Oklahoma showed West Virginia the woodshed Saturday night as the Sooners jumped the Mountaineers for a 34-6 halftime spanking and  finished off the home team 56-28 when the clock said 0:00.  Fact was, OU’s offense was too much for the West Virginia defense as the line play was dominated by the Sooners. As for West Virginia, mistakes were the bug-a-boo as the home team’s miscues were fatal by half.
