As I always say, it’s a good thing for the soul of America whenever the ratings for college football games are nice and high.
Getting north of six million viewers for a non-rivalry Big 12 game is the definition of putting up big numbers. Clearly, people were very interested in watching the two best teams in the conference battle it out.
The game also didn’t disappoint at all. Hurts and company were down big to start. It looked like the Bears were going to run them right off of the field.
Instead, the Sooners and their star quarterback erased the 25 point hole and walked out of Waco with a win.
