Brent Venables blasts Oklahoma's offensive line woes before Red River Rivalry vs. Texas

Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables criticized the development of his program’s offensive line ahead of Saturday’s high-stakes Red River Rivalry against No. 1 Texas.

The Sooners, ranked last in the SEC in total offense, have struggled with consistency at the position, averaging just 2.9 yards per carry and ranking near the bottom nationally in both pass and run blocking grades. Venables acknowledged the instability caused by frequent transfers through the portal, calling the turnover rate ‘uneven’ and emphasizing the need for continuity under offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh, who remains in place despite the challenges.

The issues trace back to Venables’ tenure, with the line group failing to improve despite expectations and a pipeline disrupted by the end of the Lincoln Riley era.
