No. 10 Oklahoma Routs No. 17 Florida State, 47-17

Briefly, it seemed like Oklahoma-Florida State would be a track meet. Then the Sooners took off, leaving the Seminoles to stumble, again and again.

Oklahoma beat Florida State, 47-16, and the margin of victory was only closer than 35 because of an FSU touchdown as time expired. Landry Jones carved Florida State’s secondary into a handsome pile of deli meat, throwing for 380 yards and four TDs and getting over 300 of those yards and three of those scores before halftime. Florida State’s defense gave up 480 yards in total, and gave up more through the air to Jones in the first half than it did to Samford in total last week.

The Seminoles got the Jimbo Fisher era off on the right foot with a season- opening rout of Samford, 59-6. Fisher takes over the reins in Tallahassee following the departure of Hall of Fame coach Bobby Bowden, who stepped down last season and the hope is that a veteran team can lead FSU back to the top of the ACC.

Bob Stoops’ Sooners have a lot to prove following a less-than stellar eight- win season in 2009. With a full array of weapons on offense and defense, Oklahoma could very well be a factor in the Big 12 again this year. It wasn’t pretty by any stretch last week, but OU began the season with a victory, outlasting a pesky Utah State squad, 31-24 and earning the 800th victory in program history.
