He’s human after all
Look, down on the field. It’s Superman. It’s RoboQuarterback. No, it’s Sam Bradford, human being. Sudden Sam finally turned human in the second quarter. On back-to-back throws, Bradford first threw incomplete, then threw an interception. Both have been rare sightings in this Sooner season. Bradford’s incompletion was his first of the day, ending a streak of 21 straight completions spread over two games. But that’s not even Sudden Sam’s best streak of this young season; he hit 22 straight passes against North Texas and Miami. The incompletion was a bad throw, but not a dangerous toss, a deep ball to a well-covered Malcolm Kelly. The throw was well in front of him but had no chance of being intercepted. Not so with Bradford’s next toss. A Utah State pass rusher popped Bradford as he threw, and the ball sailed high to Juaquin Iglesias, who got a hand on it and caused a deflection. Utah State defenders Roy Hurst and Daryl Fields collided as they scrambled for the ball, but Hurst held on to pin Bradford with his first collegiate interception. Still, Bradford’s start — 11 of 13, 167 yards, two TDs, the interception — should keep him safely ahead of Louisville’s Brian Brohm in the NCAA’s passing efficiency ratings.
