The week following an Oklahoma Sooners loss is always a long one around these parts. On Tuesday, Lincoln Riley voiced his belief that this team will be defined by how it responds going forward rather than how it performed over the weekend.
In the past, OU has been rather remarkable in how it has responded to a loss. Since Riley has been in Norman in any capacity (2015), the Sooners are a perfect 6-0 following a regular season loss. Losing doesn’t happen often at Oklahoma, especially over the past five years, but when it has happened, there’s a proven track record that suggests the program knows what it has to do in order to rebound.
