Ep. 218 - A Pleasant Surprise! OU Plays Best Game of Season

No opening take today. We start by giving some love to Drake Stoops and then the rest of the OU receivers. Grant says the offensive gameplan against Texas Tech is what OU is going to have to do to win a Playoff Game. Grant wants to move on from Kansas, but Lee is not ready to just forget it totally. Lee's got a rant about why that Kansas game is still something to remember moving forward (9:20). Key Lawrence moving to corner looked to make a huge difference. DJ Graham returning also helped OU's defense. Just how important are cornerbacks in this defensive scheme (14:10)? Texas Tech's first two TDs were preventable. When Lincoln Riley says they're "close" -- this actually does look like OU is "close" to being much better. Isaiah Thomas had a nice game and OU was able to get more TFLs than they have recently (25:00). We go to "3 Word Reviews" that lead us to talking about Billy Bowman losing his Nickel job to Justin Broiles, Spencer Rattler taking a deep shot and experiencing a really cool moment, the first Playoff rankings come out this week and we tell you why you shouldn't care, finally an enjoyable OU football game, more Key Lawrence love, and a Marcus Major sighting (29:30). OU's on a 17 game winning streak. OU played 9 straight games and thank God the schedule has been easy. And Lee gives Grant credit for being the only person who correctly predicted Iowa State's season and Grant's picks on the podcast went 5-0 last week (52:30). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
