From hose to hydrant: Gushing Sooners offense presents major test

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The role of Big 12 defensive coordinator is no easy task. Half of the league’s offenses are scoring more than 32 points per game, and six are netting more than 400 yards a game.

“It’s like drinking water from a fire hose,” said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “It’s non-stop. You can’t catch your breath.”

Friday night, he gets the whole hydrant.

Oklahoma comes to Milan Puskar Stadium with the country’s most prolific offense, averaging 49.5 points and 567 yards per game. On a micro level, the Sooners pick up 8.
