Dave: Williams cements claim to starting OU QB, but NFL still watching Rattler

by

Lincoln Riley matched Bob Stoops record of 5-1 through his first six games against the hated longhorns last Saturday at the Cotton Bowl. 

In what might have been the greatest game ever played between the rivals, the texas longhorns new “triplets” had stat lines that looked like a video game, but in the end, it didn’t matter. 

Quarterback Casey Thompson threw for 388 yards and 5 touchdowns. 

Running back Bijan Robinson carried the ball for 137 yards and 1 touchdown and receiver Xavier Worthy caught 9 passes for 261 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Sooners — aka the “Cardiac Kids” — managed a 37-31 win in Manhattan to continue their season unbeaten. The Wildcats had won the last two contests with the Sooners.

In getting the win, Rattler sent a message back home to the student section:  No one is replacing me.

The second-year quarterback, whose Heisman hopes have dimmed with Oklahoma’s offense struggling to victories, led the Sooners to this victory over a tough Kansas State Wildcats in a tough environment — one of the loudest in the conference. 

K-State’s very vocal purple-clad student section chanted throughout the game:
