Against Oklahoma State, most of the credit on the defense was given to the Oklahoma's veterans, but its young players also had a big impact.
Redshirt freshman Nik Bonito and freshman David Ugwoegbu are both guys that have had flashes, coach Lincoln Riley said. He wanted to see them show more consistency, and he thought they stepped up against Oklahoma State.
Bonito and Ugwoegbu finished the game with five tackles each.
"They do a good job of challenging each other for reps, keeping each other fresh, kind of feeding off of each other," Riley said. "And they are two very talented guys that are going to get better and better quickly.
