Tough second half Poke defense slows down Sooners, holds on to 37-33 Bedlam win

by

Oklahoma’s winning this season has been in large measure due to the stellar play of true freshman QB Caleb Williams, but experience trumped raw talent as a senior-laden Oklahoma State defense stifled Williams and the Sooners offense in the second half, holding on to a 37-33 win in Bedlam.  

The loss knocks the No. 10 Sooners out of the Big 12 Championship game and eliminates them from any college football playoff consideration.

Oklahoma has won the last six Big 12 championships.

Williams was 20 of 39 passing for 252 yards and three touchdowns. And Oklahoma running back Kennedy Brooks carried for 22 runs for 139 yards. 

But most of that offensive production occurred in the first half, which ended in a 24-24 tie, but with the underdog Oklahoma carrying the momentum into the locker room.

The Sooner offense was shut out in the second half.  Oklahoma only scored on a muffed punt recovery and a safety.

About twice a decade little brother jumps up and pulls one over on big brother.

That’s what most signs point to this year in Stillwater as a lopsided Bedlam series seems to be favoring the upstart okie pokies this go around.

I had hopes the Sooners would bounce back from an ugly loss in Waco and finally round into form to bury a fading Iowa State team that has had its own disappointing year.

Well, Oklahoma won a tight game and the defense really showed out in my opinion. Which gives me some hope for Saturday.

But the offense…oh the offense. Caleb went 8-18 for 87 yards and 1 touchdown and 1 interception against Iowa State.

Mad Dog: A Bedlam *year* comes down to Saturday in Stillwater

So, it’s Bedlam week. The days leading up to The Big Red’s game against its second most-hated rivalry – The Oklahoma State Cowboys – A.K.A The Cowpokes, The Cowpukes, and a host of other derogatory names that best be left unwritten and unpublished here.

It will be a game of the ages – if both teams play up to their capabilities.

For our beloved and sometimes infuriating Sooners, however, the 2021 football season has been three months of Bedlam. One game after another.

The Tulane game…I can’t, I just can’t. Kansas? KANSAS! For the love of everything holy! What the heck was that? Time to erase that from my memory. Were’s my vodka and spicy tomato juice?

Texas? Well, it was a miracle at the time, but seeing UT’s performance the rest of the season, perhaps that should have set alarm bells off loud and clear through the entire Sooner Nation. Texas stinks so bad Longhorn fans are already trying to massacre coach Steve Sarkisian in a pubic scene reminiscent of the Alamo slaughter.
