In the opening take, Lee highlights 5 separate plays that soured what turned out to be a pretty good OU defensive performance. Then Grant joins to react to that ugly Sooners loss at Baylor. Does OU have a problem playing well when they have more than one week to prepare? Does Lincoln Riley have a problem making in game adjustments (3:45)? Do we all need to pump the brakes on Caleb Williams (13:30)? More talk about the OU defense. Lee keeps trying to figure out if OU ever is supposed to have a guy set the edge (16:30)? Grant says Gerry Bohanon was awful on Saturday and Lee points out a play that OU could have had an easy INT, but instead Baylor picked up a first down (21:40). Grant makes sure to point out again that OU's defense played well enough to win and the offense did not hold up its end of the bargain. Brian Asamoah had maybe the best game of his career (29:30). Grant is fired up about the decision to take Caleb Williams out of the game and insert Spencer Rattler. Lee tries to get into Riley's head. That's got to be it for Rattler at OU, right (34:00)? Grant wanted OU's offense to space it out more against that Baylor defense (44:30). Over to "3 Word Reviews" where we talk about the end of the game. Grant is not happy with Lincoln Riley's postgame comments. This is a fired up Grant podcast (48:15). More "3 Word Reviews" lead to discussions about OU losing a game super late in the season for the first time in a long time. What's going on inside that locker room? Lee says this team looks to have an entitlement problem (52:15). Iowa State's been giving up a lot of points lately, but you know the Cyclones are going to be prepared to play OU(58:50). Why is tackling such a problem? Even if OU figured it out, they're not winning the National Championship this year anyway right (1:01:45)? More grab bag thoughts on OU-Baylor (1:08:15). We look big picture and Grant asks if Riley makes any kind of coaching move/change in the offseason (1:11:30)? Finally we talk about Texas losing to Kansas. This leads to a stupid debate about Texas and whether you should invest much time in caring about what they do (1:18:00). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
