OSU Bullets

• Looking over some of the most memorable games in OSU Football history (per a fan survey) and some facts about the 2001 Bedlam game (No. 3 most memorable) were surprising.

Capping off the season with a 16-13 win against the Sooners in the most important regular season game of the year gave OSU fans something to be proud of. The win also derailed Oklahoma’s chances at winning a Big 12 Championship.

The Cowboys had just 18 sacks in the first 10 games of the season but managed to sack OU quarterback Nate Hybl seven times to limit the Sooners, the defending national champs, to zero rushing yards for the entire game. [TulsaWorld]

Seven sacks and zero rushing yards! Stopping Bob Stoops’ Sooners from repeating as national champs was fantastic.

• This was a fun concept – a blogger looked at his All-Big 12 football coaching staff and a Cowboy position coach made it.

I am going to cheat a little here and assign coordinator roles to some head coaches but my all-star staff would go something like this: HC: Matt Campbell (ISU HC), OC: Lincoln Riley (OU HC), WR: Kasey Dunn (OSU WR), RB: Stan Drayton (TX RB), OL: Bill Bedenbaugh (OU OL). DC: Gary Patterson (TCU HC), DL: Oscar Giles (Texas DL) LB: Chad Glasgow (TCU DC), DB: Jon Heacock (ISU DC) [HCS]

It would have been more interesting to see a true positional coach breakdown not just a lineup of head coaches as coordinators (Lincoln Riley as OC, Gary Patterson as DC) and coordinators as positional coaches.

• It’s wild when you think about all of the OSU/OU wide receiver tandems over the years as Tylan Wallace and Ceedee Lamb continue the tradition.

The wide receiver position transcends Bedlam when you think about it. Look at what has happened since 2003, the year Rashaun Woods and Mark Clayton combined for 2,792 yards and 30 touchdowns.

Adarius Bowman and Malcolm Kelly traded highlights across the 2006 season. Then Bowman and Juaquin Iglesias did in ’07. Iglesias and Dez Bryant both eclipsed 1,000 yards in ’08.

Justin Blackmon and Ryan Broyles both went berserk in 2010, combining for 3,404 yards and 34 touchdowns. That set up a decade dominated by Josh Stewart, Kenny Stills, James Washington, Sterling Shepard, Dede Westbrook, Marquise Brown and, now, Wallace.

Now that Brown has moved into the NFL, it is Lamb’s turn to pair with Wallace. We could see both at the Biletnikoff ceremony. [TulsaWorld]
