How bad did OU look?

[David Latiolais]

OU offense was just horrible against Houston. They're young QB is not good at all, at least in the first two games. You know the fan base is wishing Dillon was still on the team. Last year they were crying for Arnold to get in the game and play, be careful what you wish for. I bet the points on this game just jumped.

For what it’s worth, Lehman and ikeard believe Arnold will be benched

Michael Hawkins will be the guy at some point IMO

I’ve got to listen to their podcast ha

Is it possible to win with defense in 2024?  Michigan did last year, but OU's offense isn't playing complimentary football.  I know they ran that formula to a National Championship in 1999, but not sure Venables can win 8 games in 2024.

I guess we'll find out on 9/21.

Michigan also had a terrific running game and a 1st round QB last year.

complEmentary 🤦‍♂️

[TheContractor12]

they looked really bad vs a bad UH team. but to be real, we did too last year after the 1st Q. UH made stupid mistakes.

The Land Thieves offense looked like hammered dog ****. Their defense didn't exactly strike fear in me at all either, if Houston had a on OC with a functional brain they probably win that game.

I said this summer I expected for Hawkins to eventually take over and Arnold to transfer. I believe I took some heat on here when I said that. It's coming. 
 

Their OL also sucks

Hopefully Arnold is still the QB for our game. He needs to go transfer to Herman.

If Venables has a pair, he'll tell Arnold to go ahead and transfer to Texas Tech in December if he wants and make the switch to Hawkins. It's bad enough that Venables allowed himself to get bullied into shipping out Gabriel so Arnold could start; time to call daddy's bluff (your son sucks) and make the right coaching decision.

[jonbailey]

I am almost certain Venables will wait till the Texas game to make any sort of switch.  There the dirt burglars will probably start Arnold and pull the switch if the game isn't going well for them. Defense needs to be prepared for both QBs.

They have OL injury issus mounting. One tackle Jake Taylor, can't stay on the field either. 

[Dread-headed Texan]

I'm not sold on this dominant 0u defense they've played Houston who couldn't score on UNLV and Temple who only scored 11 on Navy. Now before you say that's only because Navy is a run heavy T.O.P. team, nope, Navy had plenty of explosives. I think Navy forced 2 or 3 turnovers too. 

[Huskie1]

I think their defense is legit. That being said, even a good defense can’t hold up when the offense can’t move the ball and consistently puts the defense in tight spots. If they don’t figure out the offense, it will be a long season for them. 
BYW, I want a shut out when we play them!
