One day after OU fired offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, the media finally got to hear what Brent Venables had to say about the change...kind of. While he didn't want to go into great detail about the decision, it is clear that Venables has his eyes on the future. What does that mean for John Mateer? It sounds like nothing is out of the question. Jason Witten impressed greatly, enough to earn the opportunity as the interim offensive coordinator. Is it an audition for Witten? Maybe. Maybe not. The defense is coming off of its worst performance of the season against South Carolina. Can they bounce back in the Swamp? All that and more on this edition of the Practice Report.
