Ominous sign: no run game
OU is not running the ball effectively. That is not good news. The Sooners have combined for 17 yards on eight tailback carries, and that won’t get it done in a big game. Missouri is loading the box, which smart teams do against the Sooners, and OU has made Mizzou pay only once, with the long shot to Malcolm Kelly. Sam Bradford is throwing well — 9 of 12, for 102 yards — though not for big chunks. But the Sooners will have to start running the ball to stay ahead of Missouri.

This was OU defense’s finest hour. They exposed Chase Daniel
as someone I would not want to share a foxhole with when things
go bad. OU would have beaten anyone Saturday night. Congratuations go to Brent Venables and staff.
