Tilting at Windmills - An Oklahoma Sooners Blog

This is a what have you done for me lately/complete resume poll. Each week I’ll be adjusting positions based on how teams have played, who they have played, and finally how they lost. Last week’s poll won’t have an appreciable impact on this week’s. A team ranked 19th, may stay 19th despite 3 teams losing ahead of them.

As always comments are appreciated and will be integrated into the final ballot

Upon my triumphant return to the blogosphere I do so trying to preview a highly uninteresting  huge matchup between the 5-4 aggies of Texas A&M and our 5-4 Oklahoma Sooners.  As Ponderos once said, I aplogize for my absence (shout out to you - 4 readers) but life does have it's priorities, one of them being sometimes you gotta take care of some shit you actually get paid for so there you go...as for the game... no comments

The University of Oklahoma, said Sam Bradford, is where he dreamed of being his whole life, where he envisioned becoming the next great Sooner. A university bereft of NFL stardom at his position, save for Troy Aikmanthe Henryetta, OK native transferred following a broken ankle in his fourth game quarterbacking the Soonersstill one where, with five Heisman winners and 148 All-Americans, the title of Greatest Anything remains virtually impossible to attain.

But by the time he was Sammy-in-sling, Slingin’ Sammy made a Heisman-sized case, becoming perhaps the most transcendent student-athlete the state has ever seen. Now Bradford, just shy of graduating, and having taken his final snap in that long-coveted crimson jersey, can be seen on Saturdays pacing the sideline in street clothes, his right AC joint no longer shouldering the heavy bookbag of national title expectations. But to his generation of Sooner nation, Bradford will now epitomize what is indeed great about Oklahoma football.

I felt like calling this a review would be criminally unfair.

Positives:

Defense. Just about every facet of it. In reality, it gave up 3 points. NU's offense is awful, and OU kept them awful.

Negatives:

The defense with NU in a total offensive shell was unable to score 7 points. Hard to call that a negative, but it was probably the only way OU was going to score a TD last night.

Kind of a strange game last night. Really OU's closest struggle at home during this current streak since Missouri in 2007 or the dreaded Baylor OT game in 2005.  A tale of 4 quarters, 1st and 4th Qtrs belonging to a dominating OU offense and OU defense, and then 2nd and 3rd Qtrs where KState exposed the OU defense and controlled the clock. Then we had a nightmarish glimpse back into 2008's kickoff return coverage.
