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.

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.
