Five Things to Know: Oklahoma Offense
- Thread starter JStanz51
- Start date
Lincoln Riley says he can't wait for Saturday. he is looking for his team to create lots of turnovers. really going to go after Brock Purdy and try to make him make poor decisions. This team will be focused and will want to make a statement on National TV. We will need to play our A game in order to beat them.
Quote: “We had a bunch of big penalties on big plays,” Riley said after the game. “Gonna have to go look at it. Kinda like the whole team, there were some positives, there were some negatives and they’re going to have to get better just like everybody else.”
They can get better after Saturday.

I dont see us getting a lot of pressure against them with a 3 man front like we did against TCU. Heacock is gonna have to get creative with blitzes and the secondary will have to play tight coverage.

Seems like OU always likes to play on the edge of the rules. They aren't afraid of getting penalties.
Our secondary really concerns me this week, OU is going to come out firing so I hope we can force Rattler into mistakes. I’d feel a lot better with a sell out crowd there instead of 15k but obviously that’s not possible
Just like with any QB, need to get Rattler on the run and force him into making quick decisions. I would take 3 ints again.
The comment about the OU offensive line penalties, specifically that most of them were holding, is a great advantage for us. Given how good our defensive line has looked in the first two games getting in to the backfield, the OU offensive line is going to be more inclined hold our defensive line and hopefully drawing penalties.
From that it sounds like the same old OU. They're going to sell out for stops and give up the big play when they don't, and bet that their offense will be better than ours. Winner will be whichever defense imposes their will more on the other (assuming no more special teams shenanigans).
That and we need to start well, punch them in the mouth early and don't dig a hole for the second half. The longer this game stays close, the more pressure OU will come under.
I'll try. K-State was a hot mess in the defensive backfield. Klieman started two freshmen at corner. He moved his best corner to nickel and his nickel to safety. OU lost.
Why? Because the defensive line pressed Rattler all day and particularly the second half. He rattled. Then choked. Threw interceptions. Was like 1-11 down the stretch.
So, ISU has a very good front line that will pressure Rattle. His protection is pretty weak at both tackle spots.
If they do that, they'll protect the backside and be in a position to win. If they don't, you're correct, they'll get smoked.
The key is putting pressure on the QB. Purdy and Hall will score enough on OU's leaky defensive unit.
