Oklahoma Football: Brent Venables Press Conference (pre Auburn)

Oklahoma Sooners coach Brent Venables meets the press to talk Auburn at his weekly news conference on Tuesday Sept. 24, 2024.

As journalism and sports media continue to evolve, so will I. I’ve made a career in newspapers and radio, and now YouTube is where you’ll find my latest sports takes.

In 2001 Nate Hybl won a qb competition against Jason White. A few games into the season he was replaced during a game for Jason. White would lead the Sooners into a big game against Nebraska, but during the game Jason tore his ACL and Hybl would reclaim his postion as qb and lead Sooners to their first Cotton Bowl game. A win against Arkansas. So as long as Jackson stays connected he still might have role to play for the outcome of this season. FYI, the next season Hybl would lose the qb battle to Jason White; but once again White would tear his ACL and Hybl would come and lead OU to its first Rose Bowl game. A beat down of Washington State. Nate was the first qb to win two Bowl games for Stoops. To this day he is the only OU qb to be undefeated in Bowl games this century.

BV and team have our full confidence. Overcoming failure is not just necessary but required for success!

[MikeMontgomery]

I'm 100% behind BV and his decisions.

[ClintG-rhkh]

While extremely let down with the offense/OC...I am absolutely encouraged with our defense! I dont believe people realize just how much under their normal offensive production they were held to.

[seanakimae]

All i have to say is once you get an offense together, your teams will be dominant, that defense and the depth is ridiculous. They gave us every chance to win the game

Just figure out the offense, and im 100% confident BV can and will win 1 if not multiple titles.

[gincain]

It is much bigger than our QB problems. The offensive play calling and total offensive staff need to step up or be gone next season. Our running back room has major issues and it is obvious that BB needs major help with the OLine. I give Jones grace due to injuries but no way for the rest of the

[Baczkowa]

Let’s go get Auburn. Then get a week off of rest and good prep for Dallas, and we are 5-1.

[robertbutler]

If these guys on the OL don't show up this week its time to see if any of your younger players could help.

[Tijuanabill]

FIRE SETH LITTRELL AND FIRE MIKE STOOPS AGAIN, JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE!

Someone needs to sit Jackson Arnold down and have him (seriously) review the incredible journey of Jalen Hurts - which has become one of the greatest sports stories of the past 10 years. Additionally, Hurts (being Sooner brethren) will be available to advise and support Jackson. The absolutely incredible life lesson which Hurts showed the sports world was the irrefutable fact that having faith in one's own self and ability, exuding integrity and humility, being a dedicated TEAM player (regardless of the circumstance), and remaining mentally and physically prepared - WILL absolutely end in a successful outcome. Jalen Hurts fell from a much higher perch on the national college football stage than Jackson Arnold has (being benched at Alabama - in the NC Game no doubt!!). However, Hurts remained a dedicated, committed, and humble TEAM player. His attitude never changed. This (rare) approach earned him a second chance at glory (OU) - which he made good on. Look at him now - 4th yr NFL QB (max-contract) who's already been to a Super Bowl. How 'bout them apples !!!

I really want Coach Venables to be successful - not just W's. Love the culture this man has established.

[bryanclark]

We turn the ball over 3 times and we lost by 12 points guys please relax

[daronmorgan]

I still believe BV is the man for the job. I think he is on the right trajectory.

[INFIDEL]

I have said it for two years now, get rid of the RPO’s and inside zone running schemes. They have only hurt us and put us behind the chains. Get a play sheet like other great OC’s and redact those plays off the sheet. That’s for starters, find people that want to block on the perimeter as bad as they want the ball, Kanak was a stud offensive player wonder if he don’t need a shot at tightend.

[jerrytroxell]

I’m 71 yrs old been an OU since 8yrs when Tommy Panel was my little league couch. We have a Natl. championship defense but a John Blake offense. The offensive players are definitely over paid and the need to give their money to the defensive players until they can get their SHIT together because that’s what they are playing like. NIL is going to kill college sports and I don’t blame Nick Satan for retiring

[SwazeyThaGod]

when you're talking about the punter doing good, that's when you know the game went the wrong way

[josephdawson]

Hey Fellow Sooner Fans! Have Faith in BV as our HC. He turned our D around and now that he knows his side of the ball is Elite, he has luxury for the first time in his tenure at OU to turn his eye to the offense. Seth has a good scheme but is asking way to much of his young QBs. Not to mention the O-line and WRs thrust into action due to injury. BV is going to get Seth on the same page by pairing down the Offense. I think BV was giving Serh a long leash up to this point to get the offense humming but given Seths inability to weigh the limitations i just outlined, Seth will be given direct instruction on what to take out if his Sceme... for now. Thats a good thing! Thats what good HCs do. So let's let BV handle his staff moving forward. I think we will see quick results.

[unklerude]

Why, again, do we not have a microphone for the questions? This is STUPID!

[robertbutler]

Great advice, stay on your feet, and tackle the guy with the ball.😂😂😂BOOMER

[Vipervessel]
