I"m not going to disagree with the comment on Oklahoma always gets the benefit of the doubt when their teams are consistently overrated but,

quote:

He wanted to go for two when OU was destroying Baylor the last 6 minutes instead of going to OT and finishing the job

Yes, he was going for the win b/c Baylor could not stop the QB BEll Power run at all. OU had a false start that backed them up 5 yards and then he had to kick the XP which would have sent them to OT. OU would have easily gotten the 2pts before the false start.

quote:

Then called a TO giving Baylor a free play to score with 8 seconds left.

That;s not what happened. Briles was stupid to try to play for overtime when he had :51 seconds left and RG3 on the field. Their first play was a run so Bob called a TO with :45 seconds so OU would have time on the clock if they forced Baylor to punt. That was the right call since OU just scored 2 TD's in 5 minutes. That time out forced Baylor to get one first down and Briles to do what he should have done to begin with.




***Mack Brown probably gets my vote. Somehow though Lane Kiffen should get a mention.

I say Brown as well, Lots of coaches could have done a better job than Mack with all the talent he has to choose from.
Stoops is just a avg. coach and a jerk.

I think Briles should be mentioned also. RGIII has had to bail out his coach several times this year due to bad real time coaching decisions. Although he has not made it to a BCS bowl let alone a BCSCG he has been mentioned as one of the up and coming coaches. RGIII is the best College football player right now and is having a Brett Farve type year to help an underdog small college win big games. The coach (Briles) if he leaves will become the next Curley Hallman.
