Today’s question concerning Oklahoma football is pretty simple. Basically, how much difference can two weeks make? Maybe it’s a question that begs another question, like how much does it need to make?

Here’s one side:

Not much, the Sooners are close.

Maybe, but let’s face it. Through three games, they’ve looked a million miles away.

Are the seven fumbles (the official stats counted six, yet were wrong) and three turnovers in Pasadena just a small adjustment waiting to be made? So many of them have come from the same source, fixing the problem might be a snap.

Perhaps, but there’s more.

There’s the penalties, which have come at the most inopportune times.

There’s line play, which may have afforded Rhett Bomar the chance to start justifying some of the hype, yet still hasn’t sprung Adrian Peterson but for a half. That and co-offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson isn’t still tinkering with his combinations because it’s fun.

There’s defense, which had really been pretty good until UCLA went up and down the field in the fourth quarter. But good or not, Bobby Jack Wright’s still messing with his cornerbacks, defensive end won’t be a picnic for a very long time and Dusty Dvoracek’s just one guy.

And yet …

“If you’re playing smarter, if you take care of the ball,” Sooner coach Bob Stoops said, “ if you’re not having mental errors and you’re performing better …”

Maybe it can all happen so fast.

Eliminate turnovers. Eliminate penalties. Eliminate mental busts.

Nothing’s incorrectable. It’s the same stuff coaches have been harping on for generations. Maybe everything can change just like that.

“I feel like we can turn the switch on now,” freshman receiver Juaquin Iglesias said Tuesday, “because it’s just the little things that we haven’t done. If we correct those, then that switch can be turned on at any moment.”
