Its a game where I see us taking many risks on both sides because we are not on position to win doing the same thing we’ve done. GA is too good.
It is sad to see the Sooner Nation so down on their team before a big time road game.
Preseason, we were hoping this game would be a clash of titans. I still think it is when you consider the OU defense and UGA offense. But I've seen a few OU podcasts similar to your take where they don't care about the OU defensive play because the offense has been so irritating.
My fear is that the mistakes made by OU to this point appear very correctable. I do see OU taking big swings against the Dawgs. And the closeness of the game depends upon that batting average.

Oklahoma has won its last three true road games against AP top-five opponents (beat No. 4 Baylor 44-34 in 2015, No. 2 Ohio State 31-16 in 2017 and No. 4 Alabama 23-21 last year).

Fans are tired of the last 10 years. Riley had the great offenses and no defense. His kick decision plus defense cost us the GA game.
Then Brent is in year 5 and offense sucks now, where defense is great. Its such a flip.
Brent isn’t going anywhere but he has to fix the O. We have an offensive mind Kevin Wilson on staff as an analyst. He could take over today if needed. But I think Brent wants to see how GA and tx games go first. Our season is on line for playoffs. Win one of these 2 and at 3-2 we have a chance. Go 0-2 and be 2-3 and thats gone.

A big part of offensive playcalling is calling the plays that put the players in a position to win. My limited outside viewpoint on 3 games this season appears that the team does not pay attention to details. And when you can't get the details right, it doesn't matter what the playcall is. It only takes 1 F/U to blow a play.
We had Todd Monken at OC 2020 to 2022. He was the biggest A-hole. But his anal retentiveness got players to know their role. Know their keys. Know their techniques. And we had an extremely high level of execution with multiple schemes (which eventually find something every defense struggles with).
Is it attention to detail and your OC/HC's fault?
Or are play designs and sets of plays (patterns) the problem?

Its a young OC
Its a new RB coach
Its a new TE coach
Its a bad WR coach (my opinion)
Its an aging OL coach
Its a HC who coaches D only
Fitting a lot of moving parts into a viable gameplan is hard with changes. Brent wants O to do O. Talent is on staff player wise. Only coaches can teach that talent.
I will say, Arbuckle actually has created some good schemes at times and Mateer just hasn’t taken advantage. And our TE room is the best of all O rooms so far. RB coach put 2 in NFL so he’s got brains.

Does your offense have an identity?
Posted on 9/24/26 at 2:11 pm to meansonny
Yes, Offensive
