West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant lays out an uncomfortable truth that we all have to acknowledge by now. Then Lee joins to add a little bit of positivity to the equation. (5:30) Next Lee says some nice stuff about KU and then forces Grant to say some nice stuff about the Jayhawks (11:00). Let's be honest, Kansas sucks (16:20). Lincoln Riley was defiant on Monday when it came to the OU defense and Dusty Dvoracek came after the Sooners defense this week (21:45). We never see OU's defense change anything, BUT Lee has one SIMPLE fix that could help OU get off the field one or two more times per game (26:30). We say what we *want* to see happen vs. Kansas (35:00) and what *will* happen (36:15). Colin Cowherd has some nice things to say about OU as we bring back the "Hot Take of the Week" segment (39:10). Lee threatens to give his Playoff rant soon, but then the guys go in on stupid people who think a 4 team playoff is perfect and it should not be expanded (46:30). Taking a look at the CFP rankings which did not change much at all (52:20). Taking a quick look at the garbage Big 12 games this week (55:00) followed by our picks where we touch on the really nice Big 12 games of the week (57:05). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take we hear from Lincoln Riley after Bedlam, then Lee admits his outlook on the rest of the season has changed. Following that, Grant joins and the guys immediately question OU's defensive game plan against OSU. It just did not make any sense (4:45). Grant makes a really good point about OU's continued incompetence in defensive game planning (12:55). We start looking ahead to the offseason and possible changes for the defensive coaching staff (16:25) before we go in on the terrible play by the secondary (18:00). For some reason OU felt like playing a base 4-3 with Caleb Kelly on the field predominantly was a good idea (20:45). Lee thinks people making Mike Stoops related jokes are losers (22:45). Quickly Lee praises Neville Gallimore's play in Bedlam (25:00). Then it gets serious as we wonder if Lincoln Riley will ultimately make the right decision when hiring a defensive coordinator (26:10)? It turns out the "keep it simple" approach by Ruffin McNeill has some drawbacks (30:55). WHY DOES OU KEEP DROPPING 8, IT DOESN'T WORK (35:40). OSU committing a false start actually helped them late in the game because OU's defense is so bad (45:55). The offense was awesome again and the terrible defense is forcing Kyler and co. to be perfect (47:20). Time for "3 Word Reviews" and we kick things off by talking about OSU's failed 2-point conversion attempt where the Sooners got very lucky (56:00). In a weird way, is it actually better to be a fan of OU compared to a fan of Alabama (1:15:50)? Virginia Tech got embarrassed by Pitt and more random college football talk to close things out (1:20:50). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant says this college football season has been pretty terrible -- and he's got plenty of evidence. Then Lee joins to talk about Grant's opening take and read a couple listener thoughts on the state of the 2018 college football season (6:35). A listener pointed out that it looked like Cody Ford got spit on during the Tech game, which prompted that punch (13:30). We wonder if Bookie will play this Saturday (18:30)? OSU's offense has been incredibly inconsistent this season, but if OU's game plan is similar to Tech it play right into OSU's hands (20:35). Grant explains how he'd like to see OU defend the Cowboys (24:00) and then Lee breaks down the play of Taylor Cornelius (25:15). Grant thinks Tylan Wallace is awesome and clearly OSU's best player (29:50). It looks like OSU's offensive line isn't very good and that's made it difficult for Justice Hill, who recently talked trash on Instagram (31:30). Watch out for Chuba Hubbard and also Cornelius running the ball (36:30). Which OSU offense are we going to see this Saturday (40:40)? OSU has a new defensive coordinator this season, but the Pokes defense still isn't very good (41:40). OSU uses Jordan Brailford in a bunch of clever ways on defense (45:00). The Sooners should be able to find success running the ball against OSU (48:20). Is blitzing Kyler Murray the best way to slow him down (50:50)? The guys say what they want to see this Saturday (51:40) and then make their predictions for Bedlam (54:00). We respond to a listener comment about all the stuff happening at Maryland and Grant is not happy at all about this story (56:45). Briefly touching on the Big 12 games this week (1:12:40). We're thinking that "Cross 'em Off" is dead (1:14:35) and Lee isn't all that interested in the CFP Rankings right now (1:16:00). Finally, we see if Grant can follow up his 4-1 week with more winners as we make picks against the spread (1:20:50). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
