Lincoln Riley: ‘The journey is just getting started’
Through six games, head coach Lincoln Riley has been steadfastly consistent in his assessment of his team’s 2019 performance.
ESPN college football studio analyst Jesse Palmer said this week he believed that OU’s win over Texas proved that the Sooner defense is legit. “All of a sudden Oklahoma is looking like a complete team,” he added.
During the same program segment, fellow ESPN college football analyst Joey Galloway offered, if OU keeps playing defense like it did against Texas, “that’s a Playoff team.”
By the way, both Palmer and Galloway had Oklahoma at No. 5 in their weekly ranking of the top College Football Playoff contenders through Week 7 of the 2019 season.
