Sooners chop the Gators 55-20 — defense trashes Trask

by

As the 9,000 Oklahoma fans in crimson launched into a mocking “S-E-C” chant, the giant videoboard at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas said all that was needed to be said about the Sooners’ beat down of the Southeastern Conference runners up.

A final Goodyear Cotton Bowl score:

No. 6 Oklahoma 55  No. 7 Florida 20.

The Sooners put on a record-breaking blow out performance of the Florida Gators, lead by Rhamondre Stevenson’s 186 yards on 18 carries, Spencer Rattler’s 14 of 23 passing for 246 yards and a stingy Oklahoma defense grabbing three first quarter interceptions from Florida’s Heisman finalist QB Kyle Trask.

Coach Lincoln Riley got his first bowl victory as a head coach. His Sooners had lost three previous bowl games in the College Football Playoff.

It was also his first win against an SEC team in post season.

Bedlam ends in blowout, OU wins 41-13

A tenacious defense and an offense that stumbled mid-way but righted itself turned Bedlam into a blowout as the Sooners continued their domination of the series against the Cowboys 41-13 under the prime time lights on Saturday.

It was the 90th win for Oklahoma over Oklahoma State in the 115 years the in-state rivals have played. 

“We wanted to play tonight like we were the hunter and not the hunted,” Oklahoma Coach Lincoln Riley said. “We had to play aggressive. You have to go take it to beat a good team like this. And we certainly did that.” 

Although the Oklahoma offense has lead the team in recent years, this Bedlam game showed an emerging defensive strength that led to the Sooners playing complimentary football in a manner long hoped for by fans.

Dave: Few worries this week — Sooners on a roll

It’s all coming together.

The Sooners rolled into Lubbock on Halloween night and went Michael Myers all over the Red Raiders like they were a bunch of promiscuous teenagers partying behind their parent’s backs.

The final tally was 62-28, and it wasn’t that close with Tech scoring two junk touchdowns in the fourth quarter against Sooner back ups.

Joining the fun after being back from their six game suspensions were Rhamondre Stevenson and Ronnie Perkins. And did they make up for lost time. Stevenson finished the night with 87 yards on 13 carries and 3 touchdowns and was named co Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week.

He looked like a man among boys on that field. He’s so big and muscular. Six feet and 246 pounds coming at you. He always falls forward for like three more yards when finally being tackled. Marshawn Lynch comes to mind.
