Best thing about the start of this game? Realizing that it's no longer on Fox.
OU should dominate UConn, but given their recent history in BCS bowl (five straight losses) nothing would surprise me.

I would say Oklahoma by 4 TDs, but superior teams have been losing to lesser teams all bowl season, so who the fuck knows?

Uconn will want this game more......I don't know if that will be enough.
This is Uconn's chance for national recognition.

Normally I would agree with you about UConn wanting it more since this is OU's third straight bowl game, however, I think they may want it more because they are tired of hearing about 0-5.

Nice story about the former player from UConn who died tragically. Great gesture. I think that some of that emotion will drive UConn tonight.
The RB from UConn needs about 30 carries tonight for them to have a chance
Horrible spot from that official

Didn't all you people just say the same thing about TCU in the Rose Bowl?

Connecticut couldn't stay within 40 points of TCU, so don't act like it's the same thing. Oklahoma should be ashamed of themselves if they can't name the score tonight.

Sooners up 7-0.
UConn needs to put together a drive and make some adjustments, quick. That was wayyyy too easy on the 1st drive

I didn't read anything on here leading up to the Rose Bowl, but I don't really know anyone who thought that TCU wasn't going to compete.
OU off to a quick start with a TD on their first possession and they completed every pass on the drive. Less than five minutes in and their up 7-0.

Uconn must score and cause some turnovers after watching th 1st drive....though yhou have 5 weeks to prepare for plays on the first drive...sometimes that happens.

This looks to have the making of about 1/50th of the interest level as a quarterfinal playoff would bring.

Need to avoid 3 and double sticks for sure... they got lucky there, didn't look like the spacing was very good between receivers there

didn't work out there. Not too thrilled with that playcall. Tough decision, you're torn between at least getting on the board and knowing that FG's aren't going to beat Oklahoma

Liked that they went for it on 4th, didn't care for the call though. QB sneak!

This could be a 14 point swing and really put UConn behind the 8 ball

which is killing them and giving up extra yardage.
TD Oklahoma. 13-0 w/ PAT pending.
This could get ugly

Agreed. Uconn has to get points out of their next drive

And make some needed adjustments on D. A lot of soft coverage and Landry Jones is tearing it apart right now
