OU 28 OSU 13 .... 91-19-7

 “Not all of us who drink are poets. 

Some of us drink because we’re not poets.”

Dudley Moore – From the movie, Arthur

 

When you’re team is having the kind of season like the 2022 Oklahoma Sooners are in the midst of – a win, no matter how aesthetically challenging it may be – is a good win.

But make no mistake about it – the win last Saturday night was ugly. Yes, what started out Saturday night as being engaged to a beauty queen, somehow evolved into being married to an ugly fat girl. The fact that she is worth millions and her family owns a chain of liquor stores helps lessen the blow, but it won’t disguise the fact that if somebody told her to haul ass, it would take her two trips.

Beauty Queen

• The Sooners scored 28 points in the first quarter. Largest 1^st quarter in Bedlam history – which included 299 total yards and 12 first downs in first quarter
•  Dillon Gabriel was 14 of 18 for 224 yards and 2-touchdown in first quarter
• The Sooners defense came up with 4-turnovers
•  OU defense held explosive OSU offense to 1-touchdown in 19 possessions and 102 plays – including 6-sacks, 13-tackles for loss and 12-QB hurries
•  Held OSU to 7 of 24 on third and fourth downs.

·    OSU head coach, Mike Gundy, has no balls whatsoever. For the second game in a row, he has decided to punt in the fourth quarter down by two scores. Rumors of changing his name to Mike Punty could not be confirmed as of deadline time.

Fat/Ugly Girl:

• After the first quarter, Oklahoma had the ball 12 times (excluding the final kneel) but managed to run just 45 offensive plays and had to punt 10 times.
•  Clock management was so bad by the Sooners, that it was better to let OSU get a first down because it would run more of the clock then if OU had the ball.
• After the 1^st quarter, OU was outgained 423-135 in yards and 23-5 in first downs.
• After 1^st quarter, Dillion was 6 of 22 for 35 yards
• No possession after the 1st quarter lasted longer than 90 seconds of game time.
• Only scored 7-points off of 4-turnovers
• Dropped at least two other INT’s
• Sooners had a fumble inside the OSU 5-yard line
• Sooners were 1 of 14 on third down and fourth downs.

After Saturday night, the OU defense has now been on the field for 90 more minutes than the offense, which means the defense has played a game and a half more than the offense.

The win makes the Sooners 6-5 – and eligible for its 24^th consecutive bowl game – the second longest active bowl streak in the country. Ugly as it may’ve been … the Sooners won and that is a beautiful thing … especially in a season where if she were to break her leg, gravy would come out.
