Oklahoma Sooners interim head coach Bob Stoops Daniel Dunn-USA TODAY Sports

A former Oklahoma Sooners star had a message for Bob Stoops during the team’s Valero Alamo Bowl game against Oregon in San Antonio, Texas, on Wednesday night.

Stoops, who coached Oklahoma from 1999-2016, returned to coach the team for its bowl game this year. The Sooners got off to a hot start, scoring the first points of the game, and taking a 30-3 halftime lead.

While following his alma mater's game, former OU receiver Dede Westbrook commented on how well the Sooners were playing.

Westbrook played at Oklahoma in 2015 and 2016, which were Stoops’ final two years as head coach. Westbrook was obviously loving what he saw and proud of his former coach.

Westbrook had 80 catches for 1,524 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior in 2016. He’s probably not at all surprised to see Stoops’ offense producing well in the passing game against Oregon.
