New QB, healthy O-line and strong defense bring optimism for Sooners
The Sooners enter year two of their SEC experience hopeful that a new QB, a healthier WR corps and an already strong defensive line will improve their chances against the same murderer’s row conference schedule in 2025.
It will be an important test for head coach Brent Venables who is on the hot seat in his fourth year at Oklahoma, after a disappointing 6-7 record last year and managing to win only two conference games.
Certainly the second game of the season at home against Michigan will set an early tone for OU; but, the real test comes in October when the Sooners face No. 3 Texas, go on the road against a stout No.13 South Carolina and then return to Norman to face No. 24 Ole Miss.
