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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Carey, Josh, Eddie and George all jump in and go after the issues after the Sooners squeak out a 31-29 victory over UCF on Owen Field. The offense and special teams set a very ominous tone on an afternoon that had fans wanting to support their conquering Red River Rivalry foes. But the Sooners came out uninspired on offense and incapable on special teams. The defense did it's job, but the rest was a little too white knuckle for anyone's taste. We talk about the Tawee Walker suspension, what...

Eddie said it best in this podcast. Brent Venables Oklahoma football program just accelerated during today's 34-30 win over the Texas Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. Dillon Gabriel put together a performance for the ages and any Sooner fans on the fence about how far he can lead this OU team has to adjust their thinking. Gabriel was magical at times with his feet. He made a lot of big plays with his arm. And the biggest throw of the day with just :15 seconds left. It gave the...

The Eskridge Lexus Postgame is here as Carey, Eddie and George breakdown OU's 50-20 win over Iowa State. But who are we kidding? OU-TX is coming and it's going to be one of the biggest games in years inside the Cotton Bowl. We give Dylan Gabriel his leis, and we talk about the defensive lapses in the first half. We go stock up and stock down with George for the first time. Some harsh grading was made. But we also get a head start on the matchup with Texas, the mentality of OU's team right now...

Oklahoma traveled to Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats in their first true road test. Amongst a rowdy crowd the Sooners missed some opportunities to separate themselves early. Dillon Gabriel missed some deep balls to open receivers but overall put together a winning performance. The run game is as perplexing as ever as only Marcus Major and Tawee Walker took snaps. But the defense was there to hold it all together. Danny Stutsman had 13 tackles to lead the defense and it's clear Brent...

Carey links up with Eddie and George who are live from The University of Tulsa's H.A. Chapman Stadium. We talk about the explosive day for Dillon Gabriel and the young players who emerged at receiver and on both sides of the ball. Suddenly that receiving corps has life and looks great. What about the running game? And how is the offensive line coming along. The defense had mostly good moments but Kevin Wilson did some stuff to that secondary that shows work is still needed. But what do we...

Carey, Eddie and George are here for the Eskridge Lexus Postgame podcast where we breakdown the Sooners 28-11 victory over the SMU Mustangs. The defense was awesome and Danny Stutsman looks like the guy we always thought he could be. In fact, we talk about a lot of different players on the defense who stood out Saturday evening. But we don't have as many stars to talk about on the offensive side of the ball outside of Tawee Walker. We can sprinkle in some Andrel Anthony, Jalil Farooq and...

The Oklahoma Sooners took out Arkansas State like we've rarely seen in a season opener at home. The 73-0 was complete and showed very few flaws in the first game coming off a 6-7 season in 2022. Dillon Gabriel through for 308 yards on 19-of-22 passing and 2 TDs. When the second half started with a 45-0 score, Gabriel's day was done. He handed off the keys to Jackson Arnold, who went 11-for-11 for 114 yards and 1 TD. Josh, Carey, Eddie and George are all here to break it down. We even dig into...

Sooners fans got a chance to see an extended look at freshman five-star Jackson Arnold at today's Red & White scrimmage. How did the guys see things? Dillon Gabriel ran with the first team offense all day and had his moments after a slow start. In the end, the defense was the most impressive part of today's scrimmage. The transfer portal appears to have been kind to Brent Venables on defense. We break down everything we saw. The running game? Broken down. The receivers? Broken down? The...
