Oklahoma faces Tulane at home this Saturday at 3:30 pm ET. These two teams have only ever played twice in history with Oklahoma winning both of those games.
Transfer Mario Williams spoke to the media this week about returning to Norman and what he sees from the OU defense.
Mario, you go back to Oklahoma for the first time since leaving there. How excited are you and what are you looking forward to the most about going back to Norman?
Mario: I’m definitely excited. I’m not worried about going back there. I think it’s pretty cool to play some of my former teammates so that’s what I’m most excited about. I’m ready for the challenge of going against some of my former teammates in a real game. I’m definitely not worried about their environment or trying to do more or do less. I’m just trying to be me, go out there and have fun.
You know how loud that place can get. Do you talk to your teammates about what to expect going into an environment like that?
Mario: Yeah, definitely. I talked to some of my teammates . I let them know that it may be 80,000 but at the end of the day, it’s still just a football game. So we still have to go out there and execute even if there was nobody in the stands or 100,000.
