Well, you can't say this wasn't an eventful or atypical season for University of Oklahoma football.
The Sugar Bowl bound Sooners (10-2) started 1-2 for the first time since 2005, but also ran the table in conference play for their first undefeated Big 12 season since 2004.
It was a year that saw two early losses, but also two Heisman finalists.
Those finalists, quarterback Baker Mayfield and receiver Dede Westbrook, are well-represented on this list. As is running back Joe Mixon, who has out-gained Samaje Perine on the ground, but Perine is still on the cusp of breaking Billy Sims' all-time rushing record anyway.
The abnormality of the 2016 season was only surpassed by its explosiveness.
Mayfield's 10 completions of 60 yards or more were the most in the FBS since 2010. Six of those went to Westbrook, tied for tops in the country and most in the Power 5 since 2010.
Mixon is top eight nationally in runs of 30-plus, 40-plus, and 50-plus yards. His six touchdowns of 40 or more yards from scrimmage is the second most in a season in school history, trailing only Westbrook's 12 such scores this year - most in the FBS since 1996.
Needless to say, there were plenty of options for this list and SoonerScoop.com videographer Eddie Radosevich was on-hand at every game to provide a unique and personal perspective unlike anywhere else.
Here are the top 10 moments from Oklahoma's 2016 season captured by ScoopHD.
10
Game: Oklahoma 45, Texas 40 - October 8, 2016
Situation: Tied 0-0, 1Q 10:54, UT ball on own 35, 3rd & 7
Play: Shane Buechele incomplete pass to John Burt, broken up by Jordan Thomas.
Reaction: Texas and Charlie Strong attempted to replicate a 2013 strategy that included a heavy dose of vertical passes that propelled Case McCoy and the Longhorns to an upset. In a game where Oklahoma could not stop D'Onta Foreman on the ground, Thomas' first half performance, one that Bob Stoops called one of the best he had seen during his tenure in Norman, was critical in the Sooners' narrow five-point victory - including this pass break-up on the Texas offense's third play from scrimmage. It also highlights the suspense and intensity down on the field at the Cotton Bowl for every single play from beginning to end.

Game: Oklahoma 45, Baylor 24 - November 12, 2016 (Norman, Okla.)
Situation: Tied 0-0, 1Q 12:30, OU ball on own 42, 2nd & 5
Play: Baker Mayfield pass complete to Jeffery Mead for 10 yards.
Reaction: Sooner fans are now well-acquainted with the stories of Mead's propensity for making spectacular, one-handed catches in high school and his time practicing in Norman. Their patience to see what the wise weapon from Union can do with his incredible wingspan paid off in the second half of the season when Mead made a flurry of big plays for Oklahoma. This play from the opening drive against Baylor is a great example of how the 6-foot-5 Mead can be open even when he's being double-covered.
8
Game: Oklahoma 24, Ohio State 45 - September 17, 2016 (Norman, Okla.)
Situation: 14-0 OSU, 1Q 4:20, OSU kickoff
Play: Joe Mixon 97-yard kickoff return for touchdown.
Reaction: Three things to note here:
- Watch 85,000-plus go from dejected to ecstatic in a matter of seconds.
- Mixon makes one cut to get from inside the numbers to the sideline.
- 96*-yard kickoff return.
7
Game: Oklahoma 56, Kansas 3 - October 29, 2016 (Norman, Okla.)
Situation: Tied 0-0, 1Q 9:56, KU ball on own 33, 4th & 1
Play: Cole Moos punts for 38 yards, Dede Westbrook returns 71 yards for a touchdown.
Reaction: Westbrook showcasing himself as a threat in the return game was a key factor in catapulting the dynamic weapon into Heisman consideration. This clip is also fun because it looks like the Kansas punter begins to run backwards Westbrook runs by him so quickly.
6
Game: Oklahoma 34, Iowa State 24 - November 3, 2016 (Ames, Ia.)
Situation: 7-3 OU, 1Q 1:22, OU ball on ISU 30, 2nd & 10
Play: Baker Mayfield 30-yard touchdown pass to Jeffery Mead.
Reaction: Mead makes his second appearance on this list, meaning a whopping 25-percent of his total catches this season are represented. Here, the tall junior receiver showed off more than just his frame, but was able to hit the 'B' button twice for a surprising display of athleticism after the catch.
5
Game: Oklahoma 38, Oklahoma State 20 - December 3, 2016 - (Norman, Okla.)
Situation: 7-3 OU, 2Q 15:00, OU ball on own 31, 1st & 10
Play: Baker Mayfield 69-yard touchdown pass to Dede Westbrook.
Reaction: Mayfield shows why he's dangerous outside the pocket and Westbrook flashes athleticism reminiscent to Reggie Bush at Fresno State in 2005. No one would blame Westbrook if he let out a "whooop!" while slamming on the brakes and letting cornerback Darius Curry fly by.
4
Game: Oklahoma 56, West Virginia 28 - November 19, 2016 (Morgantown, W.V.)
Situation: 34-7 OU, 3Q 13:09, WVU ball on OU 27, 4th & 3
Play: Skyler Howard pass intercepted by Jordan Evans and returned 80 yards for touchdown.
Reaction: This marked Evans' second pick-six in the month of November and cemented the Sooners' route over No. 10 West Virginia. It's also a great look at how the senior linebacker finished that run with a leg strain that nearly kept him out of Bedlam two weeks later.
3
Game: Oklahoma 56, West Virginia 28 - November 19, 2016 (Morgantown, W.V.)
Situation: 7-0 OU, 1Q 9:16, OU ball on own 25, 3rd & 8
Play: Baker Mayfield 75-yard touchdown pass to Dede Westbrook.
Reaction: Coming into this game, everyone knew Westbrook was fast. But with a primetime audience, the future Biletnikoff winner showed he had the toughness to absorb a hit from a linebacker in freezing temperatures and still outrun everybody on the field for a huge opening quarter touchdown. It may have been this play that put the final nail in the coffin in Westbrook's case as 2016's best receiver.
2
Game: Oklahoma 66, Texas Tech 59 - October 22, 2016 (Lubbock, Texas)
Situation: 37-31 OU, 3Q 7:59, OU ball on TTU 43, 3rd & 5
Play: Baker Mayfield 43-yard touchdown pass to Joe Mixon.
Reaction: The nonchalance with which Mixon catches this pass is what stands out, but watching his balance go undisturbed by a full-speed swipe to the legs might be even more impressive. Also, notice an equally casual Lincoln Riley stalking down the sidelines.
1
Game: Oklahoma 56, Kansas 3 - October 29, 2016
Situation: 7-3 OU, 2Q 10:22, OU ball on KU 41, 1st & 10
Play: Baker Mayfield 41-yard touchdown pass to Dede Westbrook.
Reaction: Mayfield rolling onto the OU midfield logo, throwing the ball into the nebulous blend of the Norman night sky and the lights of Owen Field, it landing perfectly into the outstretched arms of a diving Westbrook, and the final Michael Jordan shoulder shrug. Perfect image to encapsulate the Heisman finalist duo's magical season.
HONORABLE MENTION
Game: Oklahoma 66, Texas Tech 59 - October 22, 2016 (Lubbock, Texas)
Situation: 30-24 OU, 3Q 14:08, OU ball on own 32, 1st & 10
Play: Joe Mixon rushes 68 yards for touchdown. PENALTY: Holding, Dede Westbrook.
Reaction: Perhaps Mixon's best run of the season was all for naught, as a penalty thrown on Westbrook brought the play back, but the run itself is still a dazzling display of all of Mixon's physical tools.
HONORABLE MENTION
Game: Oklahoma 23, Houston 33 - September 3, 2016 (Houston, Texas)
Situation: 7-3 OU, 1Q 8:01, OU ball on own 25, 1st & 10
Play: Baker Mayfield 60-yard pass to Joe Mixon.
Reaction: It looked like the Mixon show early at NRG Stadium in Houston, as No. 25 had already accounted for a 32-yard touchdown run and then busted loose for this 60-yard reception.
