Heisman Trophy leader? Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford threw four touchdown passes in the No. 5 Sooners' 65-21 rout of No. 2 Texas Tech on Saturday night.

That sent the noisy fans — who’d been challenged by Stoops this week for not being raucous enough — into a frenzy. The Sooners joined the record-setting sellout crowd of 85,646 by hopping up and down on the sideline as House of Pain’s “Jump Around” blared over the loudspeaker.

“It was the best feeling ever. The crowd was nuts,” cornerback Dominique Franks said.

Leach tried a desperation onside kick to start the second half, but that failed, and the next drive ended with a Shannon Woods fumble that Keenan Clayton returned to the 3 to set up another Brown touchdown.

“It’s no fun, but it’s something you have to learn from,” Batch said.

“Jump Around” played again in the break after the third quarter and one last time after Texas Tech scored a meaningless touchdown with 21 seconds left.

Fans got one last chance to cheer as Bradford and the Sooners took a rare victory lap.

Bradford’s four passes pushed him past the school record of 40 in a season, set by Jason White in his 2003 Heisman season. And maybe that kind of finish is in the cards for him, too.

“That’s great, but I’d much rather have the wins,” Bradford said. “As long as we win, I’m happy.”

Murray finished with 125 yards and two touchdowns, and Brown added 108 yards and three scores as the Sooners ran roughshod over a defense that had improved enough this year to turn the Red Raiders from just an outstanding offense to the complete package.

That was all torn apart on Owen Field, where the Sooners have won 24 straight games — the longest home winning streak in the country and one away from the school record.

“I don’t know what else, what other style points you’re looking for,” Stoops said. “That’s about as solid and complete as anybody’s played those guys.”
