Sooners’ futility a one-day deal or could it
Column by Sports Editor Clay Horning

The Norman Transcript

If you’re an Oklahoma fan, and right about now you’re wondering if the Sooners might somehow find their way back into the national-title chase, because, really, you never know, everybody might lose a game, it could happen … stop, and stop right now.

Start worrying if the Sooners can handle Tulsa.

Harsh? Sure.

Negative? Duh.

Warranted? Oh, yeah.

Put it this way.

I know what happened at Owen Field Saturday was nothing like the forgettable John Blake seasons. I remember them well. They were off the curve. We may never see anything like them again in college football. And yet, watching the proceedings against the Horned Frogs, taking it all in and giving it a moment of thought, it’s just as clear OU has never looked this bad since.

The Sooners didn’t quit.

Quitting would imply they might have won if they hadn’t.

They just weren’t very good. And it may be because they aren’t very good.

Defensively, the second half was sharp.

OU’s first drive of the third quarter was impressive.

And that was it.

All she wrote.

The rest was fizzle.
