NORMAN — While OU’s defense closed last week’s win over Texas strong, Sooners defensive coordinator Alex Grinch said his group has to find a way to play better in the fourth quarter.
OU has been outscored 45-17 in the fourth quarter this season, including 31-0 in the final eight minutes of regulation.
“What’s the facts? The facts are that maybe we’re doing too much looking at the scoreboard,” Grinch said. “But there are stretches of time — long stretches of time — where we’re almost guilty of being a pretty good defense. Like, screw around and do it much longer, they’re actually going to call us good.
