Beware the David and Goliath story at Tulsa

by

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.

Let’s start with the cowpukes in Stillwater. Now, I heard a lot of talk about Sooner Magic after that contest. And to be fair, it was very impressive how our boys drove the field in under two minutes to win the game with our third quarterback of the game.

But make no mistake about it. That WAS NOT Sooner Magic. That was what was supposed to happen! That was the natural order of things! That was what has happened over 80 percent of the time in a series that dates back over a hundred years! It’s what every sane poke fan knows will almost always happen!
