OCT 18, 2017 - Oklahoma has been building more and more depth on the defensive line in recent weeks, with the emergence of Kenneth Mann and the addition of Du'Vonta Lampkin and Amani Bledsoe to the rotation, giving the Sooners more defensive options.
“We weren't winded and we were able to get those next guys to step in and do well with those reps,” Mann said. “That definitely helped — and all of us playing good and stepping up — because we need it.”
While Mann is just 13th on the team in tackles with 15, he's second with three sacks and is becoming an emerging playmaker with D.J. Ward at defensive end.
“You almost take D.J. for granted with everything he does well,” defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said.
