Why Oklahoma’s 2026 Offense Could Redefine College Football Forever
You know, it’s a little wild to think back to the 2024 Oklahoma Sooners season — offense looking more like a ghost town than a powerhouse, the worst since ’98, before Bob Stoops even set foot on the sideline. With a rotating cast of co-offensive coordinators and quarterbacks trying to find their groove, the result was a less-than-stellar 6-7 finish. Head coach Brent Venables wasn’t standing still though; he pulled the trigger on some big changes, bringing in Ben Arbuckle and his starting QB John Mateer from Washington State to breathe new life into the offense. It’s been a bit of a slow burn — better in 2025 but still playing catch-up to a defense that’s stepped up big time. Now, as 2026 approaches, both Arbuckle and Mateer are back for round two, and there’s an electric buzz around Norman — everyone’s hoping this year’s offense can finally take that leap forward and make the Sooners a true contender again. John Mateer even opened up about the growing chemistry and higher football IQ on the offensive side, signaling that this could be the season where Oklahoma’s offense stops dragging its feet and starts firing on all cylinders. If that happens, combined with Venables’ rock-solid defense, OU could be looking at a much brighter, more explosive future on the gridiron. LEARN MORE
