U40: Should OU just play the young guys on the OL? The OC search begins

Author: SoonerScoop.com October 23, 2024 Duration: 1:38:56
On this episode of the Unofficial 40 we're getting ready for the Sooners to take on Ole Miss. How much hope do Sooner fans have that OU can actually win a tough game this season? Has all hope been lost? We have plenty of opinions on how OU should handle the offensive line situation moving forward. Jacob Jordan was impressive last week. But how bad has some of the OU receiver production been this season? We take a look at some numbers. And those numbers are not fun to look at. How does the administration feel about everything that has transpired? How secure is Brent Venables' job right now? And how much difference can someone like Kevin Johns make with this offense moving forward. Plenty of ups and downs in the season and just as many in this episode as Carey starts to hope again but everyone else is not willing to join him.
