Setting the OU-Auburn stage
It’s Week 5 for OU with the Sooners headed to Auburn. Miss anything from SoonerScoop during the week? Here’s a one-stop shop for a recap of the week that was from Scoop.
Stories
*Staff picks: OU at Auburn. A site divided again. All we all know? It’s going to be one heck of an interesting Saturday at Auburn. (Staff)
*The Scoop. More fallout from the week that was for OU and where the Sooners go from here? (Josh McCuistion)
*How the Murray family has helped Michael Hawkins Jr. for this moment. Kevin Murray has been there almost every step of the way with Hawkins to get him ready for what’s coming Saturday. (George Stoia)
*Trying to avoid a ‘fractured’ OU program. The defense is playing at such an elite level that it’s imperative for everybody to stay on the same page, no division or fracture. (Bob Przybylo)
*Everybody out (kidding, sort of) for OU-Auburn. The top five receivers, a crucial piece at running back. Rough week for Sooners and their availability report. (Przybylo)
*Can Jacobe Johnson really help the Sooners at wide receiver? Johnson was a star at Mustang High at receiver, hoping to bring those skills and production to OU at WR. (Stoia)
*OU gonna help Hawkins in every way possible. Whatever teammates and the staff can do to help Hawkins in his first start? That’s exactly what needs to happen. (Przybylo)
*Kendel Dolby undergoes ankle surgery. A terrible scene last weekend when Dolby dislocated his ankle and will miss the rest of the 2024 season. (Przybylo)
*Maybe a road trip is exactly what OU needs right now? A lot of questions surrounding the program, maybe the first road trip will get everybody back on track, focused on the task at hand. (Przybylo)

*OU Week 5 notes: Here comes Eli Bowen in the secondary. Best of the best as OU prepares to hit the road for the first time in the SEC. (Przybylo)
*Brent Venables, Hugh Freeze need this one badly. Two head coaches who need this one, cannot afford to go 0-2 in the SEC. But one of them will. (Andy Staples)
*Why Venables didn’t wait to name Hawkins the QB. No lingering issues, no indecision, let’s go ahead and name Hawkins the guy and see how the Sooners offense can get back on track. (Przybylo)
*Venables clears the air on Dillon Gabriel departure. Venables wanted to let the world know how everything came together with Gabriel leaving the program after the 2023 season. (Stoia)
*Teammates sound off on Hawkins. So Hawkins is the guy at quarterback this weekend, his teammates give you an idea as to what makes him special. (Przybylo)
*Mailbag. SoonerScoop readers air their grievances about the OU offense and how everything has not come together in the first four games. (Stoia)
