Oklahoma Sooners – Texas Longhorns Tips
Bradford’s back. That’s everything you need to know this week.
Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford and the rest of the Oklahoma Sooners are ready to face the Texas Longhorns this Saturday as the 2009 NCAA college football season continues with Week 7.
Sam Bradford had 49 throws in a 33-7 for the Oklahoma Sooners over Baylor. Bradford threw for 389 yards and a touchdown after missing the last month with a sprained AC joint in his right, throwing shoulder. It was the 14th 300-yard passing game of his career, matching the school record set by 2000 Heisman runner-up Josh Heupel.
If there’s still any questions on Bradford’s health, he sure answered those in emphatic fashion.
”I think that’s something that we were all curious around here is how I would react to 3 1/2-4 hours in my pads, on and off, not throwing the whole time, kind of sitting on the bench, coming back and making some throws,” Sam Bradford said. ”I felt like my arm responded great, and I felt good out there.”
”To have been off as much as he has and go out there in his first go at it to play as well as he did, I thought he played great,” Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. ”He stays away from the poor, the negative plays or the bad plays and he had a great night.”
The undefeated Texas Longhorns, on the other hand, look to continue their winning ways at the expense of the Sooners. The Longhorns beat Colorado 38-14 win Saturday night with the help of Earl Thomas and Ben Wells. Thomas returned an interception 92 yards for a touchdown while Wells recovered a blocked punt for another score to help the Longhorns pull away in the second half.
Colt McCoy became the 15th player in college football history to generate more than 12,000 total yards last weekend. He has thrown touchdown passes in 21 consecutive games. It’ll be nice to see him match-up with Bradford.
