30-year DC "Oklahoma will be VERY good" | Sooner Smiths Live #49

Sooner Smiths Live #49

Host: Chad Smith | Guest: Coach Paul Smith (30-year coach, former OU staff)

OklahomaVOCFB | Week 1 game week vs. UTEP

Theme line: “Oklahoma will be VERY good.”

Quick snapshot

Chad opens solo after Stream Yard issues, then brings on his dad. They walk the new depth chart (Ryan Fogey at center), last year’s overachievement despite injuries, why the tight end room and run game are the 2026 swing factors, Mateer’s health/reads, a defense that should finally get turnovers, and a 10-win / title-run outlook if they stay healthy. FanDuel number: 7.5 wins. Both take the over.

1:00–6:40 | Open, tech issues, week-one setup

Stream Yard buffering keeps Coach Paul off initially. Chad solos.

Sponsor: FanDuel.

Week 1: UTEP. Chad notes UTEP had Texas 7-3 (or 7-14) late in the first half last meeting until a late score.

Mentions TROs / SEC legal news and something breaking Thursday — teases, does not unpack.

Most excited he’s been for a season in a long time; wants one episode that fans can take into arguments.
