Q4 Analysis, OU-Tulsa

Tulsa ball, 3rd and 7 on the 23. Paul Smith avoids running and fires a near pic by Nic Harris. Smith makes a nice return on the punt back to the Tulsa 40. One play, TD! Bradford underthows Iglesias a bit, but he comes back for the ball and makes phenomenal effort in breaking tackles to reach the end zone. The XP is blocked. Sooners 48, Tulsa 21. Tulsa ball on their 20. Nice chat with Dennis Byrd. However, somehow Tulsa's 10 yard run was negated by a penalty apparently. I think ESPN is forbidden from discussing penalties. Smith is now sacked, and it's 3rd and 19. Three and out for the Golden Hurricane. Another nice return by Reggie Smith, Sooners ball on the 29. I'm wondering what the next topic is that they'll discuss while ignoring the game on the field. Well, we have the answer. Now we're going to discuss Chris Spielman's collegiate career. Oh, goody! While we were discussing that Chris Browne ran 14 yards to the 2, and took a vicious hit as he went down. Looks like he hit his head on the turf. I can't imagine him playing again tonight. Enough about that, it's about me. Why is it the ESPN allots 3 hours for a football game? The average this year is around 3:20. This is Tulsa, with a chuck and duck offense. It's going to be close to 4 hours. DeMarco Murray pretty much walks into the end zone for another Sooner score. Lets see if they can make an XP. Sooners 55, Tulsa 21. Tulsa ball on the 21. Tulsa brings in David Johnson, the 2nd string QB for the duration. The first two plays make me think TU is ready to run the clock out and get this one over with, based upon the plays they were running most of the game. Three and out for the Golden Hurricane. I'm assuming Head Visor will be bring in the subs now. Horrible face mask tackle on Reggie Smith on the punt return. Sooner ball on the Tulsa 47. Halzle now in at QB. Bradford's final stats...15-21 for 242 yards and 3 scores. I jinxed Allen Patrick. He didn't get many touches after my proclamation that he'd run for 200. Halzle throws a nice pass to Joe Jon Finley down to the 16. Madu runs it twice, scoring on the 2nd one. Sooners 62, Tulsa 21. The Sooners are now dominating the Hurricanes at the line. Three and out for Tulsa. Sooner ball on the Tulsa 47. Sam Bradford has thrown 14 TD passes in his first four games of the year. That's the 8th highest SEASON total in Sooner history. Keith Nichol is now in to hand the ball off to Mossis Madu for the remainder of the game. Sooners 3nd punt of the night. Tulsa ball on their own 10. I would anticipate the Golden Hurricane doing quite well in Conference USA this year. They can move the ball on anyone. Game over. Sooners win 62-21. Game time ~3:40. Juaquin Iglesias finishes with 7 catches for 141 yards and 2 scores.
