[Husker] Bo Knows Stubborn

Sun Dec 5 10:49:29 CST 2010

I'm not sure I want to pin this 100% on the staff being outcoached just yet. Stoops wasn't exactly a coaching genius last night, especially the 4th down attempt(s) that were pretty risky (and didn't work).

I am disappointed from last night, but not surprised. Barry Switzer use to
call it Sooner Magic. :)

We got out coached last night, plain and simple. Call it TM staying in the
game, call it going away from the Wildcat, etc. What showed is that Bob
Stoops has won a lot of these championships and BP is still new to this
game.

OU adjusted much better during the game than we did. That surprised me
because earlier this year I was quite impressed with our adjustments (OSU).
Maybe the reason is this is a young coach with a young QB. We seem to have a
tendency to freeze in big games this year (Texas and last night). Last year
I thought we did a lot better, but I think we just played everything so
conservative that we couldn't make mistakes.

I have been a Watson supporter. However, I think the most prophetic post
before this game was the one that showed his record in Big 12 Championships.
We made a lot of mistakes (fumbles, interceptions, etc), but we also had a
weird kind of halfway conservative play calling.
