Miami's defense is Bradford's next big test
The real ‘Mean Green' resides in Florida

But if Bradford plays half as well as he did Saturday night, OU should be 2-0.

The redshirt freshman completed 21 of 23 passes for 363 yards and three touchdowns in a record-setting, near-flawless debut as the Sooners hammered North Texas 79-10 in front of 84,472 at Owen Field.

"You can't get too caught up in the numbers,” Bradford said. "But had I come out and played poorly, I probably wouldn't have had as much confidence going into (Miami).”

Confidence, he'll need, because next week Bradford will face the real Mean Green.

In its opener, Miami's defense overwhelmed Marshall — colossally better than North Texas — collecting six sacks and four interceptions to coast past the Thundering Herd, 31-3.

On one play, Miami's freak of a defensive end — 6-foot-8, 282-pound Calais Campbell — snatched an interception at point-blank distance.
