My goals would be:
1. Open up the offense. Give Wilson experience, and let him make mistakes. (Are Whit and Lud even capable of that, though?)
2. Make a bowl game.
3. Beat BYU. (Though it sickens me that we’re back to a point where we may measure the success of the rest of our season on whether or not we beat BYU instead of whether or not we’re competing for a championship. It’s like back to where the program was in the 90’s. Gross.)

If I were an Ok St fan, the part that would bother me was when he repeatedly said he didn’t think they had a good game plan on offense. The way he made it sound, it wasn’t just something in hindsight after seeing different nuances than they expected, but that from the start he didn’t think it was a good plan.

Like, aren’t you the head coach? If you don’t think your coordinators have a good plan, why aren’t you telling them as they are creating it during the week? Aren’t you sitting in on the meetings? What exactly is your job?

I would feel better about playing Arizona at home without Cam than I did playing at Oklahoma St without him. So…

I don’t think BYU will be undefeated at that point, but it’s possible. They have a big home field advantage (like Utah), and their D absolutely respectable under Hill. I think it’s likely a boneheaded decision or two by Sitake will cost them game, and they definitely have some loseable games on the way. But so far it feels like the top teams in the conference have not been as good as advertised, and BYU has progressed faster than expected. Maybe, they ain’t quite so poo poo after all?

(I’m not sure the Utes will be undefeated at that point either. We should be favored in every game until then, but we always lose a game somewhere that should have been a win. But I obviously like our chances of being undefeated at that point better than BYU’s.)

I disagree with that take. Oklahoma State hadn’t given up a sack all season. Their O-Line hasn’t been as good as expected at run blocking, but they’ve been excellent at pass blocking. And their QB routinely got rid of the ball very quickly. Our pass rush was just fine. It’s not like he was getting six seconds to read the defense every down. He was only holding th ball for two to three seconds. No pass rush is going to get sacks against that.

Colorado. Baylor fumbled the ball on first and goal for the final play as their player dove forward to get into the endzone.

Wow. Amazing finish to regulation. Amazing finish to overtime.

This wasn’t a situation like last year. It wasn’t the team expecting him to play but a doctor held him out. He was having trouble gripping the ball, and wasn’t getting enough velocity on his throws during pregame warmups. Wilson gave the team the better chance to win today. Period.

And here I always just assumed those southern boys weren’t much for counting, so they just didn’t bother with any numbers.

I’d think they had more penalties at home simply because they were the first two games of the season, not because of the location.
