Ben Arbuckle builds confidence as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator in Year 2

Ben Arbuckle enters his second season as Oklahoma's offensive coordinator with increased confidence following a challenging first year. The Sooners experienced an up-and-down performance in 2025, ranking poorly in total and scoring offense. Coach Brent Venables highlighted Arbuckle's growth and the importance of experience in facing tougher competition. As Arbuckle prepares for the upcoming season, he benefits from a returning starting quarterback, John Mateer, and a stronger roster of playmakers. Improvements in offensive reliability could help align with Venables’ defensive strategies for a national championship pursuit.
