One of the Sooners big plays against Houston came when the Cougars brought pressure and Oklahoma caught the deep safety napping. I hate highlighting underclassmen, because they are so prone to making mental mistakes in big game atmospheres, but Brown is phenomenal on the O-line.

“I liken him to when I was with the Bears going against Brett Favre”, Schiano said, via ESPN.
Bob Stoops is a native of Youngstown, Ohio, so he’s well aware of the Buckeyes, but Ohio State is just the latest on an impressive list of non conference opponents.
Kendall’s remarks quickly drew the attention of Buckeyes players on social media, including defensive end Sam Hubbard and wide receiver Johnnie Dixon. “It’s going to be a big one, so I want them to be as loud as they can be”.
“Offensively everything goes through J.T. Barrett, an exceptional athlete at quarterback, throwing the football really well”, Coach Stoops said.
You have to appreciate Kendall getting into the mix, but it’s also important to remember the Buckeyes have yet to allow a touchdown this season. The redshirt junior first saw action back in 2014 when Braxton Miller re-injured his shoulder, so the Wichita Falls, TX product has plenty of experience quarterbacking the Buckeyes.
If the AP top 25 is to be believed, college football voters now think that this year’s Ohio State team is better than last year’s Ohio State team.

A victory would return the Sooners to their preseason position as one of the nation’s top teams. “They are a really good team that we are playing and they are not just good players but they are well-coached and good concepts”. The sophomore had 181 all-purpose yards against Houston, and then rushed for 117 yards against Louisiana-Monroe. Already 14 different players have caught a pass this year. Once again Evens turned the ball over and this time it was to defensive back Marshon Lattimore who returned it 40 yards for a touchdown.
“They play him everywhere, exceptional speed and quickness, definitely a guy you have to know where he is all the time”, Coach Stoops said. Mike Weber is the thunder. In recent years, Oklahoma has played home-and-home series with Tennessee, Notre Dame and Florida State in addition to the Ohio State series which will be played in Columbus next year. With a mostly new cast of starters, the Buckeyes are not saddled with some of the highest expectations in college football history.

The No. 3/4 Buckeyes (2-0) won’t be able to afford a half like that at 7:30 p.m. Saturday when they play No. 14 Oklahoma (1-1) in Norman, Okla. Coach Urban Meyer put most of the blame for the early struggles on the offensive line.
