Oklahoma's season is laying on the training table. That sucks.

Yikes.

[MRCboicgy]

what happened to Bradford? the roomie (Nebraska Alum) switched to his PPV game to watch the rest of his stupid halftime interviews

[nickerjones]

He got hit and landed on his shoulder wrong

[Clever_Iggy]

Initial reports are that Bradford's x-rays are negative and that it's a sprain of the "AC Joint" which usually requires a few weeks of rest.

Regardless, I'm not impressed with Oklahoma at all. I know it's early, but without Bradford (possibly) and in the Big 12, I don't see them being in contention for the national championship.

As I type this Jones gets hammered by BYU defense.

Oklahoma blocking scheme and oline is terrible. Texas will eat them alive.

If losing a game meant the same thing in both leagues that would be a sensical comparison, but it doesn't. We all know that if OU drops 2 games any chances at a national title are all but dead, and the way they look that doesn't seem like much of a stretch. A loss here alone means that they'll need help to get to the title game.

By the time they gel, red shirt QBs might be taking off their red shirts because of injuries. Not sure what Stoops is thinking not having a better blocking scheme in after his QBs take 4 big hits in 2 series. Keep a RB or FB in to help the young line.

A nice run by Oklahoma... oh wait, O-line holding.

Texas looks dominating.

When you play in a conference like the Big 12 or SEC, why would you schedule a legit game first week? Take on East Texas School for the Deaf, work out some kinks and then head into the meat of the schedule.

I know schedules are determined years in advance, but BYU is pretty legit year after year.

I'm guessing that this symbol ($$$$$$) has something to do with it

[nickerjones]

Hey at least is making our defense play and mature quickly....... The def looks leaps and bounds better than last year.... and the running seems to be getting something going ..

First game? Nah... I get scheduling a good non-conference game, but get some actual game experience first. It's not worth it to start off the season 0-1 because you wanted to make a little extra cake by taking on BYU (which I don't think was a big draw anyways).

Run up 50+ first week, build come confidence, and then take on a better team. I just don't get it.

[nickerjones]

what an INT!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I agree that it's not worth it, I'm just saying that the thinking behind booking such a game is probably the payday that comes with it. I'm sure Jones dished out plenty of cash for the first college game in his new cathedral.

[Saint Troy]

Bama/VaTech game is pretty damn good.

[nickerjones]

geez snap the damn ball and fall the foot or so into the endzone ....... frack

[ricoFlame]

BYU HUGE on the goal line there. WOW.

[Montana Moe]

Alabama undisciplined again, going to cost them a TD and the lead.

Roy Upchurch is a full grown man, wow!

[nickerjones]

Wow good drive by BYU....
