Dave: Crazy stuff happens in OU vs. Texas — but not optimistic this year
New season goal: Become bowl eligible.
And that won’t be easy considering the way the Sooners have looked that past two weeks.
There is no guaranteed win left on the schedule. We can’t even count on Kansas to be a push over anymore.
The defense is lost right now. And it may take a few years before it is found.
I saw some stats from the first few years of Venables’ tenure as Defensive Coordinator at Clemson.
His defenses ranked in the 50’s the first two years. Then in the third year they were a top 10 unit, and consistently stayed there throughout his time with the Tigers.
He is head coach now, so he has many more things that need his attention. Also, we need to realize that the Sooners lost more talent than anyone is willing to admit through graduation and the transfer portal.
