This past year was a memorable one for OU. The Sooner offense set multiple NCAA records behind Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford. Here’s how the season shaped up:

Non-Conference schedule

Win over Tennessee-Chattanooga, 57-2.

Win over Cincinnati, 52-26.

Win over Washington, 55-14.

Win over TCU, 35-10.

Baylor

The Sooners traveled to Waco, Texas and beat the Bears 49-17.

Texas

In Dallas, the Sooners got ahead early and had a 1-point lead at halftime with the score at 21-20, but were outscored in the third quarter, 10-7.

In the fourth, Texas’ Colt McCoy led the Longhorns on 74-and 80-yard drives to give the Longhorns the lead.

Bradford, who threw for five touchdowns, was unable to mount a game-winning drive, and OU lost its first game of the season 45-35.

Middle linebacker Ryan Reynolds was injured in the loss.

Kansas

The Sooners returned to Norman and easily disposed of Kansas 45-31.

Kansas State

The Sooners made quick work of Kansas State, winning 58-35. OU scored 55 points in the first half.

Nebraska

With a 62-28 win over Nebraska, the Sooners began a streak of five games with 60 or more points.

Texas A&M

The Sooners rolled over Texas A&M 66-28 in College Station.

Texas Tech

The Red Raiders were two weeks removed from their upset of No.1 Texas when they came to Norman. The Sooners knew if they could beat then- No. 2 Tech, it would put them in a three-way tie for the Big 12 South.

After a slow first quarter that ended with a 7-0 OU lead, the Sooners caught fire, outscoring the Red Raiders 35-7 in the second en route to a 65-21 win.

Bradford improved his Heisman stock, throwing for four scores, while tailbacks Chris Brown and DeMarco Murray ran for five touchdowns.

OU, Texas and Tech now all had claims to the Big 12 South title.

Oklahoma State

In the final regular-season game, OU beat No. 12 OSU 61-41. In the third quarter Bradford sprinted toward the end zone and was flipped in the air while diving for the goal line. The flip was deemed his “Heisman moment”.

Dominating wins over two top-15 teams late in the year and a strong non-conference schedule gave OU the edge in the BCS poll over Texas, giving the OU a shot at the Big 12 title.

Missouri

The Sooners dominated the Tigers in the conference title game, winning their third-straight Big 12 Championship 62-21.

In the game, the Sooners set the record for most points scored in a single season.

Florida

Despite a slow start from the offense, the OU defense forced Florida’s Tim Tebow into two early interceptions.

The Sooners were unable to capitalize, however, and the NCAA’s most prolific offense was held scoreless in the first quarter.

In the second, the Gators scored first on a 20-yard pass to Louis Murphy to make the score 7-0. The Sooners answered quickly with a touchdown pass to junior tight end Jermaine Gresham.

After a few missed opportunities for the Sooners and a touchdown from Florida’s Percy Harvin, the Sooners entered the fourth quarter trailing 14-7.

OU tied the game early in the fourth when Gresham caught another touchdown pass. The Sooners then held the Gators to a field goal but were never able to regain the lead.

The Gators scored a final touchdown and won their second national championship in three years, 24-14. It was the fifth consecutive BCS bowl game loss for the Sooners.

In the Sooner offseason Bradford, Gresham, defensive tackle Gerald McCoy and offensive tackle Trent Williams, all who could have left for the NFL, decided to return to OU.

The decisions positions the Sooners for a high pre-season ranking in 2009.
