Dave: Time to learn if OU is legit’ SEC threat

by

The Sooners did what they were supposed to do last Saturday morning when they dominated outmatched Temple to the tune of 42-3.

With the Owls gaining just over 100 yards against a swarming Oklahoma defense, they never stood a chance. Mateer continued his torrid pace with another 282 yards passing and a touchdown along with a
51-yard rushing touchdown.

The running game was churning with 228 total yards highlighted by Tory Blaylock gaining 100 yards at over 7 yards a clip. However, there were a couple of concerns that came out of this game which will directly affect the upcoming contest with Auburn.

R. Mason Thomas will miss the first half Saturday, due to a targeting penalty against the Owl’s quarterback. The other being the injury suffered by Keontez Lewis.

Sooners lift weight off their shoulders with big win over Michigan in national spotlight

by

That was a big game for the Oklahoma program.  And everyone knew it. 

After Mateer took a knee to run out the clock, the players of course celebrated.  But it was a little different than your average non-conference home game win celebration. 

I saw a player fall to the ground and make an imaginary snow angel.  I saw a player doing a back flip.  And I saw a player take a knee and look around as if to just take it all in. 

The players even lifted Venables on their shoulders for a few moments in the excitement of it all.  Brent said he understood why they did it, but was embarrassed by it, of course because this win was not the goal of the whole season.  But he did understand that it was big.

The players and the coaches knew what everyone was saying outside the walls of their meeting rooms and offices.  They would have to win this game to prove that they are back to what Oklahoma football should be.

Michigan game key to a winning season

by

The pre-season game last Saturday provided some spectacular results, and some not so spectacular results. 

John Mateer showed up and showed out.  With little semblance of a running game to lean on, the new Sooner QB proved he is worth whatever NIL money he is being paid. 

Throwing for almost 400 yards in his Oklahoma debut and breaking a record set by none other than Sooner great Baker Mayfield, Mateer catapulted himself into at least the top 5 of the Heisman discussion.  (Even though any Heisman discussion this early is silly…but still…) 

Mateer can’t just throw the ball, he can throw it with great accuracy.  And he can throw his receivers open.  He doesn’t need them to be wide open without anyone near them. 

Add to that his running ability, and it’s not out of the discussion that Oklahoma could be looking at another statue on the east side of the stadium.
