Play of the game

by Eskimohorn on Oct 17, 2009 11:08 PM CDT

Say what you want about Colt's inopportune and inexclicable pick late in the game, but the play of the game was Colt hustling to make a tackle (about 30). It could have easily been a pick 6, but Colt made the clutch tackle. Now, Colt needs to get his head on straight and avoid throwing more pick 6 ops (OU missed out on two easy Ints).

Part of it may be Colt, but part of it is that our passing game has not been right since the 1st half of the Okie State game last year, where Colt was sensational. Greg, the gig is up. What were we doing in the offseason to enhance the offense? Maybe the extra work on the running game is about to pay dividends.

Nevertheless, Colt played with heart and helped us grit out victory, as demonstrated by his hustle, scrambling and leadership.

Was it his fault or receiver?

I heard the announcer on radio say the receiver may have broken in when he was supposed to go out.

The receiver should have cut the route inside more and not allowed the angle for the LB to undercut the route.

Absolutely

Huge heads-up play by Colt that saved our bacon. I kept living in fear of an OU special teams TD or pick-six that our offense couldn’t overcome. That would’ve made for a long-standing nightmare burned in our brains for the next 357 (or 364) days.

The TV announcers gave the benefit of the doubt to the fifth-year senior QB, not the freshman WR. Either way, if Colt doesn’t make that tackle, the outcome could’ve been bleak.

Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
