The Oklahoma Sooners didn’t look ahead to Texas. They simply gave away the game they were dominating. The Colorado Buffaloes — after hesitating — decided to accept the donations that came their way, and a bombshell was born in Boulder.
In the most shocking upset of the young season, the No. 3 team in the land lost a 24-7 second-half lead to a scuffling program looking for any remote sign of hope. The homestanding Buffs never gave up, scratching and clawing on every single snap in a profound display of gritty determination. But at the end of the day, the simple and sober fact is that the Sooners handed this game to Colorado on a silver platter. An extended sequence midway through the fourth quarter told you all you needed to know about this mind-boggling affair, which took a big bite out of next week’s Red River Shootout in Dallas.
As for OU, the Sooner Schooner got grounded on an afternoon when nobody expected it.
