USC vs. Oklahoma

Undoubtedly was a popular National Championship pick at the beginning of the year.
Flash forward to today, and it was looking like a likely Sun Bowl matchup.
Now? Well, USC may still roll into El Paso, but Oklahoma is looking less worthy of the Sun Bowl.
Seriously.
Yes, OU has been ravaged by injuries. Everyone knows about Sam Bradford, and most serious fans know that Jermaine Gresham is out for the year as well. The offensive line–thin to start with–has been decimated by injuries too, and Ryan Broyles, the Sooners’ top returning receiver, also missed time due to injury.
Landry Jones has been ineffective and inconsistent when he does have time to throw, and has made a lot of decisions that you would expect a freshman quarterback to make, and the only thing saving Oklahoma from a six loss season may be Zac Robinson’s concussion if it keeps him out of next week’s Bedlam game.
The Sooners in the Independence Bowl. Who’da thunk it?
(OU is down 21 right now with two minutes to go in the third quarter against Texas Tech. Just watch them come back)
