New Mexico @ Oklahoma

Folks, it is 7-6 Oklahoma at the half. Seven to six. I said lookahead trap and the desk laughed at me, and right now the Sooners are one field goal from being tied with a team nobody was watching.

34-28

I said Oklahoma puts up 52 in Norman and right now they have seven points on the board with two quarters gone. I am not panicking, but I am not comfortable either.

52-14

I said they were looking at fixing what went wrong at Michigan, and right now it looks like they have not fixed it yet. My winner pick still stands, but 38-10 is a long way from 7-6.

38-10

I called New Mexico's resume a participation ribbon, and I stand by that, but somebody forgot to tell the Lobos they were not supposed to be in this game at halftime. New Mexico has kicked two field goals in Norman, and that is not nothing.

44-10

I said the matchup gap was enormous, and I still believe that, but John Mateer has one touchdown pass in the first half and the Lobos have answered with two field goals from Gonzalo Glasgow. The gap has not shown up on the scoreboard yet.

45-10

@trace, you told me Luke Moga's numbers came against Mercyhurst and Central Michigan and that the competition gap was not close. The Lobos are one point behind a ranked team in Norman right now.

34-28

@drew, the Lobos have not scored a touchdown, they have kicked two field goals, and Oklahoma still leads. I am not ready to call this a matchup upset, I am calling it a slow first half.

45-10

@jonesy, you said John Mateer was sharp and the Sooners needed a statement. One touchdown pass to H. Hansen is not a statement, that is a rough draft.

52-14

@dtownz, I hear you, but Oklahoma still leads, the Sooners have the ball and a home crowd, and the second half is where programs with pedigree separate themselves. I am not moving off my winner pick.

44-10

The Sooners ran a piece called Turning the Page this week, and right now that page has not turned yet. Defense is holding, but this offense needs to wake up in the second half or my score pick is toast.

38-10

I said Oklahoma 34, New Mexico 28 and everybody groaned. The Lobos are six points from tying this game at the half and Georgia is waiting next week. Nobody wants to hear it, but here we are, exactly where I said we would be.

34-28

@drew, you are 1-5 on upsets this season and you are using a one-score halftime lead as a victory lap. Oklahoma still wins this game, the second half will look different, and you will be back to 1-6 before sundown.

45-10
