ON THE SPOT By Mike Baldwin
After rolling to a 47-17 win over Florida State, the Sooners reminded everyone they’re a legit top 10 team. Air Force, just outside the Top 25, might provide a good test for the Sooners a week before they hit the road for the first time.
Sooner fans
OU coach Bob Stoops has asked fans to sing “Home of the brave” at the end of the national anthem instead of “Home of the Sooners,” providing some intrigue before kickoff.
Air Force QB Tim Jefferson
If the Falcons can control the clock, they can minimize OU’s possessions. Jefferson is the trigger man whose quick decisions will determine whether Air Force can consistently move the chains.

Oklahoma’s Brent Venables PHOTO BY steve sisney, THE OKLAHOMAN archive
OU defensive coordinator Brent Venables
Venables’ tone of voice after Tuesday’s practice was a sign that it’s difficult to prep for the Falcons in one week. OU’s defense was dominant last week, but Venables said the Falcons are even different than other option attacks: “Air Force is a different animal.”
Air Force ILB Jordan Waiwaiole
Waiwaiole, one of four linebackers in a 3-4 scheme, and the Falcons have played well defensively. Now comes the real test. Can Air Force get pressure on QB Landry Jones and prevent RB DeMarco Murray and WR Ryan Broyles from having big games?
