Arnold, the sophomore passer, began the season as Oklahoma's starter but had not appeared in a game since Sept. 21 before he came off the bench Saturday.
Littrell, the former North Texas coach, lasted just seven games as the Sooners' playcaller and left the job with Oklahoma ranked 128th in total offense.
Venables' confirmation of the move to stick with Arnold at quarterback arrived just over 24 hours after Oklahoma fired first-year offensive coordinator Seth Littrell.
Co-offensive coordinator Joe Jon Finley is set to take over interim playcalling duties for the Sooners in Littrell's place.
