Simply describing Oklahoma Sooners’ performance as “not good enough to win” is an uninspired way to look at the football team as a whole. In any game, a player, a coach, or a position group can perform well and not necessarily be the driving factor behind the team’s loss or win.
The loss hurts, but it doesn’t derail Oklahoma’s season with games against multiple top 25 teams remaining on their schedule. Win out, and they could rebuild their resume for a possible College Football Playoff trip, assuming they win the Big 12 as well.
There is still so much football to play, and the only way to keep your goals attainable is to play well. While the Sooners didn’t grade out well in our weekly report card, it’s still early in the season. There’s a lot of football left to play.
Each week we take a look at which way players or positon groups are trending after that performance in “Stock Up, Stock Down.”
