00:00So, outside of all of that, what can you kind of make of, you know, Jackson's performance
00:08and what that means, at least to him, because this is one of the games where all the fans
00:11did storm the field and a lot of emotions were kind of coming across the camera there
00:15at the closure.
00:16Yeah, you want to see it for the big sophomore, I guess, you know, they've sort of been moving
00:21the goalpost for him there at quarterback, but if it took the wheels to get it done,
00:27and he certainly went on that with the opportunities that he has had, you look at his last five
00:32starts there, more than 15 carries, but struggle to really get it over 50 rushing yards.
00:37And today was just an absolute breakthrough.
00:40They were trying to send it downfield and it opened up a couple of nice seams, a couple
00:43of lanes, and he didn't think twice.
00:45And, you know, for a young quarterback like this, there's, you know, there's a bit more
00:50juice on the line going in to the off season as well.
00:53You want to show your worth to this team and show what you have, you know, sort of
00:57built up there through the regular season.
00:59So I thought it was a very impressive performance there from Jackson Arnold.
01:02And you look at their third down conversion, it was very efficient football.
01:06They didn't make a lot of mistakes.
01:08It was gritty.
01:09It was hard-nosed.
01:10And that's the style they expect to see from the Sooners.
01:13Is it a little too late?
01:14Yeah, probably.
01:15But it's a show of what they really can achieve when they come ready to rock and roll against
01:20one of the better teams in the country.
01:22Absolutely.
01:23Probably starting to get some high hopes for next year already.
01:26But as mentioned, they will get a chance to dance in the postseason.
01:29We just don't know what that'll look like quite yet.
01:31Now, kind of pivoting over to another big game of the day before we start looking at
01:36the playoff bracket.
01:37I've talked about it a little bit throughout the day here on SportsGrid TV.
