The Sooners have struggled offensively, scoring only 37 points in their last three games and failing to gain 300 yards in any of those matches. Head coach Brent Venables described the line's performance as 'incredibly inconsistent and very disappointing' and indicated the difficulties are compounded by frequent player changes and injuries.
