SoonerScoop podcast: Is there momentum for OU after the victory?
After the first quarter, the OU game went the way it needed to. Because if it had gone in any other way, oh boy, don’t even want to think about it.
A sluggish start, but OU found its footing and what it was supposed to in a 59-14 victory against visiting Maine on Saturday.
Head coach Brent Venables preached all week about Oklahoma focusing on Oklahoma. It’s true, just execute and don’t worry about the opponent.
It was a career day for Jovantae Barnes and a lot of young faces got a chance to make their mark.
Now it’s time for the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast from SoonerScoop to answer the question – what sort of real momentum can OU build upon after the victory?

Murdock summary:
Oklahoma beats Maine 59-14 and we honestly are trying to figure out what to make of it. The offense built on their run game after last week’s success against Ole Miss a week ago. Jovantae Barnes had a career day with 203 yards on the ground and is starting to show the reason he was so highly thought of even after battling injuries earlier in his career. Jackson Arnold came up with explosive plays in the passing game, including a 90-yard TD pass to J.J. Hester. The longest ever by an OU receiver on Owen Field.
The defense gave up a drive early but stiffened mightily until late in the game. What does this performance mean moving forward for the Sooners as they get back to SEC play next week against Missouri. Bowl eligibility is on the line as well. A lot of time for youngsters on the offensive line, new combinations in the secondary… There is no shortage of things to breakdown from a day full of playing time for those deeper down on the roster.
