Oklahoma has gotten beaten up in the SEC year one. Tough having a brand new offensive line with no returners...... in any league.
End of 1st. OU with almost double the possession time, more total yards, despite Ole Miss getting kickoff. Not converting 4th inside the 5 is the big blemish. Last two Ole Miss drives, basically 3 and out. OU with the ball, first down.
Kinda funny story. I was grocery shopping yesterday here in Colorado, when two dudes bumped into each other. Apparently they were friends and started talking about Oklahoma football. One said they can't even stomach to watch OK play. I smiled and piped up "The SEC is no joke." I got dirty looks and then went on about my business.
OU RB fumbles, Ole Miss recovers and advances, but fumbles during runback. Next snap, OU fumbles and Ole Miss gets it. Two snaps, 3 fumbles for turnover.
A factor, but Venables is no Lincoln Riley. They do have a new offensive coordinator for this game, so we will see if he makes a difference.
