Jackson Arnold is giving Oklahoma fans a reason to believe already
Entering his first season as the Oklahoma starter, Jackson Arnold is giving Sooner fans something to believe in more than The Bravery. Time won't let me go back to the Manning Passing Academy that took place last month, but the guy loves his wide receiver room unconditionally. All the while it is all gas and no brakes on the Arnold bandwagon in Norman, one that would make Steve Sarkisian squeal.

Oklahoma’s schedule could make or break 2024 season
The Oklahoma Sooners head into the 2024 season with a wealth of talent, but questions remain. We’re still more than six weeks away from seeing what the offensive line looks like, and it will not be until this team faces Tennessee in its SEC opener that we get a glimpse of what this team is capable of in 2024.

Predicting the Playoff: No. 4 seed Oklahoma State
Ready or not, the 12-team Playoff is here. The start of the 12-team Playoff era means that the entire conversation about being in contention will shift. A more inclusive field doesn’t necessarily guarantee that we’re about to see more variety with national champs.

Sooners have the best back seven in the SEC per Phil Steele
Defense was long a strength for the Oklahoma Sooners. The Bennie Owen, Bud Wilkinson, Chuck Fairbanks and Barry Switzer days produced hard-nosed, hard-hitting defensive units that, along with explosive offenses, helped the Sooners win six national championships. Wilkinson and Switzer each took home three titles in the 20th century. After the dreadful 1990s, Bob Stoops’ arrival meant OU was back to being a contender on the national stage. “Big Game Bob” added Oklahoma’s seventh national title in 2000 and kept the Sooners in the title picture quite often in his time as the head coach. Defense was Stoops’ calling card. He was...
