POSTGAME: OL makes progress, Jackson runs and defense comes up big in the end Sep 15, 2024

Show notes

Josh has joined the postgame pod this week along with Carey, Eddie and George. We're taking a deep dive into OU's 34-19 win. Maybe this is therapy? Maybe it's a little bit of frustration release? Maybe we don't even know what we're doing. Carey certainly can't remember anyone's name anymore. Eddie can't pronounce them. The Offensive line was better. At least for a little while. Then it was very bad. We have the plan for OU's offensive line moving forward because it's clear the best advice comes from the Internet. Jackson Arnold should stop running so much. But maybe he should start running more. Gameday is coming to town next week. Good thing or bad thing? OK, this team may not be a juggernaut, but it's starting to improve in some areas. And there's still no sign of Nic Anderson or Branson Hickman. And even less of a sign of Andrel Anthony. So if you are riding with the team that brought you, this is the team. And this is the podcast. The Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

Where are the problems with the offense? Littrell, Arnold, receivers, OL? Sep 08, 2024

Show notes

On this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast, we're breaking down OU's 16-12 struggle to victory over Houston. So what is going wrong with the Sooners. Injuries, playcalling, talent, coaching.. we try and figure out what is to blame for this lethargic OU offense under Seth Littrell. Is Jackson Arnold losing confidence? How much more can this defense do? There is better competition ahead. That starts with Tulane next Saturday. When is too soon to call for changes? Our X mentions demand changes now. And the Crimson Corner too. But hey, it's late night, you guys have been drinking and waiting for this, so we won't force you to wait any longer. It's our take on everything we've seen the last two weeks and where we think this thing could be headed.

Oklahoma's 51-3 win over Temple not exactly without flaws Aug 31, 2024

Show notes

The Oklahoma Sooners get the season opening blowout win over Temple as expected. But there are certainly areas of concern for fans and critics. Most notably, an offensive line that looked shaky at best. The lack of a running game against an overmatched opponent until Taylor Tatum took over late was disappointing. And an injury to Jalil Farooq that will sideline him for an extended period of time is concerning. Carey, Eddie and George are here after coming back to the Campus Corner studios from the stadium to break it all down. And it wasn't all concerning, the defense was stifling most of the night forcing turnover after turnover. The kicking game was even a major bright spot. And it appears Brent Venables defense is ready to take things to another level in year three. It's week one. So plenty of this is overreaction or reaction unjustified. But we like some of what we saw and we hated other parts. That's just what we do around here. The Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast starts now.

Are the Sooners going to be an explosive offense in 2024? Apr 21, 2024

Show notes

Carey, Eddie and George are here to breakdown what they saw from the Sooners on offense and defense in the annual Red & White Game. The biggest story was the connection between Jackson Arnold and Deion Burks. Burks looks like a star and the offensive line actually did a nice job blocking for the running backs and giving Arnold some protection. We'll go over who played, who sat out and who didn't play well. And Jovantae Barnes continues to be a mystery. He suited out, but didn't play in the scrimmage. And pretty much every other running back on the roster did play. The defense had plenty of moments too. The defensive line flashed a little bit. Gracen Halton, Davon Sears, David Stone and Jayden Jackson had their moments. P.J. Adebowore also had moments along with R Mason Thomas and Ethan Downs. We're breaking it all down. Secondary, linebackers, defensive line, quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, tight ends, special teams, you name it. All right here on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast.

Jackson Arnold debut derailed by 6 turnovers Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

The Sooners fall to Arizona 38-24 in a game that was as ridiculous as it was interesting. The Sooners committed 6 turnovers in the game. Three of those were interceptions by freshman phenom Jackson Arnold. So what happened? And what does this mean for this team moving forward? Where are the biggest issues on this team headed to 2024 and what can be fixed the most? Carey, Eddie and George convene for the last time from San Antonio to break it all down from the final stop of the 2023 football season. George is a little miffed about postgame media access as well.

U40: OU beats TCU 69-45, finishes 10-2 on the season Nov 25, 2023

Show notes

Oklahoma finished out the regular season by beating TCU 69-45. It wasn't a pretty game defensively but offensively, it was a great way to send out Dillon Gabriel and Drake Stoops. Brent Venables has gone from 6-7 to 10-2 and we take some time to celebrate what that should mean moving forward. And what about players like Danny Stutsman, Jalil Farooq and Billy Bowman. Will they be back with the Sooners next year? What about the transfer portal? What do the Sooners need to add? They can't take everyone. So where do they go to fill the biggest holes? That's what she said. Eddie and George turned this into a family Thanksgiving by picking at each other throughout the pod. And we show plenty of appreciation for the things Dillon Gabriel did for this program over the last couple of years.

OU wins 31-24 over BYU. But lose Gabriel for second half Nov 19, 2023

Show notes

It was not an easy victory. BYU put up a fight on a rainy day that made a sloppy field even more sloppy. But the concerning part of the day was losing Dillon Gabriel just before halftime to a concussion. So the question becomes whether he can be ready to play on a short week as the Sooners take on TCU Friday at 11am. The Sooners did have Jackson Arnold behind Gabriel. But as he got his feet wet as the OU starter, Gavin Sawchuk got his feet red hot as he broke off some big runs and housed it from 16 yards out. The defense wasn't great. Part of that could have been Danny Stutsman battling through food poisoning. But the secondary is getting thin and it's starting to become a problem for a team that gave up too many chunk plays. Carey is joined by Eddie and George from Provo for the final regular season road edition of The Eskridge Postgame Podcast.

Lebby shows offense can still impress in 59-20 rout of WVU Nov 12, 2023

Show notes

The Sooners did it. They got a lead and built on it and built on it and built on it. Even when West Virginia took the ball 75 yards in four plays to start the game, OU answered with a 75-yard, 4 play drive of their own. Dillon Gabriel passed for 5 TDs and ran for 3. There was a brawl in the endzone, Danny Stutsman was back and leading the team in tackles. Kip Lewis started over Jaren Kanak. Drake Stoops has turned into a beast over the past two weeks and we're up late to make sure we get this thing out there. Carey and George try and explain the Big 12 tiebreaker rules even though they barely can put together sentences at this time of the morning. Basically Texas losing to Iowa State is the best medicine. And if you thought OU's Texas hangover was bad, wait until you see Oklahoma State's Bedlam hangover. We breakdown the big win and the crowd's distaste for referees.

U40: The Bedlam loss has broken us (but mainly George) Nov 05, 2023

Show notes

Oklahoma loses Bedlam 27-24. Later that evening three dudes get together to talk about what happened. We've crossed some boundaries here. I will admit that. This is not the podcast to listen to with children in the car. George is fed up with this season. And he lets all of us know it. The offense continues to suffer from prosperity allergies. They just don't have a killer instinct. The defense wasn't perfect, but they were damn good at times even without Danny Stutsman. We can complain about every position on offense. But in the end, it's not cohesive, it's not reliable and it remains the most inconsistent offense we've seen in years. There's going to be a lot of hate flowing this week. Some of it came during this pod. Hopefully this is a cathartic listen and not a tough one for all the fans out there trying to figure out how the Sooners fix this.

OU has problems on offense and it starts with the coaches Oct 29, 2023

Show notes

Eddie and George are in Lawrence, Kan., and they have just watched the Sooners fall to the Kansas Jayhawks for the first time since 1997. This isn't a drunk pod, but you might call it the accusation pod. Or the complaint department pod. We breakdown what we saw today on both sides of the ball. It was another disjointed performance by an OU offense that wasn't supposed to be facing a great defense. There were too many penalties, too many turnovers and too many reminders of how bad this team was a year ago. Because this team is starting to look a little bit like last year's squad. Is Jeff Lebby big enough for this job? We actually have to ask that question after the last two offensive performances. With Bedlam on the horizon, this team needs to get it together fast. Or they could get embarrassed in the last Bedlam game as we know it. It was not a good day and we want answers. Join us on this week's Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.
