West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Lee shares the moment against Texas Tech when he fully realized the value of Rhamondre Stevenson. Then Grant joins to talk about how the OU-Tech game seems like it happened three weeks ago and had a weird vibe, which included some questionable officiating (5:30). We open with "3 word reviews" which leads us to a lengthy discussion revolving around Rhamondre Stevenson's 2020 debut (9:00). How much does Stevenson's presence "unlock" OU's offense (17:20)? Some brief thoughts on Mikey Henderson (23:00). Let's discuss Ronnie Perkins making his season debut -- which means we also talk a lot about OU's defensive line (24:30). Hey OU's defense got a stop on 4th & 1 -- which hasn't happened a lot of late (32:20). It's not often that the Sooners force 3 takeaways in a game (34:55). What was the deal with Marvin Mims and Theo Wease dropping all those passes (37:45)? Okay let's talk about Spencer Rattler and how good he was Saturday. Didn't we tell you all that this dude was really darn good (39:00)? When are we going to see Jadon Haselwood, and what's the deal with Trejan Bridges (46:30)? Lee has no problem with Rattler saying that he and OU wanted to go embarrass Texas Tech (48:40). Could OU have kept the Peach Bowl competitive with this version of Spencer Rattler playing quarterback (51:25)? Does it seem like this is a brand new season for the Sooners (54:30)? Is it a hot take to think that Rhamondre Stevenson will be a better NFL player than Chuba Hubbard (1:01:05)? A listener wants to make it clear that the "suspended 3" probably shouldn't have broke the rules in the first place (1:04:30). A listener points out a really interesting aspect of the Tech game that we didn't realize and we wonder what the line would be if OU played OSU this week? And it wouldn't be this show if we didn't talk about K-State's Deuce Vaughn (1:07:35). Okay so do we want to see more Mikey Henderson (1:13:45)? Let's talk more about OU's defensive performance (1:14:55). Is Joe Mixon the second best running back we've seen play at OU in our life time (1:17:40)? OU's defensive backs played really well and Alex Grinch continues to play a bunch of guys (1:21:25). OU's defensive line created a lot of havoc and even more on the DBs + random OSU/Texas talk (1:24:00). Lincoln Riley kept pouring it on plus there was a funny moment Lee noticed in the first half (1:29:05). Would have been great if Theo Wease would have been a little faster (1:33:20). Please don't make us do a massive preview of this terrible OU-Kansas game (1:36:30). The Big 12 is really down this year (1:42:10). If you enjoy when we rant about the Big Ten, you'll probably like this part of the show. Why is the Big Ten hating on Nebraska so much for wanting to play football (1:44:15)? Oh hey the Pac 12 starts this weekend (1:57:40). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee tells you why OU could run the table and finish the regular season 8-2. Then Grant joins to provide a minor correction from last week's show, which leads to Grant thinking about recanting his earlier season thoughts on K-State's Deuce Vaughn (3:40). Everybody is tired of the story about the three suspended players and of course we're not sure if they're gonna be back this week (7:55). We get to the "3-word reviews" from the TCU win, which leads to us complimenting Perrion Winfrey and the defensive line (10:10). What was with OU allowing TCU to gain yards late in the 2nd quarter, which gave TCU a FG attempt (15:00)? Are we sure Woodi Washington should have been called for PI (18:00)? What was with Gary Patterson calling timeouts late in the 4th quarter after the game was basically over (19:45)? Gabe Brkic bounced back quite nicely after his horrible miss vs. Texas (23:15). Spencer Rattler made some questionable decisions in the run game (25:15). Time for us to gush over Marvin Mims (27:20). Grant liked OU's offensive game plan when it came to Spencer Rattler's willingness to take shots down the field (35:15). We get to our regularly scheduled discussion about Bookie. Plus Grant is annoyed that a former OU player criticized Bookie on social media (39:05). OU's defense prevented Max Duggan from beating them with his legs, and Grant loved Winfrey's "scream & flex" moment (49:20). Unfortunately, OU's running game continued to underwhelm in what should have been a game in which they excelled (54:00). Charleston Rambo continues to struggle and Grant is disappointed (1:01:15). The rest of the show we preview the Texas Tech game, beginning with Henry Colombi -- Tech's brand new starting quarterback (1:07:00). Tech's offense is different than in the past and it looks like they'll force OU's DBs and LBs to tackle in space (1:11:30). Tech has the worst defense in the Big 12, so OU's offense will have zero excuses if it doesn't put up a lot of points (1:21:05). If Rhamondre Stevenson plays and gets a lot of carries that should lead to a lot of rushing yards for the Sooners (1:24:30). Lee's running late so he wants to know if OU's gonna win (1:28:25)? | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

No opening take today, but the guys jump right into asking the question: will Rhamondre Stevenson, Trejan Bridges, and Ronnie Perkins play vs. TCU (2:35)? If all three of those players are available to play, which would have the biggest impact in the game (8:10)? How often will Chris Murray play? And it sounds like Lincoln Riley's starting to get more of a full roster at practice (13:15). Grant's really excited about the defensive line and that's the thing he likes the most about OU through four games (14:40). Lee likes that we're seeing the early stages of what "Speed D" could actually be down the line (21:00). It's possible OU's secondary played against the best collection of weapons college football has ever seen vs LSU (24:40). Running backs, safeties, discipline, and mentality are all the things we don't really like about OU through four games (27:25). We shift over to the OU-TCU preview. This game is set up perfectly for OU's running game to break out (36:30). Lee's got some crazy stats about TCU's defense and allowing explosive plays (46:30). Talking TCU's defense against Sam Ehlinger and Grant finally saw what Lee's been seeing in Ehlinger all this time (51:00). Will OU bring back the pop pass? And will the Sooners be able to attack TCU's defense over the middle of the field (54:10)? Max Duggan makes TCU's offense go -- if OU contains him, the Sooners' defense should have their way (55:55). Touching on some of TCU's playmakers outside of Duggan (1:04:40). Hopefully Gabe Brkic is all good Saturday (1:06:30). The guys go over what they *want* to see happen vs. TCU. First time we've really mentioned Spencer Rattler and his mistakes (1:08:00). Grant's not very happy in hindsight that OU played Missouri State. And what would have OU-Tennessee looked like (1:17:10)? Back to OU-TCU as the guys tell you what *will* happen Saturday (1:19:35). We make some wishy washy predictions for the game. We know, we're lame. Also we talk about Kennedy Brooks and Justin Harrington being gone (1:21:20). Is OU's record preventing us from being as engaged with the rest of college football (1:24:15)? Grant goes on the record with another take about LSU's offense and its offensive coordinator (1:26:30). The Big Ten gets going this weekend and Grant is excited to watch his Gophers, plus Grant is super pumped for the Pac 12 eventually playing 9am games (1:29:40). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
