The Sooners' head coach is confident that college football players will soon have five years of eligibility to work with instead of worrying about the four-game redshirt rule.

The Sooners head coach had spent 10 years as Clemson defensive coordinator and faced South Carolina, the Tigers’ top rival, several times at Williams-Brice Stadium. So, he knew he would be seeing a rowdy student section with white towels that would be waving and knew he would be hearing the song “Sandstorm” that would be playing.

Oklahoma's Brent Venables had effusive praise for the way John Mateer and Ben Arbuckle handled the Texas loss.

The Oklahoma Sooners improved to 6-1 on the season and 2-1 in SEC play with their 26-7 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks. It was another strong performance for the defense, and the Sooners ' offense put together four scoring drives and were perfect in the red zone, scoring three touchdowns.

In their huge win over the South Carolina Gamecocks on the road, the Oklahoma Sooners looked like the team we all knew they could be. There is so much positive to take away from the game, including a positive injury update from Brent Venables on Gentry Williams.

Back in the win column, OU football is on to Ole Miss. The Sooners appeared to fix some of their offensive issues and continued their defensive dominance.
