ep threat. The Sooners quarterback has hooked up with Westbrook for five touchdowns of at least 40 yards in the first two Big 12 Antworten

DALLAS -- Baker Mayfield rolled left, set his feet and threw deep. Dede Westbrook was already behind the Texas defenders with his track-type speed when he caught another long touchdown pass for No. 20 Oklahoma.With Sterling Shepard now an NFL rookie, and Westbrook finally recovered from a lingering pulled leg muscle that bothered him throughout preseason practice and early in the season, Mayfield has a new go-to deep threat. The Sooners quarterback has hooked up with Westbrook for five touchdowns of at least 40 yards in the first two Big 12 games.That just goes to show, when hes healthy, nobody can beat this speed, Mayfield said after the Sooners 45-40 victory over Texas on Saturday. Thats the thing that Ive always loved to exploit, the fact that he can outrun people.The 71-yarder in the first half of the Red River rivalry Saturday was the longest touchdown pass ever by Oklahoma in 111 games against Texas. Westbrook caught all 10 passes thrown his way, including scoring plays of 42 and 47 yards, for 232 yards -- a Sooners record for any game.It means a lot to me. Coming from a small town, its really not possible for many of us to make it out, said Westbrook, a senior from Cameron, Texas, a town of about 5,400 people just more than a two-hour drive south of the State Fair of Texas, where the Red River matchup is played each year.After an open date that gave some extra time to heal, Westbrook had seven catches for 158 yards in the Big 12 opener at TCU on Oct. 1. He had TD catches of 67 and 40 yards in that game.Westbrooks 17 catches for 390 yards in the first two Big 12 games shattered the school record for the most receiving yards in consecutive games (Ryan Broyles had 339 yards in a two-game stretch five years ago). That was after 17 catches for 134 yards without a score in the Sooners three non-conference games in September.Its been good the last two weeks to get him healthy, offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said. Hes a big part of what were doing.While two non-conference losses ended any realistic chance of a second consecutive College Football Playoff appearance for the Sooners, theyre off to a good start in pursuit of their 10th Big 12 title. They host Kansas State on Saturday.Shepard had 86 catches for 1,288 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior last season before being a second-round draft pick by the New York Giants. That left Westbrook the top returning receiver with 46 catches for 743 yards.Westbrook got to Oklahoma as a transfer from Blinn College in Texas, where as a sophomore he led all junior college players with 1,487 yards and 13 touchdowns while playing only eight games. His 76 catches ranked second.That was after a freak injury in high school when he got hurt while playing defense, and ended up tangled with a receiver.As he came down, he put his knee up to break his fall, and I kind of landed on top of him. Me being on top of him, his knee kind of went up into my stomach and he ruptured my small intestines, Westbrook said. The doctor told me there was a huge possibility that I wouldnt play football again, but I overcame those thoughts and here I am now. Authentic Custom Rams Jersey . Lack made 20 saves for his third shutout of the season as the Canucks blanked the St. Louis Blues 1-0 in the first post-Olympic game for both teams night. Cheap Custom Rams Jersey . By having more great seasons. Manning was the only unanimous choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL All-Pro team Friday. http://www.customramsjersey.com/custom-taylor-rapp-jersey-large-78h.html .C. -- After a listless first half, the Washington Wizards used a big third quarter run to beat the Charlotte Bobcats Bradley Beal scored 21 points and the Wizards used a 17-0 run in the third quarter to take control of what had been a close game and beat the Bobcats 97-83 on Tuesday night. Custom Rams Jersey China . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Custom Rams Jerseys . The Olympic champion curler and TSN curling analyst immediately went online to look at the Halls long list of honoured members. Thats when the enormity of the honour sunk in. COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When youve been to the final four five straight times and eight of the past nine years, youre not going to garner much sympathy in a sport as deep as volleyball.But falling one win shy of a national championship yet again didnt settle well for Texas coach Jerritt Elliott or his Longhorns, beaten by Stanford 3-1 on Saturday night at Nationwide Arena.It stinks going home with the silver, said Elliott, who has guided Texas to eight final fours in his 16 years. I walk away from this really, really devastated that we didnt win this.When youve been the best, second is tough. Texas (27-5) knows the feeling of being No. 1, having won this thing in 1988 and 2012. But instead of hoisting up the trophy a third time -- something that seemed like a real possibility two nights earlier, when Texas stunned No. 1 Nebraska 3-0 -- the Longhorns were left with talking about coming achingly close again.Junior Ebony Nwanebu and freshman Micaya White buried each other in a long embrace, while the Cardinal celebration erupted around them. Sophomore Yaasmeen Bedart-Ghani immediately found Elliott.Yaazie put her arm around me and said, Were going to get you one of these next year, Coach, Elliott said. Were going to make this thing happen.It wont be easy, considering Stanford returns much of its talent. But Nwanebu could pull this team together in the same way that Stanfords Inky Ajanaku did this season.Nwanebu, who finished with 16 kills and hit .289, struggled to get out full sentences in the postmatch news conference.Its weird to think I have one more season, she said. I have one more season to win a championship. I know Caya said in the locker room that all of us need to work our butts off to get to this point next year and have a different outcome. Im going to do everything in my power to do that.Poised and powerful against the Cornhuskers, Texas looked like it might have the kind of hitters who could counter the No. 1 blocking team in the nation. Instead, the Longhorns found themselves scrambling for another plan against the Cardinal trees -- 6-foot-6 Kathryn Plummer, 6-foot-6 Audriana Fitzmorris and 6-foot-8 Merete Lutz.Texas senior Paulina Prieto Cerame, who had 12 kills against Nebraska, managed just two against Stanford, with eight errors. That forced Elliott to shift his lineup, moving Bedart-Ghani to the outside and briinging in freshman Orie Agbaji to play middle.ddddddddddddTexas was never able to find the magic that had the Cornhuskers on the defensive almost the entire evening on Thursday.With Paulina struggling, we were against the wall, Elliott said. We made a switch, and it became more difficult, because the young middle who came in wasnt that experienced. It made us a lot more predictable.The fact that Texas likely overachieved in 2016 was little consolation on this night. The Longhorns were the NCAA runner-up a year ago and started the season at No. 2 in the AVCA poll, but they were dealt a blow to their depth in the preseason. Two-time All-American middle blocker Chiaka Ogbogu was declared academically ineligible.It took an emotional toll on this team early on.This team had its challenges, Elliott said. Nicole Dalton and Paulina and Chloe [Collins] and our captains were committed to what this program is about, and thats finding a way to make it happen.Nebraska swept Texas to open the season, and Kansas secured the Big 12 title. But the Longhorns gelled in the NCAA tournament, staving off elimination when they trailed throughout the fifth set in the regional semifinals against BYU, only to survive 16-14.The way they grew and developed, I couldnt be more proud of this group and the fight they had, Elliott said. Late in October, I dont think anybody would have picked us to be in the finals.Next year, the story could have a happier ending. Texas brings in the top two recruits in the nation in 6-foot-2 outside hitter Lexi Sun and 6-foot-3 middle blocker Brionne Butler. Ashley Shook should contend for the starting setter spot as a freshman.With White, Nwanebu, Ogbogu, Bedart-Ghani and starting middle blocker Morgan Johnson returning, Texas is a good bet to return to this spot, and it might be prepared to win a pair in the final four in 2017.Were ready to take that next step, Elliott said. I think weve got the pieces to do that. Well see when we have competition and chemistry and how Ill manage that; thats going to be a big part.I have to walk away from what these seniors have meant and reflect on how proud the program is. And I know well get back here, and I know well win one in the next couple of years. ' ' '
