Analyzing the finer points of Oklahoma's 41-20 win Saturday over Texas Tech:
• Bob Stoops said it. Josh Heupel said it. Jay Norvell said it. The Sooners were adamant all the week that they were going to feature Damien Williams at running back. Saturday, they made good on that promise. Williams got his first career start and manned the position almost exclusively, and to sparkling results.
He rushed for just 48 yards on 14 carries, but caught six passes for 82 yards, including a 38-yarder down the sideline that set up OU’s fourth touchdown in the third quarter.
