It was good to to leave all the problems of last season behind and see the fantastic new players of this season who delivered a victory for the sooners. Baker Mayfield played great at QB saturday night.  He threw for 388 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another to put any questions about who should start as QB behind him.  Joe Mixon I have been waiting to see if Joe Mixon could be as good as the hype around him for two years. Saturday night he did show he was as good as advertised Joe had 115 yards receiving including a 76 yard touchdown. Dede Westbrook the junior college transfer showed his talent by catching a td pass almost one handed.  Joe Meade the very tall receiver who has hands that can catch the ball one handed has his first touchdown as a receiver.

The OU defense played great and the few times that Akon got some yardage the Sooners would make them pay Hatari Bird delivered a bone crushing hit on the Akron receiver in the second half.  After those the receiver is watching for Hatari Bird instead of the football. Now the big test comes next week at Tennessee.
