This is, in a sense, a hopeful sign. It demonstrates that at some point the offensive staff did realize Pope and Wiggins are not getting it done. Whether that realization came watching film after the season or during the season, who knows, but at least it is an acknowledgment. We'll know more...

Whether they were getting outplayed in practice or not, as long as Smith and Redding were healthy and had a basic understanding of their responsibilities in the offensive, they should have been benched in the second half of the bowl game. And if Smith and Redding weren't ready to play a half of...

He must have forgotten that the Big 12 initially voted to cancel or postpone it's entire 2020 season and didn't decide to play until five weeks later in mid-September. They didn't just lose most of their spring practices, they lost a huge chunk of their summer, too.

You're just being obtuse now, but I'll answer your questions to highlight the absurdity of your position (notwithstanding your complete inability to provide a straight answer to my questions earlier in this thread). Yes, Oklahoma canceled a large portion of its spring and summer practices...

You're right. Miami was the only team that cancelled practices and had to deal with covid-19.... Meanwhile in college football last season: Pitt WR Jordan Addison (who also missed time with COVID), and his 60 catch TF performance. You might remember him, though. He had 8 catches for 147...

Google Marvin Mims and prepare to witness the impossible.

Is it fair to interpret your answer as, "No, I do not think it was a mistake because as awful as Pope and Wiggins were, there was not a better option on the roster that night"?

You did not respond to my first two questions, so I will assume that is an acknowledgment that, yes, errors in judgment by coaches are possible. That is, frankly, better than some people on here lately. I'll ask my third question above another way, since your response was mostly rhetorical...

Sure, between "conspiracy theory" and "COVID hurting development", the latter is certainly the logical answer. But why are you devolving the conversation into those two alternatives? Isn't it possible that the coaches, at some point, made an error in judgment? In the bowl game 3 months ago...

I know I am preaching to the choir here, but when the response is "you really think a new coach would show favoritism to kids he just meant with his career on the line," you're dealing with a textbook strawman argument. The conduct does not need to be a conspiracy or some intentional act of...

It is not about a TF surpassing anyone. It is about setting a standard and accountability. Like you, I heard Likens say competition was open leading up to that game. Then I watched the starters (minus Harley) fall flat on their faces. And Likens kept rolling them out there the rest of the game...

I agree with a lot of what you are posting here - especially concerning the human element - and, a good deal of what @DTP has posted in this thread. I tend to believe most coaches (not just our coaches) value experience because those players at least have an understanding of where they are...
