“I’m certainly much more optimistic today than I was even two weeks ago about what this season looks like,” Harroz told the voice of the Sooners Toby Rowland.
“It looks like we’re going to have this season,” said Harroz. “Obviously it’ll be a bit different, we don’t know the exact contours of it but our plan is to have the season. It’ll obviously be modified.”
With nine weeks until the Sooners are scheduled to kickoff against Missouri State on September 5, making sure the right protocol is put in place to help keep student-athletes safe is paramount to anything else right now.
Harroz has not written off the possibility of having fans in the stands come football season as he has constantly been in talks with OU Health Sciences Center as well as experts from across the nation regarding how the football season can look the most normal it can be while in a pandemic.
