OU football journal: Sooner receivers run wide open against UCLA

The throw was short, but CeeDee Lamb had plenty of time to break stride and let Jalen Hurts’ pass fall gently into his arms.

No Bruin was near him.

Lamb’s 39-yard touchdown reception the second drive of Oklahoma's 48-14 win over UCLA was one of several instances Saturday night in which Sooner receivers ran wide open on the lush Rose Bowl grass.

Lamb lined up in the slot on the far side of the field and lightly jogged to begin his route. The afterburners ignited once he got to the second level of UCLA’s defense.
