NORMAN — OU football coach Brent Venables has harped on the Southeastern Conference being a one-possession league all season.

Following the Sooners’ first conference loss of the season to Texas, Venables was asked Tuesday during his weekly press conference about the close games in the SEC this season.

“This isn’t the old Big 12 days where Oklahoma destroys everybody every single week, except for one game a year,” Venables said. “I’m not saying that in any other way than, man, every other week there’s big, long, fast, explosive dudes, great staffs, really good quarterback play and tremendous lines of scrimmage."
