Norman, Oklahoma — Offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle expressed disappointment after Oklahoma's uninspiring 14-6 victory over New Mexico. Despite feeling his offense had the best week of practice since Arbuckle joined the Sooners last season, the team's performance on Saturday fell short of expectations. The offense struggled to produce, turning in just 299 total yards and 14 points against a resilient New Mexico defense.
QB John Mateer's two touchdowns were the only bright spots, but the lack of offensive production highlighted a larger issue with the Sooners' performance. Coach Brent Venables emphasized the need for improvement, stating that the team must address their shortcomings to compete against tougher opponents. Arbuckle, under pressure, acknowledged the team's shortcomings and promised to put in the work to address the issues.
