In other words, head coach Lincoln Riley is making a number of changes to the format and look of the game, which serves as the highlight of the spring practice season and gives fans a glimpse of what they can look forward to when the new season kicks off in the fall.
This is the fourth spring game that Riley has been a part of at Oklahoma, but it is the first one he will preside over as head coach. Even though Riley was the OU head coach in the 2017 season and led the Sooners to a 12-2 record and a place in the College Football Playoff, Bob Stoops was still in charge last spring before announcing his retirement a couple of months afterward.
