| Prolific offense is the reputation by which No. 8 Oklahoma lives, but Bob Stoops doesnt mind hearing about how far his defense has come in a few short weeks as the Sooners pack their bags for a Big 12 showdown at 10th-ranked West Virginia on Saturday night.In a 66-59 win at Texas Tech on Oct. 22, the Sooners gave up 854 yards of total offense.Since, Oklahoma has given up an average of 321.4 yards per game in three wins.We havent changed defenses, Stoops said. Guys are playing better.That improvement needs to keep up for the Sooners to have success this week when they travel to West Virginia in a game that will go a long way toward determining the Big 12 champion.The most glaring improvement has been in the secondary, where cornerbacks Jordan Thomas and Jordan Parker have settled in after a rough first part of the season.Thomas, who was strong a year ago as a sophomore, struggled to maintain his success early, being repeatedly beaten deep by opposing receivers.Parker, a freshman, has been the latest to step into the other cornerback role after three other players started there early in the season.Stoops said the improvement goes deeper.It isnt just the secondary, Stoops said. Its the linebackers, everybody. Its been -- it was really solid the other day. I say the linebackers are a big part of it.Stoops specifically mentioned Oklahomas two inside linebackers -- Jordan Evans and Emmanuel Beal -- for their improvement.Evans had two interceptions and two sacks last week.It has been a complete U-turn from that game, Evans said, pointing back to that game against Tech. Our intensity, our effort. Guys are making more plays. The No. 1 thing is guys are having more fun doing it. Guys are wanting to get back out there each and every Saturday and wanting to get to practice on Monday to get better and to keep it going.Evans said while the Tech game wasnt necessarily a must for improvement, its helped focus the defense in the weeks since.It should never have to happen, Evans said. We should have been doing that since Day One. The only reason I think it was good is we were still able to come out with a win in that game. Weve kind of flipped out defense around. It was a good wakeup call for us.One way the Sooners can effectively quiet West Virginias offense is to eat the clock with a deadly running game.Samaje Perine ran for 242 yards and four touchdowns in Oklahomas last game in Morgantown, his first career game with 100 or more yards on the ground. And tailback Joe Mixon is averaging 6.87 yards per carry during his career, the most in the Bob Stoops era among players with 100 or more carries.Mixon is spending several snaps per game split wide of the formation, ala DeMarco Murray, to help get both players on the field and dictate matchups.Its probably not quite as striking now because more people do it, Stoops said. I still think its effective and it still gives defenses some pause when youve got a linebacker thats way out on the numbers in a space where hes not used to operating. Just Demarco (Murray) along with Joe (Mixon) have such exceptional hands and an ability to get open. It works for us.Mixon enters the week second in the Big 12 in rushing with 937 yards.West Virginia has a very balanced rushing attack of its own with Justin Crawford, Rushel Shell III and Kennedy McKoy all averaging between 67-51 yards per game. This weeks effort might depend on injuries. Shell was sidelined last week at Texas and McKoy carried 25 times for 73 yards to be recognized by WVU coach as the Mountaineers offensive champion.The Mountaineers average about 211 yards on the ground while Oklahoma surrenders an average of 132.4. Last week, the Sooners struggled to slow down Baylors rushing attack early, surrendering 212 yards to the Bears.Perhaps more pressing for WVU is what the Mountaineers will get out of their quarterback.OU allows upwards of 300 passing yards per game, but in part those numbers are a byproduct of grabbing big leads and playing a softer coverage in the second half.WVUs Skyler Howard got away with one at Texas, leading the team to victory despite throwing three interceptions. Howard was 21 of 35 for 269 yards, guiding the offense to just one touchdown after they scored a quick 17 points in the first 15:11 of the game.Oklahoma leads 6-2 overall and 2-0 in Morgantown. The Mountaineers have not beaten the Sooners since they joined the Big 12. Falcons Jerseys China . 10 Texas Rangers jersey for one last time.

The fine is the fourth this season for Goldson. He was fined $30,000 for a hit on the New York Jets Jeff Cumberland in Week 1. MILWAUKEE -- Rookie Julio Urias executed when it counted.Urias battled through six innings for his first major league win, Adrian Gonzalez had three hits and the Los Angeles Dodgers hung on for a 6-5 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday night.He made pitches when he needed to, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Thats one of the things with Julio, as he continues to make major league starts. When he needed to make pitches and throw strikes, he did.Urias (1-2) walked a season-high six and struck out six in his seventh start overall and second against Milwaukee. The 19-year-old left-hander kept every Brewer hitless except for Ryan Brauns two-run double in the third and Jonathan Lucroys double in the sixth.Its beautiful, incredible, its one of the best days of my life, Urias said through an interpreter. What more can I say?The Dodgers had a scare late in the game with the Brewers threatening.Dodger center fielder Joc Pederson crashed face first into the wall in deep center after catching Chris Carters sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth. Pederson crumpled onto the warning track. After several minutes, he got up with assistance of several teammates and head trainer Neil Rampe. Pederson walked off holding his chest and was replaced by Yasiel Puig.We took some X-rays, and I think we dodged a bullet, Roberts said. Theres no fracture or anything like that. Its just a bruise. I think it was the AC joint. Its going to be day-to-day. Hes sore, but theres nothing right now as far as us, a DL (disabled list) situation or anything like that right now. So, were going to kind of see how he comes into tomorrow.Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his 23 save in 26 chances. Seven of the Dodgers last nine victories have been by one run.Urias didnt get a decision in the Dodgers 3-2 victory on June 17, holding Milwaukee scoreless for five innings, allowing a walk and five hits while striking out a career-high eight.Milwaukee pulled to 6-5 in the eighth on Lucroys two-run double off Pedro Baez and Carters sacrifice fly off Joe Blanton. The Dodgers ended the rally when catcher?Yasmani Grandal?recovered Blantons wild pitch and threw back to him to just get Hernan Perez, who stole third and kept coming down the line. The Brewers challenged the tag play and after a review of 1 minute, 19 seconds, the out call was upheld.Brewers manager Craig Counsell was impressed with Grandals poise.You get aa lot of catchers on that play when you hear the crowd and you know hes running the play, but he took his time.dddddddddddd He didnt panic, Counsell said. He kind of turned, picked up his target and made a good throw. I thought how he played it was really good.The Dodgers went ahead with three runs on five hits in the top of the fourth off Milwaukee starter Chase Anderson (4-8).Gonzalez and Pederson each drove in a run before Urias capped off the scoring with his first career base hit and RBI.Grandal made it 6-2 when he hit into a fielders choice with the bases loaded in the fifth.Anderson, who was pitching on eight days of rest including a skipped turn, allowed six runs on eight hits in four innings.SEAGERS STREAKINGCorey Seagers triple in the top of the fourth extended his hitting streak to 11 games, matching his career-high set May 10-20. Hes batting .422 (19 for 45) with seven doubles, a triple and a home run during that stretch.KERSHAW HEADED HOMEDodgers ace Clayton Kershaw (11-2, 1.79 ERA) returns to Los Angeles on Wednesday to have his sore back examined.
