West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

No opening take today, but the guys take an unnecessary swipe at a restaurant before jumping into Caleb Williams and his awesome abilities (2:00). Quick detour to lament the defense. It all started getting bad after Max Duggan scrambled for a 1st down and then scored 2 plays later. Alex Grinch continues to tell us that he's gotta coach it better and the guys have to perform (9:50). When can we hope some injured Sooners come back? They're going to need to be as healthy as possible for the stretch run (19:50). Back to Caleb Williams. Is it crazy to ask if he's the best player in the country? OU had a bunch of explosive plays and got contributions from a lot of players (24:25). We read your "3 Word Reviews". Should Williams have won the starting job out of fall camp? More on the poor defense, Jadon Haselwood's big game (35:35). Does this 7-0 start feel like OU's 7-0 start in 2019? Bryson Washington made a great special teams play. Billy Bowman was playing corner, OU covered a big spread finally, and should Caleb Williams be in the Heisman conversation (46:15)? Does Joshua Eaton have some upside? More on Billy Bowman, the defense needs to tackle better, and we wrap things up by talking about DaShaun White fumbling the ball out of the back of the end zone and Danny Stutsman being funny on Twitter (51:00). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee goes over the big story of the day involving the "OU Daily" reporting on OU Football practice. Then Grant joins to talk more about the "OU Daily" story and the new story that OU has created for itself by canceling media availability (5:00). Grant has some early thoughts on the upcoming TCU game. What will we be saying about Caleb Williams after that game? And Lee wonders where Alex Grinch was on Tuesday (11:35)? OU's been very good after the Texas game under Lincoln Riley, but could this QB situation be a distraction that prevents the Sooners from properly preparing for TCU? Do we need to pump the breaks a bit on Caleb Williams (14:45)? Lincoln Riley's told us that Rattler has handled everything well. But what happens if things change (26:10)? Rattler has had every opportunity since the spring to improve and keep the starting QB job. Is it possible that Rattler has been feeling the heat from Williams since the spring (34:20)? Lee thinks back to the OU Spring Game and reads from his notes following a day in which Spencer Rattler didn't look very good, and Caleb Williams looked better. Grant remembers a conversation we had leaving the stadium that day (40:45). We check out the "3 Word Reviews" from the OU-Texas game which leads to Grant's disgusting food choice at the Texas State Fair, Kennedy Brooks, Texas fans eating crow, Caleb Kelly's great play (46:40). Caleb Williams seems to open up the RPO playbook for OU, and the Sooners ran GT Counter with great success on Saturday (50:40). Thoughts on Woodi Washington, Nik Bonitto being good, the importance of Jalen Redmond, Drake Stoops' NFL prospects, Gabe Brkic and Lincoln Riley's clock management (56:00). We look ahead to Saturday's game against TCU. The Horned Frogs' defense is weirdly bad this year (1:06:00). OU's defense has to face another elite running back this week in Zach Evans. What on earth can we expect from OU against what has been a pretty good TCU offense (1:10:55)? Our final thoughts and concerns about what will happen Saturday night vs TCU (1:14:35). Baylor is favored at home against BYU this week and there's a super interesting matchup between Iowa State and K-State in Manhattan (1:18:55). We make some picks on OSU-Texas/Michigan State-Indiana/Kentucky-Georgia/Ole Miss-Tennessee/UCLA-Washington (1:24:15). Lee allows Grant to gloat a bit for kind of prediciting that Texas A&M would beat Alabama and Grant continues to try and speak something into existence (1:35:50). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

No opening take. Grant is podcasting from a parking lot in Liberty, Missouri fully sunburnt, and lacking much of a voice. Grant provides a first hand perspective of what it was like at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, while Lee does his best to fill in all the details. Lee asks Grant if that game felt like the OU-Georgia Rose Bowl, but actually cool for the Sooners this time (3:20). The game could not have started worse for Oklahoma. The guys go chronilogically through the game leading up to the point in which Caleb Williams takes over for Spencer Rattler. Grant thinks Spencer Rattler suckered him in the K-State game. Caleb Williams looked like he unlocked the OU offense (9:30). Grant thinks Bijan Robinson will win the Heisman (27:05). Caleb Williams comes into the game full time at 35-17 and Lee thought one play displayed the biggest difference between Williams and Rattler. Did Williams energize the entire team? Also Kennedy Brooks was awesome (29:15). Williams first touchdown pass was a fantastic play. Grant talks about how uncomfortably loud it was inside the stadium, plus it was good to see Danny Stutsman back (40:25). What's left to say about the Marvin Mims' incredible touchdown catch? Spencer Rattler came back in to go for 2, Caleb Kelly made an outrageous play on special teams (48:00). Lee has some interesting stats on OU's offense with Rattler vs. OU's offense with Caleb Williams against Texas (53:45). Lincoln Riley did not commit to a starting QB for the TCU game. Lee doesn't think Riley wants to bench Rattler. Grant thinks there's no chance Rattler starts against TCU and leaves everybody with one final OU-Texas message (57:45). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee plays some sound from Alex Grinch and talks about how mad he was after the Kansas State game. Then Grant joins to talk briefly about his terrible food takes before getting more serious about Grinch and the defensive woes (5:40). Is Bijan Robinson the entire Texas offense? How much should we take from the Texas-Arkansas game? How did Sark decide on Hudson Card as the opening day starter over Casey Thompson (23:00)? After looking really good against Arkansas, Rice, and Texas Tech, Casey Thompson had mixed results against TCU. What is the blueprint for OU's defense against the Texas offense (32:00)? Texas has more RBs than just Bijan Robinson. A Texas starter on the O-Line is out for the year, plus we wrap up OU's defense vs the Texas offense (40:45). This Texas defense has a lot of similarities to the defense OU just saw. Texas is not very good against the run and at times the Horns invite teams to run the ball (50:30). Which Spencer Rattler will show up at the Cotton Bowl (59:45)? The guys provide their final thoughts predicitions for OU-Texas (1:04:10). We hit on Justin Harrington reportedly entering the Transfer Portal, and would you want to see Bookie back on the team this year (1:14:10)? We take a look at the Big 12. WVU is at Baylor and TCU travels to Texas Tech. Grant thinks TCU may be bad (1:18:00). Grant's been red hot making picks recently. 9-1 in his last 10. Let's see if he can stay hot this week as the guys pick Michigan State-Rutgers/Arkansas-Ole Miss/Georgia-Auburn/Penn State-Iowa/Michigan-Nebraska (1:23:10). Finally, Grant has a weird feeling that there could be a massive upset this week in college football (1:43:00). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
