FRISCO, TEXAS — The comment came near the end of a long, coherent answer of a question from the radio host about Big 12 defenses being overlooked and undervalued.
“But you go through Georgia's defense, which was a top-five ranked defense going into the Rose Bowl,” Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said. “You go throw them in the Big 12 every year, they're not going to be a top-five defense. It's just probably not going to happen.”
Was another Sooners coach going to start throwing barbs the way of the SEC?
Don't count on it, Riley said Monday as Oklahoma was in the spotlight at Big 12 Media Days at The Star.
