Oklahoma football news: Venables gets emotional, AP poll, kickoff times

What is nice?

The Oklahoma Sooners received themselves a 30-point win that has the fan base’s abdomen turning just a bit bit. The Sooners took down Kent State 33-3, and on a day of shock upsets and underwhelming performances from school football powerhouses, frankly, this must be celebrated.

I get it. Kent State isn’t that good, we all know that. Oklahoma’s offense, for each step ahead we have been promised within the offseason, feels prefer it has supplied us a step again in place. The Wanya Morris hypothetical continues to be hanging on the market, however it’s exhausting to see the “massive” leap some thought have been coming. Oklahoma’s protection gave up three factors, however yards have been there in addition to some powerful first down conversations to swallow. Also.. Oklahoma was in a football recreation for approach longer than they need to have been.

Don’t fear, although. Oklahoma is an grownup now. They performed poorly, however by no means performed determined. Struggled some on protection, however gave up 3 factors. Struggled some on offense, scored 33. Didn’t dominate, however received by 30. They ended up 2-0, which.. I suppose is tougher than I assumed? The Irish and Aggies would agree.

College football is bizarre.

OU LINKS

• Sooners discover themselves sitting at #6 within the newest AP ballot. Which, all issues thought of is unusual. I imply significantly, how a lot we actually learn about this Oklahoma workforce? I might recommend little or no. Regardless, attributable to a wacky and wild begin right here we sit with probably the most boring run of the mill OU workforce (this can be a praise) I’ve watched in years sitting at #6. What a time to be alive.
• Brent right this moment gave a really heartfelt response about what OU and Nebraska rivalry means to him. I feel that is definitely worth the watch.

• Brent’s custom of naming captain continues and we received some faces who had huge Saturdays. Most enjoyable participant on the workforce final we (minus Mims) Danny Stutsman. Stoops additionally going to be strolling out together with a punter. Suddenly looks like they ran out of fellows.

• Here we go Oklahoma taking part in Nebraska. Big Red in Lincoln. Old rivalry comes alive. THROW THE RECORDS OUT. Can I let you know how silly that’s? I hate the “throw the records out” crowd. But thats a battle for an additional day. Most notably although the ole’ corn man shall be dealing with enterprise on his personal with out the previous QB Scott Frost on workers. This was a very long time coming, frankly disgraceful they introduced him again for this 12 months. Frost received’t be teaching towards the Sooners. I used to be excited to see Brent coach towards a National Champion profitable coach. I suppose now we gotta wait till Kansas.
• We are nonetheless a number of weeks away from OU and Texas taking the sector towards one another however now the mullet’d QB could be in query for the Longhorns. I can’t consider how properly they performed final week towards Alabama. I can’t resolve if we’re organising for a Texas turn-around or a blip on the EKG machine that’s extra dramatic signal of fleeting hope than an indication of life. Regardless, Ewers being out is a giant deal, he performed properly. He would’ve given some points to this Sooners workforce.
• Oklahoma and Kansas State is popping right into a should see TV recreation and the Big wigs on the TV firms agree. No Big Noon for this one however they Oklahoma squad does present one other night time recreation for the fan base. Sooners will host the Wild Cats under their new lights at 7pm in a few weeks.
• I’ve had extra followers ask me about Danny than another participant from this previous weekend. Stutsman performed rather well, so properly the legend of John Hoover wrote about him. The sky is the restrict for Stutsman and it’s fairly clear that Brent sees it the identical approach.
• Lord have mercy, Marvin Mims is nice. How did this man not have 15 targets a recreation final 12 months? I do know that there are some groups on the market with some implausible receivers however I did get a little bit antsy fascinated by the truth that Mims and Worthy from Texas can be taking part in towards one another in a number of weeks. That will be a fun game. Bobby Queso wrote about Mimms role against Kent State and him rolling Kent State.
• Sark is an odd coach to speak about. Everything about his offseason screamed uder catastrophe however… Saturday occurred. I don’t know if it can result in a “corner” that Texas simply turned however I don consider that now we have to contemplate it. “The dumbest thing a smart man can do it not listed to a man who disagrees with him because the smart man might be acting dumb and not know it.” My grandpa mentioned this to me on a regular basis. So, here is someone who thinks differently than I do about Texas and Sark.
• Texas’s damage bug is contagious. Robinson performed this off later and mentioned that he simply must be more durable however don’t beneath promote this. Robinson’s skill to show a 2 yard loss right into a 3 yard achieve is one thing that’s ACTUALLY the spine of Texas’s offense and would brutilize the workforce if it was lacking.

Anything else happening?

Can I speak about issues extra than simply football? Better to apologize as a substitute of permission.

• House of Dragon has some juice individuals! We additionally received to the incest all of us new was coming. This present (and actually something from this franchise) will proceed to make me really feel a little bit soiled whereas watching it. However, episode 3 had an superior battle scene and episode 4 made me need to flip it off. We are again.
