I would wager that they were trying to establish the run to give that new o-line some confidence. It's a lot easier to do so when you're driving off the ball and smashing people up field than sitting back and having linebackers and d-lineman smash you.
Sooner nation should probably recognize that in that first game, Oklahoma's o-line couldn't pass block a high school team. Run the ball is going to be the mantra until that changes and to make sure Bradford/Jones makes it out alive.
