Here Comes The Hard Part For Fast-Starting Sooners
OU Okie Dokie. The easy part, relatively speaking, is now over.
Nebraska, already bleeding Husker red all over the field and in the seats after an absolutely horrific season start in its first three games of the season, must be crying to the college football Gods, beseeching them for some kind of pigskin salvation.
It is truly tragic how far one of college football’s greatest ever has fallen this low. And the Cornhusker faithful thought Bo Pelini was bad. They have now discovered how bad historically bad really is.
Big Red Of The North – we Sooners can and do sympathetically, with squinted eyes and vomit rising in our throats, want to tell you WE FEEL YOUR PAIN.
Actually, we aren’t all that sympathetic really.
Kicking your football guts out on Astroturf (or whatever it’s called these days) can never happen enough, as far as every true Sooner fan knows. We probably won’t be seeing you again anytime soon.
Sooners make statement in 49-14 dominance of Huskers
Nebraska’s opening touchdown drive to take the lead 7-0, was like poking a bear.
And the bear wasn’t happy about it — responding with QB Dillon Gabriel scampering 61-yards for a touchdown and energizing the No. 6 Sooners into scoring the most points Oklahoma has ever scored in 88 meetings with the Huskers, winning 49-14 in Lincoln.
By the time the third quarter was over the Sooners had already put the wraps on this dominating win.
And although the number of points set a new high, it was the Oklahoma defense that caught the eye of viewers watching the nationally televised FOX game.
The Sooners either forced a punt or turnover on downs on 12 of Nebraska’s drives.
The Sooners defense held Nebraska to little more than three yards per play in the first half.
