West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Lee presents his mea culpa for his horrible predictions last week and also wonders about the general interest of college football across the nation. Then Grant joins to take his licks about his Deuce Vaughn takes from last week (7:00). It doesn't take much time into getting into how stupid and dumb that K-State game was (8:10). Lee wants Grant to react a little bit about opening take (11:00). OU's lost a lot of these types of games since 2009 (14:55). What's the deal with OU's offense late in close home games? Also, has OU just been really lucky in recent years (20:15)? What's the deal with OU's defense giving up explosive plays to Kansas State (25:00)? Lee tries to explain in detail what happened schematically on a few of those K-State explosive plays, which leads to a bunch of ranting about the defense (31:15). OU's defense dominated nearly every single snap of the game -- but 5-6 snaps did enough to help K-State win the game (37:30). A little bit of Skylar Thompson talk, which leads to Grant making up a meaning for a word that already exists. Also, it would be great if OU's defensive players just did their jobs individually and should the defense make some changes (40:50)? Okay, so we have to at least touch on Bryan Mead (45:25). OU's defensive line is really missing Ronnie Perkins and Jalen Redmond, plus should OU move DTY to linebacker? Yeah, we're throwing it all against the wall (47:40). Is OU still lacking talent on defense? Lee just wants them to be better with communication (51:30). What should be our expectations for this OU football team (56:30)? Lee didn't think the offensive line played as bad as everybody says they did. Grant sort of agrees, plus he's not sure why OU threw bubble screens to Charleston Rambo (1:01:30). This offense really misses Stevenson, Brooks, and Sermon at RB (1:05:00). Did OU get all of its bad luck out of the way (1:11:00)? Outside of a few plays, Spencer Rattler was really good against K-State (1:15:00). Lee thinks the team will have less pressure now that they've already lost a game (1:20:05). We read your "3 word reviews" from Facebook and Twitter (1:26:20). DaShaun White played really well (1:32:00). K-State was missing a lot of players and a bunch of unexpected people killed OU (1:33:40). OU plays Iowa State this Saturday and we have no clue what to expect (1:38:05). Lee has a very important question regarding OU's defense when it comes to playing against Iowa State (1:44:40). Grant shifts to the NFL as he admits he's changed his mind about Buffalo QB Josh Allen (1:47:10). Should Grant go to the Iowa State game (1:55:25)? | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee laments everything that Houston's football team has had to go through since the beginning of September. Then Lee talks a little bit about the possibility of Saturday's game against K-State getting postponed before bringing Grant in for his thoughts (4:30). Just how short-handed was K-State in its season opener against Arkansas State (12:05)? We may have gotten a little ahead of ourselves last episode inferring that other programs may not take contact tracing as seriously as others (21:45). It seems like OU's roster should be a lot more full this Saturday (26:20). We look ahead to K-State, beginning with the Wildcats' defensive line and what we know about Wyatt Hubert, the best way to attack this defense, and a little info on K-State's new defensive coordinator (30:10). Grant wants to marvel over Spencer Rattler (42:10). Lee's interested to see how Rattler reacts to K-State's defense on 3rd down, plus a K-State linebacker expects his team to win this Saturday (46:40). Ark State had one WR go for three TDs against K-State. What will OU's WR group do against this secondary (50:45)? K-State's offensive line looks really bad (54:20). Does K-State have any good running backs this year (1:02:55)? K-State has a couple of pretty good WRs, but will we see the normal Skylar Thompson who's not very good, or the Thompson who beat OU last year (1:06:20)? Grant's a little more skeptical about this game, while Lee is pretty confident OU is going to win by a lot of points (1:14:25). Lincoln Riley doesn't seem to think the three suspended players will have their penalties reduced (1:24:45). Does Grant feel like spiking the ball when it comes to his Oklahoma State season prediction? And Lee doesn't really get why OSU's backup quarterback wasn't pulled from the game earlier (1:31:35)? OSU plays West Virginia this week which is a super interesting game (1:39:55). The SEC is back this weekend and Lee thinks contact tracing won't be as much of an issue with that conference (1:42:25). Sports just aren't as fun in 2020 (1:44:30). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant has some advice for us as we look ahead to the remainder of the 2020 college football season. Then Lee joins to ask Grant for his hot takes, and we start with Spencer Rattler talk (4:40). Lee comes in with a hot take about Marvin Mims, which leads Grant to go into his full fledged defense of Charleston Rambo (17:20). Okay now let's talk about Mims (24:05). Rattler sounds like he's matured quite a bit since he arrived in Norman (28:20). If you're going to criticize any part of OU from Saturday it would be the running game (31:45). Seth McGowan looked great Saturday, while Marcus Major left a lot to be desired (39:45). We go over all the offensive players who were not available to play Saturday (50:20). The guys talk about the Nebraska game from 2008, which makes Lee feel like one of those jerks who only talks about old football seasons (54:20). The OU defense looked more than ready to hit somebody else (58:50). David Ugwoegbu looked like he ate CeeDee Lamb (1:05:20). Lincoln Riley liked what he saw from Reggie Grimes and we definitely have to credit DTY for the way he played (1:08:30). We go over all the defensive players who missed the game, plus two of OU's important specialists (1:10:30). We think we know a little more now about the three players who are suspended and a better idea of when they'll be back. We think (1:18:45). Lincoln Riley provided a brief update on transfer Chris Murray, which Grant has been waiting for (1:25:35). Turns out the NCAA has a uniform standard when it comes to Covid-19 contact tracing. This whole thing could be a major issue this fall (1:30:45). Do the current guidelines incentivize players to get Covid-19? (1:37:20). We lament that Covid-19 in college football has seemingly been politicized (1:44:00). The Big Ten is coming back in late October. Grant thinks this entire story has been incredibly entertaining and we try to get to the bottom of it (1:49:30). We agree that the Big Ten should admit they made a mistake, and at the same time the other conferences can show grace by allowing the Big Ten back in (2:01:35). The Big Ten's statement Wednesday put health at the forefront of its decision, which really bugs us (2:06:35). Lee asks the Big Ten 'what has changed in the last month that led you to make this decision?' (2:12:50). Grant leaves us with a heartfelt thought on why college football is important and why it means so much to him (2:16:00). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
