ATLANTA – Baylor receiver Tyquan Thornton just sort of stood there when the ball was snapped. Put his hands up a little, like Marcel Marceau.
So Tre Brown decided to sneak a peek elsewhere. And that’s why the Sooners were at Peach Bowl Media Day on Thursday in the College Football Hall of Fame.
Oh, there are a thousand reasons why the Sooners are back in the national semifinals for the fourth time in five years. But OU wouldn’t be here without beating Baylor in the Big 12 Championship Game, and OU wouldn’t have beaten Baylor if Brown hadn’t taken his eyes off his man and placed them on the football.
