Another nice Big 12 showing

We did it again. No I don't mean just the Sooners, although they did it quite well. More on that in a bit. I mean the Big 12. Another 10 wins out of 12 teams playing. We still have 2 teams in the top 10 with Nebraska knocking on it's door. Texas is still on the downslide, but OU has bumped up again in just about every poll. There has been some other movement in some of the polls. I may throw in another poll summary, or save that for a separate post.

On to the Sooners. I was again impressed by Bradford's poise and composure against a tougher opponent. Malcolm Kelley still looks awesome and helped Bradford complete for 5 TD's, three of them himself. Iglesias and Murray looked pretty good. Patrick was back and looking very healthy. He made some great plays, but overall it didn't seem like he was a big difference maker in the game. Chris Brown was back as well and while he looked good, also didn't seem to be a game changer. After reviewing the stats I can see where I got this idea. Patrick and Brown were the 2nd and 3rd leading rushers for the game, behind Murray. There were no rushing TDs though. Either passing TDs or the FG by Hartley. Even Halzle got a TD. It's nice to have a good backup QB. Special teams were overall pretty good, but a couple of really bad plays cost some points. Fortunately, the defense was outstanding and minimized the damage done. They were all over the Miami offense and held the two leading Miami rushers to 52 yards compared to 215 combined in the previous game. I am so impressed by the way the defense has been stepping up their game this season. I recall this time last season they were really struggling. Not anymore. I don't see them being tested for the next couple of games, but I hope they keep the focus and intensity they will need when the in conference gauntlet begins.

I didn't get to see any of the other games since I was drilling this weekend. I was fortunate to have taped the OU game so I got to enjoy that one. I would like to point out that of the 10 wins our conference had, 7 of them were by at least 2 TDs. I think that's pretty good. Kansas and OSU looked really good. Baylor made up for last weeks rout by dominating Rice. Texas did okay against a ranked TCU team. K State, Texas Tech, and Missouri all looked pretty good in their games. I hope to see more wins for everyone next week. Let's keep dominating like we should.

Oh I almost forgot, we set a new attendance record with 85,357. I doubt there will be any open seats the rest of the season at least. That is a general trend around here. Memorial Stadium is usually full.
