- 1:19Speaker 1: We are finally back. We enjoyed a little bit of
- 1:21Speaker 1: the bye week, and you were traveling around watching soccer matches.
- 1:25Speaker 1: How's it going?
- 1:26Speaker 2: Doing good.
- 1:27Speaker 3: I mean, listen, this week is a fun week, and
- 1:31Speaker 3: to start off a fun week, I almost had to
- 1:35Speaker 3: throw some hands in Kansas City.
- 1:38Speaker 1: We'll talk about that later because that's going to be
- 1:39Speaker 1: a fun story for later on today.
- 1:42Speaker 3: But outside of that, man, Thunder basketball last night. We
- 1:45Speaker 3: got playoff baseball going on. You can walk outside and
- 1:51Speaker 3: not need to come in and change your clothing because
- 1:53Speaker 3: you just went through it in eight minutes.
- 1:55Speaker 2: So, you know, life is good. Life is good.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Weather has been optimal here, right? Like it's been hot enough.
- 2:03Speaker 1: yet also cool enough. So I went out for a
- 2:07Speaker 1: walk this morning. I was like, oh, it's kind of chilly.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And then like, I left this afternoon to go make
- 2:11Speaker 1: a run. I'm like, oh dang, it's hot. And so
- 2:15Speaker 1: this is exactly what I expected to feel like in
- 2:17Speaker 1: Texas when I get down there. I'll be at OU
- 2:19Speaker 1: Texas and I'm pretty excited about going to go watch
- 2:24Speaker 1: some football. I'm just hoping that they don't embarrass me
- 2:26Speaker 1: in public. That's literally the only thing that I asked for.
- 2:28Speaker 1: And if they can do a good job of that,
- 2:31Speaker 1: that's a possibility. So of course, we're going to hate
- 2:33Speaker 1: Texas like we do every single year, this time of year.
- 2:36Speaker 1: We're going to hate on them as much as possible
- 2:39Speaker 1: because I'm going to be 100% honest and I agree
- 2:41Speaker 1: with Gabe and Teddy. This feels like a very much
- 2:43Speaker 1: beatable team. And it's more of a, if you lock
- 2:47Speaker 1: in in the third and fourth quarter, that's when the possibility,
- 2:51Speaker 1: usually late in the third quarter, the possibilities are endless. Now,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I know a lot of people's biggest fear is can
- 3:01Speaker 1: our offense do just enough to get us over the hump?
- 3:04Speaker 1: And I'm going to say this. I think they can.
- 3:07Speaker 1: I think we can. Because we're going to start off
- 3:09Speaker 1: with the conversation of Brent Venables and Ben Arbuckle's pressers. Coop,
- 3:19Speaker 1: did you get a chance to see the notes that
- 3:21Speaker 1: were flying around from those press conferences?
- 3:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:27Speaker 3: Instead of getting into details, I guess it, you know,
- 3:30Speaker 3: I think a lot of us have always thought We're
- 3:34Speaker 3: watching this offense. We see the offensive line struggles. We
- 3:38Speaker 3: see the struggles from the quarterback. We see the struggles.
- 3:42Speaker 3: And you're chirping about we could have been better on defense.
- 3:46Speaker 3: And I think that what they finally did is they
- 3:48Speaker 3: finally acknowledged that this is not what we were looking for.
- 3:54Speaker 3: We expected more. We still expect more. And even like
- 3:58Speaker 3: John Mateer, I know I haven't played well I'm blessed
- 4:04Speaker 3: to be able to play this game. And I think
- 4:09Speaker 3: that hopefully through, you know, the past week and a half, it's,
- 4:14Speaker 3: you know, somewhere along the, guys, we're here.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Why the hell not just play? Yeah.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Like, yeah, you've done, you know, we can't change anything
- 4:23Speaker 3: about Georgia, New Mexico, Michigan. But you get another shot
- 4:28Speaker 3: to go out in the field on Saturday and change something.
- 4:32Speaker 3: And whether that's as an individual, like that would get
- 4:35Speaker 3: me fired up is, you know what, you know, I
- 4:39Speaker 3: can do something a little bit better. I can just
- 4:42Speaker 3: grind on this block a little bit, you know, a
- 4:44Speaker 3: little bit longer. I can, you know, sink my hips and,
- 4:48Speaker 3: you know, break my route cleaner. Like there's so many
- 4:50Speaker 3: different things that that can make you kind of think about.
- 4:53Speaker 3: So that's kind of where I got is, hey, yeah,
- 4:55Speaker 3: you know, let's get some acknowledgement. And we still are
- 4:59Speaker 3: going to play this game. We're still going to get
- 5:00Speaker 3: out there. And, you know, it's funny that I heard the,
- 5:05Speaker 3: we still haven't played our best football yet.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I mean, on one side of the ball, we still
- 5:11Speaker 2: haven't played good football yet.
- 5:12Speaker 3: So that's, you know, at least something you got to
- 5:15Speaker 3: look forward to is we don't even need the offense
- 5:18Speaker 3: to be their best.
- 5:19Speaker 2: We just need them to be good.
- 5:22Speaker 1: Yeah. We just need you to show up. We just
- 5:24Speaker 1: need you to be consistent. Yeah. and consistent as in
- 5:30Speaker 1: just move the chains. Like you don't have to be great.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Like you don't have to put up 300 yards in
- 5:33Speaker 1: this game to win it. This is one of those
- 5:35Speaker 1: games where, I mean, last year we were, it was three,
- 5:37Speaker 1: three at the half. It kind of tells you everything
- 5:39Speaker 1: you need to know, right? Like this is going to
- 5:41Speaker 1: be a defensive battle. Once again, it's going to be
- 5:42Speaker 1: a chess match and you're going to see Sark do
- 5:45Speaker 1: whatever he can to get, get the ball out of
- 5:47Speaker 1: Arch's hands as fast as possible. They're not going to
- 5:49Speaker 1: try for a bunch of big shots. They're going to
- 5:51Speaker 1: try some big shots. We're not going to try a lot.
- 5:53Speaker 1: It's because Sark understands. I don't want Arch to keep
- 5:57Speaker 1: getting hit. That is really going to be the mindset.
- 6:00Speaker 1: Like Quinn was getting hit in 23. Get rid of
- 6:03Speaker 1: that thing as fast as possible. Just don't turn the
- 6:06Speaker 1: ball over. Get rid of the ball as fast as possible.
- 6:09Speaker 1: That is going to be their focal point. And that's
- 6:12Speaker 1: what our defense is going to have to be prepared for.
- 6:14Speaker 1: And we're going to have to try to make, we
- 6:16Speaker 1: have to create some turnovers. It's going to be critical.
- 6:18Speaker 1: But I did like seeing, so Stoya asked BV about
- 6:22Speaker 1: the inconsistencies on the offensive line and Bill Beaton Bowen.
- 6:28Speaker 1: He said, It's been inconsistent and incredibly disappointing. Transfer Portal,
- 6:32Speaker 1: the number one reason, a very uneven job in terms
- 6:34Speaker 1: of who they've added, way too many guys coming and
- 6:37Speaker 1: going at the position group. It's very unstable and certainly
- 6:40Speaker 1: not the development you'd want. So kind of as you
- 6:43Speaker 1: mentioned in here, Sooner Cowboy, don't sound like a very
- 6:48Speaker 1: shining endorsement for BB. And I get it. At this point,
- 6:54Speaker 1: We've got enough evidence. Three years of regression in the
- 6:57Speaker 1: run game. You come in this year with a very
- 7:00Speaker 1: veteran-type offensive line, a lot of dudes that have played
- 7:02Speaker 1: a lot of football, and you can't get the most
- 7:05Speaker 1: out of them right now. That's kind of a recipe
- 7:08Speaker 1: for disaster. It's a recipe for, okay, you're done. Like,
- 7:11Speaker 1: I know others wanted him gone before. I totally understood
- 7:14Speaker 1: why y'all said y'all wanted him before. To me, it
- 7:17Speaker 1: was still a, I need him to get actual players
- 7:20Speaker 1: that have been here for a bit. Get him some,
- 7:22Speaker 1: get him a little bit of veteran presence underneath him
- 7:23Speaker 1: and let's see. And I am, you're always going to
- 7:26Speaker 1: have that viewpoint because unfortunately you can't just fire everybody
- 7:30Speaker 1: every single year. Like, no school will ever be able
- 7:33Speaker 1: to do that because you've never seen a school do that.
- 7:34Speaker 1: Every single year, fire and replace every single body every year.
- 7:37Speaker 1: It's just, cost-wise, you'll never get it. You'll never get
- 7:40Speaker 1: anybody worth a damn to take the job if you're
- 7:44Speaker 1: doing that, right? Sometimes you've got to give them time
- 7:47Speaker 1: to get theirs going. So for me, with him, it was,
- 7:50Speaker 1: let's go spend some money in the portal, bring in
- 7:52Speaker 1: some players, and half the guys that left us, kind
- 7:57Speaker 1: of playing, kind of not, got it. That has been
- 8:01Speaker 1: the thing that I've blamed BV for year one was
- 8:05Speaker 1: that he was too nice coming in in 2022 and
- 8:10Speaker 1: giving people a chance. I understood why he did it, though,
- 8:14Speaker 1: because that's its character. And he knew that the recruiting classes,
- 8:17Speaker 1: there was talent. But yet and still, he should have
- 8:22Speaker 1: cleaned house.
- 8:23Speaker 3: Period.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Period. He should have cleaned house. He should have, he
- 8:29Speaker 1: stripped it to the studs, but he should have got
- 8:31Speaker 1: rid of the studs too. Should have been a full demolition.
- 8:35Speaker 1: It should have been basically the Georgia dome when it exploded,
- 8:39Speaker 1: but you should have had the Marta park right in
- 8:41Speaker 1: front of us and nobody see it. That's what it
- 8:45Speaker 1: should have been. It should have been a complete explosion,
- 8:50Speaker 1: but nobody see it. That is where the problem lies.
- 8:53Speaker 1: We didn't see it. We saw it. We synced it.
- 8:59Speaker 1: We should have completely cleaned. And if anything, being both value,
- 9:06Speaker 1: keep them as an analyst, as a scout with BV
- 9:11Speaker 1: like he did with Kevin Wilson when he first got
- 9:13Speaker 1: him there. Cool. And that holds on to relationships with
- 9:18Speaker 1: the players that do love him. But they're not playing
- 9:21Speaker 1: like they love him. And that's actually what my problem was.
- 9:25Speaker 2: And, yeah, so, you know, the number one thing was
- 9:29Speaker 2: if you get rid of Bill Biedenboe, do you lose recruits?
- 9:31Speaker 2: Do you lose players, et cetera?
- 9:34Speaker 3: I think that this has been such a large sample
- 9:37Speaker 3: size at this point that I don't think it matters anymore.
- 9:40Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Like, do I want every single player to stay around
- 9:44Speaker 3: and get better?
- 9:45Speaker 2: Sure, I do.
- 9:47Speaker 3: I want Fasusi sticking around. I want Fojay staying around.
- 9:50Speaker 3: I'd like to see Best and Deacon Schmidt, all these guys.
- 9:57Speaker 3: But at this point, if you have to... make that
- 10:01Speaker 3: change at the end of the year, whether it's keeping
- 10:03Speaker 3: him on as an analyst or getting rid of him,
- 10:06Speaker 3: is it going to be different if Asusi and Fojay
- 10:09Speaker 3: leaves and you bring in a new crop, a new offensive,
- 10:11Speaker 3: you know, because if you bring in an offensive line coach,
- 10:13Speaker 3: he's probably going to have a few guys that he's
- 10:15Speaker 3: had a conversation with here and there. And then Jay,
- 10:18Speaker 3: you got to whip out the wallet. and get after
- 10:21Speaker 3: it with the transfer portal. Because I think that no
- 10:24Speaker 3: matter what happens by the end of this year, you
- 10:27Speaker 3: probably need to go and get– I'm in the five
- 10:31Speaker 3: to six offensive linemen out of the transfer portal and
- 10:35Speaker 3: just bodies because the production has gone down. The only
- 10:42Speaker 3: out I'll give Bill Biedenboe is– when you go through
- 10:46Speaker 3: the injury issues and some of the head case issues
- 10:49Speaker 3: that we've seen, you know, you got Jake Taylor, you
- 10:52Speaker 3: got Jake Sexton, you know, you have guys who, you know,
- 10:57Speaker 3: played on the team. And I just won't, I won't
- 10:58Speaker 3: talk trash about, you know, guys who just kind of
- 11:01Speaker 3: save you on bird.
- 11:02Speaker 2: You got guys like that who were the future of
- 11:04Speaker 2: your team.
- 11:07Speaker 3: And when those guys were, I'm sorry, I could go,
- 11:10Speaker 3: I could keep going, but you got guys like that.
- 11:14Speaker 3: And really the only guys that have been great out
- 11:17Speaker 3: of the transfer portal was guys like a Walter Rouse,
- 11:20Speaker 3: you know, a Mattier, guys like that who just were
- 11:24Speaker 3: veteran dudes and came in and you couldn't, you know,
- 11:28Speaker 3: you couldn't break their good habits that they had three
- 11:30Speaker 3: or four years, you know, invested in. So at this point,
- 11:34Speaker 3: I think that if Asusi and Fojay leave because Bill
- 11:37Speaker 3: Beanbow gets fired, it's, I mean, your worst case scenario
- 11:42Speaker 3: is you're building with a new guy. But regardless, Oklahoma
- 11:46Speaker 3: and Jim Nagy, they need to be having conversations right
- 11:50Speaker 3: now about getting the donors to come in and give
- 11:56Speaker 3: money for offensive linemen because you need to bring in
- 11:59Speaker 3: five or six out of the transfer portal and just
- 12:02Speaker 3: get this thing back on track.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Yeah, to me, you do one of two things, and
- 12:08Speaker 1: I don't think you do– Both. I don't think you
- 12:12Speaker 1: do the second thing. One thing is, I have a correction.
- 12:15Speaker 1: I don't think you do the first thing. First thing
- 12:17Speaker 1: is you clear out the offensive staff and you let
- 12:20Speaker 1: Arbuckle go find people that matches what he wants to do.
- 12:23Speaker 1: I don't think you do that. I've been on record
- 12:26Speaker 1: saying this numerous times, and this is absolutely nothing against Arbuckle,
- 12:29Speaker 1: because I do think that I've seen him do some
- 12:32Speaker 1: creative stuff out there and make some things happen. He
- 12:35Speaker 1: just needs somebody that's going to actually let the ball
- 12:37Speaker 1: out of his hands and let it go forward. To
- 12:39Speaker 1: where it's like out of his hands.
- 12:41Speaker 2: Not backwards?
- 12:42Speaker 1: Not backwards.
- 12:43Speaker 2: Forward. Okay.
- 12:44Speaker 1: Into a receiver's hands that wear the same color as them.
- 12:49Speaker 1: But I've seen him draw some stuff up. But I've
- 12:53Speaker 1: been on record saying this. This should be his last season.
- 12:57Speaker 1: And I can say there's nothing against him. But he's 29.
- 13:00Speaker 1: And it does not look like he can run the
- 13:05Speaker 1: pro-style offense that they are asking him to try to run.
- 13:09Speaker 1: It's just not there. He can go aerate it out
- 13:14Speaker 1: in another conference, and he'll do really good. I actually
- 13:17Speaker 1: think Ben Arbuckle is a really good offensive coordinator when
- 13:19Speaker 1: you give him the tools and the pieces he needs
- 13:21Speaker 1: to run his offense. He ain't doing it here. It's
- 13:25Speaker 1: time for him to go. I think you clean house
- 13:28Speaker 1: on the offensive side. I'm going to say beating Bo's
- 13:33Speaker 1: probably got to go. Kuzieski with Ben. It's got to go.
- 13:37Speaker 1: You keep Witten. You keep McCullough. If you decide to
- 13:42Speaker 1: spend on wide receivers, you're probably going to end up
- 13:44Speaker 1: keeping EJ. Or you let him go and get somebody else.
- 13:48Speaker 1: But you need to clean house.
- 13:50Speaker 3: Something.
- 13:51Speaker 1: Something. And then at that point, you need to get
- 13:54Speaker 1: on the– the way Brent was talking, it felt like
- 13:59Speaker 1: that portal going to be jumping. As in January, it's
- 14:02Speaker 1: going to be busy for this channel. We're going to
- 14:05Speaker 1: be on here live all the time. We're going to
- 14:08Speaker 1: be talking about people, who's new folks coming in. We're
- 14:12Speaker 1: going to be talking about all that. That's what it
- 14:14Speaker 1: feels like. But the biggest thing is you need to
- 14:17Speaker 1: go hire somebody, an offensive coordinator that– you can get
- 14:22Speaker 1: a couple of really good years out of. Because I'm
- 14:24Speaker 1: gonna repeat it one more time. You're not keeping an
- 14:27Speaker 1: OC longer than three years. One to three years is
- 14:29Speaker 1: all you getting out of OCs because they typically get
- 14:32Speaker 1: jobs somewhere else. Granted, if you do go get someone
- 14:36Speaker 1: like a Chip Kelly, He ain't leaving for a head
- 14:38Speaker 1: coaching job. He's just leaving because he'd like to leave.
- 14:41Speaker 1: He's going to leave for an NFL job as an
- 14:43Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. He shifts around a lot. But you clear
- 14:48Speaker 1: out all of that. Let your offensive coordinator make the
- 14:51Speaker 1: deciding factor of who they want to bring in. Get
- 14:53Speaker 1: you a true CEO. Now, I'm going to preface that
- 14:58Speaker 1: also with one problem you run into with that. This
- 15:01Speaker 1: is your biggest issue with all of this, Coop. And
- 15:04Speaker 1: this is the thing that's been running through my brain.
- 15:07Speaker 1: How many jobs are going to be open? What jobs
- 15:11Speaker 1: are going to be available?
- 15:13Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:13Speaker 1: Who ends up shocking us by firing their coach? Remember,
- 15:16Speaker 1: Penn State firing Franklin was a shocker.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Who was it? Who was the other one? Michigan. The
- 15:30Speaker 1: Jerome Moore. That was a shocker. Like, there's a lot
- 15:33Speaker 1: of jobs that just come out. I know Arkansas may
- 15:35Speaker 1: pop up again. North Carolina may end up open. We
- 15:39Speaker 1: don't know. I don't think Clemson will, but hey, it's there.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Everybody's been speculating about Florida State for a bit. Could
- 15:45Speaker 1: Florida State finally fire Norvell? My point is, the best
- 15:52Speaker 1: that you guys are going to want, some ain't going
- 15:55Speaker 1: to try to hire him. And you got to hope
- 15:59Speaker 1: that you can find a coach that's actually going to
- 16:02Speaker 1: be available.
- 16:04Speaker 3: And, you know, you didn't even throw in the surprise
- 16:07Speaker 3: retirement because you always get a surprise retirement or somebody
- 16:11Speaker 3: who's stepping down. And, you know, maybe an offensive coordinator
- 16:16Speaker 3: is the head coach in waiting. And so instead of
- 16:20Speaker 3: him becoming available now, he's going to stick around.
- 16:23Speaker 1: And South Carolina, Cal, Cal is a Cal is that
- 16:28Speaker 1: is a. Wow, you think it's bad? Here, go look
- 16:30Speaker 1: at that. Jeez Louise, they've already got rid of their
- 16:33Speaker 1: play caller. And they got one of the better quarterbacks
- 16:34Speaker 1: that everybody wants to hit the portal.
- 16:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:38Speaker 3: JKS looks like a JK right now because, I mean,
- 16:42Speaker 3: the whole scheme is just jacked up.
- 16:45Speaker 2: And he can't.
- 16:46Speaker 1: Y'all would hate him here. Oh, y'all would hate him
- 16:49Speaker 1: so much.
- 16:50Speaker 3: And that name will be tossed around. that name is
- 16:54Speaker 3: going to be tossed around. That name is going to
- 16:56Speaker 3: be tossed around the, the Oregon state quarterback. His name
- 16:59Speaker 3: is going to be tossed around because they're likening him
- 17:02Speaker 3: to mess to maker. Um, but whatever it is, is,
- 17:07Speaker 3: and I saw the chat, you know, everybody says, well,
- 17:11Speaker 3: why would you not blame Jason Whitten? Well, I think
- 17:13Speaker 3: because the tight ends had trouble blocking it's New Mexico and,
- 17:17Speaker 3: you know, a little bit against Georgia, I think, cause
- 17:19Speaker 3: the whole run game scheme is just jacked up.
- 17:21Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 17:21Speaker 3: And because, you know, uh, Hanson didn't forget how to block.
- 17:26Speaker 3: That didn't happen. But whatever it is, they'll say fool
- 17:32Speaker 3: me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
- 17:39Speaker 3: BV does take a lot of blame in this. He
- 17:43Speaker 3: has gone about this in a way to where it
- 17:46Speaker 3: wasn't feasible. Sometimes people can come up with these great
- 17:49Speaker 3: ideas and conceptually they sound phenomenal. And any naysayer, you know,
- 17:54Speaker 3: who brings up stuff there, you know, they've got like,
- 17:57Speaker 3: you know, you know, speaking points around that, that they've
- 18:00Speaker 3: convinced themselves. And so obviously with, uh, you know, with, uh,
- 18:06Speaker 3: the first OC hire with Jeff Levy, that's, that's great.
- 18:08Speaker 2: Right. And then, you know, who comes along? Yeah.
- 18:12Speaker 3: And people wanted him out of here. And then, you know,
- 18:15Speaker 3: you go with Latrell and that one went sideways. And
- 18:19Speaker 3: that one, I think was a bad choice. And then,
- 18:22Speaker 3: to go out and get an air raid guy and say,
- 18:24Speaker 3: all that stuff that you did, we're not going to
- 18:26Speaker 3: do that.
- 18:27Speaker 1: We're going to do a little different.
- 18:29Speaker 3: And you couple all that with the young offensive line,
- 18:33Speaker 3: and I still hold on to this. The only thing
- 18:36Speaker 3: that I don't blame on Bill, I do blame on
- 18:40Speaker 3: just the entire staff across the board, is when the
- 18:43Speaker 3: offensive line has continued to struggle time and time again,
- 18:46Speaker 3: I don't feel like we've gone after the numbers like
- 18:48Speaker 3: we should have. And when that happens and you have
- 18:53Speaker 3: the injuries to the older guys, you have these pups
- 18:57Speaker 3: going up against a mean defense all spring, all fall,
- 19:03Speaker 3: and then doing practice. And it's hard to tell Michael
- 19:08Speaker 3: Fasuccia at 18 years old, hey, that's Marvin Jones Jr.,
- 19:12Speaker 3: that guy right there is Dominic Williams, that's Grayson Halton,
- 19:15Speaker 3: they're all going to be heading to the NFL tomorrow.
- 19:18Speaker 3: I need you running 75 to 100 snaps a day
- 19:21Speaker 3: in practice against them. They can't ever get fully healthy
- 19:25Speaker 3: because they're getting the shit beat out of them.
- 19:27Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 19:29Speaker 2: Forgive me.
- 19:30Speaker 3: But you're getting the crap beat out of you every
- 19:33Speaker 3: single day, and eventually it's going to catch up to you.
- 19:37Speaker 3: And so this new staff, it just needs to be
- 19:41Speaker 3: a situation where it is a CEO type of offensive
- 19:44Speaker 3: staff I don't hold anybody.
- 19:48Speaker 2: I mean, I'm counting Witten. I'm counting... Dave McCullough.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Everybody has to be available to go if the new
- 19:57Speaker 3: OC calls for it.
- 19:59Speaker 2: Now, if you want to make a case for Witten.
- 20:02Speaker 3: And don't make it be a deal breaker because it
- 20:04Speaker 3: seems that, you know, there's a lot of whispers around
- 20:06Speaker 3: that Faulkner wanted to bring in some guys and we
- 20:09Speaker 3: didn't want to get rid of tenured guys. So I'm
- 20:12Speaker 3: thinking you get a whole new guy that comes in.
- 20:14Speaker 3: He's let him do all of the cooking and then,
- 20:17Speaker 3: you know, you sync up with Nagy and then go
- 20:19Speaker 3: from there. But you need to let the new OC
- 20:21Speaker 3: do all of his stuff. If that's the route that
- 20:23Speaker 3: we go. Yeah.
- 20:25Speaker 1: That's all you got to do is prove everybody right
- 20:27Speaker 1: or wrong. We can go figure out getting some pieces.
- 20:30Speaker 1: But to me, Um, I, I, Ben has spoken a
- 20:36Speaker 1: lot of things that he say, and I would like
- 20:38Speaker 1: to see if he's gonna, if he's going to put
- 20:44Speaker 1: together the gimmies like he keeps saying he's gonna do.
- 20:47Speaker 1: He keeps talking about gimmies. He talks about layups, both
- 20:50Speaker 1: of them. All right, go out there and make these
- 20:54Speaker 1: layups happen. Go get the layup drill going and get
- 20:57Speaker 1: everybody practicing that. Get rid of that darn ball as
- 21:00Speaker 1: quickly as possible. Texas is going to load the box.
- 21:03Speaker 1: They're going to let their corners play on the island
- 21:05Speaker 1: because they don't believe in our wide receivers. They don't
- 21:07Speaker 1: believe the quarterbacks will even throw it to them. So
- 21:09Speaker 1: they're going to be having everybody on the island. They're
- 21:11Speaker 1: going to be like, go ahead and beat us. That's
- 21:13Speaker 1: how Muschamp likes to do it. Put them on the island.
- 21:17Speaker 1: See what you can do. My athlete's better than yours.
- 21:20Speaker 1: We got to show that our athletes are better than theirs.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Go set some plays up, set some misdirection, and set
- 21:25Speaker 1: some crossings to where you get some layups so you
- 21:28Speaker 1: can quickly get rid of the ball. That's going to
- 21:31Speaker 1: be critical. I'm actually curious how much they're actually going
- 21:33Speaker 1: to blitz in this game. That is the thing that
- 21:35Speaker 1: intrigues me the most.
- 21:38Speaker 3: I mean, at this point, it seems like if you
- 21:41Speaker 3: let John Mateer just have his own ways, he's going
- 21:43Speaker 3: to help you out more than he's going to help
- 21:45Speaker 3: his own team out.
- 21:46Speaker 2: So why would you?
- 21:49Speaker 3: And they're going to have a bracket on Satania because
- 21:52Speaker 3: they're going to say, he's not going to beat us.
- 21:54Speaker 3: We're not going to play a close game and all
- 21:56Speaker 3: of a sudden let him get loose for a big,
- 21:57Speaker 3: long touchdown. So I think that you need to be
- 22:00Speaker 3: thinking from the manner of, all right, let's do something
- 22:05Speaker 3: for any of the other wide receivers. That's going to
- 22:09Speaker 3: have to happen is you're going to have to design
- 22:11Speaker 3: some plays up for whoever else is out there. I
- 22:13Speaker 3: would love to see Parker Livingston all of a sudden
- 22:15Speaker 3: show up this year on Saturday.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Do I think it's going to happen? Not so much.
- 22:21Speaker 3: But you got a Manny Choice. You got an Elijah Thomas.
- 22:25Speaker 3: You've got Rocky Beers. There's a lot of options that
- 22:28Speaker 3: you have. And Texas is going to, I mean, they're
- 22:32Speaker 3: going to say, if you want to beat us over
- 22:33Speaker 3: the top, you're going to have to prove it because
- 22:35Speaker 3: we don't think it's going to happen. Yep.
- 22:38Speaker 1: And putting together a... Like I said, bringing in a
- 22:43Speaker 1: coach that runs one scheme and asking him to change
- 22:45Speaker 1: it up completely into something else has shown that it's
- 22:47Speaker 1: a disaster. Now he's running his offense. Let's see if
- 22:50Speaker 1: he can figure out a way to get the ball
- 22:52Speaker 1: out quickly and make something happen. I don't know. We
- 22:54Speaker 1: were moving the ball on Georgia. We just kept giving
- 22:56Speaker 1: the ball away. Like in the most comical Wile E. Coyote,
- 23:01Speaker 1: Looney Tunes way possible. We need to get rid of that.
- 23:03Speaker 1: Once we get out of that, I think we should
- 23:05Speaker 1: be fine. Which will make me mad if they go
- 23:09Speaker 1: out there and have a really good game and make
- 23:11Speaker 1: it happen. Because This Texas defense is good. They actually
- 23:14Speaker 1: have a really good, Colin Simmons is the top 10 pick.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Stones also top 10, top 15 pick. So both defenses
- 23:21Speaker 1: are going to feast. Like I was talking to my
- 23:23Speaker 1: Texas guy that drops tomorrow over a lot on Sooners.
- 23:26Speaker 1: And he's just like, yeah, y'all defense is good. This
- 23:31Speaker 1: offensive line is questionable. They can't get, they can't get runs.
- 23:35Speaker 1: And they picked up two backs yesterday. And Relique and
- 23:39Speaker 1: some others can't run the ball like they want to.
- 23:42Speaker 1: They're not happy. Like Texas fans, they're number one. Ain't
- 23:45Speaker 1: happy because they know that there's a possibility that it's
- 23:48Speaker 1: going to fall. And so it's, it.
- 23:51Speaker 2: Reminds me of the Spencer Rattler, Caleb Williams here.
- 23:54Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 23:55Speaker 3: It's where we're going into Texas undefeated and everybody goes,
- 23:59Speaker 3: it's fall. It's going to fall apart. At some point
- 24:02Speaker 3: it's going to fall apart.
- 24:05Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good one too, Tover. That's a good point.
- 24:08Speaker 1: I need to actually put that on the shirt. Yeah,
- 24:13Speaker 1: that would be a good shirt to put on there.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Stop playing like the coyote. Be the roadrunner. Because that's
- 24:18Speaker 1: exactly what it feels like, man. It's just so comical
- 24:21Speaker 1: how this is going. You know what's funny to me, though, too,
- 24:24Speaker 1: is the way that the players have really gone to
- 24:30Speaker 1: bat for John. Because that's the one thing you can't question.
- 24:33Speaker 1: The dude works his tail off. And in practice, all
- 24:37Speaker 1: of the players are trying to figure out why it's
- 24:39Speaker 1: not translating to the game. But in practice, it's up
- 24:42Speaker 1: and down. He does exactly what you should. But what's
- 24:46Speaker 1: crazy is when we had the Jackson Arnold Hawkins piece,
- 24:54Speaker 1: you could tell that there was a leaning towards putting
- 24:56Speaker 1: Hawkins on the field. It was like the players are like,
- 25:00Speaker 1: I want Hawkins. We're not really got that right now.
- 25:04Speaker 1: which is the wildest thing. Right? Like, that is crazy
- 25:13Speaker 1: to me.
- 25:15Speaker 3: And... I mean, we saw Michael Hawkins, you know, play
- 25:20Speaker 3: against Texas. College football just does not afford... I mean,
- 25:24Speaker 3: it is a few... Yes, you can find a guy
- 25:27Speaker 3: that was a backup that turned out to be something great.
- 25:30Speaker 3: And a lot of folks want to point out, like,
- 25:31Speaker 3: Trinidad Chambliss last year.
- 25:33Speaker 2: That is... I mean.
- 25:34Speaker 3: You had to have somebody get injured to see that.
- 25:37Speaker 3: But across the college football, across NFL, quarterbacks go down
- 25:43Speaker 3: pretty frequently nowadays. And if your quarterback goes down, I mean,
- 25:47Speaker 3: your goals for the beginning of the season are all different.
- 25:51Speaker 3: There's not a quarterback on this roster behind John that's
- 25:53Speaker 3: going to give you a completely different feel for everything.
- 25:59Speaker 3: Because I don't think John Mateer has a single thing
- 26:02Speaker 3: to do with why the offensive line you know, does
- 26:05Speaker 3: well on four parts and then one part just craps
- 26:08Speaker 3: down their leg. And you just don't see a lot
- 26:13Speaker 3: of quality backups on the quarterback side. So, I mean,
- 26:16Speaker 3: it's ride or die with Mateer for the rest of
- 26:19Speaker 3: the year. And if you see a Witt Neubauer, you know,
- 26:23Speaker 3: get a start over John or something and it has
- 26:24Speaker 3: nothing to do with injury, I think that's a white flag.
- 26:28Speaker 1: I still want to see Witt. I just want to
- 26:31Speaker 1: see him stand there and throw the ball. I mean,
- 26:33Speaker 1: I get it. And then you're, and you're, I don't,
- 26:34Speaker 1: I think, I think you're right. I don't think you're
- 26:36Speaker 1: wrong at all. I think that if they end up
- 26:37Speaker 1: throwing them out there as a white flag for real. Um,
- 26:42Speaker 1: but I do want to see him. I want to
- 26:43Speaker 1: see if he can throw it. Like that's all I
- 26:47Speaker 1: care about. Take the hike, look left, look right. That
- 26:52Speaker 1: way the safety isn't just reading your eyes and launch it.
- 26:56Speaker 1: That's what I want. Just throw the ball. That's, all
- 27:00Speaker 1: I've asked for from any of the quarterbacks we've had
- 27:02Speaker 1: the last three years, throw the ball. Yeah. Stop thinking
- 27:06Speaker 1: about it. Roll the ball. But it really relies to
- 27:10Speaker 1: me on the scheme. Like, I mean, do people have
- 27:12Speaker 1: mentioned it in the comments of, Oh, should have kept
- 27:15Speaker 1: Hawkins and O'Neal. I will buy. Fortunately, my boy, Jane
- 27:18Speaker 1: O'Neal tours ACL. So he ain't playing a season, but
- 27:21Speaker 1: you don't want to put them in this scheme and
- 27:25Speaker 1: think that this is going to work. You don't think
- 27:28Speaker 1: it's going to be any different. You need, truth be told,
- 27:32Speaker 1: you need someone way more game-changing than that. You might
- 27:38Speaker 1: be able to get something like that out of a
- 27:39Speaker 1: Keelan Russell. Maybe. But that's just because he's just that talented.
- 27:46Speaker 1: I don't know. Kamario Taylor? You can't just throw anybody
- 27:51Speaker 1: into any scheme and think they're just going to immediately flourish.
- 27:55Speaker 1: That's the fear. I don't know. Right? Like Mensa? Maybe.
- 28:05Speaker 1: I don't know though. But I'm still trying to figure
- 28:08Speaker 1: out how the heck he ended up at Duke. Yeah.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Before he ended up getting to Miami. I mean, he
- 28:12Speaker 1: had a great year at Duke though last year. Not
- 28:14Speaker 1: going to lie. But I don't want to say how
- 28:15Speaker 1: he ended up at Duke. Granted, he obviously didn't like
- 28:18Speaker 1: his coach, his OC at the time. That's why he
- 28:20Speaker 1: left Tulane. Because he could have stuck around there and
- 28:25Speaker 1: been the quarterback of Florida this year. But yeah, I
- 28:31Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know who could be in this
- 28:33Speaker 1: scheme that can make it work. So we just got
- 28:37Speaker 1: to hope that they figure something out in the quick game.
- 28:39Speaker 1: The quick game is the thing that matters the most.
- 28:40Speaker 1: So in that part, we got to talk about this
- 28:46Speaker 1: Texas offense because that to me is what's interesting. Put
- 28:50Speaker 1: your questions in there. We will put, I'm starring these
- 28:54Speaker 1: and I will post, we will answer these questions in
- 28:57Speaker 1: just a moment. I want to talk about that Texas
- 28:59Speaker 1: offense because that, to me, is probably the most interesting
- 29:02Speaker 1: thing about this game. But before we do that, before

- 30:25Speaker 1: advanced numbers on Texas going into this game. And don't worry.
- 30:31Speaker 1: We're going to, like I said, we're going to answer
- 30:32Speaker 1: questions in a bit. Plus the injury report, the availability
- 30:37Speaker 1: report drops at seven, 10 central time. So we'll be
- 30:40Speaker 1: on here until then. And we will play that on there. Uh, but, um,
- 30:47Speaker 1: have you seen any advanced numbers on there, man?
- 30:51Speaker 2: It looks similar to another team.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Very similar. which is the thing that's the most terrifying
- 30:57Speaker 1: about it. Like, you know that we have a higher
- 30:59Speaker 1: explosive rate on offense than they do, which is insane. Like,
- 31:06Speaker 1: like this picture, let me see if I can get
- 31:09Speaker 1: this up here for y'all to see what this looks like.
- 31:11Speaker 1: Cause I think that this picture is just like, it's,
- 31:14Speaker 1: I don't know, man. It's the, it's just so wild
- 31:18Speaker 1: to me in seeing this. But it's like the explosion is,
- 31:25Speaker 1: The way that they do it is like, yeah, there
- 31:29Speaker 1: we go. Yeah, I got to look at this. This
- 31:31Speaker 1: is some stuff for y'all. Let me see if I
- 31:35Speaker 1: can get it to come in just a little bit more. Nope,
- 31:37Speaker 1: that's about as good as it's going to go. Let
- 31:39Speaker 1: me do one quick shift because when I saw this,
- 31:43Speaker 1: I'm like, you got to be joking me. Like this
- 31:46Speaker 1: has got to be a joke because it don't look
- 31:52Speaker 1: all that great. Here it is. All right. Game on
- 31:54Speaker 1: paper has this listed. This is us. We, uh, us,
- 31:58Speaker 1: our defense versus their offense. They are the white. We
- 32:00Speaker 1: are of course the red. They are the grayish and
- 32:03Speaker 1: we are the red on the opposite side. Both of
- 32:06Speaker 1: our defense just basically swallow up the offenses. We really
- 32:14Speaker 1: look like twins. That is disgusting. Yeah.
- 32:22Speaker 3: Um, I mean, there's so much– they're so eerily similar.
- 32:32Speaker 3: And you know that Texas has– I mean, the W's
- 32:37Speaker 3: and the L's are really what the end looks like, right?
- 32:41Speaker 3: It seems like– I will say in watching Texas, they've
- 32:45Speaker 3: moved the ball down the field quite a bit by,
- 32:49Speaker 3: you know, giving a little jump ball, you know, to
- 32:53Speaker 3: a wide receiver here. Wingo's been spectacular. But outside of that,
- 32:57Speaker 3: I mean, the offense just hasn't been what everybody was,
- 33:02Speaker 3: you know, kind of touting, you know, to kick the
- 33:04Speaker 3: year off. Now, every single thing that you're looking at here, Jay,
- 33:08Speaker 3: I say you got to throw it out for this game.
- 33:12Speaker 2: Like, it just doesn't matter.
- 33:14Speaker 3: Just does not matter at all because, you know, we
- 33:17Speaker 3: saw last year that the offense was really, really struggling.
- 33:20Speaker 3: The offensive line, I mean, they couldn't hold anything. And,
- 33:24Speaker 3: you know, the defense really didn't get a lot of pressure.
- 33:27Speaker 3: And when they did, you know, Arch kind of scooted
- 33:29Speaker 3: out and Arch threw some of his best passes of
- 33:31Speaker 3: the year. And so, I mean, going into this one,
- 33:34Speaker 3: we know that both of these offenses haven't been up
- 33:40Speaker 3: to standard. But I'm going to say if I had
- 33:43Speaker 3: to pick which offense is more likely to have a
- 33:46Speaker 3: uncharacteristically good day, I mean, I got to lean heavily
- 33:51Speaker 3: towards Texas. Yeah.
- 33:54Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, it does. I mean, right now, like Texas
- 34:04Speaker 1: is 102 on EPA on the run. God, and we're
- 34:07Speaker 1: like 130. It's just both are just like Texas passes
- 34:11Speaker 1: is slightly better and they've got. Well, actually, we're actually
- 34:16Speaker 1: better in the expected points. That's bad. They're just like
- 34:23Speaker 1: our starting field position is so awful. because our offense
- 34:27Speaker 1: just doesn't make it to where we're punting and putting
- 34:29Speaker 1: people deep enough like we should. Like we've had some
- 34:32Speaker 1: success in certain spots. We just don't have as much
- 34:35Speaker 1: success as we need, which I think is also the
- 34:37Speaker 1: thing that upsets me is that this past defense, we're
- 34:39Speaker 1: wasting a really good past defense.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Yeah. And I.
- 34:45Speaker 3: Mean, I said going into the year, I thought that
- 34:47Speaker 3: a lot of offenses were going to just play, keep
- 34:52Speaker 3: away from us and you don't have to, You don't
- 34:56Speaker 3: have to be explosive on offense against our defense because
- 35:00Speaker 3: it is way, way more likely that you're going to
- 35:02Speaker 3: pop something against our defense than our offense is going
- 35:05Speaker 3: to do against your defense.
- 35:07Speaker 2: And so it allows people just to be patient.
- 35:10Speaker 1: We're going to wait you out.
- 35:13Speaker 2: If an offense can.
- 35:14Speaker 3: Come against this defense and be patient, that sets you
- 35:19Speaker 3: up for success as someone playing Oklahoma. You look at
- 35:23Speaker 3: last year, two of the offenses that really decided to say,
- 35:27Speaker 3: you know what, we don't believe in your defense, we're
- 35:29Speaker 3: going to do what we've always done, was Tennessee and Alabama.
- 35:33Speaker 3: And both of those were ones that we caused multiple
- 35:36Speaker 3: turnovers and scored on defense. And so I think that
- 35:41Speaker 3: it's even worse this year from the fact that we're
- 35:44Speaker 3: not getting those scores on defense. And so what happens
- 35:47Speaker 3: is instead of a sack, fumble, return for a touchdown game,
- 35:53Speaker 3: It's just a sack that you hold onto the ball,
- 35:57Speaker 3: and then you punt, and you put this Oklahoma offense
- 36:02Speaker 3: within their own 20, and the threat is much, much
- 36:06Speaker 3: more minimal. Will Sark do that? He did it last year.
- 36:10Speaker 3: He didn't get too cute, didn't get too crazy, didn't
- 36:12Speaker 3: get too aggressive. He just said, we're just going to
- 36:15Speaker 3: go out there and we're going to run a simple offense,
- 36:17Speaker 3: and we're going to not put the ball in danger. Eventually,
- 36:21Speaker 3: We're going to get one, and that's what we'll need.
- 36:24Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 36:25Speaker 1: All you got to do is not be yourself. Oh, man.
- 36:33Speaker 1: I love the pain of talking about a team that
- 36:36Speaker 1: I love. It's so much fun. Because, I mean, to me,
- 36:44Speaker 1: there's too much talent to not be. be better than this.
- 36:47Speaker 1: They've got to find a way to execute on the
- 36:50Speaker 1: key thing. You see availability report. Let me make sure
- 36:52Speaker 1: that I pop this up here. Cause I know that
- 36:53Speaker 1: that's going to be coming hot and heavy very soon.
- 36:56Speaker 1: And of course we always get excited because we get
- 36:58Speaker 1: to talk about this, but no, the talent is on
- 37:02Speaker 1: the roster. We've seen them have good games. We've seen
- 37:05Speaker 1: them put stuff together. You just got to do more
- 37:09Speaker 1: of that or find ways to, not confuse your play.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Like my buddy was talking about Texas. Like one of
- 37:17Speaker 1: the things they were talking about them is they seem
- 37:19Speaker 1: confused on some of the play calls, which is wild
- 37:22Speaker 1: to me because I would not have ever expected that
- 37:24Speaker 1: out of a Sarkeesian coach team. Cause they run the
- 37:27Speaker 1: same stuff. They run the same stuff for years. Yeah.
- 37:30Speaker 1: Like that's what they do. But I don't know. Um,
- 37:37Speaker 1: Matt Zenith over there at CBS sports reports is currently
- 37:40Speaker 1: considered more likely than not to The Oklahoma Star offensive lineman,
- 37:44Speaker 1: Michael Fasuzi, won't be available. He hasn't played since week
- 37:48Speaker 1: one due to a shoulder injury. Yeah, that, you know,
- 37:53Speaker 1: if he wants to play, they may find a way
- 37:55Speaker 1: to get in the field. But I don't see him
- 37:57Speaker 1: coming either. I don't see him playing. No complaint. Take
- 38:00Speaker 1: care of yourself. Get your body going.
- 38:04Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 38:04Speaker 1: So, yeah. I don't know. Oh, but we'll get the
- 38:10Speaker 1: availability report. We'll see who's considered out. We'll see who's questionable, doubtful,
- 38:15Speaker 1: and all of that jazz. But BV did say he
- 38:17Speaker 1: expects some players to be back that we haven't had
- 38:21Speaker 1: in a while. These are who I think he's talking about.
- 38:24Speaker 1: I think he's talking about Cole Sullivan. I think he's
- 38:26Speaker 1: talking about Michael Boganowski, which those two would be huge
- 38:30Speaker 1: to get back. I think that's really the only players
- 38:38Speaker 1: that we've lost that hasn't been back really since Georgia.
- 38:44Speaker 1: So Kip's been back. Stone played. So he's going to play.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Who else? Besides Fasusi. I mean, O-Line, everybody else is back.
- 38:59Speaker 1: Besides him. I'm trying to think.
- 39:03Speaker 2: You're not getting, you're not getting Trell.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Yeah, Trell. I don't think Trell's coming back. But, honestly,
- 39:10Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if that's different. Yeah.
- 39:15Speaker 2: Um, I mean, obviously we'll see here shortly, but.
- 39:19Speaker 3: You get a couple of guys on defense and I
- 39:23Speaker 3: think the thing that really excites me about Bogunowski being
- 39:26Speaker 3: back is I think Bogunowski can get out there and
- 39:30Speaker 3: really help out in the run game. I think that
- 39:34Speaker 3: there's a couple of things. If I was Steve Sarkeesian,
- 39:37Speaker 3: I think I would do an offense against this defense.
- 39:43Speaker 3: You put a Cole Sullivan, you get a Bogunowski back.
- 39:48Speaker 3: Those are guys that are going to you know, really
- 39:50Speaker 3: help out in the run game. But I think the
- 39:52Speaker 3: big opportunities for Texas' offense, since we're kind of, you know,
- 39:56Speaker 3: still trying to talk about that, is there's a battle
- 40:01Speaker 3: that's going to happen between Coleman and Cortland Guillory. Cortland
- 40:07Speaker 3: is good for a pass interference or a hold at
- 40:10Speaker 3: least once a game. And I think that if, you know,
- 40:14Speaker 3: if I'm Texas and, you know, if I'm this coaching staff,
- 40:17Speaker 3: we need to watch.
- 40:17Speaker 2: It out because we saw it. Who was it against?
- 40:20Speaker 3: It was Auburn last year to where they kept on
- 40:25Speaker 3: going to Cam, and then finally in the second half
- 40:28Speaker 3: they rolled Peyton Bowen a little bit further over to
- 40:31Speaker 3: kind of be there, and it paid dividends. But I
- 40:34Speaker 3: think early in this game, I mean, if not the
- 40:37Speaker 3: first drive, you need to give Cam Coleman a couple
- 40:39Speaker 3: of 50-50 balls against Cortland out there I want to
- 40:47Speaker 3: see how Cortland plays this because that was a big
- 40:49Speaker 3: matchup that he took personally last year. He kind of
- 40:53Speaker 3: lost that battle. He had two pass interferences against Coleman
- 40:56Speaker 3: last year, one in the end zone, one in the
- 40:58Speaker 3: middle of the field. But those are things that I
- 41:02Speaker 3: want to see how these small interior things happen because
- 41:07Speaker 3: I can promise you Steve Sarkeesian knows that this is
- 41:11Speaker 3: going to be a tough battle against the defense. And
- 41:15Speaker 3: if you can get a freebie or a layup, as
- 41:17Speaker 3: we were just talking about, you know, for our offense,
- 41:19Speaker 3: I think some of those things are going to, you know,
- 41:22Speaker 3: we'll see a couple of those also force the stretch
- 41:27Speaker 3: with Relique Brown. I don't know if you're going to
- 41:30Speaker 3: do it with Hollywood Smothers, but with Relique Brown, try
- 41:33Speaker 3: to get out on the edges and make sure that
- 41:34Speaker 3: the tackling is shored up because early in the season,
- 41:37Speaker 3: there's been, there was a lot of, you know, kind
- 41:38Speaker 3: of slippery tackling, you know, from the Oklahoma defense. And
- 41:42Speaker 3: instead of you heard, Teddy talked about it on the
- 41:44Speaker 3: Oklahoma breakdown. Instead of having a two-yard loss, a guy
- 41:48Speaker 3: doesn't wrap up. He comes in, flies, hits somebody. They
- 41:53Speaker 3: spin out of it, and it's like a one-yard gain. Sure,
- 41:56Speaker 3: that's only a one-yard gain, but it's a three-yard turnaround.
- 42:00Speaker 3: We know that those hidden yards and those hidden penalties
- 42:03Speaker 3: with the Camp Coleman situation, those are going to be
- 42:05Speaker 3: ones that you need to be able to plan for
- 42:08Speaker 3: because I really do think that this game's going to
- 42:11Speaker 3: be pretty tight for a little while, and It'll be
- 42:14Speaker 3: the first team that decides to take a shot and
- 42:17Speaker 3: be successful at it is going to be the thing
- 42:19Speaker 3: that I think separates from the offense side.
- 42:25Speaker 1: With you on that, having Cole back is big. I mean,
- 42:32Speaker 1: I think Owen is going to be on the list.
- 42:38Speaker 1: He'll probably be a questionable or probable. I don't think
- 42:43Speaker 1: he's going to be a doubtful, but he could be.
- 42:45Speaker 1: But if Cole's on there as a return with Bogonowski
- 42:49Speaker 1: and you have, like I said, Owen Heineke on there,
- 42:53Speaker 1: Kip should play. Kip didn't look like he had anything
- 42:55Speaker 1: that took him out. He played like himself, actually played
- 43:00Speaker 1: with his hair on fire. So I expect him to
- 43:02Speaker 1: actually be there. J. Mike, haven't seen him yet. I'm
- 43:06Speaker 1: wondering if he makes a return.
- 43:08Speaker 2: That might be one.
- 43:09Speaker 3: It took him a little while to get started last year,
- 43:14Speaker 3: so hopefully he can kind of pick up where he
- 43:17Speaker 3: left off because John really waited for him to clear
- 43:21Speaker 3: in some of those layered routes, and you saw really
- 43:24Speaker 3: good throws to him. uh, you know, at the back
- 43:26Speaker 3: end of the year. Well, obviously that's still last year
- 43:29Speaker 3: and we've seen John do some crazy stuff since then, but, um,
- 43:32Speaker 3: you know, having some comfort to, you know, he's a
- 43:34Speaker 3: bigger body and that's good.
- 43:35Speaker 2: That's going to, you know, it's going to help out
- 43:37Speaker 2: a little bit.
- 43:39Speaker 1: Yup. J Mike, J Mike knows the, Oh, he at
- 43:42Speaker 1: least know the routes to me, to me at this point,
- 43:55Speaker 1: they need to go ahead and throw just see Rogers
- 44:05Speaker 1: out there with Elijah Thomas and just go with like
- 44:08Speaker 1: an all athletic setup. Why not? At this point, you
- 44:18Speaker 1: may as well throw your most athletic players on the
- 44:21Speaker 1: field and just see what the heck happens. Yeah. Right? Like,
- 44:27Speaker 1: to me, again, and I know I repeat this numerous times, y'all,
- 44:31Speaker 1: so just don't get mad at me, but I'm telling you,
- 44:33Speaker 1: the thing that makes me feel like what they should
- 44:35Speaker 1: need to do is just say, John, this is the
- 44:36Speaker 1: spot to throw it to. Count to three, look left,
- 44:39Speaker 1: look right, and then throw it left and just throw
- 44:41Speaker 1: it deep to this exact spot. One of them receivers
- 44:44Speaker 1: need to be there and lob it so they can
- 44:47Speaker 1: run underneath it. And tell the receivers, hey, it's your
- 44:52Speaker 1: job to go get it. Jump balls. Battle it. Especially
- 44:56Speaker 1: if they don't play too high and they just load
- 44:59Speaker 1: the box and have guys playing across the middle to
- 45:02Speaker 1: stop your tight ends because you know they're going to
- 45:04Speaker 1: be watching Rocky Beers. They're going to be watching Hayden Hanson.
- 45:07Speaker 1: Rightfully so. Put them dudes on the outside and say, go.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Just run.
- 45:11Speaker 1: I'm going to throw it deep. I'm going to hit
- 45:13Speaker 1: you on a post here. I'm just going to throw
- 45:14Speaker 1: it there. And if you're at this spot, cool. And
- 45:19Speaker 1: you know that you're not going to have that much
- 45:21Speaker 1: time So as soon as you get to the back
- 45:24Speaker 1: of your spot, just lob it in the air and
- 45:26Speaker 1: see if somebody runs underneath it. But you got to
- 45:29Speaker 1: have the arm control, which we've seen them have. Throw
- 45:31Speaker 1: it to that one spot so that your guy to
- 45:32Speaker 1: go up there and get it and let them fight
- 45:34Speaker 1: with them. Go get some PIs.
- 45:36Speaker 3: Shoot.
- 45:38Speaker 1: Just go get some PIs. Beat them on the route
- 45:40Speaker 1: and just throw it up in the air and make
- 45:42Speaker 1: sure it's thrown just enough over to where they can
- 45:45Speaker 1: jump forward and they can fight a corner for the ball.
- 45:47Speaker 1: That's what needs to be done. Stop trying to be
- 45:49Speaker 1: precision in all of it. Just throw it to a spot.
- 45:52Speaker 1: and let your dudes go play ball. That's all we've got.
- 45:55Speaker 1: That'll open your run game up, because at some point,
- 45:58Speaker 1: Texas is going to step back.
- 46:00Speaker 3: Well, and also it opens up what we've seen out
- 46:04Speaker 3: of Elijah Thomas, and he likes that back shoulder throw.
- 46:07Speaker 1: He really does.
- 46:08Speaker 3: You send them deep a few times, and again, it
- 46:12Speaker 3: could be a situation to where you're running a different play,
- 46:15Speaker 3: and you send Satania deep down the seam, and people
- 46:20Speaker 3: are going to notice that. You send Elijah Thomas on
- 46:23Speaker 3: the outside deep. You send anybody else on the outside deep.
- 46:27Speaker 3: And then when they see that ball again, the corner
- 46:31Speaker 3: is going to try to get a step because typically
- 46:33Speaker 3: on those first times, the ball is going to be
- 46:35Speaker 3: overthrown or caught or it's going to.
- 46:37Speaker 2: Be a battle in the air.
- 46:39Speaker 3: But in the future, what happens is you let that
- 46:43Speaker 3: back shoulder develop. And, I mean, I'm okay with– a
- 46:49Speaker 3: second and now, I mean, we got to get there,
- 46:51Speaker 3: but you get a second short, just laying it out,
- 46:55Speaker 3: do something, be out of character because I can promise
- 46:58Speaker 3: you this being out of character is going to be
- 47:00Speaker 3: a little bit more successful than what we threw out
- 47:03Speaker 3: there against Georgia.
- 47:04Speaker 1: You're dang right. Just go do it. Just, just do it.
- 47:10Speaker 1: And that's the reason why I say Neubauer, get you
- 47:13Speaker 1: warming up, buddy. Cause the only thing I want you
- 47:15Speaker 1: to do is to not think I want you to
- 47:16Speaker 1: just throw in places. That's it. Just chunk it. That's it.
- 47:21Speaker 1: Lob it over the side and make dudes go underneath
- 47:24Speaker 1: it and catch it. Do it. That's it. So I
- 47:32Speaker 1: would like Neubauer to be prepared to be doing that
- 47:33Speaker 1: as well. And to me, that is what Ben needs
- 47:38Speaker 1: to do. Say, either you're going to throw it or
- 47:41Speaker 1: I'm going to pull you. I need the ball thrown.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Be cocky in the fact of saying that I can
- 47:50Speaker 1: scheme the guy open. I just need you to put
- 47:52Speaker 1: the ball in that area. Yeah.
- 47:54Speaker 3: Right?
- 47:55Speaker 1: Sometimes you got to be cocky doing that. There's nothing
- 47:57Speaker 1: wrong with that. But this injury report, I'm going to say,
- 48:00Speaker 1: is going to be really interesting based upon the Matt
- 48:06Speaker 1: Zenith report that just came down because I'm trying to
- 48:10Speaker 1: understand why that's been posted out here so early.
- 48:14Speaker 3: Well, I mean, he says according to sources, and I
- 48:20Speaker 3: think that there's quite a bit of, you know, I mean,
- 48:24Speaker 3: it's kind of a low-risk, high-reward. You know, if Fasusi
- 48:28Speaker 3: does show up on the questionable and then he decides
- 48:31Speaker 3: to give it a go the day of the game,
- 48:33Speaker 3: you know, you could be a game-time decision. I mean,
- 48:35Speaker 3: that's fine. I think there's some gamesmanship in it, too,
- 48:39Speaker 3: with the injury report. And, you know, if you have
- 48:42Speaker 3: him as a doubtful, we saw it with Lane Kiffin,
- 48:45Speaker 3: You know, you can– he's been injured. You know, we'll see.
- 48:49Speaker 3: But I think that that's kind of what got OU
- 48:52Speaker 3: in trouble last year. I think, you know, instead of
- 48:54Speaker 3: the gamesmanship stuff, I think you just need folks getting
- 48:56Speaker 3: out there and doing your best with guys that are
- 48:58Speaker 3: going to be out there. Because last year we played
- 49:00Speaker 3: the nonsense with Mateer's injury, and it seemed to be
- 49:03Speaker 3: more of a distraction than a help.
- 49:06Speaker 1: Yeah, 100%. All right, backfield, who– I think everybody should
- 49:12Speaker 1: be back in the backfield now, right? Like I saw,
- 49:15Speaker 1: we saw some Torrey. I'm wondering what the hammy looks
- 49:17Speaker 1: like with him. He's there. Maybe he's ready to go.
- 49:22Speaker 1: Maybe we can get him on the field. I would
- 49:23Speaker 1: like to see Torrey. I do know that I'm glad
- 49:27Speaker 1: that both BV and Ben mentioned that they need to
- 49:32Speaker 1: get the ball to Elijah Thomas Moore and they need
- 49:36Speaker 1: to hand the ball to Jonathan Hatton and let him
- 49:38Speaker 1: break out. This needs to be the Jonathan Hatton game.
- 49:44Speaker 1: Put him out there, let him get a feel, and
- 49:47Speaker 1: just have him run it and say, hey, man, you
- 49:50Speaker 1: got to break some tackles. We're going to give you
- 49:51Speaker 1: some holes, some small creases, just run straight through. This
- 49:55Speaker 1: feels like the game you do it.
- 49:57Speaker 3: There's two things, the reasons why I think I agree
- 49:59Speaker 3: with that. Number one is with the rotations, it's the
- 50:04Speaker 3: rotation of running backs. It hasn't changed. It's the same
- 50:06Speaker 3: thing as when DeMarco was here. You've got three different
- 50:09Speaker 3: guys circling in. It just is kind of awkward in
- 50:14Speaker 3: what's going on. If I am calling plays for the
- 50:18Speaker 3: running backs, I don't care. If you look at Jonathan Hatton,
- 50:23Speaker 3: you say, which run scheme, blocking scheme do you feel
- 50:29Speaker 3: most comfortable?
- 50:30Speaker 2: Which side do you feel most comfortable running at? I
- 50:32Speaker 2: can tell you this.
- 50:34Speaker 3: With Colin Simmons, he is going to be screaming off
- 50:36Speaker 3: the backside. So, Doing the delayed handoffs out of the shotgun,
- 50:41Speaker 3: that stuff's not going to fly because Colin Simmons is
- 50:44Speaker 3: going to have somebody by the ankles and you're going
- 50:46Speaker 3: to roll a running back's ankle. I think that you
- 50:49Speaker 3: need to get back under center again. You need to,
- 50:52Speaker 3: you know, I don't care if the whole world knows.
- 50:54Speaker 3: We're running this gap and we're going to commit to
- 50:58Speaker 3: it and we're just going to go.
- 50:59Speaker 2: Because it's not like you need explosive 25, 35-yard runs.
- 51:02Speaker 3: This offense needs to look at, your goal needs to
- 51:09Speaker 3: be three yards a run. If you can break out more, sure.
- 51:14Speaker 3: But doing the shotgun where guys are standing still and
- 51:19Speaker 3: then you've got the pulling guards and everything like that,
- 51:23Speaker 3: Colin Simmons will be there in the backfield. And at
- 51:26Speaker 3: one point, something's going to slip. There's going to be
- 51:29Speaker 3: a missed handoff because John is John. And he's going
- 51:32Speaker 3: to be there to recover a fumble. So I think
- 51:34Speaker 3: that you need to get under center. You need to
- 51:36Speaker 3: get the plays going as fast as possible. And you
- 51:38Speaker 3: just need to tell them, hey, this is the hole
- 51:40Speaker 3: that you're running. This is the Hatton hole for the
- 51:41Speaker 3: entire game. Get out there and go. And you need
- 51:44Speaker 3: to stick with somebody for a little bit because if
- 51:47Speaker 3: you give Jonathan Hatton two runs and he gets eight
- 51:50Speaker 3: yards and then you throw Lloyd Yvonne out there and
- 51:53Speaker 3: you don't see Hatton for two quarters, that's nonsense that
- 51:56Speaker 3: we've got to see go away.
- 51:58Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the nonsense that needs to be completely eliminated.
- 52:02Speaker 1: You need to hand that ball home. to that running back,
- 52:09Speaker 1: and if he gets you 2-8, and you better hand
- 52:12Speaker 1: him on that third down, you better hand him the
- 52:13Speaker 1: ball again. Yeah. Keep doing it. Don't try to trick him.
- 52:19Speaker 1: Don't let them know. We will go right at you
- 52:23Speaker 1: like this. That's what you need to do. Period. I
- 52:28Speaker 1: do think this needs to be the breakout game for Hatton.
- 52:32Speaker 1: This feels like the game that needs to be it.
- 52:34Speaker 3: So.
- 52:36Speaker 1: If we focus on that, that feels like a good idea.
- 52:39Speaker 1: Like I said, wide receiver-wise, I do want to see E.T.
- 52:42Speaker 1: with Roger Sear Rogers. Just play athletes. You can mix
- 52:47Speaker 1: in Parker to get open in some pockets some places. Cool.
- 52:50Speaker 1: Rocky Beers needs to play a lot. Like your key plays,
- 52:53Speaker 1: Rocky Beers needs to be on the field. Hayden Hanson
- 52:56Speaker 1: needs to be on the field often, too. You need
- 52:57Speaker 1: to hit him on a regular basis on the flats.
- 52:59Speaker 1: He needs to be a safety blanket. He needs to
- 53:00Speaker 1: be leveraged. He's freaking 6'9. Throw it to the Giants.
- 53:06Speaker 1: You don't need him streaking up the sidelines. You don't
- 53:08Speaker 1: need to run plays where he's running, running up the
- 53:11Speaker 1: field a whole bunch in the middle, throw it high,
- 53:14Speaker 1: let them catch it, let them catch it there and land.
- 53:17Speaker 1: That's what you need to do. Leverage the fact that
- 53:20Speaker 1: you've got giants there.
- 53:23Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 53:23Speaker 1: And you'll be fine. Outside of that, I mean, John's
- 53:29Speaker 1: just got to revert back to the Michigan version from
- 53:32Speaker 1: like last season. Just, I don't need you to run
- 53:35Speaker 1: the ball a lot, but I need you to throw
- 53:36Speaker 1: it and just throw some lobs. He's done it before.
- 53:40Speaker 1: That's the only reason why I talk about it. We've
- 53:42Speaker 1: watched him do it. When we went up on freaking
- 53:47Speaker 1: Bama 17-0 to start the game, you're like, oh shoot,
- 53:50Speaker 1: they out here balling. Give me that. Put us in
- 53:56Speaker 1: a high lead and then just be patient. We can
- 54:02Speaker 1: do it. I know it can be done. The defense though,
- 54:04Speaker 1: if Boganowski's off the list, the safety setup is going
- 54:07Speaker 1: to be interesting. Cause I'm really curious to see how,
- 54:12Speaker 1: cause I, against Georgia, you had Bowen and Reggie in
- 54:16Speaker 1: a couple of moments where they were like a single high,
- 54:19Speaker 1: like it was a cover three. So they were like
- 54:21Speaker 1: in a single high in the middle. And they're like
- 54:23Speaker 1: basically playing both sides and, and, and protecting anything deep.
- 54:29Speaker 1: I'm wondering how much of that you would do with
- 54:32Speaker 1: Bogo and, and if you would have him blitzing on
- 54:37Speaker 1: the outside. Because I know Reg was blitzing, and he's
- 54:40Speaker 1: gotten some tackles for loss. He's gotten a sack off
- 54:43Speaker 1: of it. I'm curious to how, what the pressure's going
- 54:47Speaker 1: to look like. Because if there's anything to mention on that,
- 54:50Speaker 1: let me say it this way. Last season, it was
- 54:54Speaker 1: pointed out that Brent Venables was not doing a bunch
- 54:56Speaker 1: of stunting and everything with his defensive line. Granted, in
- 55:00Speaker 1: that game, the halftime score was three to three. So
- 55:03Speaker 1: it was obvious that you could go straight up with
- 55:05Speaker 1: them and you gave them enough problems to where they
- 55:07Speaker 1: couldn't score. Even with three turnovers, technically two, the third
- 55:11Speaker 1: one was at the end of the quarter. So that
- 55:12Speaker 1: doesn't really count for them to be able to use,
- 55:14Speaker 1: but they had two turnovers and they still couldn't score
- 55:17Speaker 1: off of them. To me, you need to get back
- 55:25Speaker 1: to being fancy as you prepare for Sark to do
- 55:29Speaker 1: the same thing Lane Kiffin did when he was here.
- 55:32Speaker 1: which was slowing it down and being really fast and
- 55:37Speaker 1: get rid of the ball as quickly as possible. I'm
- 55:42Speaker 1: hoping that Brent understands that he needs to go in
- 55:45Speaker 1: there and he needs to bring the, he needs to
- 55:47Speaker 1: bring out the kitchen sink, screw the rest of the schedule,
- 55:51Speaker 1: bring out the kitchen sink in this game. Yeah. This
- 55:53Speaker 1: is critical.
- 55:56Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 55:57Speaker 3: Um, I said I'm interested to see Boganowski be out
- 56:01Speaker 3: there because I think Omarin Robinson has done really, really well.
- 56:04Speaker 3: I think that him having the opportunity to come to
- 56:07Speaker 3: the sideline and see the game, it allows him to
- 56:11Speaker 3: see it from a different perspective, and that will allow
- 56:14Speaker 3: him a little bit more when he goes in there
- 56:17Speaker 3: to play with some anticipation. It looks a lot of
- 56:21Speaker 3: the time that he is trying to still process a
- 56:23Speaker 3: lot of stuff, so I'm.
- 56:24Speaker 2: Interested to see that there.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Cole.
- 56:27Speaker 3: I mean, at this point, Cole hasn't showed me anything
- 56:29Speaker 3: to get super excited about. You know, I'm wondering how
- 56:36Speaker 3: committed towards the run that Sark is going to be
- 56:39Speaker 3: up front because I don't really see a world where
- 56:46Speaker 3: Sark's going to come out and want to be just
- 56:48Speaker 3: one-dimensional to, you know, run to set up the pass
- 56:51Speaker 3: or pass to set up the run. I think he's
- 56:53Speaker 3: going to try to keep OU's defense alive you know,
- 56:58Speaker 3: pretty off center. And so that may be, you know,
- 57:01Speaker 3: throwing a tunnel out to Wingo. That may be, you know,
- 57:04Speaker 3: throwing a deep ball up for jumps for Cam, you know,
- 57:07Speaker 3: and then mixing in some of the runs. But, you know,
- 57:11Speaker 3: I've been a pretty vocal person. I'm not super impressed
- 57:15Speaker 3: with Hollywood Smothers. He's going to be coming off injury.
- 57:19Speaker 3: He's going to have a little bit of a vendetta,
- 57:21Speaker 3: you know, playing against Oklahoma.
- 57:24Speaker 2: I think that.
- 57:27Speaker 3: Out of those two running backs, as much as I
- 57:29Speaker 3: think Relique Brown is a gimmick running back, that I
- 57:34Speaker 3: think is one of your best options is getting him
- 57:36Speaker 3: on the outside and really forcing Oklahoma to square up
- 57:41Speaker 3: and to make the sure dead-on play, be gap sound,
- 57:46Speaker 3: whatever it ends up being. That's where I think that
- 57:50Speaker 3: Sark is going to have big opportunities. I think Wingo
- 57:53Speaker 3: has a big opportunity to have a big day because
- 57:57Speaker 3: he's going to be running a lot of the crossers,
- 57:59Speaker 3: and if you don't keep up with him, he doesn't
- 58:02Speaker 3: need a lot of separation. But then that, and then
- 58:04Speaker 3: Relique out on the outside. And Relique Brown is going
- 58:07Speaker 3: to be the type of guy that you may get
- 58:09Speaker 3: him for two tackles for loss, but then you miss
- 58:12Speaker 3: one tackle, and he's going to take it 35, 40
- 58:14Speaker 3: yards downfield.
- 58:15Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't be missing tackles. That's the most important
- 58:18Speaker 1: thing in this game. The less you miss tackles, the
- 58:20Speaker 1: better off that you are defensively. Because that, they will,
- 58:25Speaker 1: both running backs are explosive in that capacity. I mean,
- 58:27Speaker 1: that was the reason why Link got recruited, Relique Brown,
- 58:31Speaker 1: to come to Oklahoma when he was here. That was
- 58:33Speaker 1: why Hollywood Smothers was here, is that they're the type to,
- 58:37Speaker 1: they can break a tackle or two, they're going to
- 58:40Speaker 1: bounce to the outside and be gone. Can't overcommit. Someone's
- 58:45Speaker 1: got to play the edge. Someone's got to set the
- 58:47Speaker 1: edge and not allow them to bounce it out and go.
- 58:50Speaker 1: That's going to be, to me, the most important thing
- 58:54Speaker 1: in this game, is forcing Arch to beat you. But again,
- 58:59Speaker 1: like you mentioned, tunnel screens are going to happen. There's
- 59:01Speaker 1: going to be a lot of those. I expect the
- 59:04Speaker 1: quick game to really happen. We've got 10 minutes before the.
- 59:10Speaker 1: Injury report populates up. I am over here vigorously pressing
- 59:15Speaker 1: F5 to see if we get something a little bit earlier,
- 59:19Speaker 1: but we will jump in and talk about that when
- 59:22Speaker 1: it comes. Thank y'all for pulling up at the like button.
- 59:25Speaker 1: If you are new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review,
- 59:28Speaker 1: Give us five stars. Not very many questions. Most of
- 59:30Speaker 1: the stuff we answered in some of the conversations we had.
- 59:32Speaker 1: I know a lot of people have asked about the
- 59:34Speaker 1: question of BV being fired. BV's not going anywhere. You
- 59:37Speaker 1: got BV for at least two more years before they
- 59:41Speaker 1: do anything. They're going to give him a full seven.
- 59:45Speaker 1: The defense, y'all saw the numbers. That's why they're going
- 59:51Speaker 1: to give him the time. They're going to be like,
- 59:54Speaker 1: the biggest question is, Can't he hire an offensive coordinator
- 1:00:03Speaker 1: that will run the offense that works the way they want?
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: He wants to build a Georgia. Really good defense, power
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: run game, all of that. That's why you got to
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: have changes on the offensive staff in that case because
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: the run game is just not there. That's the most
- 1:00:22Speaker 1: important part of having a really good defense. Your defense
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: can't maintain greatness with a bad offense, with a bad
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: run game. Those are the two things that travel, run
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: games and defenses. If you can control the ball and
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: then get the ball off their hands, guess what? He
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: won a lot of football games. So, you know, that's
- 1:00:41Speaker 1: what he wants. So, yeah, you're going to get him
- 1:00:44Speaker 1: for another couple more years. And his defensive recruits are
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: excited about playing his defense because his defense actually translates
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: to the NFL. Look at R. Mason Thomas. Look at G-Baby.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Both of them. Robert Spears Jennings is a on the
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: rookie watch in the NFL. His defense translates. Yeah. That
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: is what he can lean in on and say, look
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: at these dudes. I mean, granted, we're not doing that
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: great in the college ranks. We're not winning championships like
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: we should. We're not even competing for them right now.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: But guess what? The defense is great and those guys
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: are getting drafted because of it.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: No, and it's, yeah, I mean, has Brent Venables proven
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: to be a stellar head coach?
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: No.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: No.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: Has he proven to make.
- 1:01:28Speaker 3: A change and commit to a change and change the
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: whole identity of a team.
- 1:01:33Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah, they have, but like in 23, they were tough.
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: Well, I mean, you know, last year you all, you
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: did that with, with John, you know, in all of
- 1:01:47Speaker 3: his faults, the offensive line being bad, the offensive being
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: the offense, just in general being bad, but at least
- 1:01:55Speaker 3: last year, We were getting those explosive plays, and it's
- 1:01:59Speaker 3: hard to get the points off turnovers as frequently as
- 1:02:04Speaker 3: we did last year and expect it to be the
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: same the following year. It's just hard because teams start
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: playing you different, and that's what we've seen so far.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: I mean, even in that Georgia game, John Mateer played
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: well enough to make that a competitive game. He also
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: played in a manner that gave Georgia the game. Um,
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: you know, that's, that's the crazy thing about it. And
- 1:02:26Speaker 3: when you saw Gunnar Stockton out there, I mean, Stockton,
- 1:02:30Speaker 3: you know, had a couple of throws that were just
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: beautiful and you can, I mean, no defense can compete against,
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: but I think it was one of the plays receiver
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: down the seam and is on Eli and the receiver
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: just turned the ball, hits him in the shoulder and
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: he catches it. Like there's, you know, if that ball's
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: not perfect, that ball is an incompletion popped up in
- 1:02:51Speaker 3: the air for interception.
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: Et cetera.
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. Jason, good question. They would
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: not hire Sharon Moore as offensive coordinator. No. I would
- 1:03:03Speaker 1: say 100% that's a no. No chance. Zero opportunity that
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: they would ever, ever do that.
- 1:03:11Speaker 3: I think Sharon needs a couple more years before anybody
- 1:03:16Speaker 3: touches him.
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: He may get an analyst job somewhere. Someone may give
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: him a... A chance as an analyst to kind of
- 1:03:24Speaker 1: just sit and hide in the corner? Zero chance that
- 1:03:27Speaker 1: he gets a head coaching job. Plus, his offense, that
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: offense that he was running was Harbaugh's, and you learned
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: that his first year as head coach. That wasn't his O.
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: That was Harbaugh's. And Chip Lindsey ran that offense that
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: next season, so that was his offense for real. So, yeah, no,
- 1:03:48Speaker 1: zero chance that you get a Sharon Moore look. He
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: does need to go somewhere and be an analyst, though.
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: Get his life together. Figure something out.
- 1:03:58Speaker 3: Screw up a massive job. Legally-wise, I think that he
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: was acquitted of most of all the stuff.
- 1:04:09Speaker 1: The stain's still there on the rip.
- 1:04:13Speaker 3: Well, I'm just saying, as far as the background check goes,
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: that's loosened up a little bit.
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: And so that will.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: That will keep him from Art Bryles-type territory to where
- 1:04:24Speaker 3: you're blackballed and you're not coming back. But I do
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: 100% believe that somebody will have him on– it's going
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: to be a situation where I think he's probably going
- 1:04:34Speaker 3: to have to go be an analyst in the NFL
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: offensive line, co-coach or something like that under a proven
- 1:04:43Speaker 3: head coach.
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: Yeah. I'm actually curious to see– Who becomes available, though?
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: Former head coaches that become available. And who would be
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: a viable candidate? Like, I was honestly, truth be told,
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: I was looking. I was like, man, I wonder if
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: Dan Mullins ends up becoming available. But they're three and two.
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: Jackson had his. Jackson had his one game.
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: At that big game, he had 172 yards passing and
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: 110 yards rushing against Cal. I was wondering, is Dan
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: Mullen going to become available? He did have five touchdowns
- 1:05:31Speaker 1: in that game, which is insane. I don't. I don't know.
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: Dan Mullen showed his ass when he was the head
- 1:05:45Speaker 3: coach of Florida, and we beat them in the bowl game,
- 1:05:49Speaker 3: you know, pretty handily. And so I don't know, you know,
- 1:05:52Speaker 3: but I think that Oklahoma fan in general is desperate
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: enough that I don't, I mean, I don't, I think
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: that there's fans out there that if news dropped that
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: our Bryles, you know, was coming in as the OC,
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: there's enough people that say, I don't give whatever makes
- 1:06:07Speaker 3: it success. I mean, I was calling for Bobby Petrino
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: kind of tongue in cheek, you know, the past two weeks.
- 1:06:14Speaker 3: Now everywhere he goes, like, turns to crap. So, I mean, it's,
- 1:06:18Speaker 3: you know, if it didn't work out, I think it's
- 1:06:20Speaker 3: going to turn to crap anyway. But, you know, that's
- 1:06:22Speaker 3: the last thing that you want to do is, you know,
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: Venables cannot survive another bad OC hire.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: If it indeed happens.
- 1:06:32Speaker 3: I still have my money on Arbuckle coming back with
- 1:06:35Speaker 3: a new offensive line coach and maybe new receivers coach.
- 1:06:41Speaker 3: If I had to bet my money, I think Arbuckle's
- 1:06:43Speaker 3: here next year. Do I think he should be?
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: No, I don't.
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: My bet's the opposite. My bet's that he gone, but
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be surprised. Like you've already
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: shown that you can't run the pro style. Oh, even
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: with staff, like you may as well just cut your
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: losses and yeah, let that go.
- 1:07:14Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this, Jake.
- 1:07:15Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the Cowboy. His wife ain't going to let
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: that happen, dog. I'm telling you now. Like, his wife
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: will not let that happen. Beatin' Bo's not moving his
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: family again. That's not happening.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people are saying that Beatin'
- 1:07:28Speaker 2: Bo was kind of ready to be done.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: He's been ready to retire for a while.
- 1:07:32Speaker 3: When Brent came in. And, you know, we talked him
- 1:07:35Speaker 3: into it, and he stuck around. I think that he
- 1:07:39Speaker 3: is done. And, you know, he may be looking at
- 1:07:42Speaker 3: Kevin Wilson and go, Yeah, I'd like a job like
- 1:07:45Speaker 3: that to where I can just sit around and be
- 1:07:47Speaker 3: a consultant and get no blame and get a lot
- 1:07:51Speaker 3: of say and stuff.
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: Kevin is getting all the blame right now.
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: He's a long way down that list.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to understand why he's not coaching right now.
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: Why isn't he running things? Well. But I do think
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: that Arbuckle's going to be really good wherever he goes.
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: He's going to put up Big 12, ACC, go back
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: to the pack. I mean, heck, the Wake Forest coach,
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: he's going to get a nice job very soon. He
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: may pull him in.
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: It's, I mean, I just, again, it would.
- 1:08:38Speaker 3: Be like somebody coming to you and I and saying,
- 1:08:42Speaker 3: We like what you guys have done with Sooner Football.
- 1:08:47Speaker 3: We want you to talk tennis for us. We just
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: like what you guys– like, it just won't– I don't
- 1:08:51Speaker 3: think it would work, right? Like, you're just taking somebody
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: and doing something. And I think it's the same bit
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: that Jim Traber was talking about on the radio. It's silly,
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: but at the same time, Brent obviously thought this would work.
- 1:09:09Speaker 3: He thought that these things would happen. Everybody who was saying, yeah,
- 1:09:13Speaker 3: but can that stuff from Washington State translate to the SEC?
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: As of now, The answer is no. Um, would it
- 1:09:21Speaker 3: look different with a offensive line that was competent? Um,
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: or even dominant? Like, uh, we, we may never get
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: to know.
- 1:09:31Speaker 1: I mean, the funny thing is, is the belief that
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: that can never work. Cause I disagree because we watched
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: it happen at Vanderbilt. It works. That stuff can work. Um,
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: it's all about how they do it. Oh, we've got
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: it up. It's very interesting. Uh, You're so stupid. I
- 1:09:50Speaker 1: hate you so much. All right, here's our availability report.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: This is actually a lot more interesting than I thought
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: it would be. There's a lot more names on here
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: that I did not think, I did not expect. All right,
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: here you go.
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: Out.
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: Taylor Hine, Trell Harris, Xavier Robinson is out. And so
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: is Jacoby Johnson. So no ex-Rob this week. Trenay, Fasusi,
- 1:10:13Speaker 1: and Fred Hinton are doubtful. So there's a possibility that
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: there could be an upgrade there. Jermichael Carter, Cole Sullivan, Boganowski, EPL,
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: and Van Dorselaer are questionable.
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: Owen Heineke will play cause he's probable. I, so I
- 1:10:34Speaker 4: always forget about Taylor Heim.
- 1:10:36Speaker 3: And so when you said Taylor Heim out, I thought
- 1:10:38Speaker 3: it was wine. And I was like, somebody, somebody owes
- 1:10:43Speaker 3: me an explanation. Um, I did not know Jacoby was–
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: I saw him limp off during Georgia.
- 1:10:50Speaker 2: I didn't know that it was that bad.
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: Yeah, BD mentioned it in the press conference that that's
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: what it was.
- 1:10:58Speaker 3: Yeah, so out of the doubtfuls, I mean, I don't
- 1:11:02Speaker 3: expect to see any of those guys. Questionable, I mean,
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: that makes me happy. Those guys can go one way
- 1:11:10Speaker 3: or the other. I mean, it's not guaranteed that they're
- 1:11:13Speaker 3: going to progress over the next two days. But, I mean,
- 1:11:19Speaker 3: that's kind of what I expected.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: Yeah, same. So I think out of the five questionable,
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: the only one I think that could end up going
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: to doubtful and increasing might be EPL. Because I do
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: remember him being hurt.
- 1:11:42Speaker 3: Do you think we see Xavier Robinson in a Sooner
- 1:11:45Speaker 3: jersey ever again?
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: No, I don't.
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: I just think, and I'm not saying that this is
- 1:11:55Speaker 3: a Jaden Ott situation or anything like that. I think
- 1:11:59Speaker 3: at this point you have to say we've got a
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: lot of other young guys, and I think it'd be
- 1:12:08Speaker 3: good to focus in on Torrey and Avant and Haddon
- 1:12:13Speaker 3: the rest of the year. You know, trying to get
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: four guys worked in just doesn't work out. And Xavier just,
- 1:12:20Speaker 3: I mean, bless his heart, he just can't stay healthy.
- 1:12:23Speaker 3: And I'm wondering if we see him ever again.
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: Nothing has worked out for him the way it should. So, yeah.
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: I can see that. It's just no luck.
- 1:12:34Speaker 3: And it's been something, you know, almost different every time
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: between ankle, knee, shoulder. You know, it's just– There's just
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: always something.
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: Knees and toes, knees and toes.
- 1:12:45Speaker 3: He had a concussion, too, I think, on one of them. So,
- 1:12:50Speaker 3: I mean, how many fans read and say, who the
- 1:12:55Speaker 3: hell is Fred Hinton? And a lot of people didn't
- 1:12:58Speaker 3: have any clue. So, Jay, let's do this. Since that's
- 1:13:04Speaker 3: the report, who do you expect to see on the
- 1:13:07Speaker 3: offensive line and where?
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: Ooh, line. The fact that Fasusi is sitting here is
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: doubtful is kind of weird. We just got the report
- 1:13:16Speaker 1: that it's more likely than not that he's going to play,
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: so I would expect that to just be out. Why
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: would you throw him a doubtful? I mean, maybe some
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: mind games there, but left, you're going to have probably Fosier, guard,
- 1:13:32Speaker 1: probably Ozaida, or Peyton Joseph, most likely Ozaida. Mikla Wright
- 1:13:40Speaker 1: is probably best at right guard because he's not on
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: this list. So I'd say Noah Best and then Harris
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: at right tackle. I would like Noah Best at left guard.
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: Move Harris to left to right guard. Move Foggia to
- 1:14:01Speaker 1: right tackle and put Deacon Schmidt at left tackle. That's
- 1:14:03Speaker 1: what I would like to see. Yeah.
- 1:14:13Speaker 3: I personally would like to find a spot. I've had
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: a lot of conversations about this over the last two weeks.
- 1:14:20Speaker 3: I'd like to find something where you've got the same
- 1:14:23Speaker 3: guys going two, three, four weeks in a row. And
- 1:14:28Speaker 3: if somebody gets hurt, instead of swinging three different guys
- 1:14:31Speaker 3: around at this point, you're playing with an extremely young
- 1:14:34Speaker 3: offensive line. I mean, you've got to get to spots
- 1:14:38Speaker 3: where you're throwing somebody out there and say, all right,
- 1:14:41Speaker 3: it's your job for the rest of the year.
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: Go learn.
- 1:14:48Speaker 3: And one person I think of specifically on that one is,
- 1:14:52Speaker 3: I think it's about time we see Deacon Schmidt get
- 1:14:54Speaker 3: a long run.
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: At right tackle.
- 1:15:00Speaker 1: I want him at left. I prefer that. I really do.
- 1:15:06Speaker 2: I just know that he's worked out quite a bit
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: at right more than left.
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: I can see that. I can totally see that.
- 1:15:12Speaker 2: But I want him.
- 1:15:13Speaker 3: That's also because I don't think that anybody expected Fasucci
- 1:15:16Speaker 3: to be out for this entire season.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: Right.
- 1:15:21Speaker 3: Just put some– I mean, because I think if OJ
- 1:15:23Speaker 3: is at the– if you say, all right, young pup,
- 1:15:27Speaker 3: this is Colin Simmons.
- 1:15:28Speaker 2: It's going to be a.
- 1:15:29Speaker 3: Tough day for you. We believe that you've got the
- 1:15:32Speaker 3: grind in you. Let's get out there. We're going to
- 1:15:35Speaker 3: help you as much as we can. We're going to,
- 1:15:36Speaker 3: you know, run plays away from him, run straight at
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: him at times, but just get it to where the
- 1:15:42Speaker 3: rest of the offensive line can set up shop and
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: develop some chemistry because that's, I think that's another big
- 1:15:49Speaker 3: thing that, you know, the bill beating bows, you know,
- 1:15:52Speaker 3: offensive line flexibility, I think has helped him several years ago,
- 1:15:57Speaker 3: but now it's hurt this offensive line for multiple years.
- 1:16:03Speaker 3: Having guys play three different positions in one season and
- 1:16:07Speaker 3: never like the same in two games in a row.
- 1:16:10Speaker 1: Exactly. So.
- 1:16:14Speaker 3: All right.
