Oklahoma offensive line faces scrutiny before Texas matchup
Summary

Oklahoma's offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh is under fire as the team prepares for its game against Texas in Dallas on Saturday. 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. Several offensive linemen, including left tackle Michael Fasusi, have missed games due to injuries, contributing to lineup instability. Venables emphasized the need for continuity and development within the unit to improve future performance.
