Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: You know it's game week, right? And the reason why
- 0:04Speaker 1: you know it's game week is because we got two things. One,
- 0:06Speaker 1: Brent Venables had his press conference. Him and Ben Arbuckle.
- 0:10Speaker 1: We'll make a video on that later this evening when
- 0:12Speaker 1: I can go back and watch it and make some notes.
- 0:14Speaker 1: But the second thing that drops every game week, depth chart, baby.
- 0:18Speaker 1: So Oklahoma released its first depth chart of the season.
- 0:22Speaker 1: And there was a lot of things on there that
- 0:24Speaker 1: jumped out to your boy. So of course, we had
- 0:27Speaker 1: to make a quick video on my lunch to talk
- 0:29Speaker 1: about it before we do that. Welcome to Sooner or
- 0:31Speaker 1: Later Sports, part of the Unfair Sports Network. I'm your boy, Jay.

- 0:45Speaker 1: It's game week. Me and Coop, of course, went live
- 0:47Speaker 1: on Sunday. Go check it out. Please go support the
- 0:51Speaker 1: hard work that Coop is doing in providing you some
- 0:53Speaker 1: quality analysis. At the same time, support me just because
- 0:57Speaker 1: you like me, because I know I suck. But I digress.
- 1:00Speaker 1: We got depth charts, baby. And there's a lot of
- 1:02Speaker 1: things that jumped out to your boy on it. But
- 1:04Speaker 1: I want to talk about the main thing, which is
- 1:06Speaker 1: the main thing. We got depth charts. So, of course,
- 1:10Speaker 1: Oklahoma decided to give us the number I told y'all
- 1:13Speaker 1: they would. I set the over under at nine on
- 1:16Speaker 1: the live stream about two weeks ago. I said it
- 1:20Speaker 1: would be about nine. Coop was saying seven and a half.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I said nine. He picked under. I said way over.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Shout out to our guy Oni Kuno. Sean, he had
- 1:28Speaker 1: actually said 19 was the calculation for him. He was close.
- 1:32Speaker 1: They did 17 ors on the first depth chart. That's
- 1:37Speaker 1: a lot. Yeah, it's a lot. So that means it's
- 1:41Speaker 1: going to be a lot of opportunities for a lot
- 1:42Speaker 1: of people to play. And the only reason why I
- 1:44Speaker 1: knew it was going to go over nine and a half,
- 1:47Speaker 1: why I knew it was going to be 10 plus
- 1:48Speaker 1: is first game of the season. playing UTEP, who returned
- 1:52Speaker 1: some talent on defense, but basically refreshed their offense. Malachi Nelson,
- 1:57Speaker 1: the former five-star quarterback that Lincoln Riley had recruited to Oklahoma.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Y'all remember him? He went with them to USC, but
- 2:03Speaker 1: he's been bouncing around since. He was the quarterback there
- 2:05Speaker 1: last season. He was actually the quarterback that was giving
- 2:08Speaker 1: Texas problems when Texas was up seven to three at
- 2:12Speaker 1: the half. So in that case, I looked at it like, nah,
- 2:18Speaker 1: I think we should be good. Feels like they feel
- 2:21Speaker 1: the exact same way. They're playing around with a lot
- 2:24Speaker 1: of setups of who they got going out there. And so, yeah,
- 2:28Speaker 1: this is going to be fun. Now, there were a
- 2:29Speaker 1: few things that jumped out to your boy that I
- 2:32Speaker 1: thought was very intriguing. We're going to go on both
- 2:35Speaker 1: sides of the ball. We're going to look at the
- 2:36Speaker 1: offense and we're going to look at the defense and
- 2:39Speaker 1: talk to you about the oars that really jumped out.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Before we continue, shout out to our partners at Enterprise Picks,
- 2:46Speaker 1: the presenting sponsor of the channel. You can check them out.

- 2:55Speaker 1: And so it's easy to get going. Let's make a
- 2:57Speaker 1: couple picks real quick. I didn't touch US Open because
- 3:00Speaker 1: it's not safe for me. But I will do some baseball.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I've been actually winning a couple baseball stuff a little
- 3:05Speaker 1: bit later, a little bit lately. Eli De La Cruz,
- 3:09Speaker 1: we're going to take you on the more. Give me
- 3:14Speaker 1: some less on the junior. I mean, he's been going up,
- 3:18Speaker 1: but let me see. Hmm. Yeah. You know what? Let's
- 3:22Speaker 1: give me total basis. Hmm. Give me less on that.
- 3:30Speaker 1: And then we're also going to ride with a little
- 3:32Speaker 1: bit here with, okay. He called Armstrong. He's been a
- 3:38Speaker 1: very much up and down person. I'm going to take
- 3:40Speaker 1: him on the more, you know what? Now we take
- 3:41Speaker 1: six and a half. We'll take more. Pick two or
- 3:43Speaker 1: more players, more or less in the stats. And then
- 3:45Speaker 1: of course you're in there. And if you win and
- 3:47Speaker 1: you play five, you'll get $ 150 in bonus lineups if
- 3:51Speaker 1: you hit. So check them out, play it, follow me
- 3:54Speaker 1: on Unforgiven Sports so you can outdo me and always
- 3:56Speaker 1: gamble responsibly. Let's take a look at this. You've got offensively,
- 4:03Speaker 1: Of course, so Whip Neubauer and Bo Bentley will be
- 4:06Speaker 1: oaring there at the quarterback spot. First thing that jumped
- 4:08Speaker 1: out to your boy, Lloyd Avant is right now leading
- 4:11Speaker 1: as the number one back, but he's an oar with
- 4:14Speaker 1: Xavier Robinson, which means you're going to see both of them.
- 4:16Speaker 1: And it appears Torrey Blaylock's healthy enough to be right
- 4:19Speaker 1: above Jonathan Hatton. So I expect seeing all four backs
- 4:24Speaker 1: in this game, which is awesome to hear because that's
- 4:29Speaker 1: who we want to see that. We want to see
- 4:31Speaker 1: a bunch of run-ins. Someone put a bold prediction on
- 4:33Speaker 1: Sunday's show. Again, go check out that live stream. It
- 4:35Speaker 1: was a fun one. They said that they want to
- 4:39Speaker 1: know if we can get two players to rush for
- 4:45Speaker 1: over 75 yards in that game. I actually kind of
- 4:48Speaker 1: expect it. I'd be very disappointed if we don't. Let's
- 4:51Speaker 1: put it that way. Next thing up, Parker Livingston leading
- 4:57Speaker 1: the way with an or with Elijah Thomas, a.k.a. ET, a.k.a.
- 5:02Speaker 1: the kid from Dakota, a.k.a. the player that y'all was
- 5:04Speaker 1: hoping was going to be out there on the field.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Good chance we see ET playing in this game. Not
- 5:12Speaker 1: surprised by tight ends, but I am a little shocked
- 5:15Speaker 1: on the offensive line. It appears that Ryan Foggia will
- 5:19Speaker 1: be your starting center against UTEP. Now, me and John
- 5:22Speaker 1: talked about it over Lockdown Sooners actually this morning that
- 5:25Speaker 1: Foget talked about doing center and he had been in
- 5:28Speaker 1: that role for about a week after Micah went down.
- 5:32Speaker 1: It was him and Noah Best rotating there. So it
- 5:36Speaker 1: sounds like they... feel the most confident with Foggia today
- 5:41Speaker 1: as the center. And I get it. The main reason
- 5:43Speaker 1: why I get it is Foggia was right there with
- 5:46Speaker 1: Fabechi Wewu, who also played center for Oklahoma against LSU,
- 5:50Speaker 1: as well as in the playoff game and did a
- 5:51Speaker 1: fantastic job. Foggia was next to him all the time.
- 5:56Speaker 1: Like he was next to him as a right tackle
- 5:57Speaker 1: for a bit. He was next to him when he
- 5:59Speaker 1: played right guard as well. You felt like, oh, okay,
- 6:03Speaker 1: there's something there. I think that he probably learned a
- 6:06Speaker 1: lot from Foggia. Wei Wu, as you know, like I said,
- 6:09Speaker 1: they spent a lot of time together last season on
- 6:11Speaker 1: the line. But Nitta is your second one. That was surprising.
- 6:16Speaker 1: And I say that because that means Noah Best is
- 6:18Speaker 1: going to play right guard, right? Well, he's in the
- 6:20Speaker 1: or action with Heath Ozaida. That's what I'm talking about.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Heath sounds like he's healthy. Heath's ready to go out
- 6:28Speaker 1: there and prove it because every year, Heath did a
- 6:30Speaker 1: really good job of basically winning the right guard spot
- 6:33Speaker 1: or the left guard spot. He's been a really good
- 6:35Speaker 1: job of winning the guard spot. But then he gets
- 6:37Speaker 1: injured and then we don't see him again. We'll see
- 6:40Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, but that's a solid one. Next up, though,
- 6:42Speaker 1: McKenzie Alene right behind Isaiah Satania at the H, which
- 6:46Speaker 1: is your slot guy. And then Z, of course, is
- 6:49Speaker 1: Trail Harris by himself with Manny Choice right on his tail.
- 6:53Speaker 1: Buddy offense is going to be fun. Now, defense, though,
- 6:59Speaker 1: defense had some additional pieces that I was like, oh, OK,
- 7:03Speaker 1: this looks good. Looks like we got something cooking here.
- 7:08Speaker 1: First off, on the defensive side of the ball, you
- 7:10Speaker 1: have Wyatt Gilmore has won the outright fourth edge right
- 7:15Speaker 1: there with Taylor Wine. It's him because P.J. Adebowale and
- 7:19Speaker 1: Daniel Collier are oars, but Jake Creel is right there
- 7:24Speaker 1: in the mix with those three. Love it. P.J. and
- 7:29Speaker 1: Danny being your oar, as expected, but it sounds like P.J.
- 7:32Speaker 1: may actually be the starter. Trent Wilson and Nigel Smith
- 7:36Speaker 1: is interesting because now you have Nigel in here twice.
- 7:40Speaker 1: He's going to play either one of the two that
- 7:42Speaker 1: they need him to do. Bishop Thomas is most likely
- 7:45Speaker 1: the one right behind Stoney. But I thought that was interesting. Weight-wise, though,
- 7:51Speaker 1: Stone's up to 315. And Jake Jackson actually dropped down
- 7:55Speaker 1: to 306, which is interesting. But I think he's going
- 7:58Speaker 1: to pop himself back up. But Nigel Smith's at 300,
- 8:02Speaker 1: so he's at the spot you want him to be.
- 8:03Speaker 1: And Tank Carrington is one of the freshmen in there.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Him and Jake Curley are freshmen on the interior. Now,
- 8:09Speaker 1: this is where it really jumps out to your boy.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Listen to me. This is interesting. They got three linebacker
- 8:16Speaker 1: sets on here. You heard me right. Y'all haven't seen
- 8:19Speaker 1: this before. You got your Mike and your Will, two
- 8:23Speaker 1: typical two linebackers, but they added a Sam linebacker, which
- 8:26Speaker 1: is a strong side linebacker. So, in other words, if
- 8:30Speaker 1: you've ever played Madden or any of the games, it's
- 8:32Speaker 1: usually strong, weak, and middle. Strong, middle, weak. Weak, middle, strong.
- 8:40Speaker 1: You know, that's where you got Mike, your wheel, and
- 8:42Speaker 1: all that comes from. But they got him as a Sam,
- 8:44Speaker 1: which is fascinating that they put Cole Sullivan out there
- 8:47Speaker 1: as Sam linebacker. He's right behind Owen Heineke as the Mike,
- 8:51Speaker 1: but he's right there as the... He's also Sam. Him
- 8:53Speaker 1: and Nesta. So, it sounds like Nesta is going to
- 8:55Speaker 1: be playing a combo of... Big Cheetah with Cole Sullivan
- 9:03Speaker 1: on top of playing the wheel position while Cole Sullivan
- 9:07Speaker 1: plays the mic. So we're probably going to keep our
- 9:10Speaker 1: standard set, two linebackers with the Cheetah, but there's going
- 9:13Speaker 1: to be moments where you'll have a 4-3 defense. That's crazy.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Very intriguing that BV's going to do that. Then, of course, Cheetah,
- 9:20Speaker 1: you knew who was going to be RP3. Probably play
- 9:24Speaker 1: mostly Cheetah all the time, but they're going to have Cheetah.
- 9:26Speaker 1: And then you've got Newcomb and LeBron Bauer, the true freshman,
- 9:31Speaker 1: right there with Newcomb. Also, true freshman Dane Bathurst is
- 9:35Speaker 1: here on the depth chart at 6'4, 231, just the
- 9:38Speaker 1: same size as Coach Sullivan. Bathurst is going to be
- 9:41Speaker 1: a beast. Just understand your boy when I say it.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Dane Bathurst is going to be that dude. He is.
- 9:47Speaker 1: Very surprised that I don't see Marcus James on here.
- 9:50Speaker 1: Very surprised, but we'll see. Corners, not much of a surprise.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Tristan Haynes on there, but he's in the or with
- 9:58Speaker 1: Dakota Fields, and Dakota Fields is in the or on
- 10:00Speaker 1: both cornerback spots, so he's right behind Tristan Haynes as
- 10:03Speaker 1: well as Jacoby Johnson, which means they think that Dakota
- 10:08Speaker 1: Fields can be a field and a boundary corner. There
- 10:13Speaker 1: you go. Man-Man playing both safety spots with an or with...
- 10:21Speaker 1: Michael Ford at the strong right behind Peyton Bowen. And
- 10:23Speaker 1: at the free, he's got Nico Jandrell bite behind him.
- 10:27Speaker 1: Like some of y'all have asked me about the Jandrell brothers.
- 10:31Speaker 1: Looks like Jandrell brothers are in. Like we got one
- 10:33Speaker 1: of them a little healthy. He ready to go. Then
- 10:36Speaker 1: of course, Eli as usual, but Jacoby and Tristan Haynes
- 10:39Speaker 1: are your three and four corners. Fun stuff. The other
- 10:44Speaker 1: one though, the last one really here is going to
- 10:46Speaker 1: be in the special teams that is Grayson Miller has
- 10:50Speaker 1: won the punting spot. Tate Sandell's your kicker with Liam
- 10:54Speaker 1: Evans and Trace Rudd as your oars. They're backups right
- 10:59Speaker 1: behind Titanium Leg. But your punter, Grayson Miller, he won
- 11:05Speaker 1: it over Jacob, which I am very surprised about. But hey,
- 11:08Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. But you may still have Jacob
- 11:10Speaker 1: there going as well. And one of the last ones
- 11:14Speaker 1: here is on the kick return, Lloyd Avant and Jonathan Hatton.
- 11:17Speaker 1: So your two running backs are going to be your
- 11:19Speaker 1: kick returners. Punt returning still is going to be in
- 11:22Speaker 1: the hands of Satania with Jacob Jordan and Trail Harris
- 11:27Speaker 1: as a third option in the punt. Wow. Stuff's a
- 11:34Speaker 1: little crazy. So we got our first depth chart. It's
- 11:36Speaker 1: going to be very interesting to see what Oklahoma decides
- 11:39Speaker 1: to do and what they actually decide to put on tape.
- 11:41Speaker 1: Let me know what y'all think. Hop in those comments.
- 11:42Speaker 1: Want to hear your thoughts. Any surprises on that list?
- 11:47Speaker 1: I want to hear from each and every single one
