The Oklahoma Sooners created another fantastic atmosphere at the 2023 spring game, welcoming Kyler Murray back to receive his Heisman statue.
John Williams of Sooners Wire at USA TODAY Sports discusses his experience and he and Josh Helmer of 94.7 The Ref in Norman share their takeaways on who stood out on both sides of the ball.
On defense, Peyton Bowen and Dasan McCullough were fantastic. On the offensive side of the ball, the running game struggled, but Dillon Gabriel stood out and Jackson Arnold made a few plays that provided a glimpse of what’s to come at quarterback for the Sooners.

It wasn’t Peyton Bowen who broke up the pass it was Reggie Pearson!!!
THE PROGRAM AS A WHOLE SHOULD BE CONCERNED WITH THE AMOUNT INJURIES it impedes development continuity upward mobility !!! MUST GET HEALTHY Sometimes it takes the body more time to adjust to a different type of work out a.k.a. Smitty🤔🤔🤔 vs Hot yoga Benny Wiley
Players that I saw that I think will make a difference this year: McCoullough Bothroyd Bowen Anthony and then the rest looked improved.
National title contenders? 😭
😂😂😂 national title contender days are over, I think you guys are overhyping that offense, didn’t look good at all , defense played better but that was probably because that o-line was horrible
You're bringing good content. Love the channel. Boomer sooners!!
BV is no head coach, I see 7 wins this year
I have to admit that I was wrong about McCullough at the Cheetah. I thought he was just an Edge based upon his Indiana tape, boy was I wrong!
That wasnt Peyton Bowen boss
It wasn’t Payton lol
Get Bowen and Vickers on the field in the rotation for sure.
McCollough needs to be on the field for sure in whatever capacity. He just gets it and has a knack to be around the ball.
We need players to step up. The passes to Gibson hit him in the hands. This is high school stuff. We cannot have drop after drop after drop. He has been in 2 Spring games and all the practices. He has fallen down the list. Need reliability period.
im so glad that we got our defense back. we have not had a good defense since, wellll, since venables was defensive coord for bob stoops. they won a natty back then so im hoping that our offense gets better playing this powerful defense and we can get us ANOTHER natty in the next year or two
DG is not him
I have the same feeling about our offenses As I did last year. It's kind of scary we're not that good hope lebby knows what hes doing because it look the same as last year It takes too long for the offense to get going I'm sure i'm going to have a bad feeling About next year
The patchwork offensive line made the offense look worse (especially Jackson Arnold) and the defense look better. Fun to watch though.
McCullough: where the ball was, he was
Talk about the game !!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved the video, but Mccullough should have been in your title, and the sweep over Baylor should have been mentioned.
How many wide-open passes does DG have to miss before you consider it a QB battle? I want him to do well, but we've seen a pattern at this point. Missing receivers the way he does is unacceptable, especially at this stage. That easy drag route he missed was a ridiculously easy throw. He is what he is at this point.
I think the pass deflection in the endzone was R Pearson, not Bowen.
It was lousy the way they set up the game.
I don’t think we can really think that on both fronts. I love our team but having the first team offense make TDs against 2nd team defense gives me what I need to see yet.
I also don’t think the number 1 defense busting through the number 2 OLine shows me what I want to see yet either.
It was fun and the defense gives me hope they can still do the same against other teams OLine.
Peyton is really really good
No disrespect but stop it John Williams, the drop in attendance from last year was not because it was Kyler Murray compared to Baker, it was a combination of cold weather and people still recovering from several tornadoes days before.
Agree, by 2025 we will be beastly!!!
I liked Dasan’s play
With the # 1 OLine in front of Arnold he can make those throws like he did to Freeman
Missing a few lineman really ain’t a small thing y’all.
Very cool. I thought I heard your voice in some of those post game interviews.
DJ! A sleeper stud WR, Gipson needs to catch the ball,
We really will not know anything till the cincy game, let the chemistry develop
Everyday!! BOOMER SOONER!!
