With a bat of the hand, Sooners hold on to Big 12 and playoff chances

by

Oh. My.

With one batted ball, the Sooners will play for the Big 12 Championship on Saturday in Stillwater.

That wasn’t so certainly in the final moments of the OU-TCU game on Saturday. But Steven Parker made it happen.

Parker batted away a 2-point conversion attempt by TCU in the closing seconds of Oklahoma’s 30-29 hang-on-for-dear-life victory over TCU Saturday night.

TCU had a chance to tie the game after Kohlhausen’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Emanuel Porter with 51 seconds remaining. Instead, Horned Frogs Coach Gary Patterson called a 2-point conversion play, but it was turned away by Parker.

“I just had a hard decision between staying on my receiver and coming to get the quarterback,” Parker said. “And I kind of just played in between, and just timed my jump right. It’s probably my most memorable moment in my football career.”

Great Sooner win over Baylor, but was the Playoff Committee watching at all?

I guess there are some stories floating around that Art Briles may have said something less than flattering to Bob Stoops during their post game hand shake. So called “insiders” have said that is the case, but will not elaborate.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Arrogant prick. At his post game press conference he couldn’t bring himself to congratulate the Sooners. Closest he got to any praise for OU was saying that OU was a “good team but we made too many mistakes and they got out of here with a win.” Translation: “I don’t want to give OU any credit, we lost the game, OU didn’t win it.”

You know, sometimes that is the case. But not this time Art, and you know it. The Sooners came out with a chip on their shoulder and after Baylor’s first drive, punched the Bears in the mouth.

Whenever Baylor threatened to take the lead, the Sooners answered. And boy are the excuses coming out now. “Well, that was our back up quarterback.” That’s a very different story than what I heard before the game. All I heard from Baylor fans and Briles himself was that Stidham was ready. He isn’t your normal freshman back up. He enrolled in January and knows the offense. The offense won’t skip a beat. He’s better than Russell…and on and on. Whatever.

Sooners must stay sharp and focused: on TCU

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.
