I go with Bama and Nick SabanI've been to games in Tuscaloosa. Bama is hard to beat there. People talk of allowing a 3-pt advantage for home-team advantage. Having been there to watch my Sooners play the Tide and to watch Penn State play them a different season, I have to give Bama a greater edge for home field. My Sooners won anyway but I was thrilled to get out of Tuscaloosa in 2003 with a 20-13 victory. Posted on: January 19, 2011 2:22 pm
OU to Press for # 1 in 2011One thing people tend to forget about Josh Heupel, the new co-OC at Oklahoma, is that he was almost a Heisman winner himself. In 2000 Heupel quarterbacked Oklahoma to a 13-0 season and finished second behind Chris Weinke of Florida State for the Heisman Trophy. Heupel then went on to beat Chris Weinke and FSU 13-2, giving OU the national championship. With a lot of help from Heupel's team-mates, OU held Weinke to no touchdowns and two interceptions.
Heupel also was an OU assistant in 2004. That year QB Jason White, the 2003 Heisman winner, took Oklahoma to a 12-0 season before losing to USC for the national championship. Heupel was not only a great QB but he has worked with two Heisman winners, come in second for the Heisman himself, and coached and played under the very highest pressure conditions. It's hard for his players not to listen when he speaks and Sam Bradford is proof that listening to Heupel is a smart thing to do. Bradford has a lot of natural talent but few remember that he had to compete for the starting position at Oklahoma. With some early help from Heupel's coaching, Sam may very well develop into one of the all-time greatest of QBs. I expect him to do just that.

Thanks, Nebraska, for the memories.Thanks Nebraska for all the great games over the years. I hope they work out those future meetings. This game tonight was fantastic, befitting so many other wonderful games. You are a class football program and have had such class leadership.
I'm glad OU won but the game could have gone either way. Had OU lost by three, I would be here, saying the same thing. Good luck in the Big-Ten. Make us proud.

About Okie8ball, To Be, rather than To Seem.
This Blog is about college football, particularly OU football. I played football in high school and snow ski and play golf, now. Next to the Sooners, I am an Alabama fan but I love college football, period. I am not a Sports fan. In looking for College & OU Football stories, I look at the sports pages, cover to cover. I learned about the OKC Thunder, & watched my first ever pro-basketball games last year. Because of former OU stars Sam Bradford and Adrian Peterson, I've also watched my first NFL games in years.
As you see, though, college football is the driving force.
