TWTW: Da U Takes Out OU 21-20

((HT: CBSSports))

"It's our time," said linebacker Jordan Futch. "We are back. We are still The U."

Oklahoma's last trip to the Hurricanes' home field was last January, when it lost the BCS national championship game to Florida.

This one almost certainly ended any Sooners national title hopes, too. Landry Jones threw for 188 yards and DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown combined to rush for 151 more for Oklahoma (2-2).

"They made the plays down the stretch that made the difference,"
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. "We couldn't come up with the plays to make it happen."

The biggest mental breakdown came on the pass that gave Miami the 21-10 lead. Travis Benjamin went downfield on an out-and-up route. The DB covering at the line of scrimmage bit on the out, and thought he was going to get help deep.

It wasn't there, and neither were the Sooners...
