OCCASION. YOU GOT TO GIVE ME SOME GRACE, I LOVE IT. THIS IS HANNAH HOOVER. I’M BRYAN KEATING ALONGSIDE PARKER THUNE. WELCOME TO THE SHOW. OF COURSE, FROM OU INSIDER AND OUR FRIENDS AT CREF. ONE OF THE INSIDERS HERE. AND I AM CURIOUS, YOU KNOW, YOU WALKED UP AND YOU SAID, I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS FOOTBALL GAME. IT’S IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE’VE HAD A GAME THIS SIGNIFICANT IN THIS STADIUM. WHAT ARE YOU THE MOST EXCITED ABOUT WATCHING THAT HERE TODAY? I THINK JUST THE CHESS MATCH BETWEEN THE COORDINATORS. THAT’S THE BIGGEST THING. WELL, AND THE HEAD COACH IS MOORE. OH YEAH. FOR SURE. YOU HAVE A HEAD COACH ON ONE SIDE, BRANT VENABLES, WHO CALLS HIS OWN DEFENSIVE PLAYS. YOU HAVE HEAD COACH ON THE OTHER SIDE, LANE KIFFIN, WHO CALLS HIS OWN OFFENSIVE PLAYS. AND IT WAS A REALLY FASCINATING BATTLE BETWEEN THOSE TWO. LAST YEAR IN OXFORD, OF COURSE, YOU KIND OF SAW KIFFIN START TO FIGURE OUT VENABLES SCHEMATICALLY THERE IN THE SECOND HALF, AND OLE MISS PULLED AWAY. SO I THINK THE WEATHER BEING WHAT IT IS TODAY, FAVORS OKLAHOMA A LITTLE BIT. I THINK THEIR MISSION IS GOING TO BE TO RUN THE FOOTBALL. I THINK YOU SEE THAT IN THE DECISION TO START RYAN AT RIGHT TACKLE TODAY, THEY WANT TO ESTABLISH THE RUN, AND I THINK AS LONG AS IT STAYS SOGGY, OKLAHOMA MAY BE ABLE TO FIND A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A RHYTHM OFFENSIVELY THAN OLE MISS. I THINK WE HAVE A BIGGER DAY FOR TORI BLAYLOCK OR ABOUT THE SAME. YOU GET 100 YARDS. THAT’S PRETTY GOOD, NO DOUBT. I THINK THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A XAVIER ROBINSON. OKAY, OKAY WITH YOU NOW ARE YOU FEELING XAVIER? OBVIOUSLY, BOTH BLAYLOCK AND ROBINSON ARE GOING TO TOTE THE ROCK QUITE A BIT, AS THEY DID LAST WEEK IN COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA. BUT TO ME, AGAIN, I THINK YOU GO BACK TO THE WEATHER FACTOR, RIGHT? IT’S SOGGY. YOU WANT TO GO BETWEEN THE TACKLES. XAVIER ROBINSON HAS PROVEN TO BE A REALLY, REALLY EFFECTIVE BETWEEN THE TACKLES RUNNER, SO IT WOULDN’T SHOCK ME IF HE CARRIED THE BALL 1520 TIMES A DAY FOR OKLAHOMA. ALL RIGHT. ANY CONCERN ABOUT JOHN MATEER’S HAND AND THE WET AND THE FOOTBALL? BECAUSE ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU JUST SAID ABOUT THE RUNNING GAME FOR OKLAHOMA, IT CAN GO THE OTHER WAY PRETTY FAST IF MATEER’S NOT HEALTHY, NO DOUBT. AND I THINK THAT’S WHAT EVERYBODY’S EAGER TO SEE AS OF TODAY. HE’S A MONTH REMOVED FROM THAT THUMB SURGERY. SO THE EXCUSES START TO DRY UP AT A CERTAIN POINT, RIGHT. YOU GOT TO START PLAYING YOUR BEST BALL AGAIN. AND I WILL SAY BEING DOWN THERE WATCHING HIM IN WARM UPS, HE LOOKS REALLY COMFORTABLE. HE LOOKS TO HAVE ALL OF HIS ZIP BACK. I DON’T KNOW IF YOU COULD SAY THAT THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, JUST WATCHING HIM WARM UP AND WATCHING HIM PLAY AGAINST TEXAS AND SOUTH CAROLINA. SO I’M EXPECTING A MORE VINTAGE VERSION OF OKAY, GOOD. THAT’S GREAT, I LOVE IT. WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN. I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT JOHN MATEER CAN DO, BECAUSE WE REALLY HAVE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF A PAUSE ON HIS HYPE SINCE REALLY, I DON’T KNOW WHEN WAS IT AUBURN LIKE? WE READY TO SEE JOHN MATEER AGAIN? SO YOU THINK THIS IS THE DAY? OBVIOUSLY HE DIDN’T PLAY AGAINST KENT STATE, DIDN’T PLAY TERRIBLY WELL AGAINST TEXAS. PLAYED SO-SO LAST WEEK AGAINST SOUTH CAROLINA. WASN’T EXPECTED TO DO A WHOLE LOT. I THINK THIS IS PROBABLY THE GAME WHERE THEY TRY TO CUT HIM LOOSE A LITTLE BIT MORE. NOW. AGAIN, I THINK IT’S STILL GOING TO BE A RUN FIRST GAME PLAN FOR OKLAHOMA, JUST GIVEN THE CONDITIONS HERE, AS WELL AS THE REALITY THAT YOU’RE STARTING TRUE FRESHMEN AT BOTH TACKLE POSITIONS, BUT CURIOUS TO SEE WHETHER THEY TAKE SOME SHOTS DOWN THE FIELD TODAY WITH JOHN MATEER, I CAME OUT OF THE TOP OF THE SHOW, SAID, THIS IS A PLAY OFF ELIMINATOR. THAT’S THAT’S GOT TO BE THE WAY YOU SAY THE WINNER STILL IN IT. THE LOSERS GOT THEIR HANDS FULL. THE LOSER HAS ZERO MARGIN FOR ERROR THE REST OF THE WAY. FOR OKLAHOMA, WITH THE SCHEDULE BEING WHAT IT IS IN NOVEMBER, THIS FEELS LIKE ONE YOU GOT TO HAVE BECAUSE NOVEMBER YOU’RE GOING TO DROP A GAME AT SOME POINT. THAT’S JUST THE REALITY OF IT. THAT’S A GANTLET THE REST OF THE WAY IN THE SEC. WELL, THIS IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF FUN. PARKER FROM OU INSIDER AND OUR FRIENDS AT CREF. WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME. ENJOY THE GAME. SHOULD BE FUN. TRY TO STAY DRY AND STAY WET AND OUT OF THIS STUFF, BUT APPRECIATE YOU. THAT’S TRUE. YEAH YEAH YEAH, I WILL BE INSIDE. I’LL BE STANDING OUT THERE IN THE RAIN FOR THREE HOURS. I LIKE PARKER, I LIKE PARKER, I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR PONCHO READY. YOU KNOW I DO. YOUR HAIR LOOKS GOOD, SO HOPEFULLY YOU CAN STAY THAT WAY. MY BROADCAST HAIR, IT’S IT’S PASSABLE. ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I’LL TAKE IT. TH
