The Sooners have registered at least 500 yards of offense 48 times in the last 64 games, dating back to the start of the 2015 season. It’s not a coincidence that this is the time frame matches the length of time Lincoln Riley has been a member of the OU coaching staff.
Riley became the offensive coordinator on Bob Stoops’ Sooner staff in 2015. After two seasons in that role, Riley was named Oklahoma’s head coach following Stoops’ retirement. All he has done since assuming the head coaching reins is win 33 of 38 games, lead the Sooners to two consecutive College Football Playoff appearances, two top-five finishes and develop back-to-back Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks.
