Six Sooners going to the Super Bowl!

Just a little boost in the whole situation. Joseph Ossai, whose brain dead late hit gave the Chiefs the 15 yards they needed to kick the game winning field goal, is a second year defender, who was a Longhorn. For those of us who were pulling for the Chiefs, it's just a little icing on the cake.
No doubt about it Ossai went brain dead. Eagles are playing mistake free football though, have all season. I think it's Iggles-2 if I'm not mistaken.

Jalen Hurts' rise to prominence is really amazing. You have to wonder what would have happened if he had stayed as a backup at Alabama or transferred to a program that didn't allow him to substantially improve as a passer like he did at OU.
This was a bitter sweet moment. I was smiling because a longhorn mistake cost them the game. It was bitter because Joseph Ossai is a very good kid from Conroe, Texas. My sister and brother-in-law (high school assistant coach in Texas) live in Montgomery and knows the family. Immigrants from Nigeria that have worked their butts off to live the American dream.
I was told that Lane Johnson came to OU as a QB from Kilgore JC. He was pretty far down the rotation list of QBs. Rumor has it that Stoops told Lane that he would never see the NFL as a QB.......but, if he moved to the O-line and put on weight (75 lbs??). He was 6'6" and 250 at the time. He hit the weight room like a madman then he had a future. He was drafted Round 1, 4th pick.
I agree. Jalen was able to tweak his dual threat abilities under TBOW'S pass happy offense. Definitely paying dividends. A qb rushing for 1300 yds while passing for almost 4000? I give TBOW some credit but Jalen's a gamer.
