West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Grant provides his full mea culpa in regards to his OU-FAU prediction. Then Lee joins to briefly discuss the transfer of Addison Gumbs (4:45). The guys hold off on OU talk for about 10 minutes while they discuss the most surprising/least surprising things they saw in Week 1 of the college football season (6:50). We watched UCLA-Cincinnati from last Saturday, and Chip Kelly's UCLA offense looked nothing like Chip Kelly's Oregon offenses from years ago. Plus, the Bruins' offensive line looks pretty bad (16:05). Where's the up-tempo Chip Kelly offense we're used to seeing (20:35)? Does it matter who starts at QB for UCLA (26:10)? UCLA's defense looks improved from last year, but we're not sure that means the Bruins will be able to slow down OU (33:05). The guys state what they *want* to see happen on Saturday (40:00) and also what *will* happen (44:00). A listener wants to know if there's a downside to OU blowing out a lot of teams early in the season (45:10)? Running through the Big 12 games to watch this week (51:05). The guys introduce a new segment called "Cross 'em Off" (55:45). Checking in on some other games worth paying attention to this weekend (1:01:10) before we make our picks against the spread (1:09:00). | Email the show: [email protected] | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Lee explains how Kyler Murray showed him exactly what he was hoping to see on Saturday. Then Grant joins to talk about what it's like to catch flack for being so worried about FAU and what he saw from Kyler Murray (6:20). OU's offense was pretty awesome on Saturday (13:25). Grant was impressed with the offensive line, and the guys are not on the same page about a random Kyler Murray rushing play (20:30). Lee loved the play design on Anderson's second TD run and he explains why during "Film Time w/Lee" (27:10). Wrapping up the offensive talk with Austin Kendall's injury before providing a final offensive grade (30:40). Lee saw one potentially worrisome thing from the defense that has not changed since 2017 (35:45). OU slowed down Devin Singletary along with the rest of FAU's offense and we're trying not to get too excited (39:35). The Sooners' defensive line played well, particularly Ronnie Perkins (41:15). Curtis Bolton got the start at WILL, while Caleb Kelly also played significant snaps. Meanwhile, Kenneth Murray did not record one tackle Saturday, but Lee thought Murray looked okay (47:00). OU played nickel along with its base 3-4 against FAU. A lot of players switched in and out in the secondary -- but Bookie stayed on the field at all times (51:20). Both guys give their overall defensive grades (57:40). Lee saw Delarrin Turner-Yell pregame in street clothes with a big brace on his leg, and Mike Stoops said some kind of funny stuff in the postgame presser (59:00). Shane Beamer is immediately noticed on special teams (1:01:40). Grant explains how he watched the OU-FAU game in Amsterdam (1:04:20). The guys finish up by sharing their thoughts on the rest of Week 1 of college football (1:08:05). | Email the show: [email protected] | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9

In the opening take, Grant has an important message for Sooners fans who are taking FAU lightly. Then Lee joins to get an update on Grant's European honeymoon (5:30). We're recording Tuesday, so at this time there still isn't an OU depth chart. Will the Sooners even release one (9:20)? Covering the rest of the news and notes from Lincoln Riley's Monday presser including Justin Broiles being a student of the game and one depth chart question has already been answered (13:30). Is FAU really a top 20-25 team in the nation (20:35)? FAU has a new offensive coordinator and some key pieces returning on offense including one of the best RBs in the nation (22:35). FAU needs to replace three starting offensive linemen, plus the Owls still have an ongoing QB competition (28:40). FAU's 2017 offense reminds the guys of what Chip Kelly used to do with Oregon (34:40). Lee goes over what he's seen on film from FAU's offense (35:55). Grant thinks FAU's offense will try and attack Kenneth Murray plus Grant busts out all the offensive S&P numbers (39:05). A listener wants to know if FAU's big offensive numbers are mostly a result of playing bad competition in 2017 (43:25)? Grant thinks the Sooners need to run blitz against FAU, while Lee provides other ways to attack this Owls offense (47:10). FAU has a new defensive coordinator, so we're not sure if the 2017 film is very useful. Plus Grant dives into FAU's S&P defensive numbers (53:45). Can a Southern Miss game from 2017 give us any clues on what to expect from FAU's defense Saturday (57:20)? Grant found some stats that may support the theory OU's going to be able to run the ball at will (59:55). Lee didn't see much on tape from FAU's best defensive player (1:03:40). The guys explain what they *want* to see from OU in this game against FAU (1:07:30). The guys tell us what *will* happen on Saturday and they each give us a score prediction (1:16:10). Quickly going through some of the Big 12 games worth watching this week (1:21:10). Josh Heupel makes his debut at UCF on Thursday, Lee is already dogging Penn State, and the guys discuss some other interesting Week 1 matchups (1:24:15).
