Ep. 84 - OU’s Indefensible Defensive Game Plan

In the opening take we hear from Lincoln Riley after Bedlam, then Lee admits his outlook on the rest of the season has changed. Following that, Grant joins and the guys immediately question OU's defensive game plan against OSU. It just did not make any sense (4:45). Grant makes a really good point about OU's continued incompetence in defensive game planning (12:55). We start looking ahead to the offseason and possible changes for the defensive coaching staff (16:25) before we go in on the terrible play by the secondary (18:00). For some reason OU felt like playing a base 4-3 with Caleb Kelly on the field predominantly was a good idea (20:45). Lee thinks people making Mike Stoops related jokes are losers (22:45). Quickly Lee praises Neville Gallimore's play in Bedlam (25:00). Then it gets serious as we wonder if Lincoln Riley will ultimately make the right decision when hiring a defensive coordinator (26:10)? It turns out the "keep it simple" approach by Ruffin McNeill has some drawbacks (30:55). WHY DOES OU KEEP DROPPING 8, IT DOESN'T WORK (35:40). OSU committing a false start actually helped them late in the game because OU's defense is so bad (45:55). The offense was awesome again and the terrible defense is forcing Kyler and co. to be perfect (47:20). Time for "3 Word Reviews" and we kick things off by talking about OSU's failed 2-point conversion attempt where the Sooners got very lucky (56:00). In a weird way, is it actually better to be a fan of OU compared to a fan of Alabama (1:15:50)? Virginia Tech got embarrassed by Pitt and more random college football talk to close things out (1:20:50). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonNews9
