1
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: Or welcome to Lake Kick Is Live.

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,240
Speaker 2: It is Tuesday night, October twentieth, the year of our

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: lower twenty twenty. Here we are right back in Nashville, Tennessee.

4
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 2: We got a loaded show tonight.

5
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: Now.

6
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 2: I know a lot of you have probably looked at

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: the slate this weekend and you say, hmmm, last Saturday,

8
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: I had Georgia Alabama.

9
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: This Saturday, where's the Marquis game? And I'll grant you.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: That, And we're not going to try and sell you

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: on a massive slate that's not really a massive slate.

12
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 2: I still think it's pretty sneaky good and we're going

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: to talk a lot more about that Thursday. But while

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: normally our Tuesday shows would be wall to wall predictions,

15
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 2: we're going to do a lot of that Thursday night.

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: I figured if we have a little bit of a

17
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: dip in quality of games on Saturday, this is the

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 2: perfect time to do a lot of our mid season

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: stuff that normally we wouldn't be able to even fit

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: in on a live show. So tonight, obviously we've had

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: to be sec heavy because not a lot of other

22
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: places have been playing football. Big Ten's about to change that.

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 2: So tonight we're gonna do a lot of takeaways from

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: the SEC East SEC West. But then we're headed up

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: to the Big Ten and we're talking about our Biggest Questions,

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: and I guess you could call them our revised Biggest

27
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: Questions because Colin, it seems like five years ago, but

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: we did a segment called Biggest Questions in the Big

29
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: Ten and then the biggest question was, Hey, we're gonna play,

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: and now you're gonna play. So now we got more questions,

31
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: opt ins, opt outs, all that stuff. We're gonna dive

32
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: pretty deep on the Big Ten tonight. We're gonna dive

33
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 2: deep on Thursday too. We're also gonna do the Mood Tracker,

34
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: as we normally do on Thursday nights that kind of

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 2: floats at pingpongs between Thursday and Tuesday.

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: We're gonna do that tonight.

37
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: We have added best bets on the Ram and Noodle Express,

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: all that Plus already released two of them today. So

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 2: make sure you're following me on Twitter at late Kick Josh.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: Every time I say it, I see an influx of

41
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: followers and I appreciate that. So if you're a holdout

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: or if you keep forgetting do it. Plus we have

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 2: a lot of fun there. We talk about a whole

44
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: lot of stuff during the week, and it's a place

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: that you can go to escape basically all the stuff

46
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: that you say you hate about social media, because I

47
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: can assure you the Braves are out of the playoffs now,

48
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: so I won't be talking about the Braves for another

49
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: few months. So now it's just college football, the occasional

50
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 2: Fleetwood Mac post, maybe a video of a freight train

51
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: every now and then, a few gifts here and there.

52
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: That's about what you find on my Twitter account. So

53
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: it's fun for all ages. So let's dive into this.

54
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna start with some takeaways, pretty broad. Then we're

55
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: gonna get more granular. We're gonna put the microscope on it.

56
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: We're gonna zoom in, and we're gonna start in the

57
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: SEC East, our biggest SEC East takeaways so far through

58
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. We're through what are we five weeks now?

59
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 2: And there you see the SEC Eastern Division standings. If

60
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: you're watching on the YouTube side, Colin showing them to you.

61
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: It's Georgia, Florida, Hello, Kentucky, Tennessee, and then you got

62
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: South Carolina. It is October, by the way, so be

63
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: careful and you never know what can happen in October.

64
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: Ask Auburn, asked Georgia last year, and then you got

65
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: Missouri down there. I think a pretty underrated team right

66
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: now with Baslac at quarterback, and Vanderbilt is Vanderbilt. So

67
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: let's start with Georgia, and let's talk about some quarterback

68
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: suspicions that have been confirmed. I don't think it's all

69
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: that hard to figure out what the biggest takeaway from

70
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 2: Georgia is right now.

71
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: Now.

72
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 2: Listen, sometimes if you watch a game like we saw

73
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: Saturday night, where Georgia got, as it turns out, handled

74
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: on the final scoreboard by Alabama, you say to yourself,

75
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: oh man, that hurts. And we're going to talk about

76
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: this a little bit more in the mood Tracker. But

77
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: to me, I don't think it hurts. It hurts to lose.

78
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 2: No one likes to lose. But I think you want

79
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: to know the truth about yourself, and you want to

80
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: know the truth as early as possible. That's why a

81
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: lot of these major programs schedule major out of conference

82
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: games early in the season.

83
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: Some of it's for recruiting, some of it is for strength.

84
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: To schedule but I also think they just want to

85
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: find out what their weaknesses are. Remember, we always use

86
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: the damn metaphor, and we use the damn metaphor in

87
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: that every dam's got cracks in it, Every team's got cracks.

88
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: You just got to put the water.

89
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: Pressure against it and you got to find out where

90
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: the cracks are. Well, you could play a bunch of

91
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: high school teams early in the year and you could

92
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: look great. That doesn't mean your cracks aren't there. You're

93
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: just going to get painfully exposed later in the year.

94
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: So what's the crack. Well, it's pretty obvious. It was

95
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 2: a really big crack. It is a lower ceiling on

96
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: offensive potential because of limitation as a quarterback. We know

97
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: that it's been confirmed. Now, so now you kind of

98
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: hit the reset button. And if you're Georgia, Okay, we

99
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: know what our weaknesses are, we understand what the truth

100
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 2: about ourselves that we know what we know what our

101
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: identity is, and we know what we have to do

102
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: to ultimately get where we want to be. Now, let

103
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 2: me tell you there's not a lot of information out

104
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 2: there to be had about the status of JT.

105
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: Daniels. Right now.

106
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: I would tell you if I knew otherwise, I don't,

107
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 2: and trust me, very very few people outside of friends

108
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 2: and family around the Georgia program know what the status

109
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 2: of JT.

110
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: Daniels is. JT Daniels, of.

111
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 2: Course, is the transfer quarterback comes in from Southern cal

112
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: in the off season, Jamie Newman's there, Jamie Newman op's out,

113
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: and Dwan Mathis doesn't work out in week one, and

114
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: now Stetson Bennett, a guy who was running with the

115
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: fours a couple of months ago, he's the quarterback. Obvious

116
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: limitations there, and so the question has become when is JT.

117
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: Daniels going to be ready?

118
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: The presumption out there that I agree with is they

119
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 2: have to have JT. Daniels a help the JT. Daniels,

120
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 2: a capable Daniels if they're going to maximize their chances

121
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: of contending for national championship.

122
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: Now, that's what remains to be seen.

123
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: I have a sneaking suspicion, and I talked to some

124
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: people today that kind of feel the same way that

125
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: we're getting pretty close to seeing him play. The follow

126
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: up question is going to be at what level is

127
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: he playing? Cause I think it may be a little

128
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: dangerous to expect him to just pop out of the gate.

129
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: And I mean he's playing at a five star level.

130
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: This is a guy who's coming off knee injury. He's

131
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: been cleared, but he hasn't played meaningful football this year yet,

132
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: hadn't played it quite a long while.

133
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: But I will say this before we move on from Georgia.

134
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 2: One of the questions that's been answered is offensive coordinator

135
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,239
Speaker 2: Todd Monkan and I was talking about this on Twitter

136
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: and on the Dogs twenty four to seven site earlier today.

137
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: I thought he called a great game the other night.

138
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 2: I know they lost forty one to twenty four. I

139
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: thought he called a really good game. I had good balance,

140
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: there were open receivers, there were a lot of first

141
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: downs that were more scheme first downs instead of a

142
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: guy just out athleted someone to make a first down.

143
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: So I feel good about him. Can we feel good

144
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: about quarterback?

145
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: We'll see. Let's move on to Florida.

146
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 2: I think right now, my biggest takeaway for Florida is

147
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 2: they better use this break they have right now that

148
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 2: was unscheduled to figure themselves out on defense, and they

149
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: better come out of this break looking a whole lot better.

150
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 1: Defensively.

151
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: Dan Mullen was very vocal coming out of that Texas

152
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: A and m lass He was very vocal about his

153
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: defense and made it sound like he was going to

154
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: kind of get his hands dirty a little bit and

155
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,159
Speaker 2: talked about it doesn't matter what our playbook looks like.

156
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how exotic our calls are. If guys

157
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: don't grasp how to execute it, then doesn't matter how

158
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: cool it sounds.

159
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter how thick the playbook looks. None of

160
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: that matters.

161
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 2: And so here's the false takeaway that I think some

162
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: people got from that Alabama Georgia game.

163
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: The other night.

164
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: I had some buddies texting me even during the game

165
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: watching Alabama with success throwing the ball on Georgia, and

166
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: they said, Ooh, I think this kind of makes Florida

167
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: the favorite in the East, because if Alabama can throw

168
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: on them, that means Florida can throw on them.

169
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: Well, it may, but let me.

170
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 2: Tell you a couple of aspects of that Alabama team

171
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 2: I know exist that I don't necessarily I know exist

172
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: at Florida. Number one, an elite pass protecting offensive line.

173
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: Mac Jones was given a lot of time the other.

174
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: Night number two, an elite downfield passing attack. Now, I'm

175
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 2: not going as far as the dude's over at Pro

176
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: Football Focus and telling you everything outside of oh, your

177
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 2: quarterback's kind of trash, secret trash Kyle Trask. Now, I'm

178
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: not going that route, but I am saying Alabama stretches

179
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: the field a whole lot more than Florida. Dan Mullen

180
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: is a masterful tactician, masterful offensive coordinator. But you know,

181
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 2: one of the allegations in that Pro Football Focus piece

182
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: was on the money, and that is Florida. To this point,

183
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: this is no knock against them, but to this point

184
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: this year, a lot of their explosive plays have been

185
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: a lot of underneath stuff that athletes have turned into

186
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: explosive plays. Now, the reason I mentioned that is not

187
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 2: to take away from what they've done, but the reason

188
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: I do mention it is, well, if you automatically assume

189
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: that's happening against Georgia, you're kidding yourself. Everything's contested when

190
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: you play Georgia. Everybody's defended underneath when you play Georgia.

191
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: So you may complete some stuff, but you're not popping

192
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: it for twenty five five more yards consistently against them,

193
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 2: which brings me back to the point about defense.

194
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: You have got to be able to stand up against

195
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: their run.

196
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: Because if you don't get a big lead on them,

197
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: so outside of that possibility like Alabama did the other night,

198
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: and you're not forcing Stetson Bennett to play catch up

199
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: or maybe it's JT. Daniels by that point, But if

200
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: you're not forcing that, then they're running the ball on

201
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: you at will. And if you can't stand up to

202
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: the run better than Florida's front has so far, I

203
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: don't know that that's nearly as decided. In fact, I

204
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: think maybe the balance of power in the SEC East

205
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: still remains tilted to Georgia. If that's the case, now

206
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: here's what could happen. Florida is not void of talent.

207
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: Florida is not void of really smart defensive coaches. So

208
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 2: what could happen is they could come out of this

209
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: break and look like a different unit over there and

210
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: they have things figured out. At that point, that's when

211
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: that comparison becomes a whole lot more interesting.

212
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to Knoxville, Tennessee.

213
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: Tennessee is right now in twenty twenty, He's got a

214
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 2: couple of losses. The last one was very ugly. But

215
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: I'm looking at twenty twenty. Jeremy Pruitz certainly looking at

216
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. But as I look at twenty twenty, I

217
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: am thinking to myself, they better get twenty twenty one

218
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: and beyond figured out, and they need to use some

219
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: of this year to do so. Now, again, this is

220
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: not how a coaching staff can afford to think. But

221
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: I think you can accomplish what I said while also

222
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: focusing on.

223
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:22,319
Speaker 1: The here and now.

224
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: And what I'm talking about here is I'm not one

225
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: to punt on teams after they lose a couple of games.

226
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: I talked about this in the Late Cake Extra podcast

227
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: the other day.

228
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 2: A lot of times, once teams are eliminated from the

229
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: SEC championship picture or the playoff picture, you just kind

230
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: of cast them to the side, and oh, well, we'll

231
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: talk about him again when it comes time for bowl

232
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 2: season picks.

233
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: No, I mean, there's a lot still to be.

234
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: Gleaned from Tennessee, and there's a lot still to watch

235
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 2: from Tennessee. First and foremost, and get ready for it

236
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: because it's coming up pretty soon. Is who they start

237
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: at quarterback? This Saturday against Alabama, and there's a lot

238
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: of debate on this. I didn't think there was much

239
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 2: debate to be had, but I was proven wrong because

240
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 2: a lot of people have debated me on this. I

241
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: do not think obviously Jarret Garantano is the future at

242
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: quarterback here.

243
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: He can't be.

244
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: But I also think that if anyone on that roster is,

245
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 2: it's Harrison Bailey.

246
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: And you saw him late in the game against Kentucky.

247
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 2: Now, what my point was was, listen, if you're not

248
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: going to contend for the East, why in the world

249
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: not get a head start on finding out what you

250
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: have for better or for worse with Harrison Bailey, Because

251
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: if he's not the guy, and I don't know that

252
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 2: you would find that out this year. But I mean

253
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 2: if you start to get the sense that, ooh, I'm

254
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 2: not completely bought in on him, well you still have.

255
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,479
Speaker 1: To address quarterback. So you can either hide.

256
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: Him and then start figuring out next year, or we

257
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 2: can start figuring it out right now.

258
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: Now.

259
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: The retort I got was, well, you can't just be

260
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: throwing him to the Wolves against Alabama. Why it's not

261
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: middle school. I mean, that's a scholarship quarterback. I know

262
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 2: what the dynamic is. I know he's missed time. I

263
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: know they had COVID related stuff, But listen, did they

264
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 2: put him on football field the other night?

265
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: They did.

266
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: Okay, that means he's healthy, he's good enough to play.

267
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: They trust him enough to be on the field. So

268
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 2: if those boxes are checked, then here's the next question.

269
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: I ask.

270
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: Have you watched Alabama's defense this year? This is not

271
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: exactly a vintage unit. So I remember once upon a

272
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: time a kid by the name of Josh Dobbs getting

273
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: his first start against this same team in a much

274
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: better defense, and things turned out kind of okay for him.

275
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 2: So this is not diaper time, it's not pacifier time.

276
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: This is the sec.

277
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: If you're on scholarship down here and you're in uniform

278
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: on that sideline, then you should be trusted to be

279
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: put in a game. And they've already put him in

280
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: the game. So I'm talking about twenty twenty one and

281
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 2: beyond here. When I say I want to see Harrison

282
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,319
Speaker 2: Bailey against Alabama point blank, we'll see how they choose

283
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 2: to go about that.

284
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: There.

285
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: Let's talk about South Carolina and Kentucky kind of simultaneously. Here, Colin,

286
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 2: I don't know what this will look like in terms

287
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: of video, but I thought the same thing for both teams.

288
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 2: So Carolina just came off winn against Auburn, Kentucky just

289
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: came off a wide margin victory against Tennessee, and both

290
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: of them are in a metaphorical zone that I like

291
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 2: to call the spider Web zone right now.

292
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: Some teams qualify for this, a lot of teams don't.

293
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: But when the spider Web theory is in effect, some

294
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 2: of you have heard me talk about this already this week,

295
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: Here's what it is. What it means is you possess

296
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 2: a roster that is not going to stand up toe

297
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 2: to toe against the big boys in the conference. And

298
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: you also possess a roster that does not maybe necessarily

299
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 2: possess a whole lot of game breaking playmakers on him.

300
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: But what you do have is you have the potential.

301
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,359
Speaker 2: To play disciplined, you have the potential to force turnovers,

302
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 2: you have the potential to be very stubborn in your

303
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: offensive play calling, and essentially you just wait someone out.

304
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: So here's where the spider Web theory comes into effect.

305
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: It's exactly what Kentucky did Saturday. It's exactly what South

306
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: Carolina did Saturday. These were not performances if you didn't

307
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,559
Speaker 2: watch these games. Carolina did not beat Auburn by going

308
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: up and down the field on them. Kentucky did not

309
00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 2: beat Tennessee by going up and down the field on him.

310
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 2: Does a spider web come at you and engulf you?

311
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 2: What a spider web does is it gets built there

312
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: in the corner of a doorway, and then you walk

313
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: in a dark room or outside, you know, in the barn,

314
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 2: and it's dark and you can't see, and you walk

315
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: into that spider web.

316
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: Now, the spider web didn't force you to do that.

317
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 2: You walked into it, maybe voluntarily, maybe involuntarily most of

318
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: the time, but you walked into it. But the point is,

319
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 2: once you're in the spider web, it's really hard to

320
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 2: get it off of you. And once Tennessee walked into

321
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: that Kentucky spider web, they weren't getting it off And

322
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 2: once Auburn walked into that South Carolina spider web, which

323
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: means once they started turning the ball over, and once

324
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 2: Tennessee started turning the ball over.

325
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: It was done.

326
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: And they're sitting there just trying to pick it out

327
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: of their hair and they're you know, they're brushing their

328
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: arms off and stuff, and it's too late. At that point,

329
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: you got the spider web all over you. Well, the

330
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: point is that doesn't have to be a one week thing.

331
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: That formula is duplicable. LSU is welcoming in South Carolina Saturday. Okay,

332
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 2: Will mus shamp a couple weeks ago was in must

333
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 2: win mode and they went to Vanderbilt took care of business.

334
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 2: Now they took care of business. Dare I say we're

335
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 2: looking at a winning streak. Three in a row makes

336
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: a winning streak. Last time I checked, and last time

337
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 2: I checked, it is still October. Anything can happen in October.

338
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: I don't have a fancy name for what they're doing

339
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 2: in Kentucky. They're just getting Mark Stoops the lifetime contract

340
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: to Kentucky. That's all they're doing there. I think I

341
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: was smoking a cigar and drinking on the bus after

342
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 2: the game. So you don't think You don't think he

343
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: didn't understand how important that win was. Check out his

344
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: mood after the game. But they could do that. You know,

345
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: Missouri plays Kentucky Saturday. They could do that again. Now

346
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: that's a roster that Kentucky goes toe to toe with

347
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: and probably is superior to. But Kentucky's gonna play Georgia

348
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. For example, if you don't

349
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: think Kentucky isn't capable of building the spider web and

350
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 2: having Georgia walk into it, Georgia turns the ball over

351
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 2: a couple of times like they did against Alabama.

352
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Kentucky could beat Georgia if they do that.

353
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 2: If they were plus three turnovers plus per turn absolutely

354
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 2: they could do that. Carolina is a touchdown dog going

355
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: to baton Rouse this Saturday. You have no clue who's

356
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: starting a quarterback for LSU. They could build a spider

357
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: web down there. Spider webs are a whole up easier

358
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: to understand than talking about his own defense.

359
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: So that's why I choose to do it that way.

360
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: Let's now take ourselves, as I like to say, across

361
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: the Chattahoochee River. This doesn't necessarily geographically totally make sense,

362
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: but it is the line of demarcation in my mind

363
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: between the SEC East and the SEC West. Biggest takeaways

364
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 2: to this point in the season. In the SEC West,

365
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: Alabama is going to have to play a different kind

366
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: of defense this year. As Colin shows you the standings there,

367
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: Crimson Tide four and oh, clearly in the driver's seat,

368
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: they've already got a game. Well, they already beat Texas

369
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 2: A and M, so they got kind of like a

370
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: game and a half lead there.

371
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: And then it's a bunch of hm.

372
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 2: Auburn is really one in three and Arkansas is really

373
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: three and one. Even though Colin went by the book,

374
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: he had to put what their records actually are, I'm

375
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: telling you what they should be, and I don't ever

376
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: say that, but this is literally one of those should

377
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: be cases. And then you got LSU Mississippi State, old mess.

378
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 2: So let's talk about these. Alabama is going to have

379
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: to be opportunistic on defense if they want to win

380
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: a national championship.

381
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: I think we've earn that by now.

382
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 2: Elite is probably not in the cards for this defense

383
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 2: this year. But I'll tell you what is in the cards.

384
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: The way they played the other night is their formula

385
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: to win a national championship. It's going to involve swallowing

386
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 2: some pride for fans. It's gonna involve getting comfortable, or

387
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: at least accepting a lot of what has been unacceptable

388
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: to you in the past. You know what you have now.

389
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: What we have there and what worked Saturday night against

390
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 2: Georgia is obviously one of the most prolific offenses to

391
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 2: this point in the season the sport has ever seen.

392
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 2: So you know you can score it will virtually on people,

393
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: even the best defense in America in my opinion. So

394
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: you know you have that, and you know you have

395
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: the ability to force the issue defensively.

396
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 1: You may not be elite, you may not even be very.

397
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 2: Good defensively, but what you can be is opportunistic by

398
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 2: the sheer factor that you have so many athletes on

399
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: the field. I want to take you back. You Alabama

400
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: fans will remember this vividly and painfully. A couple of

401
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 2: years ago. I remember being out in California. We were

402
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: in Santa Clara National Championship game, Labama versus Clemson, and

403
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 2: I remember Alabama was moving the ball on Clemson very

404
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 2: early on, and I thought to myself, Man, I think

405
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: they're going to run away with this game. That's the

406
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: game Clemson blew Alabama out in. How could you be

407
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 2: so wrong early in the game. How could you feel

408
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: such a way about a team early in the game

409
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 2: and then them end up getting blown out. What happened

410
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 2: was Clemson and Brent Vinnables played the kind of defense

411
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 2: that night did Alabama's going to need to play this

412
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: year to win a championship. They didn't worry about shutting

413
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 2: you down. They didn't think they could, and they were

414
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: right they couldn't. But what they did was they forced turnovers.

415
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 2: And that's what worked the other night against Georgia. Bama

416
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 2: didn't shut Georgia down offensively, far from it. But what

417
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 2: they did is they were able to force turnovers. And

418
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: when you got an offense like they have, you don't

419
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: have to force many of them. You just got to

420
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 2: steal a couple of possessions. They can't punt the ball

421
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 2: over twenty five yards. Apparently they can kick field goals now.

422
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: They can't kick the ball out of the end zone

423
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 2: to save their life. But what they can do is

424
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: they can force some turnovers. That's going to be the

425
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: formula this year for them to win a national championship.

426
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 2: As for the team that won the championship last year

427
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 2: and is far from that off the goal this year

428
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: is the LSU Tigers. I said in the beginning of

429
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: the year. Now I will now reiterate it. I think

430
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: LSU is going to learn a whole lot more from

431
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty than they learned from twenty nineteen. No one

432
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: really learns a ton of valuable lessons when everything goes right.

433
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: That's true in life, that's true.

434
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: In football too. So what lessons do you think could

435
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 2: be learned here? Because I came up with a few.

436
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: I think right now some tough lessons are being learned

437
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: down there. About how many attitudes need to change? What

438
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: was the collective attitude going into the offseason. You had

439
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: a lot of folks around there that had been either

440
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: part of a championship team or been part of a

441
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: championship organization, depending on what your role was. How did

442
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: attitudes around their change? Did complacency set in?

443
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 1: Also?

444
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 2: How did you vet new hires? What was your criteria?

445
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: What was your standard for going about new hires? You know,

446
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: famously ed or Zaran was very vocal about the fact

447
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 2: that he thought they were going to be better defensively

448
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 2: this year than they were last year. Well, of course

449
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: they're not. And so who is that a reflection on?

450
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,959
Speaker 2: Is it a Bopolini thing? Bopolini didn't hire himself, and

451
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 2: so you know, maybe we get to the season's end

452
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: and there are some moves made to rectify some flaws

453
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 2: that maybe ed Orgeron has seen in his own approach

454
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: and how he went about things this offseason. Listen, they

455
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: had so much going on behind the scenes. Some of

456
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: it you know about, some of it you don't know about.

457
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: Some of it was obvious. So I mean, it's talk

458
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 2: about an unprecedented year. In the middle of an unprecedented year,

459
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 2: LSU was dealing with what would even in a normal

460
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: year be unprecedented circumstances. How they handle this year and

461
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 2: then how they react to it, that's ultimately going to

462
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 2: determine the next five year stretch for LSU football a

463
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 2: whole lot more than winning a championship in historic fashion

464
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen would. Now I'm talking Tigers here, but

465
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm going to Auburn.

466
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: There is a fear.

467
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: If you watch SEC football a lot, there's this fear

468
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,440
Speaker 2: people always have about Auburn.

469
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: It's the rabbit out of the hat fear.

470
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: And what it is is trying to figure out Auburn

471
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: is like trying to nail jello to a wall.

472
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: And when you think you haven't figured out.

473
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 2: That's when the jello falls to the ground, and they

474
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: totally reinvent themselves mid season and they pull a rabbit

475
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 2: out of a hat and they end up like beating

476
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 2: Alabama in the Iron Bowl and extending maus on another

477
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 2: seven years for one hundred billion dollars. That's the kind

478
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 2: of stuff Auburn pulls on the regular. Well, here's what

479
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 2: my takeaway is from them right now. There is no

480
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 2: rabbit as far as I can tell in the twenty

481
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: twenty hat for Auburn. The offense has lacked any kind

482
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 2: of discernible identity. A quarterback play to me, has regressed there.

483
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: And that's very disappointing because I had pretty moderate to

484
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: high hopes for bo Nicks this year defense. Not only

485
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 2: did they lose the likes of Brown and Marlon Davidson,

486
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 2: but they also this season have lost kJ Britt, who

487
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 2: was every bit as valuable to their defense as for example,

488
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: Dylan Moses was to Alabama last year. That's the quarterback

489
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: of your defense. I want you to think about this.

490
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: Had a coach tell me this yesterday or today?

491
00:20:58,800 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: Can remember?

492
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: Days are all running together. I got home at like

493
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:03,560
Speaker 2: five o'clock this morning. I had to drive from Columbus.

494
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: So the coach told me aired an independent of what

495
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 2: day it was, he said, let me ask you something.

496
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 2: When's the last time that you looked at Auburn's defense

497
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: and you said to yourself, well, I'll tell you the

498
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 2: way to attack them is just straight up the middle.

499
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 2: And I said, I don't remember saying that, man, not

500
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 2: since Kevin Steel's been there.

501
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: But it's kind of true. Right now.

502
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 2: Kentucky did it, Georgia did it. That's how South Carolina

503
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: went about it. Now, Carolina didn't hang seven hundred yards

504
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 2: on him, but they did enough to.

505
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: Continue to paper cut him to death.

506
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: And Georgia certainly got a surge all night long, and

507
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 2: Kentucky had a lot of success against him. So the

508
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 2: point is they are void of what their normal identity

509
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 2: is on offense and defense. And Tank Bigsby right now,

510
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby is one of the few bright spots offensively

511
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: for them. But that's the point. I mean, Tank Bigsby

512
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: was one of maybe three or four names that you

513
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 2: thought you'd be counting on there. Tank Bigsby is carrying

514
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: the water for them right now. That's a true freshman

515
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 2: out of Callaway High School, I was on sidelines in

516
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 2: a high school stadium this time last year, watching Bigsby

517
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 2: run with Malason standing next to me on the sideline.

518
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: By the way, just remember that.

519
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 2: So my point is, the game plan right now is

520
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 2: to just attack Auburn up the middle because they're not

521
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: what they normally are. Right up the middle, right up

522
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: the heart of their defense. And if you're facing them defensively, well,

523
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: just wait, man, they'll turn it over. That's essentially what

524
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: must Champions South Carolina did the other day. Just wait,

525
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 2: they'll turn it over. And you wait and they turn

526
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 2: it over. You build a spider web, they walk right

527
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 2: into it. At Texas A and M, though, things are

528
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 2: much different. I'm gonna say something here and I'll tell

529
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 2: you what I'm gonna do. I'm actually going to pull

530
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 2: the graphic up. Okay, so I'm gonna say something here.

531
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: I don't want you to freak out.

532
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: It's not a prediction, but I am gonna say that.

533
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway for A and M right now is

534
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 2: they are a college football playoff contender.

535
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 1: Okay, that much I really think. I know now.

536
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 2: It's not a prediction they're gonna make it there, but

537
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: I think we have to acknowledge something. I think we

538
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: have to acknowledge their loss to Alabama now that we

539
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 2: frame it within the context of what Alabama also did

540
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: against Georgia. I don't think it looks nearly like the

541
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: end of the world. It looked like when it happened.

542
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: And you combine that with the fact that all A

543
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 2: and M did was go right back home, get up

544
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: off the deck, and beat Florida in mild upset fashion

545
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 2: and then took care of Mississippi State in a game

546
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 2: that didn't impress many of you, but I was impressed

547
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: because they did what they're supposed to do. That's a

548
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 2: spot that has cut the legs out from under many

549
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 2: a team. You're coming off a big time program, defining

550
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: when you go on the road, you're less than a

551
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: touchdown favorite, and you end up handling them for most

552
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 2: of the afternoon. That was A and M did what

553
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 2: Tennessee wasn't able to do last week. Very similar point

554
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 2: spread situations, radically different outcomes. Well, the point is so

555
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: now A and M, as I said, they're going to

556
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: go quiet for a while, they got a bye week.

557
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 2: Right now, I'm going to read you the rest of

558
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 2: their schedule unless something changes. They've got Arkansas at home

559
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: on the thirty first, which is not an easy game anymore.

560
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 1: Then they got back.

561
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: To back roadies at Carolina at Tennessee, Then they got

562
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 2: back to back home games against Ole Miss and LSU,

563
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: and then they'll finished the season at Auburn. Guys, they're

564
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: favored in every one of those games. Doesn't mean they're

565
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: gonna win them. But I'm telling you right now, as

566
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 2: we sit here today, Texas A and M will be

567
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 2: favored in every one of those games. And so what

568
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 2: if they're sitting there slowly finding their identity.

569
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: They've lost a lot of talented wide receiver.

570
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 2: From all sorts of different issues this year, so they're

571
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,440
Speaker 2: not going to necessarily be able to bomb.

572
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: Away on folks.

573
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: They have the threat of mobility at quarterback. Isaiah Spiller's

574
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 2: really come on at running back for them, they understand.

575
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 2: I think in watching them this year, they understand what

576
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 2: they are and what they aren't. Offensively, they have improved defensively.

577
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 2: They're really good on the lines of scrimmage. Okay, they

578
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: can disrupt with the guys they got up front. Defensively,

579
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 2: they got a more than serviceable offensive line. They got

580
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 2: a really good offensive line actually, So the remaining question

581
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 2: for me, outside of will they be favored in every

582
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 2: game is if they are and they start to rattle

583
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 2: off some wins. I can't remember under Fisher where this

584
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: team has ever had to show how they handle late

585
00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,320
Speaker 2: season expectation. They've had it early in the year, like

586
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,479
Speaker 2: they've graced the cover of many a preview magazine, and

587
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 2: that was even before Fisher got there. But they haven't

588
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 2: ever gotten into the deeper waters of November and late

589
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: November this year. I mean, what if they're carrying a

590
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 2: number six ranking when they play LSU the second to

591
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 2: last week of the year and LSU is looking to

592
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: looking at that game as a super Bowl because they're

593
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: already out of it in Auburn ditto to end the

594
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: regular season. Who knows how that goes. That's one I

595
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 2: don't think anyone can answer. I don't even think Aggie

596
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 2: fans had the slightest clue how their program would hand

597
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: a late season playoff talk. But I'm sure you want

598
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 2: to find out. I do want to hit on Arkansas

599
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: here because they deserve to be hit on. I told

600
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 2: you I am observing them as a three to one

601
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 2: team right now. Sam Pittman is twenty twenties at Orjian.

602
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: The only difference between the two is he has a

603
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 2: lot less raw talent on his roster, so he is

604
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: not capable and that team's not capable of, you know,

605
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: rattling off a run.

606
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: To a national championship.

607
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: Make no mistake, this is the guy that has surpassed

608
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 2: everyone's wildest expectations this year. This is a guy who

609
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: is coaching a team that was so vastly inferior against

610
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 2: virtually every team they would have played last year in

611
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 2: this conference outside of Vanderbilt. I don't even know that

612
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: they played Vanday last year, but outside of that matchup,

613
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: they were viewed as so inferior. I had someone tell

614
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 2: me this was the thirteenth roster in the SEC, and

615
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 2: there wasn't necessarily an extremely wide gap between them and Vanderbilt.

616
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 2: I didn't believe that last part, but I did believe

617
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 2: that it's reasonable that that's the thirteenth best roster in

618
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: the SEC this year.

619
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: And look at what they're doing right now.

620
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: The hiring of that coordinator combo of Kendall Briles and

621
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 2: Barry Odom phenomenal, very opportunistic and phenomenal. And let me

622
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: give you another little FYI. They're going to be able

623
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 2: to recruit. Pittman's a phenomenal recruiter anyway. But I want

624
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:53,919
Speaker 2: you to think about kids out there who are fringe guys.

625
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: Maybe they don't have the committable offers from Alabama or

626
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 2: LSU or Georgia. Maybe they don't have those, but what

627
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 2: they're watching is maybe they grow up watching SEC football.

628
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 2: So you know, a lot of kids want to play

629
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 2: in the SEC. And maybe you got some of those

630
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 2: East Texas kids, or maybe you've got some of those

631
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: Florida kids and they're by the hundreds down there, and

632
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,880
Speaker 2: maybe they're watching Arkansas and they're saying, well, I want

633
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 2: to play SEC ball, I want to be competitive, and

634
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 2: I got a certain wiring about me, and that program

635
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 2: up there in Arkansas really kind of reflects the way

636
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: that I view myself. The kind of kid you mark

637
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 2: my words, the kind of kid that Arkansas is going

638
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: to be able to get, The kind of kids they're

639
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: going to be in it for are the kind of

640
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 2: kids that you want to build your roster and build

641
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 2: a foundation on to begin with.

642
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: Like those, by default are the kinds.

643
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 2: Of kids that you're going to be able to win with,

644
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:42,919
Speaker 2: so they're going to be able to recruit up there.

645
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 2: I think Arkansas is going to end up making a

646
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 2: little more noise than you expect them to in recruiting.

647
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: But hey, I.

648
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 2: Gotta find out what they're going to do the rest

649
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: of the season first, because as much as I looked

650
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: at A and M schedule there, I'm looking at Arkansas

651
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: and they got A and M coming up, and they

652
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 2: got Tennessee, and they play Florida, and they play LSU

653
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 2: and they play Alabama. So they tossed you in the

654
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 2: woodchipper before the season started. Then they tossed you in

655
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 2: the wood chipper while you played at Auburn.

656
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: And yet we applaud you anyway.

657
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 2: Here we will wave the razorback flag along with you.

658
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 2: Now we got to ask some questions and we got

659
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 2: to go to the Big Ten to do it. We've

660
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 2: looked forward to this for a while. You remember, Colin,

661
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: what was it a month month and a half ago?

662
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 2: Seemed like we led every show with rumors about the

663
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: Big Ten?

664
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 1: What's the latest we're hearing on the Big Ten?

665
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,480
Speaker 2: And I can't tell you how much the traffic we

666
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: got on those videos exceeded our expectation for how many

667
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 2: people would watch those videos. And we weren't doing it

668
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 2: with clip bait. We were just delivering what we were

669
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 2: hearing every time. But I'll tell you what it told me.

670
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: What it told me is, hey, when it comes time

671
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 2: for the Big ten season to start, don't be an

672
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 2: idiot talk about the Big Ten a whole lot, because

673
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 2: obviously there is a really big, thirsty audience out here

674
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 2: for Big ten football. So in our effort to make

675
00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 2: this a national show and not just a regional show,

676
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: let's talk about biggest questions in Big ten kind of

677
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: part two. We've already done this one time, but that

678
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 2: was a generation to go. It seems like, now let's

679
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 2: start in Ohio State. Let's start in Columbus. I would

680
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 2: love to know what level of play I should expect

681
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 2: to see from Ohio State this year. The list of

682
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: guys they lost last year is like a good couple

683
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: of decades worth of talent for most programs. They lost

684
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: Young Hamilton and Okudah Fuller. They lost Arnette Harrison like

685
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 2: they lost so many top notch guys. Now, you know

686
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: how they recruit their covers never empty up there. But

687
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 2: there are a lot of moving pieces, a lot of

688
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: moving parts, and also you just add in the general

689
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: uncertainty of what the season is going to look like

690
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 2: for everyone. Getting Sean Wade back is so huge. I

691
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 2: know Buckeye fans understand that, but there's a lot of

692
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: uncertainty and a lot of question marks, albeit talented ones

693
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: in this secondary. And you got Coombs and Madison who

694
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 2: are kind of a new combination of elements at least

695
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 2: you know, Madison's not new there, but Combs is as

696
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator, and so you got a lot of new

697
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 2: Sean Wade is a I think a big time stableing

698
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: factor and a true one corner that you have there.

699
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 2: That would have been even more uncertainty. But I think

700
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: it's reasonable to expect some hiccups early. Like I think

701
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people are kind of confused by the

702
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 2: week one points spread on their game against Nebraska, which

703
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: is twenty seven.

704
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: And I've had a lot of you dming me on.

705
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 2: Twitter at late kick Josh by the way, and you've

706
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: been asking, Hey, how's this not free money? Like I

707
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: think Ohio State will want to run the score up.

708
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: They may want to run the score up, but I'll

709
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 2: tell you what you could see.

710
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: What you could see is a game where.

711
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: They run it up and it's like forty five to

712
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 2: twenty or something like that, because they are just a

713
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: few more hiccups defensively. You know this, I mean, you've

714
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: seen how this works before with other teams, and you know,

715
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: maybe you come out of it and you say, got

716
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: some stuff to clean up defensively, but man, justin feels

717
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: in this offense sky high potential. That kind of game

718
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 2: could be the way it unfolds early. And you got

719
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: Penn State in week two. So I'm about to talk

720
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 2: about the Nickney Lions in a second. So that's one question.

721
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: Another question is what does Michigan have in Joe Milton.

722
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 2: Joe Milton's a name that I don't think is on

723
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: the national rate. Joe Milton will be the starting quarterback

724
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 2: from Michigan. And you may be asking yourself again if

725
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 2: you've been tuned out, hey, what about the McCaffrey kid. Well,

726
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: it's kind of like what about Rocky Moss. What about

727
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 2: the McCaffrey kid. Well, the McCaffrey kid's gone, he gone.

728
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: Joe Milton's the guy he transferred out. Joe Milton won

729
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 2: the job. He's the guy. It didn't happen in that order.

730
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: It happened in reverse order. Six five, two forty got

731
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 2: good mobility. And yet I wonder about three things because

732
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 2: Joe Milton right now has a grand total of eleven

733
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: passes and twelve runs under his belt at the college level.

734
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 2: So I worry and wonder where I don't know, not worry,

735
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 2: but I wonder about poise and about accuracy, just the intangibles,

736
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 2: decision making.

737
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 1: I wonder about the intangibles.

738
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: This is not a team, nor are many teams capable

739
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 2: of consistently losing the turnover battle and winning football game.

740
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: So that's the kind of stuff that you worry about here,

741
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 2: Donovan People's jones. When you're talking about skill out wide,

742
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 2: he's gone, Nico Collins opted out, and so you wonder, Hey,

743
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I know that maybe there's some receiver talent

744
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 2: on the way via the recruiting trail, but right now

745
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 2: S Gaddus has.

746
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: What he has to work with, So what will they

747
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: be offensively? Now?

748
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 2: You know that you have a pretty rock solid defense

749
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: to lean on, at least you think you know, and

750
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 2: I think that along with you. But the one thing

751
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: that I always go back to with Michigan and what

752
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 2: I always want to see with them is I just

753
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: want to turn the TV on. So this Saturday they

754
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: play Minnesota, I want to turn the TV on. First

755
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and I just want to look at

756
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 2: them in totality, and I want to compare them to

757
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: other teams that we think are either top notch or

758
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 2: on the cusp of being top notched. Like the last

759
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 2: few years, for instance, when I would turn Ohio State

760
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: on and I would turn Michigan on, they look like

761
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 2: different athletes, caliber athletes, and that's cause they are. And

762
00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 2: so it's not that you couldn't make a case for

763
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: maybe Michigan pulling an upset in some of those years,

764
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 2: but the list was like eight to ten bullet points

765
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 2: long about what they need to go right in order

766
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: for that upset to maybe materialize. Well, that's not the

767
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: way it should be. The way it should be, especially

768
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: when you're this far into your tenure. If your Jim

769
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: Harbaugh is you should just be able to go heads

770
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: up with a Ohio State.

771
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: That's not happening right now. So maybe this year brings

772
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 1: new things.

773
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 2: Maybe Joe Milton is the biggest revelation in college football

774
00:33:06,280 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 2: this year.

775
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: Selfishly, I'd love to see that.

776
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: I just love to see Michigan be competitive for more

777
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: than a nice trip to the Verbo Citrus Bowl, which

778
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 2: is where I saw them on January first in Orlando

779
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 2: and got a nice sunburn in the process.

780
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: How about Penn State?

781
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 2: How about this marriage, this new partnership between Sean Clifford,

782
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 2: who inexplicably I refer to as Tom Savage one day

783
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 2: when we were doing some Penn State stuff. I know

784
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 2: the difference, Trust me, I know the difference. It's just

785
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: sometimes I'm on autopilot and don't know what I'm saying.

786
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 2: But Kirk Soraka, that's the name you won't confuse with

787
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 2: anyone new offensive coordinator. They're at Penn State and Seawan

788
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 2: Clifford the quarterback there.

789
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: What do we see?

790
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 2: You remember one of the big concerns I think a

791
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 2: lot of our Nitney line fans had when you originally

792
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 2: made the higher, Well, you didn't have a concern.

793
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you liked the Higher.

794
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 2: You loved the Higher because you saw what Saraka just

795
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: did at Minnesota. But then when they take the spring

796
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 2: away from you, you had the same concerns that you know, Georgia,

797
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: for example, we're having oh man, we went and hired

798
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,800
Speaker 2: this new coordinator and then we didn't get to install

799
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 2: anything in the spring.

800
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 1: And how much can you install using zoom? I don't know.

801
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 1: Some teams seem to do alright with it.

802
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: But the point is Penn State didn't start when Georgia started,

803
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: so there's been a little more time, Bob. Now, I

804
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 2: don't know that there have been a ton more repetitions

805
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: able to be taken, but just in terms of getting

806
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: to know each other, getting a feel for each other,

807
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: trying to get that playbook in that entire system as

808
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: much of it as you can't ingrained in the minds

809
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 2: of your players so that you can hit the ground running.

810
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 2: That's the big remains to be seen, and we're going

811
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 2: to see it pretty quick.

812
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: Early on.

813
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: They play Indiana, make no mistake, that is a losable

814
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 2: game this Saturday, and you know what they have on

815
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: deck the week after in Ohio State, So you know

816
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: what are.

817
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: They at wide receiver.

818
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 2: I think that's a big question for a lot of

819
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 2: people with Penn State, and it's going to be until

820
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 2: they rectify it.

821
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: In recruiting, but Here's what you notice sometimes.

822
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: What you notice sometimes is you're talking about wide receivers

823
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 2: in November that we're never on your radar in July.

824
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: And the reason is because, well, maybe you.

825
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 2: Didn't think that the offense was going to be prolific

826
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 2: enough and therefore you didn't really spotlight those receivers. But

827
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 2: if you've got offensive coordinator figured out and that quarterback

828
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: in this case, Clifford is the right guy for that

829
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 2: offensive system, all of a sudden, a funny thing happens.

830
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: Receivers just start emerging.

831
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 2: By default of the system they're playing in and the

832
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 2: position they're being put in to succeed. They start emerging,

833
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: and you have a critical mass, which would only be

834
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 2: like two.

835
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: Or three guys you need here only.

836
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: Air quotes exceeding expectation. That's what you watch for early

837
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 2: with Penn State. How about Minnesota. I see a lot

838
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: of folks out there buying some Minnesota stock. I don't

839
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 2: blame you. I mean, I understand what they were last year.

840
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 2: I understand the PJ. Fleck train. But I think people

841
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: may be well, let me rephrase, because I don't have

842
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 2: a strong opinion on this. I question whether people are

843
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: biting just just a little bit too hard on Minnesota.

844
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: This program should not be based solely on recruiting, based

845
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: solely on roster team talent composite rating historic data points

846
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 2: would indicate.

847
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,839
Speaker 1: That team should not be one that is simply.

848
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 2: Able to reload. That should be a team that has

849
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: to rebuild. That's what Minnesota should be. Now, could they

850
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,360
Speaker 2: defy conventional wisdom? Sure, someone does it every year. A

851
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,319
Speaker 2: few teams do it every year. I think Minnesota has

852
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: already done that, so maybe they continue to do that,

853
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: But they are replacing five of their top six tacklers defensively.

854
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 2: Like I said, at Ohio State, you could reasonably expect

855
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: them to do that. At Alabama they do it every year.

856
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 2: At Clemson they do it every year. They don't do

857
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: that every year at Minnesota. And if they do it,

858
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: they're going three to nine the following year. They're not

859
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 2: contending for the division title. But right now the expectations

860
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,439
Speaker 2: are them in Wisconsin right there contending against each other

861
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:54,640
Speaker 2: for the division title.

862
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: Now, Mike Sandford's.

863
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 2: Coming in as a new offensive coordinator there to replace Soroka,

864
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: and he's got a lot of weaponry. You've got a

865
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 2: returning quarterback you got weapons at running back. You got weapons,

866
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 2: especially when Bateman came back at wide receiver. So that's

867
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 2: the expectation I think, is that instead of defense buying

868
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: an offense time, I think it's the reverse. I think

869
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 2: it's offense buying defense time. But what's the style of

870
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 2: play that they're going to have to roll with? And

871
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 2: keep in mind, how does that style translate when you

872
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 2: get a little deeper into the winter or late fall

873
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:28,279
Speaker 2: meteorologically than you normally do. What kind of conditions could

874
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: that offense be put in to have to play in

875
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 2: late November early December, especially if there's a division title

876
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: on the line. This is not Major League Baseball, where

877
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: you can lose a game here or there doesn't matter.

878
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 2: Every game matters here. Man, this is college football. So

879
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 2: could weather bite Minnesota? That's a sentence I never thought

880
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 2: I'd say. So we'll see. And lastly, speaking of the

881
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badgers, how about that offense there?

882
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: Well, not a lot, not everyone, but a lot of you.

883
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: And we got a surprising number of Wisconsin fans who

884
00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: watched the show and listen to the podcast. We especially

885
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 2: have a lot who listened to the Late Kick podcast.

886
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 2: Subscribe there search for it and subscribe.

887
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: If you haven't.

888
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 2: Already, you have been crying. We want to see Graham Mertz.

889
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 2: We want to see Graham Mertz. Give us Mertz. Well,

890
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 2: you got him at the expense of an injury, but

891
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 2: you got him. So now what do you have? Well,

892
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 2: isn't that the question? Because I'll tell you what you

893
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 2: normally have. Here's the default setting for Wisconsin. The default

894
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,880
Speaker 2: setting had been all right, here's why we want to

895
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: see Graham Mertz. We want to see Graham Mertz because

896
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 2: we just think we know what the ceiling is offensively

897
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: for us, US being Wisconsin with Jack Cone at quarterback. Okay,

898
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 2: but see, here's what goes into that default setting, a

899
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 2: guy like Jonathan Taylor at running back. Normally it's what

900
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 2: you have there. I'm not saying the cupboard is empty there,

901
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: but you certainly don't have established star type guys at

902
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 2: running back like you normally would. So here maybe is

903
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 2: what you could be asking the running back at or

904
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback rather at Wisconsin to do this year shoulder

905
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 2: more of the load than they normally would. So you're

906
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 2: going to take a guy who's unproven, and you're also

907
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 2: potentially going to ask him to shoulder a lot more

908
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 2: of the load, which begs the question. And I'll have

909
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: this one until I watch him play. How aggressive is

910
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 2: Paul Christ willing to be? Sometimes people can get drunk

911
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: watching the top offenses in the country, and they make

912
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 2: it look easy. Like Alabama the other night against Georgia.

913
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 2: They made it look easy. They especially make it look

914
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 2: easy against inferior competition Clemson, ditto. Ohio State has the

915
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 2: tendency to do that. Oklahoma has the tendency to do that.

916
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: It's not easy. It's not that easy.

917
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 2: Okay, if it were that easy, everybody who recruits halfway

918
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: decent would look like that. It's not that easy, and

919
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: especially it's not that easy to transition into that when

920
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: that's not what you have been. So I know a

921
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 2: lot of people have high hopes for this offense. They

922
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: got high hopes for Graham Mertz. Again, I'm yielding that

923
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: you guys could be right. Those are some areas I

924
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 2: am in the remains to be seen camp on though.

925
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 2: All right, let's roll through mood tracker here. We've got

926
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 2: some interesting ones. Let me pull this back up, so

927
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,919
Speaker 2: we've got some interesting ones here. I almost thought about

928
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: doing a gift special on this, but I didn't The

929
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 2: mood tracker as we head into week eight, and especially

930
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,240
Speaker 2: the mood tracker when we look nationally starts in Athens, Georgia,

931
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:12,800
Speaker 2: and Georgia's mood tracker currently is Pursuit of Happiness, which

932
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 2: is something that we're all trying to attain and achieve.

933
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:16,719
Speaker 1: But I am thinking about.

934
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:20,040
Speaker 2: The movie The Pursuit of Happiness, and I'm thinking specifically

935
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 2: about when Will Smith is standing there with that terrible

936
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 2: facial hair and he's on the sidewalk and he's I

937
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: don't exactly remember what had happened in the movie, but

938
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 2: he had been turned down for a job, and so

939
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: the tears are rolling down the face. But at the

940
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 2: same time he realized, you know, it's time to man up,

941
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 2: and so he's got tears rolling down his face, but

942
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: he just kind of he's kind of nods his head yes,

943
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 2: and he says, all right, I know what I gotta do.

944
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: Let's go do it. That's exactly where Georgia is right now. Okay,

945
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 2: you just got slapped across the face against Alabama again

946
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: for like a million time in a row.

947
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 1: And it hurts. It hurts, bat it hurts.

948
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 2: If you're Kirby smart to step to the podium and

949
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 2: say they out physical us in the line of scrimmage.

950
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 2: You're not supposed to be saying that when you build

951
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: a roster like they do. But that's what you said.

952
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: But the point is season's not over. You may see

953
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 2: them again down the road. So like Will Smith, he

954
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: eventually got another interview. He eventually became a quadrillionaire. You

955
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 2: could still win a national championship this year, you could

956
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:14,279
Speaker 2: still win the SEC this year.

957
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: You don't know what JT. Daniels could look like.

958
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: Sometimes you gotta taste your own blood before you end

959
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 2: up exceeding anyone's expectations and succeeding yourself.

960
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: So that's where Georgia is right now.

961
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,280
Speaker 2: It's that pursuit of happiness, and there are varying phases

962
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 2: of the pursuit of happiness.

963
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: And they're in that little trough phase right now. But

964
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see.

965
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 2: How things turn out for Georgia at Florida State. My

966
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 2: mood tracker has them in processing error territory.

967
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: This doesn't make any sense, let me walk you through it.

968
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: So I've got to believe that it was very difficult

969
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: to say the least for FSU fans, alumni, former players,

970
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 2: and the like to watch the early season performances that

971
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 2: you saw from this team. It's not easy to watch

972
00:41:56,680 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech come into your building and beat you, only

973
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 2: to get housed by Central Florida the next week. It's

974
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 2: not easy to have to rally from a large deficit

975
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 2: to beat Jacksonville State at home. It's not easy to

976
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 2: watch Miami just.

977
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,880
Speaker 1: Have their way with you. That's not easy.

978
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,319
Speaker 2: But then all of a sudden, North Carolina comes to

979
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 2: town and there's this little five next to North Carolina's name,

980
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 2: and you beat them, and you get up twenty four

981
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 2: to nothing on them, and you hold on for the win.

982
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 2: And so that's got to alone look like a processing

983
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: era because it does not jive with what you had

984
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: seen so far in the season. But this is really

985
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: what I'm thinking about. What I'm thinking about with Florida

986
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 2: State is what if you had just skipped the first

987
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,760
Speaker 2: part of the year and you turned on the last

988
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 2: minute of that game and you looked and you saw

989
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 2: what Florida State's record was, and then you saw you

990
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 2: beat North Carolina and then you're dumping the power aid

991
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,759
Speaker 2: on the coach and it's like if you were to

992
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 2: just have traveled in time from like the mid nineties

993
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 2: or the early nineties, and you arrive.

994
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: Present day, you say, what has happened here?

995
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: In what world are we dousing a coach with anything

996
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 2: when we beat North Carolina.

997
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:08,760
Speaker 1: But yet on the other side.

998
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 2: You're ecstatic because you know what's happened early this year,

999
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden, now the same team that

1000
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 2: looked like abject flaming trash against Miami just got off

1001
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: the deck and beat a top five team. And that's

1002
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 2: no small thing because when you lose the way Mike

1003
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 2: Norvel has so far in year one and your culture

1004
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 2: hasn't taken hold and the rooting system's not in place,

1005
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 2: you risk losing your locker room. So it's confirmation and

1006
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 2: validation for him, but it's also validation for FSU fans

1007
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 2: that maybe this is the right guy. I mean, obviously,

1008
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 2: you can't lose a locker room and pull an up

1009
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 2: set like this. Maybe we're finally on our way now,

1010
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: and so you process that and that feels good, but

1011
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 2: then you realize that we got a long way to go,

1012
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: because when we're where we need to be, we're not

1013
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 2: pouring the power aid for beating North Carolina.

1014
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: And that's no not on North Carolina.

1015
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 2: That's just a testament how successful Florida State was once

1016
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 2: upon a time.

1017
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: How about Notre Dame.

1018
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 2: Notre Dame is in a place that I like to

1019
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: call salteen life. I don't know how it is where

1020
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 2: you grew up, but where I grew up in Columbus,

1021
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: Georgia and just north of dren Harris County. There are

1022
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 2: two things that people do, even if they don't know

1023
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: why they're doing them. One thing they do is they

1024
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 2: put a YETI cooler sticker on the back of their vehicle.

1025
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 2: And the second thing they do is they put a

1026
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 2: Salt Life sticker on the back of their vehicle. Now,

1027
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 2: half the people who have those stickers back there don't

1028
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 2: own it Yetian couldn't even tell you what salt life is.

1029
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: That's just the lifestyle that you're choosing to live there.

1030
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 2: Well, that's not quite what Notre Dame's living. Well, they're

1031
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 2: living is salteene life. You've tasted salteines before. There's not

1032
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 2: much to them. You go to a barbecue joint, that's

1033
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,280
Speaker 2: what you eat until the food gets there. But right now,

1034
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 2: this is what Notre Dame football is. It's kind of

1035
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 2: just salteeny. There's not a whole lot of flavor to it.

1036
00:44:46,680 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 2: You kind of got what you got. You know, you

1037
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 2: got Ian Book barely throwing for over one hundred yards

1038
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 2: against Louisville, and you watch Miami go up and down

1039
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 2: the field on Louisville. You can't hang fifteen points on Louisville.

1040
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 2: That's okay because you still win because you've got a

1041
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: good defen and you can do what you're supposed to

1042
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: against these teams. But I mean, Lord help us, when

1043
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: Clemson comes to town in a couple of weeks, what's

1044
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 2: it going to take to beat them. It's just there's

1045
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: nothing that pops right now about Notre Dame football. It's

1046
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 2: a solid program. I've got immense respect for Notre Dame.

1047
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 2: I defend them at every turn. But I don't even

1048
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:20,439
Speaker 2: think we need to waste a whole lot of time

1049
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,560
Speaker 2: talking about what needs to change here in order for

1050
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 2: them to ascend to the top tier.

1051
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: They're B tier right now. In fact, they're near the

1052
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: top of B tier.

1053
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 2: The roster they have, the roster Brian Kelly has built

1054
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: is good enough to where even without a dynamic presence

1055
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 2: of quarterback. They're favored against ninety percent of the sport.

1056
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 2: That is a very good thing. That's not something to

1057
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 2: take for granted. However, you're used to that now, for

1058
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 2: better or for worse, you're used to that, and so

1059
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 2: you don't want more of that.

1060
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,439
Speaker 1: You want to taste what's on the next level. And

1061
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 1: right now you got the salteine taste, and you want

1062
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: the barbecue taste. And to get.

1063
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 2: Barbecue, you got to get an elite quarterback in there.

1064
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: We'll see Tyler Butner, you know, we'll see and last,

1065
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 2: but not least, Tennessee volunteers. There was a I thought

1066
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 2: a very underrated Paula Cole song back in the nineties.

1067
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: I can't remember if this was the music video where

1068
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: she showed all her under arm here, but the song

1069
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: was called where have all the Cowboys Gone?

1070
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 1: So just a little variation.

1071
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,840
Speaker 2: On that out of Knoxville would have to be where

1072
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: have all the qbs gone?

1073
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: Where have they gone?

1074
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,239
Speaker 2: This is the place that once produced us the likes

1075
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 2: of Peyton Manning, and now we got quarterbacks throwing multiple

1076
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: pick sixes against Kentucky only to be benched and see

1077
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 2: the backup throw a pick and so then all of

1078
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 2: a sudden, we're talking about maybe playing a true freshman

1079
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 2: that didn't even get to play early portions of the

1080
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: spring and had COVID and.

1081
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 1: The where have all the QB's gone?

1082
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 2: And that's the big question is we wrapped the show

1083
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 2: kind of the same way we started the show. We're

1084
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 2: talking about this Saturday game they have against Alabama? Is

1085
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 2: Harrison Bailey the guy? I just need to know. I

1086
00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 2: need an A's a Tom Petty song. Actually, so we

1087
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 2: got Paula Cole and Tom Petty. Stevie Nicks did a

1088
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 2: good cover in Chicago a few years back. If I

1089
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 2: need to know, but I need to know about Harrison Bailey,

1090
00:46:57,560 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 2: just I need it because if he's not the guy,

1091
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:03,320
Speaker 2: then whatever we got to do, we gotta do, transfer route,

1092
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 2: steal someone's committed quarterback, whatever the case is. I just

1093
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 2: I got to get quarterback figured out at Tennessee. Got

1094
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:11,720
Speaker 2: to get it figured out. So that's the mood tracker

1095
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 2: right now as we head into week eight for various

1096
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,840
Speaker 2: fan bases across the country.

1097
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: I did forget about this, Shame on me.

1098
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: Before we do go, We've got some added best bets

1099
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,919
Speaker 2: on the Raman Noudle Express this week. Now, if you're

1100
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 2: not following me on Twitter, you missed this. We had

1101
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 2: to cancel the LSU bet, so we bought out of it.

1102
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 2: What that means is if you bet thirty dollars on it,

1103
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 2: then go bet thirty on South Carolina. In fact, you

1104
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: can get a bigger number, probably right now in Carolina.

1105
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,759
Speaker 2: So the game's not off the board. The game still

1106
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: on the board. We do not feel good at all

1107
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: about the quarterback situation at LSU. Injury situation with Miles

1108
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 2: Brennan a lot more serious than even I thought it was,

1109
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,839
Speaker 2: and I've been asking daily people down there about it.

1110
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: So he listened.

1111
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: He may end up playing Saturday. It's off of our board,

1112
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 2: our personal board. So we are canceling. We're wiping out

1113
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: LSU minus six. Go buy South Carolina plus seven to

1114
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,880
Speaker 2: balance that out. So here are the games we are on.

1115
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: We tweeted a couple of these out earlier today. Make

1116
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: sure you're following me on Twitter because if you're not,

1117
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 2: sometimes the lines have moved by the time that we

1118
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: come on air Iowa State. At last check, I want

1119
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: to say it's still at three and a half. We

1120
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 2: guided it three and a half. Iowa State is at

1121
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State Saturday. We are taking Missouri plus five at

1122
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 2: home against Kentucky, and we are taking Cincinnati. Maybe their

1123
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: game won't get postponed this week. We're taking Cincinnati plus

1124
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 2: three on the road at Southern Methodist. I don't know

1125
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 2: when we will released the final two. Could be on

1129
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 2: we haven't been in our home studio for an entire

1130
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 2: what has it been an entire week column? So now
