It was asked if the UNT game was a must win game. I thought it wasn't, but judging from the silence that has followed I was wrong. Stunned silence or just fuck it give up? Nothing to say. OK.
The UNT game was just one game, but it did seem to tell us some things.
1. Hardison picked up where he left off in putting up passing yards.
2. He seems to have avoided the chances for interceptions a bit better.
3. We still can't run.
4. The loss of Cowing didn't leave us completely unarmed.
5. We have receivers capable of getting open.
6. The defense wasn't bad.
7. Penalties were much less of a factor
For the season, there are enough teams for us to beat to have another good year. That is what I feel based on what I saw. We will go get paid to see if we can be more than a scrimmage against OU. It seems like a 58 to 10 score would probably be about right, just based of life and the last forty years.
So, is there anything to look for other than survival in Norman? Offensively, since we have had trouble running the ball, I don't expect to see us all of a sudden running on OU. So, the one dimensional passing game in not going to be some kind of air raid offensive blitz. Defensively, can we get some pressure on the quarterback? Can we slow down their running game to more than a speed bump?
