2025 College Football Thread: Mike Gundy concedes if they paid players better they would have only lost by 49 (15 Viewers)

[The Longtime Lurker]

Can't say Michigan isn't catching breaks. Gotta capitalize here.

 

[Ilov80s]

Surprised Michigan hasn't been able to get any screens or an old fashioned draw to counter the pressure.

Oh boy we needed that!

 

[Instinctive]

Ugh

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Michigan just isn't the same since they won the Title in 2023 and Harbaugh jumped ship to the NFL before the program/University was penalized/sentenced
I never take Oklahoma seriously, they usually are exposed at some point, maybe not tonight

Last year Michigan was fine at every spot except QB.. They just didn't have a division 1 caliber QB on the roster. Hard to really be great in the Big 10 without that. I mean they did beat Ohio State in Columbus plus USC and Michigan State. That's pretty good for a down year.

To be fair though USC sucked

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Would have loved a TD there obviously, but happy to get some points off the turnover

 

[Ministry of Pain]

18-16 USF over Florida?

Where's @Capella
That's gotta be their biggest win since they were ranked No 2 in the country under Leavitt
They've been in reverse for years, maybe Florida isn't that good.

They were talented. USC beat LSU, Wisconsin, A&M. They weren't a joke or anything.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Great catch!

 

[Ilov80s]

Hey lob the ball up to the 6'5" WR what an idea

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Just keep doing that

Fixed that for you. It’s never past tense. It just..is.

 

[Ilov80s]

These injuries are ridiculous

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Nutcracker

 

[Ilov80s]

That missed FG earlier is so big right now, damn

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Settling for FGs isn't typically a recipe for success

 

[Ilov80s]

I feel like Michigan should maybe run a couple designed QB power runs like Oklahoma does

 

[Ilov80s]

This Oklahoma QB is real good but I would be a little worried about how many hits he takes. Is this how he played at Washington State too?

 

[Instinctive]

Trying so hard to give this game away

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

I want to see Underwood let it rip here.

 

[Ilov80s]

I would say hey we are just one score away, no big deal but scoring a TD seems like a monumental feat for this offense.

 

[Ilov80s]

I want to see Underwood let it rip here.

I just want to see him run.

Ok there it is, finally. First of the whole year? Let him use his legs!!

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

Yes.

Big start of the football season for me. Go Bucs tomorrow.

Makes me feel better about my Boise State's loss last week. South Florida is just legit this year.

Yes.

As a Cougar, he had nine lives.

Not sure how many lives a Sooner has….

Oline isn't as deep as once thought. Injuries (especially on left side) are obvious

 

[Ilov80s]

That was the play Michigan needed. Wide open, perfect play call but just could not give Bryce a moment of time in the pocket. Michigan OL has been dominated.

 

[Ilov80s]

What a dumb throw but of course he completes it. Please keep doing that.

Yeah, completely overwhelmed and there's nothing that isn't working for Mateer.

Yep, all the players UM has lost to the NFL the last 2 years is really showing today, especially at the line of scrimmage. Oklahoma is just a much better team.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Ooooof

 

[The Dreaded Marco]

He will. And he will complete it again most of the time.

Mateer is a major gamer.

He made me a fan, I will be interested to see how he holds up against the SEC schedule but he could end up in the Heisman coversation.

 

[Instinctive]

Idk why you snap that ball at 2:01. Maybe I missed the play clock being at zero but didn't think so. Dumb IMO.

Yeah, they need to figure out how to not get him killed.

 

[Sparky Polastri]

And now barnham hurt

 

[Sparky Polastri]

Maybe just a cramp?

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

And now barnham hurt

Brutal

 

[Brunell4MVP]

My VT team is so bad. It’s comical. Brent pry is useless. We have the 12th highest paid AD who is a total Moron. maybe 1 program in the top 25 in any sport.

At least we have no shot at being in a power conference when the ACC dissolves. We can put that to rest and get back into the colonial conference for games against Odu, JMU and William and Mary. Where will be the underdog.

Horrible.

So far he has managed to avoid it against one of the best defenses in the nation. I think he is just that guy that can do that. We shall see.

I’m a Washington Husky fan and I really admire Mateer. Wish him the best.

 

[Instinctive]

BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRR

 

[BroncoFreak_2K3]

I like this Mateer kid. What a gamer.

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

Nice game for Oklahoma. Definitely the better team tonight. They look like they can make some noise.

Growing pains on full display for Michigan. Learn and get better.

Not sure the Michigan defense is what everyone thought it was, but time will tell. The defenses they have left to face are going to be on par or better than what they saw tonight. I don't think he'll be able to do it by himself, but will be fun and watch him try.

 

[timschochet]

Bruins trying to fight back. Nico looks good in the 2nd half.
Whether they catch up or not doesn’t change my feelings- no excuse for the way they’ve played most of this game. And even now they continue to have stupid penalties.

He will definitely be in the Heisman conversation after his next three opponents.

The following 7 opponents are currently ranked but some will not be when Mateer faces them. And even if they are he will produce.

Napier should be gone. Embarrassing loss and Florida is done in September again
