Arkansas vs 16 Oklahoma State game thread

[Texzilla]

Landon Jackson credited with 2 tackles on the day. There's your All-American.

He's in most way too early mock drafts as a first round pick.  He's thinking swimming pools, movie stars. Not football.

He's Jethro?

These guys do a great job of expressing how we all felt after that debacle.  Nabors on verge of nervous breakdown and its only game 2.

"It's good that I'm angry about this, because it means I'm not numb."

Oh I'm numb. "Yup we Arkansas'd that one" was my only emotion. No remotes thrown and no depression for the rest of the day.

The good news is we're back to Kendall Briles stat lines in the box score, One team should have scored 50 but didn't and still found ways to lose.

complete with wtf turnovers, wtf play calling, and timely breakdowns in protection. We were really missing the annexation of Puerto Rico type plays though.

We'll just have to see if the debugging can commence now that we've played a real opponent. Main things that have to get addressed and I'm sure teams will see the film...put pressure on Green and he falls apart. Contain Green and put pressure on him. That's where Singleton makes quick decisions and is still athletic enough to get you out of jams. He will get some starts this season I feel.

0% chance of that happening as long as TG healthy enough to play.  Too much NIL invested.  Look for MS to transfer.

Agree. Fletcher has too much money invested in Green. No way he sits.

So Bowman is saying they were fueled by bulletin board material provided by comments from our CB Marquise Robinson.  WTF?  Why is this idiot allowed to go on podcasts?  Why aren't they trained on how social media works.  Because a dumbass like Sam thinks social media is Candy Crush.  Another nail.

They didn't looked fueled.

Did their fuel cause us to turn the ball over repeatedly, not have a FG kicker, and not know how to line up and spike the ball?

Pointless and meaningless diversion.

Played like Jethrine yesterday.

I'm saying that players saying stupid shit is exactly the same boneheaded careless arrogant stupid weakass shit that causes dumb turnovers, muffed punts, shitty special teams, can't spike a ball, get dumb rain penalties.  And 100% of it is on our CEO head coach who in his mind is afraid of winning.

That's horseshit. I think the "material" was from earlier in camp and what he said wasn't even all that bad. Wasn't even from game week. And OK State certainly played like shit for most of that game, we handled them easily in the first half. If Arkansas plays mistake free in the first half we're up 28-0 and probably cruise to victory. We had lost focus bigly in the 3rd quarter and for all the veteran guys that get brought in each season now thru the portal we shouldn't be playing like a bunch of young candy asses that just had their first taste of success.

[Son of Spam]

When Okie Lite intercepted that pass and ran it back for a score in the first half, I knew it was over. Instead of being 21-0, it was 14-7. I knew we were screwed.

That is at the bottom of the list of reasons why we lost this game.

Robert Allen from Okie State radio on Sirius college sports...

Calls it an experienced team that found a way to win vs a team that didn't know how to win.

He said looking across the field even when we had the lead we just looked like we wanted to finish the game but just didn't know how to.

Otherwise he was extremely positive about us.

He's pretty spot on there. Pittman doesn't know how to win. 2-10 in the last 12 games decided by one possession.

[The Whyte Boar]

He is right.  And Sam and his apologists will spend the week talking about how we're inexperienced and whatever.  And, to some degree, they might be right and we might improve in that respect.  But we all know it's just a feature of a Sam team.

[Cerdo]

Green has some tools that Petrino will build on.  He reminds me of a young Kaepernick or even a super raw Jake Plummer. 
The defense played pretty well considering the way Big 12 teams press you with the passing game. 
I have to just shake my head at the turnovers.  We gave that game away but there probably wasn't a Hog fan who I was reading online during the game that really thought we would hold on to the lead and win that game. 

We looked raw.  We won't get bowl eligible this year and Okie Lite was the usual overrated Big 12 team. We'll scare some teams a few times this year but we still only win 4 or 5 games total.

I said that was going to change the outcome, and it did. Shit was going too good for us. Up 14-0 and driving. Something had to give.

Fayettevillian at the usual, Yeah it's Pittman's fault, but we could  be good.
