Thats how things remained until the end of regulation, overtime, and a shootout when three Dallas Stars (Jason Spezza, Tyler Seguin, and Ales Hemsky) and two Blackhawks (Jonathan Toews, Patrick Kane) would get Chicago the shootout victory and extra point.
Since 1999 Oklahoma has won 11 of 17 meetings and oddly enough one of teams also happens to be nationally ranked that second week in October. 2008 both teams were ranked at 5-0. 2003 there was the 65-13 Texas blowout. 2012 and 2013 back to back beatdowns by the Sooners 55-17 and 63-21.
Last weeks 37-33 home win over Oklahoma-yes I called it-was historic in that it marked the first time that the Horned Frogs defeated a highly ranked opponent at home.
One win and they are in. You'll have another chance to catch the Red For 90 crew at home on October 25th. FCDallas trying to get back to the promised land for the first time since 2011. Lets hope a healthy Fabian Castilo and company can help to make that a reality.
The Mavericks of a year ago were 49-33. An eight game improvement over 2012-2013. The biggest knock on Team Carlisle was the number of games lost after a double digit lead was built. Lack of defense was the downfall of the Mavericks in 2013.
