Oklahoma hopes to make the most of unfortunate circumstances in Gainesville.

Jason Witten was appointed interim offensive coordinator by Brent Venables following the OU coach's decision to move on from Ben Arbuckle.

It's a big moment for Witten, who only joined Oklahoma's staff as tight ends coach this past offseason. Witten has big aspirations for his coaching career, and he'll be able to close his first season as a collegiate position coach with a four-game run as play-caller.

Regardless of the performance of the offense, Venables' defense needs a bounce-back performance against the Gators if OU looks to follow its pattern of following every defeat with a victory in 2026.
