OU talking mad trash. I like it!

OU fan here. Last year was absolutely a fluke- the whole year, not just the bowl game. They got flat out beat by a better team, no denying that. But there's also no doubting that this year's OU team is light years ahead of last year's. They just had no offense and their only identity was to feed Perine. Clearly a extremely disappointing 5 loss season they just werent all that good. THis year is a whole new story and the biggest reason is Mayfield. I cant wait for this game! Redemption time.

Yep, you sure did. They made him look like a heisman contender. Knight is not good, but he was the best OU had last year. To compare Mayfield and Knight, even though its a small sample - OU was beating tcu 30-13. They won 30-29. WHy? Because Mayfield got knocked out of the game, and when Knight came in the whole offense just fell apart. OU does not have a very good backup qb situation at all right now.

And no one here thinks this is the same team we played last year. However this Clemson team is a whole lot better than last years team as well. We both are getting a lot better qb play. This will be the best offense and defense Oklahoma will have played this year. This will be the best offense Clemson will have played all year however I don't think this is the best defense we have faced. It will be a great game for sure and I believe the winner is the champion

Not that I don't agree, but...


Dec 6, 2015, 10:17 PM

if you talk like this to OU fans, most of them will say the top-3 total offenses in the nation are Baylor, Texas Tech and TCU.

The counter argument could be that, besides Oklahoma, none of Big 12 teams has the total defense in the top 50 in the nation. The best defense is Baylor at #59. Maybe it's because the offenses are so good that they just couldn't stop them or it could be that the defenses are so bad that the offenses could just do basically anything.

That said, the best defense OU has faced so far this year was Tennessee and they almost lost that game. I recall that it's the game that everyone began to think that OU could be a real deal.

However, Tennessee defense is still not comparable to that of Clemson. It's gonna be the defense they play this year.

On the other hand, I would have to say that OU defense is quite impressive. Even though they're not rated as high as Clemson in total defense, they had to play against Baylor, Texas Tech, TCU and Oklahoma State and were still able to limit their offensive production.

Anyhow, OU played Baylor with backup QB and played TCU in the rain. So, we couldn't really say it's thier normal offense.

ESPN's FPI only gives Clemson 37% chance of winning, but I really like the matchup and I think that the ways we didn't finish many games makes a lot of people underestimate us. And once again we will prove them wrong.

Well you better be checking your glasses. I agree I was shocked when I saw that two of UNCs drives took less than 2mins that is B12ish, so it was explosive. However, you have completely underestimated the OU offense. No longer is it running the Heuple Pistol and the pretend read option. LR installed an Air Raid variant that can run power with two power backs in Perine and Mixon, a single back set with that spreads the field and basically keep in the same personal to prevent defensive specialization, it can go 4 wide, it can go 2 backs a TE and H-Back. It is directed by a QB that has only thrown 5 ints this year, while waiting for the O-line to develop.

Why do you think BV finally left OU? Go look at OU's run to pass distribution, that is the beauty of the OU offense, it is Air Raid based so you have to be prepared to stop the pass and chase the route trees but the go and run for 300 yds a game. They run a two-back power version of Air Raid, that gives them a two-back run / pass option. Yes it is very cute.

Re: Not that I don't agree, but...


Dec 7, 2015, 10:32 AM

Good try. But realistically he wasn't willing to adapt to the offenses in the Big12. He was set on running is 4-3 under which is built first to stop the run, and sticking in that defense in the face of the pass happy spread across field teams OU had to face 9 times a year. When he held the reigns of the defense at OU he only finished with one defense ranked in top 10 (8th I think) and the remainder where in the 50s. When MS came back the intent was to move to the 3-4 and in a move a I totally respect, he doubled his salary and moved to a place that would allow him to keep on running his defense.

I've been watching the OU texas rivalry for 20 years and one thing I know is that when everyone is telling you how much better you are than the other team, and you start to believe it, you lose some of that steam and energy and you get yourself beat. This wasnt the first time an overmatched team defeated their rival. In a way I am glad it happened as it seems to have woken them up as they have been (IMO) the hottest team in the country since that point. 300 ypg rushing and 32ppg winning margin. Hoping they keep this going in three weeks.

Well, since last year's team is not this year's team, we'll never know. Last year they were horrible, horrible in the secondary. This year they are pretty salty. But as far as that goes, OU has a pretty good defense. In the most offensive conference around, they lead the conference in pass d, rush d and overall d. I like their chances to not fall apart and look like crap like they did last year. They did pretty well against some pretty good qbs. For example, ttech had the #1 offense in the nation until they played OU, who held them to half their normal output. Baylor was a top 2 or 3 offense and OU held them to about half their normal output. TCU top 5 offense, kept them in check mostly too. osu has the 20th ranked offense and OU shut them down too. Clemson has a good offense too, so it will be a challenge. But it's not as if OU hasnt faced and played well against some high powered offense this season. It's nothing new and a challenge they are up for.

Personally I would be more concerned with your defense vs the OU offense. CLemson has a good defense this year, but if ncstate, unc, and south carolina all put up some good numbers against them, I like OU's chances.

Re: OU talking mad trash. I like it!

Actually, you also have to consider that Clemson has played 10 straight games...no breaks. That defense rested will be different from what SCar and NC State played.

But what you need to realize IS what they are pointing out...great, you have Mayfield this year instead of Knight....

Last year, this guy beat your team and scored 40 points on them:


This is what you'll be playing against this time:

Yes. Last year they were #51 overall. This year #30 overall, and this is in the most pass happy league in the country. Their secondary was horrible and that's where they constantly got burned. Gave up 272 ypg last year, this year 201 ypg. And they have played a bunch of top 10 passing teams. Huge improvement in the secondary and they have a very deep Dline, all things they lacked last year because all those guys were freshmen. Now theyre actually good and it's been a vast improvement. They really laid down and it was just a bad game they had no way of winning. So great game by clemson for sure, and im sure your team is different this year, because I know OU is.

The defense by the end of the year was a completely dysfunctional unit, both players and coaching. New coaches were brought in, coaches moved to their specialties and more importantly MS was moved upstairs to the box. So, yes the defense has gotten that much better. Last year OU was trying to switch from their traditional 4-3 to a 3-4, had a safety playing corner, a safety who shouldn't have been playing, and two hurt defensive ends and no nose tackle. They have finally settled into the 3-4, have a healthy and deep 7 with a secondary that has a true NB, bookend shutdown corners and a safety that can run and hit.

Both teams are highly ranked in defensive and offensive efficiency. Ultimately they are probably very much alike in their front 7 (glad you graduated yours) so like I said previously in other post the game will be won in the secondary, and I like OU's chances there. As a comparison, TK9 threw 3 ints in the game last year, BM has thrown 5 all year long. I have been to two games this year and I think your secondary can be beat like a QB like BM and while Watson is assume he has still thrown 11 ints and has a tendency to lock onto to his deep receiver. His legs, and maybe the TE that seems to be catching more balls might be the difference. But to think OU is anywhere near the same team as last year is a gross underestimation of the teams abilities.

Re: OU talking mad trash. I like it!


Dec 7, 2015, 8:32 AM

I would love to see said video of Watson locking onto a Deep ball receiver without looking off the safety first. His picks have been on balls he threw and a guy undercut or a ball that should have been broken up by his WR and the DB made a great play on the ball. I have never seen him just lock onto a receiver. Cole Stoudt did that a lot. Not Deshaun Watson. I haven't watched enough film on OU this year to see since they play normally the same time we do. BM is a good QB not going to lie. He is mobile and throws the ball well. I will take our chances with a well rested Secondary. By the time we play OU will have been sitting for over a month. That alone is a good thing and a bad thing. 2 weeks is about a good thing. Gives time to rest but still not be out of the football mindset with practices and getting game ready.

Look at his pre snap read on this throw. He is looking at his receiver the whole time, he never looked off the safety who came down pretty easy to make the pic. Look at the second int in the game, he started on the TE the whole time, albeit, he never looked away but not enough to pull the safety off the primary. While he did get pressure he was throwing in to the seam with double coverage.

The previous poster asked for a clip I provided one. Your QB has thrown 11 ints this year, there is a reason why, having seen all your games I suggested one.

Yes OU did lose to Texas and it sucked but that was 6 games ago and the team has moved on to get better in every game, settle in the offensive line, get more balanced on offense and finally find a secondary line up that allows everyone to play their best positions.

I think it was pretty obvious OU sucked last year, they had lost 4 games coming into the bowl game, their offense was in shambles, the defense had lost all it confidence in the transition to a 3-4.

Sure, first it was texas tech who was #1 in the nation in overall offense (Currently #3) and their qb was passing for over 400 ypg. Held him(a starter) to something like 250 and it was the worst offensive game they had all season.

Baylor who in spite of losing their starting qb still maintains the #2 offense nationally. their backup was recruited hard, and he chose baylor over clemson, tosu, bama and others. Incredible O line, wr corps and running game kept on trucking. But they lost #2 and #3 and their #4 qb is no good!

TCU, who also with a backup still has the #4 offense.

Osu not as good as them but also with a backup. As someone who has watched them play I can say the thing is these teams all have really quality backups. Their qbs did not play badly, they did not make mistakes and lose their team the game. OU's backup is the type to make them lose games. It's a nice luxury to have.

OU did beat tulsa whose offense is #16 but that was without their best db and they got smoked but not beat. since he came back the secondary has been good.

Re: OU talking mad trash. I like it!


Dec 6, 2015, 5:45 PM

"TCU with a backup still has the #4 offense"...that's because of Boykin. There is MUCH more disparity of difference between Boykin and their 2nd string guy than your team between Mayfield and Knight, just being honest.

Knight 2014:

Mayfield 2015:


I see less disparity there than I do between Stoudt and Watson. And I'm quite sure the same could be shown between Boykin and his backup.

Re: OU talking mad trash. I like it!

Total Defense of the ones you named...

Tulsa: #125 of 127
TCU: #66 of 127 (and you played them without Boykin in)
Baylor: #59 of 128 (and their QB was injured in the OU game...taking him out)

Boykin is definitely better, but his backup is good. He nearly beat OU and he did beat Baylor. He kept them going enough. There's not more disparity. He had them playing well, not losing the game. With Knight, OU did nothing. OU was beating them 30-13 at one point in the game. After Mayfield went out the offense went stagnant and were lucky to hold out 30-29. THat game was going to be a blowout if someone didnt ram their helmet into Mayfield's head. THeir backup actually scored points and ran offense, Knight has a much worse opposite effect of playing like diahrrea.

Dec 6, 2015, 11:48 PM

closely contested game. Obviously that is barring any crazy turnover margin either way.

We've definitely seen it go bad for us quite a few times, as it did for you guys last year against us. Turnovers can keep anyone in a game against a superior opponent, or make teams of similar ability get waxed. You give a team half a field to work with while you work on an 80-90 yard field on 3 or 4 drives, I promise you'll be in trouble vs. Alcorn St. Polytechnic....or at least make it much closer than it should be. We were not 34 points better than you guys, but that's what happens when you turn the ball over to a team with like ability.

We have the best QB you will face all year (not talking smack, but that includes the QB you face in practice everyday).....and we can say the same thing from games I've watched Mayfield play in. He's a great football player, as is Stryker, Peerine(sp?), ect......

I'm just telling you, I've been watching football for a long time, and I've never seen a pre-snap QB as good as Watson, much less all the physical attributes he has after the ball is snapped. I'm not saying we'll win or lose (WE WILL ABSOLUTELY WIN) but I'm willing to bet you've never seen a QB like Watson in CFB.

HEY, it's not as much fun without a little trash talk at the least! :)
I hope for a great game with no injuries to either team.

I mean, if you poll all Clemson fans, I would say most people believed at the time we were going to lose since not having Watson and losing our offensive coordinator right before the game. However, we are a completely different team with DW4 than Stoudt, who saved his best game of his career for y'all. Defense is not as strong as last year's but with a lot of time off, that will surely benefit us as well as y'all I'm sure.

Offensively we are better than what we put out on the field against y'all last year and defensively we are close but not quite to that level. Mayfield looks to be a tough cookie and will likely give us fits. Both level of QB play now are miles ahead of that game last year. It should be a great game and looking forward to watching/stressing through it all. Both teams should be playing against the best QB they've seen all year, which completely throws out last year's results.

As I am told, y'all run a very similar style offense to NC State which should help us out scheme wise. I expect a really competitive game, like 38-35 ish.


Good luck to y'all's team and congrats on a good season. See y'all on New Year's Eve. Go Tigers!

As far as last year goes, this is so not the same OU, not on offense or defense. Just completely different identity. OU is way better on both sides of the ball and its not really close. Hell they arent even the same as the were back in october. Night and day difference from last year Except now they have what I believe to be the best backfield in the nation with Perine and Mixon as a tandem. Mayfield, who will be joining Watson in NYC for Henry's Heisman, is incredible as well. One thing that does get to OU is a mobile qb, seems to always be their achilles heel. But If clemson plans to sit back and throw the ball 40 times I like OU's chances as they eat people's lunch when they sit 7 back and their dbs are really solid 1x1. Even though both defenses are good, I can see them keeping it a relatively normal game, until at some point all bets are off then the gloves come off and they'll just start scoring at will.

You sit 7 back and Gallman and Watson will carve you up ...


Dec 6, 2015, 7:08 PM

...in the ground game. It's just not going to be that simple for you with Watson at the helm. You're going to have to pick your poison just like other that have gone up against him. If he's on target (he does have his off moments) he is practically indefensible. He is simply going to go where you are not, using precision and speed.

Last time I checked, Mr. Watson enjoys a good run now and then. Better prepare to get your heel tore up

I looked up nc state's numbers and they throw for 200 and run for about 200 a game. Meh. Good enough for 60th which is about what OU was last year. OU has a tendency to throw for 300 and run for 250 or 300. Lately its been 300. They introduced the air raid concept to the offense this year and a lot of people thought they'd just throw throw throw. They do but not as much as you think. They just have high output because of how efficient Mayfield is (high completion %, high ypa and high int/td ratio) but they actually run the ball more than they pass. In fact i believe they have ran more than they pass in almost every game this year. They are definitely an offense that's hard to game plan for, IMO the toughest matchup you could have been lined up against. Their real only weak spot would be the Oline as they start a couple freshman and only return 1 starter i believe from last year. A stout Dline can expose that but that's also easier said than done considering the results of the year. Should be a good one.

I will agree that Mayfield is much better than whats his name from last year. And Lincoln Riley has been doing a great job. I would however offer this. Last year we still shut down both Perine and Shepard.

So, yes it's a different, better Oklahoma team than last year. But we are also different and better. Last year we beat you with our backup qb and a freshman Wayne Gallman. This year you'll face Deshaun Watson and a more souped up, shinier Wayne Gallman.

It's going to be a good game, only this year you won't be able to blame your loss to us on Trevor Knight. And unfortunately for Baker Mayfield who is among the best QB's in the country, after the game it's gonna take the "jaws of life" to pull Shaq Lawson and Ben Boulware from out of his ###.

No doubt- great matchup. I look forward to it, but I wish were were on opposite sides of the draw so we'd be meeting where we should.

It's all about the TV dollars, though, and Big 10/Bama is what brings the most TVs.

Well, my first question would be, how easy can you hone in and shut down a running back and wr when you know they cant pass? Perine was the OU offense last year, he was the mvp and the only guy who looked like he belonged on the field much of the time. Also, Perine ran for 134 yards which to me is not being shut down. That's actually quite impressive thing to achieve when the whole defense knows youre getting the ball.

Mayfield is sneaky fast, he's hard to catch and wrangle down, and many good defensive players have tried to beat him to the ground. It wont be easy but it is possible. Sometimes though, you just have to shake your head and admire talent when it beats you. I cant think of anyone who can extend a play quite like him. Should be fun!

Dec 7, 2015, 12:20 AM [ in reply to Re: OU talking mad trash. I like it! ]

He wouldn't have touched 100 if we hadn't put the IQ squad in, 5:00 of game time into the 3rd quarter.....which you still only managed 6 points up against. It'll probably be different this year, but when you're up 35-0, you don't risk your guys unless you need to. Especially when you have as many seniors as we sent to the NFL last year. 2 in 1st round, and a total of 7 just on D I believe, and risk them getting hurt and killing their career before it ever began.

I agree Mayfield is very elusive, and a very good QB. I'm telling you, when you see Watson in person, you'll be seeing a different animal. You think there's nothing there and he's gone 40 yards. Give him time, and he'll pick ANY D apart.

Honest question, are you worried at all about your OL vs our DL and LB's? Just curious.

texas will be watching us play on tv. Yeah, so what? Doesnt change a thing. They needed a wake up call and got it. Rushing 300+ a game since, over 300 passing a game and winning by a margin over 32 ppg. So it'll be interesting to see if they can stay hot while practicing for a few weeks.

Loving it! Sportswriters and opposing fans have been disrespecting Clemson all season.

Of course, those same people guaranteed that Clemson would lose to OU in 2014, Ohio State in 2013, and LSU in 2012.

Most of those people don't realize that Dabo has used a lot of 2nd, 3rd, and 4th teamers to keep the scoring margins down in what could have been blowout games.

(Did I miss the OU victories over top 10 teams? Clemson beat 3 top 10 teams.

Please encourage all of your friends and the OU sportswriters to continue to write the bulletin board materials for Clemson's use. Thank you for your motivational services!
