The Oklahoma Sooners did not play up to the standards they have set for themselves, on both sides of the ball, but especially on offense — so much so, that they were booed by their own home fans near the end of the game, when the Sooners were in the red zone, on a third and 11 with a chance to put the game out of reach a bit, they ran a quarterback draw for four yards.
It just wasn’t a great showing for the Sooners on offense against one of the worst power four teams in the country, a week after beating the Temple Owls 51-3. And even against Temple, the offense didn’t look great, but because they won 51-3, with some help from defense and special play setting them up in great positions, they brushed it to the side, specifically Jackson Arnold.
“Inconsistent. Made some really nice plays, and then other times, [he] maybe tried to force it,” Venables said in the postgame press conference. “Everybody around him gotta play well too. That’s part of it as well.”
The good thing is they still have one more game until they then get introduced to conference play. They have a game against Tulane, who is a fairly good football team, to get their offense going next week. And, that game so happens to be on ESPN, too, so everyone will see if their issues are fixed.
