Lincoln Riley wants his defense to be more aggressive at stripping the ball against us. we will need to play our A+ game to have a chance of an upset Saturday night. any thoughts ?

Their defense is undisciplined and them focusing more on selfish (one player) plays instead of team defense, does not improve their defense.
Hurts and Lamb will put up points. IMO we will need to score at least 40 points for a chance to win. we have the ability to do this against their defense.We will need to win the turnover battle by 2-3 to have a legitimate chance.
If OU wins that battle we’ll lose by 20+.
OU Secondary struggles with taller/bigger receivers. if we can get our TE;s in a one on one with their CB'S and Safties, IMO we may be able to cause this defense lots of problems.Agreed. I guess I'd want to see exactly what Riley said, but putting the focus on stripping the ball means less focus on basics like just bringing the ball carrier down in the first place.
Focusing on stripping the ball can be good if done correctly. The first guy secures the tackle. The SECOND guy to the pile goes for the strip. If the first guy is going for the strip then you are asking for trouble.
Winning the turnover margin isn’t something we do well.
