OU football is officially back.

Ryan Welton and Clay Horning react to Day 1 of SEC Media Days after Brent Venables, John Mateer, Taylor Wien and Eddie Pierre-Louis met with reporters in Tampa.

The conversation covers why Venables believes this is the strongest leadership group of his tenure, what Mateer revealed about the evolving offense, why the offensive line may finally be ready to take a major step forward, and why Clay believes offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle enters the season under enormous pressure.

They also discuss:

• Why Taylor Wien's comments stood out

• Jason Witten's influence on the offense

• Whether Oklahoma finally has enough offensive weapons

• The biggest question surrounding John Mateer

• Can OU compete for a national championship?

• Greg Sankey's comments on the future of college football

• The growing power struggle between the SEC and Big Ten
