Brandon Drumm and Travis Davidson debate John Mateer’s leash, Ben Arbuckle’s comments about Bowe Bentley and whether Oklahoma needs to give its young quarterbacks a chance. That leads to a bigger discussion: Why does OU keep resetting its offense while its defense benefits from development and continuity? The guys also break down Michael Fasusi’s outlook, the offensive line injuries, Noah Best’s emergence, Trell Harris and the receiver situation, and their preferred starting five up front if everyone is healthy. Plus: Brent Venables’ absence, the week’s press conference takeaways, Jake Kreul’s breakout and Mississippi State’s quarterback question heading into Starkville.
