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.
Defense? We Ain’t Got No Stinkin’ Defense
It is now official, I’m just as great a psychic future fortune teller as was Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce or Jean Dixon.
OU’s football team should never again play Kansas State under any circumstances, anywhere, anytime ever again – without some Witch/Conjurer/Sorcerer who magically transports themselves to the center of the field wherever the teams are playing and then proceeds to cast a spell on football ineptitude, stupidity and poor play over every second of KSU’s play.
The Curse Of The Wildcat has struck OU again. And this time, it was not only ugly proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, that, right now, Venables, et al on the defensive coaching staff, have no Sooner magic over a barely acceptable, very poor defensive squad.
In the Sooner’s mystifying and epic defensive collapse last Saturday a seemingly dumbstruck Venables, the head Defensive Coordinator, and Co-Defensive Coordinator Ted Roof looked bewildered in the post-game press conference, with not a real answer between them of how they are going to fix the Calamity Of The 12 Defense that trotted onto the field in Kansas?
