Oklahoma Dismisses Offensive Coordinator Ben Arbuckle
In a significant shakeup, the University of Oklahoma has reportedly terminated the contract of offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, multiple sources have confirmed.
Struggles on Offense
The Sooners’ offense has struggled this season, currently ranking 111th among FBS teams with an average of 336.9 yards per game, totaling just 2,695 yards over eight games. Oklahoma has managed to score an average of only 22 points per game, including a disappointing 10 points in their matchup against Michigan and 13 points against both No. 2 Georgia and No. 8 Kentucky.
