Numbers weren’t coming easily for visiting Oklahoma on Saturday night – on the scoreboard or on the field of play. After the opening half in what improbably ended up a Sooners’ Tennessee victory, OU looked left for dead, with only a somewhat feint hope of holding on to a respectable end-game escape.
Well, that was the thought piercing through the head of this Sooner fan, at least, as I painfully viewed the opening 30 minutes of the game I had written earlier could well be the make or break game in Oklahoma’s 2015 season with a sinking feeling rumbling about in my nervous stomach.
