Brent Venables may want this statement back.
In 2021, Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables signed a six-year deal with the Sooners worth $34.2 million. It was worth it on both sides.
It always feels good for Oklahoma to beat Texas, but especially so this year as the team was coming off a 6-7 season in 2022 and getting embarrassed 49-0 in this game. The Sooners not only won 34-30, but they did it with quarterback Dillon Gabriel driving down the field in the final minute and scoring the winning touchdown with 15 seconds left.
After the game, Sooners head coach Brent Venables made a pause-worthy admission when speaking to reporters.
“I’ve been on my knees plenty in this profession.”
The players next to him could hardly contain their laughter as they looked around.

This was Oklahoma’s day to show what might be possible under Venables just as long as he can watch the things he says.
Gabriel completed 23 of 38 passes for 285 yards and ran 14 times for 113 yards and a score.
On the other side, Quinn Ewers completed 31 of 37 passes for 346 yards.
