Sooners in trouble?
Oklahoma is down 7-0 to Iowa State at halftime.
That’s not an insurmountable deficit by any means. The Sooners could score two or three times in a couple minutes, so a one-touchdown lead is nothing to this team.
But still, there’s reason to think the Sooners might be in trouble. The offense has mounted nothing close to a touchdown-scoring drive. Sam Bradford has been erratic, but his receivers have been lousy to poor. They’re run several bad routes and dropped a couple passes, most notably the one that went off Jermaine Gresham’s numbers, ricocheted into the air and was intercepted by the Cyclones.
To make matter worse, Gresham laid on the ground for several seconds instead of getting up and trying to tackle the guy who picked off the ball.
The Sooner defense has frankly stood as strong as possible. The offense has put them into some predicaments, and still, the Sooners have managed to hold the Cyclones to only a touchdown.
But can the defense hold them off forever?
This game smacks of OU’s game at Colorado. And we all know how that one turned out. Sure hands on the offense failed to make plays, the defense finally broke and the Buffaloes scored one of the season’s biggest upsets.
Will the Cyclones trump the Buffs?
Stay tuned.

In my opinion, the Sooners are playing like a bunch of wussies. I still love them though. I thought black and white athlete’s are suppose to be good. I know some Native athlete’s who would run circles around the present Sooners players. The Sooners need at leats one good gimmick play and other new plays. It seems like they run the same plays over and over. Get your head out of your ass son and start playing like champions. Oregon is ahead of the Sooners in the BCS now!!!! I will support you guys whether you lose the next bowl game or not………………………..
