EA Sports is releasing “College Football 25” on July 19 and fans are excited for the return of the college football video game series.
On Thursday, EA released its offensive rankings for the 25 best offenses in the game, and the list featured the Oklahoma Sooners.
“College Football 25” has OU as the 23rd best offense in 2024, and the 8th best offense in the SEC. This comes following the departure of Jeff Lebby as offensive coordinator and the promotion of co-OCs Seth Littrell and Joe Jon Finley.
On the field, the Sooners lost quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who transferred this offseason. He leaves the job to Jackson Arnold, a more than suitable replacement.
Offensive line is the key for the OU offense, as the unit will see five new starters from a year ago. Cayden Green’s exit in the portal was the biggest blow of the offseason. Nationally, offensive line has been the biggest talking point for the Sooners this offseason.
In the passing game, Drake Stoops and Austin Stogner are gone, but everyone else returns, including Jalil Farooq, Andrel Anthony, Nic Anderson and Jayden Gibson. Transfer Deion Burks joined this winter to form a very dangerous unit.
In the run game, OU loses both Tawee Walker and Marcus Major to the transfer portal. However, Gavin Sawchuk is expected to take full control at running back after leading the Sooners in rushing a year ago. Jovantae Barnes will get plenty of carries as well, as a change-of-pace back.
The Sooners will have an 83 overall offense in “College Football 25”, tied with Florida State, Virginia Tech, and USC. But they look like a group, that if the offensive line comes together, could see that rating skyrocket.
