimmage. Not that we weren’t dazzling fans with all our creativity. We haven’t even seen any of the wrinkles in the offense yet. The context of the games were completely different and that’s why what OU did look miles more impressive then what we did. The overreaction I’m reading on this forum are way out of line because people can’t see the forest for the trees. It appears we aren’t going to run the ball real well but there isn’t anything to take away from Sat..We’ll know where we stand against Purdue on the road in a context that more in line with our peers.
