3 Takeaways

[Babe the Blue Ox]

The Gallagher boy sounded good on the PA.

The Neph kid did well with his first meaningful playing time.

The Freshman piccolo player on the front row did well too.

Nice win.

 

[I.I.]

True Freshman Player could be one of our best ever.

Arkansas State QB Justice Hansen threw for 423 yards and 6 touchdowns. They are the 2nd of 3 Arkansas teams we have to beat to win the mythical Arkansas State Championship.

Loved the new announcer.

Special teams need instruction real quick.

 

[JesseTU]

An all positive thread - I'd like to add:

Brooks did well. 27 carries is a risilient back!

The new video board was nice.

Lots of students and fireworks.

We won.

 

[Gmack22]

We won
We didn’t lose our composure when we fell behind
Our running game is pretty good

 

[alchemy]

TU tightend makes two very meaningful catches!!!
Brooks is a threat every time he touches the ball.
Kicker and punter did a good job.

 

[TU4ever2]

If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot we're probably a lil above average.

Our defensive line looks very solid.

Brooks is going to be a problem....for everybody.

 

[drboobay]

Taylor was better than I expected.

 

[TU Guy]

Good crowd
Good new PA announcer
I liked the big Cain’s stage in Chapman Commons

 

[aTUfan]

Did any true freshman play?

 

[TUGrad06]

Solid win.

 

[TU_BLA]

Did any true freshman play?

Is this a serious question?

 

[Raisin_Cane]

Did any true freshman play?

There was one Player, yeah

 

[Gmoney4WW]

That Player got injured.

 

[astonmartin708]

Wasn’t grant sawyer another True Freshman?

 

[red dirt]

Skipper has not improved. Still below average at QB. Time to give someone else a chance.

 

[TU 1978]

Dirt, always the predictable turd in the punch bowl. You used to complain about Dane Evans as well, if I recall correctly.

This thread impresses me because of the shout out about the piccolo player. How often does that happen?

 

[TULOYAL]

Skipper is fine and has the physical tools to be pretty special
O-line needs to get better
Passing game has to get MUCH better to win any more games

 

[quincy101]

Our O-line has some work to do as noted above. Not much run game till 4th Q & 4-sacks plus pressures?? Man, Willie Wright still gets beat off the right corner. 30+ starts. We better jell this week or get used to coming from behind.

 

[red dirt]

Evans always had the ability. Skipper throws off the back foot and not accurate. If you think he is special, then I must not see what you see. We need a thrower. At least we have a real QB in waiting. Just have to get through the year.

 

[Mgotutu]

PPPP.......Piss Poor Pass Protection

What do all 3 mentioned in the original post have in common?

 

[cmullinsTU]

What do all 3 mentioned in the original post have in common?

Educated guess: They’re all from Owasso??!!!!

 

[Babe the Blue Ox]

Educated guess: They’re all from Owasso??!!!!

You got it.

After a lifetime of Tulsa football, it’s very rewarding to have one of my own participating in the game day activities. This was the most excited I’ve been for an opener in years.

I’ve known the other two since they were kids. Both are fine young men now.

The Commons was a big time set up. Loved it!
New announcer pretty great too.
New stats boards were really nice.
Fireworks were cool.

Weird that the beer vendors in the concession areas poor the aluminum bottles into cup because they have to but you can buy the bottles in the stands.

Aluminum bottle = weirdly shaped can

 

[Weatherdemon]

Just read in the TW that the defense held UCA to 247 yards, the fewest yards allowed in 6 years by a TU defense.

 

[ShaneB72]

I was very impressed with the defensive play.

 

[TULSARISING]

Also held on every 3rd down
