Dave: Painfully obvious Venables’ culture change will take time (especially on defense)
It was foolish of us to think that Brent Venables could take the reins of Oklahoma football and immediately contend for national titles.
While there is a lot of talent to work with, the culture change that needs to take place will not be instantaneous. Especially on the defensive side of the ball.
He who shall not be named left the defense in shambles basically through in-difference. He thought he could just out score everyone. And his defensive coordinator could have made the “All-Just-Standing-There-Team”.
All this was painfully obvious while watching a mediocre K-State team with a mediocre quarterback in Adrian Martinez run all over the Sooner defense to the tune of 41 points and over 500 yards of offense.
Kansas State won’t do better than an 8-4 record this year. Unfortunately Oklahoma might not either.
