Texas was the better team in the RRS game. 3 points better. That's about all we can say for sure, with the rest being purely speculation driven by our own biases.
I was darned impressed by Texas. Even though I had a feeling they would win the game and I think was the only one here(?) to go out on a limb and predict that, it was still impressive to see them do it.
I was also heartened by OU's comeback after all looked lost. I mean seriously folks, we were 21 points down in the 4th Q, and no amount of "Texas played it loose" can explain giving up 3 touchdowns like that, sorry. I think we "woulda" had the mo had we gone to OT.
But Texas answered after we'd tied it up that point, with enough of a drive to kick the winning FG and kudos to them for it. They were the better team period, but when I see a Texas fan say that the Longhorns "dominated" the game etc, I just have to look back at the scoreboard, and say, umm, nope. You won the game. By 3. That's it. Just like we won the game last year by 5, and there was no talk from me at least about how we dominated Texas or how we were so clearly the better team and would "throttle them" if we played again - lol. We just managed to get more points than they did, by a small margin. That's all. Throw out all the other if's and's or but's about it.
And now we have new defensive leadership thanks not just to Texas but really the past three games of lackluster performance, and a whole second half of the season to go, with only one conference loss, and already a good offense. So, I'm still positive about the Sooners, and we are still in the hunt for a conference title and that's good. We beat a tough Iowa St team up there and a Baylor team by a lot, and so we're 2-1 in the conference, which is really okay, and so onward and upward and forward, and all the rest.
