Getting Worse, Sooner Rather Than Later

Traffic in South Florida delayed both schools team buses from arriving at the site of the BCS national title game on time as scheduled, a trivial tidbit to the season's final game you'd be excused for not knowing.

Oklahoma's record-setting offensive unit did eventually make it, but if you watched Florida's 24-14 win over the Sooners, you'd be excused for not knowing that either.

Because what took the field was trivial compared to the biblical 702-point offense that burned through the Big 12 and burned out scoreboards.

After a season in which they spent more time scoring in the 60s than Tiger Woods in his best week, Oklahoma's high-octane offense played like it had a pound of sugar in its gas tank, a herky-jerky rendering of a once prolific offense.

It was less like they were playing football and more like every member of the team had been simultaneously asked to recite the alphabet backwards. It was like watching Usain Bolt run the 100-meters only after twirling around enough to make himself dizzy.

And in the end it rendered 360 yards. Two interceptions. Fourteen measly points.

One awfully familiar feeling.

Another year, another bowl loss for Oklahoma. And it only seems to be getting worse.

Boomer'd Sooner: DeMarco Murray Won't Play in BCS National Championship

DeMarco Murray, Oklahoma's star running back, won't play in Miami against the Florida Gators on January 8th.

Murray injured his knee in the Big 12 Championship game against Missouri. Oklahoma's medical staff originally diagnosed the injury as a "deep bruise," but now say the sophomore has a "partial rupture of a hamstring tendon" in his left leg. Surgery is the only option now for Murray, but he'll be back next year.

In the meantime, what does this mean for the Big Game?

Looking back on this season, Murray has rushed for 1,002 yards and 14 touchdowns and caught 31 passes for an additional 395 yards and four touchdowns. And that's not counting his 774 yards in kickoff returns. Yeah, dude's good. He'll be missed.

But all is not lost for the Sooners.
