Oklahoma’s Brent Venables Shares Where Saturday’s Win Ranks With Titles at Clemson

Brent Venables Oklahoma Clemson Sooners Texas

Oklahoma’s Brent Venables scored his first signature victory as coach of the Sooners in the Red River Rivalry against Texas on Saturday, and he wouldn’t trade it for any of the championships he’s won in the past as an assistant.

That is a big claim for a coach who won a national title under Bob Stoops as defensive coordinator of the 2000 Sooners, and two more leading the Clemson defense for Dabo Swinney in 2016 and ’18.

No. 12 Oklahoma scored an incredible win over No. 3 Texas 34–30, in a candidate for the game of the year in college football so far this season. The win served as sweet revenge for the 49–0 shellacking that Venables’s team suffered a year ago, in his first season leading the Sooners.
