Oklahoma players and twelve Miami players were drafted including four first rounders and four second rounders. The head coaches of both teams would both go on to coach the Dallas Cowboys and they both remain the only people to ever win a national championship in college football and the Super Bowl. The Sooners, after moving up a couple spots in both polls, took on Randy Shannon's Miami team in front of a record-breaking 85,357 people at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. The Sooners were favored to defeat the ACC team by 10 to 11 points. Sam Bradford followed his record-breaking debut with another, completing 19 of his 25 pass attempts for 205 yards and tying the school record for most touchdown passes in a game with five. In addition, he extended his record-tying streak of consecutive pass completions to claim the record for his own. Bradford finished his first game with 18-straight pass completions. He came into his second game with four more straight completions, breaking the old record. Through two games, Bradford had completed 83% of his passes, had as many touchdown passes as incompletions (eight), and was ranked number one in the country for passing efficiency. For his performance, he was named the Walter Camp National Player of the Week and the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Week. Miami was able to keep the game close in the first half, going into halftime with the Sooners up 21–10. In the second quarter, Miami replaced their starting quarterback Kirby Freeman with backup Kyle Wright. Wright led the Hurricanes down the field to their only touchdown of the game. Wright was later pulled and Freeman went back into the game. Wright completed seven of his fourteen passes for 65 yards while Freeman completed three of his nine for seventeen yards. The Sooners pulled away in the second half. The 51 points Oklahoma scored against the Hurricanes was the most they had given up since 1998. Miami finished with 139 total yards, with 52 of them coming on their lone touchdown drive. Oklahoma cornerback Reggie Smith was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week for his performance. The Sooners finished with 411 total yards with 295 yards coming through the air and 116 yards on the ground. However, because of a new NCAA rule, a bad snap to the punter which resulted in a loss of 42 yards came off
