GRR: Oklahoma Sooners
The University of Oklahoma defeated North Texas 62-7 Saturday in a nib-conference game on Senior Appreciation Day.
The Sooners, a little stung by their overtime loss in the Big XII 7s last week, bounced back nicely against the Southwest Conference Champions, showcasing some excellent defense and good work in the pack.
The Big XII 7s will kick off Saturday in Norman, Okla., with eight teams vying for a spot in USA Rugby’s College 7s National Championships.
LSU is in an excellent position to win the Red River Conference after beating previously undefeated Oklahoma 43-12 Saturday.
The Tigers broke open a fairly close game just before halftime with a try from prop Christian Brower that, with fullback Alec Miller’s conversion, made it 22-7.
If the University of Oklahoma wants to win the Red River, the Sooners will have to go through LSU this weekend to do it.
OU is 4-0 with the Tigers and Texas left to play, while LSU is 2-0 with Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and Baylor coming after Oklahoma this weekend.
Oklahoma is still undefeated in the Red River Conference, but that’s not the real story of the conference’s action this weekend.
