After Brent Venables Blunder, Sooners DB Comes Under Fire for Controversial Statement

The Big 12 emphasized Venables' 10-8 conference record in two seasons to counter his comments on SEC's competitiveness and Oklahoma's adjustment to the tougher league.

  • On Tuesday, Oklahoma Sooners head coach Brent Venables compared SEC toughness to the Big 12 during his press conference, and the Big 12 Conference official X account fired back with a record challenge.
  • Following the loss to Texas, Venables was asked Tuesday about Oklahoma Sooners' struggles in SEC play after a 6-7 2024 season amid adjustment challenges.
  • Venables' Big 12 record shows Oklahoma went 16-10 overall with a 10-8 conference mark, including a 3-6 record in 2022, across 2022-23.
  • Social media amplified the dispute as Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin reposted Venables' comments and the Big 12 Conference social media team issued a quick public rebuttal.
  • Looking at the season arc, the Oklahoma Sooners now face a five-game stretch of ranked opponents, despite a 27-18 record under Brent Venables and a historic Big 12 run of 153-33 and 14 titles.
