Sooners settle for a field goal
Oklahoma's opening drive was the most efficient Missouri has seen all season. They moved the ball for solid yardage on every single play. The Sooners did nothing spectacular, they just made it look easy. But Missouri's defense did everything it needed to — bend but don't break.
After a 13-play drive Oklahoma had to settle for an ugly looking field goal, that just barely made it through the uprights.Bradford looked smart and composed, but the real story was the offensive line. It allowed Bradford to sit in the pocket, scan the field and make a read without out even knowing that Missouri had a defensive line.
While this seems like a bad sign for the Tigers, we saw how ineffective the blitz was last week, so Eberflus may just be sacrificing the pass rush in hopes of better coverage.
The Tigers MUST get off to a good start offensively. They have put themselves in the exact position that they wanted to. Taking an early lead will establish some broken confidence from last week.
