Oklahoma Hires 29-Year-Old Ben Arbuckle as Offensive Coordinator

The Sooners aim to revitalize their struggling offense with Arbuckle, who led Washington State to a top-12 scoring rank this season.

Ben Arbuckle, previously Washington State's offensive coordinator, has signed a three-year contract with Oklahoma to take over the same role.
At just 29 years old, Arbuckle has gained a reputation for innovative and high-scoring offenses, with Washington State ranking 12th nationally in scoring this season.
Oklahoma's offense struggled in its first season in the SEC, ranking 15th out of 16 teams in scoring and prompting the firing of Seth Littrell in October.
Arbuckle's track record includes developing standout quarterbacks, such as Cam Ward, now a Heisman contender, and John Mateer, who leads the country in total touchdowns this season.
Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables praised Arbuckle's passion and creativity, expressing confidence in his ability to maximize the Sooners' offensive potential.
