Coach Talk

Soonerjack
You know Soonerjack, the good news is that we took this matchup by almost 15 points. The better news is that we've proven we're even better than this, as our scoring average through 13 weeks was 137.12. So yes, we're happy to have gotten this victory, but let's also get back up to where we know we can be!
Roughnecks
Roughnecks may find it tough to gripe about lack of opportunity this past week. As a group, our five pass-catchers (four WR and one TE) collectively saw a grand total of 31 targets in Week 14. Those players should spend extra practice time working with their QBs, considering they hauled in only 18 balls.
