Dave: A Sooner win for the ages

by

One quarterback made two crucial mistakes in the fourth quarter to lose the game.  The other quarterback made two crucial throws in the fourth quarter to win the game. 

Before kickoff, which quarterback would you have guessed was which?  I would venture to say most, if not all fans would tell you Mateer made the mistakes and Manning made the throws. 

Welcome to the Red River Rivalry.  At this point it sounds cliché to say throw out the records and point spreads, anything can happen. But sometimes that is truly the case. 

No one I saw in the media or elsewhere picked the Sooners to win this game. 

But Oklahoma came in with a plan.  Very conservative on offense and let the defense roll. 

It paid off.  Oklahoma played error free and let texas make the mistakes.  Two turnovers for the longhorns and zero for the Sooners, along with a blocked punt recovered for an Oklahoma touchdown and there’s your ballgame. 

It was one for the ages that OU fans will remember for years to come.

Dave: Time for some Sooner Magic

Even though Georgia scored 41 points, the defense once again played well enough to win that game. They held the Bulldog offense to almost 200 yards below their season average, and Georgia only converted on 3 of 12 third downs.

But as has been the case almost all year, once the defense got off the field, the offense did nothing to capitalize.

It’s like a broken record at this point. There were some flashes.

Mateer found tight end Rocky Beers and wide receiver Isiah Satenga often leading to a combined stat line of 165 yards on 16 catches with a touchdown between them. But it was all for naught as the Sooner quarterback once again was careless with the rock turning it over 3 times including an 85-yard scoop and score when the ball inexplicably slipped out of his hand as he wound up to pass.

DAVE’S WORRY METER

Oh no, we suck again. I know that isn’t very “true fan”-like.

However, I’ve pulled for Oklahoma since I was a little kid. Graduated from the University of Oklahoma, and I’m a 27 year football season ticket holder. I get to vent every once in a while.

The offense is broken. It just is. And who knows if they can fix it in time to salvage the season.

To top it all off David Stone, perhaps our best player on defense, has an injured knee. Listed as questionable the last time I saw, he at least will be hampered if he plays.

No problem though. We only play the number 1 and number 2 teams in the nation away from home the next couple of weeks.

(Are you picking up on my sarcasm here? You should be because I’m laying it on pretty thick).
