U40: Why we love OU's defense even though everyone hates it

It's the bye week in Oklahoma and entire scoop crew is back together to talk about the win over Baylor and what we learned about the Sooners after week four of the college football season. We find so many things to like about OU's defense even though it drove fans crazy at times last Saturday. We talk about Baker Mayfield's pregame antics and our role in the national TV broadcast. We also break down the wide receiver position because we're learning a lot about who should be on the field more and more. It's a real nuts and bolts edition of the Unofficial 40 although Eddie is in trouble again with a subscriber. He cusses too much so we're told. We also talk about the FBI catching cheaters and how the whole Trump/NFL thing filters down to the college level and high school recruiting. It's another jam-packed edition!
