Oklahoma STUNNED In Game That PROVES Something Unexpected! · SEC Football Addiction

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma was 1-0. Michigan was 1-0.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Only one of those records meant anything walking into Saturday.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: The Sooners had just hung 51 on UTEP without breaking
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: a sweat. Michigan needed a Hail Mary on the final
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: play to get past Western Michigan by a point, and
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: they need a controversial clock review to even keep that
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Hail Mary alive. On paper, this wasn't supposed to be close, guys.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Vegas favored Oklahoma by five and a half. On the road,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: the 11th ranked team in the country heading to Ann
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Arbor into the biggest stadium in college football against the
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Wolverines in a second game under a brand new era
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: under Kyle Whittingham, still trying to figure out Bryce Underwood
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: and who the heck he is actually at this level.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: This was not supposed to be the result that we expected.
• 0:50

• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I picked Oklahoma this week. I picked them comfortably.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: This was supposed to be the week that Oklahoma announced itself. Instead,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: it left Ann Arbor with a loss. Brent Venables had
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: already been sounding the alarm all week. After the UTEP blowout,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: he wasn't in celebration mode. He came right out and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: said it. He said, we've got to be a hell
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: of a lot better. Even OU's own radio voice, Toby Rowland,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: spent the week warning that protecting the football would be
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the whole ballgame, that a turnover would hand Michigan exactly
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: the kind of short field that it could not generate
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: on its own. And unfortunately for the Sooners, you guys
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: watching this, he was exactly right.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: That's the part that stings.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Final score, Michigan 17, Oklahoma 10.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Not a shootout, not a blowout. It was exactly what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you expected in a game like this.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: It was a slow, grinded-out, first-ever meeting at the big
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: house between these two teams, and Oklahoma had the chances
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: there to win, but they gave it away. That first-ever
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: part matters, too. This is the third time the two
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: teams have played, and this is the first time Michigan's
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: ever won. Last year, Oklahoma beat Michigan 24-13 in September
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: back in Norman. That game, the Sooners survived the mistakes
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: that they made. They walked away with the win because
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: their defense bailed them out. I don't know if that
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: sounds familiar, but it's the same exact script that played
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: out on Saturday. The only difference is it was Michigan's
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: defense that cashed in on those sloppy mistakes that Oklahoma
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: got away with a year ago. The margin for error
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: on the road in a building that loud against a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: team that is desperate to erase a shaky week one
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was always going to be really thin. And unfortunately for
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the Sooners, they found that out the hard way. Three
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: quick takeaways and we'll get out of here. I know
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: you guys aren't in a good mood. Appreciate you watching.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Hopefully you are subscribed to SEC football addiction. The defense
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: in this game did exactly what it was built to do.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I want to give credit where it's earned. I know
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you're not in for silver linings, but the defense carried
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Saturday almost by itself. Bryce Underwood finished nine of 17
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: through the air for barely over a hundred yards. And
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: for long stretches, he looked exactly like what we all thought.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: He was getting hit in the mouth over and over
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: again by a tough defense. Maybe the toughest he'll see
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: all year. He did have some nice carries. He did
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: some good things with his legs. Obviously, the touchdown play.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: That was the only time, really, that Oklahoma's defense was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: shaky at all. And you knew Bryce would get a
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: couple of things on the ground. I don't think anybody's
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: blaming them for this. But everything else the Michigan Wolverines
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: scored was a gift. Unfortunately for the Sooners, I thought
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Michigan was a better team in all three phases of
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the game. Michigan's punt team was better today. Twice, they
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: pinned Oklahoma deep inside their own territory. And Oklahoma's defense
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: held up oftentimes, forced a field goal on a short field,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: only really gave up that one touchdown that I blame
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the defense for. If you can blame somebody for giving
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: up one score, the Sooners did enough defensively. They tied
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: the game at 10 in the fourth quarter. The defense
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: at that point had done their job. They had erased
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: a 10-point deficit through sheer will. And you knew it
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: wasn't a great day from the offense against a good
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Michigan defense, but you had a chance. The defense, left
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to its own devices, played a good enough game to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: win on Saturday, in my opinion. And it wasn't just bend,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: don't break either. Early in the game, you guys had
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Underwood bottled up. You hit him hard. He even got
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a targeting flag before that call got sorted out. It
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: was a preview of how physical you guys were playing.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: It was not a unit at all that got steamrolled.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: It was a defense playing downhill, playing angry, and well
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: enough that it should have been the story of the
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: day and a win, which is exactly what makes the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: next part so freaking frustrating if you're a Sooner fan.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I'll get right to that, but just really quickly, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: know you don't want to hear any ads on a
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: video like this, so I'll just tell you, make sure
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you are subscribed. Make sure you're subscribed to our audio
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: feeds as well. Oklahoma season is not done. We'll continue
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: to talk about them, but make sure that you are subscribed.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: We would appreciate it a ton. Now, let's talk about
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: takeaway number two. At the end of the day, John
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Mateer wasn't good enough when the game demanded it. I've
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: been singing this kid's praises for two years now, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: he looks the part at times against overmatched competition.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: He's tough. He extends plays. He makes plays with his legs.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: He finished with 19 carries of his own on Saturday,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: but there's a difference with a quarterback who plays well
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: when there's not a lot on the line and a
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: quarterback who can get you a win when the game
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is tied in the fourth quarter.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I believe he had 13 carries. Let me correct that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: just for a moment.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: Saturday was the first real test that Oklahoma will get
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: this year, and it got an answer. Unfortunately, it wasn't
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: the one they wanted. With the defense balling out of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: their minds and holding Michigan to just 10, the offense
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: coming back, Oklahoma's got the ball with the game tied
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: and a chance to either take the field and flip
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it or maybe even take the lead. Instead, Mateer threw
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a pass that had no business going where it went.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Jair Hill read the whole thing. You could see it
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: from the moment it left his hands. You saw the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: defender starting to close, and you just thought, please no.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: He took it back to Oklahoma's own six-yard line, and
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: two plays later, Jordan Marshall was in the end zone.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: It was 17-10, and yeah, the game wasn't over then,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: but I think we all kind of knew what was
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: about to happen. Not enough time left for an offense
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: that couldn't get much going today. Oklahoma did have time
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: to answer, but they never did. The interception wasn't a
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: tipped pass. It didn't look like a miscommunication on a
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: route to me. Maybe Brett will come out and say
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: that it was. Brent Venables will say, hey, man, we
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: had a little bit of a mix-up. It just looked
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: like a veteran quarterback in the exact moment his team
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: needed him to protect the ball, making the worst possible
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: read of the day. And it wasn't even the only giveaway.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma lost a fumble on a screen earlier in the game.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Michigan's short field was set up. Two turnovers, zero for Michigan.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: That was the difference. Give the Big Ten defense of
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Michigan free possessions in a game that finishes seven points apart,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: and this is what's going to happen. Now, the box
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: score is going to say that Matera threw for close
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: to 200 yards and ran for another 45 yards. But
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: it won't tell you that when Oklahoma needed one single
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: possession to have an answer, the guy with the ball
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in his hands gave it right back to the other sideline.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: And crunch time is when you find out what a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: player truly is all about. Saturday, Oklahoma get a partial
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: answer that I don't think that they would have wanted
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: to get. Roland called it again in the preview. Unfortunately,
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Mateer lived it out on the field. Takeaway three, this
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: offense never found a rhythm. And I think it cost
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: them big time in this game. I know you can't
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: take them away fully, but you had two really nice drives.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: And outside of that, it just was not good enough.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: And Michigan's defense is really good. But Oklahoma today was
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: just a unit that could not consistently move the ball
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: against them. They entered Saturday after last week's game without
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: a proven pass rush. A defense that by its own
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: broadcaster's admission during the week was Michigan's biggest question mark
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: heading into the game. Oklahoma had the ball late with
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: a chance to answer after Michigan went up by seven
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and they couldn't really get anything done there. It was
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: still a very winnable football game at that point. Oklahoma's
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: final possessions came up empty though. Michigan was able to
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: run out the clock before finally punting with just over
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a minute left and Oklahoma couldn't do anything with that either.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Sacked on the last play of the game and unfortunately
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: on the wrong side of the scoreboard. I don't think
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: this is a talent problem for Oklahoma. I don't think
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: anybody's questioning the playmakers on this roster. I think it's
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: an execution problem. In the moments where the margin for
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: error is zero, Michigan's own defense had just watched this
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: offense sputter through most of the second half, too.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: This was there to be taken.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's offense had one job on Saturday. Don't hand the
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: defense's effort back to Michigan for free. And it failed
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: at that job twice. In two moments, they decided the
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: final score. Think about how this week actually started. Oklahoma's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: own play-by-play voice went on the air days before kickoff
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and said out loud, the ball security would decide this game.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Not the pass rush, not the run defense, ball security.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Everyone around this program saw the exact blueprint for a
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: loss before it happened.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: And the offense somehow walked right into it anyway.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Here's the part that would worry me if I'm an
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma fan more than just the loss itself. Venables spent
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: the entire week talking about turnover margin about discipline about
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: the things that don't show up as flashy as a
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: touchdown but he said they decide games anyway he wasn't
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: even necessarily talking about Oklahoma when he said those things
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: he was breaking down how Michigan somehow survived Western Michigan
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: despite losing every single one of those categories And then
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: his team went out and did the exact thing that
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: he had spoken about all week. This was not a
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: talent problem. It was a discipline problem, plain and simple.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: A turnover problem and making the wrong read at the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: worst possible time. It was an offense that couldn't finish
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: drives when it mattered. A quarterback who is showing you
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: that he needs to grow in those moments.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: And that was the difference in the game.
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma will not be a top 11 team anymore, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: the season is not over.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: The schedule, though, does not get any easier.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Next Saturday, Oklahoma gets one more reprieve before Georgia comes
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: to town, or before you go to Georgia is maybe
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the better way to say that. A game in Athens
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: will absolutely test them just like this one did. And
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: if Saturday's performance travels down to Athens the same way
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that they played in Ann Arbor, this will be a
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: lot more than just a one-loss speed bump. It'll become
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: a road trend and not a good one. Brett Venables
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: has two weeks, and he also has a defense that
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: can play with anybody in the country right now.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I think we all agree with that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: What's not real yet, though, and what still has to
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: be earned, is an offense and a quarterback capable of,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think they can match how good the defense is,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: but at least playing close. Oklahoma didn't lose on Saturday
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: because they weren't good enough on paper. They lost because
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: when the moment showed up, their quarterback handed the game
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: directly to the opponent. And their offense never gave the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: defense's effort anywhere to land. I think that's on them.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: I also don't think that Georgia's going to wait around
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: for them to figure it out. So the same way
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: that Michigan responded from the Central Michigan game, Oklahoma now
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: has 14 days to figure out how to do the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: same exact thing.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I picked you guys. I believed in you. I thought
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: it was you guys that were going to win.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: I was wrong.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You were wrong. All that's fine, right? It stinks.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: We got to move on from it. But they've got
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: to figure some things out real quick there in Norman.
• 12:19
