Does OU football need to get more physical?

NORMAN — The Oklahoma football spring game arrives Saturday, and when last we saw the Sooners, they weren't all that impressive.

Scrappy. Industrious, perhaps. But not particularly impressive. The Sooners led the Orange Bowl at halftime, though it was hard to figure how after Clemson went on to win 37-17.

The Tigers controlled both lines of scrimmage, which Bob Stoops can't deny, and raised concerns about OU's physicality, to which Stoops most certainly can and does object. You want to make Stoops mad and quick? Suggest his team isn't physical.

“We're not physical enough? That's bull…” Stoops said when we talked not long after the Orange Bowl.
