Time marches on...
It was a year ago this week that Oklahoma's Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Sam Bradford sustained a season and college career ending injury against Texas in the Cotton Bowl at the annual Red River Rivalry game in Dallas. Texas won the game dropping Oklahoma to 2-3 for the season.
Fast forward a year. Sam Bradford is now in the NFL and leading his team, the St. Louis Rams, to a 2-2 season so far. Bradford signed a record 50 million dollar guaranteed contract after being selected 1st in the NFL draft back in April.
His counterpart last season at Texas, Colt McCoy, is also in the NFL. He is currently 3rd on the depth chart at quarterback for the Cleveland Browns and has seen no action in the regular season so far. Colt signed a contract for something like 650 thousand dollars a year, not bad, but not even in the same stratosphere as the money Bradford got.
Oklahoma beat Texas this season and they are currently 5-0. Texas with the loss drops to 3-2 and out of the polls for the first time in 10 years. I wonder what this year will bring?
