Everyone knows the expectations for the Oklahoma Sooners heading into the 2021 college football season. Their eyes are firmly locked on a return trip to the College Football Playoffs. To get there, they will have to do what they have the last six seasons, Sooners must win the Big 12 Conference.
They have seen some adversity under their head coach Lincoln Riley during his four-year run as the head coach. With a career record of 45-8, they win a lot more than they lose. Last year the team lost to Iowa State and Kansas State early on which led to many analysts questioning if this was the year a team finally knocks the Sooners off the pedestal. The answer was no as Spencer Rattler and company rattled off seven consecutive wins to secure the conference yet again. They got their revenge against Brock Purdy and the Cyclones when it mattered most.
