Start Zollers and put Pribula in (if healthy) if and only if Zollers is injured.

Start Zollers and put Pribula in (if healthy) if and only if Zollers is injured or sucks.

Fixed it for you

Recovering from a dislocated ankle, Pribula won't be doing a lot of running. As far as arms, I might like Zollers more.

I'm tired of his shrinking violet act in the pocket. Fleeing the pocket even when no pressure is arriving, and escaping to throwaways. You can't have a quarterback operating like that. He led the offense to 3 points against Vanderbilt in more than a half before he got hurt.

[abnerdoubled]

Keep him around but let him know that his current role and his future are only as a backup to Z

He doesn't sound like a guy looking for another job.

Never say never but the guy looks like someone with a chip on his shoulder and wants to prove he can indeed win "big games" here.

His points are right on when it comes to the money.

No coach worth his salt is going to come here without the needed support.

We have seen Pribula and pretty much know what he is and what Missouri has with him.

Now let's ride it out with Matt and give him his shake.

They can easily do this by saying it's precautionary I don't care it likely should be just stick with Zollers and find out what you have.

This is an opportunity and not just for Zollers.

[JackBolly]

Jordan Roger's said during the MSSt game that they gotta let Zollers play, i.e. stop throttling him way back.

I have to admit, it really sucks going to OU with our QB situation so questionable. I really think we’re a better team, but our OLine and QB are such question marks in the passing game right now I can see OU stacking the box and shutting us down almost completely.

We desperately need one of our QB’s to step up and play great. A little worried about sending Pribula back out against OU’s D line with his ankle coming off serious injury. Sounds like a recipe for 5 sacks and another injury.

[hockey jedi]

Doesn't matter. Hardy and Roberts will be running the ball most of the time.

[hdhntr148]

actually OU's o sucks and bama didn't pressure QB at all so PFF guys said could be real defensive struggle as Sooners can't run ball. they both said close game take the points and MU and tigers could win it. OU had 10 pts from TO's and D, only had 200 yards of offense against them. those guys said MU's D is better than Bama's and had stats to show it.

as far as QB should probably start Zollers try to run ball and do play action but sooners are tough against the run tho bama did have some success there. then if nothing happening bring Beau in and run two minute offense with throw the ball quickly to avoid contact. Everything short, lots of wheel routes with backs and TE releases after blocking and see how it goes. bama had 400 yards of offense but TO's detailed them too often. IF MU can limit the penalties and TO's have great chance of beating them as OU after two incredible wins on the road might be looking past them to LSU. That's our hope anyway.

It will be interesting to see what the first found of availability reports looks like this evening.

I suspect they'll list Pribula as "questionable".

As for OU, it sounds as though their 2 best defensive players (Edge/CB) will be out again this week regardless of how they're listed tonight.

Unfortunately they have freaks rotating in at both positions...

On a personal note, I'll be in OKC on biz Friday and have been invited to the game Saturday along with the OKC Thunder game on Sunday evening.

With Pribula 100% yes I do. Or at a minimum very, very close. Playing in Norman, with a very unclear situation at QB, we’re probably going to struggle to keep it within 2 TD’s. I think we lose by 10-14 points.

we haven't won in Norman since 1966 and we are nowhere near the team OU is
