3 defensive keys for Sooners vs. Mountaineers

What are the three defensive keys the Sooners should focus on against the Mountaineers in week 4?

Understand WVU’s Personnel

Mountaineer’s head coach Neal Brown deploys a two-quarterback system. His pocket passer is Jarret Doege, who takes the bulk of the snaps and handles 95% of the passing responsibilities.

However, Brown has also deployed Garrett Greene under center. A redshirt freshman, Greene has already recorded 126 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the 2021 campaign. While he’s thrown the football just eight times, the Mountaineers could use him in passing situations in an attempt to catch OU’s secondary sleeping.

If he’s ever on the field at the same time as Doege, the double pass is absolutely in play. When he’s out there by himself, Oklahoma should anticipate option concepts.
