A High School Football Field Somewhere
OFFENSE:

QB: Baker Mayfield - 87 - Had the one really bad interception but largely made one big play after another.
RB: Joe Mixon - 85 - His first rushing touchdown paved the way for very few touches the rest of the game.
RB: Samaje Perine - 88 - Perine was steady as ever making several tough runs.
WR: Sterling Shepard - 88 - Shepard didn't have his typical huge day but helped in all phases.
WR: Dede Westbrook - 75 - Westbrook had good moments but a bad fumble as well as a drop or two.
WR: Durron Neal - 84 - Neal had one of the bigger plays of his Sooner career.
OL: Orlando Brown - 82 - As always OL takes more review but seemed a solid day.
OL: Derek Farniok - 77 - Really thought he had a decent afternoon. OL seemed to get more push when he was in.
OL: Ty Darlington - 79 - Was another up and down performance where he was, at times overpowered.
OL: Nila Kasitati - 70 - Kasitati seems pretty much the same player he was as a sophomore.
OL: Josiah St. John - 76 - St. John had a few beats but wasn't brutal on the edge.

DEFENSE:

DE: Charles Tapper - 83 - As @Joe_DuVall said in his match-ups story Tapper kind of is who he is.
NT: Matt Romar - 84 - Had the two rarely called penalties but fought well against a good center.
DE: Matt Dimon - 89 - Dimon had his best game since the season opener. Very disruptive.
LB: Devante Bond - 86 - Bond wasn't totally dominate but other than one bad mistake was very solid.
LB: Jordan Evans - 88 - Cleaned up a lot of the messes that were left behind.
LB: Dominique Alexander - 93 - I thought this might have been the best game of his career.
NB: Steven Parker - 92 - Parker is becoming one of the Big 12's elite safeties.
CB: Jordan Thomas - 94 - Thomas made several big plays and though he got bailed out on deep ball, did nice job breaking it up.
S: Hatari Byrd - 81 - Another game where I just didn't really notice him.
S: Ahmad Thomas - 84 - Thomas has made real growth this year, particularly working short zone.
CB: Zack Sanchez - 77 - Got picked on a bit but did make some nice plays, just continued poor tackling though.

SPECIAL TEAMS:

K/P: Austin Seibert - 98 - Really strong performance both punting and kicking.
PR: Sterling Shepard - 90 - One of his better games as a return man. He looked amped up from the start.
KR: Alex Ross - 86 - Not his fault on the call back, very solid play.
KOS: Nick Hodgson - 91 - Was solid as always on kickoffs.

KEY RESERVES:


LB: Eric Striker - 98 - Wow, just wow.
DE: D.J. Ward - 85 - Had his first big moment as a Sooner.
DE: Charles Walker - 75 - Really quiet day for him compared to some earlier performances.
FB: Dimitri Flowers - 60 - Had a penalty and apparently a few misses.
OL: Jonathan Alvarez - 65 - Seemed the OL fell off when he became a bigger part of the puzzle at LG.
WR: Michiah Quick - 82 - Quick had a great catch and a few nice downfield blocks.
TE: Mark Andrews - 84 - He is quickly becoming the disappearing man, big play and then 'gone'.

AVG. SCORE: 83.5

100-90: National Championship Contender
89-80: Big 12 Title Contender
79-70: Bowl Game Participant
69-0: Home for Christmas
