Dave: Sooners will need more than lightening in a bottle to win last Bedlam matchup

by

Before the season started, I would have told you that a 9-3 outcome would be a great record in Brent’s
second year. Anything better than that would be amazing.

Now, I must admit I got caught up in the National Championship dreams just like a lot of Sooner fans.

After going 7-0, even with a close call against UCF, I still thought there was a good chance OU could go undefeated this year.

Now of course we don’t know what goes on in the texas locker room that may be different from the public face they are portraying.  

However, I can tell you that from the actual OU locker room video before that game, the Sooners seem to take a much different approach to this contest.
