Oklahoma’s had bad performances, despite its championship pedigree and Playoff-level performances over the last few years … but Saturday reminded us that, despite the fact that defensive savant Brent Venables has taken over the program, old problems still remain. The Sooners got absolutely shelled basically from the opening whistle by TCU in a 55–24 loss on the road, their second loss in a row in conference play. In total, the Sooners allowed explosive passing plays of 62 and 73 yards, as well as big rushing plays of 35, 36, 67 and 69 yards to a TCU team coached by pass-happy Sonny Dykes.
