Can we have the Oklahoma OC  too?

That's ball game

No way Georgia will come back in the 2nd half. They can't stop OU. 

Halftime adjustments!?

 

I'm hoping just b/c I'd like to see a good, close game.  Don't really care who wins.

 

Interesting to keep an eye on Mayfield though.

 

PS:  How about #98 for Georgia wearing nerd glasses inside his helmet; don't recall seeing that on a football player before.

 Whatever makes the uprights clear I guess. I believe OU is too explosive for them to outscore them by 2 TD's + in the 2nd half.

He's a kicker so he can get away with it on the field.

 

And after that kick he earned the right to wear a pocket protector if he wants

I am most impressed with the OKL o line and their coaches. Mayfield looks solid but he has had all day. UGA has looked out coached and out of sorts. Credit to OKL and coming in ready to show they are for real.

When I first saw him, I didn't realize he was the kicker! 

 

#98 is a funny number for a kicker!

Eric Dickerson once wore glasses that were far more incredible.

You're absolutely right of course!

 

I totally forgot about that.  He also wore a ton of extra pads all over the place as I recall.

 

OJ was the opposite; he hardly wore anything and said he wanted to feel if a tackler was touching him, etc., so he deliberately didn't wear hip pads and stuff like that.

I see the arm talent, zip, accuracy, good release. He sees the field (moved the safety over beautifully on one long completion). He's mobile and athletic. Quick and decisive actions/reactions. Lots to like - however on most passing downs he gets sit back in perfect undisturbed tranquility as he surveys the field or allows for the playcalls to develop. His O-line is dominant. So I don't know how he can perform when under sustained pressure and in a small NFL pocket the big bodies will be much closer, not five to seven yards away. Maybe then not being tall becomes an issue.

Just a thought. Haven't seen much of him so those who have will likely have a better view. 

Wonder how tall he is. Find out at the Combine.

Listed at 6'1" but maybe he's a touch smaller than that.

 

Height is only an issue with a QB if it's an issue.

It's not an issue if it's not.

 

Doesn't seem to bother Drew Brees but does seem to bother Tyrod.

Yep they're like safety glasses more than optical glasses meant to correct his vision.

A touch under 6'1" is no problem for me. But he looks a lot shorter next to some of his mates.

[Fadingpain]

I always found the Rose Bowl deceptively large.

 

It just doesn't look like it holds the number of people it does hold!

Hey there's a good stop for Georgia!

Wo, 2nd half couldn't have started better for Bulldogs.

 

 

[H2o]

Boy that OU defense is bad

[YoloinOhio]

Ok then UGA!

I saw him in person. He’s Russ Wilson height but softer (right now). Could benefit from nfl S&C.
