Oklahoma's Run Game Crisis | Oklahoma Sooners Football News

Oklahoma’s offense imploded against Michigan, scoring just ten points and getting shut down in the first half—blame falls squarely on OC Ben Arbuckle, who admits the staff needs to review film and fix what went wrong. Despite early success with running backs like Lloyd Avant averaging over six yards per carry, the team only ran 29 times for 100 yards, with Avant getting just four touches in the second half. Quarterback John Mateer even carried the ball 13 times. Coach Brent Venables stressed the need to establish the run and stick with it—a timeless strategy that’s proven effective in the NFL’s toughest games. Arbuckle agrees: running the ball is key to winning, and the offense must adapt to defenses while always putting itself in the best position to succeed.
