Ep. 216 - Has the OU Defense Regressed Back to Square One?

No opening take today as the guys jump right in and give their first thoughts about OU being in danger of losing to Kansas Saturday. Grant says OU's defense is back at square one -- and he may be correct. Lee was stunned by OU's inability to adjust to what KU was doing in the 1st qtr. The Jayhawks were running 2 plays and OU could not stop them. Have you lost all confidence in Alex Grinch? Why have other Big 12 teams absolutley dominated Kansas, but OU could not (5:55)? After all this, OU could bounce back and play better against Tech -- but how many points are the Red Raiders going to score on this defense (19:30)? Grant continues his hot criticism of Alex Grinch and it's stunning how quickly this thing has fallen apart. OU's 8-0, but it doesn't feel like it. Lee can't get past that everybody else had no problems with Kansas, but OU did (24:00). Is there anything OU can do to fix the defense? Lee can't believe how bad the secondary looks. Why does it look like zone defense for OU is just blindly running to vacated space (31:00)? Caleb Williams came back down to earth a bit vs. Kansas, but he made some incredible plays that won OU the game (41:05). Grant bottom lines it: OU has to figure out the defense because the Sooners cannot waste Caleb Williams. Yes, we have the "should Grinch be on the hot seat?" talk (47:20). What has OU fans done to deserve this? The guys disagree on the degree with which the injuries have impacted the team (58:50). Lee needs to remember to not listen to anything the coaches tell us in the offseason. We talk more about Texas Tech (1:04:35). One 3rd & 5 play stood out to Grant. Lee goes over his notes from that play before we wrap things up (1:10:40). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
