Bradford had all the answers against UNT

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Dr. No.

Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls.

Pearl Jam’s Ten.

Go ahead and just try naming a finer debut than the one Sam Bradford put together Saturday night against North Texas. That stuff at the top may be a little silly, but limiting the exercise to college football seems awfully stifling after all that transpired.

All Bradford did was complete the best statistical half ever by a Sooner quarterback. All he did was complete 91.3 percent of his passes. The not-so Mean Green may be the worst team in college football, and after Saturday, Todd Dodge has little room to argue, but Nolan Ryan in his prime struggled to find the strike zone 21 of 23 times, which just happened to be Bradford’s completions and attempts in his very first game of college football.

Shall we call him Slingin’ Sammy?

Shall the fervor created by OU’s 79-10 victory over North Texas only be referred to as Sammania?

Has a star ever been born this quickly on Owen Field?

Adrian Peterson ran for 100 yards on the nose against Bowling Green. Josh Heupel engineered a 49-0 victory over Indiana State. But that was the halftime score Saturday night.

Don’t even bring up the last redshirt freshman to start behind center at Oklahoma. Whatever his name was, Bradford had a better time hitting open receivers than that guy had receiving the snap. That guy proved so unreliable Bob Stoops was pulling his hair out after sticking to a second-half strategy of not throwing a single pass just to slip by Tulsa.

But not our man Sam.

Oh, no.
