Hope the $2.5 mil OU got for moving the game to Jerry World was worth it.  Would Bradford gotten hurt on that hit if he lands on the grass in Norman?  If only Tim Tebow had been there to heal Bradford with his touch...

Oklahoma was also missing future 1st round pick TE Jermaine Gresham.

It's gonna be a rough year for Jubanator.....

This sucks....I'll have more thoughts later after I hit the bottle for a few hours.

Oooh, great minds think alike!

And the more I think about it, when Sam does come back, he'll still have to be behind that O-line that looked like crap.  I need more beer and Sam needs a bigger insurance policy...

I'm so glad I chose this as my upset pick

I dont want to brag, but Texas Fight!
 Okay, Im done.

The reason Oklahoma scored 10 of the points was because of the Byu offence. The defence let up only 3, and even then there was a questionable call. My mom {a doctor} sais he could be out from 4 to 6 weeks, but she added that that was probably how long she would keep me out. But plus, do you want to try to knock of some rust against a ream like Texas? Ecpiecially with a new offensive line, would that be smart?
The weird thing, is, I had thought about this scienario before, exept I was wondering about Tebow, cause Oklahoma is no threat to us.

This doesn't count Oklahoma out of it by any means. If I am not mistaken, they had a loss last year and still played for the national title. They need to run the table though...

Definitely true, but if Bradford's out for that Miami game....could be bad news.

Of course, they did lose to a very good team in week 1, so you're right, people will have completely forgotten about that or say "Well, Bradford was injured" and write it off.

But then, Oklahoma has been sucking a huge one in BCS games of late, so seriously, I wouldn't let them play in the national championship even if they run the table.

I sensed the upset on this one, for one SB O-line is not as experienced, also top Oklamhoma recieving target this year Jermain Gresham didn't play. Also BYU had something to prove BSU has been taking all of the underdog thunder, and BYU knew this was there best chance. Also I wanna add that it is a huge accomplishment to BYU's D-Fense for that goal line stand, and also holding one of the top offenses in the country to 13 points, Congrats BYU

and GO COUGARS!

@100%InjuryRate,  do you remember your post last year?  http://www.faniq.com/blog/BYU-Loses-To-TCU-327-BYUs-BCS-Bowl-Hopes-And-Max-Halls-Heisman-Chances-Are-Done-Blog-12803

Do you still feel the same way?  Do you still think that non-BCS teams have no right to compete with the BCS teams?  What about what happened with Utah last year.  They beat every team they came up against, they may have been number 1 if given the opportunity.

I don't think the BCS is interested in finding the best football team in the country as much as it is concerned about keeping the old boys network intact.  BCS-sponsored teams are afraid of playing teams from other conferences, such as the MWC, because they might lose.  If they lose to non-BCS teams then perhaps their superiority bubble will burst.

I admit that in years past the MWC and WAC teams haven't been that good but in recent years the teams have been very good, and would likely beat many of the BCS teams if given the chance.  BYU has struggled for years to get a schedule as strong as they have this year, not because they didn't want one, but because the other teams wouldn't play them.  Of course these games are scheduled years in advance, so we always have to wait a few seasons to see any noticable change in schedules.

So long, Sooners! A bit too cocky, aren't we?

Despite the Bradford injury, the offense missing there best returning receiving threat and the inexperience of the Sooner offensive line, take nothing away from a BYU team that wasnt afraid of playing on a big stage against a big time BCS school.  The Cougar defense was stout even when Bradford was playing and BYU QB Max Hall made all the big plays late to lead his team to the upset.  This certainly moves BYU to the top of the class as far as BCS busters go....for this week at least

Am I the only one who's not shocked? Shouldn't they struggle in an early season games against an experienced, well coached team that knows how to exploit OU's shaky secondary, frankly BYU would have been right there even if Bradford finished the game. Bradford doesn't play CB or safety.

this game was over when Bradford went down...i think the Sooners are done,will be a interesting season

EXACTLY!!!!  I THINK I HAVE PTSD FROM THAT HIT TO BRADFORD.  BUT THEIRS ALWAYS NEXT WEEK.  AND MAYBE  THEIR BACKUP CAN GAIN SOME CONFIDENCE THIS WEEK.  (YOU GOTT BELIEVE!!!!)
OH YEAH AND HOPE,  AND PRAY THATS THE GOOD ONE PRAY!!!!!! SO IM OFF TO CHURCH!!

Way to go Texas! Let UL-Monroe score a late touchdown so they would cover the spread.  No wonder why I dislike Texas so much.  Thanks for nothing.

I THINK THE OL WAS TO NERVOUS, THEY LOST A LOT OF YARDS ON THE FIRST 2 POSS. THEN DIDNT FILL THE HOLES LIKE THE SHOULD.  I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE A TOUGH GAME FOR SAM. I WILL SAY THOUGH, BYU WAS A GREAT TEAM THIS GAME, BUT HAD BRADFORD AN GRISHAM BEEN PLAYING.  NO WAY THEY WOULD HAVE WON.   BUT CONGRATS. TO ALL YOU BYU FANS.    ALL 7 OF YOU.  

Dude! What's with the CAPS LOCK button on for? Are you like five years old???

Sooners aren't done for heaven's sakes.  It's just one game.  Bradford will be out in a couple of weeks & OU has a couple of tomato cans on the schedule before then.  So OU is fine right now.  It's not like that someone hasn't ran the table before. 

I'm sure in Bradford's case that any money on earth wouldn't have been worth it, if he had to play for the Detroit Lions this year.

The best part of this, for sure, is that it's early in the season.  No reason not to think that, should by some act of fate, they were to survive, they could recover.

I hate to say it though, but I always thought they were overrated.  But if Bradford stays in, maybe they survive, maybe they recover from the inevitable shifting of players following the offsetting.

I guess eleven is right though, we shouldn't really be surprised.  You've got a tough, ranked and experienced opponent... and then your star QB goes down in the first game when you're most vulnerable.

But this is another reason SCREAMING for a reformation in the way we approach the season.  Although BYU aren't the Utes of a year ago, they'll be at the end with plenty of new-found fans arguing for their placement because of this victory.  And it's obvious there needs to be some sort of change.  We've got these stupid rankings that tend to turn out as completely irrelevant, unbalanced schedules, and so forth.  It's completely moronic that people can sit here and talk about Heisman and championships and crap after one game... which, in the eyes of the BCS, should have never turned out this way.

What more argument can there be - the outsiders keep crashing the party!  It's ridiculous that we have to wait two months for a NC game after the season ends because the BCS is too cheap to be fair.  Too concerned with the mint they're making off their meaningless bowl games... that's why the last 3 title games have been snorefests.  If Texas, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State are all equal, how do you pick one over the other?  And then you add in an UNDEFEATED Utah and you've got utter bs.

It's all about the money... like everything else in this country.  There's no legitimacy in any sports anymore.  The BCS wants to remain an old boy's club because they know that's where the big money comes from.  Which is absolutely ridiculous.  It's time for a complete overhaul.

did you see Bradford's replacement?he looked so out of it...of course they will win the next 2 games....but i think they won't be in the hunt this year...or at least i hope not...

If you are going to lose, it's better to lose in the 1st game than the last week.

Not in Oklahoma's trophy case. That's for sure.

UT vs. UF seems to be a pretty smart bet....

well, they easily wont be making it to the bcs title, like all the sportscenter predictors said..haha and with Bradford out for a couple weeks, they'll be sure to lose at least one more game
Flordia and Texas in the BCS title game

Ya, but they didnt deserve to be and they got their asses kicked.

Like health care.

After taking the night to digest what happened (and a few drinks), I think I can give a pretty good response to how I am feeling...

Oklahoma had the exact same two major problems that hurt them in the National Title game last year.

First we couldn’t punch it in when we were inside the 5 yard line and just couldn’t get the stop when we absolutely needed too. Two very simple things that we just have came up short in our last two games. Had we been able to do those things, we escape Dallas with a win that we had no business getting.

I thought the defense played well but we really need to get just a little more pressure on the QB when just rushing four, and when we do rush four, we have to tighten up our coverage.

Also, there are actually some in this state who are calling for a “change” at the top are insane and delusional. I want to ask them if they remember what it was like in the 90’s when we were lucky to win 5 games? Stoops has the most wins as a head coach this decade. Getting rid of Stoops would be the absolute worst thing this program could do and would set them back into that 90’s slide we saw after Switzer left.

Also, comparing last seasons offensive numbers to this seasons is insane ESPN. This game was played by 4 new offensive line starters, new TE starters, all but 1 new WR, and half the game played by a QB who had never played a single down in College.

Last season's offense was a special season that we won't see again, please some saying BYU held down an offense that scored a record 700 and some points because BYU didn't hold that team down.

No drinking here

nope im old enough to not use the word dude though!!!

What's this excuse making for Oklahoma? Bradford was in for 2 full quarters, and his only TD came from 8 yards out because of an uncharacteristic punt fumble by BYU.

BYU also fumbled in OU's endzone, and they turned the ball over 2 more times in BYU's own territory. 10 of OU's 13 points came b/c of turnovers in easy scoring territory. NONE of BYU's points were gimme points. When Bradford went out, Max Hall had already doubled his passing yards. OU was lucky it wasn't a blow out in BYU's favor. 4 turnovers by BYU and OU still loses? OU was lucky they looked as good as they did, b/c they should have been hammered.

As for injuries, BYU was missing its defensive captain, 2 offensive lineman, and their one and only good running back (Unga). Those guys were gone the whole game, not just for 2 quarters, so give BYU its dues. OU got outplayed, and if you want to talk injuries, BYU had just as much to complain about.

I get the feeling some on here didn't even watch the actual game, because if you had, you would have seen how badly OU was getting beaten if not for some lucky "gimme" points given up by BYU's offense.

BYU was missing its defensive captain, its star running back, and 2 offensive lineman. I'm sure there are others that were injured, but those are the ones that come to mind.

No excuse making for the Sooners, their 2 quarter Bradford injury and receiver missing were no more detrimental to the game than BYU's missing starters.

I agree, I wanted to see Texas in the National Championship last year. I'm not the committee, don't come at me. I just stated the facts; Oklahoma had 1 loss, and played for the national title.
