When Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone, he was projected to be out anywhere from 4-8 weeks. Now the Sooner’s haven’t lost since then, and now have a date against Nebraska in the Big XII Championship Game. Also, this is the seventh week and that’s the question on everyone’s mind right now.

The Bedlam game was another one to remember.It came down the final play again, and OU was able to continue their remarkable season. Now for OU, the Big XII Championship game where they will face Nebraska for a BCS bowl berth in the Fiesta Bowl. It should be a good game but I think OU’s defense will be too much for Nebraska to handle. For OSU, it was a good season because they gained valuable experience that they can carry into next year. They should receive and invitation to the Independence Bowl or the Texas Bowl and should win the came they go to. Note: The year before OU’s National Championship in 2000, they went to the Independence Bowl and lost to Mississippi.

We’ll cross our fingers, but don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

On Senior Day in Norman this weekend, Paul Thompson had the game of his career. The trials and tribulations that Thompson went through made Saturday worth it. After sitting 3 years behind Jason White, he won the starting job in 2005 only to be replaced in the second half of game one. Then after working out at wide receiver for a year, he takes the challenge and moves back to quarterback after the starting quarterback is dismissed from the team. And now, after 5 years, he led his team back from fourteen points down to a victory against Texas Tech 34-24. What a wonderful ending to long and exciting career at the University of Oklahoma.

The Sooner’s are rolling and have two pretty easy games ahead and should be favored in the Bedlam game this year. When Adrian Peterson went down, America wrote OU off, but after three games without him, everybody has stepped including the coaching staff. This week after dominating Texas A&M the first half, the game came down to one coaching move in which coach Bob Stoops made the right call. Going for it on 4th and inches and getting put the nail in the coffin on a 17-16 victory down in College Station. If they can win these last three games, they would certainly go to the Cotton Bowl which would definitely be a success considering what they have lost this season.

The Oklahoma Sooners haven’t played this good of defense since their 2000 National Championship. They played Colorado this weekend and only allowed about 150 total yards. The Colorado offense is by no means Ohio State but they only got on the OU side of the 50 two times, one for a missed field goal and one for a make. This week should be a true tester of how good the defense is or if they are just posing like a real Oklahoma Defense. I believe OU will do exactly what Texas A&M did to Missouri which is run, run and then more run which will keep Chase Daniel and Co. off the field. 10-2 still looks good for now.

The Oklahoma Sooners played a great game this weekend against Iowa State. The offense scored 34 points and the defense only allowed one offense. So you’re probably wondering what the problem was, Adrian Peterson broke his collarbone and is done for the season which    basically means he’s done at OU.I’m sad to see him go but the season ended for OU when they didn’t show up for the second half of the Texas game. I think this is a good thing because it gives experience to the people who will be playing next year. The bad thing is the Sooner’s are capable of winning out and also capable of losing out. My prediction is that they win out because they have a good defense now that there in conference play and Paul Thompson now has experience. That will put them at 10-2, (7-1).

The Oklahoma Sooners gained a confidence booster this week as they beat Middle Tennessee State 59-0. They should be 4-0 but we won’t mention the Oregon in which they won in every way except the final score. But it’s time to move on and the Sooner’s have a bye week to prepare for the Red River Shootout. They play Texas on Oct. 7th and this will be a make or break game for the Sooner’s’ season.
