Dave: Injuries abound, time to get creative
Houston…. we have several problems.
Oklahoma came dangerously close to being the second big upset of the day when they escaped the Cougars 16-12 last Saturday night at Owen Field.
Venables made the comment at his press conference that it was probably not a good thing that he was bragging on his punter who had to take the field eight times.
But the punter and the defense won the game for the Sooners that night as the offense was a no show. And of course, that is extremely concerning.
Being a 28-point favorite and only posting 14 points, the other two points provided by the defense by way of a safety, against a bad Houston team is not good.
Some over all offensive stats after 2 games are startling: 109th nationally in passing offense, 108th nationally in total offense, and 131st in 3rd down conversion percentage, against less than stellar competition. Sounds suspiciously like rankings the Sooners defense had when “he who must not be named” was at the helm.
