Imagine you’re Oklahoma Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley and you’re putting together your game plan for this week’s matchup with the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Which area of OSU’s defense worries you most?
There are no holes here. The Cowboys boast a veteran-laden unit that ranks eighth in the country in ESPN’s SP+ metric for defensive efficiency. The Pokes are averaging almost four sacks per game thanks in large part to an active defensive front. They also have three productive senior linebackers in Amen Ogbongbemiga, Malcolm Rodriguez and Devin Harper stuffing the stat sheet.
