WEBVTT A RAIN THE FOLLOWING TUESDAY. YOU ARE UP TO DATE. ♪ >> WELCOME INTO THE SHOW. I AM BRYAN AND HE IS CARSON CUNNINGHAM AND IT IS TIME FOR "CRASHING THE BOARDS". >> MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE WEEK. >> WE ARE NEWLY BACK IN OKLAHOMA CITY. GLAD TO BE BACK. >> I DID NOT GET 8:00 A.M.. >> WE DID NOT HAVE TIME TO GET A TAN. PRESSING THE BOARDS, A LOT TO TALK ABOUT WITH OKLAHOMA STATE PLAYING A BOWL GAME AGAINST THE MISSOURI TIGERS ON NEW YEAR’S EVE. OU LOST 35-44. THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE PLAYOFFS THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THEY HAVE LOST. WHAT DID YOU THINK ABOUT OKLAHOMA? >> I WANTED TO GIVE OLAHOMA A BETTER CHANCE THAN WE SHOULD HAVE COMING INTO THE GAME. MY NUMBER ONE CONCERN IS OKLAHOMA WILL RUN THE FOOTBALL AGAINST OKLAHOMA. OKLAHOMA HAD NO RUNNING GAME. THE ONLY RAN 120 YARDS AGAINST TEXAS TWICE. KYLER MURRAY WAS BRILLIANT WITH HIS SPEED. OFFENSE GOT OFF TO A SLOW START. EVERYTHING WAS ON KYLER’S SHOULDERS. THEIR DEFENSE OF IS NOT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER. I THOUGHT TO WATONGA VIA LOW OUTPUT BALLS IN THE SPACE THAT THE NOT MAKE SENSE WHERE HE WAS MAKING THE THROWS. THEY WERE DIMES. IT REMINDED ME OF 2005 WHERE MATT LEINART THREW PASSE AND CAUGHT THEM ONE-HANDED IN TIGHT COVERAGE. I’M GIVING CREDIT TO ALABAMA. THEY ARE BETTER. THEY ARE DROPPING PUNTS AND DOING STUPID THINGS IN THAT GAME. ALABAMA WAS BETTER. THEY MAY BE BETTER IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. IT IS BIGGER PICTURE WHEN I LOOK AT THE GAME AGAINST ALABAMA. THREE OF THOSE WITH BAKER MAYFIELD AND ONE WITH KYLER MURRAY, IT IS A MISSED GOLDEN ERA FOR OKLAHOMA AND A MISSED OPPORTUNITY. WE WATCHED BAKER MAYFIELD PLAY FOR THREE YEARS. I DON’T KNOW IF A QUARTERBACK CAN GET BETTER THAN THAT EVER AND THEN KYLER MURRAY SHOWED UP AND HIS NUMBERS WERE BETTER. YOU COULD MAKE THE ARGUMENT HE HAD A BETTER YEAR THAN BAKER MAYFIELD. THEY HAVE HISTORICALLY GREAT QUARTERBACK PLAY AND NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. THEY HAVE FOUR BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIPS. THAT’S GREAT, NOT NOTHING. OU WINS ALMOST EVERY YEAR. A MISSED GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO WIN A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP AND THE HISTORICALLY RELEVANT. THEY’RE NOT. COLLEGE FOOTBALL WILL NOT REMEMBER THESE OU TEAMS. PEOPLE IN OKLAHOMA WILL WITH BAKER AND KYLER. >> STATUES. >> COLLEGE FOOTBALL WILL NOT REMEMBER. IT’S A MISSED OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE THEY CANNOT PLAY DEFENSE. >> THEY WILL REMEMBER THEM AS FLAWED. THEY DID A GREAT JOB AUTHENTICALLY. >> WHERE DO THEY GO FROM HERE? WE SAID THEY MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY LAST YEAR AND WILL PROBABLY NOT GO BACK AND 12 MONTHS LATER, THEY WERE BACK. >> I DO NOT PUT ANYTHING PAST LINCOLN RILEY. HE FIRED MIKE STOOPS. HE KNOWS THERE IS A NEW ERA COMING FOR OKLAHOMA. IT IS TIME TO PUT HIS STAND ON OU DEFENSE WITHOUT STOOPS. HE NEEDS TO LOOK AT THE MIRROR AND SAY HOW AM I GOING TO FIX THIS HORRIBLE THING? MICHAEL JACKSON. I WENT SNOW WAY. HE NEEDS TO HIRE A REPLICA OF HIM ON THE DEFENSIVE SIDE. A YOUNG AND HUNGRY RECRUITER. I WAS IMPRESSED WITH LINCOLN RILEY LANDING DEFENSIVE RECRUITS WITHOUT A COURT NADER. HE SAID HE WOULD HIRE SOMEONE GOOD. THIS IS A FORK IN THE ROAD. THIS IS NOT JUST A. MULTI-GEAR PROBLEM WHEN THEY HIRED STOOPS, IT WAS A PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN BAD DEFENSE FOR SEVEN YEARS. >> YOU HAVE TO GET DUDES. YOU HAVE TO GET THEM. >> GET RECRUITS. I THINK YOU WILL MAKE A GOOD ONE. HE SEEMS TO MAKE ALL THE RIGHT MOVES WHEN IT COMES TO RECRUITING. HIGHER A YOUNG AND UP-AND-COMING DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR. >> OFFENSIVELY, THEY MAY NOT BE AS EFFICIENT AS THEY HAVE BEEN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. HISTORICALLY GREAT QUARTERBACK PLAY DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. THAT WILL NOT JUST CONTINUE TO HAPPEN. THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, NOT EVEN IN OKLAHOMA. THEY WILL BE GOOD OFFENSIVELY, BUT THEY HAVE TO BECOME -- COMPETENT ON DEFENSE. THEY HAVE BEEN INCOMPETENT ON DEFENSE. THE NUMBERS -- POINTS PER GAME IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL, THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA, 101ST IN THE COUNTRY. THEY GAVE UP 33 A GAME. TOTAL DEFENSE YARDS ALLOWED, 114TH. 453 YARDS A GAME. THEY HAVE TO BE COMPETENT. THEY HAVEN’T BEEN. >> THEY USED TO BE ALABAMA ON DEFENSE. >> TEDDY LEHMAN. >> DAN CODY, RUFUS ALEXANDER. >> TOM HARRIS. THEY DO NOT PLAY IN NORMAN. >> THAT IS THE DEPTHS AND WHICH THEY HAVE SLIPPED, TEXAS TECH. LINCOLN RILEY, IT IS ON HIM TO GET THEM BACK. >> KYLER MURRAY PLAYED HIS LAST GAME IN OKLAHOMA. HE IS A HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER. WHAT DOES HE DO NEXT? >> CAN I USE A WORD I HAVE USED BEFORE? >> HAVE YOU NEVER DUPLICATED A WORD? >> I’M DUPLICATING. IT’S HOW I FEEL. HE HAS TO MAKE THE DECISION BETWEEN GLAMOUR OR THE GREYHOUND BUS. THE GLAMOUR POSITION OF NFL QUARTERBACK OR THAT ON A BUS AND BE A MINOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER. WE HAVE HEARD HIM TALK FOR WEEKS HE TALKED AT THE HEISMAN CEREMONY AND HIS HEART IS IN FOOTBALL. THE ARGUMENT FOR BASEBALL IS MONEY. HE CANNOT MAKE BIG MONEY IN BASEBALL FOR A FEW SEASONS UNTIL HE GETS TO ARBITRATION. HE COULD MAKE $8 MILLION NEXT YEAR PLAYING NFL. LAMAR JACKSON WHO BE BAKER MAYFIELD IS MAKING $8 MILLION. HE COULD MAKE FIVE WITH A SIGNING BONUS. THE MONEY AS THERE, HIS HEART IS THERE. I AM 99% SURE HE’S PLAYING FOOTBALL. >> I THINK HE IS PLAIN FOOTBALL, AS WELL. LOOKING AT HIS STORY, THIS IS HOW I WILL REMEMBER HIM IN OU. IT IS STRANGE BECAUSE HE WAS AN ALL-TIME ARE. HE WILL HAVE A STATUE IN HEISMAN PARK. HE IS A FLASH IN THE PAN. HE WAS HERE AND AN ALL-TIME ARE AND THEN GONE. I AM THINKING BACK AND THE HISTORY OF OU FOOTBALL, CODY REMINDS ME OF, THE GUY YOU TALK ABOUT WHO WAS THERE IN AN INSTANT AND MAYBE IT IS DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES THAN MARCUS TO PRE-, BUT HE WAS HERE AND GREAT AND THEN HE WAS OUT. KYLER MURRAY HAD ONE YEAR THAT WAS ALL-TIME GREATS. NOW IT’S GONE. >> KIND OF LIKE BARRY SANDERS. BERRY WAS A RETURN MAN AND A BACKUP. ALL-TIME GREAT, NO DOUBT. >> IT IS A STRANGE CAREER. MOST GUYS CAREERS DO NOT GO THAT WAY. >> NOT A COLLEGE FOO
