A feel good day for Sooner fans
By halftime the Sooner fans sitting in rain puddles were celebrating not just Oklahoma’s impending win (the one that ended 64-0), but also the results of some other games.
As one explained, it’s a good day when both Notre Dame and Oklahoma State lose.
The Cowboys 45-35 loss to Houston won’t help the Sooners’ chances of moving up the polls, but it will shut up any OSU office mates who were basking in Top 10 sunshine all last week after the ‘boys clobbered Georgia and Oklahoma was beaten by BYU.
Had Ohio State pulled out a win over USC then that would have been the winning trifecta. It would also signal an impending Armageddon. The Trojans instead came from behind to win, 18 to 15.
In Norman backup QB Landry Jones looked solid, throwing three touchdowns to Ryan Broyles, completing 18 of 32, for 286 yards.
“That kids going to be a good quarterback,” Offensive Coordinator Kevin Wilson said of Jones.
Jones found a favorite receiver in Ryan Broyles, who netted 155 yards in seven catches.
Demarco Murray looked flashy, gaining 101 yards.
In all, this was the “feel good” game that Oklahoma needed to play last week. And while the OSU loss was not what the Sooners need (see my earlier blog post), there weren’t many in Norman Saturday night not celebrating it too.
