Oklahoma QB Crisis Deepens Ahead of Red River Showdown
Oklahoma safety Peyton Bowen acknowledged the Sooners' quarterback struggles as the team prepares for its rivalry game against Texas.

The Red River Showdown in Dallas will test Oklahoma's ability to stabilize its offense.
NORMAN, Okla. — Oklahoma safety Peyton Bowen acknowledged the Sooners' quarterback struggles on Monday as the team prepares for its annual rivalry game against Texas. Bowen's comment came during media availability, highlighting ongoing uncertainty at the position ahead of the Red River Showdown in Dallas.
The Sooners have rotated quarterbacks this season, with starter Dillon Gabriel's inconsistent play drawing scrutiny. Oklahoma's offense has averaged just 24 points per game in its last three contests, well below its season average. Bowen, a key defensive back, said, 'We see it every day in practice. It's not just one guy; we all have to be better.'
The quarterback situation could determine Oklahoma's fate against a Texas defense that ranks in the top 20 nationally. A loss would severely damage the Sooners' Big 12 title hopes and bowl prospects. Head coach Brent Venables is expected to name a starter later this week, with fans and analysts calling for clarity.
