The sophomore threw for 321 yards in the first half alone, the second-highest one-half total in school history. Sam Bradford threw for 350 against North Texas in 2007. It marked the second consecutive week that an Oklahoma player won one of the conference's weekly honors. Punter Tress Way was named co-special teams player of the week after the season opener.

WAY EARNS WEEKLY HONOR
Oklahoma punter Tress Way has been named Co-Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Week. The sophomore was cited for his work against Utah State in last Saturday's season opener, a 31-24 win. He shared the honor with Kansas State kicker Anthony Cantele.

Way launched eight punts for an average of 46.6 yards with three downed inside the 20. He boomed an 85-yarder, which was the longest in Big 12 history and the third-best in OU history. It was the longest punt for the Sooners since 1970.

The Tulsa product also kicked off six times. Utah State's average return was 21.8 yards and their average starting field position was their own 25-yard line.

MEDIA REACTION
Jake Trotter of the Oklahoman: "Oklahoma's got problems bigger than kicker. Like being outplayed by a middle-of-the-road WAC team. On both sides of the ball. At Owen Field. The entire game. Sure, the Sooners prevailed 31-24 on the scoreboard Saturday night. But the final stats tell the real story of this opener. Utah..."

Mike Jones of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram: "Oklahoma's record-setting 69th consecutive capacity crowd was cranked at kickoff, anticipating an easy-money 800th victory over out-of-class Utah State in a no-thanks-for-the-memories wipeout of a 2009 season best forgotten. They left shaking their heads. Preseason..."
