Sooner Coach Impressed With Opponent in Big 12 Opener

Both teams average over 41 points per game, so it should become a high scoring contest at a few point. “I’m not at all upset about it. I feel we’re going to keep going in a positive direction”.

When asked if WVU was anxious about what happened past year, senior safety Karl Joseph is quick to bring everyone back to the present. The Sooners have forced just two turnovers all year. The 14th-ranked Sooners come off a bye week. He ranks second in the country in points per game (28.0) and is third in total offense with more than 400 stripes per matchup. Let’s take a look at the two teams and then preview our West Virginia vs Oklahoma spread pick for Saturday. San Richardson ran for a four-yard score and found Allen Lazard for a nine-yard touchdown pass on the way to a 17-0 Cyclone lead at the half, but Warren put it away in the third on a 62-yard scoring dash. We know we’re going to see this from Baylor and TCU and even West Virginia a little bit. He is a formidable back with 331 yards and 4 touchdowns in the 3 games. Mayfield is the team’s second leading rusher with 139 yards on 33 carries. Our offense thrives on momentum so keeping it off the field mitigates that risk. They host No. 20 Oklahoma State before finishing out the month with road trips to No. 5 Baylor and No. 4 TCU.

The Sooners travel to Dallas-Fort Worth to play their hated rival Texas. Oklahoma went 11-2 that year but wasn’t good enough to contend for a Big 12 title.

OU quarterback Baker Mayfield set a school record with 572 total yards (487 passing, 85 rushing) against Tulsa. Currently, Mayfield is completing 67 percent of his passes, while throwing for 10 touchdowns and two interceptions.

The reasons all seemed well and good.

The 3-3-5 as West Virginia’s unmistakable plan was conceived in 2002, after Rich Rodriguez’s first group went 3-8, and partially to expand the sort of ability the Mountaineers could draw in. The Mountaineers average 73 penalty yards per game and opponents average 47.

Center Ty Darlington and guard Nila Kasitati, OU’s two best offensive linemen, who missed the Tulsa game, return and should contribute to that success.

If he maintains this pace, Striker may be a first-team All America linebacker at season’s end. On defense, WVU is allowing 307 total yards including 154 passing and 153 rushing yards. Stoops said those games can sometimes be hard to win. The biggest thing I point to is that we absolutely rocked a solid Georgia Southern team that is killing everyone since and always gives anyone in front of them a hard time.

“Play like you played before”. “You don’t come into someone’s house and disrespect us the way that they did”. Both of these Top 25 teams are undefeated and each will head in opposite directions after the final whistle. His backup P.J. Mbanasor was often burned by TU.

West Virginia has yet to face Mayfield, who sat out Texas Tech’s win in Morgantown in 2013 with a twisted knee. I think we’re right there. However, the Sooners only give up 147 yards on the ground. After a pair of first downs, the Mountaineers would put the ball back to the Sooners but were able to flip field position putting Oklahoma back to their own 17-yard line.
