Passing Out Grades: Report Card for Oklahoma after win vs WCU

How did the Sooners grade out in their 76-0 win over Western Carolina? Check out this week’s positional report card.

After a week of re-evaluation and reflection, the Oklahoma Sooners came out and showed the world that they did not put their best foot forward in game one against Tulane. Tulane played hard for the entirety of the game. However, OU flexed at once and was up 37-14 and eventually took their foot off the gas and allowed the door to be left open for Tulane to come back.

Oklahoma let out some frustration and then some against the Catamounts en route to posting a 76-0 final score. They would narrowly escape, and head coach Lincoln Riley made it known things would be different during their game against Western Carolina. The man did not lie.

There were several aspects of the team that had decent but not spectacular moments in the previous game. After the game in our previous report card, we broke down the grades for those units.

Oklahoma Football Notebook: Calvin Thibodeaux, Josh Ellison, Justin Broiles and Jordan Kelley talk Monday

Oklahoma defensive line coach Calvin Thibodeaux, DL Josh Ellison, DB Justin Broiles and DL Jordan Kelley met with the media on Monday.

The final week of Oklahoma football spring practices has arrived with the Sooners getting their final rounds of practice in before Saturday’s spring game at Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium.

For many fans, the excitement to see Alex Grinch’s defense in its third iteration is as high it could possibly be. Specifically up front, Oklahoma looks to have an elite level of depth with numerous players who can make this happen and impact a game at any time.

On Monday, defensive line coach Calvin Thibodeaux discussed just that along with defensive lineman Josh Ellison, defensive back Justin Broiles and defensive lineman Jordan Kelley. Here are some of the highlights of what they had to say:

Oklahoma will be without starting CB Jaden Davis for Bedlam against Oklahoma State

Oklahoma starting CB Jaden Davis appears to be inactive for the Sooners’ matchup with Oklahoma State tonight.

Earlier today, Sooners Wire reported that Oklahoma TE Austin Stogner would be inactive tonight for Bedlam due to a lingering injury from the Kansas game two weeks ago.

Now, with the game just around 30 minutes away, players are taking the field for warmups – thus allowing us to see which players are not going to be active tonight.

It seems the Sooners’ secondary may be one unit hit particularly hard this week, as starting CB Jaden Davis along with backup safeties Bryson Washington and Justin Broiles look to be inactive. Broiles is at the stadium, but is on crutches.

Oklahoma has not confirmed or commented on the reasons for the absences or for Broiles’ injury.

When you are facing one of the best receivers in the country in Oklahoma State’s Tylan Wallace, you would really like to have all your guys in the secondary – not having Davis especially is a big blow.

The game is set for 6:30 p.m. CT in Norman and will be broadcast on ABC.

Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.

Here is the defensive No. 25 for Oklahoma.

There is a ton of momentum to having a 2020 college football season these days. No definite signs, yet, but the season would start less than 100 days from now.

Sooners Wire will be creating player cards for readers to be introduced to the 2020 roster.

Here is the defensive No. 25 for Oklahoma.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Name: Justin Broiles

Number: No. 25

Year: Redshirt Junior

Position: Safety

Hometown: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Height/Weight: 5-foot-10, 190 pounds

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

A 2017 four-star recruit from nearby John Marshall High School, Broiles was the No. 1 recruit in the state of Oklahoma, the No. 9 safety in the country, and the 107th best recruit in his class.

Taking a redshirt his freshman season, Broliles has since played in 25 games, Broiles has 50 total tackles (31 solos, 19 assists), 2.5 tackles for loss, and three pass breakups.

Logging two consistent seasons in a row, Broiles, as well as the rest of the Sooners’ defense looks to make a jump under year two of Alex Grinch’s system.

Oklahoma is set to begin the season at home against Missouri State on September 5.
