ARLINGTON, Texas — No. 6 Oklahoma has done all it can, winning a fifth Big 12 title in a row with another close win over No. 8 Baylor. Now the Sooners wait to see if they are going to get back in the College Football Playoff. That is up to the selection committee. “I hope they see the Big 12 champions. They’ve got a job to do, I get that,“ coach Lincoln Riley said after Oklahoma’s 30-23 overtime win Saturday. “We’ve had a job to do as a team, which was continuing to improve through the year, trust the things that we could and ultimately win the Big 12 championship,” he said. “We’ve done that.” Rhamondre Stevenson had a 5-yard touchdown run in overtime, and then freshman Jacob Zeno — whose two long passes in the fourth quarter helped tie the score — was under constant pressure when the Bears got their last chance.

Like father, like son: Cherry Creek’s Dade Bissell trying to add to family football legacy
Dade Bissell can’t get past the shoulder pads. “Look how wide they are! Those shoulder pads are huge!” Bissell said as he studied a faded photo of his father. “And he had that short-cut jersey to show off his midsection. Awesome.” The photo in question is from 1991. Dade’s dad, J.B. Bissell, is standing next to legendary Longmont High School coach Gordon Cramer. That was a golden era for the Trojans, who won three consecutive state titles from 1989-91 and put together a winning streak that eventually reached 45 games. J.B. wore No. 44, played middle linebacker and was Longmont’s team captain. Dade wears No 44, plays inside linebacker and is the senior team captain for the top-ranked Cherry Creek Bruins (12-0), who play Pomona (8-4) on Saturday in the Class 5A state semifinals.Like father, like son? “We are a lot alike in a lot of ways, but Dade is a better pure football player than I was, and I’ve been telling people that … [Read more...] about Like father, like son: Cherry Creek’s Dade Bissell trying to add to family football legacy
