Ep. 57 - There's Something About Kenneth Murray by West of Everest: An Oklahoma Football Podcast published on 2018-07-20T01:23:08Z In the opening take, Lee talks about the most interesting thing he heard while attending Big 12 Football Media Days at the Star in Frisco. Then Grant joins to explain why we didn't use a DeMarco Murray play in the intro (5:00). Shifting to the OU QB competition. Lee has a theory that Austin Kendall may actually be the best person to start for the Sooners (8:15). Grant buys Lee some time while he pulls up Riley's soundbite about offensive leadership (21:10). Grant is worried that Jonathan Alvarez is mentioned among the offensive line (24:00). Is it troublesome that Riley did not mention Bobby Evans individually as one of the OL leaders (28:25)? Kenneth Murray is the "heart of the defense" according to Riley (34:55). Lincoln Riley explains what OU needs to do to improve its defense (40:40). Kenneth Murray reacts to zero Sooners being named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Defensive Team (50:10). Lee asked Murray about the media... and let's just say the sophomore linebacker isn't thrilled with a lot of the things said about him (53:10). The legend of "Bookie" grows as Murray has some really nice things to say about the true freshman (58:00). Touching briefly on the Jalen Redmond situation (1:03:00). Taking a look at the rest of Media Days, particularly Tom Herman's odd showing at the podium (1:07:30). Lee is way higher on Iowa State than anybody else and the guys talk OSU QBs as they react to the preseason Big 12 Media Poll (1:17:10). The guys talk about the preseason All-Big 12 team and eventually rag on the selections in the secondary (1:23:50). **NOTE: Around the 1:30:00 mark Grant's microphone audio gets wonky.
