Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables on Saturday did not sound too happy after his team beat Houston in a 16-12 affair at Memorial Stadium in Norman, Okla.
The Sooners built a 14-6 lead at halftime. But the offense began to sputter after the break as the team went scoreless in the third quarter. Oklahoma’s only points in the second half came on a safety with under two minutes left to play.
Oklahoma still found a way to win. But Venables sounded off during his postgame interview.
“We certainly deserved to lose as well,” said Venables. “But our guys did find a way. Great job on the defensive play to create the safety. Offense did a really nice job until we lost our mind and didn’t play with discipline. We deserved to lose because we did everything you could possibly do to give somebody a chance to win.”
