Why can't OU move on from John Mateer? Should they? Let's fight!
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, wow! The bye week is here, Red River is up next and honestly, Carey is the only one showing even the slightest glimpse of hope? Eddie and George on the other hand...well just watch and you'll see.

Where in the world does Oklahoma football go from here?
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?

Postgame Pod: An embarrassing day of football for the Sooners in Michigan
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.

Sooners' offense shines everywhere in 51-0 beatdown against UTEP
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.

Sooners fall to Bama 34-24 as OU blows a 17-point lead in the CFP. Again!
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 special teams unit fall apart at the most inopportune time? The Sooners brushed shoulders with greatness, but they failed to climb the mountain top. How far away is this team? What pieces do they need? What changes need to be made? All of that and more in the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sooners find a way once again and now sit in the driver's seat for CFP spot
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 harsh words for those who are already trying to stir up controversy by saying they shouldn't be in the dance. The Sooners finish the regular season 10-2 and 6-2 in the SEC. And we have more football to play. But first, it's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sooners win a rock fight with Missouri, move to 9-2
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 are used to. The effort still came against what might be the best defense OU has faced this season. Carey, Eddie and George gather to discuss the win and the standout moments from the Sooners big win. We also talk about playoff scenarios as the upsets weren't really flowing on this Saturday. Where do the Sooners sit in a possible national title run? We break down how we see it moving forward. And George wants to remind you one more time: OU still has to beat LSU. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Did we just witness history with OU's 23-21 win over Alabama?
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 teams that led to the win. The Sooners went in and did something few other teams in the SEC have done. It might mean they have finally joined the ranks of elite programs in the SEC. Just so much to discuss on this edition of the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Sooners use defensive chaos early and a John Mateer comeback to beat Vols
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 puzzle. But even though the Sooners made some awkward decisions late, they were able to survive an onside kick in two separate instances. And John Mateer actually looked like the John Mateer OU fans thought they were getting. Carey, Eddie and George are here to wrap it up on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.

We watched OU lose to Ole Miss and we're very confused about everything
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 top team like Ole Miss expose things we didn't feel like were major issues? Like skill talent on offense? And what is John Mateer as a quarterback? Is the SEC exposing him? Or is he struggling to play like himself as Dillon Gabriel first did when he arrived into the Oklahoma quarterback spotlight? Just get ready for some therapy. Carey, Eddie and George are here to hand some out, even if it's Scoop staff helping Scoop staff. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is OU's 26-7 win over USC the start of something big on the O-Line?
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 had this game all but over with starting the fourth quarter. The defense looked like a unit ready to reclaim their status as one of the top units in the country.

OU loss to Texas puts real problems out in the open on offense
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 like a quarterback who hadn't practiced in three weeks. Did all the espionage tactics work against the Sooners this week? At times, the Sooners didn't look a lot different than last year's Sooners. Which is scary. Where to the Sooners go from here? What do we make out to be the biggest problems on this team right now? The boys are back in Dallas. And it sucked again. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

OU gets the blowout 44-0 win over Kent State. Can Hawkins beat Texas?
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 to see. Javonnie Gibson got his first snaps as a Sooner and Eli Bowen made it back in the secondary. But we all know what's ahead. It's Texas. So once again, how do we feel about facing a team that just lost to Florida before the OU game finished? #ad Visit EskridgeLexus.com or call 405-755-9000 and be a part of the Scoop's favorite fleet of vehicles.

OU's defense too much for Jackson Arnold and Auburn to overcome
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. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

No letdown from Sooners who take care of business against Temple
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 played in mop up duty once again. What's going on there? That's the bad and there was plenty of good to talk about on Saturday. Carey, Eddie and George break it all down as we have plenty of individuals to celebrate after this performance. No, the offense was not perfect. But it's better to be wanting more after putting up 42 points than it is to be upset at a total lack of production as we were game after game a year ago. And Tory Blaylock continues to impress. The true freshman looks every bit the part of RB1. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

OU's 24-13 win over Michigan makes a statement to the nation
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 level OU fans expect.

Mateer impressed, offensive line did not in 35-3 opening win
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 handedly save the tight end position at OU. And we think the Sooners might have found a punt returner. Carey, Eddie and George break it all down in your first 2025 Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Crimson Combine was not a game. But we're postgaming anyway.
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.
