How Playing ‘Loose’ Can Help Oklahoma’s Offense Bounce Back Against Kansas
NORMAN — Oklahoma’s offense has plenty of pressure on it this week.

Oklahoma QB Dillon Gabriel Will Continue to be Evaluated Ahead of Kansas Contest
DALLAS — As Oklahoma turns its attention to Kansas, all eyes will be on Dillon Gabriel.

Oklahoma’s Marcus Major Says ‘No Mistakes, No Setbacks’ Ahead of Week Two
By Ross Lovelace NORMAN — Marcus Major had been waiting a long time for a performance like Saturday’s. After the long couple seasons he’s had at Oklahoma, a two-score game was the best reassurance possible. Major came to Norman as a local standout from Millwood High School in Oklahoma City. Being a hometown kid brings lofty […]
Oklahoma’s Theo Wease Mastering Ins and Outs of Hurry-Up Offense
By Ross Lovelace When Theo Wease caught his second pass near the sideline on Saturday, it looked eerily similar to his game-changing touchdown against Baylor back in 2019. Wease’s cut wasn’t enough to take it to the house this time around, but it seemed to solidify one thing: Wease is back. Wease finished the game with […]
Smoke, Shade Influenced McKade Mettauer’s and Tyler Guyton’s First Oklahoma Experience
By John E. Hoover NORMAN — Oklahoma’s offensive line had an eventful day in Saturday’s 45-13 victory over UTEP.
