On the postgame, Toby just said that JA's yardage was the second highest for a first start in OU history, only behind Baker Mayfield's against Akron.
OU lost bedlam and the bowl.
I'm happy

OL was gassed in the 4th, so the holding penalties came out.
Seth calling plays, on Lebby's offense, with a patchwork O-line put up 563 yds. Something to be positive about.
We were still in it with 5 turnovers.

OU put up 562 yards on the #14 team with a QB on his very first game and with a patchwork O line with one regular starter.
JA is gonna be good! Can’t wait for next year!
Non playoff bowl games suck to watch now. Too many people don’t play thanks to the portal. But NCAA pretty much brought that mess upon themselves.
Oh, and az turnover sword thing…. While kind of cool, only a matter of time until that thing hurts someone. Let one player hold a ball while someone else stabs it…what could go wrong…
Bowl loss is not a huge deal, especially against a very good AZ team, but this Arnold kid definitely has a future. After watching him throw, I now understand why 100% of the nationwide recruiting analysts love his downstream potential. The usual freshman first-game brain farts and inexperience aside, Arnold demonstrated an absolute cannon for an arm, and the quickest snap release I think I've ever seen in a college level quarterback. He just needs reps/experience, and to learn to temper down the hypervelocity of some of his mid and short range passes so receivers can catch them without ricocheting the ball all over the place. As a Sooner TV watcher since Bud Wilkinson's loss to Notre Dame, Arnold might have the best NFL future upside I've ever seen at this position, even better than Caleb Williams. If Venables can field a decent defense, OU should be very competitive in the SEC after a year or two of learning to play big boy football.
Congrats to OSU on their comeback win (albeit over a Texas A&M team that was without a QB and 31 other regular players). Now that the two biggest frogs have left their pond, the Cowboy fans should finally have at least a chance at being a regular conference championship contender. But it's starting to look like K State and Kansas might have something to say about that.

Just imagine how much better Jackson Arnold will be with more snaps and a solid OLine.
OU played like crap last night plain and simple, embarrassing loss.
Hearing a lot of excuses for the L. Not like OU’s the only team in FBS that regular season players not playing in their bowl games.
