OU Football Q&A: Mateer's Confidence & Fasusi's Status + Sunshine Pumper Awards & CFB Week 5 Preview
The Oklahoma Breakdown with Ikard and LehmanShow Notes
Gabe Ikard and Teddy Lehman answer listener questions about John Mateer's confidence, the optimism about OU football's run game heading into the season, what the Sooners offensive line could like like if Michael Fasusi can return, what the players can do to turn things around this season, an under the radar player that could play a big role in changing the outlook of the Sooners season and Jahsiear Rogers not playing at all. They hand out their Sunshine Pumper Awards for Best Offensive Play, Offensive MVP, Best Defensive Play and Defensive MVP from what they've seen in OU's four games this season. They preview the best games of week 5 of college football: Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs, Florida Gators vs. Missouri Tigers and Ohio State Buckeyes vs. Iowa Hawkeyes. Ikard and Lehman give their "Winners & Losers of the Week": a former Auburn staffer, David Rudolph Jenrath, was arrested for leaking trade secrets, Major League Baseball is playing playoff games in the middle of the afternoon on a Tuesday, Oklahoma City Thunder held media day, started training camp and hopefully will restore sports joy to Oklahoma football fans and South Carolina star defensive end Dylan Stewart was suspended by Shane Beamer and the SEC for his antics in the Gamecocks game against Alabama.
