Dave: Sooners need to take their new-found consistency to Provo

Will the real Oklahoma Sooners please stand up?

After 2 road games in which Oklahoma played like it was, well…. last year, the Sooners ran a decent West Virginia team off the field Saturday night to the tune of 59-20.

Everything clicked against the Mountaineers in a contest that Brent Venables called probably their most complete game of the season. They truly played complimentary football.

After going 7-0, even with a close call against UCF, I still thought there was a good chance OU could go undefeated this year.

Dreams of 2000 lingered in our collective heads. Second year of a new head coach. Left-handed quarterback. We were reaching with the similarities but hoping that we would catch lightning in a bottle a second time.

However, sloppy play and even worse play calling put a stop to that last Saturday in Lawrence.
