Sooners must stay sharp and focused: on TCU

by

Sooner Magic struck early and won over the Luck of the Irish last Saturday in South Bend exercising some ghosts of the past in the process.

The “Magic” came in the form of back to back interceptions off the Irish resulting in a 14 point lead with only 3 minutes gone in the game. No doubt that was a big factor in the contest, but to me the more exciting part was the play of both our offensive and defensive lines.

The defense harassed Rees all day resulting in the aforementioned interceptions and poor throws throughout the game. He was never comfortable and it showed.

Even more impressive was the offensive line. Going up against two All-Americans, one of which might be the best defensive lineman in college football, Oklahoma rushed for over 200 yards. Against the same team we only got 15 yards against last year, at home.

The Belldozer story continues with huge win at Notre Dame

Moments after the final gun, Oklahoma center Gabe Ikard summed up the status of his teammate who lead the Sooners to their 35-21 win over Notre Dame.

“The tale of the Bell Dozer keeps growing,” Ikard said.

He was referring to quarterback Blake Bell, who shrugged off cramping muscles to return to the helm in the fourth quarter to put the end to the Irish with a strike to WR Sterling Shepard — who streaked 54 yards to the end zone for a touchdown.

Earlier, Bell, with great protection from Ikard and the rest of the offensive line, found Lacoltan “Scuba” Bester for a 26 yard touchdown to answer Notre Dame’s only first half score.

Bell finished the day by completing 22 of 30 passes, for 232 yards and two touchdowns. He ran for 62 yards against an Irish defense that stymied the Sooners last year by holding them to only 15 yards rushing the entire game.
