Ep. 21 - Don’t Waste Baker Mayfield’s Talent

In the opening take, Lee waxes poetic about the best quarterback and the best offense in college football. Then Grant joins in for a deep exhale after the Sooners Bedlam win. The guys try and fix OU's defense, find a little bit of hope moving forward, and Lee second guesses Lincoln Riley. 3:40 Bedlam was a stressful watch 5:15 OU’s defense is fortunate to have gotten out of that game having allowed only 52 points 6:25 What is wrong with OU’s defense? 9:10 Lee is incredibly frustrated that the defense is scheming to prevent big plays — yet OU gives up a ton of big plays 11:50 Grant has made peace with this Sooners defense 14:30 Jordan Thomas had a big cast on his right leg at the end of the game and his health moving forward is in question 15:15 Tre Norwood played really well against OSU and he may have saved the game with a huge play in the 4th quarter. 18:25 Lee breaks down the 2nd qtr TD pass to James Washington and explains that it was not totally on Parnell Motley 20:10 Grant points out that Rudolph made a lot of great throws against OU 21:00 was Rudolph dealing with a shoulder issue on Saturday? 22:15 Jordan Thomas vs Marcell Ateman 23:50 OU’s experienced secondary has struggled this year and Grant wants to see the DBs simply go back to fundamentals 24:35 Grant comes in fire hot saying Ateman is objectively better than James Washington 26:55 Lee has hope for the defense moving forward 30:05 The advance stats show that offenses are not efficient against OU’s defense — so the Sooners should probably just quit giving up big plays 32:10 it’s worth mentioning that OU’s defense was able to get a stop at the end of the game when the Sooners needed it 32:50 we discuss the targeting penalty against Will Johnson 35:15 the Sooners got lucky on that last 4th down play where Rudolph overthrew Tyron Johnson 36:35 OU’s offense was great, but both of Mayfield’s interceptions were bad 37:15 Mayfield is clearly the best QB in OU history 38:40 Marquise Brown leads the Sooners in receiving yards 42:00 it’s annoying when people who don’t watch Big 12 football say the Big 12 doesn’t play defense 43:10 OU may have the best offense in the history of college football 47:10 Mayfield made an amazing play on that throw back pass to Rodney Anderson which resulted in a TD 49:15 Lee questions Lincoln Riley’s decision to call a timeout in the 3rd quarter. Grant comes to Riley’s defense. 52:10 Grant turns into a football film study guru by breaking down a NFL-like play made by CeeDee Lamb
