Littrell maybe or not the problem I do know this the O line is not the best the WRs are not getting open on the long routes the QB is not hitting the WRs open in the short routes the RBs are not finding a open lane to run. The players is this on them or is this Littrell fault yes I know he is the QB coach but there is coaches for OL, WRs, and RBs this should be on them not Littrell. This is just my opinion I may be wrong would not be the first time.

I agree with much of what this podcaster says. I do think he has too much dead air, too many silent gaps between statements, but that is just procedure not content.

The thing i am wondering is whether the run game can be more effective. so far the RB have done all right other than Sawchuck.I think the other RBs are just better than Sawchuck. However we did see Tatum blow a blocking assignment resulting in a big loss which is why he wont start for at least a while . Barnes has done well IMO. Franklin did well but has seen less time than Barnes or Tatum. Sawchuck has seen the most time but is has the worst results…..

Seems like the way to a better run game is obvious. Sawchuck may leave but right now he doesn’t produce. Sounds mercenary but these are pro athletes being paid for results. It is a free market so to speak. The best results should get more time on field and vice versa…. :BV: :ou:

If you listen to Gabe and Teddy, Gabe HATES the run scheme they use. And I think he would know a little something about it.

Geno you are spot on every point you make. My thought it this. It seems it is a mess in all those areas, but to me Littrell is over
this entire offense. He is the Coordinator over everything. Each coach has a job to do.He should be the one over seeing all that.
No different than Brett has his DC that over sees each coach on that side of the team. The difference we know Brett over see
That side of things, it is his what he knows best. He hired Littrell to over see that side. Now I know we have people injured, but
it is who we have played that has most of us scratching our heads. Watch Josh’s videos below, where we missed two outside blocks
& I don,t think that was the offense line thing but the tight end job. Just my take buddy that’s why I want you guys thoughts.

It’s too early to tell if Littrell is the problem IMO. If we can get our O line and best receivers healthy, maybe we can judge after that.

It's gonna be hard to evaluate Seth overall with the undamaged tools he currently has at his disposal. However, there is one area I'm somewhat disappointed in that falls directly under his responsibility: QB play.

I watched a film evaluation of JA's play. It was a full-field view of about 24 separate plays. The analysis was provided by someone (probably a very young coach) that obviously knows his stuff. I posted the evaluation within another thread. Anyway, the WRs were open more than we realized. JA was either late for the read or made the wrong read on probably about half of his throws. Of course, he provided A LOT of really high-level play, too, as this guy pointed out. Seems maybe JA could be further along in this regard, idk. Nico Iamaleava at Tenn has about the same level of experience as Jackson and he's playing like he's been starter for two years. Joey Halzle (remember him?) is the QB coach at Tennessee.

OK, I totally agree with him that OU has got to find some way to get into more 3rd and manageable situations. You're just not going to convert 3rd & 7+ yards at a very high clip. However, it's not as if Littrell isn't trying. Went and looked at the box score & play-by-play from Houston, and by my count, OU had a total of 23 drive-starting 1st downs & made 1st downs in the game. OU called 15 1st down runs (some of them may have been scrambles on pass plays by JA, so may not be totally accurate). That's 65% runs on 1st downs. Pretty heavy run bias.

Here's the problem. The OU offense is not effective in running the ball, & b/c of injuries and inexperience they are not in a position to overcome getting off schedule. 2nd & 8, 9, or 10+ yards to go put them in a really bad spot. So, of those 15 1st down runs from Saturday, here are what they gained:

-6 yds
+7 yds
+3 yds
+3 yds
+6 yds
0 yds
+2 yds
0 yds
+6 yds
+1 yd
+2 yds
+6 yds
+1 yd
+ 2 yds
+2 yds

Average of +2.3 yards/rush attempt. That's just not going to cut it. Instead of trying to manage the chains & take pressure off of JA, the run game's ineffectiveness may have actually backfired & put MORE pressure on him with a bunch of 2nd & 7s or worse.

Well sounds like they need to work with JA college,is a huge jump from high school.JA has a lot of ability no question but the
game speeds up in college,it is there job to work with him. My son was a college wrestler , & highly rated coming out of HS. Believe
me no matter the sport coaching is everything. I promise if they do not work with him, he will transfer to another school that
will. That is what worry’s me.Look at Murray that transferred from Texas A&M to OU. He wins the Heisman Trophy. That my
worry. How good of QB coach is Littrell? Ido not believe he ever played QB, he did not at OU anyway. Just saying?

I think the jury is still out but not after this weekend.If this game is close or we somehow lose .I would think some sort of change is coming.Justified or not ?Expectations by a lot more than fans may have been prematurely thru the roof.My gut tells me we recover and show a promising improvement this week and Cover the number.

From what I've seen of Hawkins, I'm more afraid of him transferring out and winning the Heisman than JA.

Well I do not think I have seen enough of Hawkins to know. From what I have seen Hawkins a better runner, but JA is a better passer.
But the problem at hand is getting the system working not comparing QB,s. If we get production going then I think it will solve a lot
of things. This up coming game will settle uncertainty to where this team is & where it is going. So at this point none of us know
Where to lay the blame. If you put the blame on JA then you must cast blame on receivers also.Our jet sweep, then out side blocking. The blame can be cast all over. I can say this, Houston’s coach prepared very well against our offense. They exposed us
very well. That may help us if we can adjust to what they do. We will see Saturday.
