Dave: Rattler better than you think, but still not there yet

by

The rumblings got a little louder after the Nebraska game last Saturday.  What’s wrong with the offense?  Why don’t we throw the ball deep?  Caleb should be starting!

It seemed like the usual Oklahoma blow out. But there was nothing usual about this.

In the hours before kickoff there was no backed-up traffic in the southbound lanes of I-35.
