“ What is wrong with Oklahoma Football”

I think that given that OK had been well known for some high profile transfers in, and their coach left in a huge move. And the portal nationwide exploded around that time. I don't think it should be surprising that a good number of their top recruits have come and gone. For him to draw deep meaning into that and try to assign blame given Venables coming. Riley going, and COVID and life in the portal those years I think is just trekking down the wrong path.

USC had a ton of kids leave. TONS. They did not have the HS class lined up OK did. And OK still hung onto most of those great kids. Think they ended up ranked about 8. Point being, USC lost a lot of guys, brought in a lot of guys. OK could have done the same.

I think the biggest difference is OK lost Williams AND Rattler, and that didn't leave much. They got the UCF QB and well, they learned why he was at UCF to begin with. Some guys don't transfer their skills to the big stage Not everyone is a Junior Penis.

The biggest problem with Oklahoma football is that it's in Oklahoma. Bumfawk doesn't work anymore in college football. It's no more complicated than that. sc
