NORMAN – On a steamy day in Norman that was supposed to be a steamy day in New Orleans, in front of a weirdly empty stadium, the Sooners did not punt and at one point scored 30 unanswered points . . . and had to hang on by their fingernails in the final minutes to eke out a 40-35 win over a game Tulane team. The Sooner defense forced four fumbles and recovered three of them, but Spencer Rattler threw a pair of interceptions. Gabe Brkic hit four field...

NORMAN – Oklahoma was going to destroy Western Carolina. That outcome was a given. The question was how they would go about it after a lackluster second half effort against Tulane that saw the Green Wave come from way down to threaten to win the game at the end. There was no such lack of focus this week, as the Sooners indeed destroyed Western Carolina by the final score of 76-0.

Spencer Rattler was sharp in one half of play, connecting on 20 of 26...

NORMAN - The Sooners defeated Nebraska in Norman Saturday by a score of 23-16 in a game that harkened back to the rivalry games of old, at least in terms of score and how quickly it was played. Despite the lamentations of those who expect things to go a certain way, this was an entertaining ball game throughout and a solid win over a Nebraska team that showed better than they have all year.

On an afternoon when possessions were at a premium (each team...

NORMAN – In a game that was a slog from beginning to end, the Sooners held their only lead as the clock hit zeroes in the fourth quarter, as Gabe Brkic’s 30-yard field goal on the final play gave Oklahoma a 16-13 Big 12-opening win Saturday night in Norman. The walk-off winner was believed to have been the first final play walk-off field goal in 127 years of Sooner football history.



The Sooner offense continued to struggle, mostly...

MANHATTAN, KS – in their first true road game of the season, against a pesky Kansas State team that had upset them two years in a row, the Sooners finally started looking like we all expected them to look, at least on offense, as they took a 17-point third quarter lead en route to a 37-31 win over the Wildcats. Other than a turnover and kneeling out the game at the end, OU scored every time they had the ball. The Sooners moved to 5-0 on the season and 2-0...

DALLAS – In the highest scoring OU-Texas game of all time, OU mounted its largest OU-Texas comeback of all time, and the largest comeback of all time by any team against Texas, winning the game 55-48 after falling behind by 14 in the first two minutes of the game and 28-7 in the first quarter. Spencer Rattler was benched in the second quarter after two turnovers in favor of true freshman five-star recruit Caleb Williams, who led the Sooners to victory in...

NORMAN – The Caleb Williams era at Oklahoma, to the extent it had not already started after last week’s game in Dallas, officially kicked off in stunning fashion in Norman last night, as the heralded true freshman led the Sooners to a 52-31 win over TCU in his first college start. Caleb Williams was 18-23 on the night (including at least two drops, one of which would have been a TD) for 295 yards and four TDs. That total does not include 45 yards in...

LAWRENCE, KS – Oklahoma beat Kansas in Lawrence Saturday 35-23. That was about the best that could be said about it. It was a win, albeit an ugly one, and ugly wins are infinitely better than the alternative. In this case, the alternative would have been losing to the five-plus touchdown underdog Jayhawks in what would have been one of the biggest upsets in modern college football history. And make no mistake, that was a very real possibility late into...

NORMAN – Oklahoma needed a get-right game before their only bye week of the season coming off a poor performance against Kansas. They got that and more Saturday afternoon in Norman, as freshman sensation Caleb Williams went 23-30 for 402 yards and an eye-popping six touchdowns to lead the Sooners to a 52-21 rout of Texas Tech. The Sooner defense looked much better with the return of Delarrin Turner-Yell and Jalen Redmond from injury. The Sooners moved...

WACO, TEXAS - Due to circumstances beyond the management's control, no report this week. We do have photos, though.
