Stoops says improvement needed

(Norman, Oklahoma-AP) -- Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops hasn't been pleased with the past two games.

The top-ranked Sooners struggled before rallying to beat Texas A-and-M two weeks ago.

Then Saturday, they committed eleven penalties, had four turnovers and got two kicks blocked in a 27-to-13 victory over Texas Tech.

Stoops says Oklahoma hasn't played anywhere close to its potential in those games.

He says that's got to change as the Sooners close out the regular season this week and then begin preparing for the Big 12 title game in Kansas City.

O-U plays Oklahoma State on Saturday in Stillwater.
