Perhaps the most glaring statistic four games into the Oklahoma football season is the Sooners' takeaways number -- the number of intercepted passes or fumble recoveries -- which is a critical component of defensive efficiency and, ultimately, an elite defense.
Oklahoma ranks second in the SEC in both scoring defense and total defense, as well as No. 3 and No. 2 in the country, respectively, in both of those categories. Pretty impressive, right? Except for the fact the Sooner defense has yet to register a takeaway in any game this season, which is highly unusual with a defense as good as Oklahoma's has been through the first four games of the season.
