Brad and Rob are unpacking the reality of Oklahoma’s 41–13 loss to Georgia. The Sooners fell behind 28–0 at halftime, committed four turnovers, struggled to establish any offensive rhythm, and repeatedly made life harder on themselves. Oklahoma finished with nearly as many yards as Georgia, which only makes the final result more frustrating. This episode is about the bigger picture: John Mateer, Ben Arbuckle, Brent Venables, the recurring offensive problems, and why the same questions keep resurfacing when Oklahoma faces a major test. Georgia took advantage of every mistake. Oklahoma helped turn the game into a disaster. So this one is simple. Brad and I are venting about where Oklahoma football really stands after another brutal performance on a big stage.

Can fixing the run game turn Oklahoma into a true Championship Contender?

In this episode of Champion Standard, Rob and Brad break down the biggest takeaways from spring camp — and it all comes back to one thing: the run game.

Because here’s the reality…

Oklahoma just won 10 games and made a playoff run — with a run game that actually got worse.

So what happens if they finally fix it?

We dive into:

• Why the run game regressed from 2024 to 2025
• How pass protection improvements masked deeper issues
• The “no excuses” pressure on the offensive line
• Whether OU’s offseason moves actually solve the problem
• And ultimately… if THIS is the missing piece to a national title run

This isn’t just a spring recap — this is a reality check on OU’s championship ceiling.

💬 “There is no excuse… you have to have a better run game.” 💬 “Our run game actually got worse from 24 to 25.”

If Oklahoma takes the next step… it starts in the trenches.

The Oklahoma Sooners are wrapping up spring ball, and there are real signs this team is starting to take shape.

The Storm is coming...

In this episode of Champion Standard, we’re joined by Charlie from The Football Brainiacs to break down the spring game from standout performers to areas that still need work as Oklahoma continues its transition into the SEC.

We dive into:

Who helped themselves the most this spring? Which position groups are trending up? Early impressions of the offense and defensive identity? What still needs to improve before the season?
