Not to mention, if a couple things go right, if the Cowboys win out, they could be in the CFP as the Sooners exit stage right to the SEC.ĬRFF: Kind of going off of that, what’s your fondest Bedlam memory?Ĭ&CM: Favorite Bedlam memory was the 2016 matchup in Norman. All of this would make Bob Bowlsby very happy.
BACK TO BEDLAM SERIES
Do you feel like that brings a different feeling going into the game?Ĭ&CM: Yes- the notion that this may very well be the last football game in the Bedlam series already gives a feeling of nostalgia but also the notion that Oklahoma State has the chance to do a couple of things here: They can make sure the Sooners don’t even compete for a Big XII Title if Baylor wins their game (they will), and the Cowboys can also ensure the Sooners get nowhere close to the CFP once again. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t offered as reported.ĬRFF: It is not outside the realm of possibility that this is the last Bedlam game that will be played. What do you feel is true/untrue?Ĭ&CM: He’s not going to LSU. Don’t get me wrong, Oklahoma’s offense can get it going, but I’m not too confident that they are able to against the best defense they’ve faced in quite some time.ĬRFF: From an insider’s perspective what have you heard about the Lincoln to LSU rumors. However, much of the playcalling from Lincoln Riley has been mystifying as well as we are seeing Williams and his freshman flaws. When the Sooners’ run game is humming, they tend to do quite well, such as the Iowa State game. Earlier this week we talked with Kamiar Mehrabian of Crimson and Cream Machine and he was able to give us some fantastic answers to things we were wondering about this Oklahoma team.ĬRFF: This is going to be one of the toughest defenses this Sooner squad has faced all year, based on what you’ve seen from their offense, do you think they’re up for it?Ĭ&CM: The short answer is “not particularly.” The long answer is the matter of fact that Oklahoma has played the three toughest opponents for them in the last three games of the season and although their defense has shown up, the offense has been a no-show from Lincoln Riley’s calls to Caleb Williams’ arm.
