U40: South Carolina may determine the future of OU's offense

The Sooners are at a crossroads as South Carolina heads to town. The offense is full of mistakes and Brent Venables is finally talking about it. The future of the quarterback position may depend on Michael Hawkins Jr.'s performance against the Gamecocks. How do we see Saturday breaking down for the QBs? Brent Venables held his weekly press conference and Josh and Carey had a chance to weigh in on what was said. It wasn't all bad. The Sooners had a true freshman shine on the defensive side of the ball. And we breakdown the future of the offensive line and what things look like moving forward there. How about injured receivers.
