UCF – Soonerguys

Dave: Worry meter high — Jayhawks will bring their best shot

No one said it was going to be easy.

Some casual fans out there probably came into that game against UCF thinking, “UCF will be a cake walk, they’ve already lost three games. We’re going to roll them.”

Some of us knew better. Coming off the huge emotional win against texas. Having to go thru a bye week and the possible rustiness that comes with that.

The fact that UCF had the 4 th ranked offense in the country and had just gotten back their starting QB from injury. And of course a strong opposing head coach in Gus Malzahn. If ever there was a trap game…

There is no doubt Oklahoma would have lost this game last year.

A close contest, with the Sooners offense’s sputtering run game hindering its scoring early and an opponent that brought a top 5 offense to town.

But this year Oklahoma has found a way to win the close ones. And did so on a pleasant fall Saturday in Norman, defeating UCF 31-29 to grab its fourth conference win and remain unbeaten at 7-0.

They did it with a good defensive effort, holding UCF to just one first down in the first quarter and holding the nation’s No. 3 rushing offenses to 149 yards on 41 carries. UCF had average 246 yards per game coming into the contest.
