BOULDER, Colorado (Ticker) -- Sam Bradford and Oklahoma now get a chance to see if they can keep up their stellar play in Big 12 Conference action.

Bradford and the third-ranked Sooners open Big 12 play at Colorado on Saturday.

A redshirt freshman, Bradford ranks second nationally in passing efficiency (215.4), having passed for 1,067 yards, 14 touchdowns and just two interceptions.

Last Friday, Bradford completed 16-of-22 attempts for 244 yards, three TDs and one interception in the Sooners' 62-21 road romp of intrastate foe Tulsa.

DeMarco Murray had three TDs and Allen Patrick rushed for 145 yards and two scores for the Sooners (4-0, 0-0 Big 12 South), who lead the country in scoring at 61.5 points per game.

Colorado (2-2, 0-0 North), which was coming off back-to-back losses to Arizona State and Florida State, manhandled Miami of Ohio here last Saturday, 42-0.

Hugh Charles rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown for the Buffaloes, who collected 359 yards and four TDs on a whopping 63 carries.

Oklahoma posted a 24-3 home win over Colorado last year as Patrick - filling in for the injured Adrian Peterson - rushed for 110 yards and a score.
