Prelims Over for OU

Oklahoma has finished the part of the schedule that serves as a prelim to the real schedule.
On Saturday, OU rolled over its fifth straight overmatched opponent when the Sooners crushed Baylor, 49-17, at Floyd Casey Stadium.
Through five games, the top-ranked Sooners have not been challenged.
That may change in the coming weeks. In the next seven games, OU plays four ranked opponents including two in the top 10.
So far, none of the five opponents have been able to slow down the high-flying Sooners.
Sam Bradford has been fabulous and OU has usually turned early big leads into easy victories.
It would be nice if that could continue but Texas, Kansas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State all look capable of putting up a good fight.
Still, it is hard not to be optimistic with the way Oklahoma has played the first five games.
Now, the hurdles will get bigger but as good as OU has looked it would appear capable of continuing to jump over just about everyone.
