The Smoking Musket Ranks The Big XII After Week One

+

2. Oklahoma (48-16 over Louisiana Tech) The Sooners came into this season with national playoff contention talk surrounding the program. They did not disappoint on Saturday (unlike UCLA, who barely beat lowly Virginia). The Sooners pounded Louisiana Tech, a potential contender in the Conference USA west division. Tech should win eight or nine games this season, but couldn't compete with Oklahoma. Sooner running backs averaged almost five yards per carry and scored five touchdowns. The defense held Skip Holtz' team to 54 yards rushing on 29 attempts. OU's defense gave up just a field goal until the fourth quarter. Special teams blocked a punt and an extra point. Trevor Knight played an average game, completing only 19 of 34 pass attempts with one TD and one INT. With Tulsa on the schedule this week, the Sooners will not get tested again until they play Tennessee at home on the 13th.
