Was a scrub. Should've been let go after 2022 and Jackson Arnold in since we're not in a National Championship window. That full year of experience is more important than sitting on the bench. DG was so limited and we saw that our ceiling was always 10-2 with him.

I can’t remember having so much depth. Our two deep are all starters. We even have a three deep that would start most places. Unbelievable. BV is a genius.

I truly believe what DG mom said. I feel like he is just that type of dude who puts others first.

Gabriel is definitely in the same echelon as Landry Jones. Both program guys that were a benefit to the team if not superstars.

what you said about O-Line. I trust coach B to get those guys ready. They are hungry, and want to show what they can do. They hear all the doubts, so it will be in their minds to prove themselves, and hopefully pay attention to detail.

The 3 guys from the portal could or should start. Plus, Sexton is a starter. So, if anyone steps up or a True Freshman we will have a solid line.

If that’s a true story I have much respect for Gabriel. Even if it wasn’t I do. But I would have even more respect now.

If we went in with a real 2 year starter at QB I would feel more comfortable. Still we will see what happens.

To be fair, this was done during media days, it is all for a print magazine, so this information is dated before we get it.

The first law of the offensive line is recruiting and Bedenbaugh has recruited well. The second law of the offensive line is linemen drills which is what Bedenbaugh will drill you into the ground, and the third law of the offensive line is the weight room and attitude. Offensive linemen must be powerful in terms of strength and play nasty, angrily, and with physicality. If you want to evaluate how important Dillon Gabriel was as a transitional piece, look at the 2022 Texas game. The kid was worth his weight in gold, I appreciate his service to my Oklahoma Sooner. We must move on to our immediate future and Gabriel must secure his future.

The o-line is going to be just fine, their going to take everything that’s being said about them and use that as fuel to fight and make a name for himself

Most returning talent on D in all the SEC baby best D in decades n I'm loving being a D first team again we've always been at our best when we have a top tier D

Smart move for Dillon, I just hope we don't have to play against him in the expanded playoffs.

Oklahoma being in the SEC will only improve the brand.

No hard feelings toward Dillion. Don’t blame him. They are putting all their hopes on a guy that has proven absolutely nothing. Oregon will be fun to watch. I hope that Jackson will pan to be everything he’s supposed to be.

@@LockedOnSooners New coordinators, first year QB in the SEC, default adjustment period, lets be real OU wasnt doing great against the SEC the last 10 years and that was with elite teams just playing 1 or 2 SEC games. 1 or 2 is alot different than an entire SEC schedule. I feel like Arnold is really gonna struggle to begin the year. But as far as the game against OM, OM is just the better program RN. Better staff, better roster at every position, home game, etc....If y'all still had Dillon I wouldnt be this confident.

My opinion is that we will hide our OL by short passes to replace the run. Then when team crowd the line of scrimmage to stop the short passes. Max protection and throw for a touchdown. Our defense should average 20 points per game. 3-4 td and we win in the mighty sec. Everything will rest on our young QB ability to scramble and hit the long pass.

Parents let your kids start off as wrestlers.

No way did Gabriel leave because “he wanted what was best for the program”. The only reasons for transferring are: wasn’t likely to start, more money, better opportunity to win, disagreement with coaching, moving closer to home, conflict with teammates in the locker room, and/or off-field issues (girlfriend, classes, grades, etc.). I know some of these probably don’t apply to Gabriel, but others surely do, no matter how much honey is dripped to the media.

You can't spell "douche" without OU. 😂

OU gonna struggle being consistent on offense woth the O line Tennessee has a great d line and are probably gonna have their way with this o line it may get ugly with coach H wanting to beat up on this team

Talking about this team and what they should or shouldbt be is pointless. When you look at the schedule, they are an 8 win team at best and a 6 win team at worst.

I think this team will be good but naming a bunch of names does not make the offense line good. Defense will be. If you're being realisting this team is 4-4 in conference. Ranked in top 25.

So excited about the upcoming season. The narrative is Oklahoma is an unknown, I think that's a great story going into the season. The OL is going to be fine, they will be motivated by the lack of respect.

BV is right, its a privilege to play at Oklahoma. We don’t want 5 stars that are not appreciated of Oklahoma. We can win with less. We are family and if that isn’t important to the player then we don’t want them.

Athlon always asks coaches what they think of the other schools under anonymity. The SEC is many things, but quiet isn't one of them.

OU sucks? I thought that was what most believe. The last time OU won the Big XII, the new freshman were in Middle School. Venables is an average coach, but a nice man.

You're welcome to be sick of it, but it doesn't mean we aren't going to continue dominating everyone else. Also of note, Texas is an SEC team, so 4 of the top 20 rush defenses are SEC, or literally 20% of the best belong to this one conference. And that's playing against other SEC teams, unlike James Madison's schedule.
