Standing on the field at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee, the outside world seems non-existent. The stadium’s walls rise from the banks of the Tennessee River, seemingly to the clouds.
Deion Burks was Oklahoma’s go-to receiver last season before injuries slowed his season. This season, he looked like he’d slid right back into the role seamlessly over the first two games.
Oklahoma coach Brent Venables traditionally uses many safeties in his defensive rotations, and sophomore Jaydan Hardy has emerged as a result. Hardy, from Lewisville, TX, has played on 110 defensive snaps in his second year at OU.
This is it. This is the end of the season for the loser, and the winner stays alive for an at-large College Football Playoff spot. Realistically, 10-2 gets you in the discussion, but doesn’t guarantee anything.
After struggling to consistently run the football through the first month of the season, Oklahoma has had a running back rush for over 100 yards in back-to-back
The Oklahoma Sooners currently have a quarterback problem. John Mateer isn't playing well enough for them to be winning games that they are in position to win.
Between his four years as Oklahoma’s head coach and his previous defensive coordinator stints at Clemson and OU, Brent Venables has coached in plenty of raucous atmospheres.
Not that Oklahoma’s defense needs fixing, but to Sooners’ defensive end R Mason Thomas, the solution to defensive missteps like OU had last week against Ole Miss is simple.
John Mateer has not been playing his best ball for the Oklahoma Sooners as of late, and he's even been on record admitting that. Since recovering from the thumb injury he sustained against the Auburn Tigers, Mateer has not been the same.
The Tennessee Vols are working hard to flip a 2026 four-star running back from a Big 10 program. 2026 four-star running back Amari Latimer has been committed to the Wisconsin Badgers since late June, but he hasn't completely shut down his recruitment yet (and it's unlikely that he will).
The Oklahoma Sooners have the best fanbase in the country when it comes to their football program. However, it's pretty obvious that it does not carry over into all of their sports.
Sooner or later, it won't be a secret that the Oklahoma Sooners have one of the best freshmen defenders in the SEC. Cornerback Courtland Guillory is that, already, as a true freshman, and to make things even better, he's one of the biggest steals of the entire 2025 recruiting class.
The Seth Littrell coaching era at Oklahoma did not go well. The Sooners struggled offensively last season with Littrell running the offense, averaging just 288.1 yards of total offense — 176 through the air and 112.1 on the ground — leading to Littrell’s mid-season firing by Brent Venables.
The No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners have plenty of opportunities before them to make their losses to Mississippi and Texas feel like distant memories. A road matchup with the No.
Peyton Bowen still uses the word "playoffs." In the wake of a disappointing 34-26 loss to Mississippi, the playoffs seem too grandiose a dream for the Oklahoma Sooners.
You never want to lose a game when you've got a top recruit that you're trying to flip in town for an official visit. The Oklahoma Sooners' loss to the Ole Miss Rebels mattered not in that regard, though.
On the morning of October 11th, Oklahoma and head coach Brent Venables were sitting pretty. The Sooners were 5-0, ranked No. 5 and preparing for their rivalry game against Texas.
