Oklahoma’s Shocking Playoff Surge: Can They Defy the Odds This Season?
Some of these were very valuable yards, though, like the three Mateer got on a 4th-and-1 in the first quarter against Michigan.
The Defense Looks Like a Typical Brent Venables Outfit
Michigan five-star freshman Bryce Underwood looked like he’d never played an FBS game before. And, well, he hadn’t. But the Sooners tortured Underwood in inducing a 9-of-24 passing performance in which Underwood also contributed nothing as a runner.
The hallmark of Venables’ defenses is that pressure comes from everywhere, all at once, in ways that are hard for quarterbacks to predict. Last year, Tulane’s Darian Mensah turned in the worst game of his true freshman season against Venables’ bunch.
