As star studded and prolific on offense as the Big 12 champions were last fall, they may be even stronger by subtraction next season than they were in 2016.
Despite finishing the 2016 season with 10 consecutive wins, highlighted by a dominating 35-19 Sugar Bowl win over the Southeastern Conference’s second-best team in the Auburn Tigers, the Oklahoma coaches and players are well aware you cannot rest on your laurels. You have to build on that foundation and keep getting better if you want to sustain that success.
That is the attitude and mindset of the OU football team as it began spring practice sessions this week, essentially beginning preparations and plans for Bob Stoops’ 19th season as head coach at Oklahoma.
