In the opening take, Lee admits his current excitement level surrounding the OU football team is not as high as it could be. Then Grant joins to express his happiness over the Sooners' win over Baylor (4:50) and he helps Lee better understand why OU's defense is better than last year (8:30). The Sooners' D is not giving up as many big plays this year (14:30). OU's defense seems to make nice players look like great players (17:50). Is it actually a smart strategy for OU to continue this defensive philosophy into the heart of Big 12 play (25:30)? Once again tackling was a problem and it seems like every team falls forward to gain an extra yard or two against OU (29:30). Caleb Kelly had a hell of a game (37:20), it was good to have Marquise Overton back (40:45). Grant calls for Tre Brown to start -- and Lee complains about the secondary's antics (41:30). Army blew out Buffalo on Saturday, which shows Army is not a terrible team (44:40). Did Baylor sell out to take away the run game? It certainly seemed like it (46:50). OU's offense is the most explosive in the country -- but can the Sooners do this against a good defense (51:30)? Kyler Murray has been incredible so far this year and it's shocking how much success he's had (54:30). Lee Morris vs Grant Calcaterra (1:00:00), Kennedy Brooks was impressive (1:01:20). OU was missing significant players Saturday and their status for OU-Texas is concerning (1:05:45). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant's really let that OU-Army game get to his head and he's got no idea what kind of defense the Sooners will play this Saturday. Then Lee joins to push back against Grant's opening take (5:55). Looking back at the 2017 debacle in Waco where OU's defense got lit up by a QB who's currently flipping burgers (10:15). Charlie Brewer looks like he's taken over the starting QB job for Baylor and his arm strength is not great - but he's got above average accuracy (15:35). Baylor's got some talented skill players -- but man, the Bears struggle to run the football (19:30). Lee tells you exactly how OU can limit Baylor's offense this Saturday -- which means we probably won't see the Sooners do any of it (26:10). Grant reminds us that Mike Stoops' didn't have a bad game plan against Iowa State (32:05) and Lee makes sure everybody knows that Duke has once again given OU a blue print on how to limit an opposing team (33:50) because the Blue Devils dominated Baylor a couple of weeks ago (36:30). OU's offense shoudln't have problems moving the ball against Baylor's defense (40:00). The guys explain what they *want to see* from the Sooners against the Bears (43:20). OU-Baylor game predictions plus we pick a winner against the spread (48:20). Chatting briefly about the Big 12 games this week (52:15) including Lee's super homer take on the Texas-TCU game (55:30). Grant wonders if OU could be caught looking ahead to Texas (58:30)? We've got a ground breaking first in "Cross 'em off" (1:00:30). Finally the guys make their weekly picks ATS, and Grant likes a decent amount of games this weekend (1:06:20). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
