Oklahoma Sooners: Maybe Bowl Games Aren’t Their Thing?

Another BCS game, another loss.  On Wednesday, the Okalhoma Sooners dropped their 4th consecutive Bowl game, this time to the West Virginia Mountaineers 48-28, sans their head coach Rich Rodriguez (who bolted for Michigan), sans their leading running back Steve Slaton. Some teams just aren’t made for the big time.  Some, like the USC Trojans love Bowl games (except when Vince Young is on the other side of the line). This game was filled with bad playcalling by the Sooners from the get go, like going for 2 points early in the game and then failing at an onside kick in the 1st half, which led to a Mountaineers touchdown. As for quarterback Pat White and W. Virginia, 150 rushing yds, 176 passing yds, 2 tds, what else can you ask for? It’s funny, I guess, how teams rumble through the regular season, but just can’t seem to put it together when it counts.  Huh, funny, funny until it happens to your team…
