SoonerScoop postgame podcast: OU wins rock fight... and that's OK

Just win in November, and that’s what OU continues to do. There are a whole bunch of other teams that would love to be 9-2 right now. As head coach Brent Venables would say, no apologies.
All it takes is a drive here or there. Then a takeaway here or there. And time to lean on that defense. It’s a strong recipe, a good one. OU used it once again in a 17-6 victory against No. 22 Missouri on Saturday afternoon.
So yea, it wasn’t the most impressive thing you’ve ever seen. But it beats the alternative and beats what November 2024 was like.
Let’s break it all down. It’s time for the Eskridge Lexus Postgame Podcast from SoonerScoop.
Murdock summary
It’s probably not a game you are going to make sure you re-watch on a loop, but OU’s 17-6 win over Missouri proved their defense is one of the best in the country and one of the best of the last couple decades in Norman. We start with the defense and another elite performance from the Sooners even without R Mason Thomas. This team all but shut down Ahmad Hardy and the return of Beau Pribula wasn’t gameplay. The Sooners still had all the answers for Missouri’s offense. The OU offense? It was enough but not what Sooner fans are used to. The effort still came against what might be the best defense OU has faced this season.
