TWTW: Oklahoma Splits Saturday, State Slows Baylor While OU Loses To A&M

((HT: newsok.com))

Saturday was a weird day for OKlahoma-based football...

First, OSU can win the Big 12/11/10 South Division. They can win the Big 12/11/10 title, and they can go to a BCS bowl.

The Cowboys defense held Robert Griffin to only 267 passing yards. Brandon Weeden lit up Baylor for 435. The team put up a school-record 725 yards. Weeden broke two school records with 34 completions and his passing yardage.

Justin Blackmon, back after a one-game suspension for his DUI coming home from the Cowboys game, had 173 yards receiving, 69 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

For Oklahoma, they once again started another week by giving up points and an early lead. The HQ was trying to figure out where this particular Texas A&M team came from- scoring 19 unanswered points behind QB Ryan Tannehill's fairly flawless first half.

But, then in the second half, Tannehill became human and the Sooners closed the gap to 19-17. OU tried a fake field goal for the lead, but the pass was dropped in the endzone.

A&M then went down the field to score and put the game out of reach.

It's been a rough week for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. On Saturday, they got manhandled by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, ruining their undefeated season.

And then there's this. Wide Receiver Justin Blackmon, a potential All-american candidate, leading the NCAA in multiple receiving statistics, was arrested early this morning while speeding through Carrollton, Texas...and charged with DUI. Before you ask, Blackmon was apparently at Jerry World, watching former teammate and current Dallas Cowboy Dez Bryant play on Monday Night Football.

This...well, there really isn't anything good that can be said about this. We don't know what Blackmon's status is for the next game...or games. Oklahoma State, for their part, didn't say much, apparently Coach Mike Gundy ducked his media interviews for the day. The school did release a statement, essentially saying...."No comment".

We don't normally hammer on athletes for occasionally making mistakes, because they do happen and since they are athletes, it gets magnified. However, this was just plain stupid. The one question not asked in all of this is where Blackmon got his tickets...or was he on the sidelines?

Either way...big problem, we'll see when, if or how it gets addressed in the next couple of days.

Here's how our friends at KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City addressed it...

Remember what we always say about things that happen after 1AM...???
