Blog will be about how I think each part of the team played. Let's start with the Defense I think they deserve a B ranking not really an A but not in my opinion.
The Sooner defense played really well to start to deserve an (A) to be honest. From the 1st drive to the 6:00 mark in the 1st half the Sooners defense only allowed (1) first down. Now the D'Eriq King is a really good QB so you were not just gonna shut him down all day long. The sooner defense did really well in containing him. A lot of their passing game was a bunch of shorter passes and swing passes to the RBs.
The RB game did of course have its issues. When your playing this Defense that they run with a 3-3-5 your gonna give up a little bit in the running game. But that's because the 3-3-5 defense is built to Stop the pass game more then the run Game.
The receiving game will eventually be good for Houston. I was impressed in this area that they game up a lot of short passes but they were not beat deep or lose they player in coverage. They gotta work on the swing passes but they can easily figure that out over the next few weeks.
Finally Points allowed was HUGE. At the End of the day the Sooners Starters only game up 17 points before the 4th QTR started and the reserves started to play. I was relatively pleased here in the starters only giving up between (21-17) points. Remember to the when they gave up the rest of the points late was because of Penalties on one particular drive. That is what they did not get the (A) but a (B) is not to shabby.
