Just for the record , On Oklahoma sports talk radio , The Sooner nation is questioning why the Sooners have the returning heisman trophy winning QB and we come out and just run the ball for the 1st half....
the topic got me to thinking why they did that as well .... but anyway i guess the topic can be discussed here

Well early in the season establishing your ground game is usually a priority, especially when your QB is a pretty stable position. There's also the desire to establish run in the first half and wear down the D to open things up for later in the game. Whether that was the thought or not is obviously not something we know, but there are logical reasons for the strategy.
Also, maybe Bradford was already nursing an injury of some sort.
