The Sooners need to get right, and fast, but Saturday they're facing a hungry SEC squad that nearly shocked Alabama and Ole Miss.
NORMAN — Whatever that was that Oklahoma just put on the field for the last six weeks, it needs to change.
The SEC doesn’t care if your receivers are hurt. The SEC doesn’t care if your quarterbacks are green.Out of 133 teams, Oklahoma ranks 127th nationally in yards per pass attempt, averaging a measly 5.8 yards per throw.The Sooners are 128th nationally in yards per play at just 4.48.And the Sooners have just 13 total plays all year that have gained at least 20 yards. That ranks 133rd — dead last — in major college football.Tennessee ranks second at 4.04.
So clearly, the offense that Oklahoma has been running is bound to have little to no success against future opponents.calls a “soft tissue injury,” OU’s passing game this season features just six receivers who have caught at least five passes., who has only four catches but is averaging 22.5 yards per catch thanks to his 60-yard bomb at Auburn.“We weren't explosive ,” Venables said. “That's a big difference.
Behind a rebuilt offensive line and with a run game that is every bit as dysfunctional as the pass game, Littrell’s operating system so far in his six games as Oklahoma’s OC has been to fall back on his air raid roots in the passing game — can’t trust the protection to hold off the pass rush, can’t trust the young, inexperienced receivers to fight for the football, can't trust the rookie quarterbacks to make great throws. Might as well play it safe.
