Michael Fasusi talks biggest change Jason Witten made to the offense
The Oklahoma Sooners are coming off one of their better offensive games of the season against the Florida Gators . The numbers aren't staggering, as Oklahoma totaled 351 yards of total offense, including 207 in the air and 144 on the ground. But anyone who has watched Oklahoma this season could tell there was something different about the unit in Gainesville. Interim offensive coordinator Jason Witten gets the bulk of the credit. He replaced offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle as play caller after Arbuckle was fired earlier in the week. Oklahoma star left tackle Michael Fasusi praised the mindset Witten instilled in the offense. "There's no special scheme or magic play; it just comes down to us executing the plays for real," Fasusi said via SoonerScoop . "I've just got to give a lot of credit to Coach Witten for just his knowledge of the game. The mindset that he has and just the mindset that he continues to instill in us to just literally go out there and just play ball. Don't think, just play." That simpler approach could be exactly what Oklahoma needed after an offense that too often looked hesitant and out of sync. Rather than overcomplicating things,

Where does OU land in latest bowl projections from USA TODAY Sports?
The Oklahoma Sooners entered the 2026 season hoping to return to the College Football Playoff and improve on last year's result. Instead, OU had four losses entering the month of November , and those expectations went down the drain. Now, head coach Brent Venables and his team are focusing on doing what it takes to make it to a bowl game this season, along with having the best finish to the season that they possibly can. The last time OU missed a bowl was in 1998, which was the final season of the John Blake era. Bob Stoops was hired to replace him, and Oklahoma has made it to bowl season for 27 straight years. After last week's win over Florida, one more win for the 2026 Sooners will extend that streak. In the SEC, the teams that qualify for the CFP are off the board for the remaining bowl selections. The Citrus Bowl picks the top SEC team that doesn't qualify for the playoff. After that, there's a pool of six bowls, with no pecking order, that will consult with the SEC and school personnel to determine where teams are scheduled. They'll try to create the best possible matchups.

Brent Venables shares an update on WR Trell Harris
The Oklahoma Sooners have been without wide receiver Trell Harris since he was injured in Week 2 against the Michigan Wolverines . Harris was hit hard while catching a pass over the middle. He finished the game, but has been out with an internal injury. It's been unclear since that injury if he would return to the field this season. That has been a big loss to the Sooner offense. Harris came to Norman after catching 59 passes for 847 yards and five scores last season. He was off to a strong start, grabbing six passes for 106 yards and a score this year. Head coach Brent Venables was asked about an update on Harris' status for the rest of the season. "I won't get into the details, but I think he'll be back in Norman, maybe by the end of next week," Venables said. "He had an infection that kind of set him back. He had to get antibiotics and things like that. Sometimes that's a by-product of some of the surgical things that you go through. His spirit is pretty good under the circumstances." While that is an encouraging update that things are going in the right direction,
