Oklahoma Sooners struggle offensively in loss to Kentucky Wildcats
Summary

The Oklahoma Sooners fell 21-13 to the No. 15 Kentucky Wildcats, continuing a trend of offensive woes. This marked the Sooners' fifth consecutive game scoring fewer than 15 points. Despite racking up nearly 350 yards of total offense, Oklahoma converted drives into field goals instead of touchdowns and committed two turnovers in Kentucky territory. Offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle emphasized the need for a mentality shift to improve red-zone performance and rebuild confidence. The Sooners look to apply this approach in their upcoming game against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.
