OU Sooners beat rival Oklahoma State and win Big12 South Championship
The OU Sooners did exactly what they had to do to give them a shot at another Big12 Championship; beat the OSU Cowboys. The final score was 27-21 and it was way too close for comfort for this Sooner fan. I was so nervous that I couldn’t watch the end of the game in fear that my beloved Sooners would find a way to lose it at the end.
The Sooners relied heavily on the run in this game and they were not disappointed, Alan Patrick returned to the lineup after missing a couple of games due to a foot injury. He had a great game including a 65 yard touchdown and had a total of 163 yards on 23 carries and freshman Chris Brown who played the two games that Patrick missed had 74 yards on 19 carries and two td’s.
Paul Thompson had an efficient game at QB (7/11 for 77 yards and 1 td.) and he guided the Sooners on long drives that ate up the clock.
With this win, their 10th of year the Sooners won the Big 12 South and will play Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship and an automatic BCS bowl game.
Yes, but the big news this weekend was USC’s thrashing of Notre Dame. The Trojans are going to Arizona!

It is too bad, when USC can lose to an unranked team and they still could be playing for a National Championship and Michigan’s only loss will be to the #1 ranked team in the country.
Fortunately, I am only concerned about which bowl game my Sooners will be playing in and when we kick the Husker’s on Saturday we will be in one of the BCS bowl games.
