I get all the sunshine and rainbow thinking going on here, there is a lot to like from the game - we probably beat the #7 team in the country if our QB isn't playing on one leg.
1) We found our QB, BM is the real deal, the zip on his ball and accuracy and quick release is great (of course he gets hurt, we now have 3 hurt QB's and a crazy unlucky tradition of injured QB's going on a decade now)
2) Felt like WR screens were working better because he was getting the ball there so fast and he was making good reads over the middle to find open WR's
3). Defense played great for most of the game until they got put in terrible spots in the second half and got worn down by the offense's failures in the second half
3) Speaking of that, we did not adjust in the 2nd half late to what okie lite was doing defensively. We scored on 1 of our last 6 possessions after taking 31-23 lead. Okie Lite tried to hand us this game and we crapped the bed. so many 3 and outs and scoring on 1/6 possessions late is terrible. We didn't make any adjustments until it was too late. They were bringing the house and jumping our routes and we didn't do **** about it until too late.
4) I don't trust Wolff. His season 2 years ago was horrendous and missing crucial field goals 2 weeks in a row is bad. Doesn't matter that it hit the post, it didn't go in. He spiraled and lost all confidence 2 years ago and it could be happening again.
So many positives to take from the game and I love that our team fights their ass off and had the number 7 team on the ropes despite an injured qb and missing field goals and not adjusting to their defensive adjustments. Not into moral victories we lost the damn game but our team is fighting and close against all these top 25, top 7 teams.
Can't help but feel like Denny Green after this one though - They are who we thought they were, and we let them off the hook.
