The problem with Oklahoma football in recent seasons has been it’s offense has dramatically outperformed its defense.

The Sooners were a strong offensive team before Lincoln Riley arrived with his Air Raid offense, but since that time they have become an offensive juggernaut.

Since Riley came onboard as a member of the OU coaching staff in 2015, the Sooners have ranked in the top seven nationally in total offense every season and in the top three in each of the last four.
