SOONERS DEFENSE IS W-KRP IN CINCINNATI

WEEK 4 RECAP:
OKLAHOMA 31 CINCINNATI 29

The call letters of the fictional radio station in the late 70’s sitcom W-KRP in Cincinnati; were an obvious pun on the word crap. The situational comedy was based on the misadventures of the staff employed at the struggling station.


The misadventures of the OU defense offered television viewers the football rendition of W-KRP in Cincinnati last Saturday night…but I am willing to bet few in the Sooner Nation found much humor in it. When the nearly four hour television marathon was finally over, the Oklahoma defense had managed to contain the Bearcats to:  An eye popping 461 Total Yards. On the ground the Bearcats rushed for 156 yards on 32 carries...an alarming average of 4.9 per carry. Throught the air, Cincinnati got 305 yards and completed over 60% of their attempts. And just for good measure, the Sooners were penalized 13 times…5 of which were personal foul penalties.

Granted the original version of W-KRP in Cincinnati may not have been very funny either…but at least we got to see a steady diet of Lonnie Anderson’s cleavage. The only ‘busts’ we saw Saturday night were Sooner defensive assignments.

Oh, I almost forgot…at least OU won.  No, the victory at Paul Brown Stadium was not a thing of beauty....but it was a win...and a road win to boot. Things could be worse...we could have two loses and a QB with a bum shoulder like we did last year at this time.  The Sooners are coming to Dallas undefeated...but for them to leave town the same way the defense will need to improve in a hurry...cause after all...beating Texas is all Sooner fans really give a 'crap' about.

It's OU/Texas time. Buckle Up.
