I want to beat OU so bad

I want all the big 12 fanboys to ask why CDH beat OU with a G5 team but couldn’t with WVU.

It’ll be exciting to see those reactions

I’m with you beating OU would be beyond sweet.

I’m there event however that we should lose. I’d just assume have it decided early enough we can pull King and the starters to protect them. No sense risking getting them hurt in a possible lost cause.

I would have loved to had seen what a seasoned Kevin Kolb could have done to OU vs the freshman when we lost 13 - 63
Lets put the besting on them on ABC!

It would’ve been a bit more interesting for sure. The 2006 team was much improved versus the 2004 team. But I’d still predict a comfortable OU win in that alternative timeline. It’s a lot closer now, and we’ve seen what really good coaching can do with maybe not the same amount of top end talent but a lot closer than the early 2000’s

We better be down by four touchdowns before we do that. Don’t think that is going to happen.

Yeah, I love that '06 team but we lost to a 7-6 Miami team so I am not super confident we could’ve done much. FWIW I believe that was the year OU lost their QB right before the season because he was getting cash to do a no-show job.

Who is the best defensive player not named Kenneth Murray this season? — Bryan G.

Junior linebacker Kenneth Murray definitely is the most known commodity right now, especially after he was named the preseason Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year earlier this week. Murray also was the only Oklahoma player named to the preseason All-Big 12 team.

If Caleb Kelly were healthy, I probably would choose him. Kelly is talented and has shown of flashes of his potential over the past three seasons. But he tore his ACL during the spring and is almost certain to miss most — if not all — of the 2019 season.

But without Kelly, there are a lot of potential options — and none are even close to sure things. We still have no idea who will start at safety or at nickelback. I think we can reasonably assume that the two starting cornerbacks will be Tre Brown and Parnell Motley. Both have had their moments, and either one could end up being the answer to this question. I wouldn’t sleep on Bookie Radley-Hiles, who came into last season with a ton of expectations but mostly failed to reach them. Still, there’s a reason that just about every program in the country wanted him. A new defensive coaching staff may give Radley-Hiles the fresh start he needs.

But here’s my answer: Ronnie Perkins. He is a fantastic talent and looked really good at several moments last season as a true freshman. He didn’t enter the starting lineup until halfway through the season, but now he looks like one of the OU defensive players with the highest potential.

So there definitely will be growing pains. How could there not be? This will be the biggest O-line rebuilding job since Bill Bedenbaugh became the Sooners’ offensive line coach in 2013 and the biggest O-line rebuilding job at Oklahoma in more than a decade.

Bedenbaugh’s last significant rebuild came in 2015, when the Sooners lost three starters. And that year, it took several games — and lots of struggles — before he settled on a starting five. But once he did, the Sooners’ offense took off, propelling OU to a Big 12 title and College Football Playoff berth.

By the end of this spring, Oklahoma’s No. 1 line consisted of five guys who were four-star recruits coming out of high school. And the second-team guys also were touted recruits. So the cupboard is full, even if it lacks experience.
