Sooner coverage units thriving

The last time the Sooners played Cincinnati, Mardy Gilyard gashed them with a couple of long returns. It was a sign of trouble to come, as OU had one of the worst coverage units in college football in 2008.

This time around, the Bearcats will have trouble springing a long return.

Thanks to wedge buster Ronnell Lewis, the Sooners have one of the better coverage in the nation, ranking No. 2 in punt return defense and No. 17 in kickoff return defense.

“It has been an advantage for us through three games,” Stoops said. “Our coverage has been outstanding.”
