OU football: For Lincoln Riley's Sooners, face masks are essential part of uniform

NORMAN — It doesn’t take an entire practice, especially in the August heat, for Charleston Rambo’s mask to be dripping wet.

“You’ve got to wring out the sweat, put it back on,” the OU wide receiver said. “But we’ve been wearing it so long, we kinda got used to it.”

Unlike many other programs around the country, the Sooners extend their mask-wearing far beyond the locker rooms and team meetings.

Face masks have become another essential part of OU’s uniform.

And if a player drops his down for more than to grab a quick drink of water, he’s going to hear about it.
