Sooners too much for Utah State
Sam Bradford threw for 255 yards and three touchdowns in another efficient performance, and No. 3 Oklahoma notched its third blowout of the season with a 54-3 win against the Utah State Aggies on Saturday in Norman, Okla.
Malcolm Kelly caught his sixth and seventh touchdown passes of the season and Allen Patrick showed his sprained ankle has fully healed with a 69-yard TD sprint as the Sooners (3-0) piled it on again.
Bradford, a redshirt freshman who came into the game as the nation’s top-rated passer, completed his first 11 passes – including two for scores – to reach 21 straight passes without an incompletion. He’d already had a school-record run of 22 straight completions that ended in the Sooners’ 51-13 rout of Miami last week.
Oklahoma has won its first three games by 158 points – the most dominant start to a season since 1972, when the Sooners outscored their first three opponents 169-6.
