Running up the score...
Posted on (12-07-2008)
Let me get one thing out of the way: I thought it was questionable, at best, for Bob stoops to have Sam Bradford in during OU’s final scoring drive of the Big 12 championship game Saturday. OU led 55-21 and any reasonable voter that held doubts about OU either already had them resolved, or wouldn’t have been swayed by five touchdowns in the final minute (despite Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreit claiming OU’s second-half performance wasn’t impressive after OU had the audacity to score only 10 points on its opening two possessions). Plus, Bradford played with an injury, albeit one that is presumed to be relatively minor. OU ran the ball, save for one play, and Joey Halzle could have handed off.
It was questionable, instead of simple bad taste, for two reasons: OU was trying to set a record (only team in modern era to score more than 60 points in five straight games). I think everybody, Gary Pinkel included, understood that it wasn’t all about style points.
