Memorable moments with Gundy

It was a dominant performance by the 13th ranked Oklahoma Sooners as they defeated the Temple Owls, 42-3, Saturday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. “This is a very hungry, driven, humble, tough, high-standard group of young men that like to be pushed, liked to be challenged, they like to practice,” said OU head coach…
