[QUOTE="H0RNEDFR0G, post: 2750928, member: 71931"] Houston made OU look good. Houston is not what they were in 2015-2016. Since Herman left, their defense is atrocious. Last year UH was 127 of 130 in total defense. That was with Ed Oliver. Tech dropped 63 points on Houston week 2 last year and TTU didn't break 50 points for the rest of the season. How many missed tackles did you see against Oklahoma? I saw at least 20. I'd say UAPB tackles [B][I]much [/I][/B]better than UH. Even though the stat line doesn't look like it, Hurts performance was actually not that good. He didn't go through his progressions, when his first WR was covered, he took off. I eventually lost track, but in the first quarter: out of 8 passes, 6 of them were to his first read. I don't think Baker or Kyler threw to their first read 75% of the time. The first time he checked down and threw to a 2nd or 3rd read, he threw the ball into double coverage (2:55 - 1st). The majority his passing yards were YAC. That was made possible by great WR play and terrible defense/tackling. Case in point, the first pass of the day was behind the line of scrimmage. WR pops for 16 YAC. First TD pass was to the line, 14 YAC. His longest pass of the day, was actually about a 6 yard slant pass where Rambo broke 2 tackles, had 50 YAC. Haselwood pass in the 3rd Q, Hurts dinks it about 10 yards, WR breaks 5 tackles and gets 32 YAC. In just those 4 examples that's 16 yards passing 112 YAC. There's no doubt that Hurts is dangerous in Lincoln's system. OU has a TON of talent. But this guy is no Kyler or Baker. They aren't as invincible as they have been for the past 3 years. If Hurts plays us like he played Houston, we can beat them. [/QUOTE]
