A SLING FOR SAM

ARLINGTON, Texas — Some thought this game wasn’t losable for the Oklahoma Sooners. Brigham Young proved otherwise with a 14-13 upset Saturday night at Jerry Jones World, and you can blame it on the guys who weren’t there.

And I don’t mean Sam Bradford (for a half) or Jermaine Gresham.

Turns out, those departed offensive linemen who protected Sammy B. so well — Duke Robinson, Phil Loadholt, Brandon Walker and Jon Cooper — were not so easily replaced after all.

The Sooners scored just 10 points with Bradford, before he went down and out on the first half’s final play from scrimmage, and the O-line’s troubles — rampant penalties, no blowing BYU off the ball — continued in the second half, when rookie Landry Jones needed all the help he could get.

Holding. False starts. Penalties came early and often. Cory Brandon alone was flagged six times.
