The [autotag]Oklahoma Sooners[/autotag] offensive line in 2022 was a solid group. One of the mainstays on the line was transfer [autotag]McKade Mettauer[/autotag].
Mettauer transferred in from the [autotag]California Golden Bears[/autotag] where he was a three-year starter.
His first year in Norman was solid. One thing he was, was consistent. That’s something [autotag]Bill Bedenbaugh[/autotag] loves in an offensive lineman.
Mettauer is someone the coaches feel can take his game to another level. Brent Venables has mentioned in the past he looks different this year and more sure of himself on the practice field.
Mettauer told reporters, he feels this year’s offensive line has the ability to be “much better” than a season ago.
“We have to prove ourselves every day and make sure we’re in good enough shape and taking our reps seriously every day so we can have a standout o-line as we should,” Mettauer said. “I think what is different than last year, is our skill level is a lot different. I mean we had Anton (Harrison), Wanya (Morris) and Chris (Murray) who are really good guys but we have the same if not better skill set it’s just in different areas for each person.”
With the talented running backs, if this offensive line can be better than a season ago, this running attack could be the best in the nation. That would also help them close some games they were unable to last season.
