Is it really a new era for tight ends at OU?

After hearing from Brent Venables on Monday, we now look at what a few Sooners had to say as the season opener approaches quickly. With high expectations on all sides of the ball, is this team prepared to answer the noise? A lot of pressure lies on John Mateer, so where is the signal caller's headspace going into game one? Hayden Hansen is looking to lead the tight end room to big heights under new coach Jason Witten and he details the progress he and the rest of the room have made. Trell Harris is ready to hit the field, could this be the explosive piece to the puzzle? Finally, David Stone and Bishop Thomas weigh in on the defensive line and where the unit is compared to a season ago. All that and more on this edition of the Practice Report.
