Episode Synopsis

The Oklahoma Sooners football team, under Coach Brent Venables, has seen a remarkable turnaround in forcing turnovers after a slow start. Despite no takeaways in the first few games, Venables preached patience, and the teams defensive principles paid off. Now, with three takeaways in each of their last two games, they surpass four SEC teams in total turnovers forced, including ranked opponents. This turnaround has directly contributed to their wins, with momentum-changing plays like fumble and interception returns. The teams dedication to daily turnover drills and studying NFL clips seems to be paying off, as they head into their upcoming game against Missouri, who has turned the ball over in each of their last nine games.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
