“Christ the true and better Isaac, humble son of sacrifice Who would climb the fearful mountain, there to offer up his life Laid with faith upon the altar, Father’s joy and only Son There salvation was provided — oh, what full and boundless love!”

Holy smokes. Man… what happened in Week 2?

"It's like, 'All right, Coach. Put down the iPad." From Jason Witten's ultimatum to Courtland Guillory getting tired of screen time, here are the five most notable postgame quotes and storylines after the #Sooners' much-needed road win at Florida. on3.com/teams/oklahoma-soone…

I love that Beamer, in addition to being a rock solid ball coach, has some of the best physical comedy in the sport. He’s hilarious.

In a refreshing break from the season-long norm of force-feeding Isaiah Sategna and Rocky Beers, the #Sooners had five players record at least three receptions Saturday night. Mateer: “I think it’s a better way to play ball, and I’m glad we could do it.” on3.com/teams/oklahoma-soone…

Thank you for your input Fat Bastard

A lot of salacious rumors get thrown around whenever somebody gets fired. It really is as simple as this: the offense wasn’t getting the job done, and the buck stops with the OC. Venables and Witten both going out of their way to vouch for Arbuckle’s character speaks to that.

Still have yet to hit a few spots in that top 10, so I don’t want to speak out of turn. But what I will say is that as an OG Tucker’s Truther, I am THRILLED to see Tucker’s getting the respect it deserves. That is an absolutely elite burger.

It should be noted that Jason Witten and Ben Arbuckle are close. The two had forged a friendship and spent a good deal of time together. The fact that Witten’s promotion came as a by-product of Arbuckle’s firing wasn’t an easy thing for all involved. The #Sooners needed a change and Brent Venables made one, but Arbuckle still has plenty of respect and appreciation within that building. Here’s Witten talking about the difficulty of the circumstances this past week. “Ben’s a class act… As good of a coach as he is, he’s a better person… I hate it. I told the players in the first meeting as an offensive group, ‘Hey, look — this is not ideal.’”

Zero turnovers. 350+ yards of total offense. Balance, to the tune of 207 pass yards and 144 rush yards. Almost 38 minutes of ball control. The #Sooners' two longest drives of the season (and longest single drive in over a half-century). Pretty good debut for the new playcaller.

I don’t know that the video really does it justice. I Won’t Back Down in the Swamp was absolutely electrifying. One of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced.

"These guys have a high level of give-a-crap when it comes to being an Oklahoma Sooner." The #Sooners' defense could have gone in the tank after last week's debacle vs. South Carolina. Instead, the unit responded with a sensational all-around outing. on3.com/news/after-embarrass…

"I keep looking up [at the scoreboard], and I’m like, ‘This is taking forever.’ It was awesome." 20 plays. 89 yards. 12:45 of clock time. With one memorable, methodical possession, the #Sooners broke Florida's will and emptied Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. on3.com/teams/oklahoma-soone…
