The Sooners showed up, all right, and so did over 82,000 of their devoted fans, for what amounted to a glorified scrimmage against a much-smaller and lesser opponent that was brave enough to fill a scheduling void, come to play the nation’s No. 4 team and take it on the chin for a nice financial payout.
So that is now thankfully behind us, and we move on to the rest of the season, with the first road trip of the season immediately ahead and a return trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, where the UCLA Bruins will be waiting.
