Quarterback Analysis: Discussing Michael Hawkins, a freshman quarterback who shows potential with deep throws and running ability but lacks experience. He’s compared to Jalen Milroe.
Offensive Line Struggles: Only left tackle Michael Tarquin is performing at a consistent level. The rest of the offensive line, though improving, still faces challenges, especially with reliance on transfers.
Wide Receiver Issues: The wide receiver group is struggling due to injuries and lack of depth. Players like Brenen Thompson are talented but are being misused on the outside.
Running Back Situation: True freshman Taylor Tatum has been the most explosive player in the limited carries he’s had. Jovantae Barnes has been solid but not exceptional.

Defense Strengths: The defense’s strength lies in its safety and linebacker units, particularly Billy Bowman and Danny Stutsman, who have been effective at stopping offenses.
Defense Weaknesses: The corners and nickels are more vulnerable. Injuries to key players have forced Oklahoma to shuffle its defense, which might expose them in key matchups.
