I never expected us to win but I wanted to see guys who would fight for pride. The bad news is that there were only a few.

I feel very badly for Ajay Allen getting hurt because he was one of the few that showed some toughness and balls.

I can't say that for the numerous defenders who were allowing themselves to be blocked down field (even after the whistle) for 10-15-20 yards. Just a ton of examples of OU players escorting our defenders off of the screen and into the grandstand. Also, I don't know what it is this year when they show Reimers on screen, but every time they do he looks like a wet cat who just swam the English channel. Sucking air as if he was in outer space for a long time and only barely made it to the airlock.

Gabe Irvin looked like a dude wanting to prove he can play. Between him and Ajay this is a great reflection on Applewhite.

Travis Fischer, Ruud, Dawson....are they just phoning it in?

Raiola? I don't know what to say. I'm not sure Benhart knows he's playing football. He looks like a they suited up a penguin from the antarctic and set him on the field during the game. He moves around like he is the living embodiment of Lil' Red. Corcoran moved to LT and almost immediately allowed his man to use the most basic of moves to crush CT. These guys make Niouli look smart for doing whatever he could to sit out a year.

IMO - Mickey has two weeks to separate the fighters from the fuckwads. Bench anyone who isn't there to fight. Better to lose with a less talented guy trying than a "starter" who will allow every OU player to shit in his face. Too many guys look like beaten dogs. That's ok. They've been through a lot, but it's time some of them sat and watched.
 
Benhart and Piper should never see the field again. Don't let those fucks back in the stadium unless they're buying tickets.

Defensive coaches have phoned it in. I wouldn't expect much to change there unless they get shitcanned.
 
Palmer got planted by an OU defender behind the line after the whistle and I don't think a single OL went to help or get in the face of the OU player. All day the Sooners were waving their dicks at the Huskers' girlfriends and our guys just let them. Where is the pride? Where is the anger at being embarrassed? Where is the will to make the embarrassment stop?

Castenada got the ball ripped out by a defender that just wanted it more. Guys were getting free runs straight at Thompson and he would just backpedal until they devoured him like he was scared. And again the OL dudes didn't even look like they noticed their QB just got piledrived into the field. No heart. No emotion. Do we even have more than a handful of actual football players?

All I ever heard was that Hutmacher was this freaky strong wrestler. Who did he dominate yesterday? Who did he over power to make a play in the backfield? Ty Robinson is bigger than any two regular people combined, who did he shove over and destroy yesterday?

Casey took 1 medium hit early and played scared after. I don't think he's mentally close to ready to be what he could be
 
I literally saw 73 fire off the ball into a LB that promptly knocked him on his ass. 73 probably had 80 pounds on him and a full head of steam but still ended up on his butt.
