Butt-Whuppin in Big D (OU-Texas)
Yesterday was my sixth time to attend an OU-Texas game - and the first time I have witnessed an OU loss to the Horns in person. After the last few years of handing the Horns their backsides, they got to return the favor.
45 - 12. Ouch.
The first time Vince Young played in the RRR (65-13 in 2003), I saw him slip through our defenders throughout the game. I knew he could beat us once he got experience. However, I thought he’d do it with his legs, not his arm.
OU’s freshman QB, Rhett Bomar, showed the same type of problems yesterday in his first outing. He could run, but he couldn’t throw. At this point, with the season approaching disaster at 2-3, now it’s the Sooners that are in the position of saying “Wait til next year” on Bomar. What struck me about Bomar was how much he was trying to force things. He keeps throwing to well-covered receivers (credit the Longhorn D for that) hoping to make a play. His accuracy wasn’t that great, either. It’s hard to make plays as an offense when the Quarterback is in such a state.
Mack Brown finally has the monkey off his back. The only good news I can see about this is that since the North and South divisions keep alternating years in the Big XII Championship, Mack Brown may still be denied his conference championship
