We had a fun argument in our most podcast episode, we were discussing Oklahoma’s season opener and potential weaknesses for Sooner offense. Caleb brought up Oklahoma’s loss in the Alamo Bowl against Arizona, but maybe not in a way you’d imagine. Despite gaining over 500 yards of total offense, the Sooners were plagued by six turnovers, which ultimately led to their defeat. His take is that the turnover issues were on new offensive coordinator Seth Littrell.
That take led to a vibrant, but fun discussion as to whether or not the Sooners’ offensive struggles in that game can be attributed to the play-calling of Littrell. Caleb argues that Littrell’s play-calling may have put then freshman quarterback Jackson Arnold in a bad spot. Matt defends Littrell, pointing out that the Sooners’ turnovers were the result of the players and not the plays being called.
Ultimately, the question of whether or not Littrell’s play-calling was a factor in the Sooners’ mass of turnovers may be a topic of debate for a while, but we’d love to have your take on it. While it is clear that the turnovers were a major issue for the team, and they will need to improve in this area if they want to be successful in 2024, we’re just seeing it from two different perspectives. Give the clip a listen and then give us yours.
