As the Sooners and Cougars kicked off a jam-packed day of high-profile, ranked match ups, the national media set their eyes on Houston's NRG Stadium. Here are some of their reactions (and witty replies to those reactions).
First Half
@TravHaneyESPN Houston defense definitely looking Big 12 caliber

If Houston really has to make a presentation to the Big 12 it should just show this game.

Oklahoma rushes 3, its DBs still can’t cover. That’s horrendous.

Becoming abundantly clear OU might only have one reliable CB this season. #OUvsUH

Ah the year's first shots of Mike Stoops in the booth looking like an angry child trying to escape his playpen
— SPENCER HALL (@edsbs) September 3, 2016
Oklahoma with so many dumb penalties.
— Dr. Saturday (@YahooDrSaturday) September 3, 2016
That was a hell of a half in Houston. Getting this Saturday started right.
— Travis Haney (@TravHaneyESPN) September 3, 2016
Oklahoma is averaging 10.7 yards per play, but Houston ran 26 more plays in the 1st half. Some dumb OU penalties kept Houston on the field.

Second Half
Bit too much defense for the Big 12, Houston. Take that business elsewhere.

Cougs pass rushers are all up in Baker Mayfield's business this half.

Burn two timeouts, kick an impossible field goal, look like you have no idea they could return it...
— Kyle Harper (@Oklahomaharper) September 3, 2016
Oklahoma just stood and watched like they didn't know Wilson was there. Of course, linemen aren't equipped to cover kicks.

Houston with a Kick Six. What a play! pic.twitter.com/4tPy4L9zM5

Breaking news: Houston has decided not to attend in-person meetings w/Big 12 officials next week. Instead they’re sending UH-OU game film

Dear God. If it is Your will, please deliver us some #Sooner magic!
— JP Audas (@jp_audas) September 3, 2016
Only 12 carries between Mixon (7.8 yards per carry) and Perine (5.2 yards). OU offense can't get on the field. https://t.co/v5lJEj26pj

Not like this Oklahoma. Not like this.
— Dr. Saturday (@YahooDrSaturday) September 3, 2016
Fumble! New life for Oklahoma as Houston nearly had a game-sealing score but fumbled in the end zone
— SI College Football (@si_ncaafb) September 3, 2016
#Sooners on the verge of losing back-to-back non-conference games for the first time since 1996.
— Justin Hite (@justinmhite) September 3, 2016
Now it's over in H-Town. It wouldn't be college football without an overrated Oklahoma.
