Will the real Oklahoma Sooners please stand up?

After 2 road games in which Oklahoma played like it was, well…. last year, the Sooners ran a decent West Virginia team off the field Saturday night to the tune of 59-20.

Everything clicked against the Mountaineers in a contest that Brent Venables called probably their most complete game of the season. They truly played complimentary football.

gaining four yards a play and making only four third-down conversions.

Although I do understand that it is little brother’s Super Bowl every year. Maybe they can get a
home and home with Tulsa going. They might have better luck.

However, I can tell you that from the actual OU locker room video before that game, the Sooners seem to take a much different approach to this contest.
