Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables lays down the truth regarding Jackson Arnold
The Oklahoma Sooners should be 2-4 in SEC play right now. Instead, they are 1-5, after losing a game that was more than winnable. In fact, they were up with just a few minutes left. A holding call on the Sooners' defense, that wasn't a holding, gave the Mizzou offense new life. They then scored […]
The Oklahoma Sooners should be 2-4 in SEC play right now. Instead, they are 1-5, after losing a game that was more than winnable. In fact, they were up with just a few minutes left. A holding call on the Sooners' defense, that wasn't a holding, gave the Mizzou offense new life. They then scored on a Theo Wease Jr. touchdown to tie the game for the Missouri Tigers.

While they won't be making a new hire anytime soon, they will have plenty of criteria and pull to hire the best possible candidate. One thing head coach Brent Venables won't be looking for is ties to Oklahoma. Both of his offensive […]
