Dave: A win over K-State will definitely mean the Sooners are for real
I would be more excited about Oklahoma’s blow out win against Nebraska last weekend, but when you really look at the Huskers and the games they’ve played so far…they really are bad.
I admittedly got caught up in the idea that the firing of Scott Frost might somehow light a fire under the big red of the north to give an inspired effort against the Sooners. And for a few series that looked like the case.
OU took the ball first and had to punt it away after just one first down. The Huskers then proceeded to drive the field on the Sooners and scored on an easy 32 yard touchdown pass to take the lead 7-0.
Right off the bat, things did not look great for Oklahoma.
But whatever juice Nebraska may have had coming out the locker room, they drank it all on those first few possessions.
After falling behind early, the Sooners opened up the playbook, and the flood gates, to score 49 unanswered points and cruise to a 49-14 stomping. Nebraska never came close to putting up a fight after that first offensive possession, only scoring once more in the final minutes of the game in garbage time.
