U40: How will the Sooners approach the season opener? Will they hold back?

Author: SoonerScoop.com August 23, 2024 Duration: 1:08:08
This week's episode of the Unofficial 40 is presented by the Oklahoma Zooligical Society's 16th annual ZOObrew presented by Byron's Liquor Warehouse. Event to take place at the OKC Zoo September 27th! We're inching closer and closer to the season as the Sooners get ready for their season opener. After a full preseason camp we've gleaned a lot of information from interviews and sources. But there are a lot of things we still wonder about. And not just about how players will perform. How will Seth Littrell's offense look to start the season. Will they be holding things back for SEC play? Or will they just let Jackson Arnold let it fly so he can gain confidence early? We talk a lot about Woodi Washington and his role in the secondary. Carey says his production is overlooked as people try and push him out at cornerback. What freshman have gotten a lot of love but might end up being shelved at deep positions? What will tailgating look like this year? We're talking about a lot of small stuff because we've broken down the roster so many times we have to talk about something. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the U40!
