Dave: OU offense to be put to the test in Ames

by

We figured out at least one thing from the win against the Kansas Jayhawks a week ago Saturday.  Dillion Gabriel is by far and away the MVP of this team. 

Zero points against the shorthorns without Gabriel, 52 against Kansas with him. 

And that wasn’t because the texas defense are world beaters.  Far from it.  It’s just that our back up QB situation is really that bad right now. 

This team will go as far as Dillion and the offense will take them because the defense is still very much a work in progress.

Big play defense seals the deal for Sooners’ 28-21 win over Iowa State

Big plays on defense helped Oklahoma ward off a Kolar-esque Cyclone attack and capture a 28-21 win over Iowa State on Saturday.

A hard hit on ISI QB Brody by cornerback Lawrence Key dislodged the ball and allowed Jalen Redmond to scoop and score on a 42-yard fumble recovery to give the Sooners a second quarter lead that the Cyclones were never able to overcome.

But with 2:57 left in the game, Iowa State managed to narrow the gap, scoring on a two-yard Purdy-to-Kolar pass that capped a 75-yard drive made up mostly of passes to the Norman North alum Charlie Kolar.

In the closing seconds of the game the Sooners defense ended the Cyclone threat on a tipped pass and interception by Pat Fields, ending the game in fitting fashion on a big defensive play.

Dave: OU and ISU — the two underachievers of the Big 12

by

After the Baylor game, I asked my brother and sister in a text what their thoughts were.

My brother’s reply was “We are what they thought we were.” And my sister’s was “This team has so much talent but continues to under achieve.”

I’m tempted to just end this article right here and say the Worry Meter is at 90% this week and have a good day. I think those two replies sum up Oklahoma’s season perfectly.

We as fans didn’t want to admit it, but 9-0 was fool’s gold. The signs were right there in front of us.

Close calls against several mediocre to bad teams. Teams Oklahoma were expected to bury at the start of the season.
