The Oklahoma Sooners were absolutely throttled on their home field by the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Sooners lost by 17 that wasn't even that close. Of all the losses that the Sooners have taken under Brent Venables, and there have been a lot, this one was the worst.
Just when it looked like the offense was gaining momentum and was on the better side of the injury report, John Mateer and the Sooners offense laid another egg. And it happened on the same day that the Sooners' defense fell apart.
Oklahoma was outgained by 236 yards at halftime. A defense that was allowing just 273.7 yards per game coming into the game allowed 307 in the first half alone. They gave up 521 yards for the game, with Gamecocks quarterback LaNorris Sellers accounting
for 397 of those yards by himself.
As bad as things have been under Brent Venables, this was rock bottom. The offense still can't move the ball with any consistency, and the defense finally wore out from carrying the program for the last couple of seasons.
In the end, the Sooners are 4-4 and will struggle to get to bowl eligibility.
