Lincoln Riley prepared to face brother on Kansas coaching staff

Lincoln Riley had a personal homecoming game when he returned to play his alma mater in Lubbock, Texas last week. While Oklahoma will play its homecoming game against Kansas this weekend, OU’s offensive coordinator will again have a personal connection to the opponent.

Riley’s younger brother Garrett is an offensive analyst for the Jayhawks.

“He’s kind of made his own way and done a good job of it,” Lincoln said.
