Versus TCU, Gabriel was again off-target on third down

His inconsistency/lack of accuracy has been surprising.  He's missed a lot of easy throws.  Maybe he's always had that problem and I only saw highlights of his good throws at UCF but he's looked way worse than I expected.

why set your sights so low? Forget Moore, y’all should check with Belichek first to see if he’s interested in the OU OL job.

The book on Gabriel heading into the season was that he really struggled against quality defenses. I think he is just an average QB who won't be drafted.  

[Fondren & Main 6765]

I agree with @closetojumping, if OU is pinning their hopes on Arnold or Evers they are in for a world of hurt.

I saw Evers in HS and he looked like a good athlete, but I was unimpressed with his QB play.  I really am surprised he was rated that highly.

The next Denton Guyer QB who becomes successful in college will be the first.  They better start looking for QB's in the portal or they are going to be in a world of hurt.

We all should hope OU manages to go 3-3 from here and knock’s off OSU or another top big 12 team.

Just good enough to not fire Venables, but bad enough to not have much to sell.

Some people never learn, you NEVER cheer for OU. 0-6.

I listened to the SoonerScoop podcast yesterday while doing some routine stuff and heard the first 45 minutes of it. I've never listened to it before and likely never will again, but it was fun. In any event, those guys run the site, report on the program with press passes, and talk to the coaches and players offline. When discussing the future QB situation, they spoke matter of fact that 2023 will be Arnold's team. 

Evers was overrated in high school and it shouldn't surprise anyone if he never amounts to being much as a P5 QB. That considered, I am not sure Arnold should be thought of differently. Go watch his film. He's okay. That he is considered a 5 star is comical. The differences between him and Manning or Nelson or Moore in the 2023 class are fundamental. If OU is betting the program on Arnold, we are in for some really hilarious shit.

Other random stuff I discovered from that podcast:

1) They couldn't bring themselves to discuss Texas or even say Texas during the episode. They kept lumping the UT and TCU losses together. Small-minded, insecure dipshits.

2) The big reason, they believe, that OU is getting blown out is because Venables has been working the team too hard every week in practice. Seriously, they went back to this over and over. They've been to practices recently and, comically, Venables is treating the first two practices of the week, every week, as basic tests of manhood in order to develop a culture of toughness and togetherness. If this guy is really beating the shit out of his team every week in drills, he's actually dumber than he looks, and I've always thought he looked like a junior high coach pervert.

3) They're pining for Bob Stoops to come out to practices and work with Venables to run them for the duration of the season.

4) They do not think people that matter are "out" on Venables, but they do think that people that matter will be "out" on Venables if OU suffers any more blowouts. 

5) They lamented the lack of talent and how this next recruiting class and the transfer portal will save them. I am almost curious enough to go listen to their podcast just before the first game and just after the Nebraska game. I'm going to bet they weren't doing much lamenting of their talent situation. 

Day might have some competition on his hands.

That stuck out to me as well. And you know what, maybe it's possible...I could see Venables being dumb enough to fire the guy who is allegedly one of the best at his position after one year working for him.

You raise a good point and I should have been more clear with my original post. 

Brent Venables is the guy wearing Bike shorts and flirting with the 13 year old girls he’s teaching in health class before afternoon football practice. 

Ryan Day is the guy with a blacked out van, a bag of candy, and an informal graveyard filled with 9 year olds in his backyard.

I’m an old guy. I remember 2000’s 63-14. It was a miserable week after. There were a lot of posts on Texas boards stating variations of:

 “Shit, OU outplayed and outhustled us by a mile!”

”Damn, Stoops really had them ready”

”It sure looked like they wanted this rivalry game a hell of a lot more than we did”

”They had better schemes in every facet”

IOW, a lot of stuff like you don’t see mentioned at all in the quoted dissertation.

Every bloU insider and reporter said repeatedly in the off-season and into the beginning of the season that the team was better off with Riley gone and Venables in his place. They couldn't stop talking about a supposed revamped culture and that Riley was good but he just didn't have the goods. Fucking hilarious.

OU’s aggyness is often overlooked. These idiots lost the best offensive coach in the history of their program and they expected to improve in Year 1. It uh, doesn’t work like that. 

Yes, this.

And, in some of those posts were they actually calling themselves "long-suffering?"  When have they EVER had to suffer for a "long" time, in most of our lifetimes?

Not Bud and not Barry, and there were only 9 seasons in between them where they went 67-30-2 with only one losing season and three where they won 10 games or more, including the final two seasons before $witzer that were 11-1.  That spans 40 successful years right there.

And although they probably felt like they got a raw deal when they had to fire one of the cheatinest coaches in college football history, it's not like they suffered for any length of time thereafter.  Gibbs had his issues against Texas but still managed to go 35-20-2 with zero losing seasons.

Sure, Schnelly and Blake were terrible, but that was only 4 seasons total, and after that they got their savior Bob Stoops who won one NC and about a bazillion B12 titles, and then Riley took over and never once lost more than 2 games. 

So that's 5 really bad seasons over a span of 74 years.  Those whiney bastages have zero idea at all about "suffering" but I sure as hell hope they learn it deeply and painfully now, starting with this season.  Couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch.

The Texas:OU relationship is much like the Michigan:tOSU one. The former is a great university that succeeds in football because the institution is committed to excellence in every facet- academics and athletics. The latter is a “school” willing to shamelessly whore itself out in any way needed in pursuit of football success. 
 
OU is rarely down long because they will do whatever it takes to win. If that’s buying players, they’re bought. If it’s recruiting and covering for thugs, they got that covered, too. If the only way OU could win would be to hire Urban Meyer or Art Briles, well,…that’ll be done. 
 

My hope is that the new NIL period takes away the advantages of having no moral compass. My fear is that they will figure out a way to go lower still.

Gabriel has at least one more year of eligibility. That said, QB isn't the biggest longterm problem. Throw Davis Beville on the 2016 to 2018 OU offenses, and OU may have kept it competitive for a half. OU's OL would have churned out enough yards to keep UT's offenses off the field more and led to a couple of legitimate drives. 2022 was Bedenbaugh's prove it year. I'm a hard out on him. The OTs have promise, but they've got other options on the interior. The OG play the last two years has been average or worse and C has been worse than that. I want to see other guys get snaps at this point. Unless I see marked improvement on the OL by year's end, Bedenbaugh needs to go. (This'll never happened of course because Lebby and Bill are tight back from when Bill recruited Lebby in high school).

OU doesn't have the skill position talent they did back then, but it's still top 2-3 in the conference and probably top 20 nationally. RB has Gray who's playing the best he has at OU, which is above average. Major was looking good before an injury. Barnes looks very promising, and Sawchuk had hype in high school at least. Mims and Farooq are really good WR. They have other freshmen with talent, and Stoops and Wease deserves more touches as possession receivers.

OU needs to bring down Sherrone Moore from Michigan. He's elevated the Wolverine OL since he's taken over. While your at it, get Steve Clinkscale, who's had competent DB units every year a Kentucky and Michigan. They need to donate the hundreds of thousands of dollars going to Ted Roof to charity.

One thing we've learned from our years in the wilderness is the importance of your first staff. If you fuck up your staff in year 1, you get one do-over. That sounds great and everything but you find it's harder to hire quality replacement assistants when your coach is viewed as a dead man walking. If you're going to do it, you have to do it this year or it's too late. After year 2 of Charlie, our AD had to jump on a plane and fly to fucking Tulsa to convince Sterlin Gilbert to take a pay increase and blue blood job.

Bedenbaugh would be swooped up in about 30 seconds if you made the mistake of firing him. You guys have some AWFUL assistants (Valai and Roof). It just boggles the mind that you'd be focusing on one of your best.

@Hornlover

In the very next paragraph, I talk about replacing Valai and Roof. So, yeah, I get it.

You'll have to show me where Bedenbaugh has put together a top OL in the last 4 years. Definitely, Rattler and Caleb Williams held the ball too long, inflating sack numbers. But OU hasn't had a dominant run game without Jalen Hurts at QB since 2019. There's been a big decline in the OL.

Are there worse OL coaches out there? Definitely.

Has Bedenbaugh lived up to his clippings? Not close, and it's getting worse.
