  • Ep. 9 - Things Get Weird in Waco
    Lee provides some perspective after OU struggles to beat Baylor in Waco. Then Grant joins in to try and make sense of what happened against the Bears. Plus Lee provides detailed breakdowns of those 2 long Baylor touchdown passes that changed the whole game.
    3:35 The guys describe the OU-Baylor game in one word
    4:50 Grant said weeks ago that Baylor was a trap game for the Sooners.
    7:25 Should we be concerned about the OU defense?
    9:10 Baylor's QB had a career day 1 week after going 12/34 with 3 picks against Duke.
    10:15 Jordan Thomas may have had his worst game as a Sooner on Saturday.
    10:50 Maybe Baylor's offense was not as successful in this game as the box score would suggest
    11:55 Lee believes this game was changed by 2 big plays given up by the OU secondary.
    13:05 That 71-yard TD pass OU allowed in the 1st half actually wasn't that bad of a play by Jordan Thomas.
    15:15 On the flip side, that 72-yard TD pass OU allowed in the 3rd quarter was quite a poor play by JT.
    18:35 bottom half Big 12 teams have the ability to burn you -- and we saw an example of that Saturday.
    19:50 Parnell Motley made some mistakes Saturday, but Baylor clearly tried to avoid him.
    21:00 Lee goes over all the times Baylor threw towards Motley. It wasn't much.
    23:00 Baylor looked nothing like the Baylor on the film from the first 3 games and the Bears came out with a nice offensive game plan.
    25:10 Lee thinks maybe JT just simply played a bad game and he could easily bounce back.
    26:35 OU's front 7 played pretty well Saturday and Baylor could not run it at all.
    28:10 Should we panic about the OU defense?
    30:35 Grant thinks Baker Mayfield played fine and describes OU's offensive game plan against Baylor as "interesting".
    32:05 the Sooners offense started about as fast as possible -- and Lee thinks Mayfield played really well Saturday.
    33:25 Tip of the cap to Mayfield for taking a shot and completing a nice ball to Mark Andrews (who looks fine)
    34:00 Mayfield's arm is clearly fine
    35:10 Grant thinks OU could have buried Baylor in the first half if the Sooners would have thrown it more.
    36:55 it's impossible to predict the Sooners RB situation and that's not a bad thing.
    39:15 we reminisce on that 2008 season when OU's opponents never got called for holding
    40:00 The OU offense is fine and this game should not make you think otherwise.
    41:00 when OU's offense trailed against Baylor, Sooners turned into a machine
    41:45 Was the plan all along to wait until the 4th qtr to play Trey Sermon?
    43:30 Erick Wren and Ben Powers flashed on Sermon's first TD run
    44:15 Lee was disappointed in Marquise Brown fumbling in the 2nd half
    45:20 CeeDee Lamb looked good once again and so did Jeff Badet
    47:15 if you didn't watch this game you would think OU and Baylor are pretty even
    47:50 was this Baylor game a necessary wake up call for OU?
    48:45 for OU to get a wake up call while also getting a road win -- that's nice. And Lee begs the Sooners to watch all the film all throughout the rest of the year.
    50:50 the guys briefly touch on the OSU-TCU game

  • Ep. 8 - Is Baylor a Terrible Football Team?
    Grant opens the show by looking back at that debacle of a game between OU and Baylor from 2014 and then explains how a lot has changed in the past 3 years. After that, Lee joins in to find out once and for all whether or not the Bears are a terrible football team. Plus the guys share their updated Top 10!
    5:20 Is Baylor a terrible football team? Grant cheats on his answer while Lee provides a concrete response.
    7:25 Baylor is actually closer to Texas Tech in quality as opposed to a team like Kansas.
    9:15 Baylor's stats are awful on defense, but Lee is of the mind that the Bears are not as bad as the numbers say.
    10:35 Grant is literally watching the Baylor-Duke game as we speak and Liberty has a better offense than the Blue Devils.
    11:25 Grant is confident that Baker Mayfield will shred Baylor's secondary
    12:10 Baylor is getting a ton of players back from injury or suspension on defense for the OU game
    14:50 It's worth noting that the Bears have played much better against the pass the previous 2 games
    15:15 Lee thinks the Baylor defensive line can get after the QB, however the Bears are missing one of their best players on the line.
    17:55 Mayfield is awesome when people blitz him. So bring it on Baylor.
    18:30 How should the OU offense attack the Baylor defense?
    19:20 Grant doesn't see how Baylor has the athletes to stop the Sooners on a consistent basis.
    20:10 The Sooners have probably watched film from last year's game a bit this week and in that game OU ran the ball very well.
    21:00 Grant just didn't see anybody on Baylor's defense flash on film.
    21:45 What would be the worst case scenario for OU's offense against Baylor's defense?
    23:25 We dive into OU's defense matching up against Baylor's offense. Sooners fans may remember the Bears' starting QB.
    24:50 Baylor QBs have been not great so far this year and Grant thinks the Bears actually got a break because their starter is out.
    26:35 Baylor gets a 1,000 yard rusher back from injury against OU and Grant thinks he's a pretty good player.
    28:00 Lee looks back to last year's game and realizes that Baylor's leading rusher will be out with an injury this Saturday.
    29:45 Baylor's offense doesn't seem to have an identity through 3 games
    30:55 it looks like BU is trying to find a balance between the Art Briles offense and Matt Rhule's offense
    32:10 Baylor's WRs are the strength of the offense if they can get the ball in space.
    34:50 Should we expect OU's defense to come out flat again?
    37:15 The best case scenario for OU's defense against Baylor.
    38:55 We touch on Baylor's ridiculous decision to run the "Oklahoma Drill" during pregame
    40:40 What do we *want* to see happen on Saturday?
    42:55 What *will* happen in the OU-Baylor game?
    44:10 Lee provides his final score prediction.
    45:10 Grant will never give a final score prediction because he thinks that's stupid.
    BIG 12 TALK
    46:00 Texas Tech plays at Houston this week and Lee is interested to watch Kyle Allen play.
    47:25 TCU-OSU is the biggest game in college football this week

  • Ep. 7 - OU Comes Out Flat, Still Topples Tulane
    Lee opens the show hat in hand with the admission that he was wrong about Tulane. Then Grant joins in to comment on whether we should be concerned about the OU defense, worried about Baker Mayfield's arm, and why not talking about CeeDee Lamb is actually a complement.
    4:30 Should we be concerned that OU's defense started slow against Tulane?
    6:35 Grant is slightly concerned because of the way Tulane's offense attacked OU's defense
    7:55 Lee noticed that OU's defense performed well on the very first play of the game -- except for one player
    9:10 OU's defense struggled early on simply because the personnel did not do their jobs
    9:50 Lee points out that Tulane's opening drive should have ended in a FG attempt
    11:00 Grant was encouraged by how the defense responded after halftime and was happy to see the Sooners depth get a lot of playing time
    12:30 It's just nice to see an OU team come out and play much better in the 2nd half
    13:55 Parnell Motley once again showed that all the talk we heard about him leading into the season was all legitimate
    15:15 Kenneth Murray loves to watch film and that's awesome
    17:10 Mike Stoops says he's not sure if Robert Barnes and/or Will Johnson will be able to play against Baylor
    19:00 Baker Mayfield admitted that Tulane was an off night for him -- which would be a phenomenal night for most QBs in the nation
    19:45 Grant noticed a trend in regards to Mayfield that is concerning and something to keep an eye out for moving forward
    20:55 Should we be worried about Baker Mayfield's arm strength?
    22:40 Jumping into the running back situation against Tulane. Lee was not impressed with Trey Sermon's vision and patience.
    24:00 Grant thinks Abdul Adams proved against Tulane that he's the best RB on the Sooners
    25:10 It's impressive how evenly the OU coaching staff splits carries between the RBs
    25:50 All 4 of the Sooners running backs are quality players
    26:30 Mark Andrews played against Tulane and Lee would have rather him sit that game out
    27:45 Andrews didn't look as explosive as usual and Grant thinks Andrews is potentially scared about getting hurt
    28:55 Lee is not a fan of teams that can't properly get up for games -- no matter the opponent
    30:20 Grant is glad that the Sooners showed the self awareness to acknowledge that they came out flat
    32:00 CeeDee Lamb getting ejected in the 2nd quarter may have injected some life and some fire into OU
    33:15 Can we get some clarification on the targeting rules?
    34:30 Lee tries to figure out why the ref threw the flag for targeting, and then contradicts himself because why not?
    35:40 Grant says it's pretty clear that Lamb is the next star WR at OU
    36:20 Lee explains that not talking about CeeDee Lamb is a huge complement because we assume he's already a great player
    38:35 Kyler Murray is a baseball player so it's not surprising that he has a big arm
    39:25 Grant thinks Marquise Brown looks comfortable and his speed jumps off the screen
    40:25 OU has recruited very well offensively and Grant thinks this may be the deepest offense OU has had
    42:10 Marquise Brown and Parnell Motley seem to be pretty good buddies
    43:25 Grant thinks it's a big deal that OU is a team that has players who get along and team chemistry is strong
    44:10 Austin Seibert has a big leg and Lee loves it when the kickoff team doesn't have to make tackles
    44:40 Mayfield has never heard of Joey Galloway (or so he says)
    47:00 OU drops to No. 3 in the latest AP Poll behind Clemson and Alabama
    47:55 Big 12 play begins next week and OU should not be overconfident heading to Waco to play Baylor. Grant doesn't have a very good feeling about this game
    50:00 It's Christmas time for Lee
    51:25 "West of Everest" will begin releasing episodes on Thursday instead of Friday
