The Sooners rebounded from their only loss this season, to Texas in the annual Red River rivalry game, with a strong offensive and defensive effort and a resounding 52-27 victory over TCU on Saturday. In its last three meetings with TCU, Oklahoma has put up 38, 41 and 52 points, respectively, against the team believed to be the best defensive team in the conference.
Through four conference games, Texas remains the only undefeated team, with three one-loss teams, including the Sooners lurking within a game of the Longhorns. At this point in the season, almost halfway through the conference race, it’s pretty safe to say the Big 12 contenders have separated themselves from the pretenders.
