After watching this game now for a second time, it is incredible to me just how bad OU is. I mean, they are awful.
I have had my doubts about Venables. There is really nothing about him that is dynamic at HC. And its showing right now.
The defense is awful. No strength in the middle. Secondary is terrible. And this is under a defensive minded HC. I thought Jeff Lebby would be Venables saving grace so they would at least still be dangerous on offense. That didn't happen.
I don't think there's much change in the outcome even if their #1 QB had started. They may have scored once but nothing more.
I would truly hate to be OU right now. They're headed to the SEC where they won't be kind to this kind of a team. And I don't see how OU can fully recover. Not with Venables at the helm.
Next week, they host Kansas and will probably lose. I look at their schedule and I truly don't see a W there for them.
And I will enjoy every week of it.
