The Oklahoma Sooners head to Stillwater for one final time as they get set to take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
The vibes surrounding each team are strikingly different. Oklahoma is coming off of their first loss of the season, to Kansas, no less. That loss was preceded by a scare at home from UCF coming out of their bye week.
Meanwhile, Mike Gundy has his Cowboys on a four-game winning streak and isn’t lacking in things he needs to say to motivate his team for this particular game.
Oklahoma will lose this game if they play like they have the last two weeks. In a rivalry game, mistakes are magnified.
There is nothing more Oklahoma State fans want more than to beat Oklahoma as the Bedlam series comes to a close with the Sooners’ departure to the SEC.
The last two games have shown us Oklahoma is improved. However, they are still capable of losing games if they don’t bring their best.
What do the Sooners need to do to come away with a win. Here are five keys to this week’s matchup.
