Twice, OU's public address announcer told the crowd, "It was all done” by the backs.
In reality, it was all done by the offensive line.
For the third straight game, OU's blockers dominated the line of scrimmage as the Sooners rolled past Utah State 54-3 in front of 84,403 fans at Owen Field.
"Our guys opened up huge holes,” coach Bob Stoops said. "The offensive line did a great job today.”
As well as they played, though, the names of linemen Branndon Braxton, Jon Cooper, Phil Loadholt, Duke Robinson, Brian Simmons and Trent Williams were never called by the announcer.
