Big 12 championship notepad Transcript Staff The Norman Transcript Allen Patrick’s 2-yard touchdown run came 48 seconds into the game and was the fastest score in Big 12 championship game history. The touchdown eclipsed the previous mark, also owned by the Sooners.
In 2003, Kejuan Jones scored on a 42-yard run 2:49 into the game. That was the Sooners’ only score in a 35-7 loss to Kansas State. OU added its second touchdown when Paul Thompson hit Malcolm Kelly for a 66-yard pass midway through the first period. It marked the two fastest touchdowns in title game history in only 9:25. It also topped a Sooner record. In 2004, OU only needed just 9:31 to take a 14-0 lead on Colorado. Third-down conversions Oklahoma had a string of six straight third downs of 10 or more yards in the second and third quarter. The drought finally ended when Thompson hit Jermaine Gresham for a 35-yard pass on a third-and-10 from the OU 1. Running nowhere A lot was made about the importance of OU’s and Nebraska’s running games. Both averaged over 180 yards per outing in the regular season. But neither mattered much Saturday night. The Sooners rushed for a season low 42 yards, while the Huskers only managed 84. However, OU quarterback Paul Thompson attempted a career high 34 passes. Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor might also need to ice his arm today. He attempted 50 passes, tying a Big 12 title-game record for most attempts. Field position
