September 18, 2017 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

6:10 What does OU's win over Ohio State mean for the Sooners moving forward this season?
7:05 Saturday was not as close as the score suggested.
8:10 We are fortunate to have a chance to watch Baker Mayfield and Lincoln Riley.

12:35 Lee had flashbacks to the 2008 National Title game vs. Florida.
13:20 OU's offensive line proved it's the best in the nation.
14:30 Baker Mayfield really didn't get touched much (outside of being crushed that one time)
15:50 What was with that direct snap to the running back play call?
17:20 Lee is convinced that Baker Mayfield was faking cramps and that was all part of OU's offensive game plan.
19:15 Talking more about Trey Sermon and Kyler Murray running the option.
20:25 Mark Andrews factoring into the game plan and how bad is that knee injury?
22:00 Poise and masterful are 2 words that describe OU's offense on Saturday.

29:10 Lincoln Riley is just a step ahead of everybody else.

39:15 Will Johnson and his importance to the OU secondary.

44:00 Grant shouts out all the other members of the secondary who played well against the Buckeyes.
45:00 Lee believes that Neville Gallimore made one of the biggest plays of the game.
46:05 Why didn't Ohio State run the football more?
46:50 Obo was fantastic.
48:10 Mark Jackson made some plays. Emmanuel Beal played his best game at OU, and Kenneth Murray did his job.
49:35 JT Barrett is who we thought he was.
52:15 We've made it 50 minutes into the podcast before finally acknowledging the magnificence with which Baker Mayfield plays the quarterback position.
55:20 Grant believes the best is still yet to come from Baker Mayfield this season.
56:15 Lee messes up where the Sooners bye week lands and we just knive right on talking about where the program stands moving forward this year.
