Dave: Sooner defense on the right track

by

I have heard too many people complain about the fact that the game against SMU last Saturday was close until the fourth quarter. 

Too many people thinking that SMU was supposed to be a cream puff because they were from a lesser conference, and we were supposed to win by 50 points. 

I had a discussion with another fan as the game wore on about what was happening on the field.  He claimed that we didn’t care what the score was.  We were holding back plays and being vanilla because we were saving everything for texas. 

I told him that’s fine if it were true, but we need to get this thing won first.  At the time SMU had just scored to pull within three points of the Sooners.

Sooners defense holds on to 27-21 win for Big 12 Championship

An anemic second half offense put the Sooners defense in the position of having to hold off an Iowa State comeback lead by scrambling and seasoned QB Brock Purdy.

The win was sealed by the OU defense — specifically a last minute interception of a Purdy pass by cornerback Tre Brown.

And so Oklahoma won its sixth straight Big 12 Championship in a tremendous 27-21 win over Iowa State before the Covid-limited 17,827 spectators at AT&T Stadium on Saturday in Arlington, Texas. 

Brown’s interception capped the game, but his important kickoff returns also factored heavily in a field position game that favored the Sooners most of the second half.

Sooner fans were on edge late in the game as Iowa State kept gaining momentum. With 5:15 left in the game it looked like the Sooners defenders might be wearing down, holding onto a narrow 3-point lead, despite a stellar pass rush led by tackle Perrion Winfrey that never gave Purdy much comfort in the pocket most of the game.
