Oklahoma Source REVEALS Something that SURPRISED Me in Red River Shootout! | Texas Longhorns · SEC Football Addiction

  Speaker 1: Welcome back to SEC Football Addiction. We are presented by PrizePix.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: All new users who play a $ 5 lineup using code
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: HMA get $ 150 in lineups if they win. Cole, Red
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: River this weekend, the over-under is under 40 right now.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: And I feel bad. the only thing that gives me
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: pause is if Oklahoma's defense finally just gives in because
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: their offense hasn't done enough. I, I think the under
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: is the play here, despite how low this total already is. And, uh,
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, Texas offense has been clanky. I could, it
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: was six, three last year at halftime before the damn
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: kind of opened. They didn't get anywhere close to 40
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in that game. But, uh, just if you're Oklahoma here,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: really from this perspective, uh, Is there a realistic path
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: to victory outside of the rivalries are incredibly weird and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: things happen in this game that you don't expect? Like
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: just an actual football path to victory. Like what is that?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So I can't say, Oh, well it's red river.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: And because of that, yeah. If your defense is able
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: to do what Tennessee did and you can keep it
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a low scoring affair, yeah, maybe. I mean, like, let's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: be real. You're going to need your special teams to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: step on up really big in this game. Tate Sandell
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: is going to have to probably make at least two
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: or three kicks from 50 yards out, 50 plus yards
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: out to be able to kind of hold that advantage.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: And you're going to have to force some turnovers. I
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: think that's the bottom line. The best offense for Oklahoma
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: in this game is probably their defense getting a pick
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: six against Arch Manning or forcing a fumble against Relique
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Brown or Hollywood Smothers. It just is the way it is.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I got my questions with how they're able to run
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the football. I got my questions with the offensive line.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I got my questions of wide receivers not named Isaiah
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Satanga that can step on up in this game. And
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I got my questions for John Mateer, who probably is
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: going to start and probably is going to play four
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: quarters unless he gets hurt. Because to be completely fair,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you have a good enough backup
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: option to come on in and help you right this shit.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: You had a bye week to be able to go
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: through all of the negatives that were going wrong with
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: your team, get healthy on the offensive line to get
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: back a lot of pieces like Michael Fasucci being a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: big time deal at left tackle. But right now it
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: still is so hard to trust this offense and you're
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: going up against an elite defense. So I think that
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the under is the easy play to go, but I
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: will say it's Red River. Last season, I was confident
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: after looking at how heinous the offense was for Texas.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: The Oklahoma was going to roll through this game. They
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: got blown out. They didn't get blown out in the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: first half, but when you give up a Ryan Niblett
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: punt return for a touchdown, that's all I need to
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: know about how bad it was offensively for both sides.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: One of the big reasons you scored is because of that. Which,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: to be fair, it may have to be this season
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Satanga getting that 67-yard house call on the punt
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: return to be able to win this game. And you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: know that you can do it because a week ago,
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Quay Moss was able to get a punt return for
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: a touchdown that made it a three-point affair against Texas.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Tennessee's offense didn't score until the final 40 seconds. They
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: were held to zero points for 59 minutes. You could
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: do that if you are Oklahoma, but you're going to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: need something else to step on up, whether it be
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: a turnover inside the red zone or a punt return
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: for a touchdown or a kick six return. Something's got
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: to happen to help you get a little bit more
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: of an advantage.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: How effective do you expect? I think Texas has the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: best defense in the conference. I mean, Tennessee's is really
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: good too. There are other good, Georgia certainly has a
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: good defense. Missouri played really well this weekend in a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: nice matchup for them against Florida. But I think Texas
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: and what they've shown is really, really good defensively, especially
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: when they locked in. Even that Ohio State game, I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: thought you had short fields, you had points off turnovers
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: for Ohio State, you had The fourth and one, you know,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Ohio State only had to go so far. So I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: think their defense has been really good all year. I
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: know the offense is clunky. How effective do you feel
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: like Mateer can be offensively?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Your guess is as good as mine. I mean, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: genuinely hope this. I hope that Ben Arbuckle this past
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: week took his offensive playbook, lit it on fire, and
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: then set it out like a Viking funeral. That's what
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: I hope because of what you're looking at right now
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: is beyond embarrassing. To a level of where I think
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: even Oklahoma fans would have to sit here and say,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: we know in a Red River shootout, when we know
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: in this type of game that anything is possible, if
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that offense takes the field, we have no shot. So
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I hope that they have changed up so many different ideologies,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: getting a playbook that has the tight ends more involved
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: with Rocky Beers and Hayden Hansen. I think the one
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: thing that you got to look for is that you
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: can't afford short field position. I mean, like, let's be real.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Go back to that Michigan game. Michigan's offense has been
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: terrible this season. They've had one really solid performance and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: even still they put up 19 points against Iowa. What
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: was the big difference maker? The missed shots, but to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Rocky beers or to an Isaiah Satanga or to a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Hayden Hanson, whoever else was out there that at trial Harris,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: when he was still healthy, And the turnovers. I mean,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: they got a turnover that allowed them to have a
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: short field position to let Bryce Underwood and company be
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: able to make plays. I mean, like, that's just where
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: you are at this point. So you have to be
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: able to not have the short field position to the
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: turnovers in this game. Mateer's got to play a clean
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: football matchup no matter what. You can't afford to put
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the football on the ground, whether that be as a runner,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: whether that be as a passer. And again, you got
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to give credit where credit's due. All the turnovers have
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: not been on material. You had a Rocky Beers fumble.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You had a Parker Livingston fumble in the matchup in
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: week two. So there's been opportunities to where other people
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: have put the ball in arm's reach for teams to
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: be able to capitalize. But this is going to be
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: one of those games where he is going to have
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: to pick up first downs with his legs. He's going
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to have to be critically decisive on how he wants
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: to go ahead and and target his receivers in the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: open space. And he's going to have to do so
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: in a timely manner because if the offensive line is
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: still banged up and they're not able to have their
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: front five or their best five starters out there, hey,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: to break it to you, this is the best defensive
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: line that Oklahoma is going to go up against this season.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: And by the way, it's not just a Colin Simmons
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: going off for five sacks. You got Alex January to
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: worry about. You got Manad Watson to worry about. You
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: got delayed billets from Raheem Biles in the back end.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Hiro Kanu could flip on in. You have depth at
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: the other defensive end position. So, like, there's an opportunity
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: to where this could be a very long day for
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: John Mateer if that offensive line can't hold. And he's
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: sitting and trying to second guess and third guess which
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: read do I go target. And I don't have anybody
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: on open. Honestly, maybe the best game plan in this
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: matchup is look, you throw it 15 times and you
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: run it 25. Because if you had 25, I'm not
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: saying it's going to be great, but if you can
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: get past that first and second level of the defense,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you at least are picking up first downs and keeping
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the ball out of harm's way.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Just before we go on, I will give some love
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: to our new Top 25 poll. A lot of you
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: are like me and you hate the AP poll, so
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I created a better one. You can log in right
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: now and for free, go create your own Top 25 poll.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I'm setting up reminders. I'm working on aggregating national college
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: football analysts that we all know and love and respect,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: or maybe even hate just to get theirs in there
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: as well. It's super slick. The user interface is really,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: really easy to use. You log in one time with
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: your Google account and you are all set. I'm not
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: going to spam your email. I'm not trying to sell
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you anything. There's no ads on here. If somebody would
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: like to put an ad on there, please let me know.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: But it's just a place where we can go collectively
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: as fans vote on the poll. the top 25 in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: college football. We're going to work on a college ball
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: playoff one once we get closer to November, but go
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: check this out. It's CFA top 25.com link is in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the description. I'll pin the comment, go check it out
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: right now. So looking back at the Georgia game for Oklahoma, well,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: even if you back up and you look at last
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: year's Texas game, they held them to six points in
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the first half, right? And now the Texas offense was
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: clunky then. And it's clunky now, if we're being honest
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: with ourselves, we'll see what they've, during a bi-week. But
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: when you look at just the, the way that Georgia
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: started this game three and out against Oklahoma three and
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: out touchdown, touchdown, punt, touchdown, obviously there was a fumble
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: return in there as well that gave them more points,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: but the five offensive touchdowns, punt, touchdown, touchdown, punt, touchdown.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: If Texas gets off to that, and I think Georgia
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: has a better offense than Texas, but Texas has the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: weapons and we'll see what they look like. The fact
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: that Georgia scored three times offensively in that first half
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: against Oklahoma to kind of remove a lot of early doubt.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Does that worry you that Oklahoma's defense may not be
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: able to play up to the level that we thought?
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Or is it just kind of a mindset of like, man,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: if you're Oklahoma's defense, you know, you got to be perfect.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: And that's just a lot to play with. because of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: how bad their offense is. Just thoughts about what their
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: defense can do against, admittedly, a clunky Texas offense.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's be real. Georgia's offense, when it
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: wants to be, can be lethal. It can punch you
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: in the face, and it can go ahead and knock
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you out. I don't think Texas is there yet. Now,
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Texas has the pieces to get there, but at the
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: same time, I got my questions with the offensive line.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: They really weren't able to run the football efficiently in
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: that matchup against Tennessee. You relied very heavily on the
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: explosives downfield from Arch Manning. And he had some very
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: impressive throws. You cannot sit here and say that that
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: one pass to Bishop right at the corner is not impressive.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: It's just there were too many highlight plays and not
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: enough consistent plays. That's where I think that you maybe
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: be able to hold this to a low scoring affair,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: force a couple of punts early on. But the thing
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is that you also can't afford for the offense to
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: give short field position. I mean, because you also mentioned–
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: you said the fumble return, which is one thing. You're right.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: What happened on the very next play, the next drive?
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: They threw a pick, right?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: They threw a pick. So it's like you even after
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: the Chris Cole.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And then they had a fumble to play. Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: And then they punt.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: They close the three now in a fumble. It was
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: three turnovers in 20 plays.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: And then it was a two-play touchdown drive because of,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: what was it? Short field position. So that's the main
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: thing is that the defense is going to, I think,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: be able to play up to par at least for
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: three quarters against Texas. I really love this defensive front.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I think that having David Stone fully healthy, you avoided
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: a massive, massive injury that could have been detrimental to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: your run defense. This could make Arch Manning have to
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: throw downfield. And I still like this secondary with the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Bowens and what you have with Guillory at the cornerback spot.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: There still is a lot to like about them being
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: able to force turnovers, which is very possible in this
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: game for Oklahoma. But your offense can't do the exact
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: same thing when you get short field position. Or if
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you end up giving up a field goal and now
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: it's 3-0. You can't be marching down the field and
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: then at the midway point, oh no, here's a strip
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: sack and now the ball is leading in favor of Texas.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: So that's a big thing is that this offense right
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: now has still not found its rhythm. But the one
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: thing I said was that while Oklahoma had a bye week,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Texas had a bye week. So Texas got healthy. Texas
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: was able to look at the film and say, this
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: isn't working for us. This is what we have to
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: rely on. Hollywood Smothers did not play in that game
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: against Tennessee. And I'm not here to say that Hollywood
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Smothers is the reason why Texas should be the most
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: intimidating factor for any roster out there. But you can
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: see clear as day which is the running back that
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: stirs the drink and which is the one that capitalizes
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: inside the red zone for points. Like there is a
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: difference between what Smothers does at an inefficient rate and
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: what Brown does at an efficient rate. So if he's
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: fully healthy in this game, you're going to have to
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: game plan on how to control him behind the line
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage like Tennessee did being able to win through
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Leak Brown and not also give up the explosives downfield.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: It's just a lot of things that need to go
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: in favor of an Oklahoma team. But I'll be real.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: I've watched Oklahoma in the past look downright awful and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: they found a way to win. I've watched Texas in
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: the past look downright unplayable and I've seen them come
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: out on top. So, I mean, this is one of
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: those games to where you do have to kind of
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: throw logic out. You just need one or two really
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: good quarters and a break or two that lean your way,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: and it's going to lean in your favor to taking
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: home the Golden Cowboy hat. It just is.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Nine and a half point spread, Texas' way. Any way
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that Oklahoma covers that, and give me a score.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Well, number one, as a native Texan that has gone
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: to this game multiple times in his life, I never
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: will ever, ever, ever bet on the Red River Shootout. Which,
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: by the way, is the only name you're allowed to
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: call it. I don't want to hear this AT &
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: T Red River rivalry crap.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: That's not what it is.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: You don't bet on this game. Because you're either going
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: to lose money or you're going to lose years off
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of your life wondering when is the score going to
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: actually bode in our favor. So I'm just like, don't
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: touch it. Just leave it alone. There's a world where
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Texas can easily cover this. They still have weapons like
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Cam Coleman and Ryan Wingo, and Jermaine Bishop I think
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: is going to be a bigger factor in the offense
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: this week. They still have a really good run game,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and they have a defensive front that has no quit,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: that can get after you, that can make a lot
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: of plays, that can make life pure hell for you.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: But on the flip side, I think that Oklahoma may
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: have enough with the game plan in motion on what
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: they know is going to have to work for this
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: game to actually bend their way. to probably lean into
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: it and make it a four-quarter battle. I think that
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: while there are so many things to love about this
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: defense for Oklahoma, while there are so many things to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: like about what maybe you can get with the receivers
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: or tight ends in space, I just can't trust John
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Mateer right now. And I think that even with a
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: week-long of practice to be able to... Implement a new install.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: Make things work with a tight end usage. Get a
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: little bit trickery with it. This is still a game
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that Texas is probably going to be able just to
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: play enough in the fourth quarter to pull away late.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: I will say this. If you make me pick right now,
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I think Oklahoma covers the 9.5. I don't see a
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: scenario where they don't. So I take Oklahoma with the points.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: But I think Texas wins by a touchdown. 24-17. It's
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a really good defensive game. I think there's one or
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: two turnovers by both teams that are really critical on
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: scoring opportunities. I think Oklahoma capitalizes on one. Maybe Texas doesn't.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But late in the game, I think you're just going
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: to see one more explosive play from the offensive Texas.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Something like a busted run of 65 yards from Hollywood Smothers.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: To pull away late.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I like it.
