The offense did not capitalize. On this episode of OUInsider LIVE, Brandon Drumm and Travis Davidson take a hard look at John Mateer’s missed throws and reads, Ben Arbuckle’s approach, the heated debate over OU’s running-game usage and whether the program’s personnel spending favors the defense too heavily. They also discuss why Elijah Thomas must become a larger part of the passing game, what Jonathan Hatton and Tory Blaylock could provide at running back, what Oklahoma must show against New Mexico and why even a dominant performance Saturday will not answer every question before the trip to Georgia.

Oklahoma blew a major opportunity in a 17–10 loss at Michigan, and the Sooners now face serious questions about an offense that managed only 10 points. Brandon Drumm and Travis Davidson examine John Mateer’s uneven performance, Ben Arbuckle’s play-calling, OU’s lack of patience with the running game and the disappearance of the under-center and heavy-personnel looks that worked in Week 1. They also discuss Oklahoma’s impressive defensive effort, the potentially significant loss of captain Kip Lewis, concerns along the offensive line and bright spots such as Rocky Beers, Reggie Powers III and Taylor Wein. With Georgia and Texas looming, can this loss force the changes Oklahoma needs before its season reaches a crossroads?
