Oklahoma Sooners eye a dominant finish as John Mateer’s leadership and Brent Venables’ defense fuel playoff ambitions. Can Matier recapture his early-season form and ignite an offense that’s searching for a late spark? John Williams and Jay Smith break down why self-awareness and accountability in the locker room—despite nagging injuries—could be the key to Oklahoma’s postseason hopes.

Key talking points include the explosive upcoming clash against Missouri, the Sooners’ battle-tested run defense, and creative solutions for a depleted running back room, featuring ideas like Jaren Kanak in the backfield. Insightful stats, penalty analysis, and a look at defensive standouts set the stage for whether Oklahoma can outlast physical SEC foes and secure a spot in the College Football Playoff. Will the Sooners’ linebackers rise to the challenge and halt Ahmad Hardy, or does Missouri have what it takes to pull off the upset?
