Stoops: “It was a huge step in our program.”

Like last week, it wasn’t the most beautiful win. Regardless, a win is a win,“Ya did what ya had to do,” Stoops said. “We’ve got to be built to win close games.”

Stoops was proud of the way his team bounced back after handling adversity. The first drive began with a critical interception, yet they played inspired in a hostile environment, responding with a touchdown. They once again hit a 3rd quarter slump on offense. His defense gave up some yards, but not touchdowns, only allowing one touchdown in five red zone appearances. “Nothings going to be easy for us, and that’s the way you like it,” Stoops said.
