Oklahoma Sooners (official thread)

Brent Venables eats freshman QBs alive, which means a 'trial by fire' for Michigan's Bryce Underwood

Venables is 21-5 against freshman QBs dating back to 2012​

Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood kicked off his collegiate career with a bang, completing 67.7% of his passes for 251 yards and one touchdown with no interceptions in a 34-17 victory over New Mexico in Week 1.

However, things are about to get significantly more difficult for the top-ranked recruit from the 2025 class, as the Wolverines face No. 18 Oklahoma on the road this Saturday.

The Sooners opened their season with a commanding 35-3 victory over Illinois State in Week 1, and the CBS Sports College Football Insiders crew identified several reasons Michigan could struggle in Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

"Venables as a play caller going up against a true freshman is going to be a very interesting watch on Saturday," Chris Hummer of CBS Sports and 247Sports said Tuesday on College Football Insiders. "Venables is one of the most creative play-callers in the country in terms of generating pressure."

Venables, in fact, is 21-5 against freshman quarterbacks (true or redshirt) dating back to the beginning of his tenure as Clemson's defensive coordinator and spanning through his current gig (18-1 at Clemson, 3-4 at Oklahoma). In those games against Venables, the freshman QBs have helmed offenses that averaged 20.2 points per game. Whether they were 18 or 19 years old, the freshman classification is a telling filter: QBs on their first run of extensive college action, with limited experience in various defensive looks, are all the same.

3-4 at Oklahoma though. You know, the place he is HC and doesn't have the opposing team's signs. Another meteor game for me.

Zach Smith was saying today (dildo) that while Matt Patricia's defense was good, it isn't notably complex or novel. He contrasted it with the mythical Venables defenses that somehow lined up in unsound formations with wild stemming and somehow always worked. What Patricia has been able to teach these kids by game one has been phenomenal, and I believe by the end of the season his defense will be significantly more advanced. Venables is just cashing in the check he "earned" by being Stalions 1.0 and not having been caught.
