Sooners do the expected — blow Temple away 51-3

by

If there is any takeaway from Oklahoma’s 51-3 win over Temple on Saturday night it was that the defense — which grabbed six Owls turnovers — was everything as billed. But the offense has a ways to go.

“I loved how aggressive and confident our guys were moving around, flying to the ball and being aggressive and knocking the ball loose,” Coach Brent Venables said. “Fantastic job by the defense.”

The Sooners had fumbles recovered by Terry, senior safety Billy Bowman Jr. and junior safety Robert Spears-Jennings. 

Concern about the offense, which scored many points, but failed to convert on only one of 12 third downs and saw starting center Branson Hickman get injured (sprained ankle), was not relieved, despite the offense scoring 44 points. In addition Jalil Farooq’s season likely ended when he sustained a broken foot.

Farooq’s injury compounded a depth problem at wide receiver. Top returning receiver Nic Anderson was out for this game and Jayden Gibson suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice.

LSU Coach Brian Kelly and his Tigers. Sure, they almost pulled out a win thanks to the bone-headed pitch sweep play Florida State Coach Mike Norvell called at the end of their game in New Orleans. But, they didn’t. The Tigers look lost in the swamp. And then this week Kelly does this?

Kent State gave the Washington Huskies all they wanted last week. And this week the Flashers are spending it in Tulsa, checking out the Greenwood historical neighborhood and practicing at Tulsa Union instead of flying back to Ohio only to turn around and come to Oklahoma for Saturday’s game in Norman. (Curious how a scrimmage with Tulsa Union might turn out).

We like Marty & McGee on the SEC Network (as we get geared up for the conference leap), but doing a feature on award-winning mullets was too much last weekend. No. Just no.
