[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 3632763, member: 55109"] In the game I watched... OU got smacked in the mouth in the first quarter - by a team with a good recent history and a very talented/motivated QB. OU woke up and played one hell of a GOOD 2nd quarter, scoring 23 unanswered points - which proves that OU does indeed have the (offensive and defensive) talent and the coaching to play high-level football. But THERE - at halftime - is the point where the "problem" started. The 2nd half devolved into a clusterphuque. Which, Lincoln Riley publicly admitted, occurred because his players became complacent... a coaching failure, by the way, not a lack of raw talent. (After a disappointing start to last year's season, the coaches proved that they are a phenomenally-talented collective group. In the off-season, they did not unanimously reach up and turn their brains to the "off" position. So...) The coaches can "re-calibrate" their players' attitudes. I'll place a significant bet - at "inordinate" odds - that they do so, this week. [Anyone remember what Jeff Hostettler/West Virginia did to a highly-ranked OU team in the mid 1980s?? That instance cost Bobby Proctor his job, because he actually did do a piss-poor job of schematic coaching. None of our present coaches are performing poorly overall... so if they are capable of proper player-motivation, they will escape Proctor's fate.] [/QUOTE]
