Sooners rush to 26-7 win over Gamecocks

by

In its first true SEC road game of the season Oklahoma finally found its rushing game, led by RB Tory Blaylock, who started the Sooners off with an 18-yard touchdown run to end a 75-yard opening drive.

The Sooners never looked back. With a dominant defense that had Gamecocks QB LaNorris Sanders scrambling all day, Oklahoma went on to a 26-7 win in its first ever appearance in the state of South Carolina.

Blaylock finished the day with 101 yards on 19 carries. Xavier Robinson had 58 yards on 11 carries.

Down south we go, where the “Fowl” Winds blow!

Bonjour, mon Ami!  Yes, your fair Fashionista has made it home from the Great White North.  Though I did have a bit of a struggle entering the country from Canada. 

Once the uniformed henchmen realized how wonderfully I was dressed, they demanded I give them some fashion tips to make their own dreary regalia more becoming. I was not sure their commanding officers were going to sign off on the new look until one walked in wearing a charming hot pink beret! 

I left them beaucoup Crimson and Cream accoutrement before heading south.

Now, where was I? Oh, yes! South Carolina. How very backwoods! And with a mascot that represents a misdemeanor. Of course, we are the Sooners, so I shall say no more on the subject.
