4th quarter fumble takes air out of Boomer Sooner balloon, OU falls to Ol’ Miss 34-26
With 7:11 left in the game, Isaiah Sategna began his punt return — riding the momentum that a revived offense and a stingy defense had presented after the halftime intermission, which saw the Sooners outscoring eighth-ranked Mississippi 16-3 in the third quarter.
The Sooners were behind 31-26, but despite a sloppy offensive performance most of the game, Sategna’s punt return presented the best opportunity for good field position when the Sooners needed it most.
Four seconds later, as his speedy wheels took him to the 50 yard line — a perfect place to launch the Sooners to a comeback winning drive — Sategna instead launched himself, hurdling an Ol’ Miss defender.
And on his way down, in that next second, at 7:04 on the clock, he fumbled.
The hope-filled balloon of those previous six seconds, the ones that carried a chance to take an Oklahoma lead late in the game and, if held, a win that would solidify the Sooners’ play off chances, burst.
Fashionista: Let’s dress up Boomer and Sooner
A horse is a horse, of course, of course
And no one can dress a horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is dressed by
Your Sooner Fashionista!
Hello, my lovelies! It’s your Fashionista bringing all the fashion that is fashion this fall on the football field.
And upon your Sooner gridiron, occasionally, there are two anthropomorphic horses named Boomer and Sooner. Not those attached to the Little House on Prairie Wagon but those with human hands and 5 fingers. I kid you not!
But what my fashion filled brain wants to know is whose job is it to dress these said equines? Maestro Venebles? Surely, not. The man can barely dress himself. Though their taste in clothes does lean the same way.
