Strong Sooner defense and the Rattler-Mims connection equals bad day for the Horned Frogs

by

No cutesy play calling in the red zone. In fact there was some conservative play calling — yes from Lincoln Riley no less.  

Riley showed confidence in an improving defense. 

And he was right to do so, as the Sooners took home a 33-14 road win at TCU on Saturday — a win built on stingy defense and the deep-ball connection of Spencer Rattler to Marvin Mims.

Rattler threw for 332 yards and two touchdowns, with both of those receptions to Mims. Mims finished the day with 132 yards receiving, including a 61-yard score in the third quarter.

I have been in Los Colinas, Texas at a high-rise hotel with several hundred other people dressed in similar crimson garb reuniting friendships forged each eve of the best college football game ever played: Oklahoma-Texas game at Fair Park in Dallas.
 
But not this weekend. Not this year.
 
The year to forget — the COVID 19 year.
 
There is a football season this year?
 
About 20,000 fans will be in the Cotton Bowl for kickoff on Saturday at 11 a.m.
