*Oklahoma Offense Sputters Against Houston, Leaving Fans and Pundits Calling for Drastic Changes by Coordinators Litrell and Finley to Depth Chart and Game Plan ... But is Panic Warranted?*
In this episode of Rise & Shine College Football, Jason Watkins and special guest Coach Ricks from Coaches Talk dive deep into the looming SEC season and its potential impact on Brent Venables' Oklahoma Sooners, who following a narrow escape from what should have been an overmatched Houston Cougars program Saturday due to an uncharacteristically mediocre performance on offense, have left fans more than just mildly concerned whether OU is doomed in its new competitive landscape.
Jason and Coach Ricks discuss what needs to happen with Jackson Arnold and an Oklahoma offense that is battling injury and inexperience on the offensive line, not to mention at skill positions expected to be among the bright spots that would help the first-year starter acclimate quickly and continue OU's traditional dominant offensive attack as they enter their first season of SEC play in less than two weeks.
Can they overcome these challenges prior to their first SEC matchup with the visiting Tennessee Vols on September 14, and round into form before taking on a potent Red River Rival in Texas just more than a month from now? Or will the most talented defense in more than a decade, led by preseason All-American Danny Stutsman, be wasted by an inept OU attack failing to put points on the board to compliment Venables' stingy defense?
