Where’s the downfield game?

Missouri leads 3-0 with 3:19 left in the first quarter, and OU has 22 total yards. The Sooners have tried two runs, both losses by Allen Patrick, and five passes. Four of the five have been swing passes, and the only downfield throw came on 3rd-and-23 when Sam Bradford threw incomplete, well short of the first-down marker.

Here’s my suggestion. Throw the ball downfield. The Sooners have to loosen up the Mizzou defense.
