Wrapping up Bedlam

Jordan Thomas: “We had a lot of unfinished business after last year, the whole punt return deal and whatnot. Obviously, my whole mindset was going out there and doing it for my teammates and my seniors, sending them out with a bang.” (NewsOK)

Good stuff on OU’s overhaul by David Ubben. (Sports on Earth)

All five of OSU’s starting offensive linemen are set to return in 2016, as are all of its running backs. So let the next month be a place to start progressing. (Tulsa World)

Jenni Carlson: OSU had a chance to win a Big 12 title, to spoil OU’s run at a spot in the Final Four, but in the end, the Cowboys just didn’t have the energy. In the end, the toll of all those snaps and all those injuries was not only evident but also crushing. (NewsOK)

Could OU be this year’s Ohio State? Sure looks that way. (ESPN)

Baker Mayfield’s Heisman moment might have also effectively ended the game. (NewsOK)

The Sooners’ 44 first-half points were the most they had scored in a Bedlam half since 1970, when they put up 45 before halftime on the way to a 66-6 win. The 44 points also marked Oklahoma’s second-biggest point total in either half against Oklahoma State since 1946. (ESPN)

Berry is correct here. Who saw this coming from OU? (NewsOK)

Since the start of the 2010 season, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma have been the most consistently successful Big 12 football programs. In advance of Saturday’s contest, the Sooners had a .750 winning percentage in conference games played since 2010. The Cowboys were next with a .712 success rate, while Baylor was third at .706.

J.W.’s senior night

“When I walked out, I saw my mom. She was crying, and that was hard just because you see her crying, and I’ve got all these emotions built up.” (O’Colly)

Great J.W. gamer here by Mark Cooper. (Tulsa World)

J.W.: “Woke up today ready to go and then as we kind of went through walkthroughs and meetings, I could just feel the emotions building up.” (NewsOK)

[J.W. Walsh wakes up, stabs leg with icicle to make sure he still bleeds, eats breakfast of rocks/glass … runs to Edmond and back] Go time.
