Oklahoma Sooners Postgame

Would you look at that, the Sooners win! It wasn't the prettiest game in the world, but there are definitely things to be happy about after Oklahoma's 23-15 win over Mississippi State. John Mateer, hats off. Peyton Bowen is possibly the best safety in college football. Isaiah Sategna did exactly what your star wide receiver should do. . I have no answers for Tate Sandell though, sorry. While there was no Kamario Taylor, the defense still showed up despite the opposing offense having little fight to give. Is this team fixed? No. But a win in this league, especially with...

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Oklahoma is back to its old self...from three weeks ago. In all honesty, the offense looked promising for 3 quarters. The loss of a fully healthy Ryan Fodje wasn't a shot the Sooners were built to take. John Mateer made the same mistakes we saw before Texas, and now we wonder: what does OU do next? Is it time to look toward the future? Is this the most disappointing start to a season in recent memory? I mean, Eddie and George get INTO IT in this one. Frustrations are high for everyone...

The Oklahoma Sooners did the unthinkable. They went into the Cotton Bowl and played a turnover free game, found some room to run and let the defense and special teams score touchdowns. Meanwhile the Sooners were much better this year containing Arch Manning, although he did hit a few big passes on the OU secondary that was missing starting corner Eli Bowen. And the Lou Groza version of Tate Sandell showed up to hit the game winner from 47 yards out as time expired. We recap all the good things in this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast. And...

John Mateer was the biggest reason the Sooners fell behind and lost any chance of competing with Georgia Saturday in Athens. Carey, Eddie and George all weigh in on not just how the team played, but what should happen next. Why didn't the Sooners move away from Mateer and try something else? Is there any good that came out of Mateer's performance outside of the turnovers. And why would that even matter? Oklahoma lost 41-13 at the hands of Georgia. The offense, bad. The defense, held it's own at times. Play calling, not the worst we've seen. The turnovers...

Let's preface this by pointing out that the Sooners did win. However, getting booed by your own fanbase is concerning. The defense was great, but once again the offense was just awful. From the indecisiveness in the run game to constant mistakes, the unit isn't good enough to play, let alone in the SEC. The road doesn't get any easier from here as a road game at Georgia and the Red River Rivalry await. Do the guys see any hope? Is there a light at the end of the tunnel for Ben Arbuckle's offense? Find out on this edition...

Controversy from last week didn't matter, Oklahoma walked in to Ann Arbor and just got whooped. From terribly quarterback play, a struggling offensive line, and a run game that just isn't working; this was a rough one. Do I really need to tell you that though? I mean that's why you are here. Anyway, welcome to this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

Well the wait is over, Oklahoma has played a football game in 2026. The offense had quite the day with plenty of different Sooners reaching the endzone, and wait...how many tight ends were on the field? The defense did their part in the shutout, I mean it was a shutout after all; but Brent Venables wasn't too pleased with the group. Either way, game one was a success for Oklahoma as they prepare to make the trip North to Ann, Arbor Michigan to take on the Wolverines. All that and more on this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame...

Well, if you weren't there, you didn't see it. Unfortunately. But Carey, Eddie and George were there for the entire Red & White scrimmage and they are here to breakdown what they saw. Who stood out? What were they most excited about? Do they have any major concerns? How did the offense look? The defense? The special teams? We've done postgame interviews with Brent Venables, Ben Arbuckle, John Mateer and more. We breakdown what they had to say. Just sit back and be Helen Keller while we paint the picture for you. Do not be Stevie Wonder. We all know...

Oklahoma took a 17-0 lead to start the game and we had visions of a national championship running through our heads. Then things snowballed in Alabama's direction and the Sooners end up losing 34-24. Carey, Eddie and George are here to talk about how it all went wrong. We also talk about this season, that was one of our most enjoyable to cover in quite a long time. And where do we fall on the future of things inside the OU program? Is John Mateer still the answer at QB? Is Ben Arbuckle? And how the hell did this...

It definitely wasn't pretty on Saturday. But this is what we've learned about turnover margins. You have to work that much harder to overcome 3 interceptions. John Mateer struggled, but found enough magic to throw two long TD passes to Isaiah Sategna and Deion Burks. The defense sprinkled more magic of their own as Peyton Bowen jumped in the air and intercepted LSU in his own endzone after the Tigers had just returned a Mateer interception deep into OU territory. So are the Sooners an automatic selection into the College Football Playoff? The should be. And we have plenty of...

It's probably not a game you are going to make sure you re-watch on a loop, but OU's 17-6 win over Missouri proved their defense is one of the best in the country and one of the best of the last couple decades in Norman. We start with the defense and another elite performance from the Sooners even without R Mason Thomas. This team all but shut down Ahmad Hardy and the return of Beau Pribula wasn't gameplay. The Sooners still had all the answers for Missouri's offense. The OU offense? It was enough but not what Sooner fans...

Oklahoma's 23-21 win over Alabama brings up so many questions about the future of Oklahoma football under the direction of Brent Venables. But first, let's recognize what a great win this was for the Sooners. It's a win many people didn't think this program was capable of pulling off. But they did it and now we must re-adjust our expectations. The Sooners look like a playoff team. But the win over Alabama was because of the defense and turnovers. Carey , Eddie and George join up to talk about the monumental win over Alabama. The offense, the defense and special...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Oklahoma took on Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl and it was a roller coaster of a contest that the Sooners ultimately lost 21-20. Carey, Eddie and George took to the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast to talk about not just the game, but the season as a whole and why things ended up the way they did. 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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
