What happened

Oklahoma beat New Mexico 14-6 and somehow felt worse for it, moving to 2-1 while the misery index climbed from 85 to 93. The turning point wasn't a play so much as a realization, somewhere in the second half, that this offense wasn't going to look better against anyone. One fan called it "worse than 2024," adding that he's "worried Venables lost the team in week 2." Another skipped ahead, predicting Georgia would "commit unspeakable crimes against us next weekend." A win nobody enjoyed, followed by dread.
