No worries this week, Sooners should roll over Cyclones

by

Not much to be said about the Kansas game. The Sooners took care of business as they were expected to do.

Unfortunately they couldn’t keep away from the injury bug as Alvarez went down and is doubtful for the Iowa State game. Zanchez is also listed as doubtful for Saturday.

However Stoops said that Bond and Evans have a good chance to play against the Cyclones. But why not rest them against Iowa State to make sure they are ready for Baylor? We shouldn’t need any of them to take care of the Clones.

And this is where I might stray from some of the talking heads about Saturday night’s game at Owen Field. After Iowa State shut out texas 24-0 this past Saturday, everyone started to talk about how the Sooners need to be weary of Iowa State. They are a good team that beat texas and after all, the longhorns beat OU. So the Sooners are going to have a fight on their hands? Bull.

If the Sooners don’t beat them by at least 21 points I will be disappointed. They are not a good team. Usually you are what your record says you are. They are 3-5 with wins over Northern Iowa, Kansas and texas.

Sooners give impressive performance against Tech, this is a no stress week at KU

GOOD GRIEF WHERE WAS THIS TEAM AGAINST TEXAS!!!! ??

Ok. I hope I got that out of my system. But doesn’t it seem that both these wins after the Cotton Bowl sting just a little bit? It’s still hard to let that one go.

The Sooners turned in their second impressive performance since the Debacle in Dallas in wiping the smile off pretty boy Kingsbury’s face and beating down the Red Raiders.

The offense ran all over the Tech defense as Perine had over 200 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns and Mixon added over 150 yards and 2 more touchdowns of his own. Mayfield was solid in throwing two touchdown passes, however for only a little over 200 yards.

But again that was because we were busy gashing the Red Raiders for over 400 yards rushing total. Granted, the Tech defense is pretty bad, but still.

Bad blood and all, which OU team will show up against Texas Tech Red Raiders?

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

In keeping with the Halloween season the Sooners have come to resemble this classic. How in the world can they look so inept in the Cotton Bowl and so perfect in Manhattan? It’s beyond me.

But everything went OU’s way in dismantling Snyder’s boys in the Little Apple. Offense, defense, players and coaches could do no wrong. It helped a little bit that for some reason the Wildcats came out trying to throw the ball all over the field. First of all, that’s not even remotely their strength. And secondly, did they not watch the tape from OU’s debacle in Dallas? Texas ran all over us. Why would you at least not try that first?

I guess I could understand trying to catch the Sooners off guard, but they know their QB can’t throw the ball. Very strange. And by the middle of the second quarter it was too late to try anything else. Game was over.

Anyway, a great game for the Sooners, which now begs the question, which Oklahoma team shows up to play Texas Tech Saturday afternoon at Owen Field?
