The clock was ticking below 30 seconds in the first half when Vince Young took the snap and rolled to his left, stopped and popped the pass for a 64 yard touchdown to Billy Pittman. Game over.

The wind was taken out of the collective sails of Sooner fans, players, and coaches and the swagger was transferred from one sideline to the other.

It’s also a shame when you make adjustments to your offense that make you better against UCLA and Kansas State than you did against TCU and Tulsa, then you can’t go back and play those two again. Last weekend the real college football season started, conference play, and everything started to become a little clearer.
