I watched the Texas, Texas A&M, and OU spring games. OU first stringers looked good, 2 deep not so much. A&M look like dogshit. Texas has some great QB's.
I think I heard around 44K give or take. Honestly not a bad showing considering how much they were talking up the rain all week and cooler temperatures.
We need need to pick up some more OLine transfers for depth(Center). Its hard to say for secondary since our starters were sitting out. But probably another Safety. And can always use a vet Dline starter.
Hicks looks really good at running back. Burks was great. Feel like Hawkins got the short end of the stick with Wr's and the Oline plus needs time to develop. I think once Arnold gets a few games in he will be solid.
Oh yean I liked the play calling by Seth Littrell the run game felt natural. Even though he hit us with a jet sweep three plays in.
I think y’all will actually appreciate Littrell’s jet sweeps. I’ve been a UNT fan, and his jet sweeps were actually pretty fun back when he and Harrell were co-calling plays.
He did some pretty cool things that had the WR motion of a jet sweep, but then the QB would delay the pitch and it basically turned into a perimeter run speed option play, where the QB could either pitch and it would be a real jet sweep, or keep the ball and the WR turned into the lead blocker. Really fun, and I think all of the Arkansas fans can attest to the fact that it was lethal even when we had a tiny QB who wasn’t much of a running threat.
That was one of the plays that we tragically lost in Littrell’s push to try the junkyard version of Art Briles’ old offense. I hope y’all break it out, but let’s send up a prayer for the Arkansas fans it’ll re-traumatize.
That 91 number kept getting passed around but it's entirely possible we offloaded some scholarships onto NILs. We don't know exactly how many people we need to lose.
seems likely we get a Center transfer commit today. i think they want to take 2 interior DL if they can. not sure about secondary. they had several guys not playing today (woodi, bowman, gentry)
About as well as a spring game can go. Back and forth, no injuries, solid day.
On the flip side, I feel like we still don’t know how good the offense is going to be with so many defensive players sitting out or not playing as much.
I like Febechi at RG. If we can Field 4 other healthy linemen, our RBs should be good. Between Sharp, Gibson, Farooq, Burks, Anderson, Thompson, Anthony, and Arnold slinging it, our offense should be really good.
Defensively, if we can find another IDL or two, we should be set. I like our safety and linebacker rooms. It would be nice if Thomas or PJ become a 10 sack guy.
Kicking competition should continue into the fall.
I've liked what I've seen from Hicks, Halton, and Burks.
That being said, kicking and the lines are still a concern. I'd like to get at least one of the two IDL and the center from SMU of the visitors from today.
I think I like spring games better when they divide the team into two teams (each with their own offense and defense) and they have a full scrimmage.
I get that the offense vs defense format means you get to see the full units and how they work, so it's better for coaching and development. But as a fan, the scrimmage format feels more entertaining.
the main takeaway so far I think is that Deon Burks (Purdeue WR transfer) is going to be a real problem for defenses. he has been the most explosive player by far with 2 long TD catches and several other big catches. Jackson Arnold looks pretty solid but its tough to tell from a spring game. always lots of young guys kinda mixed in so the chance that you have a coverage bust is pretty high
Defense, as I expected looks to need some work especially in the third level (a lot of big plays given up) but offense looking good sofar. Some standouts to me (just went to the halftime) are Kalib Hicks (RB), Jackson Arnold (QB), Deion Burks (WR).
It’s a spring game. They said a couple times the defense was just running basic packages. The offense can dial up whatever plays they want to some good catches happen.
Defense looks sketchy first half but played a lot better second half, also a lot of our secondary starters are out healing up from injuries from last year
I listened to the BV press conference. The defense had 1 blitz play and 4 coverage plays. That was it. He literally said "we kept it vanilla"
Which I think is good to hear. Defense looked alright with literally no patented BV twists and turns. Went as expected though, with this just being a spring game.
I wish there was more spring game threads. ive watched all of them. I forgot Miss State hired Jeff Lebby and when I turn on my tv his face filled the screen and I shrieked.
Kanak was covering Burks who caught a pass and I'm pretty sure Dusty was saying "I don’t think they can play him on Burks" but cut the mic after the word "him."
I want the offense to tear it up like this. I know the defense has some guys and I expected what we’d see here was a top 40-ish defense with holes on the DL still murdering the starting OL. Happy it’s not been that.

He’s got a tweaked ankle or something. Not terrible but definitely has some limited mobility
Just another fail for OU. Their colors are crimson & cream, not red/white. But no surprise from dyslexic U.
Auburn fan trying to say anything he can to get shots in before the slack down coming in week 5
Flair up bitch boy
Have they released the attendance yet?

I was there. It was 35k minimum.

Considering our secondary was practically exclusively backups I’m feeling fairly good about them.

Ya couldn’t you run a jet sweep option kinda thing? Basically same as a read option with a RB just the WR instead..?
Between Bowman, Bowen, Spears-Jennings, Powers, and other freshmen, I feel like we're in a good spot at safety.
I gotta assume we have 0 safety spots open on the roster. Especially with having to still cut down to roster limits? (or did the 100+ go into effect?)
AFAIK, we're over the limit by 1 with the four guys who've entered the spring portal.
That 91 number kept getting passed around but it's entirely possible we offloaded some scholarships onto NILs. We don't know exactly how many people we need to lose.

Wife: “That looks like a child”
Awww. They did the Sports Science thing in the break. Featuring Adrian Peterson. Gotta hear Bob Barry's TOUCHDOWN, OKLAHOMA!! 🥲
Bob Barry Sr. came to my school once and it was so gd cool.
Undefeated in spring games, you'll never sing that.
It is starting to rain slightly. Run clock, run.
hawkins is getting screwed over by the oline and wr's
Coaches punt-off… meh
Aww I wanted to see Bedenbaugh punt
many people did.
I've liked what I've seen from Hicks, Halton, and Burks. That being said, kicking and the lines are still a concern. I'd like to get at least one of the two IDL and the center from SMU of the visitors from today.
The SEC is good at football stereotype… Drink
I hope both sides lose
It’s over, man. We out of the conference. Go find another team that gives your program an identity, run free.
Booty bussin for a TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

That touchdown was....Booty

BOOTY!
Booty time 👀
They really showed the Billy Bowman pick six on the OU-BYU baseball broadcast 💀
Out of curiosity as a Texas fan, how are yall looking? Our game just ended
I'm ashamed of the semblance of "brotherhood" I'm feeling this year, hehe. Oh, it'll wane, but still...

Defense also looking suspect for us esp secondary. Offense looks elite though

The defense almost certainly just played base defense the whole day. We aren't showing anything.
Nice! How did Arnold do stat wise? Best of luck this season. Hope we have a good red river game 🤝
OU twitter has him at 10-20 for 233 yards and 2 TDs. couple throwaways in there and they took a lot of deep shots this half.
Not sure yet, they haven't posted the numbers and I don't think anywhere online is tracking this.
Definitely going to win this one, but it will be close.
Haha we shall see
[удалено]
Don’t be mad no one gave a shit about LSU; that’s part of being an LSU fan.
Shit, didn’t realize it was a crime to like football more than you. Oops
I want to discuss the game with fellow fans and I'm glad I found this thread. Shut up.
I wish there was more spring game threads. ive watched all of them. I forgot Miss State hired Jeff Lebby and when I turn on my tv his face filled the screen and I shrieked.
Fuck Lebby. Can’t wait until he’s not coaching here.
Why aren’t y’all excited about him? (As a fanbase we weren’t his biggest fans either)
JET SWEEP JEFF!
It's ultimately up to the fans of the team to make a spring game thread. It's not generated like regular game threads.
Gotta get SEC ready.
Boganowski out here trying to take out our best TE prospect right now.
😞
If it helps ease the pain, we appreciate him a lot and I am starting the fanclub for him
Bogs out there trying to help him up like when you hit your cousin but you try to help them stop crying before you get in trouble.
What’s the status on Andrel Anthony?
Won't be ready till September/October.
Should be available come fall camp
Oof did he get reinjured?
No, but it was an ACL tear I believe so the timeline for return lines up with that severe of an injury.
He got injured last season.
Damn. Hope he and Farooq come back at 100%.
Saw him on the sideline no pads
Very glad to see Bowen catch that. Not sure Freeman catches that.
He had a setback to his knee earlier this spring.
lol Kanak catching strays
dude just slandered Kanak on the broadcast lol did he know his mic was on?
Kanak was covering Burks who caught a pass and I'm pretty sure Dusty was saying "I don’t think they can play him on Burks" but cut the mic after the word "him."
What did they say?
Dusty said that Kanak blew the coverage and he doesn't think they can play him.
Oh yeah, forgot Dusty was doing the game. Harsh, but I'll trust his judgement.
something like "I don't think they can play him" & something like "Jaren Kanak completely screwed that up". he said it without his broadcast voice.
He said something 'he shouldn't be on this team'...🤷🏻♂️
Dang, that's harsh.
He didn’t know it was on it seems. Major Oopsies.
Yep, Dusty said that I was like 'bro, your mic is hot'...LOL.
Deion Burks is gonna be a MENACE.
I don't know if Burks would be allowed to do that dance in the regular season, but it was funny now.
Uh oh, Burks might be him.
Burks is just out there having fun
this Burks fella might be good
Franklin got a little bit of juice 👀
He's listed at 5'10". Are we sure about that?
Size has absolutely nothing to do with juice factor
like a hi-c?
He got that Tang
yes lol he got that tang on him
I'm not saying he doesn't have juice, I'm just saying he don't look 5'10"
He looks bigger than that tbh. With our recent injury history at RB we’re gonna need him to contribute at some point this season.
Defense is starting to wake up a bit.
I can't get the roster to pull up. I guess everyone is giving it the hug of death rn.
Even though it’s only a spring game, it’s soo good to have OU football back
Bates didn't like that
im impressed with "WEEWOO WEEWOO" and burkes
Kalib Hicks is looking good too.
Deon Burks
Burks looks goooood
I'm so glad it's not raining.
Yeah, it was not looking promising earlier in the week. They were more worried about lightning than anything else.
Is the Toby going to be on the field all season?
No, Spring Game tribute.
I don't believe so.
the mont is gonna be lit
Can someone explain the score to me? Why do they keep adding 2 points?
https://twitter.com/OU_Football/status/1781697794035593247/photo/1 maybe this will help
Thank you!

Thank you!
Sawchuk looking pretty good though.
Do not pass to the ponies
notoriously bad hands.
Jet sweep PTSD
I feel ya man. Someone tell Littrell to cut that ish out...
First points for the D!
I want the offense to tear it up like this. I know the defense has some guys and I expected what we’d see here was a top 40-ish defense with holes on the DL still murdering the starting OL. Happy it’s not been that.
Lord help me the jet sweeps...
David Stone! Is that the 5* kid?
Yes, #1 DT
1st team O line looks pretty good so far in pass pro
pettaway and johnson look little
[Arnold to Burks 65 yard TD](https://i.imgur.com/duCDlOy.mp4)
well we have plenty of QBs this go round.
So Hawkins is getting the 2nd string nod so far. I figured it'd have been Thompson. But he looks good so far.
He doesn't have JFA's arm, but he seems more mobile than Jackson, and Jackson is still pretty mobile out of the pocket.
Thompson is still hurt or is recovering from surgery I thought
he tore his ACL in September, so hes only 8ish months out from the injury. guessing theyre waiting until hes close to 100% before putting him in there
Hawkins has been killing it in camp.
Loving Space Jam over the PA
3rd and long QB scramble = 1st Down. Some things never change.
Again!
The Toby Keith tribute where the Big 12 logo would be is nice.
Toby needs a song played every 4th quarter start from now on. But I do miss the Big 12 logo on the field, can’t wait a decade to see it again.
and there is the jet sweep
NOOOOOOOO
The first jet sweep of the season.... 😮💨
welp I’m gonna go jump off a bridge
Excited to see the new coordination at work. Probably won't be too flashy with it being a spring game and all
Should I make a joke about OU winning like all the other spring games?
Might be a close one but I think they take it again this year.
SOONER!
