Previewing Oklahoma State - A Look Back At The Last Time They Played The Sooners

by ccmachine on Nov 22, 2010 12:06 PM CST in Oklahoma Sooners Football

With a 9-2 record going into last season's Bedlam football game, Oklahoma State was a win shy of having a 10 win season and most likely their first ever bid to play in a BCS bowl game. By the end of they game they were looking at a scoreboard that read 27-0 in favor of the Sooners with all of their hopes dashed.

Not only did the Cowboys not score but they only managed 109 total net yards and 6 first downs against Oklahoma's defense. The Sooners held OSU to 0-14 on third downs and an average of 2.1 yards per offensive snap. Jeremy Beal led the charge for Oklahoma's defense with 10 tackles, two of them being for loss.

Offensively the Sooners weren't spectacular but they were good enough to get the job done. Landry Jones completed 54% of his passes for 224 yards. DeMarco Murray scored twice while rushing for 72 yards on 13 carries (5.5 YPC Average). Possibly the most amazing thing about Oklahoma's offensive performance was that earlier in the week Trent Williams suffered a concussion and became Oklahoma's fourth starting offensive lineman to no be able to participate in the game. With a makeshift line the Sooner offense was able to pile up 367 total net yards and an average of 4.4 yards per play.

The player of the day undoubtedly was Ryan Broyles who racked up 316 all-purpose yards and scored on an 87 yard punt return.

I suppose prayer is the only option to hope we're in a position of another Trent Ratterree tackle to maintain a shutout?

Last years game was great

but that was last year. This year looks to be more of a shoot out. I hope our defense is better that theirs and makes the deference. Turnovers will be big of course.

I just watched a clip of Stoops on the news at 10:00pm

he was speaking about Finch and Box. The coach reported that both practiced today blah blah blah, but what got my attention was Stoops himself. The dude has some very serious bags under his eyes. He also looked really tired. Maybe he hasn’t slept palnning and scheming all night and day on the bedlam game. Who knows, not me, it was just my observation.

Let's hope KW and BV have bags twice as big then (that sounded really dirty for some reason)

actually it was funny

it would really nice if KW grew a pair to begin with. From my ‘opinionated observation’ KW does not have a warrior go for the throat take no prisoners attitude. But neither does anyone on the coaching staff and assistant staff. I surely don’t want the attitude of style displayed by coach Potty Mouth’s of the South and North, but our dudes need to display something. Maybe a sense of URGENCY.

familiar faces

I see a lot of the same guys from OU who will be playing this year. Unfortunately for us, OSU looks like a completely different team. I just want it to be Saturday already.
