Tit For Tat With a Florida Gator Fan Part 2Fri, 01/02/2009 - 11:56am — Gator Tailgating
1. Oklahoma is 0-4 in the last 4 BCS bowl games that they have played; Can Bob Stoops win the big game? Stoops' overall bowl record is 4-5 which is not bad, but in college football and in life people generally expect instant gratification. This can make it into a game of "what have you done for me lately." Hopefully, time will be the ultimate judge of all that Bob Stoops has done for the Oklahoma program. So in short, yes, he can win the big game. In every other case, even if Bradford was in, generally speaking OU was just running the clock out. The maximum points put up in the fourth throughout the season was, 10 points against Cincy, 7 against Washington, 7 against Baylor, 3 against Kansas State, and 7 against Texas Tech. Bradford was essentially a hand-off machine for most of the season in the fourth when he was in. Also, I have my doubts that OU would run the no-huddle fast-break offense that Bradford runs so well if he were out, they would more than likely revert to the OU offense of last year which although a bit slower was still top ten nationally in scoring. Halzle's one big-time game, which I am sure you are aware of, was the TTU game in 2007 where Bradford was knocked out on the first play (he came in for a second series and was promptly pulled, he also can't recall the game...at all). Joey struggled to get into rhythm for the first half, then he calmed down and almost led OU to a come from behind victory, if the defense had been playing well and Crabtrees head wasn't on fire NFL blitz style then OU would have won. His stat line for that game wasn't terrible, 21-41 291 yds, and 2 TD -1 INT.
He started to coach under Hayden Fry at Iowa then moved on to Kansas State under Bill Snyder. Then of course he took the Florida job to give a team with a potent offence a quality defense, which he did, culminating in the 1996 National title for UF with a victory over rival Florida State.
