OU has been a fast-starting team all year.
After jumping out to a 21-7 lead last week in the win over Oklahoma State, the Sooners have outscored opponents 124-17 in the first quarter this season.
But during its current five-game winning streak, OU is also dominating the third quarter.
The Sooners haven’t allowed a point in the third quarter during the streak, outscoring opponents 41-0. OU has allowed just 148 yards of total offense — 3.2 per play — in the third quarter during that streak, including just 1.8 yards per rush.
“I actually think it’s just really good pregame and halftime speeches,” Sooners coach Lincoln Riley joked.
