West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

*NOTE: This episode was recorded BEFORE we learned that Mike Stoops had been fired. Look for an emergency podcast to be released soon.* In the opening take, Lee explains that we've seen more than enough evidence that it's time for OU to make a change on defense. Then Grant joins to question Oklahoma's football program (8:50), Lee starts ranting about random defensive stuff and his horrible prediction for that game (11:20). OU's defense is so bad that we don't even know what they should have done differently because we don't know what good defense looks like anymore (13:45)? Grant begins unpacking all the mistakes OU's defense made vs. Texas (17:25) before Lee starts ranting again (19:30). Grant tries to figure out why OU's defense always looks confused, while opposing offenses never look confused (24:25). I think we can say after six games it's clear that Bookie is playing out of position (29:40). The entire OU defense can't tackle it would seem (33:20), Grant says the Sooners are really bad at safety (34:15), and it's very difficult to tell if the players are bad or it's all scheme (35:00). Kyler Murray loses the first game that he started and finished since he was a small child (39:15), Grant brings up an innocuous play that actually summed up this game (41:35), plus OU's offense was tremendous (43:25). If Brent Venables was still at OU things would be lit (43:45). We finish up with some listener comments from Facebook and we're convinced that Texas has never missed a field goal against OU (47:20). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant sets the stage for one of the bigger OU-Texas games in recent memory. Then Lee joins to talk about Grant's cat he named "Baker Meowfield".
