The Good, the bad and the ugly from the Oklahoma Sooners win over Temple

How Oklahoma's freshmen, transfer additions fared in Week 1 against Temple
NORMAN — Oklahoma's season-opening win against Temple wasn't immaculate, but the Sooners took care of business to kick off Year 3 under head coach Brent Venables. The 16th-ranked Sooners throttled the Owls, 51-3, on Friday night at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium to move to 1-0 to start the year. The defense swarmed in its debut under new defensive coordinator Zac Alley, forcing five takeaways (with a sixth coming on special teams and returned for a touchdown). First-year starting quarterback Jackson Arnold was as-expected, throwing for four touchdowns without committing a turnover, and two of his new weapons — Deion Burks and Bauer Sharp — were as-advertised within the offense. But work remains as the program heads into its second game of nonconference play next weekend at home against Houston (6:45 p.m. Saturday on SEC Network).
