Ben Arbuckle addresses Oklahoma's offensive struggles against Michigan

Oklahoma offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle addressed the team’s performance following a 10-point offensive showing against Michigan. During a weekly press conference, Arbuckle expressed frustration with the game's outcome and took personal accountability for the coaching mistakes.

A primary point of discussion was the lack of involvement for the running backs. Despite an offseason focus on a revamped run game, the Sooners' rushing unit recorded only 13 total carries between Lloyd Avant, Xavier Robinson, and Tory Blaylock. In contrast, quarterback John Mateer carried the ball 13 times, and receiver Isaiah Sategna received three carries. Arbuckle noted that the team's scheme and defensive looks influenced the decision to rely on passing plays and quick perimeter passes rather than establishing a consistent run.
