Sooners Win Holiday Bowl

Well, tonight OU pulled it out over Oregon winning the game 17-14. I'd like to say that I'm ecstatic over the win but in reality I'm just relieved it's over. This team did everything it could do to lose the game but thankfully Clint Ingram saved the day with an interception in the final minute. For the most part it was a pretty slow game until the third quarter when the offense got things rolling. It was pretty typical of the season however as we left a lot of points on the field, but at least we won. Had Peterson not fumbled on the goal line things could have turned out quite differently.

On the bright side, I really liked some of the plays we ran out of the spread and there are a lot of things to look forward to in the future. The offense looked good overall, and I must say I am excited about not having Chuck here anymore. It's too early to say that Wilson is going to be a great improvement, but things looked much better tonight. Also, I'm not about to start proclaiming a run at the MNC next year but this team has a chance to be good. There is a lot of young talent on this team and if they can learn to actually put people away it could be really good. It would also be a bonus if we learned to play special teams, but that can wait until next year I guess. Until then I can just root against Texas next week and wait eagerly for spring ball.

It was a great win and a fun game to watch. I liked the way Wilson called the game. It seemed to keep Oregon off balance which was nice. What made me excited was the defense. They shut down a team that was supposed to be one of the top offenses. We lose a few guys off the D, but it bodes well for next season. Also it seems like there was a ryhthem between the receivers and Bomar that hasn't been there before.
Only downside is that my favoite player is graduating. Who else, JD.
