It was just one game, so there’s no need to panic, but the offensive line isn’t quite where it needs to be. Now, they were without starting right tackle Jake Taylor, who is expected to be back in week two against Houston and starting center Branson Hickman went down with an ankle injury. There were some good moments in the game, especially behind Febechi Nwaiwu in the running game, but it wasn’t the best night for the guys up front.
Arnold was only under pressure on 19.4% of his dropbacks last night, but he did take four sacks.
Oklahoma’s offensive line struggled to get much going consistently on the ground. Yes, they ran for over 200 yards, but 76 of that came on the final drive of the game with Michael Hawkins at quarterback and Taylor Tatum at running back.
In the first quarter, the Sooners ran for just 3.6 yards per carry and 4.1 yards per carry in the first half.
