AP: Fresh start for Oklahoma in Big 12 opener at No. 21 TCU

FORT WORTH, Texas – While Oklahoma gets a fresh start in pursuit of its 10th Big 12 title, coach Bob Stoops doesn’t expect the Sooners to have to change their focus after two September losses pretty much ended their playoff hopes.

“We haven’t performed as well as we need to,” Stoops said. “But to say, all of a sudden, ‘Oh, now we’re going to get focused and try harder,’ I don’t believe that. Our guys have been working hard. We need to execute better, I get that, but guys have been putting in the effort ahead of this.”
