Oklahoma

Oklahoma defeated Missouri Saturday night by a score of 38-28 in what was undoubtedly the most boring game ever to feature over 1000 combined total yards of offense. The lack of excitement was likely the result of how the points were scored - MU scores 14 points in the first eight minutes, then 14 points the last nine minutes. OU scores most of their points in between. Oklahoma couldn't run the ball effectively, though being down double digits early didn't help. They also couldn't stop the run. Sound familiar? Like maybe 2010?

The Star

Ryan Broyles. He was the best player on the field. Without Kenny Stills and Trey Franks and a sharp Landry Jones, OU was forced to use Jaz Reynolds and the running backs to move the ball through the air. Broyles was dominant in the first half, scoring two touchdowns and proving to be about the only guy on the field who could catch the ball consistently.
