We’re confident the coaching staff has expressed many times this week.
Oklahoma cannot get caught looking ahead to what takes place in Dallas next weekend. For an Oklahoma offense that needs to put a more well-rounded performance on tape after leaving meat on the bone in Cincinnati, all attention should be on attacking John Heacock’s defense.
Start fast and finish.
A couple of scoring drives on Oklahoma’s first two or three possessions would be monumental in setting the tone. This feels like a game where if Oklahoma lets the Cyclones hang around into the fourth quarter, things might get weird.
The way to combat that? Take the air out of their sails early.
