FROM CRIMSON AND CREAM MACHINE
While Oklahoma may not always have the very best recruiting classes, those classes are reliably filled with talent and are highly ranked nationally, so to blame the performance solely on the players themselves would be unfair. Yes, the players do make mistakes or get beat on plays at times, but a lot of the problems the Sooners face appear to be coaching issues. Just ask some former players after Baylor came to Norman in 2014 and took advantage of seven-yard cushions to put up a whopping 48 points on a Sooners defense that never had a chance. Coincidentally, the season that saw players openly arguing with Mike Stoops on the sideline would be Stoops' last season on the sidelines, since he's now been moved to the press box.
