Dave: Time for redemption — Beat texas

by

After a solid if uneven 5-0 start for Oklahoma, it’s finally texas week. 

texas…man I hate those bastards. 

After last year’s debacle in Dallas, all of Sooner nation is looking for redemption this Saturday morning in the Cotton Bowl.  I have no doubt that Oklahoma will make a much better showing this year than last.  Having a healthy Dillion Gabriel alone will make this a close game. 

I still can’t get over how inept the Sooners were at the QB position without our starter last year. 

Fortunately, that issue seems to have been taken care of as I am more than confident in Jackson Arnold should Gabriel suffer an injury. 

And by the way, when the media talks about last year’s lopsided score, they never bring up that fact that we had a quarterback that would be hard pressed to start for the local junior college much less in the Cotton Bowl.  All they see is the score.

Gabriel fine tunes his play in 50-20 win

by

Quarterback Dillon Gabriel had his best game of the season on Saturday night, as the No. 14 Sooners rolled past a fiesty Iowa State club that gave the OU defense a tussle enroute to a more formidable opponent in next week’s contest at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas.

The Sooners won 50-20. Iowa State kept the game close in the first half. Oklahoma’s defense shut them out in the second.

Gabriel had 366 yards passing, three touchdowns in the air and two with his legs. He completed 67 percent of his passes. It was a fine tuning of quarterback play necessary before the Sooners cross the Red River to play its next opponent, the No. 3 Texas Longhorns, who are having their best season in decades.

Both Oklahoma and Texas enter the annual Red River Rivalry undefeated. Ticket prices for the October 7 game at the stadium plopped in the middle of the Texas State Fair Midway are hovering above $400 a piece.

Dave: Be wary of ISU ‘trap’ game

by

The defense continues to impress this year as they held the Cincinnati Bearcats out of the end zone and
to just two field goals.

The offense did just enough against a really good defensive line, maybe the best we see all year, to secure the win and move forward.

I understand that people want to see the offense put up PlayStation numbers every week like they did against Tulsa and Arkansas State. That is just not going to happen.
