Oklahoma linebacker Eric Striker offered some smack talk this week in the press, discussing the hype of the SEC and how it might help the Sooners' "bring down" Tennessee on Saturday night in Knoxville.
"I hope SEC players don't let it go their heads. Because this is how you get beat," Striker said this week, via Tusla World. "I look forward to it. Gas ‘em up. Bring ‘em back down to Earth."
Striker also said he doesn't know "why people blow gas up their a-- all the time."
After the Sooners had sealed a 31-24 win in double overtime, Striker kept the discussion going with the Tennessee fans in Neyland Stadium. It was more of a one-way conversation than a healthy back-and-forth with Striker's taunts being met by a chorus of boos.
According to The Oklahoman, Butch Jones addressed Striker's taunts after the game, asking the All-Big 12 linebacker to have some "class."
Eric Striker said Butch Jones approached him during the post game celebration and said, "You're a helluva player, but have some damn class."
