  • Ep. 69 - OU's Defense Has Us Questioning Everything. Again.
    In the opening take, Lee takes issue with a bizarre comment from Joel Klatt and recommends that people stop living in the moment so much. Then Grant joins to give the people what they want, which is a discussion about OU's defensive shortcomings against Iowa State on Saturday. Should we be thinking "here we go again" (8:20)? After a lot of negative stuff, Grant brings some perspective and adds positive spin to the defense (21:00). A particular play in the 3rd quarter really annoyed Lee because it was a blown coverage on what should have been a very simple read (27:25). Grant is not happy about drive extending penalties (33:00) and the guys give their weekly Bookie update (35:45). Things start to perk up when the guys switch to the offense. Kyler Murray played his best game as a college quarterback (38:15) and Lee goes over a handful of fantastic throws Kyler made during the contest (42:40). Grant really thinks the Sooners missed Rodney Anderson on Saturday (46:25). Austin Seibert had a great game -- but Grant really hates field goals. And Grant calls Lee out for his thoughts on RBs (50:10). "Film Time w/Lee" breaks down Murray's long 75-yard TD pass to Marquise Brown (56:40). Carson Meier makes his first career catch (1:01:50), everybody hated Grant Calcaterra's fumble (1:03:00), and the guys briefly touch on the weekend of college football (1:04:20). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

  • Ep. 68 - Sizing Up the Cyclones
    In the opening take, Grant says Rodney Anderson's injury devastates the Sooners' chances of a winning a national championship. Then Lee joins to explain that he's taking a wait and see approach to the severity of the loss of Anderson (7:45). For the third straight game in a row OU doesn't know which QB they'll be facing, which guy would you rather face (20:45)? The Cyclones' offense was atrocious last Saturday against Iowa, but does that mean ISU is not capable on offensively (26:15)? OU needs to tackle David Montgomery -- and the guys provide other ways ISU could present problems for the Sooner defense (37:30) before explaining how OU's defense should attack the Cyclones (39:40). What's the deal with Iowa State's defense being really good (42:00)? Baker Mayfield handled the unique ISU defense well in 2017. Does Kyler Murray have the patience and discipline to make plays against the Cyclones (49:00)? Besides an OU win, what do the guys *want* to see happen against ISU(54:50)? The guys tell us what *will* happen Saturday along with their predictions for the game (59:35). A listener question from Facebook asks what makes this OU defense different from others in the past (1:04:00)? Another listener wants to know if OU's offensive line should be concerned about ISU's DL (1:10:30)? The final listener question wants to know about the continuing battle between Creed Humphrey and Jonathan Alvarez (1:12:30)? The guys touch on the interesting Big 12 games upcoming and Lee wants to talk about how everything seems to be going well for Texas A&M (1:14:15). Grant destroys one team's National Title hopes as the guys "Cross 'Em Off" (1:20:55). Finally, the guys pick 5 of the biggest games of the week against the spread (1:24:45). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

  • Ep. 67 - Boat Racing the Bruins Feels Bittersweet
    In the opening take, Lee has high praise for OU's wide receiving duo -- and disdain for Sports Illustrated. Then, Grant joins to discuss the ramifications of the Rodney Anderson injury (4:55). Despite scoring 49 points on Saturday, didn't the OU offense look a little off against UCLA (15:00)? Lee thinks you could really sense the absence of Baker Mayfield on Saturday and Kyler Murray was off at times (18:00). At the same time, Kyler made some plays that only a high level QB could make (22:30). Grant wants to give credit to a few UCLA defenders that stood out to him (26:30). It's clear that CeeDee Lamb and Marquise Brown are the best WR duo in college football (29:15). OU's defense was very good against UCLA -- outside of one huge play (33:20). Mike Stoops called another really good game on Saturday (36:30). Bookie didn't jump off the screen as much as FAU, but he still played well (41:25). Lee loved one Curtis Bolton sack in particular because of the design of the defense (44:10). Kenneth Murray took a huge step forward Saturday (47:10). Hello special teams (49:45)! Grant has noticed the Sooners have had devastating injuries on a consistent basis, plus more special teams talk (51:00). | Email the show: [email protected] | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
