Request granted. Four plays into its not-so-epic struggle with Utah State, OU pulled out its latest in a series of tricky switcheroos. Quarterback Sam Bradford flipped the ball to a reversing Malcolm Kelly, who then flipped it to a reversing Iglesias, and here came a 35-yard touchdown run Saturday that did much more than ignite a 54-3 rout and another delirious crowd at Owen Field.

The double reverse sent spinning the heads of coordinators who soon have to defend this Oklahoma offense. Starting with Texas' Duane Akina, who had problems of his own Saturday in trying to corral the mighty Golden Knights of Central Florida.

For the third straight week, OU offensive chief Kevin Wilson came up with a new, tricky reverse. For the third straight week, quarterback Sam Bradford's passing percentage paralleled a crack NBA foul shooter.
