  Does the Conference have that much pull over the Bowl games?

  Sean Callahan can only say that the big12 -2 didn't want the insight bowl to 
  be a info merical for the Big 10.

  Not exactly what I was hoping for. Washington? Good grief. Who was 
  complaining about playing Connecticut a couple days ago? That would have 
  been a MUCH better matchup! Hate it when bowl games are rematches.

  Well, knowing you have a freshman QB with injuries --- why do you go with
  only
  one QB in practice the week before? Seems like we put all our eggs in one
  basket! And then we dropped the basket under a bus!

  I don't think Green or Lee would have been the answer in the second half,
  particularly seeing that Bo mentioned after the game the players and coaches
  knew Martinez was starting all week, which means he took the great majority
  of
  the first team snaps and the other two kids would presumably not been as
  prepared. Who knows.

  I think this is all moot if TM protects the ball better, but that's water
  under
  the bridge as they say. Stoops seems to come up with the answers when he
  needs
  them. I know some are wondering why Bo didn't make a switch, believe me if
  the
  other two were ready to make plays he would have made a switch.

  I don't pin anything 100% on anything. The world is not that dichotomous.

  I do still believe we were out coached by Stoops, and the 4th downs are part
  of my reasoning. However, let me say up front that this is not to say our
  coaches are bad. I do hope they learned from last night, and they do seem to
  learn from these loses.

  Stoops came into the game thinking field position wasn't going to matter.
  Nebraska couldn't go 60 yards against his defense. Nebraska, early on,
  showed that game plan was faulty and that NU could shut him down on 4th and
  short. He adjusted his game plan, stopped going for it on 4th down, and took
  points (field goals) where he could get them, ie, he changed from this is a
  fast break/score a lot game, to this is a grind it out and low scoring game.

  That was a good change. He also started trying to establish the run to set
  up the pass, which wasn't there at the beginning. Another good strategy
  move. He also let his uptempo offense tire out our defense and then tried to
  overpower us. (A side note is what is the NCAA going to do about these
  uptempo offenses that don't allow the defense to change personnel. It is
  hard to make a rule about getting hurt.)

  What good in-game adjustments did we make? I can't and won't pin the fumbles
  on the coaching staff.

  We started the game in the I-formation with good results, and promptly moved
  away from it to a more wide open attack. We went to the wildcat with good
  results, and went back to an ineffective passing attack that had not been
  working and didn't.

  We stayed with an injured and largely ineffective freshman quarterback, who
  was making poor decisions and locking in on one receiver. Now, maybe Green
  and Lee, were hurt/not better/whatever, I don't know. What I do know is that
  OU had TM's number when he went back to pass and that he was ineffective.
  Yet, we tried the same ineffective passing over, and over, and over, and
  over. Taking us out of scoring opportunities.

  IMHO they made much better adjustments than we did. However, given that we
  were amazingly in a game with all those turnovers. So we did something
  right. Defensively we are solid. We just need to get the other half right.
