Landry Jones attempting a pass against Tulsa.
After winning their first game of the season, the Sooners looked to regain focus and take down the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. The Sooners showed no signs of weakness against Tulsa as they came out fired up and ready to play. Many people thought that Tulsa could upset Oklahoma, but the Sooners made sure that wouldn’t happen. While Tulsa ran thirty-one out of their first thirty-three plays in Oklahoma territory, they came out with zero points because of turning the ball over to Oklahoma. The Sooners took advantage of these early turnovers that the Golden Hurricane committed by capitalizing on them with scores. Oklahoma’s defense looked stout and caused chaos for the Tulsa quarterback G.J. Kinne. G.J. struggled to get the offense in sync, and he committed three turnovers. Kinne threw two interceptions and had a fumble, which showed that OU’s defense was aggressive and focused. Tulsa finished the game with only 269 total yards and a big goose egg on the score board. On the offensive side of the ball for Oklahoma, Landry Jones played with tremendous poise and was connecting on all cylinders. Although Jones threw two interceptions, he had a total of 336 yards passing and six touchdowns, which put his name in the Sooner record books. Landry broke the previous record of five touchdown passes in one game with his six touchdowns. Ryan Broyles looked sharp as he finished with 128 yards receiving and three touchdowns. Brandon Caleb emerged as a potential starter because he stepped up and finished with 104 yards receiving and two scores. Oklahoma’s running game was decent by finishing with a total of 193 yards rushing. Demarco Murray had the highlight of the game with his 13 yard scamper into the end zone by spinning twice along the same sideline and then leaping over the goal line by doing a front flip. Oklahoma didn’t let up at all and compiled their second straight shutout victory in a row by winning 45-o. This marked the 26th straight home win for the Sooners at Memorial Stadium. The Sooners have a bye week to get prepared for their next game against the Miami Hurricanes. Despite losing to Virginia Tech, Miami will be ready for the Sooners, and Oklahoma knows it will be difficult to go to Miami and come out with a victory. Can the Sooners march out of Miami with a victory? I think they can, but it depends on how OU’s defense plays and whether Landry can keep up his good playing.
