Does Oklahoma view Saturday’s game with Ohio State any differently than it did in the preseason after stumbling against Houston to open the 2016 season?
The loss to Houston obviously ratchets up what’s at stake for the Sooners in the game with OSU, but to be perfectly honest, the date of the Ohio State game has been circled on the calendar since the date the two-game agreement was inked several years ago. Everyone is aware of the sense of urgency the Sooners must have entering this game and Week 3, given the current circumstances, and nothing has really changed regarding what a win over the Buckeyes would mean for Oklahoma as well as the Big 12.
