Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables received a warning about his status on the hot seat before the team plays Tennessee.

Head coach Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners got back in the win column on Saturday, defeating the South Carolina Gamecocks on the road by a final score of 26-7 in Columbia. OU started fast and finished strong in the 19-point win, and they are now 6-1 overall in 2025, including a 2-1 mark in the SEC.

Venables details the Vols' high volume offense, breaking down the star players that they need to contain if they want to walk out Neyland with a win.

Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables entered his fourth season in Norman on the hot seat. With losses to Texas and the Rebels, Seth Emerson of The Athletic suggested Venables could be on the hot seat if the Sooners struggle to win games in November.

The Sooners head coach had spent 10 years as Clemson defensive coordinator and faced South Carolina, the Tigers’ top rival, several times at Williams-Brice Stadium. So, he knew he would be seeing a rowdy student section with white towels that would be waving and knew he would be hearing the song “Sandstorm” that would be playing.

At his weekly press conference, Venables had plenty to say about the matchup vs. Ole Miss and the progress of the Sooners' defense.
