Dave: Sooners face first big test at Cincy

by

Everything went about as well as the Sooners could have hoped for in their 66-17 shellacking of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane last weekend. 

The offense scored seemingly at will with three receivers gaining over 100 yards on the day.  Gabriel threw for over 400 yards and 5 touchdowns to continue his torrid pace. 

Even freshman Jackson Arnold got in on the act with a nifty 50-yard touchdown throw that was as pretty a pass as you will ever see. 

The defense also continued to hold up their end of the bargain with a Danny Stutsman pick six in the first quarter.  Any concerns after that performance would be the 2nd quarter defense that allowed Tulsa’s backup QB to drive the field twice with little to no resistance for 2 touchdowns.

Dave: Trust in Venables — Sooners gain confidence with each win

by

On October 15th the Sooners beat Kansas in Norman.  After a bye week the Sooners then beat Iowa State on October 29th.  That my friends constitutes a winning streak. 

Although the streak came against a couple of teams that are ranked in the bottom half of the Big 12 standings, we will take it. 

Because unfortunately the Sooners are in the bottom half right now as well. 

But a win on the road is always a good win no matter who the team.  Even though Iowa State has a very questionable offense, their defense was stout and gave OU fits.

Dave: Painfully obvious Venables’ culture change will take time (especially on defense)

by

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.
