What this week has taught us about where the offense is now

Author: SoonerScoop.com October 30, 2025 Duration: 1:41:44
It's been a full week of trying to figure out what is wrong with John Mateer and Oklahoma's offense. We started out with Saturday frustrations and worked our way through players and coaches to try and find answers as to what is really happening with Mateer and the OU passing game.  With a road battle with Tennessee looming, the Sooners have to get better. And the mistakes have to disappear quickly if this team is going to do anything in these next two road trips. Josh is here to talk about the recent commitment of Jahsiear Rogers, the former Penn State commitment, and some other nuggets out on the recruiting trail. Eddie gets a little basketball talk in and we talk a little about the madness all over the world of college football with mass firings happening all over. Could Venables be joining that list if things go a certain way down the stretch?  It's this week's edition of the Unofficial 40!  ​THE FULL RUNDOWN FOLLOWS BELOW: ​​ 0:00 - Welcome back to the Unofficial 40!
