Trench Warfare: The Crimson Rematch
Episode Description
Oklahoma and Alabama meet again, this time in the College Football Playoff and under the lights in Norman. In this Trench Warfare episode of the Champion Standard Podcast, we break down why rematches favor defense, how Brent Venables attacks familiarity, and why this Oklahoma team is built for January football. From Alabama’s offensive identity and explosive reliance to Oklahoma’s defensive discipline, quarterback execution, and the physical reality of playoff football, this is a full film-room and mentality discussion with no shortcuts. If this game turns grimy, uncomfortable, and physical, that’s exactly how Oklahoma wants it.
