This game is exactly why as a Sooner fan I wasn't to extremely angry at the fact Riley left. (I was angry but just at the way he left. (Took incredible players/recruits and it was clear he mailed in the 2021 season). Rileys team's are mentally weak and can not win big games. I hope USC is prepared for this because this is what you get.
Riley is an incredible offensive mind but his teams can never put it all together. They basically need to score 50 pts to win games. They jump out to leads and can't hold them. When they are faced with adversity they usually fold up shop.
As Sooner coach Riley was saved by incredible QB play. Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, Jalen Hurts, and Caleb Williams. As bad as OU was this year after their cupboard was raided they would have likely been a 10-2 team with a talent like Caleb Williams at QB.
None the less I am ecstatic the real Coach Riley showed up tonight.
