Oklahoma Sooners and Brent Venables have an obvious change to make on offense

It's time for the Oklahoma Sooners to fire Seth Littrell. It's been trending that way all season, but after this disastrous game against the South Carolina Gamecocks, it has to happen now.

The offense is an abject disaster. There's no sugarcoating it. The game plans are bad, and they blow assignments regularly. The scripts are poor. The blocking scheme is horrendous. The play designs are ineffective at best and downright stupid at worst.

Oklahoma's offense doesn't have an identity more than halfway into the season. They don't generate explosives, and they don't play efficiently enough to play ball control. Randomly, they will just abandon concepts that have worked in the game to run something completely different that doesn't work.

The Sooners have run three different offenses in their last three games, and none of them have worked. They came out of the bye week before Texas completely unprepared and were dysfunctional at best.

Oklahoma is 133rd out of 134 teams on explosive plays, just ahead of the 0-6 Kennesaw State Owls. They haven't scored a touchdown in the last 21 days (unless they pull a miracle against South Carolina as I am writing this). They sit 124th in EPA/Play, tied with KENT STATE in that category.

The Oklahoma Sooners have not had a single game with over 200 passing yards so far this season. 200. Not one. All season.

The last time Oklahoma had a stretch of five games of under 200 yards passing in 2014. Following that season, the Sooners fired offensive coordinator Josh Heupel. That firing led to the hire of Lincoln Riley, who we all know how effective he was as an offensive playcaller.

However, the last time the Sooners have had a stretch as poor as this was all the way back in 1997! Having anything compared to the John Blake era is a bad sign, but it being that stark is simply startling. Against South Carolina, the offense's ineptitude saw them face their largest deficit at home since, once again, the John Blake era.

They can't run the ball. They can't pass the ball. Enough is enough.
