Q2 Analysis, OU-Tulsa

Re: Home Depot commercial: if you bargain with with the missus for new golf clubs, you've got to give her a limit on the 'anything you want'. New appliances in exchange for new sticks is an expensive trade. TU ball on their own 33: The Sooner D giveth, the Sooner D taketh away, as Adams gains 7, then loses. Oskie! Smith scrambles away and throws to an open receiver, who bobbles the pass and he Ryan Reynolds makes the pick.DeMarcus Granger is hurt on the play. Hopefully nothing serious, he's had a good start to the year. Sooners ball on the TU 36: Patrick makes some nice moves to get down to the 14. Somethng you NEVER hear: "Malcolm should have caught that ball". DeMarco Murray eludes a tackler and scores from the 4. Sooners 21, Tulsa 7. My beef w watching Fri night games: the producers presume the game will suck. Right now they are covering ND sucking while Tulsa passes its way down the field. They seem to treat the game like a college football analysis show that happens to be done from the TV booth while a football game is going on. TD Tulsa. Lendy Holmes gets beat deep and Marion scores on a 48 yard bomb by Paul Smith. Tulsa has a lot of fight in them for this game after giving up 21 consecutive points. Sooners 21, Tulsa 14. Unsportsmanlike conduct on the TD sets up a kickoff from the 15. Sooner ball on their own 47. An undiscolsed penalty (broadcast team ignoring the freaking game) by the Sooners negates a 20 yard gain by the Sooners. Another penalty by the Sooners and a pass for no gain gives the Sooners 2nd and 25. 22 yard pass to Iglesias gives OU 3rd and 3. Iglesias is setup for a big year. Kelly continues to draw the foe's best defender, and Iglesias is a great 2nd option. Quentin Cheney drops a low throw by Bradford. First Jermaine Gresham sighting 9 yard gain. Keith Jackson Jr scores on an inside route by holding on during a couple of shots from TU defenders - defenders may be a bad term for the Tulsa defense. They may be better characterized as inhospitable hosts. Sooners 28, TU 14. Tulsa ball on their own 31. Three and out for the Golden Hurricane. Sooner ball on their own 26. The Sooner O-line is starting dominate; Patrick has 43 yards on 2 carries on this drive. Patrick has 111 yards on 13 carries. Sooner ball on the 15. 9 yd run by Murray takes it to the 6. Loadholt at 6-8 350 is blocking a kid that was a WR in high school. Penalties are killing Tulsa. TD Sooners on a run by Patrick. Sooners 35, Golden Hurricanes 14. Hartley keeps licking it into or near the end zone. Tulsa ball on the 21. Tulsa's offense is tricked up. I like it. They know playing it straight up isn't going to work, so they throw a lot of looks at you and spread it out. Beautiful lob pass by Paul Smith for a 53 yard gain to the Sooner 18. Tulsa misses a 35 yard FG. Sooner ball on their own 20. Another burst by Patrick. Then a holding. Don't see the snap into the butt of the man in motion. Sooners recover and let the clock wind down to 23 seconds in the half. Tulsa ball on their 35. Tulsa has no time outs and 65 yards away, but they are not just snapping it and going to the locker room.Two plays takes it to the Sooner 34. Sack by Auston English closes out the half. Tulsa WR Jesse Meyer has 7 catches for 114 yards in the first half. We should consider covering him in the second half.
