The Oklahoma Sooners are ready to get their offense back on track this weekend against the New Mexico Lobos.
The Oklahoma Sooners were embarrassed by Michigan last week. But they have a great opportunity ahead. They get to play the New Mexico Lobos in Week 3, with a chance to fix their offense. They’ll need to do it before facing the Georgia Bulldogs in Week 4.But that’s just the thing. The offense was terrible last week. It was good in Week 1. That was against the UTEP Miners, though. Last week, they were terrible and completely reverted to what they were last season. And it appears New Mexico knows that. It feels like their head coach, Jason Eck, slipped up a bit when asked about OU as a team. And, you honestly can’t blame him.
“Very talented team,” Eck started. “They are the most talented team we will see on our schedule. They have an exceptional defense. Exceptional special teams. And they are very good on offense as well.”The thing is, he seemed to hesitate on that last part. And, we all know why—the offense stinks. Regardless. This is a good opportunity for the Sooners to change that.
Oklahoma Sooners should win pretty handily on Saturday, or something is very wrong
This schedule won’t get any easier. After playing the Lobos, the Sooners start the toughest SEC schedule in the country. So, they have to use this opportunity wisely. They should win this game fairly easily. Then again, last week was so bad that you can’t rule anything out. But, at the same time, Eck knows exactly what this is. He knows exactly what Saturday is.“They’re gonna be a challenge… we’re definitely stepping up in class,” Eck told reporters. “It’s kinda like we’ve been going to, like, fast food restaurants to eat. Now, all of a sudden, we got an invite to the nicest steakhouse in town. And you’re checking your wallet to make sure you have enough to cover it cause you don’t want to be embarrassed. I think the big thing we got to be ready for, we got to be ready to respond to adversity…
