Coach Talk

Fatback and Greens
It just cannot be overstated how important tight wins like this can be for locker room chemistry. Persevering through trials and tribulations, while triumphing in the face of adversity... expect Fatback and Greens to carry some positive momentum into Week 2.
Sooners
Sooners will find it tough to complain about lack of opportunities this past week. Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 1. Those players might need to hit the practice field, considering they recorded only 19 catches.
