OUInsider - Owen Field

Every OL coach we've had has been criticized for a lack of run blocking. What stays the same is our run scheme as far as how we block it. It certainly hasn't changed much despite new coaches who've had their hand on the OL.

What critics fail to realize is that we are one of the best pass blocking teams year after year. We keep our QB upright enough to have multiple Heisman winners and runner ups to go with record setting receiving and passing yards.

Our running game isn't bad either. We've had two 1800 yard rushers under Stoops and a season that had two thousand yard runners in the same backfield. Whaley was on his way to 1500 yards last year before his injury and he had zero experience at RB.

I don't see that much to complain about. Yes I'd like to be better in the red zone but we've solved that with Bell and his formation. The OL sure seems to block well in that formation.

In Stoops' time, we've struggled with OL depth every year it seems. It's nice to know now that we're in good shape on the OL for at least the next 3 seasons.

I would enjoy seeing a consistant "push" at the point of attack and not so many free running defenders in the back field when the RB gets the ball.. as I am sure everyone would enjoy..

I can do better and pay the idiot's $10 to get him permabanned.
