Oklahoma will also be returning all 11 starters on defense going into the SEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be replacing the OL, but those guys didn't transfer out besides Cayden Green. 3 of them will be NFL draft picks and 1 will probably be a UDFA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got nuthin. Entire team quit. Gonna have to scour the student section just for warm bodies. Our five-star QB is garbage. Our coaching staff sucks. Gonna be 0-11 in the mighty mighty S-E-C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think we have a chance to have the best defense in the conference IF the DL can continue to progress. We will be loaded at LB and Safety. The Corners just need some health luck. We had a lot of injuries in that group this past year. We also have one of the most difficult schedules in the conference too. We play Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Missouri who will finish at top 10 teams this year. We also have to go to LSU and Auburn too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no illusions that we're just gonna walk in Day 1 and start wrecking shop. Remember: this is only Year 2 of a near-complete rebuild of the program. We're walking in there with a patchwork o-line and a green QB. A new offensive coordinator. A new defensive coordinator. Etc. and etc. and blah blah blah. I still expect to be competitive though. I won't accept just rolling over against Alabama and Georgia and the like. These programs are not gods. They are beatable. Not saying we're ready right now, but we have no excuse to not compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what we think OL recruiting should look like sometimes is antiquated with the transfer portal. OL is the hardest position to project, but you don't have to project guys out of the portal. They have real film already of what they can do. I think every serious program will take transfer portal OL every year regardless of their HS recruiting.

Lost all 5 starters and just hired a FCS defensive coordinator? Ok. Man this is a recipe for a dumpster fire. You have a 2nd year HC that is over his head and you are about to run the SEC gauntlet. Can’t wait to see how this plays out for your Sooners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sark year 2: 8-5 with an Alamo Bowl loss.  BV year 2: 10-3 with an Alamo Bowl loss.  I will say you probably have some expertise on what a dumpster fire looks like from being a Texas fan the past decade, and Texas definitely has the easier conference schedule next year to help them stay afloat while losing all of their playmakers and defensive line guys. Edited January 7 by Valhalla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
