We Must Protect this Couch! (Fiesta Bowl Game Thread)

Mattsite__2__tiny by ccmachine on in Football

I'm tired of talking about Boise State. I'm tired of the talk that USC deserves to be #1 because they beat a team in the Rose Bowl that would have finished 6th in the Big 12. I'm ready to talk about the Sooners and the Mountaineers.

There is a lot on the line tonight for Oklahoma. A win would allow them to finish the season as the 2nd or 3rd ranked team in the nation and an impressive win could split the national championship.

This is the biggest game for the Sooners since the Orange Bowl following the 2004 season. Here's to hoping that Big Game Bob makes a comeback tonight.


If Sooner fans get their way there will be no couch burning tonight.

We'll be here all night posting our comments on the game so feel free to join us to leave your own comments before, during and after the game.

Malcolm Kelly was on the field, in pads, warming up just a little while ago. Hopefully that is a sign that he's healthy enough to play.

Ray Finkle
Misses a field goal for WVU.

Now the offense has GOT to move the ball.

Bradford looks shaky
But you really can't blame him because he isn't getting any time.

by ccmachine on Jan 2, 2008 7:45 PM CST   0 recs

Bradford
has to get quicker on his decision-making....

could
have been flagged for that hit on the incomplete pass.

oh, he hyper-extended his knee or pulled a hammie.

Looked like a hammie to me
Defense deserves a ton of credit for holding them to a field goal.

damn
ran into his own guy... otherwise he'd have scored.

ouch.

Well
At least they are keeping them out of the end zone

The First Quarter Could Have Been Better
But then again it could have been a lot worse

by ccmachine on Jan 2, 2008 8:08 PM CST   0 recs

Bradford
is struggling. take him out of the equation, start running the ball right at their defense.

they'll move their linebackers up and inside and then you can start screwing with them.

Would have preferred a touchdown
but at least the Sooners are on the board

by ccmachine on Jan 2, 2008 8:30 PM CST   0 recs

oh
man....

what the hell. they just allowed a guy who's a little faster than me to score on a long run.

the linebackers got pulled to the side and too far upfield to make the play when he cut back.

he cut back.a fullback cut back. nice play by him.

Take the field goal
and make it a one score game

by ccmachine on Jan 2, 2008 8:42 PM CST   0 recs

now
the offenses are moving.

Oklahoma needs to keep them out of the end zone here. still giving up big plays....

and there's a wide open receiver for the touchdown.

shit.

second half
Oklahoma needs to come out and get the run going. there's plenty of time left in this game, but they need to control the game from here on out.

Disappointing first half
Hope this turns around in the second half.  It is bad enough being a Sooner in Austin without losing this bowl game.

by chrisabo on Jan 2, 2008 9:22 PM CST   0 recs

They are going over the stats on Sooner Radio
Not even sure the worst one, but 1 of 8 on third-downs is pretty bad.

Let's turn this thing around with a big stop here and start it up.  

They also reported that Slaton is definitely out, although not sure that is really that bad for WVU with Devine in there.

by chrisabo on Jan 2, 2008 9:24 PM CST   0 recs

Nice blitz
Now we need another good return to set us up.

by chrisabo on Jan 2, 2008 9:27 PM CST   0 recs

three and out
great start to the second half. good pressure. one stupid mistake, but it didn't cost them.

Bradford go!
