SEC Media Days begins in Tampa, Florida, and the Oklahoma Sooners will take center stage on opening day.
Brent Venables, John Mateer, Eddie Pierre-Louis and Taylor Wein will represent Oklahoma as the Sooners enter the 2026 season with College Football Playoff expectations, an elite defense and one enormous question:
Can the offense finally become good enough to help OU contend for an SEC and national championship?
On this edition of Rise & Shine College Football: BIG MONDAY, Jason Watkins breaks down the biggest storylines surrounding Oklahoma as Venables and Mateer go through the SEC Media Days car wash.
What does Mateer need to say about his mechanics, decision-making and rushing workload? Can Oklahoma’s offensive line become physical enough to control SEC games? Can Venables improve on a 10-win playoff season and turn progress into championships?
Jason also examines the other opening-day programs:
• Josh Heupel and the Tennessee Volunteers
• Eli Drinkwitz and the Missouri Tigers
• Former Oklahoma offensive lineman Cayden Green
• Will Stein’s first SEC Media Days appearance as Kentucky’s head coach
Plus, Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi claims the ACC is better from top to bottom than the Big Ten. Is he defending his conference or making a legitimate argument?
Then Jason flashes back to Brooks Austin of The Film Guy Network appearing on the HOF Top 12+ Show and delivering a major take:
Texas has more to prove than any team entering the season and Steve Sarkisian has never coached the Longhorns as well as Brent Venables coached Oklahoma last season.
Was Venables’ 2025 coaching performance more impressive than anything Sark has done at Texas?
Join the conversation and tell us:
What is Oklahoma’s biggest question entering 2026?
Who has more to prove — Oklahoma or Texas?
Who did the better coaching job last season — Venables or Sark?
