Coming off an ugly 68-27 home loss to Utah, Iowa State looks like an easy win for the Sooners when the Cyclones visit Norman on Saturday.
How does Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops guard against overconfidence?
“The previous week they beat (Texas) Tech quite handily or scored 50-some points,” Stoops said Monday on the Big 12 teleconference. “In the end our job is to be as solid and good as we can be and continue to make progress through the year, refining our technique and our discipline in our schemes. That’s what we’re focused on.”
Two weeks ago Iowa State won a 52-38 shootout with Texas Tech. But last week the Cyclones surrendered 593 yards. Utah also scored on a 100-yard kickoff return and 78-yard punt return.
