We're going to do this in reverse. I'm going to give you the answers and then supply the questions.
The answers:
A. 19.97 percent.
B. 32.86 percent.
C. 1.23 percent.
Before we get to the questions, let it be noted Oklahoma pounded Texas A&M by a 65-10 count Saturday night before a crowd of 85,003 at Owen Field. A nice win for the home team, but the Aggies did some gift-wrapping with four turnovers.
The Sooners' defense excelled against the conference's No. 2 offense, but really no surprise there. OU's sputtering offense ran smoothly at times, but it came against the conference's No. 10 defense.
Cornerback Brian Jackson had a 52-yard fumble return for a touchdown; quarterback Landry Jones recovered nicely from his five interceptions last week; running back DeMarco Murray regained his game-breaker status; and the Sooners auditioned their third placekicker this season.
That pretty much covers the game. Now, back to the math.
As everyone knows, OU has battled the odds all season. After all, what are the odds of losing last year's Heisman Trophy winner, and America's best tight end, and three other starters, all to season-ending injuries?
