Give credit to the BSU staff but damn you can't blame coaches for 20 year old kids getting beat on some trick plays. Stuff they just don't work on much. The game is played by the players. It isn't like Stoops can come out there and can tackle those guys.
Sometimes players just make winning plays and coaches make gutsy calls and they work. No reason to rip another coach for it. The fact Oklahoma came back at all is a testament to they never quit.
There are no losers here.

NO LOSERS? Oh please.
It's called preparation.
Think of the three times Oklahoma went for the 2-pt conversion. Stoops called THREE STRAIGHT FADES TO THE LEFT and the actually QB threw the fade twice. Is that the best Stoops could come up with?
Urban Meyer will be on display next week. I guarantee you that he won't throw three straight fades. Maybe then you will admit it.

Was Stoops out there blocking on the plays the QB got rushed or when the holes were so small that Peterson couldn't find a lane or when Peterson chose to cut right on a play that he should cut back left was that Stoops fault?
What about the OLB and DE who lost contain on the last 2 point play was it Stoops that taught them to break contain? How about every bad play that happened and every honest mistake made by human athletes out there was that his fault? There human beings not robots, you can only have so much control before natural instincts and physical talents take over.
They played a hard fought good game and that is a reflection of their coach.

No Shit? ......but everyone is saying Stoops lost this one.....cant we just tip our hat to the man that wears the headset for BSU and congratulate him for an outstanding call in crunch time....instead of saying....Stoops was outcoached....WHATEVER! I find those that echo these sentiments have never played athletics in there life. Come on. It was a great game and the Coaches tried their damndest on both sides and it just soo happens in competion one side always loses. Coaches are blamed way to much in this day and age. Thats my story and Im sticking to it.
