Sooners go on scoring/interception feast in 66-17 win over Golden Hurricane
After fumbling the opening kickoff return, Jalil Farooq quickly corrected Oklahoma’s course on the next possession, nabbing a 34-yard Dillon Gabriel touchdown pass to kick off a 66 point feast for the Sooners at Tulsa’s mostly crimson-populated sold out H.A. Chapman stadium on Saturday.
Oklahoma defeated the Golden Hurricane 66-17 on the Sooners first return to T-Town since a 52-7 win in 2014.
Farooq’s 34-yard TD catch from Dillon Gabriel was just the beginning. He caught another five passes and ended the day the leading pass receiver at 126 yards.
Gabriel completed 28 of 31 passes for 431 yards and a five touchdown day.
Dave: Sooner defense on the right track
I have heard too many people complain about the fact that the game against SMU last Saturday was close until the fourth quarter.
Too many people thinking that SMU was supposed to be a cream puff because they were from a lesser conference, and we were supposed to win by 50 points.
I had a discussion with another fan as the game wore on about what was happening on the field. He claimed that we didn’t care what the score was. We were holding back plays and being vanilla because we were saving everything for texas.
I told him that’s fine if it were true, but we need to get this thing won first. At the time SMU had just scored to pull within three points of the Sooners.
