WHAT?!? NO DOOBIE BROTHERS?
Halftime points that Eddie George, Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer may be making from a continent away:
--Bob Stoops gambled twice and lost from inside the 8-yard line, taking at least 6 points off the board by eschewing easy field goals. Fortunately, those types of decisions never come back to haunt you and, hey, it isn't as if this is a big game.
--Florida may be the fastest team in America (as they bill themselves), but if there are no holes through which to run, what does it matter? Take away Percy Harvin's 46-yard gallop--and yes, that was a big play--and the Gators have just 23 yards on 15 carries.
--Even though it's 7-7, there have only been three punts, and none were returned. Two were touchbacks. So much for that factor, at least in the first half.
--The Gators' four leading tacklers after one half are their four defensive backs. If that trend continues in the second half, the Gators will lose. They need to put more pressure on Bradford, who has just been every bit worthy of his Heisman thus far.
--OU has 7 first half points. Here's how many points the Sooners scored in the first halves of their previous games this season:
Chattanooga..........50
Cincinnati..............21
Washington...........34
TCU......................28 (nation's No. 2 scoring defense)
Baylor...................35
Texas....................21
Kansas.................24
K-State.................55
Nebraska..............49
Texas A&M...........38
Texas Tech...........42
Okla. State............21
Missouri................38
--A halftime marching band (belonging to neither university) is playing along with Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine's "Do the Conga". Why??? Why??? Shouldn't there be a statute of limitations on that tune?
Why not just ask Crockett and Tubbs to be the sideline reporters?
