Man it's such a relief to have an elite defense for once but at what cost? We've been pretty spoiled with elite offenses the last few years so this is hard to watch. Hopefully we can figure it out by Texas!
UT fan here. I said the same thing about us. OU's defense was in our backfield in a flash and made our O-line look like a high school team. Great defensive battle. Your 2QB is a player for sure. Pulling for you guys the rest of the way. Go Vols!
Coaches had all spring, summer and fall to figure out a decent offensive line, running back 1 and quarterback. Hawkins and Taylor give us the best opportunity with the offensive line woes
As a Tennessee fan Hawkins is a BALLER. That's who you need at QB not Arnold. The moment was too big for Arnold but the other kid was willing to risk his entire body to make a play 2022 Hendon Hooker style..was very impressed with that kid.. he's going to be really good if Venerables gives him a fair shot over Arnold.
Hawkins was terrible to... Our offense just sucks. I mean Hawkins is throwing over guys heads. Our OL sucks. WR and TE suck. I don't think Hawkins is our guy.
Need to make an OC change. Play calling and offensive development isn’t there. Don’t know if Finley is the answer at OC but Littrell is not what the Sooners need as Offensive Coordinator. Hawkins is a better QB. Arnold has turned into a major bust. He can’t handle the spotlight and has not progressed at all in fact he has gotten worse. Defense played their ass off against a deep Tennessee team. Bonehead turnovers killed OU and Arnold is the king of bonehead turnovers.
I think to some extent the O-Line has screwed up his development but I agree I don’t think mentally he can handle the pressure of being QB1 at Oklahoma. He’s got the talent but he’s not processing fast enough. Every single RPO play tonight he made the wrong read! And the interceptions are so easily avoidable but he’s playing scared
@@trydent_ac2420 did I imply Jackson was any better? talk about overhyped #1 coming out of high school the moment was too big for Arnold and getting removed from the game is humiliating! OU should have stayed in the Big 12
I'm a Vols fan. Happy we won and wish we could have played a bit better in the second half, but have a lot of respect for Oklahoma as a program. OU defense looks very solid, but obviously issues with injuries and the offense hurt the team. Hope OU gets it figured out for the rest of the season and best of luck to OU.
No the rest of the sec doesn’t have the personal ut does. I am a Tennessee fan give us the credit and vandy miss state doesn’t have Tennessee talent not even slice don’t over react Tennessee Alabama and Georgia are them only teams with Texas that can beat you guys rest of sec can’t.
I'm hoping Venables was just trying to stay politically correct when he said nothing is set in stone. I think we all know who will start. People say JA is young but c'mon... Nico is young, Archie is young, Trevor Lawrence and Joe Burrow was young and did amazing! The fact is Jackson Arnold doesn't have it and I think everyone knows that. Only the fans outside of OU are saying to keep him 😂
As a TN fan I think OU is a completely different monster if the O-line can get shored up and Hawkins can start. Also, I feel like OU's secondary was better than TNs, which is saying something because I feel TNs secondary played a LOT better than I expected them to. Excellent sub in on Hawkins - I'll be honest I thought it was going to go horribly wrong and boy was I wrong. That young man has some insane speed and can hit most of his marks.
@@hanleybooth5088that’s simply not true go look at the 2025 recruiting class look at how many 4 star receivers we have coming in and a 4 star qb, the transfer portal will also be hit by Venables
@@hanleybooth5088You seem like the type of "fan" that is fair weather and a chicken little. We don't need that BS mentality, we're dealing with tons of injuries and they played a pretty damn good game minus the 3 TOs. We gave Tennessee 3 extra drives and 12 points off turnovers and there is one individual responsible for all 3. If we don't fumble at the 5 yard line and Hawkins started instead who knows the outcome. If you truly believe we are Nebraska and can't compete go join Okie State or someother fanbase because that's a loser mentality. You are the same "fan" that sits down when the opposing team scores or leaves at halftime because we are down so gtfoh
You played the heck out of one of the best football teams in the country. You've probably got the toughest schedule in the country. Hang in there. It's going to be a tough year, but you're getting there.
TN Fan it is an honor to play Oklahoma I have always respected who they are their defense last night is top 10 their offense is on the rise with QB. Venerable is a strong coach
Vol fan here. Every game always has hundreds of talking points but I have a lot of respect for Oklahoma. I wouldn't be comfortable playing OU at any point. 🤟
The injuries on O line are huge. But the question is: How do we have so many guys hurt so bad so early in the season? We had a whole off season to try and get SOMETHING and we produce a O-line worse than a rural town's junior high team. And it seems the coaches just don't give a shit as long as they get their money. The defense is making effort right now, but they won't survive half-way through the season if they are the only ones playing.
At least we found a QB. Hawkins needs to be the starter. This game was winnable but the offense lays an egg yet again. Defense was really good if not great. Offense was pitiful. Oline is trash. Littrell and Finley need to be fired for this shit. You can’t excuse the type of playcalling that’s put OU in this position. Players have to execute, but coaches need to call a better game in certain situations. We got a turnover on their 5 yard line and gave it right back the very next play by calling a bad play. You’re right there. You HAVE TO score, and you’re running out of the shotgun. A QB run at that when the Oline is getting beat up the middle. This is 90’s bad.
Defense is elite and the real deal, Gave Arnold the ball on a gold plate to score and he turned it over both times on the first snap, one right at the 5 yard line!!! I don't wana hear that BS give Arnold time to grow up he's had 3 games against nobodies and a bowl game last year where he threw everyone the ball in a Arizona uniform they had 7 deflated footballs on a spike!! #1 Gatorade player of the year out of high school should play like it.. Hope you all realize now the jump from high school to Power 4 college football is just out of his league, happens all the time with players!!! He will make a good G5 Qb somewhere but Hawkins is a true freshman and he doesn't need time to grow up!!! He went out there and ran into the teeth of the defense, showed grit after getting the butterflies out!!! but you didn't see him fumbling the ball while getting hammered at the goal line and you dam sure didn't see him throwing the ball up in triple coverage to the other team, he threw it away when the play was busted like a mature veteran QB!!! Arnold's not our guy and Hawkins is OUr future might as well get a head start on building him now and bulking him up some!!! Hawkins for QB#1!!! I want to throw my 2cents in and call for Seth Littrells head!!! Now yall see why he was fired from North Texas Running that Mountain West Mickey Mouse BS offense is why he was 0-5 in bowl games at NTexas, he needs to get on down the road we don't run that BS at Oklahoma!!!
We finally have a defense that is badass but now we have a John Blake offense . This is the worst’s since 1998 and that year they looked like keystone cops in a Buster Keaton movie.
K-Stater alum here.....I wish we had the Tenn D-Line, those kids are absolutely pro material no question, Boomers, dont be hard on your QB's, they were running for their lives. Tenn. very very good team you will not face a D-Line like that with the 6,7 man rotation the rest of the year
@@marruz0 ya...he pulled it when he should have handed it off and kept it when he should not have...ugly...i still think he can be good but not this season
As a Vol fan it’s always nice to get a win against a ranked team, especially on the road. OU’s defense is for real. There’s no doubt they disrupted Tennessee’s offensive plans. With that said, so proud of our defense. They are playing really great football. Their qb struggled, some self induced, but Tennessee deserves credit as well. Really good against the running game. As an outsider I’d definitely go with that kid that came off the bench at qb. He showed a lot of heart and sparked a stagnant offense. Good luck OU. Unfortunately for both of us it doesn’t get easier…
We are so cooked next week. If Hawkins starts god bless him bc starting on the road first time on the season. First ever CFB game is such a tough ask. But we have the defense so idk haha
we need to force play calls by statistics. we had things that worked but we stopped. players didn’t execute on offense. excite to see what hawkins can bring to counter our bad line. they weren’t just getting out muscled. they have NO nasty in them.
Injuries and inexperience on O line and were trying to run up the middle and throw 40 yd passes ain’t getting it Losing to Tennessee is one thing but we were lucky to beat Houston.Looks like a high school offense. I am not ready to give up on Arnold but he needs better coaching.
OK got like Tenn @ 75 percent.... they didn't even try to score in the 2ed half. Seems like they were saving their big plays for when they will need them. Scary for the rest of the country.... or just overrated?
I think people are being way too hard on Arnold…. Yes he didn’t look good but I blame the coaches… you know your Oline isn’t good so why just drop back and try and pass? You had success moving the pocket with Arnold during the first half of the Tulane game and then got away with it until the end of the game and you went back to it. Against Tennessee you didn’t start moving the pocket until Hawkins got in the game and surprise you had success. Both QBs are dual threat QBs so why run different offenses with them???
Hey Coach V, what’s going on with the offensive line? Do they ever block? If they are getting an NIL pay check then they are under performing. The defense was amazing. The Freshman quarter back needs to be a starter. I hope you can fix the problems with the offensive line.
Good luck an thanks for the best coach ever ou welcome to the sec..don't be so hard on jackson.. Hawkins woulda looked the same he just looked better cuz he was fresh an our defense was worn down from so many snaps in 100 degree weather and playing out of their minds
If that's true then how come all we have heard about is how much depth Tennessee has on defense and everywhere? If we don't have 2nd and 3rd string guys playing everywhere on offense and Jackson doesn't give you 12 points on 3 turnovers this game is even closer than 10. OU has been without their top 3 returning receivers (Farooq, Anderson, Andrel Anthony) and multiple offensive lineman. To Tennessee credit they took advantage of our turnovers and we gave them the ball back the next play 2 times after forcing turnovers. If anyone was "tired" it was Oklahoma's defense and they still played their ass off so it's okay to give them credit and not come up with BS excuses especially saying Tennessee was tired. If Hawkins starts and gets in a groove look out OU will be a major threat
Texas fan here. Part of me was rooting for u guys to beat your first SEC opponent. Then I said to myself, well I don’t need them going into the RRR with too much confidence. Boy am I glad that u guys don’t have top Qb play like yall usually do. That’ll b too damn dangerous with that defense 😅
Cannot overemphasize how much a quality offensive line means to a team. The OU line is trying their best but the skill and experience just isn't there to compete at an SEC level. The receiving corp is pretty much just one player now. Hard to be a quality qb with those tools. Defense was incredible. Really only gave up about 14 pts to a great TN offense.
OU defense is light years ahead of where it was under LR. Much respect to that D for the effort against that Tenn offense. Now switch QB's and you'll be on your way. 👍
Offensive line is completely inexcusable how is Bedenbaugh so bad at recruiting with all the 1st round picks in the NFL? Also Seth should be fired and forcing DG out when Jackson Arnold is this bad is massive oversight by the coaching staff.
Where's the little inside shuffle pass to the delay block back when defense is smothering QB ,Q Griffith tore up defense and won a lot of games against over pursuing rush.Just think offense is to vanilla please mix things up.
Get that field under control OU. That was embarrassing. Not gonna fly in this conference. I thought you guys had a top tier team and facilities? Not what I saw. Can't believe that was the field you play on every week. Insane. That's the worst field in the conference. Below Vandy. Do better OU. Welcome to the SEC. It's a freaking buzz saw and won't get any easier. It'll get harder and harder. I think yall are a 6 win team this year with the QB problems and the o line not up to OU standards. Best of luck to you. All OU fans I talked to were great and knowledgeable. Except the idiot who made the remark on UA-cam about Tennessee and Heupel being an "easy win". Ooops
I mean we literally threw the ball into the ground and it was behind the receiver for a fumble. So terrible. Throws into double coverage for an INT. Can't protect the ball after causing a turnover. Tennessee is good but they were fall from dominating in this game
Half credit. ... But a w is a w...in the sec .... This reminded of all the years watching SEC play. Shytty plays after shytty plays from both teams. Eventually someone has to win.. Lol GG tenny
As bad as they played they still had a chance to win. The play calling needs to be better. They just went toe to toe with arguably the best team in the sec and only lost by 10 and can make the argument they could have won that game easily.
Especially since the field was a drenched long grassed mess designed to slow TN down and cause injuries. Unfortunately an OU player was seriously hurt. Shameful!
@@suzannekeith7304 what??? you think OU flooded their field in an attempt to slow down Tennessee??? Now why tf would they do that knowing their own players have to play on that field???
When your defense plays like THAT, it should always be a W. Littrell needs to be canned, we need to hire an actual QB coach. As shitty as JA played, I have to give him some grace because the QB room clearly has no development in any way shape or form. Any QB playing under Littrell will be wasted talent.
Start Hawkins. Jackson is a nice kid, but those turnovers literally cost the game. OUr defense played well enough to win & deserved to see some of their forced turnovers turned into points. Those 2 BAD fumbles killed all the momentum when the palace was fixing to explode. Not a hard decision
Hey coach, stop teaching players to fake injuries to stop the game! I think it is pathetic that coaches teach defenders to "lay down" and fake an injury in order to stop the play. It should be an auto 15 yard penalty and that player should not be allowed to return to the game. Jumping in the air after the play and pretending to be injured has no part in the game. COACHES should be ashamed!
Highly doubt it was faked. It was over 90 degrees on the field cramps happen. Same could be said about Tennessee players on a couple different occasions tonight.
@@clarkd2742 so you didn't see Terry faking an injury with the video reply? Jackson also faked an arm injury. Of course Dolby didn't fake anything because his ankle/foot was facing the wrong direction. Nobody would dispute that injury!
I cam tell he hates losing. That's what I want to see on my coach. We had a chance of our offense could do anything at all. Jackson isn't who we thought he was
Bv is the right guy and I feel bad for Arnold because he has the talent but doesn’t have the mental fortitude for the number 1 spot , but what a good kid.
I’d fire Seth after the game. We’ve seen what he brings after the first 4 games. Let me give everyone a hit who plays us: we are going to run it up the gut for -2 yards, then we’ll try the jet sweep. If you can handle that, you’ll give us a good game
One of the biggest problems on offense is the offensive line doesn’t communicate anything. Even if they blocked the people they would perform much better if they communicated like the defense does.
OU fan and alum here. Now, we must go to Auburn. Alabama has problems winning there so let alone my Sooners. And why the heck do we continue trying to run up the middle.
I agree or hell let Joe John or DeMarco give it a shot. Wish they would give Cale another shot, he called a hell of a game in the Alamo bowl a few years back
The main difference between these two teams is that the next time Tennessee plays OU in Oklahoma in 2028 JHeuple will still be Tennessee head coach but OU will definitely have another head coach by that time for sure.
You will lose the next five, stop making excuses for Arnold. He sucks. The offensive line ducks as well. They couldn’t blow a hole in wet toilet paper.
Vols fan here. OU defense is top tier! Glad we got the win tho. Hawkins worried me for a minute. Great game guys
It wasn’t but thanks for the compliment lol, good luck to yall the rest of the season
Appreciate it, but there's never been a worse offense on that field than OU rolled out there today. We love Josh, congrats.
@@austinmetheny27wha are u talking about our defense looks top 5 in the nation
@@Jdub3amigoyour offense ranks 124th in the country 🤡
Really? 🤨 A defense that fakes injuries. Uh...Real elite there
We already had the QB competition tonight. Hawkins is 1A
They better not give Jackson another snap.
Hawkins would have forced TN to play a little more on offense instead of just ram it down the throat to run the clock.
Hawkins wasn't good either... Our OL is the worst in college football. TEs are the worst in SEC. WR are undersized.
Teams will have tape on Hawkins from now on. He is going to struggle like all first year quarterbacks. OU has to get better on the offensive line.
They Both played QB with the Same Sorry O line?? Stop making Excuses For Jackson Arnold's Poor Performance Performance

Personally I don't care what type of offense you run. If your O Line is getting put on it's ass all night long you are going to lose.
That is what it ALL boils down too….future opponents have pretty good d-lines as well, so the pressures gonna keep coming….

OU defense good. Tennessee and Texas looks like they will get to the playoffs
OK got like Tenn @ 75 percent.... they didn't even try to score in the 2ed half. Seems like they were saving their big plays for when they will need them. Scary for the rest of the country.... or just overrated?
Please find someone to call offense
OU not SEC caliber
Wasnt “Action Jackson” a 5 star prodigy? I cant believe BV didnt go to the portal for a back up until “AJ” had a chance to mature…
He did. We have Casey Thompson as the 3rd string. Texas/Nebraska QB in the recent years.
In all fairness, vols D is phenominal.
Yeah that d line.
If I was a head coach I would fire any OC that the primary offensive plays is run it up the middle.
I think people are being way too hard on Arnold…. Yes he didn’t look good but I blame the coaches… you know your Oline isn’t good so why just drop back and try and pass?
You had success moving the pocket with Arnold during the first half of the Tulane game and then got away with it until the end of the game and you went back to it.
Against Tennessee you didn’t start moving the pocket until Hawkins got in the game and surprise you had success. Both QBs are dual threat QBs so why run different offenses with them???
Let Joe Jon start calling plays and keep him on the sidelines. Can't hurt at this point. Someone also suggested DeMarco but not sure about that one.
Yea no demarco for play calling he needs to teach the backs to stop getting tackled by the shoelaces and play the best one regardless of class
Very, very good defense-great job.
Vol fan, great Defense you have, glad we got the W but the Sooners are no easy task for sure. This conference is a gauntlet SEC
Hey Coach V, what’s going on with the offensive line? Do they ever block? If they are getting an NIL pay check then they are under performing. The defense was amazing. The Freshman quarter back needs to be a starter. I hope you can fix the problems with the offensive line.
Seths playbook is peewee league.
What’s up with the wide receivers not being more open?
YEAR 3!!! WHATS GOING ON!!?
Jackson Arnold should come to Stillwater. I think he’s a good qb with a bad online.
Good luck an thanks for the best coach ever ou welcome to the sec..don't be so hard on jackson.. Hawkins woulda looked the same he just looked better cuz he was fresh an our defense was worn down from so many snaps in 100 degree weather and playing out of their minds
If that's true then how come all we have heard about is how much depth Tennessee has on defense and everywhere? If we don't have 2nd and 3rd string guys playing everywhere on offense and Jackson doesn't give you 12 points on 3 turnovers this game is even closer than 10. OU has been without their top 3 returning receivers (Farooq, Anderson, Andrel Anthony) and multiple offensive lineman. To Tennessee credit they took advantage of our turnovers and we gave them the ball back the next play 2 times after forcing turnovers. If anyone was "tired" it was Oklahoma's defense and they still played their ass off so it's okay to give them credit and not come up with BS excuses especially saying Tennessee was tired. If Hawkins starts and gets in a groove look out OU will be a major threat
Texas fan here. Part of me was rooting for u guys to beat your first SEC opponent. Then I said to myself, well I don’t need them going into the RRR with too much confidence. Boy am I glad that u guys don’t have top Qb play like yall usually do. That’ll b too damn dangerous with that defense 😅
Tx. is going to be tough tough for OU, ou fan here
I cant wait until injury = sitting put at least the entire quarter or something. The faking injuries is so stupid
They just not ready for the SEC !! They will get it together
The OU quarterback should be the second guy. Missed some people high but still much better. That can be fixed
I’ve seen High schools in okc
call better offensive plays then who ever is calling these plays 4 weeks of complete trash on that side of the ball 🤬
If your OL is playing badly, no offensive coordinator is going to look good.
Cannot overemphasize how much a quality offensive line means to a team. The OU line is trying their best but the skill and experience just isn't there to compete at an SEC level. The receiving corp is pretty much just one player now. Hard to be a quality qb with those tools. Defense was incredible. Really only gave up about 14 pts to a great TN offense.
OU defense is light years ahead of where it was under LR. Much respect to that D for the effort against that Tenn offense. Now switch QB's and you'll be on your way. 👍
QB doesn’t give up sack 10% of the time. It’s the OL.
🤘 Texas is going to come for your job Seth and Brent
Offensive line is completely inexcusable how is Bedenbaugh so bad at recruiting with all the 1st round picks in the NFL? Also Seth should be fired and forcing DG out when Jackson Arnold is this bad is massive oversight by the coaching staff.
Where's the little inside shuffle pass to the delay block back when defense is smothering QB ,Q Griffith tore up defense and won a lot of games against over pursuing rush.Just think offense is to vanilla please mix things up.
Get that field under control OU. That was embarrassing. Not gonna fly in this conference. I thought you guys had a top tier team and facilities? Not what I saw. Can't believe that was the field you play on every week. Insane. That's the worst field in the conference. Below Vandy. Do better OU. Welcome to the SEC. It's a freaking buzz saw and won't get any easier. It'll get harder and harder.
I think yall are a 6 win team this year with the QB problems and the o line not up to OU standards. Best of luck to you. All OU fans I talked to were great and knowledgeable.
Except the idiot who made the remark on UA-cam about Tennessee and Heupel being an "easy win". Ooops
God I hate SEC fans. I truly do.
You guys have lawn mowers in Oklahoma?
Apparently not but they have water hoses.
Give Tennessee all the dang credit!!!!
Welcome to the SEC boys! More games like this are coming, trust me.
I mean we literally threw the ball into the ground and it was behind the receiver for a fumble. So terrible. Throws into double coverage for an INT. Can't protect the ball after causing a turnover. Tennessee is good but they were fall from dominating in this game
Exactly. Wasn't impressed by tennessee at all. If the ou offense had a pulse, tennessee wouldn't have stood a chance. @@hoel7367
Half credit. ...
But a w is a w...in the sec ....
This reminded of all the years watching SEC play.
Shytty plays after shytty plays from both teams.
Eventually someone has to win..
Lol
GG tenny
@@hoel7367 If we didn't play conservative in second half we would have put 40 on Oklahoma! Oklahoma has one of the worst fields I have ever seen!
As bad as they played they still had a chance to win. The play calling needs to be better. They just went toe to toe with arguably the best team in the sec and only lost by 10 and can make the argument they could have won that game easily.
Especially since the field was a drenched long grassed mess designed to slow TN down and cause injuries. Unfortunately an OU player was seriously hurt. Shameful!
@@suzannekeith7304 what??? you think OU flooded their field in an attempt to slow down Tennessee??? Now why tf would they do that knowing their own players have to play on that field???
When your defense plays like THAT, it should always be a W. Littrell needs to be canned, we need to hire an actual QB coach. As shitty as JA played, I have to give him some grace because the QB room clearly has no development in any way shape or form. Any QB playing under Littrell will be wasted talent.
Start Hawkins. Jackson is a nice kid, but those turnovers literally cost the game. OUr defense played well enough to win & deserved to see some of their forced turnovers turned into points. Those 2 BAD fumbles killed all the momentum when the palace was fixing to explode. Not a hard decision
Hey coach, stop teaching players to fake injuries to stop the game! I think it is pathetic that coaches teach defenders to "lay down" and fake an injury in order to stop the play. It should be an auto 15 yard penalty and that player should not be allowed to return to the game.
Jumping in the air after the play and pretending to be injured has no part in the game. COACHES should be ashamed!
Highly doubt it was faked. It was over 90 degrees on the field cramps happen. Same could be said about Tennessee players on a couple different occasions tonight.
Fake injuries and a trash field
@@clarkd2742 so you didn't see Terry faking an injury with the video reply? Jackson also faked an arm injury. Of course Dolby didn't fake anything because his ankle/foot was facing the wrong direction. Nobody would dispute that injury!
I cam tell he hates losing. That's what I want to see on my coach. We had a chance of our offense could do anything at all. Jackson isn't who we thought he was
OU hasn't played complementary football in 18 years.
Get Seth out he’s causing toxic environment
OC is the issue Brent. Come on don’t wait forever to make the right choice.
Josh Heupel didn't want to embarrass OU. Clearly he took his foot off the gas in the 3rd quarter.
Bv is the right guy and I feel bad for Arnold because he has the talent but doesn’t have the mental fortitude for the number 1 spot , but what a good kid.
I’d fire Seth after the game. We’ve seen what he brings after the first 4 games. Let me give everyone a hit who plays us: we are going to run it up the gut for -2 yards, then we’ll try the jet sweep. If you can handle that, you’ll give us a good game
One of the biggest problems on offense is the offensive line doesn’t communicate anything. Even if they blocked the people they would perform much better if they communicated like the defense does.
OU fan and alum here. Now, we must go to Auburn. Alabama has problems winning there so let alone my Sooners. And why the heck do we continue trying to run up the middle.
Where was Bob?
Great defensive effort. Please tell LATRELL to stop running lame QB draws up middle given poor blocking
Bring in jason or sam to be qb coach
I agree or hell let Joe John or DeMarco give it a shot. Wish they would give Cale another shot, he called a hell of a game in the Alamo bowl a few years back
The main difference between these two teams is that the next time Tennessee plays OU in Oklahoma in 2028 JHeuple will still be Tennessee head coach but OU will definitely have another head coach by that time for sure.
You will lose the next five, stop making excuses for Arnold. He sucks. The offensive line ducks as well. They couldn’t blow a hole in wet toilet paper.
Need to go old school spread and up tempo offense leach style
