How’s this for a twist of fate? If it weren’t for the Oklahoma football defense, the Sooners could easily be 1-3 right now.
Who would have ever imagined three years ago that the Sooners’ defensive performance would be the difference maker in OU’s winning way as opposed to its talent-laden offense, which at the present time is badly leaking oil? Believe it or not, that’s where we’re at four games into the 2021 season.
In past seasons, the high-powered Oklahoma offense was seemingly able to score at will, and that covered up much of the Sooner defensive struggles in allowing opponents to stay in games.
