Jeremiah Hall, Brayden Willis share their thoughts on crowd’s antics during week 4 win

Brayden Willis and Jeremiah hall discuss the booing and chants of “We Want Caleb” from this past weekend.

The boos and “We Want Caleb!” chants from Saturday’s game against West Virginia have been well documented at this point. Players from the football team all took to social media in various forms to show their disdain for the chants and the booing and to offer support for Spencer Rattler.

We chronicled why the chants and the calls for Caleb Williams didn’t make sense in this article. Ultimately, it matters not what we think but what the players and coaches think and the standards and expectations they have for themselves. Two veteran players on the offensive side of the ball spoke on the situation at hand and offered their thoughts.

Brayden Willis and Jeremiah Hall are the hosts of The Podcast on the Prairie and shared their thoughts on their most recent podcast episode.

Hall, the starting H-Back for the team for the last two years spoke about how he understands the frustration but that ultimately it’s just unacceptable.

I understand as a fan but at the same time it’s just not acceptable. You know we have our QB1 and we are sticking behind QB1… We don’t need any more negative energy. We’re frustrated too! We want to put up 80 points every game. – Hall

Brayden Willis would chime in and piggyback off Hall’s comments.

Like you said, we got our QB1. We’re standing by him. If Caleb comes into the game due to a coaching decision we’ll stand by him. – Willis

Willis would go on to address the effects on recruiting and how booing can look to prospective recruits.

When it comes to recruiting it doesn’t really bold well for the big time five-star recruits we had in the building. I don’t think a big time recruit would want to go to a school that does that.

The guys would go on to talk about how important it was to remain united and not have a divide between the fans and the team in the last of the clip.

All told, it was refreshing to see players who are involved and a part of the program share their sentiments about things they are facing. Obviously, this would not be possible prior to the NIL era.

As far as what the guys said, they bring up valid points that others have echoed regarding the booing and the seeds of discontent being sowed amongst the Oklahoma football community.

Ultimately, the booing and the negativity around the program stops if the offense performs up to their talent level and the standard set by the team and program itself.

Lincoln Riley explained that in the simplest of terms at a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

The Sooners take to the road Saturday for their first road game of the year to take on Kansas State looking to right the ship offensively and continue their undefeated season.
