U40: Trying to decipher what hidden meanings the depth chart may contain


So many developments this week as the Sooners get ready to take on Temple inside Gaylor Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium on Friday night. We talk about some of our player access this week along with George's excellent profile on Jackson Arnold finally getting to the point where it's his time to shine. We also try and decipher where David Stone really sits on the defensive line when this is all said and done. Is Jayden Jackson the difference maker we all feel he is being made out to be? Or is this depth chart deception that has us taking a deeper dive into what this all means? We're really getting in the weeds with the depth chart. And what about guys like Deion Burks? Guys we talked about and drooled over all spring? He's just kind of flown under the radar. Temple appears to be a bad football team. If OU is dominating at halftime then will anyone but backups play after halftime. And what is this offensive line going to look like on the first offensive snap of the game? Who will be out there? Josh is here for a little bit of recruiting talk and we're really getting prepared to see some football. Can't Wait!!!...from the SoonerScoop
