Oklahoma football notebook: Alex Grinch, defensive players talk Wednesday

Ahead of Bedlam, Alex Grinch, Nik Bonitto, Ronnie Perkins, and Tre Norwood met with the media on Wednesday to discuss the latest.

No. 17/18 Oklahoma (5-2, 4-2) is set to retake the field at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Saturday night when they host in-state foe No. 14 Oklahoma State (5-1, 4-1).

The Sooners are playing their best at the right time down the stretch in November, as has been the norm since Lincoln Riley came to Oklahoma. They’ve won four straight games and are playing better in nearly every facet of the game than they were early in the year.

Defensively, the Sooners have seen an uptick in just about every positive statistic since the return of Ronnie Perkins. His impact getting pressure on the quarterback to help force turnovers has been undeniable, and the team has spoke glowingly of how great it is to have him back on the field.

On Wednesday, defensive Coordinator Alex Grinch along with Perkins, Nik Bonitto and Tre Norwood met with the media to discuss the latest with the team with Bedlam just a few days away. Here is what they had to say.
