Ep. 222 - Riley Rumors & Uneasy Feelings Ahead of Iowa State

In the opening take, Grant wonders why Creed Humphrey has done so well in the NFL so far while he seemed to not play anywhere up to this level at OU. Then Lee joins as we dive right into these rumors that Lincoln Riley is a candidate for the LSU job. Given all we know, should we be preparing ourselves for Riley to leave OU? We put ourselves into Riley's shoes and go over the pros and cons of leaving OU for LSU (3:50). Lee wants to talk about all the key players OU lost from the 2020 team. Tre Brown, Tre Norwood, Ronnie Perkins, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Creed Humphrey. Did we take Tre Brown for granted at OU? How good was Stevenson compared to other recent great OU RBs (36:00)? More on Creed Humphrey's time at OU vs. his short stint in the NFL. Lee talks about something Gabe Ikard recently talked on his podcast about OU's run game that may shed some light on to why Creed's game was different at OU compared to now (43:50). OU is a short favorite at home against Iowa State. We are going to learn a ton about the Sooners this Saturday. Both guys aren't feeling great about this game, and there's disagreement about how we should interpret the recent bizarre comments by Matt Campbell. Lee apologizes for not having a hard and fast game pick for you all (52:10). Let's talk Big 12. Could Texas go 4-8? Lee's an idiot for thinking TCU would keep it close last week against OSU. How good is OSU's defense and is it good enough for us to automatically take OSU -10 over Tech (1:22:30)? Grant continued his hot streak last week. He went 4-0-1 with his picks and on the podcast this season he's picking at a 67 percent clip. At some point this run will fizzle out but will it be this week? We pick Michigan State-Ohio State/Wake Forest-Clemson/SMU-Cincinnati/Baylor-Kansas State/Oregon-Utah (1:29:20). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
