U40: Missouri is biggest game of Brent Venables era

U40: Missouri is biggest game of Brent Venables era

Author: SoonerScoop.com November 7, 2024 Duration: 1:24:01
The gang is back and we're all pretty jacked for Oklahoma versus Missouri this weekend in Columbia. The Sooners have become the betting favorite. They have more momentum than they've had all season on offense. The defense is still playing well in a lot of areas and Brent Venables is poised to become bowl eligible. That's not something a lot of people had hope in after South Carolina. Has Jackson Arnold become a new quarterback and come out of his benching with a renewed sense of confidence? Is the OU run game getting to a point where it can help the offense produce explosive plays in the passing game? Is the offensive line any better? Or will we quickly find out not much has changed? And is there help on the way at receiver with Jalil Farooq and Deion Burks? What would a win at Missouri do for recruiting momentum with Alabama coming to town for the final home game of the 2024 season. It's a lot to get through as this roller coaster of a season reaches the top of its biggest peak. THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial40!
