🔼 Small but Mighty. Football head coach Mark Stoops is keen on taking care of the small things and making the simple things look simple in the season opener on Saturday against Ole Miss.
“I’ve mentioned it before, I’ve talked about it leading into (the season opener), guys want to do too much too early,” Stoops said on Monday at his weekly press conference. “They immediately want the score to be whatever, they immediately want their production, they immediately want it all to happen right now.”
