A lot of people are dismissing OU football, which makes the next month maybe even bigger than first anticipated.<\/p>\n
Because it\u2019s now a college football playoff berth on the line. It\u2019s fighting for the chance to become bowl eligible once again for Brent Venables<\/a>.<\/p>\n OU needs two wins in the final month of the season. And here come the November captains. Offensive tackle Michael Tarquin<\/a><\/strong>, defensive tackle Da\u2019Jon Terry<\/a><\/strong>, wide receiver Brenen Thompson<\/a><\/strong>, tight end Jake Roberts<\/a><\/strong>, linebacker Kip Lewis<\/a><\/strong> and Cheetah linebacker Dasan McCullough<\/a><\/strong> get the honors Saturday.<\/p>\n OU gets that rare non-conference November game with Maine coming to town. At 4-4 overall and losers of their last three, Sooners need to find their footing.<\/p>\n These captains? Well, they\u2019ve been some of the most vocal in saying they\u2019re going to keep it together.<\/p>\n \u201cDefinitely,\u201d said McCullough after Saturday\u2019s loss about being in the lineup again. \u201cI\u2019m just glad I\u2019m back. I\u2019m glad I\u2019m back playing, to be honest with you. So it\u2019s only gonna be up from here.<\/p>\n \u201cI was super excited to be able to start for the guys today, play hard, and that was really my main thing, is I\u2019m gonna come out here and I\u2019m gonna play hard every single snap and I\u2019m gonna show that, I\u2019m gonna put that on film, so heading back into next week, I\u2019m ready to get back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n Nobody saw OU scratching and clawing for a bowl spot in November. But that\u2019s where we are. The expectations are different, but the determination has to be the same.<\/p>\n \u201cNot at all,\u201d said McCullough about the team packing it in. \u201cNot at all. This team, we\u2019re just wild dogs ready to go bite at this point. We\u2019re just ready to play, ready to against whoever, whenever. So we\u2019re gonna stay strong and stay together. It\u2019s a brotherhood here, so we\u2019re gonna stay strong until the end.\u201d<\/p>\n The post OU captains named vs. Maine: Terry, Thompson, Roberts, Lewis, Tarquin, McCullough<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A lot of people are dismissing OU football, which makes the next month maybe even…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-73888","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73888","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73888"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73888\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73888"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73888"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73888"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
