Coach Talk

Sooners
Listen Sooners, we're "glass half full" kind of coaches. While others may harp on the fact that our scoring output has decreased a bit lately, we'll choose to spin this in a positive direction. Averaging 137.54 points through Week 6, our crew has shown it's more than capable of outperforming the 127.25 we needed for this past week's win!
What?!
This outcome was just too spooky for us, What?!! It turned out that Sooners played the role of Boogeyman while Ezekiel Elliott, Nick Chubb, Tyler Bass, and Russell Wilson decided that your team deserved all tricks and no treats!
