Noah Best

He played right guard.

Noah Best, I believe, was left guard.

Mm-hmm.

I'm interested to see.

I think he brings a toughness.

He brings an upside that Oklahoma can build off of on that side of the ball.

I think with him, with Ozada, with Noah Best, um, and with EPL, you have some really strong interior play.

Now, granted, Peyton Joseph is also supposed to be one of your tackles, so you're super thin across the board.

But everybody, everybody else who, who played last week, uh, as far as the five they had up front- You assume that those five guys were all gonna be available on Saturday?

Yeah, I would, I would say, you know, Ozada will be back, and, uh, Noah Best, and Mikalah, and Foje, and, uh, Emorian Harris.

Who did I s-

And Phil Welsh

Absolutely could be.

Because you, y- you all of a sudden, you'd have, uh, Fauja, Maikola, and Noah Best as your interior three offensive linemen, uh, what you consider to be a really good lockdown left tackle, and Amarnio Harris, who's coming off his best pl- best game at OU at right tackle.

I mean, I think that it significantly changes things.

Now, does that mean you score 10 more points a game? I don't know what it means number-wise, but I know it means better movement in the run game and better protection in the pass game, and we desperately need both of those.

I mean, you look at the film, like they stood him up a lot.

Noah Best looked good on the inside.

Michael...

And the thing is, they, they played with violence.

Here's the thing.

I just got done saying that Emarion Harris did well against, uh, Colin Timmons.

Um, if you can move Ryan Fojo over to right tackle and keep Fasusi at left, keep Noah Best at left guard, get Ozai to back at right guard and keep Michael at center, I think that's your best offensive line.

Sim- I mean, simple as that.

Now it's about doing it for seven straight games."

Here is Ben Arbuckle, John Moteer, and Noah Best talking about just some more improved run game, and obviously an improvement on the offensive line for the Sooners.

Sooners.We need the momentum to carry over, but each game i- is mutually exclusive.

If we, if we think we're gonna roll into the first half of Kentucky and just because we, we did some good things in the second half against Texas, that just means we're gonna do good things in the first half against Kentucky, we are setting ourselves up for failure in that regard.

Now, the good thing is [clears throat] I guess the silver lining in all of this, Coop, is that because Fasusi has been out, we've been able to see others try to make and emerge.

One, Noah Best has stepped up and has become a dude that probably is gonna be locked on that left guard going forward.

Yeah.

'Cause he was balling against Texas.
