I was about to point out the same thing, Hombre! And that coach from the frozen nordland is just hitting his stride! You’ll notice TCU wasn’t either.
9-3 sounds about right for OU. I would accept that in Venables’ 2nd year of rebuilding. they have some pretty big potential but it’ll require a lot of injury luck. They’re not deep enough. The first year in the SEC (2024) they will be though.
