If in this weird and wacky 2020 Oklahoma football season, if the college game were just three-quarters long, the Sooners might be 4-0.
Oklahoma has exploded out of the gate in the opening quarter in its four games, outscoring its opponents by a whopping 58-3 margin. That advantage grows to 96-37 by halftime and 127-61 after three quarters.
On Saturday, in the 116th edition of the annual rivalry game billed as the Red River Showdown, the Sooners led 10-0 at the end of the first quarter and 31-17 after three quarters.
