Lamenting a win – Game One postscript
Mike’s Blog
Utah State fans are heralding their loss to Oklahoma as a win for their program. Sooner fans are, well, just hoping to forget this victory.
That’s what happens when a program like Oklahoma’s (gaining its 800th program win) and ranked No. 7 stumps its toe against a seemingly inferior team – even if there is a win. Sooners won 31-24 on Saturday night.
But, let’s look at the positives (it shouldn’t take too long):
The Sooners scored six more points than they needed. Wasted effort.
OK, I didn’t think you’d buy that. How about this:
Demarco Murray ran for a career high 207 yards and two touchdowns. Given the fact he carried 35 times and did not share playing time like he has in past years, it is clear he’s going to have a banner season if he stays healthy.
