I’m most excited about Coach Arbuckles ability/willingness to adapt his offense to his players strengths. I think his background as a QB will only help OUs QB1 next season.
First time viewing one of your vids. Sooner fan here! I hope we get Mateer in the portal. He reminds me of Baker Mayfield! Great job by yourself, I will look for more of your vids in the future!
Wow I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching and we will have more OU QB related content in the future! Would love to see y'all get Mateer as well!
Opening up the offense will be big…..but I really don’t know what kind of offense OU would have had with a healthy team that was a huge part of the problem
Injuries were extreme at OU this year with all their starting four and five star receivers, their offensive linemen, a few defensive players, a couple of running backs and their tight end hurt. However, Arnold was not hurt and OU still had Hester an experienced receiver who runs a 4.4, Brennan Thompson who runs a 4.3 and Jaques Pettiway a 4 star speedster, and some other 4 star freshmen receivers. Oklahoma simply refused to throw the football as a purposeful strategy. They did it to themselves. We all watched the games. Almost every pass play, Oklahoma had people open and both Arnold and Hawkins would not throw the football. That means it was coached into both players not to throw the football. Oklahoma chose to lose deliberately rather than throw the football, this despite the stats showing that they would have completed almost 2/3 of those passes and thrown for 4 times more TDs than interceptions. With those stats I would have thrown it 30 plus times per game and taken shots down field. That is me. That however is not what occurred. And this is why Oklahoma lost six games, that along with 14 fumbles, 12 of which I believe occurred in those losses. The football gods dictated that the Sooners lose six games this year and Oklahoma obliged them. Somewhere in a parallel universe, Oklahoma threw the ball downfield, scored many more touchdowns and, with that defense, they won a national championship.
It makes me hopeful to think we have an offensive mind that can scheme receivers open again. Hopefully the receiver room is injury free next year and maybe Mateer is in the crimson and cream throwing the ball downfield to Nic Anderson.
Oklahoma hasn’t had a good qb coach since Grundy resigned. Gabriel was seasoned when he got here. Its sounds like arbuckle is very good at this. Throwing guys open, when and how the back shoulder, how to throw safely without interceptions and design plays for easy completions. I miss Gundy, he had multiple OC’s but qb always got better. One year we won the b12 with a wide out convert to QB.
You talking about Paul Thompson? He converted from QB to WR after Rhett Bomar beat him for the job in 2005 then moved back to QB after Bomar was kicked off the team prior to the 2006 season. He was a decent receiver in 05 and as QB took us to the Fiesta Bowl in 06.
@@tjedwards1870 Great insight, I was young, but I do remember that.. Why was Bomar kicked off team? Didn't he go finish at Sam Houston State if I'm not mistaken?
@@qbspotlight2336 He was making money from a car dealership. When it became public Stoops kicked him off the team. Basically an NIL deal before it was legal.
@@BobcatWabbit Thanks for watching! Yes, agreed.. I still Arnold is a talented QB that could turn out really good, but definitely was not developed last year
@@qbspotlight2336 He needs an actual QB coach, Seth Litrell had no business being the QB coach. JA was wasted at OU, hopefully he'll find success where ever he ends up.
What are you most excited about for Arbuckle's offense?
We won't be running the ball straight up the middle even when it fails or running jet sweeps that don't work.
@@c-manthebarbarian2105 Thanks for watching! I really think Arbuckle has a creative offense

@@terrytabor4466 Totally agree with your point! Thanks for watching!
WRs getting open and QBs finding them - Kinda where we are at as a fanbase

Great points, I appreciate it! And Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
If mateer has the same numbers at Ou he wins the heisman
That would be a successful season for OU if so!
He reminds me of a mix between Baker and Jalen Hurts.
Thanks for watching! Will be fun to see the offense next year
If you don't mind me asking, where do you get figures on stats against blitz, completions over 20, etc?
Thanks for watching! PFF! But I am sure there are other sites out there as well
I want to see the run game
It makes me hopeful to think we have an offensive mind that can scheme receivers open again. Hopefully the receiver room is injury free next year and maybe Mateer is in the crimson and cream throwing the ball downfield to Nic Anderson.
Will be interesting to see where Mateer goes!

@@tjedwards1870 Ah that's right! I recall now, thank you for that! And thanks for watching again!
So far I see he will go under center and run jumbo personnel, and also spread it out, he seems to adapt and overcome. We did not do that this year.
Totally agree about Arbuckle adapting.. and you are right about that not happening this year.
Thanks for watching!
Mateer's throwing mechanics are a little odd looking, but he can throw for sure.
Fun to watch!
Not the 31 sacks!
Arnold would not throw the ball and would take sack after sacks
