NCAAF Social media reacts to the Oklahoma Sooners 23-20 loss to West Virginia
In the early going, the Oklahoma Sooners’ defense was doing some good things, even forcing West Virginia into a quarterback change. Once the Mountaineers went to Garrett Greene, it was a different game.
Greene was the catalyst in the Mountaineers’ first win over the Oklahoma Sooners since joining the Big 12. He led West Virginia on game-tying and game-winning drives in the fourth quarter. The Mountaineers’ defense held Oklahoma scoreless in the fourth quarter to complete the comeback win.
The passing game was conservative and inconsistent all afternoon, wasting a huge day from Eric Gray and the Oklahoma Sooners offensive line.
Danny Stutsman had a big game with 14 total tackles, including nine solo tackles, 0.5 sacks, and an interception. But he and the defense couldn’t make the necessary stops late to get the ball back for a struggling Oklahoma offense.
As the Oklahoma Sooners fell to 5-5 with their 23-20 loss to West Virginia, here’s how social media reacted.
Miscues hurt the team yet again
Brent Venables: We weren't very good at the wrong times. I'm very disappointed for our guys. … the mistakes that we made today, again, this game will punish you. False starts, holding, taking sacks at wrong time, dropped balls, offensive PIs … #Sooners

The Cold Hard Truth
Rock bottom for Oklahoma
West Virginia is a really bad football team, last place in the Big 12, and had never beaten OU since they joined the conference
And they used their backup quarterback#Sooners just aren't a good football team right now in any area

Yikes
#Sooners are officially the worst team in the Big 12.

Going to Greene the decision of the day
Imagine it… finally beating Oklahoma with the one QB that HCNB has absolutely refused to use. #hailWV #themostwestvirginiathingsever

There's still optimism
Regardless of how much we are struggling right now I know that Brent Venables and his staff will have this program back on tracks in a year or two. I truly believe that. I ride with team 128 til the wheels fall off. Trust the process. Yeah it sucks right now but give it time.

Patience
The Sooner yall realize that this is indicative of Riley than it is of Brent Venables the better.
Temper your expectations. Trust the process.

Still has his fingerprints on this team
Once proud Oklahoma falls to lowly 4-6 West Virginia, 23-20.
Somehow, this is Lincoln Riley’s fault.

Garrett Greene channeled Pat White?
QBs in #WVU history with 100+ yards and 2+ TDs rushing, with 100+ yards and TD+ passing

Missed Tackle at the Worst Time
Greene is putting the program on his back today #WVUvsOU this is the fuckin mindset. The fuckin fight that @WVUfootball is known for.
Need this win. It’s Oklahoma. Need to close. pic.twitter.com/H4ENjwQBfh— CFB (@cfb_takes1) November 12, 2022
Really tough loss
DaShaun White on Justin Broiles:
"Really emotional. He’s kind of the heartbeat of this team. To see him go down, it took me a while to snap out of it. He’s the heartbeat of this team. Everybody loves him. Seeing him down was kind of rough. Hoping for the best."

It's disappointing
Congratulations to the Oklahoma Sooners you are officially at the bottom of the Big 12! Could not be more disappointed in you.

Oh no
The Brent Venables and Charlie Strong comparisons are really starting to show.

Wasted performance
Eric Gray ran for 211 yards and Oklahoma's going to lose this game.

Not sure why they stopped blitzing
Good things happen to Oklahoma when they bring pressure. Bad things happen when they don’t.

Gotta get pissed about it at some point
Brent Venables after OU lost 23-20 to West Virginia to fall to 5-5: "They're young guys and they're hurting right now. They're really, really hurting. At some point and time, we've got to be pissed as well and do something about it. All of us. It ain't okay."#Sooners
— Eric Bailey (@EricBaileyTW) November 12, 2022
We haven't experienced this in a while
I’ve never felt this way about OU football in my life. 💔😞😭
(PS, for everyone wanting to come here and mention the 90s; save it. Living through that doesn’t mean others can’t be extremely discouraged right now. It doesn’t mean others can’t be MAD.)
— OU Tierani (@tierani_kristen) November 12, 2022
Yeah, what he said
That was one of the most infuriating and mystifying OU football games I’ve ever watched.

Got a long way to go
And we officially have bad
— Parker Thune (@ParkerThune) November 12, 2022
They didn't want it bad enough today
At what point do you sit here and say "I'm better than this dude" and just go make a play. Oklahoma has a lot of dudes that don't wanna have that mindset right now.

It's facts
