Brandon Drumm and Travis Davidson examine whether Oklahoma found real answers during its bye week and what must happen for the Sooners to upset No. 1 Texas inside the Cotton Bowl. The discussion begins with John Mateer, his turnover problems and whether reviewing the Georgia film can convince him to stop pressing and trust Ben Arbuckle’s offense. The guys also examine Oklahoma’s defensive matchup with Arch Manning, Texas’ running game and an offensive line that could be vulnerable against the Sooners’ defensive front. Brandon shares the latest information surrounding Michael Fasusi, addresses speculation about his absence and discusses several players who could return against Texas. The show also includes audience questions, Super Chats, an examination of how many points Oklahoma needs to score and extensive recruiting intel following Brandon’s travels around the country.
