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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 this close win means going forward, the state of the Big 12, the state of the running back room and much, much more. It's almost a full crew. Eddie was a few beers deep. We also go through the short list of stock up from today's game. There were some positives.

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 Sooners an improbable comeback victory. But it wasn't just the offense. OU's defense came in and went toe-to-toe with a team everything thought would be more physical than the Sooners. In fact, both sides of the line were the more physical units for most of the game. Carey, Eddie and George break it all down and give their biggest takeaways from an incredible day in Dallas.

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 and how that will mesh with Texas' big game experience so far this season. So much to go over and so much to talk about this coming week. It gets started right here.

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 Venables has changed the mentality of this unit. Key Lawrence continues to come on and Billy Bowman made a reception deep in OU territory as well. Eddie and George join Carey from the Cincinnati pressbox for this week's Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.
