West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant looks back at the awesome 2003 OU football team that didn't win it all. Then Lee joins to talk "feel" for this upcoming Orange Bowl (6:20) before discussing Marquise Brown's health (8:10), Kyler Murray's random illness (13:00), and whether or not Albabama suspending three players will have any impact on the game (16:45)? The guys finally closely rewatched the SEC Title game and Lee was encouraged by what he saw, while Grant was the complete opposite (23:15). Will OU be able to run the ball well against Alabama (34:20)? Marquise Brown's health makes discussing the passing game difficult, but the SEC Title game may have provided a blueprint to get fast players in space (44:40). Alabama's defense is just incredibly talented and that's obviously concerning (54:40). Do you believe Tua when he says he won't be 100 percent for the game (58:25)? Will Jalen Hurts play a bunch in this game (1:03:20)? OU's defense is used to playing offenses like this. Does that matter at all (1:06:50)? How many stops does OU's defense need to get to beat Alabama (1:09:00)? OU actually has much better special teams than Alabama. Will that be a factor (1:15:50)? The guys say what they *want to see happen* in the game (1:19:20). Then finally, the guys tell you "what will happen* when OU plays Alabama in the Orange Bowl Saturday night (1:29:15). We wrap things up by answering a few more Facebook questions (1:38:00) and Grant found the CHEEZ-IT Bowl hilarious Wednesday night (1:45:40). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee saw a game recently that made him slightly less worried about Alabama's elite defensive front. Then Grant joins to talk about a listener who called him out on Twitter over the weekend (5:40). We get to a Facebook question regarding Alabama's speedy WRs and OU's limited secondary (9:00). For the first time ever we play "Wouldn't it be cool..." which is a segment where we spitball about things that would be cool to see this Saturday in the Orange Bowl (17:00). Grant finishes the segment with a really good "Wouldn't it be cool..." that involves Alabama's offense and some possible irony (32:30). We list off all the OU players from the past that we would like to see playing vs. Alabama this Saturday (35:10). Who would you rather have playing QB for OU this Saturday: Kyler Murray or Baker Mayfield (37:35)? Lee saw a Twitter poll referencing the best OU QB performances over the past 5 years (41:20). Will we get any clues on Marquise Brown's health this Wednesday (54:30)? Mark Andrews and Orlando Brown are starting for the Ravens and are enjoying very nice rookie seasons (56:55). Are current Orange Bowl ticket prices good news for OU (1:01:25)? | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant's in awe of Lincoln Riley's ability to improve OU's recruiting over the past few seasons. Then Lee joins to talk about whether or not Alabama has seen an offense like OU so far this season (7:20)? The discussion includes a lot of thoughts from Bama's game vs Missouri this year and a few rips on Drew Lock. Could the OU offensive line vs. the Alabama front 7 be the most important matchup of this Orange Bowl (18:10)? The Sooners have not seen a defensive line as good as Alabama all season long (23:00). Diving into Kyler Murray/OU WRs vs the Alabama secondary (28:15). Grant seems to think Alabama could be vulnerable over the middle of the field (31:00). How significant is it that OU has not faced a defense as good as Alabama this year (36:10)? Does it help Alabama's defense that it just faced an offense like Georgia in the SEC Championship Game (39:55)? Unfortunately, Alabama's offense looks really good on film and it's difficult to believe OU's defense will have much success (42:30)? Hey, sometimes Tua actually makes poor throws (45:20)! Lee had a way better idea of what Georgia wanted to do in the Rose Bowl, compared to what Alabama is going to want to do this season (47:20). Is there a chance Alabama could try to play keep away from OU to keep Kyler Murray and the offense off the field (50:20)? Grant's got some thoughts on the early signing period and Lee chimes in when he can (55:00). We kick around some hypotheticals involving Justin Fields transferring to OU (1:02:35). OU's getting a lot of 5-star offensive players, but man it would be awesome if OU could get some 5-stars on defense (1:12:30). Finally, the bowl games so far have been horrible and we complain about the terrible upcoming matchups (1:14:00). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
