Oklahoma Sooners vs Mississippi

Happy Saturday, Sooner fans. Is it still football season? Seth Littrel is out. It had to happen. Joe Jon Finley is in. If you think that's going to turn this ship around then, well.. I'm as optimistic as it gets but this is a train wreck.

Brent Venables is in real trouble, but OU may be in a worse spot. I think BV has a 40 million golden parachute if the they try to get rid of him. I think he gets 1 more season because of this. He shouldn't. This teams issues are so fundamental that the shit can only have run downhill. He's never been good at game management. You work your way back from there and you get an offensive coordinator and game plans that have no semblance of logic. Sooner football is an unmitigated disaster the like of which hasn't been on display since John Blake. It's impossible to overstate how damning that is.

OU is a 20 point underdog on the road this week at Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin is an asshole which means if he has a chance to score 110 points today he will. 

OFFENSE

I will consider it progress if the offense attempts to slow the game down and play keep away from the Ole Miss offense. A 3 and out should take two minutes off the clock, for instance. There should be zero hurry up, unless we can take advantage of 12 men on the field or something. That would require employing strategy which is not a forte. Sadly, I fear we are who we think we are.

I would also consider it a step forward if we commit to the run game as part of this slow the game strategy. We do it halfway decent the five times we try it. The Sooners, to have any chance to look competitive, have to commit to the run. They have to attack the Ole Miss defense and they have to take time off the clock keeping it running with simple throws inbounds.

My OPOG is Javontae Barnes.

DEFENSE

These poor guys. I'll go Gracen Halton today for shits and grins. Hopefully they are given a chance to win this game or keep it close. 

SCORE

Ole Miss might win this game 49-3. If Joe Jon does bring someting resembling competence to the table, maybe the Sooners could get 24? It's unbelievable how bad they are and to expect a huge turnaround is a fools errand.

I'm calling Sooners 10, Ole Miss 42
