OU defeats Temple 51-3 in first game in SEC

OKLAHOMA SPONSORED BY GRABS, ACCURATE OF TULSA. >> WELL, WE ARE BACK OR READINGS AND WELCOME IN EVERYBODY. OPENING NIGHT FOR HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL HERE IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA. FENNELL GAME OF THE WEEK THAT BELLE OF THE BALL HERBS AND IT'S PRETTY GOOD WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO WANT TO WATCH THOSE HIGHLIGHTS. BIG SPIEL ALSO COMING IN JUST A BIT. BUT FIRST, WELL, A FIRST FOR OU FOOTBALL IN THE ONE 100TH SEASON OF MEMORIAL STADIUM. THE SOONERS PLAY IN A FRIDAY NIGHT HOME GAME FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER SEASON. NUMBER ONE IS A MEMBER IN THE SOUTHEASTERN BRENT VENABLES AND TEAM WON. 34 HOSTING TEMPLE LOWLY TEMPLE TONIGHT. THAT'S WHERE WE FIND DAN LINDBLAD. HE GOT TO TAKE THIS THING IN STAYING DRY AS WELL. DAN, QUITE THE WAY TO START THE SEASON FOR THE SOONERS, ESPECIALLY NEW DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, ZACH ALLEY, RIGHT? YEAH, KATIE, WE WERE DODGING JUST A HANDFUL OF RAINDROPS, BUT THE CAMERA IS OKAY WITH YOU FOR MOST OF THAT, RIGHT? YEAH. >> LIKE YOU MENTIONED, WE'RE ALL EXCITED ABOUT WHAT THIS OU DEFENSE IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE. AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, MORE EXCITED ABOUT THE DEFENSE, THEN WITH THE OFFENSE MIGHT LOOK LIKE AND WE'RE GOING TO START THAT THING WITH THE TURNOVERS. OU FORCING 6 TEMPLE TURNOVERS IN THIS GAME. THEY GOT EARLY AND OFTEN AND IT WAS A LOT OF THE GUYS THAT WERE USED TO SEEING GUYS LIKE ETHAN DOWNS IN BILLY BOWMAN AND DANNY STUTSMAN. THEY WERE VERY ACTIVE ALONG THE LINE AND THE DEFENSIVE BACKS WERE GETTING INTO THE PASSING LANES. AND THAT WAS REALLY JUST WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO AGAINST HIM. AND NOT EXPECTED TO BE FANTASTIC. AND THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE. BUT AGAIN, THERE ARE NO FCS OPPONENT AND WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT SOME OF THOSE HIGHLIGHTS AGAIN, TALKING ABOUT THE DEFENSE WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO BE. AND AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE'RE USED TALKING YOU IN TALKING ABOUT THE QUARTERBACK PLAY AND, YOU KNOW, KYLER MURRAY, BAKER, MAYFIELD, JACKSON, ARNOLD ISN'T EXACTLY SUPPOSED TO BE IN THAT CATEGORY. AND WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT, WHICH IS WHAT BRINGS US TO THE DEFENSE. AND AS YOU MENTIONED, ZACH ALI COMING IN HERE AND TRYING TO TRANSFORM THIS THING INTO THE PAST OF WHAT USED TO BE UNDER LINCOLN RILEY AND ALEX GRINCH. YOU SEE DOWN FORCING THE FUMBLE DAY. JOHN TERRY IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO JUMP ON IT. THAT LED TO SOME POINTS. AND THEN LATER, A BALL IS TIPPED AROUND. WE THOUGHT IT WAS INCOMPLETE, BUT IT FALLS INTO THE HANDS OF CONNIE WALKER THAT WOULD LEAD TO A FIELD GOAL. AND THEN JUST SHORTLY AFTER THAT, IT'S ANOTHER FUMBLE. THIS ONE RECOVERED BY BROKEN ARROW NATIVE ROBERT SPEARS, JENNINGS, THE SOONERS SOURCING 6 TEMPLE TURNOVERS. JACKSON LEAD THAT IN 2 33 POINTS. NOW LOOKING AT THE OFFENSE, NOTHING REALLY FLASHY. NO BIG PLAYS. NO DEEP BOMBS. ARNOLD FUND OUR SHARP THE TIDE IN FIRST IN THE 1ST QUARTER THAT PUT THE SOONERS UP 7, NOTHING BUT HIS FAVORITE TARGET. AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE THIS A LOT THIS YEAR. DEION BURKS THE PURDUE TRANSFER MADE A LOT OF NOISE IN THE FIRST GAME AS THE SOONER WE SAW HIM IN THE SPRING. THIS GAME 6 CATCHES 7 TARGETS. YOU'LL HAVE 36 YARDS. HE'S AVERAGING 6 YARDS PER CATCH, BUT HE HAD 3 TOUCHDOWNS. HE'S GOING TO BE THAT END ZONE TARGET. IT APPEARS FOR ARNOLD AND HE MADE A COUPLE OF GREAT CATCHES AS WELL. AND OBVIOUSLY YOU WANT TO SEE THOSE THINGS DURING THIS EARLY PRO NONCONFERENCE SLATE AGAINST A TEAM LIKE TEMPLE NO USE TO LEADING RUSHER. SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. TAYLOR TATUM AND SAME FOR ENGLAND WHERE YOU'RE TO LIVING RUSHES FOR OU. THEY JUST GOT 4TH QUARTER WORK. AND IF YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT MAYBE ANOTHER ISSUE, IT'S GOING TO BE 3RD DOWNS. THEY FOR 11 AT ONE POINT UNTIL TATUM RAN IT IN FOR A TOUCHDOWN IN THE 4TH QUARTER. SO RUSHING GAME NEEDS TO BE WORKED ON. WE KNEW THE OFFENSIVE LINE WAS KINDA GOING TO PATRICK. THEY LOST A LOT OF GUYS INCLUDING ANDREW RAIN TO THE DRAFTEES WITH THE PANTHERS NOW GOING UNDRAFTED. SO YOU WANT TO SEE THE RUNNING AND GET BETTER. YOU ALSO WANT TO SEE THOSE 3RD DOWNS GET BETTER ON THE BRIGHT SIDE. THEY WERE 100% ON 4TH DOWN CONVERSIONS. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE SOMETHING AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO THE FUTURE. BUT THE SOONERS WIN GOING AWAY. FINAL SCORE. THEY AT 51 TO 3. HAVE TO LOOK OVER HERE TO MY RIGHT. THE SCHOOL BOARD'S DOING UBER STUMBLE. SO 51 TO 3 THE FINAL HERE TO BUILD ITS CORE FIELD GOAL LAID AGAINST THAT SECOND STRING OU DEFENSE. BUT REALLY NOT TOO MUCH COMPLAIN ABOUT IN THE FIRST GAME AS AN SEC TEAM HERE K. GOLF CLOUD, BUDDY. I DIDN'T GET TO SEE ANY OF THE GAME AND I FEEL LIKE I DIDN'T HAVE TO. THAT WAS A GREAT RECAP. TH
