The 2024 Oklahoma football season was nothing short of a rollercoaster, but not the kind fans were hoping for. What was billed as a year of triumph and glory quickly devolved into a series of letdowns, questionable performances, and underwhelming MVP picks that left fans scratching their heads.
Let’s start with the much-hyped MVPs of the season. Many expected star players to shine in their positions, pushing the Sooners toward a Big 12 Championship and beyond. But instead of the powerhouse performances expected, fans were left with a string of disappointing results. Quarterback struggles plagued the team, with the expected leader faltering under pressure in key moments. Running backs, touted as potential Heisman candidates, were nowhere to be found when it mattered most. Instead of dominating games, they were repeatedly stifled by subpar offensive line play and glaring coaching mistakes. The MVPs handed out at the end of the season seemed more like participation trophies than a reflection of standout talent.
Now, let’s talk about the so-called “top plays.” For a team that prides itself on explosive offensive plays, the 2024 season felt like a year of missed opportunities. Long touchdown runs and highlight-reel catches were few and far between, overshadowed by repeated fumbles, missed field goals, and poor execution at critical moments. There were flashes of brilliance, but they were too infrequent to salvage the team’s overall performance.
As for the coaching staff, it’s hard to overlook the growing frustrations that mounted throughout the season. Game strategies seemed disjointed, and the adjustments that should have been made during key moments simply never came. Fans were left questioning the direction of the program and whether the leadership was truly capable of taking Oklahoma to new heights.
Ultimately, the 2024 Oklahoma football season was a series of failed expectations. The MVPs? More like empty titles. The top plays? Rare and fleeting. The season, as a whole, was an underwhelming disappointment that left fans wondering if the program was in as good a shape as it once seemed.
