NORMAN, Okla. – Oklahoma offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson and the Sooners are trying to do too much on offense and they must regroup going into Saturday's showdown against Texas.

"I always think when you struggle, if you're not playing well, you're doing too much," said Wilson, who took the blame for Saturday's 27-24 loss at Colorado. "That doesn't mean you vanilla back, but I have to look at my preparation and thoughts and what we're doing."

After averaging 61.5 points through four games, OU's young offense, led by redshirt freshman quarterback Sam Bradford, seemed puzzled against Colorado.

The Sooners were 1-of-9 on third-down attempts and had only one drive of more than five plays against the Buffs. Colorado ran 82 offensive plays to OU's 46, holding the ball more than 17 minutes longer.

The end result: OU's tired defense couldn't hold a 24-7 lead.

"It was poor planning on my part," Wilson said. "It's my fault as a coach."

Colorado primarily played the same Cover 2 defense the whole game, having a cornerback play tight coverage on OU standout receiver Malcom Kelly at the line of scrimmage and a safety helping deep on Kelly's side of the field.

More often than not, Colorado had six players near the line of scrimmage, but OU couldn't take advantage because it struggled to run the ball.

"There were probably 60 to 70 percent of things that we thought were going to happen, that we were going to get, that never came forward," Wilson said.

In other words, Wilson had OU prepared for multiple defensive schemes but saw mostly one.

"I couldn't look at our guys after the game, couldn't look at them [Monday] in our meetings and say, 'You should have done this,' " Wilson said. "That one was on me and our plan."

Stoops is not a hater: OU coach Bob Stoops was asked Tuesday about a Texas player allegedly saying there is hatred between Texas and Oklahoma. Responded Stoops: "We don't talk about hating anybody."

"I don't believe you need to. I don't think it does a whole lot for you," Stoops said. "I think the Bible says not to hate anyone, but you can sure dislike them a whole lot. That's probably OK."

Bigger goals to attain: Stoops said beating Texas is just a part of the whole picture.

"In the end, we've beaten Texas before and not won the Big 12 championship, and I don't hear anybody congratulating us at the end of the year," Stoops said. "If you beat them and do nothing the rest of the year, that doesn't go around here.

"That might go at some schools where everybody said, 'At least you did that and you're showing improvement,' or whatever, but that doesn't happen here. Winning a championship is what matters."
