Land run start
Bob Stoops admitted early in the week that OU got away from the running game too soon in Lubbock. The Sooners seem intent on not making that mistake in Bedlam. We’ve played less than nine minutes at Owen Field, and OU has rushed for 91 yards on 13 carries. Allen Patrick has 66 yards on seven carries and Chris Brown 25 yards on six carries.
OU is not fooling around. There seems to be no obvious passing down. First series, 3rd-and-7, handoff to Brown for six yards, setting up a fourth-down conversion. Second series, 2nd-and-12, blast play up the middle to Patrick, who broke a tackle or two and dashed 41 yards. Then, 3rd-and-8, shotgun handoff to Brown for 12 yards to the 5-yard line, from where Patrick scored the next play.
The Sooners lost their attitude in Lubbock. They seem ready to get it back.
