My grandfather's team will be recognized at this game, he was on the team in '57 that broke OU's record winning streak. Hopefully I'll be able to go!

Clashmore's tickets go here^

 

[clashmore_mike]

Would love to help you guys out but they were offered to a friend by his mother in law. He turned them down because he will be at the same wedding with me. I asked if they were still available and the tickets had already been spoken for. Sorry.

Im really pumped to have won alumni ticket lottery for this game. Was the number one game I wanted to see this year since its a marquee opponent that does not show up on the schedule that often! I only wish that this would have been the night game instead of SC, but hopefully will be a beautiful S Bend afternoon! How tough do you guys think Oklahoma will be this year? Better or worse than last year?

Also this is awesome! I really hope you get tickets man.

So Bell is basically like Ishaq playing QB size wise.

Let the good times roll. Nothing easier to play against than a blocking quarterback.

Jamarcus Russell laughs at this.

I wanna see him try and quickly escape the pocket when it collapses on him...cant wait to see him play agains our defense

And I can't wait to see how he works as an every down passer...

I'm not saying it won't work... but it'll be interesting to see either way.

Oklahoma QB Kendal Thompson fractures foot in practice - CBSSports.com

One of three QBs competiting for Starter. Will have surgery and be ready by the ND game.

Bell worries me more than Landry did, but only because he's a guy that can run with the ball and he's hard to bring down. We don't face many QB's that can run with the ball each season. Denard was one, and while he was more speedy and shifty than Bell, I think Bell will be the better passer (Not easy to be worse in that category). With Denard you could try and take away the run and dare him to throw. If Bell is even an average thrower he'll keep our defense honest if they run him like they have in the past.

 

[adsnorri]

I'm going to this game and would love to park in the joyce lot and tailgate(never done this). Wondering if anyone knows a good place to get a parking pass? PM if you are selling any.

Bell has to make it to South Bend. At 260+, with a propensity to put his shoulder down, he isn't doing the things that it takes to promote a good throwing motion. We will see how that works for him, but I think the part about the Bell-Denard comparison that makes sense is the, "How much punishment can one body take?" And pound for pound, I think Denard turned out to be one of the toughest, strongest guys ND ever faced, even though he and Michigan suck.

Good point. The OU game is pretty early in the year, and they play Tulsa the week before us, so I could see Stoops resting Bell going into the game. On the flip side we've got Michigan, Purdue, then MSU which will all probably be matches with a lot of slugging. Always kind of sucked that we got Denard so early in the season. By the OSU game he was already pretty well banged up or not able to play QB as a result.

We banged him up. Stephon de-laced him, and the early fourth quarter hit by Manti changed Denard's outlook.

 

[STLDomer]

“@ralphDrussoAP: Stud frosh D lineman RT @john_shinn: OU coach Bob Stoops said D.J. Ward is having his spleen removed today and will be out 6 weeks.”

If his recovery goes as scheduled he would back for the ND - OU game though I would think he wouldn't play much if at all

Where did Bogs go...what happened?

 

[STLDomer]

Rumor is Trevor Knight will be the starting QB. Nothing confirmed by the big media outlets yet

Hmmm, Dual Threat Soph beats Dual...well...Running Threat Bell.

 

[SoIll]

Bob Stoops announced freshman Trevor Knight has won Oklahoma's starting QB job. Knight beats out Blake Bell.

 

[ACamp1900]

I wondered if something like that might happen... it was really hard to believe Bell could be an every down guy... now he'll still be used much like he was last year, which is still dangerous in the right spot...

Belldozer is sad.

“@NDatRivals: Oklahoma named red-shirt freshman Trevor Knight today as its starting quarterback. Knight's first road start will be in South Bend.”
Feel like hes in for a rude awakening. The defense should have a fun night

Sometimes, being young and unaware can be a blessing.

See Tate Forcier as a frosh, or Johnny Autograph against the Tide...

Belldozer is a sort of a gimmick anyway. Like a Jared Lorenzen who can't throw.

Those are good points, but i feel as if those are the rare exceptions. Especially considering that i dont think our defense in the Weis years can compare to this one, and the odds are against this guy being a heisman contender like Manziel. Could happen but i dont see it
