At Saturday’s Spring Game, Will Oklahoma Be a More Physical Football Team?
Coming off so many painful close losses last season, the Sooners have doubled their efforts to be more physical on offense and defense and not let games slip away late.
It was early November, and Oklahoma had just lost another one-possession game, this time at home to Baylor.
New coach Brent Venables, at times looking and sounding utterly despondent, couldn’t offer up any tactile answers for what had just happened.
“Their team was more physical,” Venables offered. “Why is that? I don’t know.”
Fast forward five months, and the Sooners this week will unveil a preview of the work that Venables and his team have been doing to fix that dark autumn day.
