University of Oklahoma vs. Chattanooga

Saturday, August 30, 2008 – Norman, Oklahoma

Final: 57-2

1 The number of first downs (1) surrendered by the Oklahoma defense. Not too shabby. OU's offense rolled up 27 of their own first downs while compiling 487 yards to Chatt's 36. Toss up, but the game ball goes to the defense.

2 Number of touchdowns (2) credited to sophomore phenom, Sam Bradford. The Heisman hopeful threw for 183 yards on opening day. Basically, just another day at the office for the Josh Heupel coached quarterback. Could there be another National Title for Josh?

3 The number of touchdowns (3) scored by OU's Chris Brown. The running back waltzed into the end zone with runs of 1, 9, and 10 yards vs. the Mocs.

4 Still No. (4) in the rankings. Georgia, Ohio State, and USC all rolled. Leaving the Sooners at No. 4 in the polls. It's too early to leap frog or drop in the rankings, unless you're Clemson. The Tigers were embarrassed by Alabama 34-10.

5 Number of penalties (5) thrown at OU. The zebras marked off 42 yards for the Sooner mistakes.

6 Number of successful third down conversions (6) tallied by the OU offense on 13 attempts.

7 Number of points (7) scored by Oklahoma in the second half. The game was really over before anyone suited up for the contest, but at half, the scoreboard read OU 50, Visitors 0. Final score 57-2. Better than last time Chatt came into town. That was a 59-0 spanking two years ago.

All-Star Stat: 72 Number of minutes (72) the half was delayed by because of typical Oklahoma weather. Maybe this is a sign of things to come. When OU steps on the field, will lightning continue to strike the Sooner opponents? During this delay, fans were asked to leave the seating area at Owen Field. Most did, but as always, some die-hard students stayed in the student section. A large amount of Sooner fans left the stadium though, 50-0 was enough to know the outcome.

Next up for the Sooners is a Home meeting with Cincinnati on September 6. The Bearcats won their season opener vs. Eastern Kentucky 40-7.
