Coach Talk

Soonerjack
Listen Soonerjack, we're glass-half-full kind of coaches. While some may harp on the fact that our scoring's slipped recently, we'll choose to take the high road. Averaging 142.95 points through Week 4, our crew has certainly proven that it's even stronger than the 123.45 we needed to win this past week!
DARC NARC
Your quarterback threw two interceptions and just one touchdown? It might be good to go back and review the game tape: Were the Patriots genuinely that good against the pass, or did Jared Goff seem rattled back there in the pocket? What do you think, DARC NARC, do we continue to start him with confidence?
