Oklahoma off to a lightning fast start tonight in Bedlam as they jumped up 21-0 quickly in the first quarter.
The Cowboys offense was sputtering early, and looked to be having their most successful drive of the night stall out in the red zone. But, after an incomplete pass on third down, Brendan Radley-Hiles picked up a personal foul for talking trash to Oklahoma State’s Dillon Stoner.
The play resulted in an automatic first down to keep the drive alive – and the Cowboys promptly scored a touchdown on the next play.
Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit, who are calling the game on ABC, had some very strong words about Radley-Hiles after this play – citing his issues with personal fouls all season long.
Herbstreit even went as far as to say he would bench him if he were making the call.
“I don’t know the young man personally,” Herbstreit said. “I wouldn’t play him. That’s just the way I’m wired. I love his ability, I love his knowledge of the defense, I love his spirit. But it happens so often. You have to consider sitting him on the sideline. If he is not going to learn by being benched every time it happens then I don’t how a guy learns.”
Oklahoma currently leads Bedlam 27-10 early in the second quarter.
