Bob Stoops reacts to Oklahoma’s awful start, QB change against South Carolina

Bob Stoops coached a lot of big games and won a lot of big games at Oklahoma. That’s why they called him “Big Game Bob” in Norman, although some used the nickname sarcastically when Stoops wasn’t in a big game.

Anyway, on Saturday afternoon in Norman, Stoops was part of the Sooners’ radio broadcast for OU’s SEC battle with South Carolina. Needless to say, it didn’t go well as Oklahoma trailed 32-3 at halftime. The big problem (among many) for the Sooners in the 1st half was at quarterback, where freshman Michael Hawkins Jr. turned the ball over on each of Oklahoma’s first 3 possessions and was dropped in favor of sophomore Jackson Arnold.

Things quickly got out of hand for the Sooners, who were trying to bounce back from last week’s embarrassing loss to Texas in the Red River Rivalry. Well, there was no recovery for OU and there was no end to criticism from Sooners fans, and that included Stoops on the Oklahoma radio broadcast.

“This is unbelievable,” Stoops said.

And what about that QB change, coach?

“I’m all for it,” he said.

Bob Stoops is currently at a loss for words on the radio show.

“This is amazing.”

The QB change?

“I’m all for it.”

With Oklahoma in the middle of Saturday’s fiasco in Norman, that means Stoops had another half and then some to tell radio listeners what he really thought about the state of affairs at quarterback and in general with the Sooners football.
