OU Football Spring Game Recap: Sooners Run Game Looks Much Better + Secondary & Okoye Look GREAT

Gabe Ikard and Teddy Lehman recap what they saw in OU football's spring game on April 18, 2026. The Sooners starting offense was impressive and showed off some of their new look running game. Lloyd Avant, DeZephen Walker and Jonathan Hatton all had nice days carrying the ball and John Mateer managed the game well as a passer. The Sooners starting defense was disruptive. Danny Okoye stood out along the line of scrimmage and the Sooners starting secondary put together a really solid performance. Most importantly, there were no injuries suffered in Oklahoma football's spring game. Ikard and Lehman also give their "Winners and Losers of the Weekend": OU women's gymnastics won their 8th national championship, OU softball dropped a game to Arkansas, the NHL Playoffs started in the best way possible with Ottawa Senators captain Brady Tkachuk and Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal fighting right after the opening puck drop & the Houston Rockets lost to LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers 107-98 with Kevin Durant missing the game with a knee injury.
