The heat is on Oklahoma coach Brent Venables as No. 20 Sooners try to recover from 6-7 season

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:25 GMT

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma’s rabid fanbase was overjoyed when Brent Venables was named head coach.Sooners fans had kept track of the former Oklahoma defensive coordinator for years after he took that same position at Clemson and helped the Tigers win two national titles. So when Lincoln Riley abruptly left for Southern California following the 2021 regular season, Venables was the popular pick to step in.The honeymoon ended as the Sooners struggled to a 6-7 finish last year, including a 35-32 loss to Florida State in the Cheez-It Bowl.Expectations are down a bit for Oklahoma in its final season in the Big 12 before heading to the Southeastern Conference. The 20th-ranked Sooners were voted third in the 14-team conference’s preseason poll – just the fourth time in the past 13 years they weren’t picked to win the league. Venables said the Sooners fell well below expectations last season — they had four three-point losses and lost to Kansas State by eight points — but grew as a team....

Coach Neal Brown gets another chance to show improvement at West Virginia. It could be his last

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:25 GMT

Neal Brown was allowed to keep his job at West Virginia after another lackluster season in 2022. Now it’s time for the fifth-year coach to show some improvement.The task will be tough with a brutal September schedule. Several key players transferred after last season and the Mountaineers are picked to flounder at the bottom of the expanded Big 12.“Looking forward to proving everybody wrong on that front,” Brown said. “We won’t finish there.”Even a middle-of-the-pack showing might not be enough to save him. New athletic director Wren Baker has made it clear that the Mountaineers need to win more games.West Virginia has yet to be ranked under Brown and has failed to become bowl eligible in two of his four seasons, including last year’s 5-7 record. His 22-25 overall record is the worst four-year stretch since the Mountaineers went 17-27 under Frank Cignetti from 1976-79.For now, Brown is focused on preparations, not predictions. He’s emphasizing toughness, especially on defense.“...

Here’s what Pence, DeSantis, Christie and other Trump 2024 rivals are saying about the Georgia indictment

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:23:25 GMT

(CNN) — Donald Trump’s biggest detractors in the 2024 Republican presidential race offered mixed reactions Tuesday to the former president’s indictment by a Georgia grand jury.Trump has remained defiant in the face of the new charges against him and 18 others stemming from their efforts to overturn his 2020 electoral defeat. He now faces four separate indictments at the same time that he’s running for president as the front-runner for the GOP nomination.Two rivals argued that the charges Trump faces in Fulton County are similar to the election interference charges brought by federal special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, and said the federal case should take precedence.Here’s what Trump’s 2024 GOP opponents are saying about the latest indictment:Former Vice President Mike PencePence, who broke with Trump on the day of the US Capitol riot and certified the results of the 2020 election, on Wednesday said “no one’s above the law” but that Trump is “entitled to the presumption of inn...
