Set the tone early
Aside from Week 1 against UTEP, Oklahoma hasn’t had many fast starts this season. Every other game has seen it give up the opening touchdown on defense or not score on its opening drive on offense.
Against Nebraska, the Sooners took a body blow with the early touchdown and then found another gear. They ran off 49 unanswered points in a dominating win.
Last week, Kansas State smacked Oklahoma in the mouth early and went up 14-0 quickly. Can Oklahoma get out to an early lead or at the very least just stymie TCU early?
Either would go a long way in flushing any lingering doubts after its previous performance.
