The Recap: My video rewind of the week covering college football in Oklahoma. From Oklahoma State’s disappointing trip to Austin to the Sooners preparing to open Big 12 play against Texas Tech to swimming in OU podcasts, it’s all right here.
Hear from Lincoln Riley, Mike Gundy and more as I roll into Norman for the first of three straight rooster kickoffs.
