Latest / Sooner or Later Sports / Sooners Latest Injury Report Has Some Good News and Really BAD news
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So Brent Venables had his presser, so it would have
- 0:02Speaker 1: been Arbuckle. That one didn't go as well as I thought.
- 0:04Speaker 1: We're going to break that down later on today. But
- 0:07Speaker 1: he did come out yesterday and today. Brent Venables talked
- 0:10Speaker 1: about a couple of injuries that are critical. So we
- 0:13Speaker 1: got some good news and some bad news. We'll start
- 0:16Speaker 1: with the bad news, and we'll end off on a
- 0:18Speaker 1: good note, unfortunately. So we'll talk about that. Before we
- 0:22Speaker 1: do that, welcome to Sooner or Later Sports, part of
- 0:24Speaker 1: the Unfair Sports Network. I'm your boy, Jay. Thank y'all
- 0:27Speaker 1: for pulling up to the channel. This video is powered
- 0:28Speaker 1: by our partners at PrizePix. New users play five, get
- 0:30Speaker 1: $ 150 in bonus lineups.
- 0:32Speaker 2: If you win. So I'm going to go ahead and
- 0:34Speaker 2: just apologize.
- 0:35Speaker 1: Yeah, this sucks. And I know the comment sections have
- 0:40Speaker 1: been full. I've read all your comments. Believe me, I
- 0:43Speaker 1: see them. I see the mean ones. I see the
- 0:45Speaker 1: ones from the competition coming in. Don't feed the trolls.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Don't feed the trolls. I know you want to.
- 0:52Speaker 2: Don't.
- 0:53Speaker 1: People like to dance on the grave. or at least
- 0:57Speaker 1: the perceived grave of the opposition. So don't feed into
- 1:00Speaker 1: it because I feel like a bounce back can happen.
- 1:02Speaker 1: I'm not going to lose my faith, but I'm not
- 1:04Speaker 1: going to lie to y'all and act like I ain't concerned.
- 1:07Speaker 1: I'm sick to my stomach too, just like y'all.
- 1:09Speaker 2: It's upsetting.
- 1:10Speaker 1: If you watch me over on Locked On Sooners, me
- 1:11Speaker 1: and John basically had a good yell fest about this
- 1:14Speaker 1: because I'm mad. It's like I was lied to because
- 1:18Speaker 1: I was so far. Now the bounce back better be big.
- 1:21Speaker 1: And Ben Arbuckle.
- 1:22Speaker 2: Claims he takes blame and he going to fit.
- 1:24Speaker 1: It better.
- 1:25Speaker 2: It better. It better.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But again, we'll break that down a little bit later.
- 1:29Speaker 1: But I want to talk about Brent Venables giving us
- 1:31Speaker 1: some updates on some health. First off, the bad news.
- 1:35Speaker 1: So that big hit that Trail Harris took. Yeah, he
- 1:37Speaker 1: ain't coming back for a bit. And I had a
- 1:40Speaker 1: funny feeling about that because when I saw him take
- 1:42Speaker 1: the hit, I'm like, oh, man, good catch across the middle.
- 1:44Speaker 1: He held on to the ball. And OK, dang, that sucks.
- 1:48Speaker 1: But then he came back in the game in the
- 1:50Speaker 1: third quarter and he hit that big quarter.
- 1:51Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Like he was balling. And I was like, OK, Trail's good.
- 1:56Speaker 1: We should be solid. Well, it appears that it's more
- 1:59Speaker 1: of an internal thing that flares up later. He's under
- 2:02Speaker 1: medical evaluation. I have heard rumors of what it is,
- 2:07Speaker 1: but we ain't gonna put that out there until we
- 2:08Speaker 1: get something definitive. But he is gone for a bit.
- 2:12Speaker 2: Sucks.
- 2:12Speaker 1: Get a new receiver again. You're excited about doing some
- 2:15Speaker 1: big things. Takes a hit and he gets hurt. And
- 2:18Speaker 1: he took a hit because that was a big hit
- 2:20Speaker 1: across the middle. But like I said, held him to
- 2:21Speaker 1: the ball, came back in the third, still was able
- 2:24Speaker 1: to ball out, which satisfied me. And I'm sad that
- 2:27Speaker 1: we just lost a big piece of the way this
- 2:30Speaker 1: offense was going. Which now means that we're going to
- 2:33Speaker 1: do one of two things. A ton of Elijah Thomas
- 2:36Speaker 1: or a ton of 12.
- 2:37Speaker 2: And 13 personnel.
- 2:39Speaker 1: We'll see, which means for the uninitiated, multiple tight ends
- 2:41Speaker 1: on the field. I'd like to go 12 and then
- 2:44Speaker 1: mix in. The third was our receiver and the fourth,
- 2:47Speaker 1: get a little Mackenzie Alene going in there because I
- 2:49Speaker 1: want some catches from the big tight ends.
- 2:52Speaker 2: They're huge and they're there. Let's take advantage of their size.
- 2:57Speaker 1: But the good news, though, is actually really good news
- 3:01Speaker 1: in my personal opinion. Let's dive into that. Before we continue,

- 3:55Speaker 1: So the good news coming out is yesterday, Brent Venables
- 3:58Speaker 1: talked about how Kip Lewis will be back sooner than later.
- 4:02Speaker 1: And when he says that, it's similar to what we
- 4:04Speaker 1: got with Jake Mikla, who came back this game and
- 4:07Speaker 1: we thought he was gone until Texas. He came back
- 4:10Speaker 1: and was solid, had some misses, but overall was solid,
- 4:15Speaker 1: and that's a good thing. I've heard rumors that Fasusi
- 4:18Speaker 1: is on a good track of making his return versus Georgia,
- 4:22Speaker 1: which is exactly what you're hoping for. You won't need
- 4:25Speaker 1: him against New Mexico. Their defensive line is pretty undersized,
- 4:28Speaker 1: and our guys can move fast enough and be strong
- 4:30Speaker 1: enough to be able to handle them. It's really the
- 4:34Speaker 1: Georgia game is where you need Fasusi. Move Fosier back
- 4:37Speaker 1: to the right. Put him at right tackle.
- 4:40Speaker 2: At this point.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Like you get, you picked up the veteran to help.
- 4:43Speaker 1: That way you can prepare to get Fosu, I mean,
- 4:46Speaker 1: Fosu in the right mindset and play. Gabe Iker made
- 4:50Speaker 1: a good point. Fosu kind of looked like he was
- 4:53Speaker 1: uncomfortable at left, even though he's practiced there. He's practiced everywhere.
- 4:57Speaker 1: The kid is very versatile. He's willing to do it all.
- 4:59Speaker 1: And I expect him to be out there at the
- 5:01Speaker 1: right tackle very, very soon and keep Noah Best out
- 5:05Speaker 1: there and let the young bull continue to grow. Jonathan Hatton,
- 5:09Speaker 1: it sounds like he was warming up, of course, for
- 5:12Speaker 1: the game. They didn't play him because of that ankle,
- 5:14Speaker 1: but it sounds like he'll be good to go for
- 5:16Speaker 1: New Mexico.
- 5:17Speaker 2: So we'll get to see what he is, which is
- 5:19Speaker 2: a big deal.
- 5:21Speaker 1: But besides that, you didn't really have anything, quote unquote, significant,
- 5:24Speaker 1: knock on wood, besides Trill Harris, as far as people
- 5:27Speaker 1: being gone from the game. And I know, I'm like y'all,
- 5:30Speaker 1: I'm stressed. I don't like the fact that we lost
- 5:33Speaker 1: a really good receiver who showed up. Like, we didn't
- 5:37Speaker 1: get a lot out of him out of game one.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Eh, whatever.
- 5:39Speaker 1: He got a nice touchdown out of him. But then
- 5:41Speaker 1: in this one against Michigan, that dude was fine in pockets.
- 5:44Speaker 2: He was getting open.
- 5:44Speaker 1: That throw on the curl that John hit him on, fantastic.
- 5:48Speaker 1: And then he caught that across the middle, held on
- 5:50Speaker 1: to it, and he got hit. And then he caught
- 5:52Speaker 1: a little quick swing pass and took that to nine yards.
- 5:58Speaker 2: His four catches were everything. He was balling.
- 6:01Speaker 1: And to me, a player like that takes a lot
- 6:03Speaker 1: of pressure off of your key guy, Satania, because now
- 6:07Speaker 1: nobody needs to double-team him.
- 6:08Speaker 2: They can't. They were double-teaming him. Michigan had him a
- 6:10Speaker 2: little bracketed.
- 6:11Speaker 1: They were watching him, which I see why Ben was
- 6:13Speaker 1: trying to jet-sweep it and find ways to get him
- 6:15Speaker 1: the ball. Nah, don't force-feed to him. That's been my
- 6:19Speaker 1: thought process in all of this. Don't force-feed it to Satania.
- 6:21Speaker 2: You don't need to.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Use everybody else. McKenzie Alleyne was perfect. They weren't paying
- 6:25Speaker 1: attention to him. Two dudes chased Satania, and he's wide
- 6:28Speaker 1: open up the middle. Do that with E.T. Do that
- 6:31Speaker 1: with Hayden Hanson. Do that with Rocky Beers. Leverage everybody
- 6:35Speaker 1: else and then Satania is going to get his because
- 6:36Speaker 1: you're going to be able to hit him deep because
- 6:38Speaker 1: they're going to be thinking you're going to avoid throwing
- 6:40Speaker 1: it to him because you weren't able to. And then
- 6:43Speaker 1: he's going to start catching some deep passes. I need
- 6:45Speaker 1: Satania to be having like three catches a game and
- 6:47Speaker 1: all of them be like deep and he finishes with
- 6:49Speaker 1: like 70 or 80 yards. At this point, that's your
- 6:51Speaker 1: best bet. You're not going to be able to hit
- 6:53Speaker 1: him across the middle like you want. very often that's
- 6:56Speaker 1: going to be trail space. That's going to be where
- 6:59Speaker 1: ET should play. They're on the outside. Mackenzie Alene should
- 7:03Speaker 1: be in there in the middle, catching passes and falling,
- 7:05Speaker 1: get your tight ends involved. The biggest thing is I need.
- 7:09Speaker 2: All of the big players playing.
- 7:10Speaker 1: So injury report though, the trail sucks, but good to
- 7:14Speaker 1: hear that Kip won't be gone forever.
- 7:17Speaker 2: He may be back probably by Georgia or Texas.
- 7:22Speaker 1: Texas is probably most ideal for me. Because you're going
- 7:27Speaker 1: to need that field general to really help. You're going
- 7:29Speaker 1: to really need them for Georgia because they run the
- 7:31Speaker 1: ball a lot. But granted, you've got a lot of
- 7:33Speaker 1: big dudes at linebacker. All them 6'4, 240 dudes should
- 7:36Speaker 1: be ready. Dane Bathurst, get yourself ready. I want you
- 7:39Speaker 1: out there hitting people. But I need you all to
- 7:41Speaker 1: fill your holes when your defensive line is just causing
- 7:47Speaker 1: problems in there.
- 7:48Speaker 2: I need you all to get in there and do that. So,
- 7:50Speaker 2: to me.
- 7:52Speaker 2: We should be long-term. We should be fine.
- 7:55Speaker 1: But Trails out indefinitely. Hatton should be back. So you're
- 7:58Speaker 1: getting more running. I want to see Hatton run with
- 8:01Speaker 1: Torrey as well as Avant.
- 8:02Speaker 2: That's your three backs.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Make that happen. Same thing with give me some ET action.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Give me more Satania. Let's go with that.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Let me know what y'all think. Hop in the comments.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I want to hear y'all's thoughts. I know there's going
- 8:15Speaker 1: to be a lot of complaining in the comments section.
- 8:16Speaker 1: There's going to be a lot of y'all saying great things.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I've seen the positive ones.
- 8:19Speaker 2: I love it.
- 8:20Speaker 1: I'm going to go back and go hit the heart
- 8:21Speaker 1: button and all of it. But just like you all,
- 8:24Speaker 1: I am pretty depressed and discouraged as well. So I
- 8:27Speaker 1: want to hear from you all. Shout out to our
- 8:29Speaker 1: partners at PrizePix. New users play five, get $ 150 in
