Opinion
The lone bright spot was this offense still scored more points than OU did.
The second half was easily worse than the first half offense we can be mad or upset all we want but the truth is this offense was not prepared not just the players but the coaches. The offense came in as an established rushing attack and you come out throwing just doesn’t make sense… especially when getting momentum to start the game to build confidence in the offense went out the window when you tried to get the offense to do something they simply aren’t good at. The coaches talk about the players holding each other accountable but they need to start holding each other accountable and executing a game plan of what they are good at. Lewis was not great by all means he played poorly it was his first road game playing with fans he did not look comfortable in the pocket and his decisions were not great but at least he was confident in his reads.
