In August, we posted an article which was somewhat skeptical as to how the Sooners would do in the SEC.
The near-term answer is in: HORRIBLE!!
Oklahoma should be thankful that Auburn and Peyton Thorne imploded on The Plains. Otherwise, an 0-8 SEC mark would be in view.
Check out the Sooners’ remaining SEC games:
Saturday at Ole Miss
11/9 at Mizzou
11/23 Alabama
11/30 at LSU
OUCH! DOUBLE OUCH!
It is almost humane that on November 2nd that Oklahoma is served up an FCS morsel when Maine’s Black Bears come to town.
Brent Venables is not at fault for a spate of wide receiver injuries. However, that does not explain a putrid offensive line that could not block most grandmothers. Nor does it excuse the regression of Sophomore QB Jackson Arnold. Or getting blown out twice at home by Tennessee and South Carolina.
Last month, the Odyssey paid good money to snare a ticket to this Saturday’s game at Ole Miss. Guess we should have waited. But, no worries, when the Grove becksons, all good!
Lane Kiffin’s Rebels have already fluffed away two games that were eminently winnable. But Ole Miss should not have a tough time on Saturday and should cover the 20 point spread – unless their paid mercenaries have thrown in the towel after 2 defeats.
