I haven’t watched a football game at the college or pro level just yet. There’s been too much playoff hoops and hockey for me to absorb. I don’t watch ranked teams play teams like Missouri State. I just don’t. It tells you little.
This was a fill in game. I’d much rather have seen OU play at Army or Tennessee to get a gauge on OU’s team.
But it is what it is in the days of football being played during the Covid pandemic.
Spencer Rattler will be fun to watch. We all knew that already. True frosh Mims and McGowan not as much.
Sooners take a week off then host Kansas State which lost to Arkansas State yesterday. Probably by then I’ll be ready to start watching games. We haven’t seen O State yet, but I think most would agree the Big 12 should pretty much be a three or four team race with OU, O State, and Texas battling for the title.
The irony for Mike Gundy is that his team this year might very well be his best since Boone’s team won the 2011 Big 12 championship.
So Spencer Rattler shined against Missouri State. I’m actually more interested to see how much sophmore Spencer Sanders has improved since last season when he had trouble taking care of the football. If Spencer Sanders settles in like he should we in Oklahoma should have a great deal of fun this college football season regardless of the pandemic.
Pretty good football team which went on to beat Andrew Luck’s Stanford team in the Fiesta Bowl. Of course back then, Mike Gundy wasn’t fawning over his mullet or ways to shake down his alma mater for more money every year. I think when this team won this championship he was actually making less money than Travis Ford.
He looks so much better without the mullet. No wonder Boone left $30 in his will for Mike Gundy to get a haircut.
