Bradford's steady play steers Sooners past Horns

From the AP via ESPN:

Facing a tough foe in a hostile setting, Bradford looked as comfortable as he did in his record-setting first few games against overmatched opponents, throwing for three touchdowns and hardly making a mistake while steering the No. 10 Sooners past the No. 19 Longhorns 28-21 in their annual grudge match Saturday.

And

It didn't have to happen. Texas had four possessions after Bradford's go-ahead pass to Kelly, but Colt McCoy only got the Longhorns across midfield on two plays. He threw an interception on one, then never even got off the second because of a false start.

"We just couldn't finish," said Jermichael Finley, who had four catches for 149 yards, the most ever for a Texas tight end. He had gains of 55 and 58 yards that set up Texas' first two touchdowns, the first going to Jordan Shipley and the second TD to Finley, putting the Longhorns ahead 14-7.

"We've just got to look over this and keep on going, keep on rolling," Finley said.

McCoy, who showed signs of a concussion while getting battered last weekend, played with his throwing arm bandaged from mid-forearm to biceps. While his body held up and his stats were pretty good (19-of-26 for 324 yards) this just wasn't his day.

Okay, of course I would have preferred a win, but all in all, the 'Horns played better than I expected. They were definitely in it for almost the entire game, and if two or three plays had gone differently, they might have actually won it. Like I said, a win would have been nice, but this is the best I've seen Texas play this year--the Longhorn nation always gets fired up for OU.

Anyway, if Texas can keep up this kind of intensity for the rest of the season, maybe we'll play in the Outback Bowl or something. Maybe we'll beat the Aggies. That'd be nice.
