Football fortunes in the state of Oklahoma have never been lower. There may be no close second. Consider:
Oklahoma State was a co-favorite to win the Big 12. Unbelievably, their conference mark was 0-9, ending with a 52-0 shellacking at University of Deion.
Tulsa’s 3-9 record proved the catalyst in the firing of Kevin Wilson. It is mind blowing to claim that the Tulsa finale might have even been worse than the Cowboys, losing 63-16 at home to underwhelming Florida Atlantic. FAU came to Tulsa with 9 losses and romped with 665 yards of offense. Four times the hapless Golden Hurricane D gave up at least 52 points in 2024. This stinker was not the end of Tulsa’s bad news as 4 offensive line starters hit the transfer portal.
One silver lining in the Sooners’ 2-6 SEC record was a stunning 24-3 upset of Alabama. Yet, even this pleasant November surprise could not keep 5-star recruit and starting QB, Jackson Arnold, from hitting the transfer portal.
The only good news is that Sylvester Stallone’s Tulsa King looks to be renewed for a third season.
OUCH!!
