Mike Stoops after Tech game:
"I thought we played relatively well on first and second down throughout the game. Not to be able to make a play on third down was probably the most disappointing part of the whole night. To scramble around and throw alley-oops, that was disheartening. They stretched us out on third downs. They went to five-wide a little bit more and the match-ups got extreme."
These comments got me thinking. I know we want to run the ball but do we try some five receiver sets also? I think Sims and Quiv with their speed can cause the OU secondary some issues on the short and intermediate routes. If we get them in one on one coverage, we can hurt them deep with the same two. We have the ability to put some points up on OU but we have to stop turning the ball over and not settle for field goals when we move the ball.
Btw, I think Tech was like 20-25 on converting third down or something like that.
