OKLAHOMA SOONERS vs. UCF Knights: Game Thread

Post by OU Chinaman »

...6 straight wins!
6 straight covers!
6th national ranking! Heady times.
Jacket weather in Norman for this latest rooster kickoff.
(And while probably not a popular opinion for the fans who attend & the Norman merchants , have to say frankly, I've come to both accept and no longer be annoyed by the 11:00 am KO's.

Expectations are off the charts! A runaway train!
My own certainly are.
(It's hard to be humble when you're a SOONER!)
Talk of the Final 4 CFP in the Final Year of the format.
Talk of similarity with the SOONER team of 2000. (Stoops 2nd, and OUr last Natl Title #7.))
Love this kind of talk!
Psychic energy generated by focused will and intention.
Energy that can be tapped by a team built on the marriage of desire and capacity. (Team 129)

OKLAHOMA is legitimately in the conversation now.
No disrespect intended but don't think UCF has the horses to stay with OU more than a half.
SOONER O-Line has steadily progressed, and anticipate a marked improvement in the SOONER run game.

Which will in turn lead to Gabriel's next chapter in the Hawaiian's scorching mid season crusade for the Heisman.
(Somehow always thought JA would be the next OU qb candidate for the Trophy.)

The Shutout is always my belief for excellent SOONER Defense!

I look for OKLAHOMA to be 7-0, with 7 straight covers by late afternoon tomorrow. :cool:


ROLL MACHINE, ROLL!!!

Our best “running back” through 6 games has been DG. I’d like to see that change today and see the true running backs have a big day against a UCF run defense that isn’t very good

Great point Tony. I have been waiting for a break out of one of our running backs this year. Never in all the years I have followed
the Sooners can I ever remember when we did not have a great running back. Maybe we do but I have not seen it yet. Our OL is
doing a great job this year. I just do not understand? If we don,t see that today we better be recruiting some. Maybe this is today?

I think its committee running. Waiting for Sawchuk to break out but they prioritize effirt during practice week plus a big job is pickikg ip blitzes and blocking too. Tawnee has run great imo he has earned some tough yards.

Walker 53-239/4.5/4TD
Major 60/226/3.8/1TD
Gabriel 43/208/4.8/5TD
Barnes 28/122/4.4/1TD
Arnold 12/54/4.5/1TD
Sawchuk 18/45/2.5/1TD

10:39 a.m.

Without Tawee Walker, it was running back Gavin Sawchuk who took the first team “snaps” in the pregame warmups before the Sooners headed toward the locker room. Marcus Major also rotated with Sawchuk and the rest of the starters.
