Oklahoma’s odds of winning the national championship has dropped below 1%, so we can officially stash that hope away for next offseason. They still have an outside shot of playing for a Big 12 title, but for the rest of this season, it’s all about development. First-year head coach Brent Venables is experiencing adversity as the head man of a Power Five program as his team got rocked by TCU and is forced to overcome the injury bug.
Oklahoma doesn’t have its mojo. It began to unravel with the loss to Kansas State and was further undone by the thrashing TCU just gave them.
Things are not trending in the right direction for the Sooners. They’ve lost two in a row, but that doesn’t mean we can’t take a look at what is going right and wrong for Oklahoma in this very tough period.
