Fall camp has officially started, and preparation is underway for the start of the 2023 season. Team 129 is laying the groundwork for what it hopes to become this year.
No matter what you read, there are mixed emotions about how the season will go. Some think last year was a fluke. So many things worked against the Sooners from a poor roster to a first-time head coach to the ball not bouncing their way.
Some people think last year is a sign of what’s to come. “The Sooners will become the Nebraska Cornhuskers” of the[autotag]SEC[/autotag]” is a familiar refrain. Or “[autotag]Brent Venables [/autotag]is way over his head.”
I tend to lean toward the former but we’ll all find out this season. While they may not be a title contender just yet, ESPN’s Bill Connelly shared five “ifs” for the Sooners (ESPN+) for them to become contenders this year.
