NORMAN, Okla. -- Tulane quarterback Johnathan Brantley was doing what few expected. He was keeping his team in the game.
Brantley, starting for injured Jonathan Banks, even had control for more than just a quarter against one of the nation's top teams. The score was tied.
But then his ill-advised pass changed everything. No. 2 Oklahoma returned a telegraphed throw from Brantley for a touchdown to the break the tie and turn the game.
The Sooners pulled away from there. Behind a huge second half, Oklahoma rolled Tulane 56-14 in front of 86,290 fans Saturday night.
