Oklahoma Sooners Postgame

The Sooners held a 23-16 lead with 2:00 remaining in their matchup with Missouri. All they needed was one more defensive stop. It never came. And then Jackson Arnold fumbled the ball and Missouri scooped and scored to take an improbable 30-26 lead. The people are gonna want answers. Carey, Eddie and George broke down how they saw this game, the issues, the people responsible for the loss and where this program goes from here. You don't want to miss it. George actually quit the pod at one point. Carey needed to edit a lot of f-bombs after it was all over. What the hell? Running back rotation? Receiver rotation? Arnold's confidence? The offensive gameplan? OU's collapse on defense? How much is Brent Venables responsible for? Is his job on the line? We break it all down now on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

Oklahoma beats Maine 59-14 and we honestly are trying to figure out what to make of it. The offense built on their run game after last week's success against Ole Miss a week ago. Jovantae Barnes had a career day with 203 yards on the ground and is starting to show the reason he was so highly thought of even after battling injuries earlier in his career. Jackson Arnold came up with explosive plays in the passing game, including a 90-yard TD pass to J.J. Hester. The longest ever by an OU receiver on Owen Field. The defense gave up a drive early but stiffened mightily until late in the game. What does this performance mean moving forward for the Sooners as they get back to SEC play next week against Missouri. Bowl eligibility is on the line as well. A lot of time for youngsters on the offensive line, new combinations in the secondary... There is no shortage of things to breakdown from a day full of playing time for those deeper down on the roster.

The Sooners headed to Ole Miss down a 20-point underdog. No one expected the Sooners to bring home a win, but they entered halftime with a 14-10 lead after Jackson Arnold and the OU offense put together a couple of methodical drives and the defense turned back the Rebels time and time again. But the second half was a different story. An offensive line that played their best half since starting SEC play, fell apart. They collapsed. And OU's chances at winning went with it. A couple of busts in the OU defensive secondary helped Jaxon Dart and the Ole Miss offense take the lead. And Jackson Arnold ended up being sacked 10 times on the day. All of this coming on the heels of Joe Jon Finley taking over as the offensive playcaller after Seth Littrell was fired following the loss to South Carolina. There were positives. There were negatives. And the Sooners now must move forward wondering if this thing is ever going to look like something heading in the right direction.

It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast and no one holds back on this edition after the Sooners have hit new lows with a 35-9 loss to South Carolina. Carey, Josh, Eddie and George have plenty to say. Some of it had to be bleeped out. Is Brent Venables forced to make changes offensively after the most recent loss? Where does Bill Bedenbaugh sit in all of this? The offensive line is terrible. And it's killing this season. Jackson Arnold took back the quarterback position after Michael Hawkins had three turnovers and gave the Gamecocks a 21-0 lead before most people had their pregame buzz wear off. And what does Brent Venables have to do now? Is his job on the line? Lots to chew on and lots for you to digest.

The Sooners' offense has become one of the most inept units in the country. And today's 34-3 loss to Texas took things to a new low. With two weeks to prepare, the offensive staff laid an egg on the Cotton Bowl turf. Texas picked up those eggs and threw them at the OU defense, crushing their spirit with every three-and-out from Seth Littrell's offense. Carey, Eddie and George convene to talk about what we saw today and how bad it really was. The questions are being asked. Should Seth Littrell be relieved of playcalling duties? Should he be fired? Should OU go back to Jackson Arnold after seeing what Michael Hawkins did today? We break it all down from our perspective. And how responsible is Brent Venables in all of this? How much are the players responsible? One thing we do know. Texas has more explosive players at several positions. More than the Sooners might have even when healthy. How did this happen? Where does OU go next? What happens the rest of this season?

It seemed like this game and this season were on the brink as the Sooners fell down 21-10 to Auburn. This was a team the Sooners circled as a win in the offseason. But with this offense, anything had become possible. Carey, Eddie and George regroup from the game and get down to business to discuss one of the greatest road comebacks in recent OU history. This doesn't mean everything is fixed, but the Sooners have a week off before the Red River Rivalry. Michael Hawkins Jr., showed us something at quarterback. The OU defense continues to play with grit and determination. They haven't had a lot of support, but they step up and make plays when it matters. Just as R Mason Thomas did once again on Saturday. Add Brenen Thompson, Bauer Sharp and J.J. Hester as capable and potentially reliable targets for Hawkins. The offensive line wasn't perfect, but they appeared to improve against a decent defensive line. In the end, the Sooners scored the only points of the fourth quarter. Even Zach Schmit stepped up with two big field goals. It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

The Sooners lose to Tennessee 25-15 in one of the most frustrating offensive outings since Bob Stoops took over for John Blake in 1998. This OU offense hasn't just regressed, it's disappeared completely. It looks like Michael Hawkins Jr., will be the near future. But with lots of tough opponents still to be played, the prospects for the season just took a nose dive on Owen Field tonight. Could changes be on the horizon? Carey, Eddie and George break it all down. What are we most concerned about? Who deserves the blame for all of this? Is Jackson Arnold done at OU? How many more games can OU win playing at this level? It was a very concerning performance and has us questioning just about everything going on inside the Switzer Center. This was not a drunk pod, but it probably set the record for f-bombs in a pod. We found at least 17 of them. And we think we caught them all. But we all lost our minds at one point or another while recording this pod. Come enjoy the madness with us, won't you?

Josh has joined the postgame pod this week along with Carey, Eddie and George. We're taking a deep dive into OU's 34-19 win. Maybe this is therapy? Maybe it's a little bit of frustration release? Maybe we don't even know what we're doing. Carey certainly can't remember anyone's name anymore. Eddie can't pronounce them. The Offensive line was better. At least for a little while. Then it was very bad. We have the plan for OU's offensive line moving forward because it's clear the best advice comes from the Internet. Jackson Arnold should stop running so much. But maybe he should start running more. Gameday is coming to town next week. Good thing or bad thing? OK, this team may not be a juggernaut, but it's starting to improve in some areas. And there's still no sign of Nic Anderson or Branson Hickman. And even less of a sign of Andrel Anthony. So if you are riding with the team that brought you, this is the team. And this is the podcast. The Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

And the Crimson Corner too. But hey, it's late night, you guys have been drinking and waiting for this, so we won't force you to wait any longer. It's our take on everything we've seen the last two weeks and where we think this thing could be headed.

The Oklahoma Sooners get the season opening blowout win over Temple as expected. But there are certainly areas of concern for fans and critics. Most notably, an offensive line that looked shaky at best. The lack of a running game against an overmatched opponent until Taylor Tatum took over late was disappointing. And an injury to Jalil Farooq that will sideline him for an extended period of time is concerning. Carey, Eddie and George are here after coming back to the Campus Corner studios from the stadium to break it all down. And it wasn't all concerning, the defense was stifling most of the night forcing turnover after turnover. The kicking game was even a major bright spot. And it appears Brent Venables defense is ready to take things to another level in year three. It's week one. So plenty of this is overreaction or reaction unjustified. But we like some of what we saw and we hated other parts. That's just what we do around here. The Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast starts now.
