21
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm thinking this week I'm loving Notre Dame

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: minus six and a half at home against USC. Don't

23
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: believe in USC in the middle of a coaching change.

24
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: Will it be James Franklin. Seems like he's a leader

25
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna take LSU plus ten and a

26
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: half at Old Miss. Ole Missus beat up LSU is two.

27
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: LSU's found a little bit, especially in the gap scheme

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: running game, which is going to run the clock at

29
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: Ole Miss's defense didn't exactly the steel curtain. Give me

30
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: Penn State minus twenty three and a half against Brett

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,040
Speaker 1: b Lama and Illinois. Brett came out this week saying

32
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,319
Speaker 1: nobody that was on the team that was there before

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: him has really made a contribution. So I don't think

34
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: it's exactly rainbows and lollipops in that locker room. So

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm going Penn State Big Clifford hopefully coming back. You

Speaker 1: you our picks at the end, but have a hell

55
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: of a show planning for you today. I'm going to

56
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: start out in my monologue making the case for four

57
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: to five teams, and it's probably not the four to

58
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: five teams that everybody would pick that have a chance

59
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: to kind of upgrade themselves to jump into a new

60
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 1: tier not only in college football but in the Southeastern Conference.

61
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: And really the abilities and the ceilings of those teams.

62
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: I think you'll find that interesting. Jordan Battle from Alabama

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: starting dB had to pick six last week against Missisippi.

64
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: State's going to talk about their week of practice getting

65
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: ready for Tennessee and kind of how wasn't awakening the

66
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: loss at anm We're gonna play some punt or go

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: as we usually do. The SEC Networks Cole Cublic is

68
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: going to join us live. We're gonna talk everything National landscape,

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: SEC landscape where he kind of sees it right now

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: and project a little bit into the future. Tony Barnhart,

71
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: mister college football, is going to join us as well

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: to talk a lot of SEC. Is this the year

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: for Georgia? And we're gonna talk about which new coach,

74
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: whether it be Brian Harson, whether it be Shane biem

75
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: or whether it be Clark Lee, whether it be Josh Hypel,

76
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: which one of those guys has done the best job

77
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: in his overall thoughts excuse me on each job that

78
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: they're doing. And then, of course we're gonna give you

79
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: our bets for tonight. Gave our sharps Monday, going to

80
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: give you our bets for the night. A little Wednesday's

81
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: fun Belt Sun Belt in what is a showdown between

82
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: app State and Coastal Carolina. But I want to start

83
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 1: with making the case here on this first team. They're

84
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: having a heck of a year this year, and how

85
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: could they become a power in the SEC When you

86
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: look at Kentucky and you know your grandfather's Kentucky from

87
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: a football standpoint, you think basketball school football is good

88
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: every now and then, they're not super in love with it.

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: But if you look at the breath and I'm not

90
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: even talking about what Mark Stoops has done, when you

91
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: look at the breath of the Kentucky fan base, how

92
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: many basketball fans that they have, They're all over the country.

93
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: The passion is at an all time high. You know

94
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: you have the numbers, you just haven't been sexy enough

95
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: to bring everybody in to the fold. But what's sexier

96
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: than a new team on the block starting to reach

97
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: for aspirations You never thought the Kentucky program could. And

98
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: it's not like it's a one off. It's not like

99
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops got there inherited a bunch of players from

100
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: a successful coach that went somewhere else. He's built this

101
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: thing to last. How do you build it to last.

102
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: You build it from inside out. They're good enough up

103
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: front to win a lot of fights. You look at

104
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: how physical they were against Georgia. Georgia was a superior team,

105
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 1: I know. But Hucky, if they handle business the next

106
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 1: two weeks, which they likely will, is staring down the

107
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: barrel of going eleven and one. And this has been

108
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: a turnaround that's been going on. It's been happening. They've

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: basically been running an offense that was stuck in the

110
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties until Liam Cohen came in changed it a

111
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: little bit. Their personnel is still run heavy, and they're

112
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: smart enough to play to their personnel. But Kentucky, I feel,

113
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: as long as Mark Stoops is there, as long as

114
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: that culture is there, as long as that identity is there,

115
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: and as long as it keeps spreading through the breath

116
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: of the Kentucky fan base, which we know is a

117
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: sleeping giant, I think Kentucky can vault themselves from a

118
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: mid tier to lower tier SEC team to the next

119
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: tier out from being able to compete for a championship

120
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: every year. It's a long way to go, but Mark

121
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Stoops has them on the track. He has them on

122
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: the path, and he's doing it on the trail. And

123
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: when you add that with the resources that Kentucky has,

124
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: how new This love for Kentucky football is the journey

125
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: that Kentucky fans will take going from relative doesn't matter

126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: when it comes time to football season to we may

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: actually have a chance. Every year, I think you will

128
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: see Kentucky start to make more and more commitments to

129
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: that football program. Not that basketball won't be important, not

130
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: that it still won't be the best thing on campus

131
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: or the biggest thing on campus, but football is creeping

132
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: up and that's good not only for the fans, but

133
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 1: for the institution as well. So watch out for Kentucky

134
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: jumping from mid to low tier to the next tier

135
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: out and knocking on the door to once every three

136
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: to forty years, maybe even once every three years, take

137
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: a shot to win the East and change. You know,

138
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: we talk about changing the complexion of your family. Kentucky

139
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: is changing their complexity in the SEC family right now.

140
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: One snap at a time, one offensive lineman at a time,

141
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: one defensive lineman at the time. And I don't see

142
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops slowing down, especially if they go eleven and

143
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: one our ten and two. Here we got next Auburn. Auburn.

144
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: We all know that the ability to win at Auburn

145
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: is there. It's a brand name, it's proven, you can

146
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: win championships there. And Brian Harson comes in a higher

147
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: from outside of the box, really outside of the box.

148
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: You go around the corner, get another box, go around

149
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: another corner and jump in that box is where they

150
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: got Brian Harson. And the biggest thing Auburn has to

151
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: do here is make sure they don't get in their

152
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: own way. When Auburn football is going good, there's a

153
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: new sheriff in town, and it's going good, everybody wants

154
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: to help. Everybody wants to jump in. Everybody wants a

155
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: part of it. And that's fine, that's not a bad thing.

156
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 1: But Auburn cannot get lost in the forest. But before

157
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,239
Speaker 1: they get to the ocean, Brian Harson has a plan.

158
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: You can see that he is implementing that plan, from

159
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: accountability to a new system, to doing things a different way,

160
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: not militarily, militarily or that type of style. But there's

161
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: a whole heck of a lot more accountability and there's

162
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: to me a better culture and a longer lasting culture

163
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: that he's building at Auburn. Auburn just needs to keep

164
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing and let Brian Harson control how

165
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: it goes now or they're bumps in the road. Yes,

166
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: I mean we talked about the firing and Cornelius Williams here.

167
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 1: You know the almost the loss to Georgia State almost.

168
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: But you see how they're bouncing back, and you know

169
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: that Auburn has the capability. It's will they continue to

170
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: give Brian Harson the ability to reach out and do

171
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: it his way. What is do it his way means

172
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: it means recruiting on a national level, not just a

173
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: Southeastern level. You need to take care of your backyard.

174
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: He's doing that at Auburn High School right now with

175
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Drew Bobo and Eston Harris. But being able to go

176
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: get kids from California, go get kids from Washington, get

177
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: kids from the Northeast. Really expanding that footprint is going

178
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: to make up for some of the battles right now

179
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: that they just haven't had the winning record or they're

180
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: not the sexiest name to win some of these five

181
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: star defensive lineman and five star offensive lineman. But the

182
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,599
Speaker 1: style that Brian Harson preaches not only schematically and he

183
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: lets his coordinator's coach, whether it's Mike Bobo, whether it's

184
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Derek Mason. But the accountability that Auburn is back, the

185
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: putting on the jersey and understanding that you're playing for

186
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: something bigger than yourself, and the expectations and the standard

187
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: should be high. You should measure yourself to the best.

188
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: Auburn is back there right now. They've got a lot

189
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: of momentum. Will they hit another bump in the road

190
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: this season, I wouldn't be shocked. His personnel isn't where

191
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: it needs to be. But the longer he's able to

192
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: bring in his guys, specifically on the offensive line, specifically

193
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: at quarterback, I think Auburn will be better for it.

194
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: You just have to trust the process and stay out

195
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: of the way. Make the case for Arkansas being a powerhouse, well,

196
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: we know Arkansas has the resources. I mean you look

197
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: with their athletic department as a whole's doing right now

198
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: from baseball to basketball to football. They have proven that

199
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: they are relevant. You look in the past at the

200
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: top twenty five winning his teams. We know Arkansas has

201
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: the ability to be a problem and they've been down

202
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: in the cellar and Sam Pittman has led them out

203
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: of the darkness into the light a little bit, even

204
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 1: though some of them want to crawl back into darkness

205
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: after the last couple of weeks. But you see what

206
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: he is building and similar to Mark Stoops and really

207
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: the best way to do it. Sam Pittman is making

208
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage fun again at Arkansas because when you

209
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: think of Arkansas, you football purist, guys that have kept

210
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: up girls that have kept up with it for a

211
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: long time. When you think of Arkansas, you think of

212
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: running the ball, you think of physicality, you think of

213
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: a swarming defense, you think a huge offensive lineman. Sam

214
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: Pittman is bringing that back. But for Arkansas to continue

215
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: to take the next step, they have to continue to

216
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: understand that from a personnel standpoint. At least right now,

217
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: they're not nearly where they're going to be. But you

218
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: got a glimpse of when Arkansas beat Texas, and when

219
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: they beat Texas, A and M America can fall in

220
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: love with Sam Pittman. The college football landscape can fall

221
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: in love with Sam Pittman. And that's what Arkansas needs

222
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: because when Arkansas is rolling, their fan bases is dedicated.

223
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: It's as wide. It's as deep as anyone's. There are

224
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,440
Speaker 1: people that are coming out of the woodwork even now

225
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: looking at the national exposure that Sam Pittman has gotten.

226
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: But there is also an other thing that we have

227
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 1: to take into account here when you look at the

228
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: SEC West in recruiting, how do you separate yourself? And

229
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: Sam Pittman and that staff have separated themselves by being genuine.

230
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: Not that other staffs in the SEC, particularly the SEC West,

231
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: aren't genuine, but they're doing it in a very real way.

232
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: And the real way lasts and the longer that Arkansas

233
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: is stockpiling talent upfront on both sides of the ball

234
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: and then adding in the wide receiver from Florida, adding

235
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: in the dB from Texas, and kind of recruiting a

236
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: little bit outside of just that Arkansas corridor there with

237
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: Texas and Louisiana, You're going to continue to see them

238
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: climb up the ranks. And I know Arkansas fans may

239
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: be down now. It may not look as cool as

240
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: it did a couple weeks ago, not as many people

241
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: are putting out videos about Sam Pittman this out or

242
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 1: the other, But make no mistake, Arkansas has dug in

243
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: for the long haul. And while they may not win

244
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: nine games this year, while they may not win ten

245
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: games this year, do not be shocked if over the

246
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: next two to three to four to five years that

247
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Arkansas is making runs and winning games that they should

248
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: not win, at least not to this point, and they

249
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: will get to the point where they're able to physically

250
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: and athletically compete with each team in the SEC. That's

251
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: how good of a recruiter Sam Pittman is. But most importantly,

252
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: that's how good of a person that Sam Pittman is.

253
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: Talk to us about Texas A and M Look to me,

254
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 1: if I had to pick somebody, and I've said this

255
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: before the year, if I had to pick a program

256
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: to really challenge in the next three to five years,

257
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: the Alabama and Georgia kind of monopoly that they've had

258
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: on the SEC is up there. They are up there,

259
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: not just because Jimbo is a good coach, but it

260
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: is easy access, it's easy resources. The fan base is

261
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: as big as any in the country, and they will

262
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: do whatever they have to do to get to the

263
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: point where they are one of the big dogs. You

264
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: could feel it a a little bit this offseason, you know,

265
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: it's coming back. They've lost the Mississippi State, they lost

266
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: to Arkansas. They've had injuries this then and the other.

267
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: But when you look at the type of athletes on

268
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball the Texas A and M

269
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: is bringing in, they are a very, very high caliber.

270
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: I think that Texas A and M is probably closer

271
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: than anybody right now from an athletic depth standpoint up front,

272
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: even though they've got some young guys on that offensive line.

273
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: When you look at in Alabama and you look at Georgia,

274
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: but Jimbo Fisher knows what it takes to win a championship.

275
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 1: He just took down Nick Saban. That's a huge feather

276
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,079
Speaker 1: in the hat. That's something on the recruiting trail that

277
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: you can use and while it may not be the difference,

278
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: it may be what gets you in the door. To

279
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: have something that makes the difference. With nil, it's huge

280
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: for A and M. I already mentioned the resources, the alumni.

281
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: They have more money than they know what to do

282
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: with and they're not afraid to spend it. So when

283
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 1: you look at Texas A and M and you mix

284
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 1: in Kyle Field, you mix in the resources, you mix

285
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: in the fan base, you mix in their ability to

286
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: go out and sign any kid at any point in

287
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: time at anywhere in the country, including the state of Texas.

288
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I don't care that Texas is coming to the SEC.

289
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: In my opinion, they are knocking on the doorstep and

290
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: all they need is one foot in the door of

291
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: that playoff, whether it be four, whether it be eight,

292
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: whether it be twelve, and then they're going to turn

293
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: the corner. So to me, if I had to pick

294
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: point at somebody gun to my head right now and say,

295
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: these guys will compete against Georgia and Alabama very very

296
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: well over the next two to three years and try

297
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: and cement their plays in that upper tier. Texas A

298
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: and M is right up there, and even though they

299
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: have two losses, even with the injuries, they're right on

300
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: track still in my opinion, how about LSU. Look, LSU

301
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: recruits itself. Okay, we all know the way that LSU

302
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: dominates the state of Louisiana, a state that is rich

303
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 1: in talent every year. Now, they don't have the most linemen,

304
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: especially offensive linemen, but from a skill position standpoint, linebacker, standpoint,

305
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: running back, standpoint, you know guys that can gain twenty

306
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: thirty pounds and be hell off the edge. LSU has

307
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: it for days, and those kids will most likely always

308
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 1: go to LSU. But what LSU has is somewhat of

309
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: a nuanced Niche to me, has a ton of swag.

310
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: It's almost got that Miami swag. Feel that difference when

311
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: you're out there recruiting and you're you walk in with

312
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: an LSU logo and you see Death Valley and you

313
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: see how it's treated. There's a coolness to LSU that

314
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: allows them to get into doors that other people can't

315
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: just walk in. Not that Auburn's not cool, not that

316
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: Nm's not cool, but there's something about LSU. There's something

317
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: about the Bayou and kids love it. You look at

318
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: all the people they've put in the NFL. It's a

319
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: pipeline to the NFL there and that state. I would

320
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 1: put that state up against a lot of states per

321
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: capita in talent. But you have to make the right higher.

322
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: This is the higher. This is the higher when you're

323
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: in a nuclear arms race in the SEC, when the

324
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: West is there. It is where it is right now,

325
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 1: when Nick Saban is probably three to five years being out.

326
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: This is the higher that you cannot get wrong because

327
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: as cool as LSU is, as much swag as there

328
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: is down there, there's just too many dogs in the

329
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: yard to take a step back or make the wrong decision. NFL.

330
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: If you makes the right decision, they're one of the

331
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: few programs in the country that can go from the

332
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: Ugly step Sister to Cinderella in one foot of the coin.

333
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: We know about how crazy LSU fans are about football

334
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: down there. We know about how LSU gets when it's

335
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: cooking down there, how the environment is, how the recruiting

336
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 1: it is, how the recruiting is, how contagious it is

337
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: to be a part of that LSU swag and that

338
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: brand will always be that way. But you got one

339
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: shot to make a great hire here, Well, Scott Wouldward

340
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: do it. We know he's not afraid to pay. But

341
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you make these decisions

342
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: and you live with them. And I think that's what

343
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: we'll tell if LSU's able to jump in that next

344
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: here consistently. And I'm not talking about a twenty nineteen

345
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: national championship. I'm not talking about a twenty ten championship.

346
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about relevant or being elite once every

347
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, little bit. It's every year going oh hell

348
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: bam and George, we gotta play these guys. We gotta

349
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 1: recruit against these guys. Man, I'm feeling them catch up

350
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: on the recruiting trail. I can feel it a little bit.

351
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: Any Florida fans in there wondering what they have to

352
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: do play defense, Somebody stop the counter. LSU to me,

353
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: elis us like, els U's like that girl's super hot

354
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: but has like a great personality too. Yeah. Right, it's

355
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: just hard to find. It is hard to find. It's

356
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: you can't. Els U's just sexy to me. I don't

357
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: know why. I guess it's cool. Cool that juice is

358
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: a little bit different. Weird stuff goes on around in

359
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: the Bayou. Man. I've I've had guys from LSU legitimately

360
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: look me in the face and say, I was like,

361
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: you know what he'll do for fun? We chase rabbits. Yeah,

362
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 1: like look, you know, and catch them. And and the

363
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: type of athlete that's in the state of Louisiana, they're

364
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: different too, mentally, like they're not there's no a phrase

365
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: down there, like there's not a oh man, you know,

366
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: I'm in eighth grade. Now I'm playing varsity. Man, I'm nervous.

367
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: They're not like when when I was at South we

368
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,239
Speaker 1: had a bunch of kids from Louisiana. Never once did

369
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: any one of them be like, no, coach, don't put

370
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: me in our coach, and we'd have to grab them

371
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 1: and pull them back from going in. Whether it's inside drill,

372
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 1: whether it's one on one today, it didn't matter. And

373
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: they really are some of the most competitive people from everything.

374
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: I mean, we used have to go over to the

375
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: dorms and be like, y'all gotta calm down playing two

376
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,120
Speaker 1: K because you're so loud. They think y'all are brawling

377
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: in here. They're like, Coach, we're just talking. And I'm like,

378
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: I know because I know you guys. I know that,

379
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: But y'all are screaming at the top of your You're

380
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 1: six foot three, two five pounds, and y'all are screaming

381
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: at each other, and you're very loud because you're getting

382
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: dogged on two K. And you know what, I like

383
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: my players like that. I would rather say woe than go.

384
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: I would much rather say that father figure that you

385
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: were talking about a few weeks. I'd like to know

386
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: which state has the highest in state retention for its recruits.

387
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 1: It would have to be Louisiana, right, it's gonna have

388
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: a top recruit in Louisiana. They go to LU you

389
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,719
Speaker 1: would think, I mean maybe up there, but maybe some

390
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: of the Florida schools. And you would have to look

391
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: at like the top players too, because if you look

392
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: at everything in aggregate, you can only sign a certain

393
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 1: amount of guys. It's tough. But when you look at

394
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: the top guys, the four stars, the five stars that

395
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,640
Speaker 1: are staying home, it is so hard to go to Louisiana.

396
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: Really anywhere in Louisiana. Now there's spots where the high

397
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: school coaches may not be happy with the staff that's

398
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: there right now and their circumstances. But you go from

399
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: the top of Louisiana to the bottom of Louisiana. Those

400
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: guys love LSU football. Of LSU football, and they love

401
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: the Saints. Yea, those are the two things they love

402
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: me best. You said, look, LSU can go get a

403
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 1: top quarterback recruit from California, but California schools aren't coming

404
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: to Louisiana and get met. I don't see I don't

405
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 1: see a bunch of You know, I don't see a

406
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: bunch of USC recruits and UCLA recruits coming down to

407
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Edna car You know, I I don't see a lot

408
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: of that. You know, you really don't. But LSU to me,

409
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: and again, you saw it in twenty nineteen, just that way,

410
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: just that swag, just that Jews. It's different. It's different

411
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: when team not that Alabama didn't have, but they go

412
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 1: about it a different way. LSU. It's almost like a

413
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: kind of a you know, looser deal. I don't it's

414
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: hard for me to explain. But cultural offend isn't exactly

415
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. It's just different. Yeah, it's just

416
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: the we're better than even we know it everything. We're

417
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: not gonna We're not gonna say it, but we're gonna

418
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: show it. That canna be a double edged with Miami

419
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 1: Southern cow. You know, they can go downhill. That's why

420
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: you've got to hire the right guy. You've got to

421
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: have the right guy in there to control it. It's

422
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,919
Speaker 1: a it's a superpower, but with great power going Spider

423
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: Man right here. Oh wow, you're going, Toby, I'm going

424
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: to great power comes great response. I think we'd get

425
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: Spider Man until it was picktime. Yeah, who knows. At

426
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: this point, it's a who's who. But speaking of Spider Man,

427
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: a guy that's able to make plays all over the field,

428
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: had a big pick six last weekend against Mississippi State.

429
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: He's always smiling. I know he was smiling when he

430
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 1: had the pick six. Let's bring Jordan Battle in here.

431
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the Boustell clubs in all right, everybody,

432
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: as we usually do weekly, bringing in Alabama standout dB

433
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: coming off a good game. How to pick six? Mister

434
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: Jordan's battle? Jordan? What's up? What's up? Man? How are

435
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: you doing man? I'm doing good. It's good to see

436
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: you again, coming off a win after a tough loss

437
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: at A and M and Jordan, I want to start

438
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,640
Speaker 1: before we before we get to the win against Mississippi State.

439
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: You guys coming back for practice last week, you know,

440
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 1: I know you guys are always focused and it's very structured.

441
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: Was there anything different though? Was it turned up a

442
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: notch last week? What was it something a little bit

443
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: maybe out of what has been going on lately. Yeah,

444
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: Ateny it was definitely a lot a lot better than

445
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: it usually was. Last week we've been put a big

446
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: emphasis on how we can, how we can you know,

447
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: recover from that loss, and how we can how we

448
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: can you know, not let that one loss determine how

449
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: we can be for the rest of the year. So

450
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: that was really the big thing, and just focusing on

451
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: what we can become and not and not just you know,

452
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: making it, putting it and putting ourselves down just because

453
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: of one loss. Yeah, and you know, Jordan too, you're

454
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: a guy, you're a student of the game. What were

455
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 1: some things defensively? And I'm gonna ask you to get

456
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: in the weeds or give us any of the special sauce,

457
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: but what were a few things defensively, especially in the

458
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: back end that you guys talked about maybe tightening up

459
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: that zone a little bit, getting your eyes in the

460
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: right spot. What what were some what was some of

461
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: the messaging this week? Yeah, some of the you know,

462
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: just just covering the slot you know a lot better, Uh,

463
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: getting down on guys, you know, hook and swat, you know,

464
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: because sometimes we're in position, but we just don't make

465
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: the plays. And we put a big emphasis on, you know,

466
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: coming down and making open field tackles and not letting

467
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: the ball cross our faith so so those are just

468
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: some some little things that we could have tweaked in

469
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: the game that would have you know, turned out well. Yeah.

470
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: And at this level of the level you guys play

471
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 1: at and in the SEC every second count, so so fundamentally,

472
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: if you're not perfect or on time, that's something you've

473
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,320
Speaker 1: got to be able to fix it. I know you

474
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: guys did that. And you know, playing a Missisippi State

475
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: team and when you're playing an air raid team, Jordan

476
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: being a dB, I know you love coming downhill and

477
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 1: you're not afraid of contact at all. You'll meet anyone

478
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: in the alley. We've seen that. But going against an

479
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: air raid team, you got to be thinking to yourself, hey,

480
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: you know I might have some opportunities this week to

481
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: catch a couple of balls. And you sure did. Yeah,

482
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: you know, It's just the big thing is patience. Let

483
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: the play come to you. Just break on the ball

484
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: every time the ball is throne because you know, usually

485
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: play eight drafts when you play an air raid team,

486
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 1: so you know everybody has to break on the ball

487
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: when when the quarterback off and come off. So that

488
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: was just the biggest thing was breaking on the ball,

489
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: you know, mad creating turnovers for sure. Not. Now take

490
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: me Jordan inside the helmet. You pick the ball off,

491
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: you're rolling down the sideline. I know they're screaming, set

492
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: up the wall, set up the wall, set up the wall.

493
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 1: What was going through your mind? And I knew you

494
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: knew you were gonna score. About halfway you could tell

495
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: you knew you were gonna score. That kicked in that

496
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 1: extra gear a little bit. But take our audience inside

497
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: the helmet there. Yeah, mainly it was just the from

498
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: from the break on the from the break of the

499
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: receiver's route, the corner route. I saw, I just broke

500
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: onto him and then I saw his eyes get big

501
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: and I turned around, I saw the ball and that's when, um,

502
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: usually I'll make a deflection or anything, but this time

503
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: I decided to, you know, go go for the interception,

504
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,159
Speaker 1: and uh, as you can see, I caught it, and

505
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: I've seen I was about to cut across field, but

506
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 1: I saw like Balco, Yeah, yeah, Melanco, Armer, Davidson, Phil

507
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 1: Matthis I think got a little got a block for

508
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: me down the sideline and Herry. So I just decided

509
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: to follow my guys down the sideline and uh to

510
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: the end zone. Yeah, you know, I always thought it

511
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 1: was cool because you work in at this and you're

512
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: always told, hey, once you pick a side in the wall,

513
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: set to that side, don't cut it across the field.

514
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: Now you get in the NFL, you can do whatever

515
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,879
Speaker 1: the hell you want. They really cut it back. They try.

516
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: They've been pitching at each other in the NFL and stuff.

517
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: But now, I mean, that was great technique by you guys.

518
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: And you know, moving forward Jordan and looking at the

519
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: at the matchups, y'all have again controlling your destiny in

520
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: the SEC. West got some big games, including this one

521
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, which we know is a big rivalry even

522
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 1: though Alabama's really dominated it. What does this weekend mean

523
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: to you? With Tennessee coming in running that style of offense,

524
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,440
Speaker 1: the up tempo, full speed, how much does that change

525
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: the preparation for you guys? That almost goes back to

526
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: um old mystery. We have to be prepared, line up quickly,

527
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: get the call, you know, and execute the call. Because

528
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,160
Speaker 1: when we're all on the same page, we're a dangerous team.

529
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: And we're not. We have to we're not, So we

530
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: have to be on the same page every play, get

531
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: the call and make sure everybody can execute the call

532
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: before the US Now true and from a communication standpoint, Jordan,

533
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: and this is something that I find fascinating. When teams

534
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: are going that fast, you have to speed up your

535
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: communication as well, because you don't just want to stay

536
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: in base the whole time. That's half the reason they're

537
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: doing what they're doing. So does the communication change? I

538
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: know you guys do hand signals. I'm not asking for

539
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: all that, but how much faster does the communication have

540
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: to be on y'all's end reacting to what you're getting

541
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,919
Speaker 1: from a team going so fast. Yeah, Usually, like from

542
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: the dB aspect, the corners don't even look the corners

543
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: like if they can's the far side corner doesn't even

544
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: look at the sideline, just looks at the safety for

545
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: the call. So usually the communication does changes because we

546
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: don't have as much time, you know, for everybody to

547
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: look at the sideline and get the call and execute

548
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 1: the call. So so usually the corner just looks at

549
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: the safety and we'll just give them a call or

550
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: tell them the coverage and they and they just play

551
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: from there. Definitely. And my last question for you, Jordan,

552
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: I know you guys are excited to get back home.

553
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 1: We know Brian Denny's gonna be rocking. What is it

554
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,679
Speaker 1: like for you to be able to play at home

555
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,159
Speaker 1: and have the advantage on your side and all that

556
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: noise going on when the defense is out there because

557
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to get that offense to get a few

558
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 1: procedure penalties. Yeah, man, there's nothing like fanning. Then, you know,

559
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: you know the fans always rocking for us. It's a

560
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: night game, so you know, the the lights will be flashing,

561
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: oh man, And we just hope to give the fans

562
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,600
Speaker 1: what they want. This is a big game, big rivalry

563
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: for all the all the alumni, and then we're hoping

564
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: to give them the game that theyn't want to see. Well, Jordan,

565
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: you always give me the interview we want to see. Brother.

566
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate chicking grats on the success last week, good

567
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: luck this weekend at home. We'll talk next week. Thank you,

568
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 1: my guy. Jordan's always a good time. Man, my guy. Yeah,

569
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: like I started that, you didn't start I started that. Hey,

570
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: what's up, my guy? I mute mute for fine, and

571
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 1: he'll tell you the truth. I don't believe it's speaking

572
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: the truth. Let's give the Booster Club Yeah, David Elm

573
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: with the questionnaires is jadd Can anyone tell me why

574
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: Arkansas has never been able to recruit to recruit the

575
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,919
Speaker 1: football program. In twenty five years, we have never finished

576
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: in the top half of the SEC. Right now we

577
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: are averaging thirteenth in the SEC for twenty and twenty two. Well, look,

578
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,479
Speaker 1: and I've talked about recruiting rankings on here. You know,

579
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: they're great to look at. You know, most of the

580
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: ones that are four and five stars that are going

581
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: to hit you have your bus and stuff like that,

582
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: But look at it's not always about that. And if

583
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: you go back and look at teams, especially in the NFL,

584
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: you look at the average star ranting in this, that

585
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: and the other, and then again you're looking at how

586
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: many teams. But if I'm Arkansas, you guys are going

587
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 1: to get up there in the recruiting rankings. Just over time.

588
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: It's going to happen. But the thing about Sam Pittman

589
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: is he's signing guys that fit what he wants to

590
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 1: do as well. It's not all about stargazing. You don't

591
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: work for NASA. You're a college football coach. You're you

592
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: want the stars that fit the type culture that you

593
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: want and act and that are going to act the

594
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: way that you want, because again, it is a team

595
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: Sportball is the greatest team sport, in my opinion, on

596
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: the planet. But you have to have the right recipe,

597
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: you have to have the right mixture. That's why sometimes

598
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: you look at Georgia Alabama and you're like, man, you

599
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: know they signed that three star. They offered a three

600
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: star that they could care less about what a star is.

601
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: Now it looks cool and people get bonuses and stuff

602
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: like that for four and five stars at some places,

603
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, it's about winning.

604
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: It's about winning. And you can take a bunch of

605
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: teams that have won championships and go through that roster

606
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: and re rank the stars, see who mattered the most,

607
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: and you will be shocked to see the correlation between

608
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: the stars that were coming out of high school and

609
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: the stars that are at a place now that I'm

610
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: talking about that has won the championship. But but in

611
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: that same token, it is a balance. You want to

612
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: sign the best players in the country that are also

613
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: the best people in the country. That is the race,

614
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot there's a lot more good

615
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: players that aren't great people, than there are great players

616
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: that are great people, and it's finding that. And sometimes

617
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: it's it may not be the five star or the

618
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 1: fourth star. It may be the three star that you're

619
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: watching on tape and you're saying, man, like, I think

620
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 1: we can get this kid, and if you put twenty

621
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: pounds on him, or maybe he's in an area that's

622
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: not that it's not heavily recruited, but people just aren't

623
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 1: love with in recruiting and say, this guy is twenty

624
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: five pounds away from being what we want him to be.

625
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: You look at our roster. We need to sign a

626
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: guy at this position, but we can red shirt a

627
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 1: guy at this position, put him in the weight room,

628
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: get in there. He's a three eight student, he does

629
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: great in the community. We've talked to the counselor, we've

630
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: talked to the lunch lady. They all love him. Those

631
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: are the type guys that you're willing to take a

632
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: chance on. And a lot of times, does that mean

633
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna be you know, Cadillac Williams, or they're gonna

634
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: be Darren McFadden every time. No, sometimes, but you tend

635
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: to always get more out of those guys for longer. Especially,

636
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: it's a society today where you can just get in

637
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: the portal if it doesn't work out good. You want

638
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 1: guys that kind of have that I guess you'd call

639
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: it moxiness, but that salt of the earthness mixed with

640
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: the ability. And you'll take maybe a guy that needs

641
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: to get a little more flexible, but you see the

642
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: potential and he handles his business off the field and

643
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 1: he treats people with respect as opposed to a guy

644
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: out there that's got all world potential. But you have

645
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: to worry every night when he leaves practice. You gotta

646
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: worry every Friday night before a game or any time

647
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: he leaves the facility. And you get too many guys

648
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 1: like that. It's amazing how they start finding each other.

649
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: We all know those guys. Everybody in the Booster Club

650
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: has played with some guys who's so athletically gifted, right,

651
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: he's always gotten by on that talent and maybe a

652
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: person of low character. And look, you can make it.

653
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,239
Speaker 1: If you're athletically gifted enough. You can play athletics at

654
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: a high level. But at some point, the amount of

655
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: work you have to do with these top programs gets

656
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 1: strenuous that a bad character, a low character will shine

657
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: through eventually. That's true. And I mean if you're a

658
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: guy that ends up signing with an Alabama or a Georgia,

659
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: one of these elite teams, and you go in there,

660
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah you're athletic, but so are these all these guys.

661
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: So what separates you now? Your ability separated you in

662
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: high school from a law from ninety nine point nine

663
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: percent of the country. What separates you now? And that's

664
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: the difference when when you start getting a culture in

665
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: your locker room and in your program where you have

666
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of talented guys that aren't even worried about

667
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: how talented they are. It's not about that anymore. It's

668
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,040
Speaker 1: how well they can do the stuff outside, how well

669
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: they can embrace the routine, how early they can show up,

670
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: how much extra film they can watch, how much they

671
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: can do as a team off the field, whether it's

672
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: just throwing during the summer and stuff like that. That's

673
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: when you start seeing that machine crank it out. And

674
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: guess what great players want to be coached? Hard kids

675
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: that are coming out of high school that think I

676
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: have a chance to make the NFL but I know

677
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: the work that I'm going to have to put in.

678
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 1: Go to these places and watch that, and that's what

679
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: jumps off at the page. It's not only are these

680
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,080
Speaker 1: guys stars, but they handle their business, they police and

681
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: the kind of what Saban said, there's nothing like a

682
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: team where your best players are also your hardest workers.

683
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: That's it. That's the whole goal. And once you have that,

684
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: you either conform or you get the hell out. Yeah,

685
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: that's how it should be. That's that's how a winning

686
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: program operates. Let's play some punter go. Okay, let's see here.

687
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: I got the first one for you. All right, The

688
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: Matt Corral injury will lead to an LSU upset putter go.

689
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, punt but barely. And I'm not saying

690
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: that Matt Carroll's not gonna play. What I'm saying is

691
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: if he is limited running, that takes a big tool

692
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: out of the tool toolbox, not just him escaping and

693
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: getting fifteen yards in the run, but extending plays, making

694
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: one guy miss and then finding a guy down field.

695
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,479
Speaker 1: But looking at this injury, being a lower body injury,

696
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: if he if it's a hey, we're gonna have to

697
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: do it from the pocket, not that he can't. Matt

698
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: Carroll's one of the most talented, if not the most

699
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: talented thrower in college football. But you're taking a huge

700
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: wing away from from the offensive department of what ole

701
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: Miss does because now you look outside, Well, Braylon Sanders

702
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: is beat up, Jonathan Mingo has the broken foot, they're

703
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: down a left guard. Oh Miss is a little bit

704
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: beat up. It's not just Matt Correll and can And

705
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: if the LSU game scares you, not just because LSU

706
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: still has good players, but they're playing with house money.

707
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: Were they're gonna do fire at or dron they can

708
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 1: go down there and do you don't know, you really

709
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: have no idea now, Les She's like, hey, wait a minute,

710
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: we can run the counter really well. Or we're we're

711
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: a gav scheme team, like a bunch of us have

712
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: been saying all season. But they've got nothing to lose

713
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: if they go play bad, well, hell, they play bad.

714
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: But typically if you go down there and play free,

715
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: it's a lot scarier than it is a team that

716
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: goes down there and they're uptight. Are they worried about

717
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: making a mistake? Ls, you's got no worry in the world.

718
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: And when you blend those type of athletes with really

719
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 1: not any worries in the world, as a as Lane

720
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: Kiffin or that almost coaches half and I know they've

721
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: been talking about it all week. Guys, they could blitze

722
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: every down on defense. Well why not If you say,

723
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: all right, Matt Carrell can't run that, well, why would

724
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: you not just heat him up. I'm not looking out

725
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: there and seeing Elijah Moore. I'm not looking out there

726
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: and seeing Kenny Aboa. I'm not looking out there and

727
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: seeing Jonathan Mingo. Braylon Sanders is beat up, and I'll

728
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: let you who cares. Don't want to run screens run screens,

729
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: We'll just retrace and try and knock it down. So

730
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 1: it's a scary combination for all miss. I still think

731
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: they win, but I don't think they cover. Gotcha. Okay,

732
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: all right, Oklahoma will win out with Caleb Williams at quarterback.

733
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna punt. I think they lose a game, and

734
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 1: it may be the Bedlum game against Oklahoma States, just

735
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: because Oklahoma State that it's not super flashy. Those are

736
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 1: the type teams that give give Oklahoma trouble. You look

737
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: at the Kansas States of the past, you look at

738
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: the Iowa States of the past. It's not you TCU.

739
00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: It's not super flashy, but they just kind of hang around,

740
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: kind of like Edo. They just hang around and hang

741
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 1: around and hang around. And then you look up in

742
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter you're like, whoa, whoa, whoall we're up

743
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: by three and they're driving like they're at the ten

744
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 1: going in with six minutes ago. And Caleb Williams is

745
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 1: a big talent. We know that, we know how talented

746
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: he is, but I don't there is a game coming

747
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: where he does not play well, where he tries to

748
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: force him because everything's going good. It's rainbow, candy and

749
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: lollipops right now. But the minute it starts going bad,

750
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna see how he reacts to it because it's

751
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,279
Speaker 1: not always going to be candy and rainbow and lollipops.

752
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,839
Speaker 1: And I think Oklahoma does drop a game which thowes

753
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,879
Speaker 1: another wrench, and know who's gonna make the final four?

754
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: Is we kind of get to stretch time here. Yeah,

755
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see if they trend even

756
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: better now that they've kind of gotten the Spencer Rattler

757
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: problem out of the way, or if, like you said,

758
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: his youth will shine through. Here's the next one. I

759
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: want to know, Josh Hypel will beat Alabama at least

760
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 1: once in his tenure. Hey, spread spreadpunt, spread punt, spread punt.

761
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: Where I'm putting this? Okay, Look, they haven't beat him

762
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: since I was like, gosh, Hollins, Bob was what's seventeen,

763
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 1: maybe shorter than that and younger than that. I hadn't

764
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 1: be younger than that. I don't see it. I still

765
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: believe this ncuba a cloud. If I'm a Tennessee fan,

766
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,359
Speaker 1: just it bothers me. It bothers me. And I talk

767
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 1: about this a little bit with Tony Barnhardt, like just

768
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 1: tell me what we got, Like, what's the penalty, because

769
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: you can't start fresh until you know what the penalty is.

770
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 1: Is it a postseason ban which sucks? Is it reduced scholarships?

771
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: What is it? You need to know? And I still

772
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: don't think Tennessee has near the personnel because they don't.

773
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: It's the truth that Alabama has. They're not gonna beat

774
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: them Saturday. It's gonna be ugly Saturday, and they are

775
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: at least I mean, I think four or five, maybe

776
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: even six years from being able to bring in the

777
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: tight talent in stockpile, the tight talent that Alabama's gonna

778
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: have and they're gonna continue to have because if Nick

779
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: Saban retires, it's not like everybody's gonna stop going to Alabama.

780
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 1: They won't be as dominant as they were, but they're

781
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: gonna bring in a guy that can recruit in Alabama.

782
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: The machine, the players going in to the the NFL are

783
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 1: still going to be there, and the new staff is

784
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: going to try and pick up off that and just

785
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: ride off that and just add to it and add

786
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: to it and add to it. They've already got the blue.

787
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: But no, I don't think Josh Hype. I'm gonna put

788
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: on that. I don't think Josh Hype beats Alabama once.

789
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 1: All right, So understanding that Wake is the only undefeated

790
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: team in the ACC left, the ACC will not produce

791
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: a playoff team this season. Go, I'm gonna go on this.

792
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: I think the ACC. You know, you look at Clemson,

793
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: they've been the flagship team in there. Florida State not

794
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: pretty right now, even though they're doing better. Miami not

795
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: pretty right now, even though they're doing worse. When you

796
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: look around the conference, Wake's been a great story. Look,

797
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 1: they play an Army team. This is a weird game

798
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: this weekend. This is just an interesting matchup. Army has

799
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 1: been playing pretty well. They have their identity. We know

800
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,359
Speaker 1: they're the triple option. We're gonna get it wide, run, run, run,

801
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 1: and Wake. While they're undefeated, hasn't been clean all the

802
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: way through. It's not like they're mopping people up. You know,

803
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: They've had good wins and this, that and the other.

804
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 1: They escaped in Syracuse, There's been multiple other games. They

805
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: are gonna slip up. But the ACC will not have

806
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: a playoff team this year, and they should. They're not

807
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: good enough all right. So out Back Steakhouse with all

808
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: the nil deals is the best restaurant chain in the country. Well,

809
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: it's just so funny. We got Cole Cubic coming on

810
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 1: here in a minute, and Cole you know, is eating

811
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: the blooming onions on camera. It's kind of a great segue.

812
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: Look Outback is up there, man, Now, I like out

813
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: Back here, Alice springs Chicken. Look, it hits hard, it

814
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: hits hard. Always been a blooming onion fan. I really

815
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: like the vibe. It would be it would be a

816
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: higher ranked I'll say, go on that. I'll say going

817
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: that outback is up there, always had clean bathrooms, never

818
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: had a bad situation, the vibe. Why not? Why do

819
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: you any reasons? You're just not a big fan. No,

820
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: it's just not that good to me. Really, So what's good?

821
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:56,799
Speaker 1: What's the best, what's the best chain restaurant? The best

822
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: chain restaurants here? Don't put me on the spot. No,

823
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die, said out trash. Yeah, okay, trash, that's

824
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: not what I said, trash, clown fighting words you said.

825
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,439
Speaker 1: I think I just I just don't think they're that good.

826
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: You don't think they're they're upper tier. Yeah, yeah, you

827
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: know what. I'm Applebee's. I mean Chili's with me, and

828
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 1: here we go Chili's with him and his outback should

829
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: reach out to us free food to get Blaine convinced.

830
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 1: You gotta get you know what, outbacks, send us your

831
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: hottest wing. So I really want you, but I want

832
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: you to take the clip of Blaine saying I want

833
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: you to just wing, whip up a batch of just

834
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,839
Speaker 1: the hottest stuff you got and just put it all

835
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: together a real witches brew out back style, just to

836
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,719
Speaker 1: watch Blaine. I think everybody. I think everybody can enjoy that. Well,

837
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: that's an interesting last question. Yeah, that's a you know.

838
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: We used to go when I was younger to out back.

839
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: I tell you what, we can Red Lobster all the time.

840
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: It's a problem. Here's the problem, though, you go to

841
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 1: Red at least for me, you go to Red Lobster

842
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, man, I'm gonna get the

843
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: lobster pasta or something like that, and then they bring

844
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: out those cheese biscuits and there's no way you can't

845
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: eat too many the cheese by the time the meal

846
00:41:21,760 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: comes up. Bull. My dad always complains about that. Man,

847
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: you're so good. Look you think pringles, do you think?

848
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: Do you think the fun? You can eat one of

849
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: those and the fun don't stop. If I would like

850
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: to find the psychopath that can eat one Red Lobster

851
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,359
Speaker 1: cheese biscuit and just put the rest down that all right,

852
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,360
Speaker 1: I'm good till dinner. Show me that you want me

853
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 1: that person. I know why they don't exist. That's why

854
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: I used to walk in the Red lobs. I went

855
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: to Red Lobster mostly when I was a kid. You know,

856
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: when you walk in the Red Lobster. They got all

857
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: the lobsters right in front. Used to look at him like, man, yea,

858
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 1: I don't even know. No, they're like a tank. It's

859
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 1: a great situation. They can and they boil you alive. Yeah,

860
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 1: that's how every movie ends at Red Lobster. That's tough. Yeah,

861
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: the Biscuits are great. All right, Speaking about people that

862
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: do exist, Cole Cublic does exist, and we're gonna bring

863
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 1: him in right now to prove it. There he is, Hey, Cole,

864
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: what's up? Man? Hey, how's it going? Man? It's going good.

865
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 1: I just you know, my brother over here with the

866
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: blasphemy about Outback Steakhouse, I'm kind of reeling from that

867
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,399
Speaker 1: after he said he didn't think it was the top

868
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: chain restaurant. I know you've obviously said, I know that's

869
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: what I said. Yeah, really, Tennessee. To me, well, you know,

870
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: you're you're really on one to night and you need

871
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: to stop. Why the bad attitude? You need to stop

872
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: because you're doing too much. All right, Cole, let's get

873
00:42:45,560 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: in here. We can talk about blooming onions all day,

874
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:50,400
Speaker 1: but let's talk a little bit national landscape before we

875
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,439
Speaker 1: get to the SEC and I've talked about this a lot,

876
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: the parody in college football this year outside I mean,

877
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: you know, Georgia to me looks like the most dominant

878
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: team Alabama. We know how elite their players are and

879
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: their ceiling, the celling that they have. But just your

880
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: thought on the Super Seniors and the overall parody this year,

881
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 1: it's been fun. The narratives have been a little bit different. Yeah,

882
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: I think it's it's been interesting to see a couple

883
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: of different teams that are maybe in a position to

884
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: play their way into the playoff or play annoying to

885
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs discussion. We've already had a couple of different ones,

886
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 1: and Cincinnati's there, Iowa obviously was there for a wild

887
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 1: bad loss of for new over the weekend. And then

888
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: I think too when you look at at sort of

889
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: what's next and some other teams that may have that

890
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: opportunity in Michigan State's going to be there. Michigan is

891
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 1: still there, and you look at what those two teams,

892
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: along with Ohio States still have to play the rest

893
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: of the way. That's gonna be a lot of fun

894
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: to watch. So I wouldn't say Oregans out of it.

895
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: By the Strutch of the imagination. So it's yeah, it's

896
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: been pretty cool. I don't really know. I think we

897
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,320
Speaker 1: all thought going into it that some of the super

898
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: seniors in the transfer portal are going to be the

899
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,160
Speaker 1: big reason that was going to take place. I don't

900
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: I can't really point to a team and say, oh, well,

901
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: they had sevent eight guys back. So this is definitely

902
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: the reason that super seniors have made this big of

903
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: a difference. I think it's helped a lot of teams.

904
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: I just don't think we have as many elite quarterbacks

905
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: in college football this year, and that's probably why we're

906
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 1: seeing it. I mean, some of the usual suspects be

907
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: at Clemson or a couple of other teams that we're

908
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: used to be in there, they're not getting the same

909
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of play from that position, and I think it's

910
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: gonna get a big difference true, and it's amazing. Defense

911
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,200
Speaker 1: is getting an actual spring and then a true fall camp.

912
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: I think it's taking a little bit out of out

913
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: of the offense explosion that we saw last year. But

914
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:33,800
Speaker 1: I want to get to lsu cole This is a

915
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: huge higher. It's always a huge hire when you come

916
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: down the SEC but you look at really the nuclear

917
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 1: arms race that we have. And you look at the

918
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: west right now, who are a couple of guys in

919
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: your mind that you think would be a good fit

920
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 1: at LSU that are realistic possibility. I'm going to give

921
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: you one that I think should be a realistic possibility

922
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 1: but probably isn't off the jump, and it's Billy Napier.

923
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: I think you know there's forty five minutes down the

924
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 1: road at Lafayette right now, He's got his He's dug

925
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: into Louisiana. As far as recruiting is concerned, I think

926
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: he understands how to build an entire football facility as

927
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: opposed to just a roster. He's already recruited the state.

928
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: I think you could put an amazing staff together. And

929
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: he's a culture guy. He's someone who understands that you

930
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: don't just go accumulate talent, throw him on the field

931
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna be able to win games. So

932
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't I also just don't think that the LSU

933
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: brass is gonna go for that. I think that they're

934
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna be folks that say, we can't allow ourselves to

935
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 1: go hire codes from Louisiana. Lafayette to be the next

936
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: head coach at LSU. So then I think you're gonna

937
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,320
Speaker 1: see James Franklin. I think you're gonna see Bill O'Brien.

938
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna hear about Lincoln Riley. I don't

939
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 1: know how real that is or not. I don't really

940
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: know what Lincoln wants. I don't know if he thinks

941
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: a change the senior we would be good for him.

942
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 1: We hear the NFL rumors the last few years. I

943
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: don't think those happened for no reason. So I doubt

944
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: that he would go to another Power of five school

945
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: before he might make that jump. It's Scott Wood has

946
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: got a track record of making some surprise hires and

947
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:00,839
Speaker 1: going and finding big name coach, which is to move in.

948
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: Here's the problem with that, Jake is I've heard described

949
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 1: a couple of different ways, splash higher, monster higher. He

950
00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,960
Speaker 1: has to bring a star in. You know, it has

951
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: to be a big name that's gonna resonate. All right,

952
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: how many of those names are out there? I mean, honestly,

953
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: how many? How many of them fit that description are

954
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: out there? And then how many could you immediately take

955
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: off your list that just aren't gonna take it because

956
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: I don't I mean, Dabbo might leave one day, but

957
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 1: I don't think he's leaving for LSU. Savan's not leaving,

958
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Day's not leaving. And if if Lincoln Riley's not leaving,

959
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 1: who's left on your who's left on that list? Jimbo?

960
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:39,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, I wouldn't leave in for LSU

961
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: right now, not today, most days I would, but not

962
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: right this second, not with what Jimbo's already done, and

963
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,719
Speaker 1: not with some of the other stuff happening behind the

964
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 1: scenes at LSU. But it is a top five job

965
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: in college football. So there will be names that you

966
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: and I aren't even thinking about, and I'll even talking

967
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: about that become a real possibility for that job. Yeah,

968
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: why I always sound here the first guy you here

969
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: that's gonna get it never gets it typically in this situation.

970
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 1: Another name to me, and it's it's not a sexy name,

971
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: our splash higher. I just I may go talk to

972
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: the guy that just drug you at home at Kentucky

973
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: Mark Stoops, maybe just see how it's going with him,

974
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: because that guy, to me, you know, while it while

975
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be the sexiest name out there, this that

976
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,880
Speaker 1: and the other the guy can obviously coach and he

977
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 1: understands how to build it from the inside out. But

978
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,080
Speaker 1: Cole speaking about having to build it from the inside out.

979
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: Brian Harson and Auburn, you know bow Knicks, they go

980
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: to Arkansas, took what Arkansas gave him. You know, bow

981
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,919
Speaker 1: Knicks looks like a completely different guy. I think that's

982
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 1: what I don't think Mike Bobo gets enough credit as

983
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: a position coach. You know, you hear about coordinators and

984
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: play calling, but this is what he does. Just your

985
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: overall thoughts of Auburn right now as a team that

986
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: still controls their own destiny as we sit here on

987
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: October twentieth. I think it's an easy jake to say

988
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: ahead of schedule, it's easy to say improved. I mean,

989
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: you watch that offense like I do, and I can't

990
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: help but watch it every week and think, good God,

991
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: they are just this is a patchwork deal. They are

992
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: really just sort of mixing and matching and you know,

993
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: tinkering with things to be able to find a way

994
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: to consistently move the ball a little bit, and it's

995
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 1: morphed and it's changed throughout the course of the season.

996
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: When you go back to go back to LSU and

997
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: look how they put in some of the misdirection and

998
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 1: some of the heavy formations, and then how they really

999
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: started to focus and emphasize on quarterback run, probably saying

1000
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 1: to themselves, this is what the guy does best. We

1001
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: might as well use it. We might as well put

1002
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: it out there and give him the option to pull it,

1003
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 1: and put him out on the perimeter and give him

1004
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: the option to keep it. And we know, now we

1005
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: got a guy behind him. It's not a complete liability,

1006
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 1: So maybe we can afford to let him take five, eight,

1007
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: ten more hits a game. It will be comfortable with that.

1008
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: But I think you're right, not just about Bobo as

1009
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 1: a quarterback coach, but Bobo and Harson also with the

1010
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: way that they've put the plans together offensively. You know,

1011
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: now you saw a few more shot plays in the

1012
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: Arkansas game. I think some of that has to do

1013
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,320
Speaker 1: with the confidence of the receivers. I think the receivers

1014
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 1: are playing a little bit better, and Bob it better.

1015
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,800
Speaker 1: I mean, you go back to that Georgia game and

1016
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 1: the body language was terrible, it was awful. It needed

1017
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: to improve. I saw a little bit of improvement in

1018
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: that department with him. And then obviously the touch and

1019
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: the feel on a couple of those deep balls against

1020
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: Arkansas actually giving the receivers a chance to adjust and

1021
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: go make a play that hasn't really been there and

1022
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: many other times in his career. So that's improved. I mean,

1023
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: I think I think I counted it up today. The

1024
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: tight ends have accumulated for around thirty four catches and

1025
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: almost hundred yards. Yea, we haven't haven't seen that, and

1026
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,919
Speaker 1: I don't know how long. What does that mean? Yeah,

1027
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: it's it means that guys know how to formation you

1028
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: and use different people a different position that can do

1029
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: multiple things on the field at one time, and they're

1030
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:42,760
Speaker 1: gonna make you more difficult to defend. And that's again,

1031
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: that's just something else that that group has done that's

1032
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. And I'll ask you this question because I

1033
00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: thought it out loud and I asked it on my

1034
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: should this morning with Greg. If the Georgia State game

1035
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: goes into similar fashion to the first two non conference games,

1036
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: even even half of that, let's just say it was

1037
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: thirty four to ten and it was a boring, comfortable

1038
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 1: non conference win. How different is the perception of Auburn

1039
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 1: and Brian Harson right now, because I think that's the

1040
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: one thing that is holding people back from being impressed

1041
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:16,879
Speaker 1: with what's happening. Yeah, and you know the funny part

1042
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: about that, the irony and that is I think that's

1043
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,280
Speaker 1: probably the best thing that happened to this Auburn football

1044
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:23,160
Speaker 1: team the whole year, was to barely win that game

1045
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: against Georgia State and the coach is able to go back,

1046
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: but I agree with you. I mean, they're always going

1047
00:50:28,200 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: to look back and people, you know, we'll always look

1048
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: back and say, oh, well, how can I have my

1049
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: faith in this guy? If you guys had to beat

1050
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: Georgia State on the last second drive, Well, I can

1051
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: go back and tell you multiple times that national championship

1052
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: teams struggle with teams that they should have beaten very badly. Now,

1053
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: it may not be from a Georgia State standpoint, but

1054
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: I watched Auburn go up to Lexington and have to

1055
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: kick a field goal with Cam Newton in twenty and

1056
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 1: ten to win the game, and in a game they

1057
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 1: should have won a lot more, that's exactly right they did, though,

1058
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 1: I almost a Hail Mary at halftime to win that game.

1059
00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,919
Speaker 1: When you go back and look at it, so no, look,

1060
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 1: a win is a win. But to me, when I

1061
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 1: look at markers for Auburn through the season, I go

1062
00:51:05,719 --> 00:51:08,319
Speaker 1: back to that Georgia State win, and I think that

1063
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: win from an internal standpoint, and using that to go

1064
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: forward and watching the way they've played since then, may

1065
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 1: have been the best blessing in disguise that Auburn has

1066
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: had the whole season, which is exactly the opposite take

1067
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: that a lot of people will have when they look

1068
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,920
Speaker 1: at where Auburn is right now. But Cole, my last question,

1069
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: but before I let you out of here, I know

1070
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: you got to run. Give me two teams, if you

1071
00:51:29,160 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: don't mind, from national landscape, from across the country outside

1072
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: of Alabama and Georgia that you think would have a

1073
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:40,799
Speaker 1: chance to beat either Alabama or Georgia. Ohio State would

1074
00:51:40,800 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 1: be one of those teams just because of the offense

1075
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: I think they'd be able to generate. It's has nothing

1076
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 1: to do with their defense. I think the offensive line

1077
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: has gotten a little bit better across the course of

1078
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,360
Speaker 1: the season. I just think that they would potentially be

1079
00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:55,040
Speaker 1: able to go out there and score and be able

1080
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,080
Speaker 1: to find a way to beat those to beat those teams,

1081
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 1: and I'd probably say the same. I'm a more wait

1082
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: and see on this one, but Oklahoma would be the

1083
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: other one. Since they've made the change at quarterback, it

1084
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: looks like it's supposed to look, and it's gotten a

1085
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 1: little bit better now. They're still beat up in some

1086
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:14,520
Speaker 1: areas that I wish they were healthy, and the offensive

1087
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 1: line and Bill beaton bow still hasn't really come around

1088
00:52:16,640 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: the way that I thought it would this year, but

1089
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,839
Speaker 1: they are now dynamic at the position that they have

1090
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: to be dynamic in, and those will be the two

1091
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: teams that I think on that stage possibly could to

1092
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 1: be able to go out and get in. And it's

1093
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 1: only because the confidence in their ability to score true.

1094
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: And you know, everybody talks about the past with Lincoln

1095
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: Riley and don't realize how everything at a lot of

1096
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: what he does is predicated off the run game, especially

1097
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 1: the gap scheme run game. They do play action power

1098
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 1: off to power about as good as anybody, and he

1099
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: always has And now that you've got a quarterback that

1100
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,319
Speaker 1: can run, I think that's kind of eased a little

1101
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 1: bit of their run game as well. But Cole, it's

1102
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,719
Speaker 1: always great to have you on my friend. I appreciate it. Thanks, man,

1103
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: appreciate it. We'll do it against you, all right, talk soon.

1104
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:58,399
Speaker 1: Cole Cuba fan always great, a real one. Yeah guy,

1105
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:00,600
Speaker 1: either know it or you don't. Colon knows and he

1106
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 1: brings up some great points to the Georgia State points.

1107
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: A great point. But let's get to the Booster club. Yeah,

1108
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: we have a two dollars sixty nine donation. See what

1109
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: you did there, Eric, And he said, how bad will

1110
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: the Ducks beat UCLA this weekend? You know? Look, I

1111
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: like Oregon this weekend. I do. You're coming off a

1112
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: game against Cal. You didn't play great. Losing Verdell hurts

1113
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: anytime you lose because he was their witch. You know,

1114
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,239
Speaker 1: he really was sej Verdell was and they lost him.

1115
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: But they have some other guys that are starting to

1116
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 1: figure it out. You know, the quarterbacks dynamic. He's able

1117
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,399
Speaker 1: to extend play as we talked about extending plays here,

1118
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 1: the zone read games, reel, the quarterback run game there

1119
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:43,880
Speaker 1: is real. And I'm just not sold still on UCLA offensively.

1120
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: You know the Dorian kid at quarterback. I don't trust him.

1121
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: I don't trust him in Oregon does a really good

1122
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: job in a Mario Christbaul does a really good job

1123
00:53:52,360 --> 00:53:54,879
Speaker 1: of either coming off a loss of when they don't

1124
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: play well, they tend to play well the next couple

1125
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: of weeks. And that shows you kind of his grip

1126
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,960
Speaker 1: on that team, kind of the culture's grip on that team.

1127
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 1: So I think Oregon is gonna go beat UCLA, get

1128
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of momentum. And look, I love talking

1129
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,319
Speaker 1: PAC twelve and this, that and the other. You just

1130
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: gotta give us some something to talk about, you know,

1131
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: you gotta give us something to talk about. I'm not

1132
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm not going to sit up here and talk about

1133
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: Oregon State for no reason. I'm not gonna talk about

1134
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: Washington State for no reason. But right now, Oregan has

1135
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: been the flagship USC is looking for a head coach.

1136
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: Usayla has had somewhat of resurgence under Chip Kelly, and

1137
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:30,239
Speaker 1: they returned a lot, spanked LSU the first week. But

1138
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:34,839
Speaker 1: I like Oregon under the radar this week against UCLA. Eric,

1139
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 1: and I appreciate the donation all two dollars and sixty

1140
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: nine cents. Absolutely, you got a question here from Grant Brown,

1141
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: how big of an impact does it make? That is

1142
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: the first time some players are playing in full away

1143
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: game stadiums. Oh well, it makes a huge impact. I

1144
00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: mean if you're a guy that hasn't experienced it. Now,

1145
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 1: now there's guys that you know have been here a

1146
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,680
Speaker 1: while and the COVID year was kind of an anomaly

1147
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: and they're used to the stands being like this. But

1148
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: imagine if you're a freshman, a true freshman coming in

1149
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: last year, or a redshirt freshman or a transfer that

1150
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:08,799
Speaker 1: hasn't played, because look, it's different when you're on the

1151
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:11,960
Speaker 1: sideline in uniform and it's loud, and then you're playing

1152
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: and it's loud. It's a totally totally different thing. So

1153
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: to me, if I'm a freshman going on the road,

1154
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: you saw a little bit, you know Bammitt Florida, a

1155
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: little bit with some of the new guys Bamitta, and

1156
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: then with some of the news guys. But across the

1157
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,240
Speaker 1: college football landscape, you are seeing some teams go into

1158
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: places that have young guys at important positions, whether it's

1159
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: it's your starting corners, your field corner, he's your boundary corner,

1160
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: or whatever having a little bit of trouble, and more

1161
00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: of it is offensively with the procedure penalties and stuff

1162
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,200
Speaker 1: like that. Young offensive lineman. You saw Texas young offensive

1163
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 1: Texas A and M's young offensive line struggle a little

1164
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,560
Speaker 1: bit early with the noise and making sure everything was flowing.

1165
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: You have your false starts on this, that and the other.

1166
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: So it's huge. Anytime you are you are messing with

1167
00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: the communication of players, multiple players, and players at multiple

1168
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: important positions, it's going to have an overall effect on

1169
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: the game. So it's a great question. Yeah, I got

1170
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 1: a questionnaire from QOF and he says, first of all,

1171
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: what's up, Jay boy, what's up? And he says, well,

1172
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:12,480
Speaker 1: Tank Biggs be finished his career as a better running

1173
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 1: back than old Trey Mason. I think so, um, you

1174
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: know now, I think Tank's going to be gone after

1175
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,800
Speaker 1: his junior year. I think he's gonna be one of

1176
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: the first backs tanking taken. I still think, you know,

1177
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: something's I don't know if his hips one hundred percent

1178
00:56:26,760 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: sums a little bit nicked with him. You can tell

1179
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: not that he's shying away from contact, but just the

1180
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,400
Speaker 1: big runs and Auburn's offensive line hasn't opened up a

1181
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: ton of holes for him and stuff like that. So

1182
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: when you watch. You've got to use every circumstance that

1183
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: you have. How good is your offensive line, the players

1184
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: around him, the system, how does it fit? You know,

1185
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 1: with Nick Marshall, you had to run it a lot

1186
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 1: more than you had to throw it. Even though you

1187
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:52,720
Speaker 1: did your RPOs and stuff like that. That was basically

1188
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 1: the offense and you were you were running to be

1189
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 1: able to throw a couple passes and take a couple

1190
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: shots a game, because that's what Nick Marsha was. Imagine

1191
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: if you had Taint Biggsby with Nick Marshall running what

1192
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: they were running. So I think he will. Now if

1193
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 1: you're looking at pure yardage and the amount of ground

1194
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: that was covered, I don't know if he'll have as

1195
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,759
Speaker 1: much as Tray, but from an ability standpoint, from an

1196
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: explosive play standpoint, from having a huge effect not only

1197
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 1: on the game as it goes, but the game is

1198
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: it's planned. Tank Biggsby has just bigger than where Just

1199
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: my boy Kenny irons rink on that. Kenny's up there.

1200
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 1: I love Kenny. Kenny was a dog. Kenny went down

1201
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: to LSU and before the game, looked at the Cameron

1202
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: said I'm going for two hundred and went for two twenty.

1203
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: We gotta get Kenny in here. We gotta get Kenny.

1204
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:37,920
Speaker 1: I saw him at this There was this dinner thing

1205
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: that I went to and he was there and it

1206
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: was a great catching up. But I'm shouted at you

1207
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Kenny's just a good guy. David too.

1208
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: David was a heck of a player. He a yeah,

1209
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: for sure. And I think the kind with that Nick

1210
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,760
Speaker 1: Marshall and that offense was so nuanced. It was it

1211
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:54,960
Speaker 1: was kind of newest, you know, So it's a lot more,

1212
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: a lot more. Availability got a question from Mike and

1213
00:57:58,400 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: Mary Hagger was Mike in Astag asked, Jay, Boy, do

1214
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: you think the NLI money will get to the point

1215
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,760
Speaker 1: where college athletes might stay in school that extra year

1216
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:11,479
Speaker 1: instead of going to the NFL. You know, I think

1217
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: that's a great question. I think what you're gonna see

1218
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:18,480
Speaker 1: in that circumstance is when people get that draft grade back,

1219
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,920
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a higher standard for me

1220
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: going like if all right, well, you know I went

1221
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: from a third round to a midsecond round. Now you know,

1222
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't have a chance to make any money while

1223
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm here in college, So I'm gonna go ahead and go.

1224
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 1: Now you come back and say, wait a minute, I'm

1225
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:35,960
Speaker 1: talking out back Stakhals, I'm talking to mine Key, I'm

1226
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: talking to you know, Monster jobs dot Com or whatever

1227
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: it is. And I'm gonna be a midsecond rounder. No,

1228
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna come back and then try and

1229
00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: improve my grade. I think that's where you're going to

1230
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: see the difference because again, you will have guys too,

1231
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: now that kind of come out of nowhere their junior

1232
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: year or maybe the Richard sophomore year that before the

1233
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,240
Speaker 1: season maybe didn't have a ton of NIL deals, but

1234
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: come on the scene and make a splash and scouts

1235
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: are like wow, and they're like, we got to consider

1236
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: this guy. And you see those guys leaving. But you

1237
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: always have that. But I think the standard to leave

1238
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 1: now within IL will get I guess you could say

1239
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: higher but lower in the in the draft ships if

1240
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: that makes sense to when you leave it to get

1241
00:59:16,440 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: offset with like insurance policies, right. I remember when I

1242
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:20,920
Speaker 1: was at Michigan and Chad Henny was going through this

1243
00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: trying to decide if he was going to leave after

1244
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,400
Speaker 1: junior year. You can pay those insurance premiums, right, But

1245
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: this is such a better way to do that in

1246
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: terms of getting paid for something and waiting for that

1247
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: high high drafts. Yeah, and it's legal, you know. And

1248
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 1: and you know. The cool thing too is they're making

1249
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: relationships that are gonna last them for a long time

1250
00:59:39,800 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: if they if they play work, yes, they play right.

1251
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: If it doesn't work out in the NFL, I'm just

1252
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: telling you there's so many good doors that it opens up.

1253
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: But that's a great question by Mike and Mary there,

1254
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 1: because that's a real thing. Let's go one more. We're

1255
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna get twenty. Okay, a couple of things here. Put

1256
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: out a poll. Is outback Steakhouse top tier to the Boosters,

1257
00:59:55,840 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: want to find it out the words in forty seven

1258
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: though it's tied. I need to get the Booster Club

1259
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: some of their honey mustard because wow, see, I'll got

1260
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,160
Speaker 1: me thinking about blooming onions now, see like to me,

1261
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: the blooming onion in that sauce, it hits, it hits

1262
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:20,280
Speaker 1: like each row. I just don't. We got a three

1263
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:26,840
Speaker 1: dollars thirty three cent donation three thirty three from the

1264
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: one and only convicted hearsonist. That's a great name, what

1265
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:35,480
Speaker 1: a beautiful name. What's the toughest stadium that you've catched him?

1266
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: I know the answer. Well, you know, you got to

1267
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: separate cool from toughest. It was cool when we went

1268
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: out uh and and played at Navy, like in Annapolis,

1269
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: like that whole situation, like just the way it is

1270
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: with them, the way they walk out in uniform, the

1271
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 1: way it's just is different, you know, the campus and

1272
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:02,480
Speaker 1: seeing that stuff. That was the coolest, the hardest or

1273
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: the loudest was Kneelan, I mean, Niel was It was rock.

1274
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, we had to like put our hands

1275
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: over the helmet holes on the side and scream at

1276
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: people right next to us for them to hear. And

1277
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: the ground moves. Like that's the thing, the ground moves.

1278
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: But you get done coaching in there and like your

1279
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: voice is just gone. But the weirdest one and I

1280
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: will continue to say this the Nebraska game at Nebraska

1281
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: because it was just reverse psychology all the and people

1282
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 1: had told me that, like Buddy's mind that a coacher said, listen,

1283
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: when y'all pull up, it's gonna be different than like

1284
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 1: you used to people flicking you off and telling you

1285
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: you suck, and like you guys are gonna lose and

1286
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 1: you know this, that and the other. You get off

1287
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 1: the bus at Nebraska and all the Nebraska pans are like, hey, guys,

1288
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:50,720
Speaker 1: good luck today. Really oh they're like good luck, They're

1289
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:53,360
Speaker 1: like glad the hope you guys traveled. Say like I'm

1290
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: looking around, like looking about guys like nah, that scares me. Yeah,

1291
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm looking at our players like they real they really

1292
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 1: hate you though, like, don't fall for it, no joke,

1293
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna it's just weird, you know. We're out there

1294
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: and they had this is when Riley was still there

1295
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: and they had the Bone Yard like the DJ and

1296
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 1: then playing and we went out and typically it's like boo,

1297
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: you know boo, and they were clapping and like looking

1298
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: at us, like giving us thumbs up, and I was

1299
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:18,560
Speaker 1: just looking around. I was like, I don't like this

1300
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: at all. Propaganda. Yeah, it's like I don't like, like,

1301
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: I don't believe you. And then at halftime, and we

1302
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: didn't play beary well the first half, but at halftime,

1303
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,040
Speaker 1: we're down like fifteen or somewhere around there, and we're

1304
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 1: going in and it's just lined up when Nebraska fans

1305
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: by the gate. We're running in and They're like, you

1306
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: guys can do it in the second half. And I'm

1307
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: trying to get my guys pissed off about and I

1308
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: can't like you hear how much how respectful they already

1309
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: all you hear how how much courtesy they're showing you

1310
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: right now. It's disgusting to me. It's an illusion. That's

1311
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: It's like, it's like job off forested development. His dad's like,

1312
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't want any more of your magic tricks. He's like, illusions, father,

1313
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,920
Speaker 1: They're illusions. That's what it was. It was just the

1314
01:02:58,040 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 1: most interesting thing I've ever seen in my life. And

1315
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: they told me about it, but it's just reverse I

1316
01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: swear it was reverse psychology. You know. That's like Iowa

1317
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:06,920
Speaker 1: with the pink locker rooms. We went to Iowa to

1318
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: the pink game and they and they were like, man,

1319
01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: you gotta watch out for Iowan the pink I'm like,

1320
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: these are the biggest locker rooms of getting a waste hair.

1321
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Like Northwestern we're three to a locker locker. The visitor

1322
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: locker room at Tennessee is just like an there's like

1323
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 1: an ice chest and a little room. They're like, I

1324
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know, y'all, figure I know, and I'm like, man,

1325
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,000
Speaker 1: paying them pink all day, they keep the equipment and

1326
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: it is better than than what the visitor, and you

1327
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:35,800
Speaker 1: know what that's that's how it is. And you kind

1328
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:37,760
Speaker 1: of like it like that, And from a coach at point,

1329
01:03:37,760 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: you're like, look at what they've given us, look at

1330
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: the disrespect. Then Nebraska guy comes up, He's like, hey,

1331
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: you want some vitamin water? Can we get you guys? Anything?

1332
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Is there anything we got? Barry Switzers about a coming

1333
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: here and give you all pregame speech. He's gonna do

1334
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: it himself. Dud, dude. I will tell you this though.

1335
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I will tell you this. Downtown Lincoln pretty sick? Is

1337
01:04:01,480 --> 01:04:02,680
Speaker 1: I was there, see, and that was a cool thing.

1338
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:03,960
Speaker 1: Like the younger coaches. You don't go out and do

1339
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: anything crazy, but you go, you know, Friday night, may

Speaker 1: hang out, have a beer or two, talk about the game.

1341
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: There was this cigar bar down there. You know. It

1342
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: was just a cool situation. And nobody was meaning to

1343
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: us like we had somebod story of them, like, hey,

1344

1359
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,240
Speaker 1: Week is when we go over a problem in coaching

1360
01:04:57,600 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: or a decision that you really got to think about.

1361
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: It's a true pickle. And this one is Dino Babers

1362
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,960
Speaker 1: and Syracuse. Okay, let's set the scene. You're playing Clemson,

1363
01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 1: You're down by three, been a hard fought back and

1364
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: fourth game you gotta at home. You got a good kicker,

1365
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: solid kicker. It's a forty eight yard field goal under

1366
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: a minute, forty eight yard field goal, and it's fourth

1367
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: and one. Do you try and make it a shorter

1368
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: field goal by going for it, or do you say, well,

1369
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm afraid we're not going to get it if we

1370
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: do go for it, and then we don't even have

1371
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: a chance to tie it or potentially go in and

1372
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: score potentially a touchdown. But we also there's a caveat.

1373
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: He also took a time out on fourth and one

1374
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,120
Speaker 1: to make the decision to kick the field goal. Here's

1375
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: where I sit on this, because when you when you

1376
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 1: when when you look or here's where I stand. When

1377
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: you look at the situation, you have to look at

1378
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 1: your personnel always. Always. You're down by three, so a

1379
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 1: field goal ties it touchdown went It's pretty simple, right.

1380
01:05:56,760 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 1: You have a monster at quarterback, Sarah acuses quarterback is huge,

1381
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: like Jack and the beanstalk's worried about him huge. You've

1382
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: run a lot of quarterback draws, our quarterback sneaks during

1383
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: the game. He's had success, He's been able to fall forward.

1384
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Clemson's a little banged up on defense. You called the

1385
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,479
Speaker 1: time out to me even though you have a solid kicker,

1386
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,160
Speaker 1: you have an NFL running back as well. That kid

1387
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 1: is one of the best running backs in the country.

1388
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: I mean he went over like one hundred and thirty

1389
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: yards I think by the halfway through the second quarter,

1390
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: and your offensive line hasn't been horrible really at all.

1391
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: But to me, it falls more into having the big

1392
01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: quarterback and saying, guys, listen, if we can't get one

1393
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: yard and there's a little bit less than a minute

1394
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: to play to make this a shorter field goal to

1395
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 1: tie it, we don't deserve to win the game. Syracuse

1396
01:06:46,200 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: is built more to get one yard from a quarterback run.

1397
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Then you have to get in some crazy formation and

1398
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,040
Speaker 1: find a way and scheme away to steal a yard

1399
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: and a half away from Clemson's defense. To me, because

1400
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: of the personnel you have and you're you know, you're

1401
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: not that you're playing with house money, but nobody really

1402
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: expects Syracuse to you are what thirteen and a half

1403
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: point dog at home. To me, you go for that,

1404
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: You make it closer, and now hindsight's always twenty twenty.

1405
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 1: They make the field goal, you can say, wow, it's

1406
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: a great choice. They didn't risk it But to me,

1407
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: you're the dog. You're at home, and you've had success

1408
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 1: in short yardage with Lurch at quarterback. He's huge and

1409
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: can move and with shaking off tackles the whole game.

1410
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 1: To me, you call a time out to get yourself

1411
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: in a play and it doesn't have to be an

1412
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: exotic play to be able to get that yardage. Would

1413
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: your decision be different if they were only down by

1414
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: two and the field goal puts you up instead of

1415
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 1: instead of time, no, gotcha, No, Because to me, you

1416
01:07:54,200 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: know you're trying to extend the game to win the

1417
01:07:56,160 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: game anyway and over time. So it almost makes it

1418
01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: even more of, hey, let's go for this because if

1419
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,000
Speaker 1: we get this thing close enough, we are going to win.

1420
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, But nothing is too If you're going

1421
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: to kick the field goal, don't call the time out.

1422
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: Now you've given Clemson time if you make it in

1423
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,559
Speaker 1: a tie game to run a couple plays and kick

1424
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,839
Speaker 1: a field goal to beat you. And they have athletes

1425
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: that are good enough to go up and get one

1426
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 1: or get a pass interference or do this sound the

1427
01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,719
Speaker 1: other So it was kind of bungled on both sides.

1428
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 1: But if you're down too, are down three. I think

1429
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 1: you try and get the one and you know what

1430
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: if you don't get the one yard. If you don't

1431
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: get the one yard, the players can look at you.

1432
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: You can look at the players say well we went down,

1433
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 1: Well we went down swinging. I went down because I

1434
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: was confident in y'all, because a forty a yard field goal,

1435
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: and I know, guys make it look pretty easy nowadays,

1436
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,360
Speaker 1: that's not an easy kick. I don't care if it's

1437
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: indoors or outdoors, or how solid the kicker is. That's

1438
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 1: not a guarantee. Bandy Stretch the imagine nation, because think

1439
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 1: about it. You go for it, you get it, you

1440
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 1: line up, you either spike it or you get it

1441
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: to a thirty five yard field goal or a forty

1442
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:10,760
Speaker 1: two yard field goal. Your margin for error is so

1443
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 1: much different. And you get that first down. Now I

1444
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,280
Speaker 1: can control what hash the balls on. Where does my

1445
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: kicker feel the most comfortable at from forty he likes

1446
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:26,719
Speaker 1: it right middle, that's his honeyhole. All right, Well, time's

1447
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: running down. We got a time out. We'll run power

1448
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: to the right side, get it put on the right

1449
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,240
Speaker 1: hash or the right middle. Here you go thirty six

1450
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,680
Speaker 1: yard field goal to win the game, thirty six yard

1451
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 1: field goal to tie the game. I just felt like

1452
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: you took the most unnecessary risk out of both of

1453
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: the risks, because there's risk and everything. This is the

1454
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: type of thing is what has the game been like? Yeah?

1455
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,640
Speaker 1: What has the line of scrimmage been like? In And

1456
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: I'll pulled it up because I wanted to see so circus.

1457
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: You're two for two already on four towns. So good,

1458
01:09:58,960 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: all right. You're averaging five and a half a carry,

1459
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 1: five and a half a carry, so you're getting more

1460
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 1: than four yards than what you need right now. And

1461
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: you were beating Clemson between the tackles. Yeah. Right. If

1462
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: the games like that and the momentums like that, and

1463
01:10:16,560 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 1: you're somewhat winning up front, you don't put your kicker

1464
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 1: up there to make a forty eight yard and you

1465
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: put it on your offensive line, in your quarterback and

1466
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:28,120
Speaker 1: your running back who's been doing it the whole game. True,

1467
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: you gotta dance with the one that brought you to me,

1468
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: and that's our Wickles Pickle of the week. Check out

1469
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: Wickles Pickles. It is so good. Everything Dell Pickles even good.

1470
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: I don't even like Dell pickles from disclosure. But I

1471
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: will destroy the Wickles deal pickles. It's a little bit different.

1472
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: Dilly dilly anyway. Anyway, speaking of Dilly Dilly, you want

1473
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 1: to bring Tony Barnhart in here, Let's bring let's bring

1474
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: mister college football in here to round this bad boy out,

1475
01:10:55,320 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: all right, everybody, one of our favorite guests to bring

1476
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: in here to talk some college football, mister college football himself.

1477
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:03,280
Speaker 1: You can see them all over the culturtball landscape. I'm

1478
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 1: gonna let him plug it at the end, Tony Barnhardt, Tony,

1479
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: good to have you back in man. Jake is always

1480
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,680
Speaker 1: good to be with you, for sure. And I just

1481
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,719
Speaker 1: want to start out kind of generic, you know, looking

1482
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,479
Speaker 1: around the Southeastern Conference, starting with the East, is this

1483
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: the year for Georgia, Tony? I mean you look at

1484
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: you look at everything else, and it's all circumstantial. You

1485
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:23,640
Speaker 1: gotta look at the team and then the surroundings. I

1486
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: don't think george has been in a better spot to

1487
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: win the whole thing than they are right now. Yeah,

1488
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: I would agree with that. I think Georgia is without

1489
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:34,160
Speaker 1: question the most complete team that i've seen. Kick on

1490
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:36,599
Speaker 1: that that they're playing better on the offensive side of all.

1491
01:11:36,680 --> 01:11:39,960
Speaker 1: The defense, you know is generation one of the best

1492
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 1: George has ever had. And so yeah, this is the

1493
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:46,760
Speaker 1: all the stars are lined up. They've got the opportunity.

1494
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 1: But you know, everybody understands there's a bunch of games

1495
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: still enough to play, and there's always a possibility that

1496
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 1: at Alabama is going to be waiting in Atlanta, and

1497
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: that has a whole other set of issues they've got

1498
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: to deal. Yeah, well, you know with JT. Do you

1499
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: think there's a timeline? I mean, is it by the

1500
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: Florida game? Is is there a point of no return

1501
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 1: with j T? Daniels If you're Georgia, I think it's

1502
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,600
Speaker 1: the best way to put it. Well, I think the

1503
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 1: best way to put it now, Jake, is that Stetson

1504
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Bennett has done nothing that would constitute him losing the job.

1505
01:12:18,439 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, he's playing at a very high level. He's

1506
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 1: so much better now than he was before. Now, Kirby

1507
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: has not told as Tony I told me this, and

1508
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's told anybody this way to me.

1509
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 1: At this point. You stick with steps and Bennett as

1510
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 1: long as he's leading this team, and the players obviously

1511
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: respond to him. He played great against Kentucky the other day.

1512
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: I was there, and so I think it's as on

1513
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: a on a D basis, and George has got a

1514
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,160
Speaker 1: hot hand, right they do. And I'm with you, you know,

1515
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:53,599
Speaker 1: you look the chemistry. The team seems to be winning

1516
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: the way that they want to win every week that

1517
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: they play, and Tony staying with the East one where

1518
01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,559
Speaker 1: they're looking at what Stoops done at Kentucky. You look

1519
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: at the rest of the schedule they handle business. The

1520
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks they're staring eleven and one down

1521
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: the barrel. It's one of the best coaching jobs I've

1522
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,280
Speaker 1: seen from a three to forty year period. This isn't

1523
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:12,920
Speaker 1: just a one off. Hey came in, inherited a bunch

1524
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 1: of good players and they're playing well. He's really built

1525
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: that place up a little bit, well I did. I

1526
01:13:18,040 --> 01:13:20,519
Speaker 1: did a column last week about that. And the fact

1527
01:13:20,560 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 1: of the matter is after three seasons he started a

1528
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: two and six two and six in the SEC and

1529
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: there were some loud people that wanted him gone, but

1530
01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: Mitch Barnhart said, no, We're sticking with this guy, and no,

1531
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,160
Speaker 1: the plan and plus they invested in the football program

1532
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 1: almost two hundred million dollars in facilities improvements, and so

1533
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 1: they stuck with him, and now he is on a

1534
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 1: role he had the courage to make some offseason changes

1535
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,919
Speaker 1: on his coaching staff and the philosophy and of offense,

1536
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,439
Speaker 1: hiring Lee and Cohen from the Rams and all that

1537
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 1: has paid off. So Kentucky is Kentucky is in a

1538
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: very good situation. Right, Yeah, they are. And again, like

1539
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 1: I said, you look at the rest of that schedule.

1540
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: If they handle business, I don't know how he's not

1541
01:14:06,120 --> 01:14:07,759
Speaker 1: in the running for Coach of the Year now. Obviously

1542
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 1: Kirby smart. They go undefeated, win the whole thing first

1543
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: time since nineteen eighty m must have to give it

1544
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: to him, and it's well deserved. But looking at the West,

1545
01:14:14,720 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: Tonia a little more open than I think a lot

1546
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: of people thought, and where we're at right now when

1547
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 1: you look at Alabama may not be as a lead,

1548
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: especially in that front seven on defense as we've seen

1549
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: in the past. What are your thoughts on the West

1550
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 1: right now? Before we get into some specifics. Well, obviously

1551
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: that was a big win for Texas A and m

1552
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: over Alabama. But now Alabama is awake. Okay, they're awake

1553
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:39,960
Speaker 1: and they're they only have one path to the College

1554
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 1: Football Playoff now, and that's the win the rest of

1555
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: their games and play Georgia and beat Georgia in the

1556
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:51,679
Speaker 1: SEC Championship. Yeah. Yeah, that's how they get to the playoff.

1557
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: And they've proven that once they get there they can

1558
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: absolutely win it up they want. They won it as

1559
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: a four seed in twenty seventeen. Yeah no, And you know,

1560
01:15:01,400 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy when you look at the rest of

1561
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:04,720
Speaker 1: the season. You look at where Auburn is right now,

1562
01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit better than what people thought with

1563
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 1: the personnel they've had. The wide receiver stepped up last

1564
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: week at Arkansas. I want to talk about the new

1565
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: coaches for a second. Let's start with Brian Harson. Your

1566
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on what he's done for the Auburn program. Where

1567
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: they sit right now, still controlling their own destiny, something

1568
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: that you always want to have to further you go

1569
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: into the season. Well, let's look at what Auburn has done.

1570
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 1: They're five and two. They have two losses. One is

1571
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: at Penn State, which is by eight, which is number

1572
01:15:30,960 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: six or seven where the Ladies Poddle is and the

1573
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:37,519
Speaker 1: others to number one clearly the best team in college football.

1574
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,519
Speaker 1: They're five and two, the best of their game. I

1575
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: think they what they hoped was what Brian Harsons hoped

1576
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:47,760
Speaker 1: was was by bringing in Mike Bobo to work with

1577
01:15:47,920 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: bow Knicks, that bow Knicks would become Yeah, steadier, like

1578
01:15:52,439 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: fewer mistakes, like better on the road. Well guess what

1579
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 1: be it? Steadier the best, fewer mistakes and they want

1580
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 1: on the road to Arkansas last week and that was

1581
01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: a huge win for all to go away and beat

1582
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,560
Speaker 1: that team, no doubt. Yeah, well, Tony, it's such a

1583
01:16:07,600 --> 01:16:09,439
Speaker 1: good answer we had, Like the boys and girls cover

1584
01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:11,640
Speaker 1: something here that they're all celebrating the back Listen to

1585
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 1: how great your answers are as they're kicking field goals

1586
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: and throwing footballs around here. One of the one of

1587
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,320
Speaker 1: the cool parts about being here at the College Football

1588
01:16:18,320 --> 01:16:21,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame, but also kind of you know, transitioning

1589
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:23,559
Speaker 1: down toward the middle of the West. You look at Arkansas.

1590
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Sam Pittman, I know he's in year two, has done

1591
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 1: a great job. But let's look at Shane Biemer. You

1592
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: know they snuck one by Vanderbilt. How do you think

1593
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 1: he's done so far? And he didn't inherit much, Tony,

1594
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, from a personnel standpoint,

1595
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 1: maybe the least out of anybody outside of Clark Lee. Well. Yeah,

1596
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: And what we said at the beginning of the season

1597
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 1: was South Carolina's going to be successful under Shane Biemer,

1598
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: but it's not going to be this year. He just

1599
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 1: simply doesn't have the roster. Yeah, Jake, He's got a

1600
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:57,760
Speaker 1: former graduate assistant coach starting quarterback. Okay, Luke Dodi's hurt,

1601
01:16:57,800 --> 01:16:59,800
Speaker 1: he's out for the rest of the year. And he

1602
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 1: got a guy who came to South Carolina to start

1603
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:08,600
Speaker 1: his graduate and graduate degree as a graduate assistant and

1604
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: started his coaching career. Now he's the starting quarterball Okay.

1605
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: That's why that tells you about where their roster. That's

1606
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:16,760
Speaker 1: exactly what I And we've got a kind of a

1607
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:19,799
Speaker 1: Bobby Bouchet situation going on over there. It's it always

1608
01:17:19,800 --> 01:17:21,960
Speaker 1: makes me think about during the movie when Michigan tried

1609
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:24,280
Speaker 1: the Towerboy and he just gets wrecked going across the

1610
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: middle and he's like, he's like sixteen years old. But Tony,

1611
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,439
Speaker 1: Josh Hypel and I know the stuff. At the end

1612
01:17:30,479 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: of the game with Tennessee them throwing trash on the field.

1613
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: It was a horrible look, but he's actually fared a

1614
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:38,560
Speaker 1: little bit better. Not that they've been outstanding running that

1615
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 1: style of offense with the lack of depth personnelas on defense.

1616
01:17:42,240 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on Josh Hypel and Tennessee so far. Well,

1617
01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: we thought going into the year that six and six

1618
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: would be a good year and seven wins would be great,

1619
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: and they're still they're still in position to win six games.

1620
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I thought they played. I thought they played well at

1621
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: home and obviously if well, they had a chance to

1622
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 1: win that football game because of going either way. So

1623
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: I think here's the thing, Jay Tennessee under Josh Hypel

1624
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 1: has now has an identity. We know who they are,

1625
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: we know what they want to do, we know the

1626
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 1: kind of players that they're going to recruit to run

1627
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: that offense, and they seem very comfortable with it and

1628
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 1: Tennessee fans. I was in Knoxville last Monday to speak

1629
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: and the Tennessee fans were so excited about where they're heading.

1630
01:18:25,560 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: And so I think I think Josh Bifel has done

1631
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,800
Speaker 1: a really good job. Yeah, and they need to get

1632
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: that NCAA cloud just out that tell them what it is.

1633
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: The longer it hangs over, people use it in recruiting

1634
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 1: and you really don't get a start from scratch type

1635
01:18:38,160 --> 01:18:40,240
Speaker 1: of situation. But Tony, before I let you plug all

1636
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: your great stuff, Man, when you're looking this season, do

1637
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: you still feel it's Alabama or excuse me, it's Georgia,

1638
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: Abama and then everybody else. Is there a team outside

1639
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: of those two that you think could give them a

1640
01:18:53,479 --> 01:18:56,280
Speaker 1: run for their money? Well, on a good day, Texas

1641
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:59,880
Speaker 1: A and M has a chance to be in that discussion. Obviously,

1642
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,560
Speaker 1: they beat Alabama, they beat them at home, but in

1643
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 1: terms of share talent and they have a lot of

1644
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 1: really good players. I just think Alabama and you those

1645
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: of you who follow recruiting know that Alabama and Georgia

1646
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 1: recruit at a different level than everybody else, partically in

1647
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: the SEC. But on a good day, Texas A and

1648
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: M can be in that conversation. But it's really Georgia

1649
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 1: and Alabama. I agree. I think you're gonna see those

1650
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: two teams probably play, you know, twice. But again, Tony,

1651
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: you look, if Alabama loses to Georgia and that SEC

1652
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,719
Speaker 1: championship and has two losses, it's gonna get really weird

1653
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: here at the end. But tell everybody where they can

1654
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 1: find out your great work. Well, all the stuff that

1655
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 1: we write is on our web. I'm on website with

1656
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:44,040

Speaker 1: I've never ramped up passed anyways. That's neither here. We're there,

1676
01:21:03,920 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: all right, Here's what I got Coastal and app tonight, guys.

1677
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: I've gone back and forth on this. I've thought about this.

1678
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:13,760
Speaker 1: I've thought, you know, about as much as Socrates thought

1679
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: about anything. Aristotle thought about the future nostrodamus. You went

1680
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: more more in depth, though, I went way more in depth,

1681
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,560
Speaker 1: way more in depth. And here's what I've came up with.

1682
01:21:24,720 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: You know, part of me wanted to take the under

1683
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,799
Speaker 1: at sixty one and a half. I had a conversation

1684
01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: with myself and I said, with future Jake, forgive present

1685
01:21:33,680 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 1: Jake for taking the under in this game when I

1686
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: felt like it could get weird. But what do you say?

1687
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 1: He said, No, So future Jake is taking app State

1688
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: Coastal over sixty and a half. I'm feeling thirty four

1689
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: twenty seven. I'm feeling it, which my math is correct

1690
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 1: at sixty one and that's what both those TTPs, aren't

1691
01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 1: they thirty three and a half and something. You're right,

1692
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 1: I'm going over all right, I'm feeling a thirty four

1693
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: thirty one when but thirty four twenty seven will help

1694
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: out Blaine in his sharp. So I hope it's thirty

1695
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:12,080
Speaker 1: four twenty seven, Blae I got won't you know? I

1696
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: already have some action on that. I've been on. Yeah,

1697
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 1: I've been on Coastal since day one, you have. You know,

1698
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 1: back when the program started, I was in the room,

1699
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,640
Speaker 1: you know, and there's a lot of great thoughts and

1700
01:22:23,760 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 1: good ideas going around, So, you know, it feels good

1701
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: to be part of that foundation for that program. I

1702
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:30,760
Speaker 1: heard that. I heard you have a plaque in there

1703
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: in the facility, more than one you were sitting in there.

1704
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 1: If you have a statue that only a certain allow

1705
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: certain people are allowed to see. Yeah, you know, con

1706
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't expect you. But are you gonna get on

1707
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: with your picker? What's the deal? Yeah? So I am so.

1708
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:44,719
Speaker 1: I took a sharp Monday at three and a half

1709
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: coastal coastal, right, and it's up the four and a

1710
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:51,040
Speaker 1: half to see it. Got up and a half, got

1711
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:52,559
Speaker 1: beat down. So my head's in the right place. Here.

1712
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: I look at this game, and other than the sharp,

1713
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of things didn't pop out to me. Yeah,

1714
01:22:57,439 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: all right, but I found it. You found it. I

1715
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: found a golden ticket. You wear this thing. Second quarter

1716
01:23:04,240 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: over he always does this, sixteen and a half over

1717
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: over over right, it's gonna be like this, Okay, I

1718
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:15,560
Speaker 1: can tell you exactly. I can just put it in

1719
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 1: your head right now, in the first quarter, preach, right

1720
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 1: before the end of the first Coastal is going to

1721
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:24,120
Speaker 1: be on APPS twenty twenty five, maybe a seven seven game.

1722
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna get that score within probably the first minute

1723
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,120
Speaker 1: of the second quarter. And then you know, and at

1724
01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: that point, guys, we're just free falling. We're selling. This

1725
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 1: isn't a game you look at and like, you know what, guys,

1726
01:23:36,720 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under. That's what I had to

1727
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,560
Speaker 1: talk to myself. So I got a three and a

1728
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 1: half sharp out there in my today's bet is the

1729
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: over sixteen and a half. Your boy's been hot, We've

1730
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: all been hot. Let's stay you're seventy fifty three, so

1731
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: you're doubling it up tonight. I like, how I know

1732
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: you're Irish? Listen, I expect Apps State at home to

1733
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: get up for this one. Hopefully played better than they

1734
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,200
Speaker 1: did against Louisiana. But if they if their performance is

1735
01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: anything resembles that game, Coastal will ride. Okay, I'm gonna

1736
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,560
Speaker 1: take Coastal first half minus two and a half, so

1737
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff y're seeing can play out. They can

1738
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:11,560
Speaker 1: be up the seven seven all in all this I like,

1739
01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 1: I just need them up by a field goal or

1740
01:24:13,479 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 1: more in the first half. Let's go Coastal. Just to recap,

1741
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: I've got over sixty and a half. Blane's got Coastal

1742
01:24:18,280 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 1: minus three and a half and got down the sharp

1743
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 1: and he's taken second quarter over sixteen and a half.

1744
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: You're taking Coastal to be up by three or more

1745
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:28,599
Speaker 1: by halftime, so you have Coastal minus two and a half.

1746
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: I love the picks, guys, Let's see if we can

1747
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 1: stay hot. Also love winkles as well. A little bit hot,

1748
01:24:33,520 --> 01:24:35,479
Speaker 1: but not hot enough to scare you away from the table.

1749
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: That's why it's good. It's a little, you know, a

1750
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: little bit of dangerous, but also safe in the door.

1751
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, hot enough to get you in the door.

1752
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:44,600
Speaker 1: That's a great way. You're on the list. You're not

1753
