Dave: Bring on the SEC, but worry meter jumps

by

To me the win against Tulsa was very impressive. That could have been a huge trap game. On the road against a big underdog. Bad weather. The game before the big bad SEC comes to Norman.

OU could have really struggled to get up for that game. But they took to the field in a business like manner and they, well…took care of business.

The offense didn’t miss a beat scoring touchdowns on three of their first four possessions. And the defense continued to dominate in all phases and limited Tulsa to 7 points and just over 300 yards of offense. Most of it in garbage time.

Trevor continues to improve with every game and the Belldozer got the first touchdown reception of his career to become one of just a handful of Sooners who have passed for, rushed for and caught a touchdown. It was just a very impressive performance, as it was supposed to be.

And now, as I stated earlier, the big bad SEC rolls into Norman in the form of the Tennessee Volunteers.

I can’t begin to tell you how sick I am of this whole Stoops vs the SEC that has been so overblown by the media. All he ever did was give his opinion about the way the media has spun the supposed dominance of the SEC.

With only 18 Bedlam wins ever, Pokes still ‘little bro’

I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the Kansas State game. I really thought the Sooners would be hard pressed to pull that one out.

Trevor Knight has progressed nicely since the beginning of the season and might be the Sooner quarterback for the foreseeable future. The offense was steady and the ground game continued it’s torrid pace under Knight’s direction.

Not all was rosy though, as the defense continually let Lockett burn them again and again. In fact Lockett almost single handedly kept this game close to the very end. Without him, OU would have won in a blowout.

However, anytime you walk out of Manhattan on the right side of the scoreboard is a good day no matter the margin of victory.

Which brings us to Bedlam in stillwater against little brother.

mike gundy goes for career win number 2 against the Sooners Saturday morning. And if he gets it, that will bring his record against OU to a whooping 2 wins and 11 losses as a player and head coach.

Nice job there mike.

Not sure if Knight is the long term answer, but it’s his turn at bat

by

Well, you’re up Mr. Knight. And what will you be performing for us today?

After waiting in the wings since he was injured during the Tulsa game, the Knight Rider took the field, again after an injury, to spark the Sooners to victory over hapless Iowa St.

Not sure if Knight is the long term answer, but it seemed like he gave the offense a spark that it needed at least for that day. And as if to muddle the quarterback derby even more, Kendall Thompson came in for mop up duty and directed a touchdown drive that included a 44 yard completion and a touchdown pass.

Everyone should take this with a grain of salt though as Iowa St. was beaten down by then and just wanted to go home. Also, that aforementioned 44 yard pass was under thrown with the wind at his back.
