TFB has been counting down the days to OU football with a spotlight on each member of the roster, spotlighting the player who corresponds with the days remaining. Today would have been 41 days until opening kickoff; now, it’s 34 days to go.
To avoid skipping players with numbers 41-35, TFB will be pushing out countdowns on double duty this week. For this week only, both numbers currently corresponding with the countdown (34-28) and those previously corresponding with the countdown (41-36) will be receiving a spotlight. The result will be that the countdown will be fully “caught up” next Sunday, August 1st.

Highlights
2020 Season
There is a lot of returning experience at the linebacker position, with guys like Caleb Kelly, Bryan Mead, DaShaun White, and Brian Asamoah all back for 2020. However, OU loves their walk-ons; hopefully, McCoy can find playing time with the Sooners.
