Coach Talk

Sooners
Hey, we'll definitely take the win, Sooners! Having said that, if we want to ramp our performance up to the next level, then here's one area where we can improve; our starting running backs were soundly overmatched this past week. Kenyan Drake (41 yards from scrimmage, no TDs) and Darrell Henderson Jr. (77 yards, no TDs) combined for only 13.5 points in Week 7. Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Alvin Kamara doubled us up with a score of 30.5. Let's bug the offensive coordinator to get some more touches in Week 8!
What?!
This matchup was just too spooky for us, What?!! It turned out that the Baltimore Ravens defense felt like ghosting on your team, while Sooners played the role of Boogeyman. All tricks and no treats!
