Sooner Nation Sound-Off: Oklahoma Sooners overcome adversity against West Virginia
The Oklahoma Sooners, to many, showed why they have a case for not only the best in the Big 12, but maybe even the #1 team in the country. Receiving four first-place votes in the latest AP Poll and 12 first-place votes in the Coaches Poll reflects that.
I took to Twitter to ask Sooners fans what they thought was the most impressive thing they saw in Oklahoma’s win last weekend against West Virginia. Here were the best responses I received:
AJ sums it up.
David gives credit to an unsung hero.

Here are Logan’s thoughts:
@DiegoG20 @OUnation @StorminInNorman @LandThieves our dominance in all three phases and the ability to step up when some parts are down.

Bubba liked something other than catching from the receivers.
@DiegoG20 @OUnation @StorminInNorman @LandThieves our run blocking from line to wide outs was nice to see

David sees improvement from this year’s group in a certain aspect.
@DiegoG20 @StorminInNorman the way they were able to regroup at half time and fix their flaws. Shown inability to do in previous seasons.

Trevor Knight’s stats weren’t amazing, but his leadership was big, says Josh.

With the run game strong and a huge kickoff return, Ryan makes a great point.

And the last one. Hey, looks like we have an official nickname!
@DiegoG20 @OUnation @StorminInNorman @LandThieves - The second half adjustments on both sides of the ball! And of course Optimus P-rine!

With Oklahoma visiting TCU next weekend, my next question will be: What’s the biggest thing Oklahoma has to do next Saturday to get the win in Fort Worth?
Follow me on Twitter @DiegoG20 and keep an eye out for that question next Wednesday for your chance to be featured in next week’s article. If you didn’t get featured in this one, let us know your thoughts below: what impressed you the most about OU last weekend?
