The Blue Board

I mean they pitched a shutout. Only score was off a blocked punt. Your offense was of concern especially with a 3 year starter at QB

he's a 4 yr starter and a 5th year player...the dude's mental game is missing something

the only thing I was encouraged about was his scrambling ability and moving around the pocket but he has to know when to throw it away at this point, 2 sacks we gave up were because he ran to the DE instead of stepping up in the pocket and making the throw

Truth be told I like our D, but UTEP did miss 3 FGs so we got lucky to pitch the shutout

A lot of mistakes we made are easily cleaned up and I expect a better showing the next 2 games...after Texas I'll make a proper judgment about this team. Until then I still expect a 10-2 season

well if McCarron gets hurt, I still think Bama will stay up there...they have so much talent everywhere else and they really only need a game manager at QB

if Barkley goes down, USC is barely a top 10 team

I would still like to see more from LSU at this point but they look damn good and dangerous on D, upgraded at QB this year definitely

Oregon's offense is prob the best in the country but they haven't been tested on D yet, USC-Oregon game is going to be huge

it can be seen as his 3rd full season...he took over for Sam Bradford in 2009 after the injuries Sam had but Landry started most the games that year

he still makes freshman mistakes and he doesn't trust his OL or WRs which is alarming

I'd like to see him get rid of the ball faster as a player with his experience should...yes our OL have had our share of problems but they played pretty well and gave him plenty of time to throw on most players, he needed to get rid of it faster

It's just odd. I think he is a really good QB, but ever since Ryan Broyles got hurt, he just hasn't been sure of himself. I thought the offseason would do him good and it still might. It's not like he was awful Saturday. He just wasn't clicking with the offense.

Before Broyles got hurt (2011 only) he was:

254-386 65.8% 3,349/372.1ypg 26tds-9ints

Since his injury and the first game of 2012:

122-212 57.5% 1,336/267.2ypg 3tds-6ints

Obviously, minus the interceptions, the numbers aren't bad, but I think OU needs more from him with the way they run their offense.

honestly, Sooner Nation is flabbergasted...he still makes freshman mistakes and he still gets happy feet

he's a good player, just not a great player and we are running an offense (no huddle, pistol) that doesn't suit his skill set

he would be better in a pro set b/c he's just not that mobile a QB...next year with Bell at the helm, the no huddle and our other sets becomes more dangerous b/c a legitimate thread of our QB running the ball

our passing will decline a bit but I think a lot of QBs would thrive in our offense and that's where Landry's stats really come from...he looks great on paper but when you watch him live you can tell something's just missing

he looks scared out there, and that's the hard part to watch...you don't want a 5th year Senior QB in his 4th year of starting to be afraid...it was only one game this year but he has a lot of growth to make and he needs to start trusting his OL and WRs, step up in the pocket and not run to the weak side DE for a sack, throw the ball away when necessary and get rid of the ball faster. things you would expect from a guy in his position and with his experience

by Texas, this team could be really good and gain some solid momentum going into the 2nd half of the season but they have to play better football

People who believe this, should in no way be voters. How anyone can believe that pre-season guesses should take more precedence than what actually happens on the field is outside the realm of rational thought.

I agree. For the first month of the season, I think the polls should be very fluid.

clearly I'm hoping you don't gain a solid footing :D

on a serious note, how is your backup QB ? any talks of pulling landry or is stoops receiving the negativity ?

yeah they def have an easy schedule this year ..if they can beat Oregon twice and take care of Wash then they will play for a NC this year

I am in no way, shape, or form a Blue fan and I am not against Bama but I am not sure you can lift Bama to 1st if you also drop Blue 11 spots. If Bama is that dominating should Blue be dropped that far or if Blue needs to fall that far does Bama go to #1?

noted that GFortress is a closet Michigan fan
