Why the bowl game mattered

I thought j smith called good games the last three games puppy...he was awful on Friday.
I hate to say it but cyler is still the front runner for next season. -
I think bowl games can really expose who wanted to be there more, and who was more motivated to compete. It exposes that more than "out-scheming" or "out-coaching". Every bowl season a handful of teams get exposed sleep walking through their bowl game. They get jumped on early and rolled over. Oklahoma this year, ASU in the holiday bowl last year, etc.
Awkward situation to prep for, for some players a bowl game is a last chance to audition for NFL, for others it's an extended all-expense paid vacation and the last game of their playing career as they have no pro prospects. It can lead to some weird game dynamics and lack of focus. -
Smith didnt "all of a sudden" call bad game cornel. Miles just actually made a play or 2 downfield in those 3 games..then came back in the apple cup and bowl game and shit the bed.
J. Smith cant go on the field and actually point out what receiver for Miles to throw to when a play gets called. Only in practice. Do you get that cornel? Sheesh its like a broken record with you, and seemingly 80% of the rest of you who blame the playcaller. -
If Cyler starts next season, and in particular it becomes abundantly clear that he's failed to progress much as a QB, I'll be very vocal about questioning what Petersen is doing.jecornel said:I thought j smith called good games the last three games puppy...he was awful on Friday.

You can't have Cyler start next season ... period.
The entire culture of this team needs to turn over ... and Cyler's a key factor in that. -
There is no evidence that Smith is a good coordinator or play caller. It's fine and even accurate to say he was handcuffed, but he was coordinator of an offense that sucked. You don't get courtesy points for not having ideal talent.puppylove_sugarsteel said:Smith didnt "all of a sudden" call bad game cornel.

This bowl game means jack squat Jimmy. Reminded me of the '98 Aloha Bowl...Jarzynka sunning himself on the white sands of Waikiki with that beautiful mullet
Onward and upward from here my friends -
Cycler is the incumbent and someone will need to prove they are a better option than a guy who has started 14 games. I do not want to see cyler play another snap but he is the #1 guy going into spring ball. Samuels and Browning will be freshman proving that they will better options. It doesn't seem like they would have to do much prove they are better. Peterson will need to bite the bullet and go with a guy with no D1 game experience.Tequilla said:

Oky state's QB is laughing at true frosh comments while lighting up our 1st round defensive talent.jecornel said:

The mark of a good coach is that they adjust to what they have and make it work. What concerns me with smith is that he still tried to force his system onto a qb who couldn't do it. Then, b/c cyler couldn't do it they basically made it as vanilla as possible.RoadDawg55 said:

I just can't see how anyone who knows anything about football goes into a practice and watches cyler throw the ball and thinks that he can move an offense. If you aren't even a threat to throw 10+ yard passes either by skill or by recognition of defenses it puts your team in the back seat before the game is kicked off.

It was Oklahoma State's worst season since 2007.FreeChavez said:
