The Army Black Knights stormed into Norman and nearly pulled off an upset of titanic proportions. In fact, it would have been Army’s first victory over a top-10 opponent in 55 years.
Yes, Army runs an unconventional, run-heavy scheme. And yes, it’s difficult for any team, no matter how elite, to prepare for such an offense. But the way that the Army Black Knights rolled into Norman and executed their offense should give pause to anyone who felt that after the first couple of games, the Sooner defense was finally turning the corner.
If the Iowa State game was a warning bell, this was a five-alarm clarion call.
