After Oklahoma’s second consecutive blowout loss, this time at the hands of archrival Texas in the Red River Showdown, first-year Sooners coach Brent Venables was blunt in his assessment of his team’s performance in the postgame press conference.
“Really disappointed in how we coached and played today. …I obviously did a poor job,” Venables said.
Oklahoma’s 49–0 loss featured a second consecutive poor defensive performance, which Sooners fans have to be disappointed with considering Venables’s background and how heralded he was as a defensive coordinator at Clemson.
The Sooners allowed 585 yards of total offense, and they allowed Texas’s top options on offense to do most of the damage.
