NORMAN — It's no secret for Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley that the Sooners are 13.5 point underdogs to LSU in the College Football Playoff semifinal Peach Bowl.
Riley talked about being an underdog against the Tigers in an interview with ESPN's Gene Wojciechowski. He was asked if he uses the underdog status as motivation for his team.
"Well we are going to go ahead and show up," Riley said with a smirk. "We'll go ahead and kick it off and see.
"Everybody is going to have their opinions on the outside. A lot of people said that we weren't going to play great defense here.
