Oklahoma quarterbacks Paul Thompson and Rhett Bomar wanted to make Wednesday night’s scrimmage at Owen Field a final showcase of their skills.
It was the third of three outings OU scheduled for the preseason and the last chance to impress the coaching staff in a game-like setting before school begins and practices shorten.
Instead, the Sooner defense dominated the night.
The quarterbacks were sacked eight times and Bomar was saddled with two interceptions.
“The defense was very sound,” OU coach Bob Stoops said. “They tackled well and there were very few, if any busted assignments. That is what it ought to be.”
The Sooner offense didn’t bring all their weapons to the show. All-American running back Adrian Peterson and fullback J.D. Runnels were held out. Back-up running back Kejuan Jones was also missing due to a foot injury.
