OU’s 55-20 Cotton Bowl rout of Florida on Wednesday night was a many splendored thing, with only a few nits to pick. The Sooner report card reflects a dominating performance:
Power formations: A.
OU opened the game with a five-play, 79-yard touchdown drive. All five plays came with only two wide receivers on the field. The Sooners loaded up with two tight ends, either on the line or just behind the line. It wasn’t a formation that Lincoln Riley relied on extensively thereafter — just 24 of OU’s 65 plays were with multiple tight ends.
