A week ago, the Sooners swallowed the playbook and held on. One week later, at Arrowhead Stadium, playing an old rival for one more conference championship, and it was Paul Thompson throwing out of the end zone, on target most of the time. And when he wasn’t, well, who better than Malcolm Kelly to make one more circus catch to keep things going? 21-7. Wow! Even from the press box, a polite golf clap may be in order. No national championship, of course. But even on a day Southern Cal lost, leaving many to wonder where a one-loss Oklahoma might find itself in the BCS pecking order, what happened Saturday night against Nebraska at the Big 12 championship game has to be enough. It has to be because there may be nothing left. Maybe, come Jan. 1 in Glendale, Ariz., OU will find one more way to win. And then, at some point, it’s got to be like wringing blood from a turnip. One would think. But one could be wrong. Because the Sooners keep finding a way. So here they were at Arrowhead and Husker punter Dan Titchener had not simply dropped another one inside the 20 or inside the 10 or inside the 5. He dropped it at the 1. The Sooners took a chance and threw incomplete. Next, looking for a little breathing room, Chris Brown went backward, just not quite into the end zone. Nebraska was playing the run so tough, and had been the whole game, taking another shot up the middle was a surer route to a safety than taking another shot in the air.
