How Oklahoma plans to take advantage of Jaydn Ott's versatility in new-look offense Oklahoma isn't just going to rely on Jaydn Ott as a traditional running back this season. New Sooners offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle plans to find ways to get the Cal transfer into space and make ...

Ben Arbuckle believes Jaydn Ott "had his way" with Washington State in 2023. While Ott ran for 167 yards in that game, it was a play from the slot that still stands out to Arbuckle -- and something Oklahoma's OC highlighted to Ott about how the Sooners plan to take advantage of his versatility.

Small gestures, quiet actions have helped John Mateer take ownership at Oklahoma Offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle's biggest challenge for quarterback John Mateer this offseason was to take ownership of Oklahoma's locker room from a leadership standpoint.

Ben Arbuckle’s biggest challenge for John Mateer this offseason? Making sure Oklahoma’s QB1 makes his new team his own.

Small gestures — cooking for injured WR Javonnie Gibson, nightly jump-rope competitions with RB Jaydn Ott, a weekend lake retreat with the OL — have gone a long way on that front.

Oklahoma running back Jaydn Ott and safety Robert Spears-Jennings make the cut this year, with some eye-opening numbers for each.

Former TCU transfer Damonic Williams is finding his voice in Year 2 at Oklahoma.

“I just now got comfortable speaking up and not being OK with just letting the little things slide, because those little things, they leak in, and they become huge things later on down the line.”

From offseason film sessions to summer competition, Oklahoma's O-line is working to make 2024 an afterthought Oklahoma's offensive line is working to put a frustrating 2024 season in the rearview mirror.

Oklahoma’s offensive line was *bad* last year. The group is deeper, more experienced and healthier now — and it was lauded by OC Ben Arbuckle for having spent more time together in the facility this summer than any other position group.

A life-changing visit to a national park in peril SFGATE columnist Drew Magary road-tripped to the national parks' ailing crown jewel.

“You’ve probably read the headlines about all of this, as I have. But do you really GET what those words mean? What they portend? Do I? How can you and I understand what these lands mean to body and soul if we don’t really know them?”

A lady sitting toward the front rows of a showing of The Iron Claw was uncontrollably and LOUDLY weeping during the final scene. Could clearly hear it from the back rows of the theater.

I mean, yes, it was sad — but man, didn’t think it warranted that strong of a reaction.

OU's defensive line confident, focused on 'taking guys' heads off' as talk of being nation's best grows Teammates -- and some in the national media -- believe Oklahoma may have the best defensive line in college football this season.

Expectations have been mounting all offseason for Oklahoma’s defensive line, with questions of whether it can be the best in the SEC and in the discussion nationally. Teammates “wholeheartedly” believe it already is.

The line itself carries a quiet confidence but knows it must deliver on Saturdays.
