Oklahoma Sooners Postgame

Latest Episodes:

Sooners use defensive chaos early and a John Mateer comeback to beat Vols Nov 02, 2025

Show notes

A lot of people (COUGH COUGH... Eddie) didn't believe the Sooners could come to Tennessee. A lot of people can't be blamed. This program hasn't had a big road win in the SEC in the last two years. How would this be any different? It just finally was as the Sooners beat Tennessee on their own field 33-27. The defense kept the Sooners in it until the offense showed up in the second half. R Mason Thomas' 71-yard fumble return for a TD set the tempo. Tate Sandell's 3 field goals in the second quarter was another piece of the puzzle. But even though the Sooners made some awkward decisions late, they were able to survive an onside kick in two separate instances. And John Mateer actually looked like the John Mateer OU fans thought they were getting. Carey, Eddie and George are here to wrap it up on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

We watched OU lose to Ole Miss and we're very confused about everything Oct 26, 2025

Show notes

The Sooners looked like crap early and then finally took the lead after picking themselves up off the mat in the third quarter. Before it all fell apart again. Penalties indicate all kinds of discipline issues with this team. So what is the biggest issues with this team? The head coach? The offensive coordinator? The quarterback? The attention to detail? The talent level? The playcalling? The gameplan? My gawd! We went through it all on this episode of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast. Is this just life in the SEC when you aren't at the top? Did playing a top team like Ole Miss expose things we didn't feel like were major issues? Like skill talent on offense? And what is John Mateer as a quarterback? Is the SEC exposing him? Or is he struggling to play like himself as Dillon Gabriel first did when he arrived into the Oklahoma quarterback spotlight? Just get ready for some therapy. Carey, Eddie and George are here to hand some out, even if it's Scoop staff helping Scoop staff.

Is OU's 26-7 win over USC the start of something big on the O-Line? Oct 19, 2025

Show notes

Oklahoma's 26-7 win over South Carolina was another big step for Brent Venables and the offense after last week's disjointed loss to Texas. The offensive line looked like a real unit for the first time all season against an SEC opponent. Tory Blaylock ran for 100 yards and this time it wasn't Temple. Could this bet the start of something big for Bill Bedenbaugh and the offensive line? It wasn't always pretty. The punting was rough in the first half. The referees weren't a treat to watch either. But the Sooners came out of the halftime locker room swinging and had this game all but over with starting the fourth quarter. The defense looked like a unit ready to reclaim their status as one of the top units in the country. It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast with Carey, Eddie and George.

OU loss to Texas puts real problems out in the open on offense Oct 12, 2025

Show notes

Carey, Eddie and George are back inside the Cotton Bowl pressbox late into the night to hash out what they saw in Oklahoma's 23-6 loss to Texas on this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame. It seems like this keeps happening the same way lately!!! The offense not being able to run the football has become a huge problem. Not to mention Jaydn Ott was supposed to be a big answer to that problem. But he lasted about as long today as some employees at SoonerScoop that are never spoken of again. Should John Mateer have played? He looked like a quarterback who hadn't practiced in three weeks. Did all the espionage tactics work against the Sooners this week? At times, the Sooners didn't look a lot different than last year's Sooners. Which is scary. Where to the Sooners go from here? What do we make out to be the biggest problems on this team right now? The boys are back in Dallas. And it sucked again.

OU gets the blowout 44-0 win over Kent State. Can Hawkins beat Texas? Oct 05, 2025

Show notes

It was as easy as everyone thought it would be. By the time the fourth quarter rolled around, this game was over. In the end, the Sooners finish off their non-conference slate with a 44-0 win over Kent State. But all eyes were on Michael Hawkins Jr. The player who might have to start against Texas if John Mateer needs more time to recover from his thumb injury. What did the gang think about what they saw from Hawkins Saturday afternoon? And we got to see some flashes out of Jaydn Ott and Danny Okoye. That's what we wanted to see. Javonnie Gibson got his first snaps as a Sooner and Eli Bowen made it back in the secondary. But we all know what's ahead. It's Texas. So once again, how do we feel about facing a team that just lost to Florida before the OU game finished?

OU's defense too much for Jackson Arnold and Auburn to overcome Sep 21, 2025

Show notes

Oklahoma's matchup with Auburn was expected to be a difficult one. Some may have believed the Sooners might be able to blow out Auburn during Jackson Arnold's return to Norman. But Arnold was a gamer, and the OU rushing attack couldn't find room to run against the Auburn defense. But in the end, John Mateer made enough plays to complement the Sooners dominant defensive effort for a 24-17 win. The 4-0 Sooners now head into a bye week, but not before we break down everything we saw on Saturday afternoon on Owen Field.

No letdown from Sooners who take care of business against Temple Sep 14, 2025

Show notes

The Sooners went out and took care of business against Temple winning 42-3 and displaying their dominance on defense. It was a promising development with Auburn coming to Norman next week. But there are some personnel concerns coming out of the game. R Mason Thomas was ejected for targeting and is facing a first half suspension next week. Will Brent Venables and the Sooners appeal the suspension? Also, one of OU's top receivers, Keontez Lewis left the game and could have suffered a concussion. We asked Brent Venables for an update after the game. And once again Jaydn Ott played in mop up duty once again. What's going on there? That's the bad and there was plenty of good to talk about on Saturday. Carey, Eddie and George break it all down as we have plenty of individuals to celebrate after this performance. No, the offense was not perfect. But it's better to be wanting more after putting up 42 points than it is to be upset at a total lack of production as we were game after game a year ago. And Tory Blaylock continues to impress. The true freshman looks every bit the part of RB1.

OU's 24-13 win over Michigan makes a statement to the nation Sep 07, 2025

Show notes

Oklahoma defeats Michigan 24-13 in front of a nationally televised audience and they make a statement to the rest of college football. The Sooners are a team to be respected on both sides of the ball and John Mateer used his arm and his legs to put together a performance worthy of a Heisman Trophy candidate. The OU defense pummeled Michigan's physical offense throughout the day. And even though some special teams miscues took away from the overall performance of the win, this is an OU team that looks like it can turn around and start competing at a level OU fans expect. Carey, Eddie and George break it all down on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast

Mateer impressed, offensive line did not in 35-3 opening win Aug 31, 2025

Show notes

John Mateer set the OU school record for passing yards in a debut as he threw for 392 yards and 3 TDs against Illinois State in a 35-3 win. But there were some issues. The running game couldn't get going and that was largely part to an inconsistent offensive line that saw several players being swapped for others throughout the night. Defensively, it was solid but not dominating up front. And we saw a lot of wrinkles from Brent Venables with different personnel packages. One of the players who really emerged Saturday evening was tight end Jaren Kanak. Who might single handedly save the tight end position at OU. And we think the Sooners might have found a punt returner. Carey, Eddie and George break it all down in your first 2025 Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

The Crimson Combine was not a game. But we're postgaming anyway. Apr 13, 2025

Show notes

The Sooners held the first ever Crimson Combine today in Norman instead of the annual spring game. Here's our take not just on what we saw today, but our takes about the spring as a whole after speaking with Brent Venables, offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle, quarterback John Mateer, Nate Dreiling and Wes Goodwin, along with several players. The offense gives hope if you are willing to take it. The defense has had some players step up and some players are very intriguing. It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame show wrapping up the Crimson Combine and the interviews after it was over.
