football

commentary with Bud Light Game Time hosted by Eskridge Lexus of Oklahoma City you're awake, the ghost of a horrible defense visited Memorial Stadium once again Kansas State 41 Oklahoma 34 in shock of Jim Traver's defense from the past, we've been saying how good it's been and all about an embarrassing defensive performance tonight by Oklahoma and embarrassing Watts, you know Al, I gotta tell you That if I'm alive two years from now, I'll be picking Kansas State to win this game is the most mind-blowing thing I've ever seen.

Kansas State's offense in the first three games did nothing. OU's defense looked a lot better and then they came here and mixed it up and just I mean, literally, they ended up with 500 yards, they had to finish at 500 yards. I mean, I know you did a good job during the third quarter and the fourth, but then they came back in that fourth quarter. 509 is what you said Matt, yeah, yeah, 500 yards, 41, that's a bad offensive team, yeah, well, tonight they didn't look, no, no, I mean, they used Martinez. Martinez was amazing. Deuce Vaughn is just an amazing stud, middle of the road in fact. the game you said you agree with Tram you think he's the best running back in the league let's put it into perspective how bad this loss is this should be one of the easiest games oh you play Jurassic Season that's what you'd think I mean , now look what happens, we have to forget about the Tulane loss, we'll see what Kansas State does in the future, I don't know, maybe they'll fight you, but it's not as good as Oklahoma State, I don't think so .

I agree, I mean, but don't use it, no, oh, they're not done now, this is horrible for fun, but they made a joke, that's right, if they can't defend this guy, they may be in trouble for the rest of the year. . that's now the penalties were unbelievable, I mean, the amount, oh my gosh, on offense was just unbelievable, the false starts, just ridiculous, a big penalty for holding in a bad position and you've been saying all the week you can. You will not lose your teams with you, much more talented. No, you're right, you're absolutely right and we were hoping that with the new attitude, the new coach and all that, they would beat the teams they're supposed to. be but they didn't do it today so this is another one.

I can not explain it. I know OU fans don't want to hear it, but they lose a lot of games as double-digit favorites. I don't understand why that. It's, I don't know, I mean, let's give a lot of credit to Kansas State, absolutely, they're well-coached, the

football

team. Martinez was amazing. Deuce Vaughn is just a, I mean, it's just a gimmick, but you have to win this game. behind 14 nothing right away yeah and by the way that's something they need to address because they were behind Nebraska seven to nothing also remember Kent State at first got ahead of them they have to find a way to start faster because you start to play against a better team like Kansas State.

We said this was the best team they played all year. Well, you fall behind 14-nothing and what happens is that they gain confidence in Al and getting more than 500 yards is totally unacceptable. Totally unacceptable. Gabriel missed some. passes, I'll take your Knight over 34 points against a good defensive team that's really good, that's enough, that shouldn't be enough to win, in fact, you picked them to score 28. Yeah right, I picked them for myself . I picked them to score 35 now we both picked Kansas State to score less. I had Kansas State covering the spread, but I didn't have them to play them that hard, so I don't know, it's just mind-blowing to me. it really is and now how good is OU?

Do we know how good they are? Well hey let me tell you next week tcu offense is good you're right that's exactly right next week if viewers place texas offense they are good. the osu offense, well they're all better than the

kansas

state

offense, well you're right, I mean, you're absolutely right, just, mind-blowing, Matt Ravis, I'd love to, I mean, excuse me, Matt Meyer, I apologize , Maddie, um, I would. I love it, let's get some stats here, but I'd love for you or someone to tell us when the last time a quarterback and running back ran for over 100 yards in a game against OU was as bad as some of the defenses. although you did, I don't remember Matt, you might remember something Matt, no I don't mean, not offhand, no I don't really know the answer, do you want the Kansas State quarterback and running backs?

Come on? I don't know, that's it. good question just no I don't remember anything I don't remember came up in Manhattan when they lost Jaden hurts here I mean uh the stats they had in that game were incredible and they've had quarterbacks and their quarterbacks almost. every year they compete against OU and why does OU have such a hard time with Kansas State? This is a new coach, she has been here for a few years, but she is not the same coach for the period of time that she has. players, if you know you've been, you have to hope that it's not Kansas State, that it's just Kansas State because, with the schedule getting tougher here, yeah, I got a job right there and let me tell you something and I know that Blaine just texted us. and he's right, he's right on the money, he said Kansas State will go seven and five like they always do, yeah right, you know, every time we see them beat OU, we all say wow, but they never do anything great , it's just oh you, I don't understand it's like I don't know the moment when purple comes on the field oh, you don't play that well, maybe oh, you're not that good this year, but they've been good in the past. really good and they have lost, but this is a difference.

I agree, but I'm talking about that. I agree, but yeah, three out of four years I don't get it, Al and before that they lost to him a couple of times. You double-digit favorites. It's simply amazing. I mean, if you think about it, Kansas State has beaten OU a lot more than OSU has a lot more than Baylor has a lot more than Texas. How is that possible? I don't know, I just don't know what it is, it's just mind-blowing, it really is, but I'll tell you one thing, one thing they've got to figure out why the hell they start slow, they've got to figure it out, you can.

You don't go down 14 anything against a decent team and then they get it 31-24, they score, they got it for a long time. You had a great opportunity to test the game and get overtime and then he runs for 40-something yards. Wow, it was Matt Matt. Meyer gives us some statistics, they are ugly. I mean, there were obviously good stats on the offensive end for OU, but on the other terrible end, what do you have? Matt Meyer good for Oklahoma Dylan Gabriel 26 of 39 for 330 yards four touchdowns Eric Gray ran it ran it 16 times for 114 yards, uh Gabriel ran it seven times for 61 yards, uh Marcus, nine carries, 37.

Marvin Mims had four receptions for 87 yards and a touchdown, but I should point out that he had one reception in the second half and that was on I think the last Drive, again, the best player on the team, the offense was good, I mean, you lose the game and your best player touches him four times, no, that's not right, he has a catch in the second half again. I don't. I think this loss is on offense, no you're right, you're right, it's mostly on defense, I'm just saying one sack, you can't give up as much as they did, sorry Theo East, three catches, 75 yards and a touchdown, Jaleel.

Farooq had five receptions for 69. Gray had seven receptions for 45 yards Braden Willis caught five passes for 41 yards and two touchdowns. Major had two catches for 13 yards for Kansas State individually Adrian Martinez How many wives did you do everything you had and lose? to an offense that hadn't done much this year we thought was pretty good so yeah, you're right, you can't, you can't say anything nice Al, I'm with you 100 100 percent uh Kansas State uh for the real quick, I know you'll do. this later, but I want to know now how many penalties you have and for how many yards, uh, 11 of 87.

That's just unacceptable and they were critical, oh my gosh, how about they're lining up? ready to go for it and they get a funny gotta have the ball, okay, kick the field goal, I mean, it was just amazing, everything, I just couldn't believe it, I couldn't believe, go ahead, go ahead, Matt, go ahead , go and give it. We Kansas State stats like Martinez 21 of 34 for 234 yards and a touchdown. He ran it 21 times over 148 years and four touchdowns along with 55. Deuce Vaughn 25 carries 116 yards and a long of 22. uh DJ giddens Two Carries 13 yards. uh Ben Senator uh had four receptions for 80 yards Philip Brooks seven for 56 Melissa four receptions 52 yards and a touchdown uh The Kansas State team had 28 first downs Oklahoma 26.

K-State was eight of 17 on third down Oklahoma 4 of 13 on Third Down, that's not good, guys, no, it's not K-State. They converted both of their fourth down attempts. Oklahoma was one of two on their fourth down attempts. Oklahoma had 550 total yards compared to Kansas State's 509. We gave the pass numbers. on the field Oklahoma ran 34 times for 220, which is six and a half per carry K-State 49 carries 275 yards, that's five and a half per carry uh penalties 11 of 87 for Oklahoma uh six for 37 uh six penalties 37 yards for K -I said that neither team committed a turnover and I thought that for the first time all year the time of possession was indicative of the game, because Oklahoma hadn't had any type of time of possession this year, but it hadn't mattered, the

state

of Kansas does. 33 minutes and 46 seconds per time of possession.

Wow, I mean there's nothing you can say. I mean, you can point out a good thing here and there, but you can't lose this game and I have to tell you, no. I don't want to say that it's our job to talk about this game and we have to point out some of the things that the kids that you know do and I'll tell you that some of the guys on defense that have been really good were really bad. Today Stutzman was terrible, he missed so many tackles, nothing, I mean a couple of other guys on defense, they never touched Martinez, they couldn't get to him.

I thought the only guy on defense that I thought played a good football game was Jalen Redmond, yeah. everyone else Billy Bowman played practically Billy Bowman made a couple of plays. I agree with you on that, yeah, but man, you just gave up 500 yards at Kansas State. I mean, yeah, it's uh, I mean, it's a bad loss and again if the people at Kansas State or anyone else are listening, we're giving credit exactly and I'm sure they wanted to tear them up there. Anthony in the last three games, well, they sure did, yeah, and I don't know, I mean, I don't know how.

In the world, that offense did so bad in the first three games, it doesn't make any sense, it doesn't make sense, Jim, because Adrian Martinez, today, that was beautiful, I mean, the play was just beautiful, I mean, it was beautiful, really. was and then at the beginning of the goal, I thought Levy was very conservative, we were sitting next to each other, they were absolutely just running it and running it and running it, I mean, listen, give it to you and he shot for three. three, whatever, so it's not like they didn't throw it, but you let them run away in front of you and then you're catching up, you're catching up here, you're catching up there and then let me tell you, they came. in the second half and remember they ran the ball really well for a while and then they got stopped and then that's when they got it, that's when they got the penalties that killed them and then I thought it was unusual in the first half.

There's about 59 seconds left and Brent, so I hope someone asked him. Zach asks him that question. I'd love to know why they didn't call their timeouts. They went to the locker room with three timeouts. You can not do that. I'm sorry they had the ball with a minute left, call your timeouts, you can see how quickly the offense can score well, so I don't know, that didn't make much sense to me, it really didn't make much. It made sense, but I thought, I don't know, I couldn't believe I was seeing some of this stuff, but we had said we didn't really know how good this team was, we would find out today, he thought the defense was really good, it's true , they killed Casey Thompson again, they couldn't get to Martinez, he had all day to throw the ball and then they just left and it's like people know you had a quarterback and you ran the ball.

I know. I know Kansas State only had one sack. How many sacks did you have? Oh, you have, uh, uh, Matt, anyone, uh, no, uh, I don't have the defense. I don't think they had any tackles for losses, yes, but was there an actual sack? I don't think anyone texted from the 918 area code and said they answered your question. It was the Baylor game last year. Bohannon had 107 yards on the Smith boy, one running back had 140. Wow, look, that shows how little I follow statistics. because I would have never thought that, well, they have a lot of work to do because let me tell you all the pre-game,drafted, but no, he won't be drafted high, he won't be drafted high at all.

I don't think he. he will be, but I think he could be and I'm not saying he's as good as these guys, but I think he's the type of person like Waller or Kelsey, that type of person, I'm not saying he's as good as him, but Usan a lot to those guys in the NFL and I think he's very strong and can run like a good player, yeah, get back to the phones, you're on the animal, go ahead, hello, can you hear me? Yeah, yeah, go ahead, he's fine, yeah, can you hear me? Yeah, okay, sorry, I just have two quick questions about: Do you know we joined the SEC?

Yes, this I mean the law seems a bit. I mean scare us into joining the SEC. I mean your thoughts on that and then the second thing, I mean how. Do we know that Gabriel was not a transplant from Florida and that he is a Democrat and he is doing well? By the way, Florida by the way is a red state, but anyway, listen, he was an idiot, he was trying to be. I know he was an idiot. I know he was. but no, what I was going to tell you is that they have two years to get to the SEC, two years, so if I'm everything you said, I'll go in 25, but what if they make you go in 24?

They can't make you go, you don't think so, so I don't think the SEC will say oh you, oh, you said they're tied to the Big 12 until the 25th. The Big 12 can't kick him out, the TV contract is until the 25th. .so let me ask you a question, can the SEC say that you are coming? I don't believe it. Oh, no, oh. When they reached the agreement, we're going to 25. So you're saying you should wait until then. What do you think you don't know? It's a great question, yes, at least in a couple of years, at least, yes, but. they're having a great class if they have another great class if that guy Arnold is the type of quarterback they've had before yeah I agree with Al I agree from a football standpoint yeah still They need a couple more recruiting classes. to get stronger, but we all know that decision to go to the SEC had nothing to do with competition, it has to do with money, money, you're right, you're right, in other words, if the finances work and I know they have to pay a big fine to get out early, but if for some reason the money makes sense, like you know how much money they're going to get from the SEC, you know it's worth it, then they'll solve the problem.

Is Joe smart enough if he doesn't think they're ready, you go in there, they'll kick your ass early, you might not recover, um, I keep thinking, I keep thinking, and you say I might not recover, you don't mean like never, right? Me, but no, I mean, look how awkward Ar

kansas

was when now Arkansas wasn't OU, just look at these teams that changed leagues in good shape, if they go in at 24 or 25, they'll be in good shape. They're not as good as Alabama. They are not as good as Georgia. No, but they could play with everyone else.

Look at Alabama. Texas beat him, but Alabama went on to win. You're right, you found a way. to get in, so you're out, I mean, the team played really well, you played poorly, so, okay, we'll take our last break of the night, uh, it's football

feedback

, but it's like time live game from the historic Corner campus in Norman. We're at the RV General Sports Animal mobile studios and driven by Eskridge Lexis of Oklahoma City. We'll come back, take a phone call or two, give our final thoughts and then go to the costume show. Oh you lose 41-34 disappointing night here in Norman we'll be back in the animal foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign foreign let's say a couple more calls and this just happened again and you kept mentioning all week.

You're right, it's a game where, oh, but they might lose more this year and again, we can see two things: one, usually when they lose early, they realize it, but the second is that this It's a new staff that is exactly right. so and new players and new players so let's see if they're going to do that. I know one thing: They lost to a double-digit underdog, like they do every other time, so maybe they will, they will. Maybe uh and and the idea of ​​this defense coming down on you turns on uh against OU is uh, but you know what Texas is the defense sucks today, yeah, yeah, oh, you should be able to score points, there's no doubt about that. and the only thing.

You weren't going to run to you no, you're right, especially with his shoulder, yeah, okay, come on, you're on the animal, go ahead guys, this is me, yeah, it's you, go ahead, please, oh, hey, I was going to say uh as an OSU Fan, this is the best bye week ever with tech snow, you're losing and you know future standards have to be like that. I mean, oh, your defense will make them look like Michael Vick, so I'm really excited, you better not do it. Big cocky kid just let yourself be better go ahead and say we're getting here Bailey it's true you gotta go down and beat Baylor might be a tough place to play well with Baylor so it's going to be a great game it should be a great game.

I just don't think anyone knows what I have to tell you the three of us, Matt Meyer, we've been doing this together for a long time, this is incredible Deja Vu every time OU loses this game early, an OSU fan or a Texas or someone calls and says, "I can't wait to play them." I mean, it doesn't happen every year, so OSU fans should be happy. Both you and Texas lose, but you better go play Baylor now if you win. Baylor on the road, that's the start of something nice, that's what I'll say for OSU, go win on the road and it should be the start of something that could be good, let's get back to the phones, you're on the animal, go ahead Hello, go ahead. yeah, yeah, go ahead, next call, we'll get another one.

I know it's hard to talk, but you're in the animal, come on, what's going on guys, come on, man, hey, come on, we hear you, oh can you hear me? Sorry guys, go ahead, hey, yeah, well, first of all, I gotta get my uh, I gotta give props to my man Jayhawks, I mean, I mean, I know it's a no, it's a knowing that you're posting the game. , but man, yeah, it will. I'm not bragging on him, but man the guy is the best quarterback in the Big 12 right now, you should brag on him, but in the pregame Al said he's the entire quarterback in the Big 12 right now. moment, so you should brag about it, they are playing well. football, yes, they are playing good football, but, yes, it was amazing to see a sold out stadium, in the game tonight, you know a couple of quick things and I'll take it off the air, you know, GM, you say We're not rebuilding, but I think I heard at the beginning of the year that there are like 40, 40, 45 players or something like that that have never put on an OU uniform before and again people are talking about adjustments and stuff, but you know , Nebraska. comes out first first drive scores early on Kent State drives UTEP drives oh you make defensive adjustments and tonight they played a team that is very, very, very well coached and can make adjustments throughout the game so I'm just curious. know what you guys think about that because you know you're going to start facing scenes that are going to make adjustments throughout the game that can actually, yeah, we played that little game of chess, no, we agree, so no, you have to lose all the games. on their schedule, I don't think we've ever said they could lose everything, they'll be favorites in a lot of games, but they could lose every game and, uh, they and I start the pregame show by saying they have to figure out what's wrong by start of the game.

Don't know. I do not know the answer. I don't know the answer, but they better find the answer. Al, no doubt, I mean, uh, what, what, Nebraska did it last week early in the game and tonight you fall behind 14 nothing, I don't care who you play, you're going to be in trouble the rest of the year if you fall behind with someone who holds up the schedule when you're behind 14. nothing no 14 nothing is a I know there's a lot of football left but I'll say it again Kansas State when they're up 14 nothing said we're going to beat this team absolutely you give them confidence absolutely the trust is an incredible thing you go back to the phones you are on the foreign statements of animals very quickly um without a doubt this loss falls on the players, all the coaches and Castiglione for not hiring David Randa yeah, okay, see you oh boy, this it's good at 12:30, I think if we need to make the last call, let's make the last call, man, let's hear it, what do we have Matt?

Uh-oh, ladies and gentlemen, right now I need to announce his last call at the bar, it's time for the last call of the sponsored game. by Tito's Handmade Vodka Tito's does good things for Good Times find recipe videos and more at Tito's vodka.com and we're back, let's get to the phones, you're on the animal, go ahead, am I last call? I think OU has won games like this in the past with a bad defense and if Caleb Williams had been the quarterback we would have won the game, okay, thanks for the call, uh, we can't finish that, let's give me one more, we get a second to last call, come on, there's one more, hey, there, yeah, okay, hey, I got it, so two things real quick, okay, okay, in my opinion, Redmond is not the best defensive line since Tommy Harris and the second question is, when can OU?

Excuse me, let's have final thoughts, sure, yes, you're doing well, what do you have? It's a terrible loss. It's just a very, very bad loss, especially with the remaining schedule and everything we thought the defense was about. It had gotten better tonight. It was a shame. total shame you give up well a memory of the team scored 10 points against Tulane you have over 500 yards today is a defensive shame now let's see if how can they come back uh Brent a head coach got it, got it, got a it's going to be the what you said, you mean what you told me towards the end of the game when we were sitting, you know, guys, yeah, your honeymoon is over, I mean, there it is, as a head coach, the honeymoon is over, oh, that's great. line now I mean, I think you should drop the mic on that, yeah, yeah, that's it, so it's the next two weeks or it's huge for this season absolutely.

I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't agree with you on any more massive things, okay? Now, great job, as always, okay, be careful, Alice, ladies and gentlemen. The legend, 46 years on the radio and counting. You can hear it on Monday at four o'clock. I agree with everything else said, I think the sanctions. They were just horrible every time OU had some momentum every time they gave it back, whether it was a penalty or a kickoff, whatever and I know, Matt, you've been listening to me for years and I know people get tired of that, but I believe in the mental aspect of the game probably more than most people and I think the mental aspect in this game was a billion percent for Kansas State.

I just thought they get up 14 nothing, they're ready to play, they know they can win. and uh, and then the kickoff return puts them back in after it gets to 14-14, so you gotta stop taking stupid penalties, uh, really, really bad loss, uh, Matt Meyer, tell everyone what Coming the rest of the way, man, well, Brent Venables. is next, we'll hear from Ted Roof, we'll hear from Jeff Levy, we might hear from the players too, so we'll have a lot of post-game audio, we'll hear what Bryn Venables had to say about his team. coming soon and we'll have a locker room show tonight yeah a locker room show that's it kid great job as always Matt you're the guy that runs the show all day and well OSU won't be playing at the night next week. because you would have been here for 15 hours, but I guess you'll get out a little earlier, a little earlier, nothing wrong with that, uh, great job, Matt, I appreciate it, thank you so much to my man, uh, Cisco, our new program. director I said uh Matt, you'll like this when I came back here to do the post game show.

I looked at Cisco and said now you're going to find out tonight what sports radio really is. I said um and uh we. We did it? We had a stupid situation for most of the night. We had some good phone calls. Oh, they did a good job, but thanks to Cisco for doing all the work with the video and everything and of course Josh Lupton, who is just as good.
