Dave: Win or lose playoff game — this has been a great season for the Sooners

by

Once again the Sooner offense did just enough to beat LSU 17-13, and not waste another stellar performance by the defense.

It was looking a little bleak in the fourth quarter with OU down by 3 and only a hand full of minutes left in the game. That’s when Sooner Magic reared its beautiful head, with a little help from a busted coverage by the Tigers.

Next thing we knew Satenga was streaking down field, no one within 20 yards of him, on his way to a 55-yard touchdown reception. The defense did the rest by stopping LSU on fourth down and securing the win.

With the victory comes Oklahoma’s first playoff birth since 2019, and the first home playoff game in Oklahoma history.

Against a familiar foe, Alabama.

Dave: Ball control would help against Tennessee

by

There is little to no room for error in the SEC this year. And that made itself readily apparent last Saturday when the Sooners dropped their second contest of the season to the Rebels.

After digging themselves a hole in the first half, Oklahoma fought back and took the lead going into the fourth quarter. Then the wheels fell off as they went scoreless the rest of the way.

Inexplicably, Offensive Coordinator Ben Arbuckle went away from the run game that gave them the lead, and the comeback was no more. Even then, the Sooners had a great chance to pull the game out when Isaiah Sategna fielded a punt and had a great return to the Ole Miss 47-yard line, only to fumble the ball and end any realistic hope of a comeback win.

Although this team’s identity is defense, at some point the offense needs to contribute on a consistent basis. Ole Miss dominated the time of possession because the OU offense could not sustain drives.

This of course tired out the Sooner defense and they gave up the most points they had all year.

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.
