SoonerScoop Sights & Sounds: OU 69, TCU 45

OU did what it could. But then it could manifest that appearance in the Big 12 championship. The Sooners took care of business 69-45 vs. TCU on Senior Day.

But Saturday didn’t turn go in Oklahoma’s favor. It’s Oklahoma State vs. Texas in the Big 12 championship game next weekend.

It is, though, the first 10-win season for head coach Brent Venables . And for a team that was teetering a bit at 7-2 and back-to-back losses, it was a strong finish. OU is No. 12 in the country at 10-2 overall and 7-2 in Big 12 play.

That’s something the players aren’t forgetting. Not at all.

“People doubted us. We lost two games in a row and people thought it was gonna be over,” wide receiver Jayden Gibson said. “We were gonna lose the rest of our games, you see all this stuff on social media, and we overcame all that, man, finished our season strong. Got to 10 wins, got to double-digit wins after we went 6-7 last year. Double-digit wins.

“I think that’s a testament to, if nothing else, our great coaching – Coach Venables and Coach Leb. I feel like everyone has nothing to be sad about... At the end of the day, we don’t got nothing to hang our heads about regardless, because we fought through a lot this year. We fought through a lot last year, man.

“There’s so many people that have individual stories, like myself. Everybody individually all overcame so much, and then as a group we overcame so much. So, I feel like no one has anything to hang their head about or be upset about. We went out like uncommon men in the regular season.”
