Oklahoma (3-2) enters the game riding a losing Predators Blank Men Jersey skid in Brent Venables first year as a head coach. Unlike last weeks reserved pre s conference coming off the Kansas State lo s, Venables was energetic and had more of the fire hes become known for throughout his career while fielding questions from the local media. But the fact remains that the Sooners have plenty to fix, while the status for a number of key players remains up in the air. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel is in concu sion protocol, and key starters like safety Billy Bowman, right tackle Wanya Morris and wide receiver Theo Wease all exited the TCU game after appearing to be banged up. Venables said it was too early to offer any updates on those players straight from the top of his pre s conference. There's some injury situations going on right now that are still up in the air, said Venables, and I'm really not going to talk about any of those right now until I have clarity and I'm 100 percent sure on who's going to be available and who's not. Today is not that day for that.Regardle s of who takes the field on Saturday, the Sooners will need improved performances acro s the board to reel off their fifth straight win over the Longhorns (3-2).Preparation Remains Unchanged, Even For TexasThe way things have gone the past couple of weeks in Norman, the Sooners could probably use an emotional win over the Horns. And while Venables himself led the pre s conference by expre sing his excitement for getting to once again (his 14th) be on the sideline in the Cotton Bowl, he was steadfast that the preparation this week wont be different than for any other team.I know the emotion, the intensity and what this game has meant to so many Cody McLeod Kids Jersey people, he said. But we shouldn't prepare for this game any different than we do any other game. And if we are and I allow that then I'm not doing a good job leading. We shouldn't do extra this week or be more committed this week. We should be habitual in how we get ready to play. And so that's my focus, is to make sure that the emotion doesn't paralyze you, you know, so that you can't have an intense focus about what we need to do to win and what you need to do individually to play well.That doesnt mean the Sooners arent working hard to beat Texas. After giving up 55 points and 668 yards total offense to the Horned Frogs, Venables stre sed there was a great urgency to take ma sive strides forward as a defense. But that attitude doesnt reflect what Oklahoma has on the horizon, just how Venables hopes his program can operate week-to-week. This is about Oklahoma and what we need to do to improve, Venables said. We should always play with pa sion and a love for Dan Hamhuis Kids Jersey the game. And you get 12 guaranteed opportunities. And so we've got seven more games. And this is the biggest game of the year because it's the next one. So hopefully we're not more excited to play this one than somebody else. That's a wrong state of mind in my opinion.Handling FailureScroll to ContinueThrough the first three weeks, the Oklahoma defense had to learn how to continue to stay motivated despite plenty of succe s. Now, Venables defense is going to have to find a way to peel themselves off the mat after a pair of dreadful showings. The coaching staff has to be mindful of how they correct the mistakes, Venables said, balancing making the adjustments nece sary while still instilling the unit with confidence. Continue to show belief in people, he said. Its getting the best out of them. Its still correcting them and holding them accountable and being tough and demanding. But to continue to give them hope. I think its important that you do a good job of showing them all the good plays theyve made that align with, again, Heres the mistake. Hey, guys, it wasnt just a 4-yard gain, its a touchdown. What can we do to prevent that? To keep the defense from second gue sing themselves, the group has to have faith in what they are doing to read and react to the play in front of them. Defense is trained Dan Hamhuis Women Jersey reaction, Venables said. Guys have got to feel not only confident in what theyre doing, but I think the maturation is, when they really understand what the guys around them are doing, their game goes to another level. Both in their consistency, aggre sivene s, precision. Were not there, where we need to be yet, consistently. Were working hard on it and you just go back to practice. Theres no other way to get yourself out of a bad spot. But you gotta have the right mindset. And we gotta do a great job as coaches and leaders to help those guys in that way.Quarterback Questions Wont Change Game PlanBoth teams enter the Cotton Bowl with mystery surrounding who will start at quarterback. Quinn Ewers reportedly is nearing his return for the Longhorns, and OU is waiting to see if Gabriel will clear concu sion protocol. Still, Venables doesnt think there will be widespread changes to Alexander Campbell Jersey the offensive game plans in Dallas. My gue s is that it wont affect either side, Venables said. I know it wont for us. Theyre gonna run their system. They have tremendous football players and quarterbacks that have played really well. We havent seen anything dramatically different from them.The Sooners will still have to deal with running back Bijan Robinson and wide receiver Xavier Worthy no matter who is taking the snaps for the Longhorns, and the key to an OU victory will be getting Marvin Mims the football in space as many times as po sible. Schematically, teams lean on what they do. Both offenses lean on what they do, Venables said. Its up to the quarterback to execute what they want to do, whether its hand the ball off or in the throw game. All the quarterbacks can do the same things out of those sets.The 118th edition of the Red River Rivalry kicks off at 11 a.m. Saturday, and the game will be broadcast on ABC. | |
