Video: First impressions of Oklahoma at fall camp

Oklahoma took the field for its second practice of fall camp Friday.

And SoonerScoop.com was there to watch it all. Scoop’s Eddie Radosevich and George Stoia broke down everything they saw at practice and what coach Brent Venables had to say after practice. The two talked about everything from which players stood out physically during the viewing period to who appears to be Oklahoma’s most vocal leader. Watch the full breakdown below.

Venables also spoke after practice, answering questions about position battles, offensive standouts, the defensive line’s depth, and what he wants to see accomplished over the next few weeks of fall camp.

“This is, again, a developmental game,” Venables said. “I want guys that are relentless to improve. And it takes humility. It takes hunger. And that’s what I want from a football team. I want a humble team and I want a hungry team. And I want a team that’s accountable to one another and to this place and their opportunity. I want guys who show up here every day and respect their opportunity to be here. And your actions speak louder than words, coach and player. So, it’s every part.”

It was a hot day in Norman, with temperatures over 100 degrees. Venables said that staying hydrated has been a point of emphasis for Oklahoma, which shows maturity.

“It’s showing up out here and knowing that guys have the maturity to know that when we show up for the hydration test in the morning after Day 1,” Venables said. “Our older guys in particular, guys that have been here, are where they’re supposed to be on that hydration test. If a guy shows up here and he’s in the quote-on-quote red, after the first day, that’s concerning. That’s a guy that’s taking what we’re talking about nonstop for granted. Because your best ability is availability. And if you’re an older guy and we’re counting on you and then you can’t go through half the practice because you weren’t hydrated – that’s a problem. That’s concerning for an older guy. “
