The Oklahoma Sooners are looking onward and upward after suffering back-to-back losses on the road. Now, they return home to face the [autotag]West Virginia Mountaineers[/autotag] to hopefully get back on track.
Even with two losses, the Sooners still have an opportunity to salvage their season by winning double-digit games. If the Texas Longhorns slip up in one of their remaining three games, the Sooners could still find themselves in Arlington, Texas, most likely in a [autotag]Bedlam[/autotag] rematch.
One of the leaders for the Sooners this year has been [autotag]Ethan Downs[/autotag].
He told reporters they still have a lot to play for in 2023.
“All of our goals are still in front of us,” Downs said. “We don’t like that we have to hope for someone else to slip up for us to make it to the Big 12 (Championship). But we’re on the road right now. Even if it’s a narrow road, we’re still fighting together. We have goals that stretch far beyond a Big 12 Championship. We’re creating a legacy here. We’ve got a standard to uphold and if we get to the championship, that would be amazing. That’s one of our goals to achieve.”
The Sooners face a Mountaineers team whom they lost to a season ago on the road. They bring one of the best rushing attacks in the country and a really solid defense into Norman. It won’t be an easy task for the Sooners to right the ship, but it’s one we’ll see if the team is up for.
