Valhalla Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I know a bunch of noise will be made about all the guys that Florida was missing, but I don’t think those guys would have changed the winner of the game. Oklahoma dominated the line of scrimmage on offense and defense. That was the best that Oklahoma’s O-line played all season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm they were imitating that rap? Most of those players were like 8 years old max when that video came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think ou still likely wins because they get one extra stop or two than Florida does but overall its likely a good matchup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have been a couple scores closer but still would’ve been an easy win for ou. I just threw up in my mouth a little having typed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Rattler looked accurate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get some of it like “sipping’ on codeine”, catching balls, not being late, etc. but what about “sitting’ sideways”, etc.?

Yeah, we all called it, though to be fair he did eventually figure it out. The game turned into a rout when we leaned on the run. Imagine that! 29 minutes ago, DB2point0 said: Those 4 WRs don’t play on the defense that gave up 400+ yards rushing Uh, yeah... Trask was picked off three times (albeit one was a tip drill), so I don't see how having different targets changes those turnovers. Would those starters have made a difference? Who knows. Frankly, I thought UF's offense looked better with the backup QBs in. What's to say Trask throws 5 picks if he plays the full game, and it's even more lopsided? Between the goofy deep pass playcalls early on, two stupid fumbles, and then OU kneeling the ball on the final drive, the game could've been even worse than it was. But coulda/shoulda/woulda. It's a pointless topic. Oklahoma beat Florida 55-20. Big XII champs. Cotton Bowl champs. That's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhornfan Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 I realize Florida had several players out, but I thought Dan Mullen's after game comments were more embarrassing than the game. Kind of showed his true character IMO. "The last game this team played was 11 days ago." "I thought our scout team guys played well." "We didn't have to play." Look Coach, those of us that follow the game know the situation you and your team was facing. You could have handled this much better than whining at the podium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being a freshman or back up finally getting more playing time, or just playing time in general, and your coach goes into his presser and calls you scout team. If that's the case then Coach O has been playing with a scout team all year and they beat Florida with starters and all. LMAO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look, I get it: having several players opt-out puts you in a damn difficult spot. Our best CB opted-out. I don't blame him. Dude is looking at possible first-round money. Get paid, young man! But as the coach, this is what you signed up for. This is what you get paid 6 million dollars to figure out. If you want to be on the big stage you gotta play to win no matter what circumstances throw at you. If you play the ##### you're gonna get ######. Starters opt-out? Tough ####, you still gotta win. NCAA suspended your star players? Tough ####, you still gotta win. Practice facility got hit by lightning, huh? Tough ####, you still gotta win. This ain't 3A junior-varsity tiddly winks. This is big boy football. SEC. It just means more, right? You don't have the privilege of pissing and moaning when things don't go your way, and you get blown out by a superior team. Mullen would be better served to just own his defeat, praise his young guys for stepping up and playing hard, then using this loss as a teaching moment to build on for next year. Grace in defeat is no less a virtue than honor in victory. When I think about the coaches I respect, the guys who have the highest esteem in the profession, they all have that in common. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
