I concur. A win against Tulsa is huge compared to Lamar. OSU historically has lost 27 games to Tulsa, OU has lost 7.

Not that many years ago, Tulsa beat OU. I kept reminding myself of that every time I started to tell myself, "Yeah, but it's just Tulsa."
Nah, he has a point--OU is so much better than Tulsa, just like OSU is so much better than Lamar, that you really can't use them as a gauge for how good either team is.
Last year Tulsa went 11-3 overall and 7-1 in their conference
Lamar went 4-8 overall and 1-6 in their conference
to the OP's original question, Bell's passing looked really good, coach's took the reigns off

FWIW, several coaches and players have been saying TK was the real deal since last year. You never know how a KID will react in prime time, of course I'm sure you knew exactly how he would from the couch. You are aware that there are several practices leading up the first game? Do you think Stoops (that guy that produced two Heisman QBs).... just said... "ya know.... Blake looks better but let's try our chances with the freshman."
Many of the insiders say that their talent level looked the same (which Stoops admitted) but in practice TK looked hungrier, fought harder, and Bell looked like he assumed he was going to get it. After he didn't get the job, his work ethic and attitude changed significantly.
Don't see the need to get snippy and attack me. This one game may have been a fluke. Bell may suck the rest of the season. I was just throwing that out there. But I'll be sure and remember that you are apparently the world defender of Bob Stoops from now on. I, personally, believe that they were drunk on Johnny Football and wanted their own version of that and allowed it to cloud their judgment.
what was the "attack"???
There were no personal attacks in my statement. I don't see how applying general logic and reason instead of johnny football theories defaults to "world defender" but oh well. In which that statement is hilarious if you really know Stoops' mindset. Hint: First thing he said about us running the ball (which I thought was wonderful) is that we need to throw the ball.
The snippy comment about how he was sure that I knew what would happen from my couch and also implying that I am ignorant of there being multiple practices before the season starts. But hey, it feels good to be right even if other people don't like to admit it.
Do you attend practices? Just curious. If not, then the couch is actually your frame of reference. Don't get all huffy and whine about me being "snippy", it's my reference too. However, like I said, some apply logic and benefit of the doubt considering again, that we've had/developed some REALLY good QBs under Stoops. Therefore, knee-jerk theories and emotions just never sit well with me.
It was more of a rhetorical comment than assuming ignorance of the actual practices. Kind of like, hey.... how could you not understand that the coaches have been with these guys since day one?
