Top-5 questions for the Oklahoma Sooners at SEC media day
By Brandon Self
2. "Which position group are you the most concerned about and why?"
If you had to pick one, Oklahoma's offensive line is perhaps their 'weakest link.' The entire line is new, and they're a mix of transfers. With returning veteran center Troy Everett injured, SMU transfer Branson Hickman fills his spot.
Guards Febechi Nwaiwu and Jacob Sexton are projected to start in the middle of the line. Tackles Jake Taylor and Michael Tarquin look to round out the outside of the line.
With these transfers and their inexperience, is Brent as concerned with the offensive line as the rest of Sooner Nation? I know coach Bedenbaugh has built his future Hall of Fame career by building excellent offensive lines, but can he make one good enough to compete in the SEC this year?
The offensive line doesn't need to be a Joe Moore award-caliber line; they just need to be able to protect Jackson Arnold enough to give him time to let his arm talent shine.
Luckily for the Sooners, they're pretty solid in every position group other than their offensive line. The Sooners' defensive backs, linebackers, and wide receivers are among some of the best in the nation.
