Let’s face the reality: We need better players and coaching for OU to come back

by

The Sooners are who they are. About a top 15 to 20 team who will compete in a weak Big 12 and might even win it with some luck.

That’s the ceiling right now. They don’t belong on the same field with the Ohio States and Alabamas of the world. That much was evident when a very young and inexperienced Buckeye team took OU to the woodshed a few Saturdays ago.

Oh some people will tell you that the Sooners just made too many mistakes and they aren’t that far off blah, blah, blah. Nope. Not gonna fall for it. Ohio St. dominated and it wasn’t close. They had by far the better team that night.

Remember when OU was unbeatable on Owen Field? Those were the days. They are who they are for now. And it’s about players and coaching. We need better players and arguably better coaching.

The better players are on the way if the 2017 recruiting class stays intact. But it will need to be followed up with great classes in 2018 and 2019 to get back to the early 2000s dominance all Sooner fans hope for.

While the Sooners open the season on the road against a highly-ranked Houston Cougars, TCU starts the 2016 campaign at home against South Dakota State (an FCS school).
