Oklahoma Sooners land elite running backs coach Deland McCullough, sparking optimism for a revamped ground attack and renewed recruiting momentum. Can McCullough's proven track record at programs like Notre Dame and Indiana finally unlock consistent production despite injuries and youth on the offensive line? Brian Smith and John Williams break down Oklahoma's rapidly filling 2027 recruiting class, the high-stakes pursuit of quarterback Jamison Roberts, and why the Sooners are killing it on the recruiting trail. The discussion spotlights roster upgrades through the transfer portal—including E'Marion Harris and dynamic receivers—and examines how the offense and John Mateer can capitalize on SEC experience. Plus, they explore the Sooners' elite defense and which emerging talents could fill key gaps. Will Oklahoma's bold moves put them in playoff contention once again?

É mês de aniversário de John Williams, e resolvemos celebrar de um jeito diferente: em vez dos clássicos de sempre, vamos falar dos filmes que ele não fez.Produções que ele queria fazer mas não foi o escolhido, ou filmes que quase tiveram sua assinatura, mas que ele não pôde aceitar por conflitos de agenda ou pela qualidade do projeto. Muitas histórias de bastidores em um episódio com sabor de universo paralelo.
