It happens. Remember some of those 63-14 games against Texsa? We weren’t necessarily 50 points better than them, but we were that day. Sometimes things just snowball and get out of hand. Unfortunately for us, it happened to us in the NCG.I know I know but man that team should have played better.Believe me I will never forget that game as long as I live no matter how hard I try.
My memory might be bad, but I seem to recall reading an article after that USC loss that players from our defensive line were asking the Trojans to stop playing so hard, because they had given up. That sucks.
That touching the punt at the 3 yard line was rough. As I recall that USC team is considered one of the best ever. (Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, LenDale White, Dwayne Jarrett, Steve Smith, Ryan Kalil, Deuce Lutui, Lawrence Jackson, Mike Patterson, Shaun Cody, Lofa Tatupu) We gave away or run/pass preference on offence. After the 2004 aTm game Stoops stopped his Big Game Bob risk taking and went conservative. White was banged up and the best defense in NCAA basically knew when a pass play was called, not good.How did this team play so poorly in the Nat'l championship game?This team was special,White,Peterson,Bradley etc. Wow just wow it just blows me away every time I see it.
I was lazy on the thread title ,I mean the 2004 CCG against Colorado then losing to USC after that.
Agree. Not because OU lost a game for the national championship....but played poorly....was thoroughly routed (the game was decided by halftime)....on prime time national television. This game eclipsed the 31-6 loss to Arkansas in the 1978 Orange Bowl, and that says a lot.The loss to USC, and the matter in which the Sooners lost, is my personal worst loss for an Oklahoma team EVER. I never, ever want to watch the replay of that game.
