When players openly post on social media like Ray Davis did, it is a sign that they are no longer vested in to what he is doing.

C'mon link the comment if you are gonna post it ... Ray did appear sick ? checked out ? pissed ? last night
 
Looks Like it may have been deleted but Ray did post something to the effect that "I thought I was the bell cow? 12 carries??? Guess not" . Rays dad also posted " One of the best backs in the nation only touches the ball 12 times? Craziness "
 
asking genuinely: can you lose the locker room if the player who posted publicly (then deleted) was only playing one more game anyway?

I guess it could be sign of deeper rot though, but he was done after the Louisville game regardless. I doubt he would have played in 7-5/8-4 bowl game but who knows. I’d guess he would have played in a New Years Day bowl.
 
I mean, you get the ball at 50 with 2 mins left and two TOs and you don’t give the the ball to Ray on the play is pretty stupid. Down 3 with 50 yards in front of you and gave up a strip sack.
 
This team has a cancer....... from the outside looking in it seems to be the cancer is a few highly rated kids were made promises about their role if they came here. That seems to have created resentment from many on the team and there is no chemistry. Coaches can't honor the commitments to the "talent" and keep the blue collar kids happy too ......this team has quit on the coaches.
I foresee a mass exodus after the season.....outbound transfer portal will be active.

You may be onto something ...

You can’t run in that situation. You have no timeouts left. You might be able to run once you get in FG range though.
 
Agree you don't run the ball there with no timeouts. You do, however, go for a quick completion into field goal range; no slow developing low percentage pass plays until you have that insurance to get to overtime.

We had two TO’s left when Leary was stripped but I don’t disagree that running was dicey at that point. Take the opportunity if it’s there but you have to be selective about running.
 
Poor coaching job for past two years. Changes need to be made with defensive and offensive line coaches this off season and Stoops needs to go if next year features another 6 loss season. Too much money has been invested by the big donors and the fans to be right back where things were when Brooks was here . Remember we have one more guaranteed win now than we had under Brooks.

If there is any question how important coaching is look no further than Mizzou and Louisville.
