Let Tony do the scouting, you just make the pick.

The Longhorns destroyed OU with a score of 49-0. The team is looking like the biggest flop of the season. Five Oklahoma players combined to complete just 17 passes for 39 yards and two interceptions while quarterback Dillon Gabriel was sidelined because of injury.

The 49-point margin of defeat was by far the largest for the Sooners in the Red River Rivalry, surpassing losses by 33 points in 1941 and 2005. It also ranks as the program’s most devastating defeat overall since falling to Nebraska by 62 points in 1997. Oklahoma’s first shutout since 1998 ended an FBS-best run of 167 games, including at least one offensive score.

NFL Twitter launched at the Oklahoma Sooners

Eric Gray, a running back, threw an interception in Wildcat formation. And it did not go as planned. Although the jump shot was great (so great that if he kept up, NBA will probably offer a deal to him), it just did not work out.

One of the season’s worst play calls might be this one. The call is for a jump pass from a running back, and it is a Wildcat play at the 20-yard line. Fans looked visibly disappointed in the stadium. But let’s see how the fans behind their keyboards reacted.

A user tweeted this. It is common to hail ‘Kobe!’ after missing a shot because the legendary NBA hooper missed a total of 14,481 in his entire career.

Another user used an NBA meme, but this features a little kid who falls down. Fans can at least utter an ‘aw!’ to this.
