Dave: Despite back-to-back losses, Sooners are on the right track

by

The past two weeks we have been reminded that the Sooners are only in the second year of a large
cultural change in Oklahoma Football.

First Kansas and now little brother.

Although we all know that little brother had more than a little help to defeat the Sooners for just the 20th time out of almost 120 tries.

And that lopsided record in favor of the Sooners is why this series is not a rivalry and will not be missed.

Some of us knew better. Coming off the huge emotional win against texas. Having to go thru a bye week and the possible rustiness that comes with that.

The fact that UCF had the 4 th ranked offense in the country and had just gotten back their starting QB from injury. And of course a strong opposing head coach in Gus Malzahn. If ever there was a trap game…

But in the end, championship teams find a way to win under less than ideal circumstances and when they aren’t playing their best game.
