Oklahoma Sooners Postgame

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 cha...

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 ba...

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....

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 i...

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 p...

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 f...

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 Soon...

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 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...

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 was...

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....

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...

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 b...

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 m...

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 ho...

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...

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 o...

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...

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 b...

Carey and Eddie finally sit down back in Norman to record the Eskridge Lexus Postgame pod/season wrap-up episode. The Sooners finished the season with a 6-7 record and it's still a losing record. Not something that will ever be acceptable at Oklahoma. But major questions marks were getting ready to greet us heading into the offseason. And with the way the offensive line played, the way Gavin Sawch...

Everyone is back from Lubbock and we're ready to talk about it. The Sooners lose the regular season finale in OT to Texas Tech. Carey and Eddie start things out and Josh joins us as he returns home from his trip to Oklahoma. What went wrong and how it gets fixed. What does Brent Venables need to do to fix the problems with game management. How does he need to fix things with Jeff Lebby and the off...

The Oklahoma Sooners move to 6-5 and make themselves bowl eligible with a win over Oklahoma State Saturday night on Owen Field. It was also senior night and Drake Stoops was one of the brightest offensive stars of the night. But the offensive stars took a backseat the defense which intercepted four passes from Spencer Sanders and kept getting big stop after big stop even when the offense wasn't he...

Eddie is headed back to Pittsburgh after another terrible loss by the Oklahoma Sooners. Carey is back at the office ready to tear this program down to the studs. Losing 23-20, the Sooners have us shaking our heads once again and now we're questioning even more. The coaches don't escape the criticism this time around. But Carey and Eddie noticed some things in the post game interviews tonight. Eddi...

There were a lot of emotions running throughout the Baylor game. And when it was over, there were lots of emotions about the loss. Here's the thing, Carey, Josh and Eddie got together after to record the Eskridge Lexus Postgame pod. And we had serious thoughts about what the loss should mean for fans. We're no longer talking about conventional changes on the roster or the on the staff. We want OU...

The Sooners traveled to Ames, Iowa, to face an Iowa State team that had lost four straight. But those were all close losses and the Sooners have a recent history of struggles against the Iowa State defense. It was also a case of wondering if the defense was going to show improvements after a bye week and some time to get fresh legs. It all worked out as the Sooners got a win 27-13. Jeff Lebby seem...
