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. It's the Eskridge Lexus Postgame show wrapping up the Crimson Combine and the interviews after it was over.

2024 is finally finished. OU loses 21-20 to Navy
Oklahoma took on Navy in the Armed Forces Bowl and it was a roller coaster of a contest that the Sooners ultimately lost 21-20. Carey, Eddie and George took to the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast to talk about not just the game, but the season as a whole and why things ended up the way they did. What do OU and Brent Venables have to do moving forward? Is OU moving forward with Venables? And what role will Ben Arbuckle and John Mateer play in saving Venables' job in 2005. Lots of passion, lots of yelling, plenty of f-bombs, exactly what you would expect after a season ending loss that gives OU a losing record.

OU defense gives up big plays in 37-17 loss. On to big changes
The Sooners went into Baton Rouge expected to give LSU everything they wanted after a big win over Alabama last week. But as has happened with other road SEC contests, the Sooners let a productive first half give way to mistakes in the second half. That offense that looked so capable against Alabama disappeared. Jackson Arnold's legs kept things going for a while. But when the Sooners fell behind after a kickoff return for a touchdown and two long TD passes, OU's offensive line turned back into swiss cheese. Arnold couldn't find open receivers or didn't have time to scan the field for open receivers. The running game wasn't what we had seen building over the last month. And all of a sudden, the defense was giving up huge TD passes to a hobbled Garrett Nussmeier. But in the end, it was the end of a poor regular season. The bowl game will probably look like a mash unit after the transfer portal and players sitting out are known. But all eyes turn to OU's next offensive coordinator. The decision is expected to be known in the next few days. The gang talks about what they know on the process and what names they are hearing floating around. Come for the on the field football anger, stay for the more calm talk of the future and what is next for Brent Venables as he tries to right the ship and fix this OU football program.

Sooners beat Bama 24-3 giving Venables a signature SEC win
Oklahoma beats Alabama 24-3 and we could not be more shocked and surprised. The gang was there for the field storming through the postgame press conferences and have a lot to talk about. What does this win mean for the future of recruiting and the attractiveness of the offensive coordinator search? Does it take some heat off of Brent Venables for another year? And how could this affect recruiting? Michael Fasusi still hasn't decommitted from the Sooners. What it must of been like to see that score from Austin? The Sooners may not have fixed everything, but this team has developed physicality that is winning battles against some of the SEC's best. And Xavier Robinson took another massive leap tonight. Jackson Arnold's future? We had a chance to catch up with him to take his temperature on what the future holds. And plenty of breakdown from a defense that was just dominant from beginning to end for the first time this season. It's time to try on happy Sooner fans. Let's go!

U40: How much damage did this Missouri disaster do?
The Sooners held a 23-16 lead with 2:00 remaining in their matchup with Missouri. All they needed was one more defensive stop. It never came. And then Jackson Arnold fumbled the ball and Missouri scooped and scored to take an improbable 30-26 lead. The people are gonna want answers. Carey, Eddie and George broke down how they saw this game, the issues, the people responsible for the loss and where this program goes from here. You don't want to miss it. George actually quit the pod at one point. Carey needed to edit a lot of f-bombs after it was all over. What the hell? Running back rotation? Receiver rotation? Arnold's confidence? The offensive gameplan? OU's collapse on defense? How much is Brent Venables responsible for? Is his job on the line? We break it all down now on the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast.
