Dave: Low-scoring game in the Big House?
Oklahoma mostly did what it was supposed to do against an outmanned UTEP team last Friday night. With a final score of 51-0, there’s not much to be unhappy about.
I would have liked to see them rush the ball more effectively. The Sooners got good push with 3 and 4 yard gains. But they were never able to pop that big run. It was great to see some tight end game, especially Rocky Beers and his hurdle touchdown.
I’m curious as to the absence of an up-tempo offense. Oklahoma seems to be going with a more under-center style this year. Which I get as an under-center power run offense would, I believe, complement our dominate defense.
However, I assume the game plan was plain as plain could be and we should expect to see much more from both sides of the ball this Saturday in Ann Arbor.
Anyone have the time? Jeez, I crack myself up… Seriously though, what a joke.
Whether it was done intentionally (it probably was) or not, what a slap in the face to the game and those kids at Western
Michigan. They won that game by out playing Michigan on both sides of the ball. And it was stolen from them.
