Lincoln Riley Isn't Scared of Any Big 12 Team and He Shouldn't Be
By Charles Nason
Ever wondered what Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley is afraid of? Well, we can't say for certain exactly what he does and does not fear. What we can say for sure is that he doesn't lose sleep over anyone within his team's conference.
In all honesty, there's good reason he has such confidence for his team in the Big 12. Aside from Texas, there isn't another team that can keep up or compete with the Sooners and Riley definitely knows that.
Lincoln Riley's full response to being asked which Big 12 team gives him the most sleepless nights:

"Every now and then you get asked these questions. In your mind, you go politically correct or tell the truth. So, the truth is none of 'em."
Riley's team is set to go into the 2019 college football season with a full head of steam. With recent transfer Jalen Hurts taking over for Kyler Murray, the Sooners are once again the favorites to win the Big 12 this year.
In the two years since Riley took over for the legendary Bob Stoops, the Sooners have won their conference both times. They've also taken the conference championship the past four seasons, so why would they stop now?
