I hate to see that, both Bradford getting hurt and OU losing. I am not a fan of OU or anyone (confession: I graduated from Troy, so I am a little bit of a Troy fan), but I do like the Sooners still. Stoops is a good guy, good coach. I still remember our series with them being so respectful, so OU is one of those teams I always wish the best for. I also don't like the idea of any of those non-BCS schools stepping up and possibly busting the BCS.
I didn't see much of the game at all because it was on during our game. It sounds like it was a really good game.
I give Oklahoma credit for playing this game. I love to see early season match-ups like this and Bama-VT. There have been teams that have avoided big game match-ups in the past couple of years. I think these big game match-ups are great for the game. I would love to see us play someone like Texas or U$C in the Cowboys new stadium very soon.

Bradford going down didn't lose that game. They weren't lighting up BYU by any means before he went out. BYU is a well coached team.
You must be the only one that watched the game. Bradford was in the entire first half...got hurt right before halftime. They were tied 7-7. BYU brought the heat, and he didn't like having to get out of the kitchen. That wasn't the first time he'd been hit tonight. He was terrible when he had to leave the pocket under duress.

Props to BYU...because unfortunately, the talking heads at ESPN will say the same thing most of you are...that it was because Bradford got hurt...and that ain't true.

Looked to me like losing 4 from last year's OL was what caused Bradford to struggle. But losing the onlyy QB they had who was really prepared and experienced enough to play well with that poor line likely did cost them the game.

The OL is what looked atrocious for OU.
