Sooners fans: Are Red River Rivalry chances too good to be true?
Somewhere between South Bend and Norman a transition occurred.
Going into the Notre Dame game, Sooner fans were hopeful for a good year, a 9-3 season or, if the stars aligned a 10-2 win-loss mark; and maybe an Alamo Bowl around Christmas time. But after the Sooners dispatched the Fighting Irish in convincing fashion those same fans now expect Oklahoma to win them all.
So, when the Sooners were clinging to a precarious three point lead late in the 4th quarter against TCU, the reaction to Brennan Clay’s 72 yard touchdown run was more a collective sigh of relief than it was an exuberant celebration.
