At the bottom of the tip sheet given to all of Oklahoma's defensive backs this week is a simple formula — ”88=734.”
“We all know what that means,” senior cornerback Jordan Thomas said this week as the Sooners prepare to face Texas Tech. “It's a constant reminder that, ‘Hey, this is what happened last year; we need to make sure that doesn't happen again this year.'”
A year ago in OU's wild 66-59 win in Lubbock, the Red Raiders attempted 88 passes and Patrick Mahomes threw for 734 yards and five touchdowns.
“We got a lot to prove,” Thomas said.
