West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast

In the opening take, Lee provides an update on what to expect from the show in the coming weeks. Then, Grant joins to explain why he would never get married during football season (5:25). Grant thinks this has been a very secretive OU Fall Camp (7:20). A "West of Everest" source has info from the Sooners first scrimmage which leads into a discussion about Austin Kendall's legitimate chances of starting Week 1 (10:15). Moving to the linebackers where Caleb Kelly and Kenneth don't have starting spots locked in (16:15). The guys go off on a random sidebar about Delarrin Turner-Yell (18:05). Back to the linebackers where Grant refuses to believe Murray and Kelly are in danger of losing their jobs (21:45). It sounds like Justin Broiles is the leader for the FS job (24:20). The guys update their predictions on who will start for the defense on Day 1 (27:25). A listener asks the age old question about Big 12 offenses vs SEC defenses (45:10). Is Kansas State a team who could actually be good this season (54:50)? Lee is still very nervous about the Iowa State game (59:00). Baker Mayfield looked really good in his NFL Preseason debut, and Grant brings up a pretty legendary QB when he's discussing Baker (1:02:15). Lee contends the Vikings defense got embarrassed last season in the NFC Championship, and Grant doesn't think it's fair to rag on the Vikes. It's a pretty random sidebar for an OU football podcast (1:06:45). | 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 outlines the main position battles you need to pay attention to at Sooners fall camp. Then Lee joins to talk about Nate Hybl and the 2002 Big 12 Champoinship game (8:55). Kyler Murray and Lincoln Riley don't seem to be on the same page as Murray's agent (11:55). Lee has a possibly crazy theory as to why OU is not publicly saying this is Murray's final year playing football (19:15). Starrland Baldwin will miss the season (23:00). Rodney Anderson and a couple other notable players were limited Monday at practice, but this doesn't seem to be a big deal (25:10). Lee was at practice Monday and he offers a few observations that stood out to him (28:35). It's weird that we're all kind of overlooking Trey Sermon, and Grant has a super interesting theory about Sermon's possible role this year (30:15). The guys discuss the center position battle because they disagree on who will win the job (34:20). Quick sidebar to talk about Orlando Brown's nice performance in the Hall of Fame Game (36:15). Lee got a chance to talk with Cody Ford on Monday and asked him about that rotation with Bobby Evans, and Ford's transition from guard to tackle (37:50). Grant triggers Lee by mispronouncing Bill Bedenbaugh's name which leads to Lee ranting about people getting Marcus Mariota's name wrong (43:30). Twitter is telling Grant that Drake Stoops looks impressive and the guys breakdown a video tweeted by OU Football (46:45). Due to technical difficulties, Lee explains why we had to cut the show short today (49:00). | 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 has an update on the OU secondary position battles heading into fall camp and brings up one question that hasn't fully been answered yet. Then, Grant joins to talk briefly about Baker Mayfield's positive training camp so far with the Browns (6:10). Grant describes an unfortunate story that dominated OU's "ChampU BBQ" over the weekend (9:50). Shifting back to the Sooners' secondary as Lee explains why he's not thrilled about the idea of a base Nickel defense. Grant tells us how a Nickel defense could be a good thing (18:30). Grant is puzzled by the strong safety position battle, while Lee tries to provide a little context (24:05). Lee isn't concerned about the safety positions because DBs switch positions all the time and OU's got a lot of talent back there (28:00). What about the cornerbacks? Kerry Cooks says something that all OU fans probably thought last year and Grant loves himself some Tre Brown (30:40). Bill Bedenbaugh provides some clarity on Bobby Evans and Cody Ford's roles at each tackle position (32:50). So, when is Bill Bedenbaugh going to get a head coaching job offer (38:50)? Calvin Thibodeaux has some very honest words about Neville Gallimore and the guys talk more about the defensive line as a whole (40:00). Tim Kish confirms that Curtis Bolton is definitely competing for a starting job and more linebackers talk (46:50). We begin the "Listener Question" segment with an inquiry about Marcelias Sutton's role on this team (51:30). The guys give reasons why the defense could be better than last year (55:40). Is Bookie a better player at CB or at safety (59:45)? Any threat that Austin Kendall transfers if/when Murray wins the starting QB job (1:01:30)? Going over the best case and worst case scenarios for OU's 2018 season (1:04:30). We do an early CFP prediction and Grant has a surprising pick (1:12:45). Finally, the guys discuss whether this is a do or die season for Mike Stoops (1:21:40)? | Email the show: [email protected] | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
