SoonerScoop postgame podcast: Should OU fans feel better? Or worse?
OU takes one step forward and two steps back. It feels like that has been the story of the last month. Happened again at Ole Miss.
The offense looked good in the first half, had nice rhythm. Then the bottom fell out, and the offensive line crumbled in the second half.
Add it all up, and it’s a 26-14 defeat. A third loss in a row and dropping OU to .500 this season at 4-4 overall.
It’s not all bad, like seeing what quarterback Jackson Arnold could do as the starter again. But when it’s bad? It’s downright ugly.

Murdock summary:
The Sooners headed to Ole Miss down a 20-point underdog. No one expected the Sooners to bring home a win, but they entered halftime with a 14-10 lead after Jackson Arnold and the OU offense put together a couple of methodical drives and the defense turned back the Rebels time and time again.
But the second half was a different story. An offensive line that played their best half since starting SEC play, fell apart. They collapsed. And OU’s chances at winning went with it. A couple of busts in the OU defensive secondary helped Jaxon Dart and the Ole Miss offense take the lead. And Jackson Arnold ended up being sacked 10 times on the day. All of this coming on the heels of Joe Jon Finley taking over as the offensive playcaller after Seth Littrell was fired following the loss to South Carolina. There were positives. There were negatives. And the Sooners now must move forward wondering if this thing is ever going to look like something heading in the right direction.
