U40: What's broke? What just needs tweaking? OU after the loss Sep 30, 2020

Show notes

Carey and Eddie got their licks in on the OU loss to Kansas State on the Eskridge Lexus postgame podcast. Now Josh and Bob get to join in with their impressions of what went wrong. The defense, the offensive line, the quarterback, the running backs, the receivers. Nothing goes without being broken down after the 38-35 loss. Can the Sooners turn things around and fix the problems before taking on Iowa State this weekend? Also, where is Alex Grinch with this defense right now? Are they mentally in the tank? And the turnovers are still unbelievable. At least, the lack of them. We also hit on the commitment of Jalil Farooq as well as the latest scouting trips across the region. It's not great right now, but a win at Iowa State could get things back on track in this bizarre season. Get ready for another edition of the Unofficial 40. The full rundown follows below: 00:00 - Jumping right in. Josh and Bob's thoughts on Kansas State loss 5:00 - How bad is OU's offensive line right now? Can it be fixed? 12:47 - OU defense problems 36:57 - Why can't OU force turnovers? 50:20 - HSFB; We went and saw Jordan Mukes 57:05 - R250 WR Jalil Farooq commits to OU
