Dave: Win or lose playoff game — this has been a great season for the Sooners

by

Once again the Sooner offense did just enough to beat LSU 17-13, and not waste another stellar performance by the defense.

It was looking a little bleak in the fourth quarter with OU down by 3 and only a hand full of minutes left in the game. That’s when Sooner Magic reared its beautiful head, with a little help from a busted coverage by the Tigers.

Next thing we knew Satenga was streaking down field, no one within 20 yards of him, on his way to a 55-yard touchdown reception. The defense did the rest by stopping LSU on fourth down and securing the win.

With the victory comes Oklahoma’s first playoff birth since 2019, and the first home playoff game in Oklahoma history.

Against a familiar foe, Alabama.

Dave: Sooners surpass expectations, but we want more

At the beginning of the year, I was thinking and hoping for an 8-4 season. I would have taken that and thought it would have been a decent year considering the schedule with a new quarterback and new offensive coordinator.

So now that the Sooners are 9-2, I should be satisfied, right?

Of course not, because now I, along with I assume everyone else, want more.

Oklahoma beat Missouri, again with a stifling defense that shut down the number running back in the country. The offense did just enough with one or two big plays to put up 17 points and give the defense all that it needed and more.

You really can’t say enough about the defense Venables has constructed this year. Despite our mediocre offense, the defense that continues to show up and show out week after week, means should we get in the playoffs, we will be able to hang with anyone in the country.

Dave: Simply put – OU needs 2 wins for playoffs

Some teams just seem to have another team’s number. While being underdogs the past two years against Alabama, Oklahoma still came away with victories in both games bringing their all time record against the Tide to 5-2-1.

As a matter of fact, the Sooners have been underdogs in at least half of the games that have been played between these blue bloods of college football. In 2024 they were as much as two touchdown underdogs.

Last Saturday, the Sooners collected three turnovers and won the field position battle to walk out of Tuscaloosa with an unconventional victory and the #8 ranking in the College Football Playoff standings.

I say unconventional because of you looked at the final stat line you would think Alabama dispatched Oklahoma with relative ease. But the only stat that matters is the final score.

Alabama fans will tell you they beat themselves with those 3 turnovers. Hey, if that helps them sleep at night.
