Dave: Bring on the SEC, but worry meter jumps

by

To me the win against Tulsa was very impressive. That could have been a huge trap game. On the road against a big underdog. Bad weather. The game before the big bad SEC comes to Norman.

OU could have really struggled to get up for that game. But they took to the field in a business like manner and they, well…took care of business.

The offense didn’t miss a beat scoring touchdowns on three of their first four possessions. And the defense continued to dominate in all phases and limited Tulsa to 7 points and just over 300 yards of offense. Most of it in garbage time.

Trevor continues to improve with every game and the Belldozer got the first touchdown reception of his career to become one of just a handful of Sooners who have passed for, rushed for and caught a touchdown. It was just a very impressive performance, as it was supposed to be.

And now, as I stated earlier, the big bad SEC rolls into Norman in the form of the Tennessee Volunteers.

I can’t begin to tell you how sick I am of this whole Stoops vs the SEC that has been so overblown by the media. All he ever did was give his opinion about the way the media has spun the supposed dominance of the SEC.

Beware the David and Goliath story at Tulsa

Cool weather can’t get here soon enough. Man it was hot in the stands Saturday. Especially if you were like me and had seats on the east side. The only thing that made it bearable was of course watching the Sooners in a solid win to kick off the season.

Nothing fancy as I would be surprised if Josh turned past page one in the playbook. Trevor Knight managed the offense well with some nice passes to Shepard, who is easily the most valuable player on the offense.

That’s not to say Knight or the running backs aren’t pulling their weight. In fact, this trio of backs has the potential to be the best group that Stoops has ever had. They have a chance to do something special this season.

The one thing that concerns me is a second wide receiver stepping up and taking pressure off Shepard. If someone jumps in and becomes a legitimate deep threat…look out.
