OU vs. Cincy Defenses
Cincy has an offense that is currently ranked 30th, & is one spot below SMU who holds the 29th spot.
Cincy's offensive strength is the run game. This could fare well for OU's Defense as they rank top 15 rush defense while Cincy holds the 45th spot.

SMU will be a very good test for OU. Without a doubt, this game will be decided in the TRENCHES. I believe OU will win, and SMU will garner respect from the challenge they will present.

@BerryTramel
Well, it must be incredibly difficult to witness the refs cheating your hard-working players simply because the Big12 commisioner doesn't want OU or Texas in the title game. Wait till you see what they drum up for Texas in Aimes.
The agregious no call in the endzone should cost
OU Struggles for the 1st 20 minutes of the game. Why????
Because Iowa State has the

Offensive Line in the country against pass rush.
Then they turned things around and didn't allow another score for 39 minutes.
This is a GREAT sign going Into RRR.
After watching this young man's tape, I came away recognizing he had a high football IQ. He played QB in high school and converted to TE in college. He's very capable, and with time under Schmitty & Joe Jon, he will develop into a good TE. Congrats & Welcome to Sooner Nation!!
OU Commit Jaden Nickens takes a kickoff to the house and wins State. Last year, I posted a catch this youngman made. I already knew then he is special. You should know too.

USC using OU achievements to add validity to their sinking ship.

Can't help but wonder if Sammy is reconsidering his commitment to Clemson. (Losing to Duke) If he does de-commit, will Venables reapproach him about playing for OU? Sammy, if you see this, I do hope and believe you should play for Venables. He is the life blood of defense

How can you see the horrific no call on the pass interference in the endzone and not recognize that the Big12 refs are cheating OU. The Big12 Commisioner does not want OU in the Conference Title game.
WAKE UP!
After scheduling OU with Back to Back to Back opponents having BYE weeks they schedule an away game 10 a.m start time vs. BYU & a Friday game vs. TCU, but there's no way the Commisioner would ever do anything to harm a program with crooked REFs. RIGHT!

@StoopsAhoy
They live in a altered state of mind. They woller in arrogance and it costs them games every single year. Humility is what keeps a person grounded and continuing to work hard. When you live like you have arrived you forget what got you there.
Schmit misses again. If he's the best OU has, then the staff truly messed up when assessing the special teams room. I see a place kicker being a major necessity from the portal. Perhaps bring in 2. I'm sure NIL can help them even use preferred walk-on. This is 4 games now.

Texas Fake Punt horrible spot by refs.
I could use help from someone much better equipped to use media software to show a horrid mistake by the sideline ref in the RRR. This clip I watched shows the Texas player step out of bounds on the Fake Punt at OU's 33. Final
Gundy said he's proud of all his "guys." Guys must include the referees in that game. It's unbelievable what I just witnessed. I am not one to blame refs. This, however, is blatant.
Recall during the BYU game Jackson Arnold came in after DG was injured. On the most important play of the game a coach puts the ball in the best players' hands, and they chose Jackson. Not only did they call his # he read the defense & audibles a route. That play sealed the W.

North Goal Post Game Notes: OU vs. TX
It's obvious who the better team was.
SYNOPSIS:
Pass Game: OU
Run Game: OU
Line of Scrimmage: OU
T/O Margin: OU
Spec. Team: TX

PASS GAME:
OU won the pass game. Yes, this is a tight victory, but not 1 but 3
Texas Legitimate?
1- Ole Miss defense allowed same pts, 24, as Texas to Bama.
2- People say Bama is playing better in week 5 than week 2.
3- Bama had zero sacks vs. texas, while texas gave up 9 sacks to 4 lesser ranked teams.
4- Over 5 games, texas's offense scored
14.04 pts
OU vs. OSU
HOW THEY STACK UP!
Below, I have added pics listing both offenses & defenses rankings in categories.
Will add that OU is 24% more likely to score TD's in the redzone compared to OSU.
OU 87% more likely to win the T/O battle.
OU will win 41-24

He is that good. I've watched several games. His reactionary skills are top-notch. That is Elite stuff. Offenses are always utilizing misdirection. He reads it so quickly and is there to affect the play.
Whatcha get when you take a large cauldron, add sprigs of insults from an opposing coach, a dash of unprofessionalism, 3 shakes of irrelevant points, & a fistfull of Venables led team ready to defend their QB DG? You get an enormous kettle of Whoop Ass!! Cincy, thank your coach
Dillon Gabriel is entering the portal, and that clears things up on who will be running our offense vs. Arizona. I wish DG well. I won't be surprised if he follows Lebby. Sooners, let's welcome

you must not have watch any of the OU games this year. In fact, this is exactly how OU started the game against Iowa State Cyclones last Saturday! Boomer!
Agree 💯 . This staff has increased recruiting classes, the development of players is obvious, and went 7-0 before a loss were OU had 10 starters not playing.
It's absurd to doubt a staff when they ate trying to win a game with near 50% of the playmaker.
Glad some of the OU “fans” are not involved with decision making at all. Overreactions and irrationality. OU lost a game and have had a couple bad weeks. I believe in BV and this staff. Y’all keep doubting, it’s where OU plays it’s best.

You can act like it didn't make a difference in the game if you like, bit it most certainly did. Yes there are other things to put blame on, but the officiating should never decide a game. It did here.

Recruits will get an emotional response from this. Recruiting just elevated at the moment they released this. If you can't feel that, you may want to check your pulse.
Well David, I can't wait either. I know with every ounce of my being, and there is a lot of me that OU will play for Natties while you are here. All of the current players and incoming players like yourself & the 2025 class will most definitely play to be the greatest team!!

I'm sure media outlets discussed it, etc. The OU program NEVER printed out marketing material with 3 Clemson players behind Venables, saying this was the future of our program as USC did.

Bean has started just as many games as Daniels. The biggest games on the schedule have all had Bean starting.
I'm just curious. They call him the best backup in the country, but he he's their starter.
Sooner Nation. I know you know I post material that is true & verifiable. Well, it was brought to my attention that I misspoke. OU only had Back-Back opponents with bye weeks before playing OU, not 3. They have been scheduled an early 10 a.m. start time to an away game & a
