POOR WEEKEND FOR BOYS OF STOOPS

It is the scorecard of one of the most accomplished coaching families in the United States. Mike Stoops, Oklahoma's defensive coordinator until Sunday, oversaw another porous performance of his unit on Saturday as part of an upset loss to Texas. The Longhorns scored 48 goals on the Sooners, the most points they've ever accumulated on their hated rival north. Texas did not beat the ball until the fourth quarter. After amassing 45 points tied with Oklahoma, the defense gave 45 points to the defense. Stoops' defense conceded 52 yards to score the winning goal by famed Cameron Dicker kicker, who earned a helmet sticker.
That was enough for Stoops to be sacked on Sunday. It is never said that Oklahoma is not extremely serious about its football: Lincoln Riley is now 17 years old as a head coach, and he canning a coordinator. Riley probably had to phone clumsily to his former boss, Bob Stoops – who had introduced him to the job of head coach on a silver platter – to announce the dismissal of his brother.
The fact is, Riley probably should have left Mike Stoops after last season. It would have been hard to come out of a qualification for university football matches and its close family ties, but less messy than this October shot. When Riley brought in his former mentor, Ruffin McNeill, as a defense assistant, in the summer of 2017, many thought that change was inevitable. Now it's done.
Saturday's loss had less impact for Mark Stoops in Kentucky. His Wildcats, a surprise 5-0 early in the season, nearly won a sixth consecutive victory Saturday night in Texas A & M Kentucky was overtaken by more than 200 yards and never had a slam shuttlecock in the territory of A & M in regulation, but still put the game in overtime.
It was here that Stoops and offensive coordinator Eddie Gran interfered in the event, giving no touch to half-star Benny Snell Jr. – not even third and two short of the 17-yard line. After initially lining up Snell at the quarterback in a wildcat formation, Kentucky called timeout and replaced the game with a withdrawal from limited passer Terry Wilson. He was sacked, a shot on goal was missed, A & M scored, and that's all. We will now see if the Wildcats can take things in hand and stay in the SEC East race.
