Even BYU sportswriters amped for Dallas
How big is Oklahoma-Brigham Young in Dallas for the Cougar faithful?
So big, in fact, that one Deseret News sportswriter has declared that he is paying some of his own way to Dallas to cover the game for the paper.
BYU has already sold its allotment of 7,500 tickets, while the projections are that OU could send up to 50,000 fans to the game.
Because of the stadium and quality opponent, this should end up being the most anticipated season-opener for OU since Bob Stoops’ first game as the Sooners’ coach against Indiana State in 1999.

OU will definitely have their hands full. Venables defense has never done
well against a run-pass quarterback like Tebow, McCoy, OSU, K-State, as
a few examples, and BYU will bring a bag of stuff to confuse an already
weak defense. Stoops will not be able to give up easy scores with his special
teams he coach’s, they will have to play better than they have the last 2
years. The mountain west conference had a better non-conference winning
percentage than the Big 12 with Utah and BYU and Bowl wins. There are
still a lot of fans that remember the ’84 season when OU objected to BYU
winning the “mythical” NC. They named a sewage treatment plant in Provo,
the Barry Switzer Treatment Facility. I just hope Stoops understands that
this is an important game, but at the same time the reality of it is, he hasn’t
been a great road coach in the past 5-6 seasons, whether it is the
Cotton Bowl or a Bowl game. It would be great to win.
this will be a great game with byu wide open attack too oklahoma spread offense as well. iam looking forward too this game and my mormon friend who i invited too go with me. he is on a missionary from utah. realisitic this game should have been in norman, guess jerry jones had something too do with this game schedule in his new stadium. it does not take a rocket scientist too figure that out. as long as my sooners kick there butt in dalllas thats ok. once a sooner always a sooner-ou-johnny in megargel,tx.
I love Jake’s stuff, this isn’t a dig on him, but The Oklahoman needs someone to QC this paper. This is NOT an article!!!!!!! It’s a quick thought. Maybe, instead of having 25 of these thoughts, you should combine them and have an actual article.
