In trying to read the tea leaves, I think Sark leaves for the NFL this year, whether or not he wins a natty. I think Arch is his prized alumnus, because of name, notoriety and ability, but I think this will be it for him. He's already let go of the defensive side of the ball, at end of year he takes his ball and moves on to the next level. The cake is baked, as Charlie Strong was fond of saying. IF Sark does leave, I think Muschamp is as good a choice as any to replace him, so long as he hires someone who is a great OC AND recruiter, then relinquishes that side of the ball to whichever dynamic coach that ends up being. I like Muschamp's aggressiveness and energy, but I saw at Florida and South Carolina what a team looks like when Muschamp is at the helm. So he needs an approach similar to Sark's where everyone can focus on their forte.

38-6 Texas

Against - Muschamp has not been a good HC anywhere he has gone. He needs to stick to DC where he shines.

Heineke hurt his hammy against UGA - gonna be interesting how well that holds up.

Hope our offense is ready…we know Oklahoma DBs are going to hold and grab our WR.

I think at this stage in his life, Muschamp is content being a well paid DC and enjoying life with his family. Less headaches to deal with unlike the head coach. I agree with Gerry that top choice should be Marcus Freeman if not looking for a short term fix. He's been able to handle the Notre Dame brand and demands (which is similar to Texas); can recruit, and has built good teams. Would be similar to problem as Sark though in that NFL will come knocking.

Linebacker Cole Sullivan and safety Michael Boganowski are also game-time decisions In a standard defense, you can hide an inexperienced backup corner, but 10 personnel forces four cornerbacks or safeties into isolated, individual coverage.

Texas practices on grass. The injuries occurred on grass.

it makes no sense how this injury report is as long as it is

Cmon joe..

Yeah that’s my bad I probably should have said a different team because of today RIP coach

Man, the last part of this sentence hits different now. RIP Mike Ditka.

Genuinely wonder what Venables has his team do in practice

CJ CJ CJ we all know you are a Sooners fan for the last 2 years it’s ok buddy hell even Bobby is joining you this week the way he talks about them it’s like they are the 85 bears

Been wondering what his injury was. Thanks Hank.

Why do we even use turf just switch to grass already CDC

my poor who!?

Texas: 20 OU: 12

You are just in hell this week CJ your poor Sooners 🤣

Didn’t realize turf toe was contagious. Coleman and Terry need to stop wearing each other’s shoes.

Let's talk about the Sooners at cornerback. Eli Bowen was in fact dinged up Thursday with an ankle. I heard it was more of a rolling than a sprain, and I don't know yet if it will ultimately be enough to sideline him for the game on Saturday. However, any cornerback less than 100% is going to have their hands full against Texas even if the passing game isn't clicking completely. On the opposite side, Courtland Guillory is coming off of an All-Freshman type season for the Sooners, where the folks in Norman are expected the same type of leap Texas fans are looking to see with Kade Phillips. The issue? Through five weeks, Guillory is the most penalized defensive back in the entire SEC. And remember, that is with one game less than most other cornerbacks in the conference. According to the Thursday night injury report, Oklahoma will also be without CB Jacobe Johnson, who is listed as OUT. Think of Johnson like how Texas utilizes Warren Roberson. He has the third most snaps on the team amongst cornerbacks, and at 6-foot-2, was a likely candidate in the red area against Cam Coleman. Where does Oklahoma go if Bowen is sidelined? I lean towards Dakoda Fields being the No. 1 replacement. Fields has 17 snaps this season, five of which coming against Georgia. Sophomore Trystan Haynes (28 snaps this season) is an option. As is 5-foot-9-inch junior Jeremiah Newcombe. Regardless, there is reason to believe the Oklahoma cornerback room is susceptible if the offensive line can protect Manning enough on Saturday.

KDB purely on HC traits close-ish? not sure about handling Texas fit (biggest stage, biggest recruits...) With all due respect, no to Traylor making the leap and being in for 10 years??

Strength and conditioning issue with him and Terry out with turf toe. Need more toe workouts obviously. Joking clearly, but really hope he’s back next week, need that power run game vs Florida and Ole Miss

On the topic of injuries, heard that Eli Bowen may be out on Saturday due to an injury in practice today. I’m taking it with a grain of salt until I see it on the report tonight but if it’s true that’s another big loss for the Sooners
