One thing Brent Venables is gonna have is a nasty D-Line

Oklahoma’s d-line has dubbed itself “The Dog Pound,” a name inspired by the BossMan Dlow song “Game Winner” — which samples former Coast Carolina coach David Bennett’s viral 2011 press conference moment.

Javonnie Gibson was academically ineligible at a D-II Arkansas-Monticello in 2022, so he worked as a scout team DE.

“No matter where we put him at, he was always a problem.”

He became an FCS All-American and coveted transfer. Now after a broken leg, he’s ready to prove himself again at Oklahoma.

After missing the first four games of the season, Eli Bowen is back in action for Oklahoma and ready for this weekend's Texas game -- and the standout cornerback wants to make the Red River Shootout all about the Sooners' defense.

"We're trying to change the narrative, make it defense-oriented.”

Javonnie Gibson made his Oklahoma debut last week, six months after breaking his leg.

His path was the road less traveled, from D2 scout team to FCS All-American. His determination led him to OU, the SEC and Saturday’s Red River Rivalry.

“The path he took — a lot of kids don't make it out of that”

Great read here from Chris going behind the curtains of Oklahoma’s endeavor to overhaul its football infrastructure in support of Brent Venables.

✍️ Inside Oklahoma's offseason overhaul.

Millions on an OC/QB duo. A new scouting department. A streamlined NIL.

Despite two losing seasons, OU didn't give up on Brent Venables.

"Not giving him more resources would’ve been dooming him to failure."

How Oklahoma spent big to overhaul a blue blood and double down on Brent Venables

Tradition-rich Oklahoma had to modernize. So far, it’s working. In a state whose identity is wrapped around Sooners football, it has to.
