If Nick had not throttled back the offense, shortened the game, how many points do we score?

bama played below it's season averages in points and yards against one of the worst defenses in the country. Must be that big 12 defenses stats really are a product of the offenses.
And what stinks is we did it to ourselves.

We COULD have blown them out about 56-20. But we got caught up in the riffraff.

Kyler Murray would never make it through a season of facing SEC defenses. He would actually GET HIT repeatedly like he got yanked down early and plowed by Williams - and eventually be out.
In fairness hitting the quarterback is not allowed in the Big 12 as Murray expression showed when Williams tackled him.

I don't ever recall being this angry after a WIN.

I notice, however, that the Sooner Schooner looks a lot like a trailer.

Henry Ruggs III catch in the end zone was stupid good! It was a mirror image of a catch against UGA. We have the best group of receivers and they're all coming back next year!

Coach Saban directed the offense to grind out a seven minute drives, and keep Murray on the sidelines.
Do you really believe that Bama could not have scored 60+ against that pathetic defense if he had wanted to?
When you are up 28-7 in the first quarter you want as many long drives as possible.
And that does not even include Bama taking a knee at the end of the game. I sorely wanted Jacobs to run the ball up OU's nose one last time to emphasize to OU that they had had the backsides beat.

Tim Tebow needs to find something to say about our opponents other than they won't be intimidated by us. I swear he's been saying it since the Iron Bowl.

We lost four points on the stupid trio of penalties at the end of the first half.

I'm trying to calm down, and I'll say something that get me in trouble, so I'll just say this:

I have ZERO respect for OU anymore, and I will never again pull for your program for anything unless I have to do so to help Alabama. You're now in the category of Tennessee and Penn St as far as I'm concerned. The utterly classless trash that came out of the woodwork online (not so much here - and I EXCLUDE our long esteemed wishbonesooner and owenfieldreams from my anger) combined with the trashy way that guy plowed Williams, who merely had the temerity to LEGALLY hit the quarterback and the O-lineman couldn't handle that.

Kyler Murray would never make it through a season of facing SEC defenses. He would actually GET HIT repeatedly like he got yanked down early and plowed by Williams - and eventually be out. Tua got hurt because of the grind of SEC defenses aiming for his ankle (LSU, MSU) and able to hit hard (UGA). But Murray channels his inner Franco Harris and gives one to one of his slips when he's about to get creamed.

Which is why he didn't deserve the Heisman, and this game only confirmed it for me. All the comments about "not facing an offense" were so utterly clueless that I have to question whether such diplomas were earned at Neanderthal High.

Games should elicit respect, and I was raised to win and lose with class. But the garbage of the last four weeks of deriding our schedule, not having watched our games, and showing contempt deserves to be paid in kind with greater contempt.
Lincoln Riley after the game- “We’ll tonight we outscored a really good team by 17 after their run.”

Also regarding Murray & SEC defenses- he tried. Failed. And transferred to a Big 12 school.

This game legit proved that we are the only ones that can beat us. I mean we near about snatched that game from the jaws of victory with all the mistakes we were trying to make. Otherwise, no offense, but OK wasn't gonna touch us. Murray proved that he won the Heisman because he is the one that got OK where they were almost alone.

Good game that could have been great. Great = not having to feel nervous as much.

I really think we were more emotional in this game more than normal because of the Murray Heisman and all the hype they'd heard about how unstoppable their offense was.

We hardly ever play so undisciplined.

I also felt we got a little cute on offense in the first half with mixing in Jalen so much and splitting out Tua. Just a waste of plays IMO. Think if we hadn't out thunk ourselves we would have scored another couple TDS in the first half and it would have been over.
Well, we only punted twice and Jalen wasn’t in on those drives. The other stop was the trio of penalties meltdown at the end of the first half which led to 3. Jalen also not in on that drive either.

If we played penalty free it would have been 60+ to 17-20.

In case you guys were curious, the whole of OU nation that we ran across tonight was class acts from start to finish. Some of the online posters that were giving people a bad name.....ignore them. Met many a sooner tonight that was gracious even in defeat.

Then their players and their coach should take a cue from them because they wrecked many a perception IMO.
