I don't think he has an NFL arm right now. If given time to set he can make some good throws, but when pressured he is pretty wild. Maybe with more experience and strength conditioning. Who knows, he's got at least 2 more seasons to fall flat or thrive.
Isn't this game over yet??????
I know it was over a long time ago, but they are still playing..........................
Well, one side is.

I would agree but the lure of the NFL $$$ might prevent him from fully developing.
The game sure slowed down. That 1st half went by quick. Then momentum shifted and the Sooners laid down with the predicable crappy play calling and this dragged on and on like a Lord of the Rings movie.
Unfortunately, we've got another poor performance for an Oklahoma team in a bowl game.
I know what thats all about being a Buckeye fan, that said, we generally win our Non MNC games.

Not counting last year of course
It's pretty much what I expected. OU has had trouble with mobile QB's all season, but the offense made up for it.
The poor play calling the second half was the difference. I said if one team got momentum they could run off a couple of TD's and it would be ugly. It took OU 4 series and 3 aTm TD's the 2nd half before they got back to what they were doing the first half and then of course a holding penalty ended that and gave the ball back to aTm. OU came out and did the exact opposite of what they had been successful at in the 1st half.
I like the belldozer for certain situations, but geez Jones and the offense drives 85-95 yds easily and you pull him out for Bell and screw that up with the same predictable calls. It doesn't take much defense to stop a screen pass to the outside every down either.
Lets just hope in the coming year or 2, Mike Stoops can get some of his own type players in on the defensive line and some better linebackers. I'm still not sold on Josh Heuple's play calling either.
Hopefully OSU doesn't regress and comes out like the dominate team they should be next season. I see OSU and TCU being the dominate Big 12 teams next season with OU a close 3rd.

Long time no see, guys!
I loved the game last night!
There's a guy named Tim Griffin who blogs for the San Antonio Express-News. Below is a link to his thoughts on the game and on OU's program. I think that a lot of it applies to the Big 12 in general. The Big 12 started off as a very physical league, but over the years, it's morphed into the WAC. That's one of the reasons that I was so happy to see A&M get out of it.

The wac, yeah right, just another insecure aggie fan.
We'll see how mr heisman does next year when the aggies lose all those senior linemen. Manziel is talented but he's also a cocky sob on the field and I have a feeling someone will tag him a few times next season without those offensive linemen.
The aggies defense wasn't anything to talk about. The spread offense is moving into the sec and it is showing that the sec defenses can't defend it for an entire game either. OU's offense did what ever they wanted the 1st half. It was Heuple's poor play calling the second half that killed OU. It was the exact opposite of what had been successful the 1st half and it doesn't take much to defend the constant screen passes to the outside every down.
OU lacks the hard hitting DT's and DE's they had before Mike Stoops left. When he gets those type players back, the defense will be as dominant as it used to be.
It is always something when looking from the other side.

I spent 10 years as a coach, so I do try to be impartial. Scouting and dissecting teams/players is something I was good at. However, I can get mouthy and opinionated with the best of em when in the mood.
The opportunity that arose 10 yrs ago to be my own boss, has allowed me a to work a lot less and have more free time for family and still make a good living, but I still can't change the way I watch games. I still have a coaches eye for the way the games play out.

Insecure?!? We kicked your asses all over the field on national television. Why would I be insecure? Oh, and I got the WAC comparison from the game thread on soonerfans.com. Dig through and find it for yourself. I don't remember what page it's on, but I happen to agree with it. The 70-63 WVU/Baylor game was the epitome of what the conference has become. Oddly enough, Baylor, after spending most of the season as perhaps the worst defense in FBS found a defense the last month of the season. OU game thread.The wac, yeah right, just another insecure aggie fan.

Joeckel and Matthews, our starting tackles, are both juniors. They might both go in the draft, but they might stick around to be a part of something very special next season. Manziel is incredibly elusive, so he'll be fine regardless.
Our secondary was flat out dismal last year and wasn't much better prior to SEC play. La Tech absolutely torched us. We also had zero depth and some early season injuries that exposed that fact. Mark Snyder is a miracle worker for making a respectable defense out of this group.
My prediction of this game when the matchup was announced was 51-48 A&M. I thought that it would be a return to Big 12 form for us. What we were able to do in the first half was limit OU to field goals. When the field gets short, our poor secondary isn't as much of an issue. Even if OU had kept up their offensive production in the first half (you've given A&M literally ZERO credit for the 2nd half shut out, and I'm not going to question it), I'd have been happy to trade our touchdowns for their field goals.
I don't know how you can't see that the Big 12 is a soft conference. Show me one good defense outside of K-State.
:::aggies always think they deserve credit for something
They've had an inferiority complex for years. You weren't happy losing in the Big 12, we get it and we're glad you left, if that makes you happy, the league as a whole has become better for it.
I don't think they deserved credit for doing anything special. The OU play calling was horrendous, all aTm had to do was hang out on the sidelines and wait for Jones to pass out there. Nothing special about that. By the 4th series of the 2nd half, OU finally went back to some runs and throwing down field and moved the ball easily on the aTm defense, until a penalty shut them down again. By then they were down 4 touchdowns and then sadly the players gave up.
Congrats to the aggies, the first time in what, 15 years you got to double digit wins?
The comments on those boards mean about as much as yours and mine on here. Heck the idiots on the OU board at Scout are calling for Stoops resignation and there will probably be the same thing happening Monday night in Tuscaloosa after the Golden Domers beat Bama.
