Oklahoma Ousts OC Amidst Offensive Struggles

Oklahoma is moving on from offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, a source confirmed on Monday. The second-year play caller is out as the Sooners grapple with disappointing offensive performance. The team's struggles are highlighted by their current average of 22 points and 336.9 yards per game, a notable drop from the previous season. This decision follows a critical 42-25 home loss to South Carolina this past Saturday. The defeat dropped Oklahoma to a 4-4 overall record and 2-3 in SEC play. The offensive unit showed significant difficulties during the game, trailing by a large margin at halftime. Fans expressed their dissatisfaction, with chants of "Fire Arbuckle" audible during the first half. Coach Brent Venables declined to comment on potential offensive staff changes immediately after the game. Quarterback John Mateer, who followed Arbuckle from Washington State, threw both of his touchdown passes late in the game.
