Josh Heupel, Jay Norvell fired at OU The Sooners won five of their first six but finished 8-5, ending the regular season with a stunning overtime loss to Oklahoma State and then losing 40-6 to Clemson in the Russell Athletic Bowl. The Sooners finished eighth in the Big 12 in passing offense with 2,543 yards and 17 touchdown passes. Inconsistent quarterback play and unreliable receivers were the main culprits (sounds familiar). Heupel also was the quarterbacks coach. Norvell was in charge of the receivers.
