Norman Transcript: TCU still Oklahoma's primary problem in the Big 12

[West Coast Johnny]

Well, I think we need to beat them more frequently than one-time in conference before we are really their "problem".

 

[Sebastian S]

When news came out that we were going to join the big 12, I knew OU was going to be the hardest to compete against. Texas being 2nd. The rest we have a good fighting chance any given year.

At least I got 1 right.

 

[LSU Game Attendee]

Last year OU's OLine destroyed our DL in what was the pivotal match-up. It likely wouldn't have mattered because our secondary was painfully overmatched by Mayfield, but it made it way uglier than I expected.

Frogs even moved Boesen to CB for a play. The results were suboptimal.

This. We're 4-2 vs Iowa St, and one loss was Boykin's first start, after Casey was suspended on Wednesday or Thursday of game week. I can't recall the other loss; my memory must have erased what must have been a backally abortion of a football game.

Not sure if serious.

The 2-4 vs Okie St and 1-6 vs OU are what needs turning around.

Try last year. But, I tried hard to drink enough to erase the memory of that game too.

I, too, tried that tactic. Sadly, it did not work.

 

[SnoSki]

OU has a bye week after Red River shootout, that's on Oct 6, they play us on Oct 20. That in my view is not in our favor

Oops! You’re right.

I was in the section with free liquor. The Big 12 championship was a blur.

That was one of the most frustrating things Gary has done in a while. Probably the ONLY QB in the nation last year where that was a guaranteed fail was Mayfield, no idea what we were thinking.

I still think someone in the secondary missed an assignment. We’ve seen Patterson put DE in position to cover the flats before but always had someone over the top. Patterson ripped the secondary after that play on the sidelines too

We beat ourselves in that game...If those two squads played 10 times we’d have won 8. We murdered them on the ground and totally shut down their ground game..penalties and turnovers will level set it and we lost

 

[FrogLifeYo]

2012 was most likely the least talented ou offense tcu has faced in 7 games so talent on the offensive side is nothing new. the 2014 defense had the ability to defend the run with 6 and played solid in the back. they haven't done that since that game and that is a big key this year.

This is absolutely true...And I’ve said it before 2014 is the last time we had great play from the safety unit. I have hope that we will be better this year but we need Gaines to grow into a monster and a youngster to emerge..

 

[bleedpurple]

They have a home game vs FAU listed as OU's fifth toughest game. Seems hard to believe that one.

I like that ou at home vs FAu is considered a tougher game then tek for so many reasons

 

[ShreveFrog]

We were thinking the safety would help out? One of our safeties looked lost on the other side of the field covering nobody.

 

[frog-hat]

DE and safety BOTH blew the coverage.

 

[jake102]

DE and safety BOTH blew the coverage.

Good to know... I was at the game and can't bring myself to watch the replay

 

[TooColdU]

OU showed other teams a huge weakness in our defense.....defending pass-catching running backs.

Hopefully Coach P gets that fixed this offseason.

 

[Limey Frog]

Never? I'm sure at the end of the SWC days people thought we'd never flip the domination of Texas but here we are.

Yes, here we are just sixty more consecutive wins vs. Texas from evening the series...

In the long run, by which I mean time measured in decades, TCU will always trail OU and Texas. It's great beating Texas--long may it continue. So long as GP is here we'll do fine, but at present we're as good as we've ever been, and Texas is about as bad as they've ever been. This is wonderful, but it isn't typical and it's unlikely to prove permanent. Most likely the position we'll settle in will be something like Wisconsin in the Big Ten--always competitive, slightly more often than not beaten by the Buckeyes, and able to win the conference on their best years if the blue-bloods don't have their act together.

Well, if that's your standard then that's up to you. I personally don't give a crap about games that were played 50 years ago. Right now, today, in present times, we are dominating Texas. How we fared in the 1955 matchup is totally irrelevant to that.

I won't be kissing the ring of Texas football for things they did before I was born.

That’s also their argument against our National Championships.
