When was the last time any of us watched a team trailing by 17 points, four minutes left in the game, and in possession of the ball, choose to let the air out of the ball? For me, it was today as I watched OU run out the clock rather than make any concerted effort to score. I guess venables was afraid that his QB would throw an interception or drop another fumble and wind up losing by an even larger margin. Whatever, it was humiliating...almost as humiliating as the Sooners football team was all afternoon. From a lackluster defense to another zero output from the offense, this was just like this team has looked every Saturday except one this season: terrible! I recorded and watched ten games Saturday, and without exception the very worst QBs for each team were far, far superior to OU's Jackson Arnold. He is quite simply the bottom of the barrel in the NCAAF. We OU fans had the one highlight day against Alabama, and then it was back to the doldrums Saturday. Along with Arnold's blight, the play calling by Finley was as bad as anything ever seen by a team wearing the crimson and cream. Thank gawd this wretch of a regular season is over so we can now go finish everything off with another despicable bowl game loss. Venables should be finished but he won't be. Anybody else remember his previous exit from the Sooners? The years when he and co-DC Mike Stoops couldn't field a secondary as good as average high school teams. Well, he's done it again with this year's terrible, horrible excuse for defensive backs. Oh, but it doesn't end there for this defense. The stalwart D-Line looked as porous as any other team's mediocre group. Everything that went well against Bama was evidently totally disregarded, on both sides of the ball. For the umpteenth time this year, I call for arnold to be set free like a bug in the wind. Seriously, check out the QB play across the slate this weekend and you will find none as bad as our very own Jackson Arnold. Whew!
Jackson Arnold has to throw the ball well for OU to be any kind of contender. Here's hoping.
I still don't care for moser as our basketball coach, but he has stumbled across a bevy of very talented players. Fears, Moore, Miles, etc could turn into quite a good team. Now if Moser can come up with a strategy to consistently get the ball across half court against a pressing team.
