What do OU and Brent Venables have to do moving forward? Is OU moving forward with Venables? And what role will Ben Arbuckle and John Mateer play in saving Venables' job in 2005. Lots of passion, lots of yelling, plenty of f-bombs, exactly what you would expect after a season ending loss that gives OU a losing record.

OU defense gives up big plays in 37-17 loss. On to big changes Dec 01, 2024

Show notes

The Sooners went into Baton Rouge expected to give LSU everything they wanted after a big win over Alabama last week. But as has happened with other road SEC contests, the Sooners let a productive first half give way to mistakes in the second half. That offense that looked so capable against Alabama disappeared. Jackson Arnold's legs kept things going for a while. But when the Sooners fell behind after a kickoff return for a touchdown and two long TD passes, OU's offensive line turned back into swiss cheese. Arnold couldn't find open receivers or didn't have time to scan the field for open receivers. The running game wasn't what we had seen building over the last month. And all of a sudden, the defense was giving up huge TD passes to a hobbled Garrett Nussmeier. But in the end, it was the end of a poor regular season. The bowl game will probably look like a mash unit after the transfer portal and players sitting out are known. But all eyes turn to OU's next offensive coordinator. The decision is expected to be known in the next few days. The gang talks about what they know on the process and what names they are hearing floating around. Come for the on the field football anger, stay for the more calm talk of the future and what is next for Brent Venables as he tries to right the ship and fix this OU football program.

Sooners beat Bama 24-3 giving Venables a signature SEC win Nov 24, 2024

Show notes

Oklahoma beats Alabama 24-3 and we could not be more shocked and surprised. The gang was there for the field storming through the postgame press conferences and have a lot to talk about. What does this win mean for the future of recruiting and the attractiveness of the offensive coordinator search? Does it take some heat off of Brent Venables for another year? And how could this affect recruiting? Michael Fasusi still hasn't decommitted from the Sooners. What it must of been like to see that score from Austin? The Sooners may not have fixed everything, but this team has developed physicality that is winning battles against some of the SEC's best. And Xavier Robinson took another massive leap tonight. Jackson Arnold's future? We had a chance to catch up with him to take his temperature on what the future holds. And plenty of breakdown from a defense that was just dominant from beginning to end for the first time this season. It's time to try on happy Sooner fans. Let's go!

U40: How much damage did this Missouri disaster do? Nov 10, 2024

Show notes

The Sooners held a 23-16 lead with 2:00 remaining in their matchup with Missouri. All they needed was one more defensive stop. It never came. And then Jackson Arnold fumbled the ball and Missouri scooped and scored to take an improbable 30-26 lead. The people are gonna want answers. Carey, Eddie and George broke down how they saw this game, the issues, the people responsible for the loss and where this program goes from here. You don't want to miss it. George actually quit the pod at one point. Carey needed to edit a lot of f-bombs after it was all over. What the hell? Running back rotation? Receiver rotation? Arnold's confidence? The offensive gameplan? OU's collapse on defense? How much is Brent Venables responsible for? Is his job on the line? We break it all down now on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

Eskridge Lexus Postgame: What we take from OU's 59-14 win over Maine Nov 03, 2024

Show notes

Oklahoma beats Maine 59-14 and we honestly are trying to figure out what to make of it. The offense built on their run game after last week's success against Ole Miss a week ago. Jovantae Barnes had a career day with 203 yards on the ground and is starting to show the reason he was so highly thought of even after battling injuries earlier in his career. Jackson Arnold came up with explosive plays in the passing game, including a 90-yard TD pass to J.J. Hester. The longest ever by an OU receiver on Owen Field. The defense gave up a drive early but stiffened mightily until late in the game. What does this performance mean moving forward for the Sooners as they get back to SEC play next week against Missouri. Bowl eligibility is on the line as well. A lot of time for youngsters on the offensive line, new combinations in the secondary... There is no shortage of things to breakdown from a day full of playing time for those deeper down on the roster.

Are we more or less upset after this loss to Ole Miss? Oct 27, 2024

Show notes

The Sooners headed to Ole Miss down a 20-point underdog. No one expected the Sooners to bring home a win, but they entered halftime with a 14-10 lead after Jackson Arnold and the OU offense put together a couple of methodical drives and the defense turned back the Rebels time and time again. But the second half was a different story. An offensive line that played their best half since starting SEC play, fell apart. They collapsed. And OU's chances at winning went with it. A couple of busts in the OU defensive secondary helped Jaxon Dart and the Ole Miss offense take the lead. And Jackson Arnold ended up being sacked 10 times on the day. All of this coming on the heels of Joe Jon Finley taking over as the offensive playcaller after Seth Littrell was fired following the loss to South Carolina. There were positives. There were negatives. And the Sooners now must move forward wondering if this thing is ever going to look like something heading in the right direction.

Oklahoma loss to S. Carolina puts a lot of people on the hot seat Oct 20, 2024

Show notes

It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast and no one holds back on this edition after the Sooners have hit new lows with a 35-9 loss to South Carolina. Carey, Josh, Eddie and George have plenty to say. Some of it had to be bleeped out. Is Brent Venables forced to make changes offensively after the most recent loss? Where does Bill Bedenbaugh sit in all of this? The offensive line is terrible. And it's killing this season. Jackson Arnold took back the quarterback position after Michael Hawkins had three turnovers and gave the Gamecocks a 21-0 lead before most people had their pregame buzz wear off. And what does Brent Venables have to do now? Is his job on the line? Lots to chew on and lots for you to digest.

OU's offense officially embarrassing in 34-3 loss to Texas Oct 13, 2024

Show notes

The Sooners' offense has become one of the most inept units in the country. And today's 34-3 loss to Texas took things to a new low. With two weeks to prepare, the offensive staff laid an egg on the Cotton Bowl turf. Texas picked up those eggs and threw them at the OU defense, crushing their spirit with every three-and-out from Seth Littrell's offense. Carey, Eddie and George convene to talk about what we saw today and how bad it really was. The questions are being asked. Should Seth Littrell be relieved of playcalling duties? Should he be fired? Should OU go back to Jackson Arnold after seeing what Michael Hawkins did today? We break it all down from our perspective. And how responsible is Brent Venables in all of this? How much are the players responsible? One thing we do know. Texas has more explosive players at several positions. More than the Sooners might have even when healthy. How did this happen? Where does OU go next? What happens the rest of this season?

This offense and team have life after a 27-21 win over Auburn Sep 29, 2024

Show notes

It seemed like this game and this season were on the brink as the Sooners fell down 21-10 to Auburn. This was a team the Sooners circled as a win in the offseason. But with this offense, anything had become possible. Carey, Eddie and George regroup from the game and get down to business to discuss one of the greatest road comebacks in recent OU history. This doesn't mean everything is fixed, but the Sooners have a week off before the Red River Rivalry. Michael Hawkins Jr., showed us something at quarterback. The OU defense continues to play with grit and determination. They haven't had a lot of support, but they step up and make plays when it matters. Just as R Mason Thomas did once again on Saturday. Add Brenen Thompson, Bauer Sharp and J.J. Hester as capable and potentially reliable targets for Hawkins. The offensive line wasn't perfect, but they appeared to improve against a decent defensive line. In the end, the Sooners scored the only points of the fourth quarter. Even Zach Schmit stepped up with two big field goals. It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

The offense is a disaster so OU starts over with Michael Hawkins Jr. Sep 22, 2024

Show notes

The Sooners lose to Tennessee 25-15 in one of the most frustrating offensive outings since Bob Stoops took over for John Blake in 1998. This OU offense hasn't just regressed, it's disappeared completely. It looks like Michael Hawkins Jr., will be the near future. But with lots of tough opponents still to be played, the prospects for the season just took a nose dive on Owen Field tonight. Could changes be on the horizon? Carey, Eddie and George break it all down. What are we most concerned about? Who deserves the blame for all of this? Is Jackson Arnold done at OU? How many more games can OU win playing at this level? It was a very concerning performance and has us questioning just about everything going on inside the Switzer Center. This was not a drunk pod, but it probably set the record for f-bombs in a pod. We found at least 17 of them. And we think we caught them all. But we all lost our minds at one point or another while recording this pod. Come enjoy the madness with us, won't you?
