The Choctaw Casino & Resort's Unofficial 40 podcast is in mid-season form as the entire crew is here to talk about the scandal in Phoenix. Spencer Rattler was suspended for the rest of the season. What do we know and will any of this affect his future at OU? Kansas State is also headed to town and we're wondering if this is another physical test the Sooners will struggle with on defense. We have your Coop Ale Works Players to Watch as well as breaking down what the Sooners will need from the running back position with Trey Sermon likely to miss the game this weekend. We also take you on the recruiting trail recapping our trip to see Trejan Bridges over the weekend and what's ahead for Lincoln Riley and the Sooners.
