Bedlam bust for Sooners

by

The Sooners were unable to overcome three turnovers, despite its defense making two 4th down stands and limiting a Heisman-candidate running back, and lost 27-24 to Oklahoma State in the last Bedlam matchup for the foreseeable future.

The truth of the 2023 season is Oklahoma has made great improvement from a dismal 2022 season, but they are still a step away from competing for a conference championship or contending for a college football play off spot.

Most importantly, their talent level across the board, leaves very little margin for error to allow them to shrug off key turnovers against a well-coached team like OSU.

Dreams of 2000 lingered in our collective heads. Second year of a new head coach. Left-handed quarterback. We were reaching with the similarities but hoping that we would catch lightning in a bottle a second time.

However, sloppy play and even worse play calling put a stop to that last Saturday in Lawrence.

If there ever was a deserving loss, then No. 6 Oklahoma’s upsetting 38-33 loss to Kansas on Saturday was one of them.

Too many penalties (101 yards), critical secondary busts (KU converted on two of three fourth down plays) and an offense that abandoned its successful running game cost the Sooners the win and likely any hope of making a college football playoff.

The KU win snapped an 18-game Sooner win streak in the series. It was the first defeat for the Sooners this season.

Kansas students brought the goal posts down in a mass of red and blue following the see-saw game.

“I thought out guys played with effort, but don’t think we played real smart,” Coach Brent Venables said.”
