Dave: Sooners face a wounded Husker animal this week on the road in Lincoln

by

Oklahoma needs to be on its toes in Lincoln and dispel nagging doubts about the offense
That was the most uncomfortable 30 point win I think I have ever seen.

At least for the first half. After Kent St. spent the beginning 29 minutes of the game making OU look like….well…Kent St., the Sooners finally realized that the Golden Flashes weren’t going to roll over.

Down 3-0 with just over a minute left in the second quarter, Dillion Gabriel found Marvin Mims on a few sideline patterns and a nice streak route for a touchdown with just 18 seconds left before intermission. The Sooners then scored on their first drive of the third quarter and the route was on.

What took so long? My guess is that Lebby didn’t want to show his hand before the meat of the schedule begins.

But Kent St. had other ideas and probably forced Oklahoma to turn a few more pages in the play book in the second half, to make sure another top 10 team didn’t fall at home to a supposedly inferior opponent.

 ‘All our exes live in ….’ (let’s check on the ex-Sooners)

I recommend OU football fans not watch replays of USC’s 41-28 victory over Stanford.

Mow the yard. Paint the baseboards in the bathroom.

Watch The Waterboy for the zillionth time.

Do anything but watch the lovefest that is USC football, the all-star transfer team of 2022.

Caleb Williams now has the second-best odds (behind Ohio State’s CJ Stroud) to win the Heisman at FanDuel Sportsbook. His odds are +300, meaning if you plunk down $100, you’d win $300.

Last week, his odds were +600.

BTW, the odds on OU’s Dillon Gabriel is +5000.

A Tale of Two Halves — Sooners win 33-3

by

If the Oklahoma-Kent State game was a forecast of the Sooners’ 2022 season, we can expect the best of times and the worst of times from this team.

Their 33-3 win before flashing stadium lights on Saturday night was a tale of two halves (apologies to Charles Dickens).

The offense in the first half was flat. And that is being generous. 

Perhaps we should have known the game would be surreal when earlier on Saturday the computer system relied upon by the athletic ticket office crashed and prevented half the fans from downloading their digital tickets for the game. 

That error was corrected a few hours before kickoff.

The offense’s errors took a little longer — until the last minute of the second quarter, with three straight Dillion Gabriel passes to Marvin Mims — the last being a 36-yarder to give the Sooners their first score to take the 7-0 lead going into halftime.
