1
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: And welcome back.

2
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Lake Kick is Live. It is Sunday Night, September eleventh,

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: The over Lord twenty twenty two, brought to you by

4
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors. We're marking ourselves safe from sun

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 2: belt Saturday. Don't you wish your programs could do the same?

6
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Or jam Pack High at top a stormy saturated downtown Nashville, Tennessee.

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: One of the most anticipated shows we've ever had. I

8
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 2: have no clue how long we're going tonight, but man,

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: do I have some stuff to say. Ever since this

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 2: plane landed last night and I got back home. Is

11
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: it a renaissance season again? I'm just gonna put it

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,319
Speaker 2: out there for you. We saw it last year, one

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: of the wildest seasons since two thousand and seven that

14
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: this sport had seen. But what were we told the

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 2: casuals once they departed for the offseason, said that'll never

16
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: happen again. You guys aren't going to get that craziness.

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: Did you turn your television on yesterday, folks? Did you

18
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: see those upsets all over the place? Down goes a

19
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: and M down goes Notre Dame, down goes Nebraska, Out

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: goes Scott Frost, Bama survives Texas narrowly. We're talking about

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: all of it tonight. Kentucky and Tennessee got the job done.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,119
Speaker 2: Brigham Young got the job done. I have to now

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,919
Speaker 2: pronounce the acronyms for the university. On the show tonight,

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna tell you where the every given Saturday tour

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 2: is headed in week three, and another special announcement attached

26
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: to that, I got an early best bet on a

27
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: Big Ten team that we're about to move on. We

28
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 2: are so jam packed, and I appreciate you guys. If

29
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,319

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: and Colorado Springs, Colorado. In case you can't tell from yesterday,

33
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 2: I think we have a wild three months ahead. Don't

34
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: miss a show, and make sure your friends know and

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 2: make sure your family knows. If you're kind of turned

36
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: off with the national college football media, or even if

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: you love it and they're just looking for a little

38
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: substitute here and there, this is your college football show.

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: You've been liking our stuff, you've been subscribing to our stuff.

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: I just asked that you do the same. It will

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 2: always be free as long as you do that. Let's

42
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: dive in to tonight's show. I was in Austin, Texas yesterday.

43
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: I've got the sunburned to prove it. The ever Given

44
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: Saturday Tour made a trip to Alabama, Texas. Some questioned

45
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 2: our logic, but we were sound and we got it delivered.

46
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: How can you not be romantic, by the way about

47
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: big noon kickoff? How can you not be when does

48
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: it not deliver for you? We've been to so many

49
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: of those Fox noon kickoffs eleven am local time there

50
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 2: Jesse Colin.

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: Has it ever not delivered?

52
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: It always delivers, and it delivered again yesterday we were there.

53
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: What an atmosphere.

54
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 2: I think the Texas crowd, man, they came through it

55
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 2: was about one hundred and fifteen on that field. It

56
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: was not too far from that in that stadium. They

57
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: brought it. They never got fatigued, they never tired out.

58
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: So I thought that the overall game day atmosphere, it experience,

59
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 2: it delivered. The team on the field did their part.

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: So we're going to dive into it here. I think

61
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: that how you react to this game probably depended a

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: lot on which angle you chose to watch it from.

63
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 2: You see a lot of the build up this show,

64
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: of course, being guilty of it. Included was about how

65
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: big a favorite Alabama was. Nick Saban, as you could

66
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: imagine in the postgame, was not a fan of that.

67
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: In fact, Colin, do we have the picture? I cannot

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: give you credit because I don't know who took this picture.

69
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: But in the post game, I'm in the broom closet

70
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: that Texas calls a visiting media room. You see Aaron

71
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: Suttles there looking sly as always on the front road.

72
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: You see Terry Saban there in the foreground. There's Nick Saban,

73
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: I guess in what we would call the mid ground.

74
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: Look at your boy there in the background. I hate

75
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: that we can't zoom this out a little bit because

76
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: standing just off to stage left my right was Jimmy Sexton,

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: So me and Sexton who just posted up on the

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: wall over there, and Nick Saban's in the middle. I

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: think that could be a Norman Rockwell painting one day,

80
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: I really do. But that was the scene post game.

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: That was after Saban's news conference. What led up to that?

82
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: I think it depends a lot on how you chose to.

83
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Look at it.

84
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: So back to action, you had Alabama closed as over

85
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 2: a three touchdown favorite.

86
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: If you chose to view the game through that lens, then.

87
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Everything was about Alabama not following through on what their

88
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 2: capability was and what you expected. But man, if you

89
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: just viewed it as a football game where it started

90
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: zero zero and all that stuff doesn't matter once they

91
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: kick it off, it was ultra competitive. It turned out that,

92
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: you know, even though there were mistakes on both sides,

93
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: we had a big injury to Quinn youwers that will

94
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: talk about in just a second. If you look at

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 2: the box score, which we're showing, you hear on the screen,

96
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: very evenly played game. So it all depends on how

97
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 2: you looked at it. And I think the angle that

98
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: you chose, the lens that you chose to look at

99
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: this game through, it also determines how much you're willing

100
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: to give credit. Because I look at Alabama and they

101
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: certainly felt well short of my expectation. I had expectation

102
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: for him too. I thought they'd run away with the game.

103
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of apology that I guess I

104
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 2: owe Texas, which I'm about to give him because I'm

105
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: about to credit the program a lot. But also let's

106
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: remember now, Alabama won this game by one point. Alabama

107
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 2: won this game, and it's because of Bryce Young essentially.

108
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 2: When you want to know, if you're new to this

109
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: game and this sport, why people talk about quarterbacks so

110
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: much is because it's that much more an important a

111
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: position than any other person on the field. And even

112
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: in recruiting. You know, I've always thought to myself, if

113
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 2: I started my own recruiting service, I would just value

114
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: five star quarterbacks double or triple what I value other

115
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: five star players. Now, as it stands, that's not the

116
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: way we do it. But that play that we just

117
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: showed you right there, Bryce Young escaping sack and probably

118
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 2: twenty twenty five yard rundown field probably ended up changing

119
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: this game. He's just better than anyone else. He's just

120
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: the best player in college football right now. Easily, well

121
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: I'm not going to say easily, he's the best quarterback

122
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: in college football. If you want to do the whole

123
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 2: positional comparison, which is a waste of time, be my guest.

124
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: He was fifteen of nineteen for one hundred and thirty

125
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: six in the fourth quarter alone. Really when the game

126
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: was decided. It's when most of them are decided. Will Reiker,

127
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: kicker for Alabama, was money, as he has been his

128
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 2: entire career. I thought Jalen Moody, their linebacker, played an

129
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: incredible game. Terry and Arnold, who I don't think got

130
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: the start at corner. He's a true freshman. I guarantee

131
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 2: he gets to start moving forward. I thought played the

132
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: ball as well in the air as we've seen Bama

133
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: corners playing quite a while. Jamiir Gibbs ended up being

134
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: their best receiver statistically, and that may sound strange to

135
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 2: you because Jamier Gibbs is a starting running back for Alabama.

136
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: He had seventy four yards receiving. The rest of their

137
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 2: wide receiver room had one hundred and nine. So you're

138
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 2: looking right now on the side of the screen at

139
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: Alabama's receiving told us yesterday lt Too came back. He's

140
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: a tight end. Jace McClellan's running back. So you could

141
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: even look at that and you can say, man, Alabama underachief,

142
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: which they did. We're going to address that. But you

143
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: know what had a big impact on that Texas. Texas

144
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 2: had a big impact on that, winning the line of scrimmage,

145
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: especially DL versus O line. Texas had a lot to

146
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: say about that. Crowd noise had a big impact. This

147
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: was one of the first tests for Alabama going out

148
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: on the road since twenty twenty one, when they struggled

149
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: mightily in those environments. Data is incomplete at the very least,

150
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 2: because they looked very suspect a staggering amount of penalties.

151
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: They barely had more first downs than total penalties. Yesterday,

152
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: Will Anderson Saban was asked after the game, what did

153
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: you think? And essentially what he said as well, you know,

154
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: aside from critical penalty after critical penalty, played a really

155
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 2: good game.

156
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true.

157
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: If you could erase those sorts of things, Will Anderson

158
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: did play a really good game.

159
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: It came up with a big sack.

160
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: But I mean, we're watching some very uncharacteristic stuff in

161
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: the b roll from thirty one there in Crimson and White.

162
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: So I looked at Texas yesterday because as I went back,

163
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: I chose to look at the game just through the

164
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: lens of well zero zero started the game. Let's tee

165
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: it up, Let's go Texas. Forced Bama's hand in this game.

166
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: And there's gonna be a lot of ringing of hands

167
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: and gnashing of teeth about play call for Alabama, about

168
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 2: the game plan they had going into this thing, about

169
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: how suspect it was, and a lot of that's valid.

170
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: But I'm going to tell you I think it all

171
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: stems from them getting something from Texas that greatly exceeded

172
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: what they thought they were going to get. I think

173
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: it's very obvious and I suspected this going in that

174
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 2: Nick Saban was keenly aware of the environment. He was

175
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: keenly aware of what the weather was going to be

176
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: like yesterday. And I think they believed that they could

177
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: dictate terms on the ground. They did not have to

178
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: go in and throw the ball all over the place.

179
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: They had a two or three headed monster at running

180
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: back and the offensive line to win on the ground.

181
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: I think they wanted to condense the game. I think

182
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,359
Speaker 2: they wanted to shorten the game, and they failed miserably

183
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 2: in trying to do that.

184
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: They could not run the ball.

185
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 2: McClellan broke a long run and I'm not the kind

186
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: of guy who says if you take away their best play. Otherwise,

187
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: they were average. What I'm saying is, if you're looking

188
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: for consistency on the ground, they didn't really have it.

189
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 2: They didn't have it, and you can tell by the

190
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 2: amount of times that they continued to try and feed

191
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 2: at the gibbs between the tackles and it was not happening.

192
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 2: And all of a sudden when you get to the

193
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: end of the game. I saw college football nerds our buddy,

194
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: I encourage you to check out their channel. By the

195
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: way I saw them tweet out of stat earlier this morning,

196
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: that made a lot of sense. I didn't really I

197
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: didn't really have the number in my head as I

198
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 2: was watching live. But they kept running that play clock down,

199
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 2: and kept running that play clock down, and kept running

200
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: that play clock down. Bama only had nineteen snaps with

201
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: over six seconds to go on the play clock. That

202
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: part's not Texas. That part's Alabama. But I think what

203
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: happened is Bill O'Brien knew his game plan going in

204
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: and Texas kind of stymy is it?

205
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: And they had no answer.

206
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: So you can look at an ultra talented wide receiver

207
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: room and say, I guess the receiver room is just

208
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: all overrated, which I think is the wrong take, or

209
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 2: you can look and say that's more a functionality problem,

210
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,559
Speaker 2: that's more scheme problem, that's more a game plan problem. Now,

211
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: was it an isolated incident or is that going to

212
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 2: be a theme for Alabama moving forward.

213
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: We'll see. But I look and I think a lot

214
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: of credits due to Texas.

215
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 2: I don't want to do the whole participation Trophy thing,

216
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: but I do think a lot of credits do However,

217
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: they fought hard against Oklahoma last year and lost, and

218
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 2: they lost the rest of the season because of it.

219
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: This is a huge, huge inflection point for both these teams.

220
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 2: Really for Texas, it's an inflection point because they went

221
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: toe to toe with the best program in the country.

222
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 2: Whether that's the best team in the country right now

223
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 2: is very much up in the air. I know the

224
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 2: AP dropped into two. We'll see what the JP does

225
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 2: with him Tuesday night. Really irrelevant right now because you

226
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 2: won't have to know how good they are until December.

227
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 2: But in the meantime, Texas went toe to toe with them.

228
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 2: Texas got a taste of what that national spotlight is like.

229
00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: And I don't mean on national TV. I mean everyone

230
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 2: watching expecting you to fail and you didn't fail. You

231
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: lost a game, but you over delivered in many areas

232
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: relative to what people expected from you. What do you

233
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: do with it moving forward? Because Quinn Viewers is out

234
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: four to six weeks. According to Pete Thamil, Hudson Cards

235
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: banged up this status of Hudson card right now. You

236
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: saw him limping around late in the game. Thought he

237
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: played like a warrior when he was in there. You

238
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: saw him he looked worse for where We'll see how

239
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 2: he plays. They got UTSA coming up this Saturday. I

240
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: think the line on that thing's thirteen fourteen somewhere like that.

241
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 2: So it's going to be another competitive game. Does this

242
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 2: game beat them multiple times? Or have you seen a

243
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: change internally? Has the culture changed? Have the dynamic shifted

244
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: to where they use this and they bottle it up

245
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: and it's a springboard and all of a sudden they

246
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: dive into Big twelve play and they're better for having

247
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: gone through what they just went through. We've seen Nick

248
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: Saban teams taste their own blood in the past and

249
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: end up be better for it. Conversely, when you're talking

250
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 2: about Alabama, is that what they do with this one?

251
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 2: Because last year they struggled on the road, and then

252
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 2: struggled a couple more times. And I really wonder when

253
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 2: you look at their road schedule coming up. They got

254
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: a trip to Arkansas, they got a trip to Tennessee,

255
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: they got a trip to LSU, they got a trip.

256
00:11:59,120 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: To Old miss.

257
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 2: Really doesn't get easier on the road for them. Okay,

258
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 2: So this is either going to be an evergreen problem

259
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 2: throughout the entirety of twenty twenty two, or it'll be

260
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: like one of those years in the past where you

261
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 2: see one of those results and then two months down

262
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: the road you're saying, Wow, remember when BAMA struggled at Texas.

263
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 2: Who It's a far craft from what we're seeing from

264
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: this team now. The concern over the wide receiver room

265
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: at Alabama's valid because the numbers back up that it

266
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 2: should be valid. I'm in the opposite camp that I've

267
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 2: heard a lot of people residing in. I don't think

268
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: they lack the skill, I don't think they lacked the personnel,

269
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 2: and in fact, I don't think they lack the top

270
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: end speed there. Kobe Prentice can run, Isaiah Bond can run,

271
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 2: Harold can run. They're not being featured enough and there's

272
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 2: a good reason why they're not being featured enough. So

273
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: I don't pretend to understand the intricacies of their personnel

274
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 2: and what a.

275
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: Guy can and can't be trusted to do.

276
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is that's a developmental problem or a

277
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: scheme problem.

278
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: It's not a personnel problem.

279
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: About ninety eight percent of programs in America would trade

280
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 2: their receiver room for Bama's in a second in terms

281
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 2: of pure skill and talent, So it's not a talent issue.

282
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 2: They got plenty enough capable guys in there. Jacorey Brooks

283
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: is plenty capable enough. Jermaine Burton's plenty capable enough. If

284
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: you can't put him in the right position, if you

285
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 2: can't scheme them open, if you can't develop them six

286
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 2: days of the week to perform on the seventh day

287
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: of the week.

288
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: That's you.

289
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily even pointing out a position coach. I'm

290
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: talking about the offensive coordinator over there as well. So

291
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 2: I think one of the biggest themes to watch moving

292
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: forward this year is you lost the best coordinator you

293
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 2: have ever had in the Nick saban era a couple

294
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: of years ago. You faced him yesterday. He's the head

295
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: coach at Texas. You replaced him with Bill O'Brien last year.

296
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,679
Speaker 2: There were some groans, there were some murmurs, but he

297
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: took you all the way to the National Championship game.

298
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: You had a Heisman Trophy winner at quarterback. Was it

299
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 2: because of one in spite of the other. That's the

300
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: question that Bama fans are still trying.

301
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 1: To wait to see.

302
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: But the quarterback I want to talk about the most

303
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: as we move on from this game is Hudson Card.

304
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: Hudson Card came in yesterday Quinn Hudson Card had a

305
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 2: battle with Quinn Ewers throughout fall camp. Quinn Ewers is

306
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: named the starting quarterback of Texas. I think that was

307
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 2: the right call. Doesn't matter if I don't think it's

308
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: the right call. Quin Ewers went down yesterday. Hudson Card

309
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 2: came in. Hudson Card banged up himself, kept Texas in

310
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 2: the football game. If you talk to folks around the

311
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Texas program, they all love Hudson Card. But anyone who's

312
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: been in competition knows there are first row guys and

313
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: they are fourth row guys. The first row guys are

314
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 2: the alphas, they're the leaders, they're always in the front

315
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: of the line, and the fourth row guys can have

316
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 2: varying degrees of skill set, but they're more comfortable seeking

317
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: back in the pack a little bit. Quinn Ewers is

318
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: a front row guy. The book on Hudson Card is

319
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: he's been a fourth row guy, plenty capable enough, he

320
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: can win you a game, but he's a fourth row guy.

321
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 2: You don't have to always be that way. It's what

322
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: I'm saying, and I am so interested to see how

323
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: quinn Ewers recovers. But in the meantime, how Hudson Card

324
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: uses this yesterday. Because if Hudson Card is able to

325
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: gain confidence from playing in that environment against that team

326
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 2: and playing well enough to win, really, then you could

327
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: see a Stetson Bennett situation there. I don't mean to

328
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 2: correlate it as well. It doesn't matter when quinn Ewers

329
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,239
Speaker 2: comes back, he's not going to start. No, each situation

330
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: is unique. What I'm saying is you don't have to

331
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 2: go back too far to see this.

332
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: Guys. One year ago, JT.

333
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: Daniels goes down for Georgia and they got a backup

334
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 2: who no one myself included, ever expected anything out of

335
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 2: a few months later, he had confetti raining down on top.

336
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Of his head.

337
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: They won a national championship. His name was Stetson Bennett,

338
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: the program was Georgia. Hudson Card has got an opportunity

339
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: right now to lead the Texas program for how long.

340
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: Could be a few weeks, could be a few months.

341
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: That's up to him.

342
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: But man, it's time for him to step up on

343
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: the front row.

344
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 2: Texas needs it more than ever because that's a team that,

345
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: if you have that kind of play at quarterback, can

346
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 2: win the Big Twelve. This year, I thought their defense

347
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: showed they have made leaps and bounds improvement. You've got

348
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: a stud a couple of them really in the backfield.

349
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 2: You've got an offensive line that more than handled themselves yesterday,

350
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: especially in the face of what may be the best

351
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: defensive front they face all year in Hudson Card at

352
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: least hold serve and at most thrive with this opportunity

353
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: he's been given. That's what I look forward to seeing

354
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: with Texas because I think he's got the ability. Academy

355
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors made it possible for us to go

356
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 2: to the Texas Bamma game yesterday. They made it possible

357
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 2: for me to pull a bunch of Academy gift cards

358
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: out of my pocket. They single handedly keep the show

363
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: fold out chairs, those coolers. You probably had shoes on

364
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: you got from Academy. I encourage you, guys strongly, if

365
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,960

378
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: fashioned run ends. Thank you so much. Boy, is the

379
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 2: tone about to change on this show. I'm gonna say

380
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 2: the score to a game, okay, and then let me

381
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 2: take a sip.

382
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need it.

383
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: Hold on Appalachian State seventeen Texas A and M fourteen

384
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: one of the biggest days in the history of the

385
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: Appalachian State program. We talk about winners first on this show.

386
00:17:58,119 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: So A and m' is gonna have to wait just

387
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: a second. Though I know a lot of you are

388
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 2: here to watch what we do with them. It's going

389
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 2: to be an uncomfortable segment because we got some uncomfortable

390
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: things to say.

391
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: But here's the most comfortable thing.

392
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 2: I want you to take a look at some video

393
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: from boone North Carolina yesterday.

394
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: The game was played in College Station.

395
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: Obviously, everyone in boone North Carolina's tuned in app State

396
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: goes into college Station and when despite scoring seventeen points.

397
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: It boggles the mind.

398
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: We'll get to all that in just a second, but Colin,

399
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: do we have the video of the locals once the

400
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 2: upset goes down and all the bars and all the

401
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: restaurants start to spill in all the dorm rooms and

402
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 2: all the apartments and whatnot. What do you do if

403
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 2: you live in Boone, North Carolina and you upset Texas

404
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: A and M, you just spill out onto the street.

405
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: And if you're watching on podcasts, I have to describe

406
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: huge throngs of people about to converge in the middle

407
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 2: of the most busy thoroughfare in downtown Boone, North Carolina,

408
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: not the outskirts downtown. Check out the scene. Can you

409
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: tell the game just ended? Look at this chick in

410
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 2: the middle. Her car gets inundated. Normally you'd worry, mob, Oh,

411
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 2: don't dent in my hood. Nope, she just opens the

412
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: sun roof and she just vibes along with him. This

413
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: is thanks to at kluck Ryan there on Twitter. This

414
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: is like video of the year material. This is certainly

415
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 2: paid state material. And this is what makes college football

416
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,400
Speaker 2: unique and different than anything in the world. And this

417
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 2: is why the mantra around here is every given Saturday,

418
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 2: because you get special stuff like this every given Saturday. Hey,

419
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 2: big congratulations to app State because not only did they

420
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 2: win a game, man, they kind of dominated a game.

421
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 2: And this is where it's gonna get really uncomfortable.

422
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: Okay.

423
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: I wanted to lead this off with given adequate praise

424
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 2: to app State, and I want you to watch this

425
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,400
Speaker 2: video on repeat. If you're watching on YouTube, feel free

426
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 2: to go watch the replay and just loop this. It

427
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 2: will turn any frown upside down. Sincerely, congratulations to app State.

428
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: I now want you to think about going back to Friday,

429
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: and I want you to picture this game. Okay, the

430
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 2: line on the thing was seventeen or eighteen. So if

431
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: I were to tell you app State is only going

432
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: to score seventeen or eighteen, how confident would you have

433
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 2: been that A and M wins and roles? Like, how

434
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 2: much money would you have put on A and M

435
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 2: to win and cover?

436
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: I would have been very aggressive. Let me just put

437
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: it that way.

438
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: That's the first question, how did they win with only

439
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 2: seventeen points? And then the follow up Once you watched

440
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 2: that game, I took it in in the Austin airport

441
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 2: where there were more app State fans than there were

442
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 2: in Boone, North Carolina. By the way, after you watched

443
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: that game yesterday, and there are some jarring numbers on

444
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 2: your screen right now, I'm about to get to so

445
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: please keep this up. For a while. Community, I want

446
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: you to answer me this question, including those of you

447
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 2: in college station, because this is a bitter pill, but

448
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 2: a necessary pill. What would app State's coaching staff do

449
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: with Texas A and M's offensive talent? I think you

450
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 2: know the answer. In fact, I could fill that blank

451
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: in with a number of staffs. What would a number

452
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 2: of stats across America do with the talent roster on

453
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 2: offense that Texas A and M has. This was a

454
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: cataclysmic day for Texas A and M football. As bad

455
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 2: as you think this was for them, it was probably

456
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 2: way worse on so many different levels.

457
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: Padlock stats, you want.

458
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,479
Speaker 2: Them, we got them. Look at the plays, Look at

459
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: the total plays. I could not believe this when I

460
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: went back and checked box scores this morning. App State

461
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: ran eighty two plays yesterday in College Station, Texas.

462
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 1: A and M ran thirty eight.

463
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: And of course that correlates with the time of possession,

464
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 2: which is forty one and a half to eighteen and

465
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: a half. A and M did not pass for one

466
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: hundred yards, They did not rush for one hundred yards.

467
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 2: They had nine first downs to app States twenty two.

468
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,479
Speaker 2: Where isn't the padlock stat Sometimes you may look at

469
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: these scores and you may think, well, A and M

470
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: must turn the ball over seven times, and that's how

471
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: a seventeen to fourteen five final ended up on my screen.

472
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: No, they just got worked. They got physically worked.

473
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: And initially, you know, I look at the seventeen on

474
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: the board for app State and I say, boy, A

475
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: and M's defense really came to play. They didn't. They

476
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 2: really didn't. They got worked too by guys that they

477
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 2: outclass physically so thoroughly. What's the number, Jesse, I mean,

478
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: listen to the disparity in these programs. Okay, amount of

479
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: four and five star players on the rosters. A and

480
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 2: M has fifty six app State had won. I thought

481
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 2: about going to get a jar of M and M's

482
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 2: just to illustrate how wide the gap is between fifty

483
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: six and one. But we're too cheap and we didn't

484
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 2: have a veny machine close enough. By football spending thirty

485
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 2: seven million per year to ten million per year coaching salaries,

486
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 2: about sixteen and a half mil per year to three

487
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 2: mil per year. Average recruiting ranking last five years an

488
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: M seven point six, APP State ninety point six. You

489
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: want to know how you eliminate all those edges. So

490
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: many edges for Texas A and M across the board.

491
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: You eliminate it with a bygone scheme. Scheme at Texas

492
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: A and M has nullified all those talent advantages. It's

493
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 2: not the first time you've seen it happen. It's certainly

494
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 2: the most glaring time that you've seen it happen. They

495
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: tell you, offense is really complicated. It's really hard to understand. Colin,

496
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: could you come full screen to me for just a second.

497
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: We're going to do a masterclass here and it's not

498
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 2: going to take long. They tell you offense is so

499
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 2: difficult to understand. And Jimbo Fisher, he looks like this

500
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 2: on game day. He's got this many pieces of paper

501
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 2: and laminated sheets in front of him. It is not

502
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: hard to understand. I can teach you offense in twenty seconds.

503
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: Watch this.

504
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 2: You see this jug here. Let's pretend that this was

505
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: a jug of milk and you go to the fridge

506
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning and you pull it out and it says

507
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: expired in twenty fourteen.

508
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: What would you do? You would throw this jug of

509
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: milk away?

510
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 2: Jimbo Fisher has been pulling out an offense that expired

511
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: in twenty fourteen for years, and he makes you chug

512
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,719
Speaker 2: it every Saturday, and I've gotten kind of tired of it,

513
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 2: and the folks in College Station have gotten beyond tired

514
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: of it. And yesterday just the latest example of what

515
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: can happen when you have, as we said, five star

516
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 2: talent across the board, yet you don't even come close

517
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 2: to putting them in a college football game in a

518
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: position where they can win or whether they can even

519
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: maximize their potential.

520
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: And you've watched an M for a while now.

521
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 2: Now, I was willing to give benefit of doubt back

522
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: in the spring because Jimbo Fisher said the right things

523
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,439
Speaker 2: in the spring, like they were woeful, they were terrible

524
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: last year. Bud puts the stat out all the time.

525
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 2: They were like ninetieth in the country in past plays

526
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,919
Speaker 2: of twenty yards or more. Just tear. It's unacceptable for

527
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. Jimbo Fisher talked about in the spring,

528
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 2: how it's a point of emphasis for our program. We've

529
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 2: got to evolve, We've got to adapt offensively. We've got

530
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:50,479
Speaker 2: to push the ball down the field. We know this,

531
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: we know this, we know this. I interviewed him twice.

532
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: We sat down with him, said the same thing. Okay,

533
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 2: so I'm willing to give him benefit of the doubt.

534
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 1: Has anything changed?

535
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: Have you've seen anything that's changed. I keep hearing people

536
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: after this laws say, boy, Connor Wegman's got to be

537
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 2: put in at quarterback. It doesn't matter. Look, look the

538
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 2: jug says expired in twenty fourteen. It's old. It doesn't

539
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: work for you anymore. It doesn't matter if I put

540
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: a new label on it. It's still the same product.

541
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: It's still the same old, expired product. That offense isn't

542
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,439
Speaker 2: radically changing at this point, apparently, regardless of who you

543
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: put at quarterback. They've got to pull the nose up

544
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: on this so quickly. They have no time. They got

545
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: five days now before Miami comes in there. Miami's got

546
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: a better quarterback than they have, and Miami can go

547
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: in there and beat them. The opening line on that

548
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: thing is like four or five and a half an

549
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,719
Speaker 2: m is favored in the game for those interested. But

550
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 2: they've got to pull the nose up on this thing,

551
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 2: and they got to do it quick because the time

552
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 2: for adjustments that's over. Okay, the time for mixing and

553
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: matching is over look at the horror story in future

554
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: tents on your screen right now, and if you're listening

555
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 2: on podcasts, let me spell it out for you. Next

556
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: games on A and M schedule Miami at home, Arkansas

557
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 2: in Dallas, Mississippi State and Startville Bama in Tuscaloosa, South Carolina,

558
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 2: and Colombia, Ole Miss at home, Florida at home at Auburn,

559
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 2: you get UMass and then you end the season with LSU.

560
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 2: You can lose, aside from U Mass, literally every one

561
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 2: of those games. Now, the good news is you could

562
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: also win most every one of them.

563
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: Do you know how quickly this can go sideways?

564
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,879
Speaker 2: Do you understand how little patience that freshman class, the

565
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 2: highest rated recruiting.

566
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: Class of all time.

567
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: Do you understand how little patients they'll have. They're not

568
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 2: locked into that place. They came there buying into a

569
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 2: vision division that they bought into is a far cry

570
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: from what you saw yesterday. So you can believe that

571
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: everyone's there for the betterment of that A and M

572
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: brand and its brand over self.

573
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: That is not the nil era. It is not.

574
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you guys, And if you want to

575
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: see a locker room, go sideways, lose this Saturday.

576
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: Don't change offensively.

577
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 2: If you want to see a locker room, if you

578
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 2: want to see a program, go sideways. If you want

579
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 2: to see a nose dive, keep doing what you're doing.

580
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: I don't know that anyone can disagree with that. I

581
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 2: hate it, you know, because I have an affinity for

582
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: the A and M program. But my goodness, like I listen,

583
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,000
Speaker 2: I got a little group text with some A and

584
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 2: M buddies. I'm not even mean as harsh as they are.

585
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 2: This is a little bit sanitized relative to what they've

586
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: been saying. Nick Saban dealt with this at Alabama a

587
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: few years ago. Famously, Nick Saban watched his defense get

588
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 2: worked a few times by Next Generation offenses, and he

589
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: pushed the button in Tuscaloose and he made the change,

590
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: and then Alabama went on a run that probably was

591
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: better than what they had gone on to that point.

592
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart may very well be in the process of

593
00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 2: sort of overhauling parts of the Georgia philosophy to be

594
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 2: more not offensive centric, but to have an offense that

595
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: you can have because that these kinds of programs, when

596
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: you can recruit, when you can recruit at the level

597
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 2: that Texas A and M can or Georgia or Bama

598
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 2: or Ohio State. You get to choose what kind of

599
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: offense you run. Who in their right mind would.

600
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: Choose to do this?

601
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 2: Jimbo runs the kind of offense that you should be

602
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: forced to have to run. They have the luxury of

603
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 2: doing anything they want. Saban's doing it any way he wants. Kirby.

604
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 2: They just hung half a million points on Oregon because

605
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: they threw the ball all over the place, because they

606
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: understand the smart ones, the ones that can evolve. It's

607
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 2: not an intelligence thing, it's an adjustment thing. It's a

608
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 2: willingness to adapt. They've got it. Jimbo didn't have it,

609
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: or at least he has not shown that he has it.

610
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 2: You get to do it however you want to. Why

611
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: in the world would you choose to do it this way?

612
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: Here's my point.

613
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 2: Saban and Kirby they made and in Kirby's case, are

614
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 2: making those adjustments, and it did not rip their heart

615
00:28:59,320 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 2: and soul.

616
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: Out costs their defensive guys.

617
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,960
Speaker 2: They may not love the way the game's evolved, but

618
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: they were willing to do it, and all it took

619
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: for them was let me go hire the right offensive coordinator.

620
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: To Jimbo Fisher, do you understand what that means to him?

621
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 2: A lifelong offensive guy, he handles the quarterbacks, he handles

622
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 2: the play calling. That's him on game day, that's his

623
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: m O. If he's not serving that purpose, Jimbo Fisher

624
00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 2: feels lost. And at the crux of it, I don't

625
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 2: think you have to be able to diagram a single

626
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 2: play on a grease board to understand that. That's the

627
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: reason he's been so unwilling to change. It's his program.

628
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 2: He's the head man, and he is afforded, for better

629
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: or for worse, the luxury of dictating which direction they go,

630
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 2: what kind of offense they run. For Kirby Smarter, for

631
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: Nick Saban, it's just as easy as biting the bullet

632
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: and saying, all right, let's change, you know, let's recruit

633
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: a different kind of athlete, let's prioritize different things. Let's

634
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 2: get a different offensive coordinator, and here we'll run on

635
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 2: a different system. If Jimbo does that, he's basically hitting

636
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 2: the flush button on himself.

637
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: What does he do at that point?

638
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: It's not his offense anymore to him, wouldn't even feel

639
00:30:10,320 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 2: like his team anymore. I don't know that he's willing

640
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 2: to make that move. And if he's not willing to

641
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: make that move, I don't really know what the answer

642
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 2: is because he's locked in so long term contractually that

643
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 2: what do you do? Do You just resign yourself to

644
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 2: always being an eight win program, but paying a guy

645
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: eleven win money just cause your A and M I

646
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: don't think so. They got a lot of money. They're

647
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 2: not that dumb. So I I don't know what direction

648
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 2: it's going to go. I mean, Miami goes in there Saturday.

649
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 2: If Miami beats them Saturday, it's already uncomfortable. I don't

650
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 2: know that he can get more uncomfortable. I just I

651
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: have spoken to some people around the program. I am

652
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: telling you that true freshman class is not hanging around

653
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: for this.

654
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: They are not. They're absolutely not.

655
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 2: So it's got to be improved upon, and it's got

656
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: to be improved upon right now. I appreciate you guys

657
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 2: watching live. Since I have my notes all mixed up,

658
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: I've got to make sure I go to the right

659
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: place here Kentucky, Florida. Yeah, let me let me professionally

660
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 2: find it. Colin it's not that one. It's not that one.

661
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 2: It's not that one. It's not that one. It is

662
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: not that one either. It's this one.

663
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: Here we go.

664
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: Okay, they're watching us by the way in Bauford, South Carolina,

665
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: San Antonio, Texas, and Big OL's Wade England is tuned in.

666
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 2: Thank you, guys, especially our friends in Bigglewade. I know

667
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 2: it's been a tough week over there for you. Oh

668
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: what have I done?

669
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: What have I done?

670
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: Okay, let's just there's no easy way to do this.

671
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: Let me just pull the tooth. I have picked Kentucky

672
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 2: to lose football games before, and I've been right. It's

673
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 2: just really hard to remember when it happened. So the

674
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 2: apology Tour, Version twenty twenty two is going to start here.

675
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: Colin.

676
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 2: Just keep it on the keep it on the key shot.

677
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: I didn't tell you I was going to do this,

678
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 2: because I didn't tell anyone I was going to do this.

679
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: But every now and then, I've got to give you

680
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: the most regrets photo op that I know to give you,

681
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: but I deserve it. So here we go. I doubted

682
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: Mark Stoops, I doubted Kentucky, and I've got to apologize

683
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: to them. And if you're listening on podcasts, don't worry,

684
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: a screenshot of this will have long since circulated for

685
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 2: you to see on social media by the time you're

686
00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 2: listening to this. Here we got three second pause. Okay,

687
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: I apologize to Mark Stoops. I doubted his program. I

688
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: doubted the team's ability to go in here. I thought

689
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: if they did, it would well, it would require some

690
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 2: things to go their way. Now, in fairness, things did

691
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: go their way. But that's called football. That's why we

692
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 2: watched the games, that's why we play them. Kentucky fans

693
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: have been very mouthy in my mentions, but they should be.

694
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: I haven't snapped back at a single one of you,

695
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: because you're right.

696
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: You're right.

697
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 2: You went in there again like you seemingly do every year,

698
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: and you beat Florida and you may very well be

699
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: in control for that number two spot in the East.

700
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: And you've got Georgia coming to your bill Way late

701
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: in the year, and we'll just see how that turns out.

702
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 2: But the blueprint for Kentucky to win this game, if

703
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 2: you'll go back to the Tuesday Show. On the Thursday Show,

704
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: needed a couple of dominoes to fall. We needed will

705
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 2: Levis to be the better quarterback in the game, and

706
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: boy he was. And he didn't even need to put

707
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,200
Speaker 2: up all sec numbers to do it. More on that

708
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 2: in a second. And they probably needed to pop a

709
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 2: special team's play or win the turnover battle. They did

710
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: all those things. So Kentucky still didn't run it very well.

711
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: They ran it under.

712
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 2: In fact, they had a worse yards per carrey average

713
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: than they did against Miami Ohio. They ran one point

714
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 2: eight yards per carrie to Florida's four point five. But

715
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 2: man will Levis when he needed to stepped up through it,

716
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 2: two hundred two yards one touchdown. Like I said, not

717
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 2: astronomical numbers, not Heisman numbers, but given the way the

718
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: game flowed and played out, they were good enough numbers.

719
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: This is why when we went back to Week one

720
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 2: and we watched Florida beat Utah, you know, we didn't

721
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 2: bump Florida up over Utah. We didn't bump Florida up

722
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 2: his high. The AP did. And it was because we

723
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 2: try and walk the line of being impressed with guys

724
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 2: like Anthony Richardson in Week one, observing that performance he had,

725
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,680
Speaker 2: but not drawing conclusions. It's hard to do. I can't

726
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 2: even resist it sometimes. But if you were hesitant, then

727
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 2: you were validated in week two. Now, Florida fans should

728
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 2: be happy to be one in one. If I asked

729
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 2: you in August, you take one in one right now.

730
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 2: But once you got to one, to oh nah, because

731
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: that just means you're gonna go oh to one the

732
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 2: next week. But man, it was jarring to watch Anthony

733
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 2: Richardson's performance last night. I was on the flight back

734
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: from Austin, so I watched a majority of this game

735
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: in mid air, which, as you know, is an uncomfortable

736
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 2: position if you're a talker, because you can't make any

737
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,400
Speaker 2: sounds well and be socially acceptable on the plane.

738
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it.

739
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 2: I mean, there was a there was a player, I

740
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: think for the Dodgers back in the day, Steve Sacks, who.

741
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: Just got the yips, couldn't throw the ball accurately.

742
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying we entered Steve Sachs Chuck knoblock

743
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 2: territory last night, But Anthony Richardson had no clue where

744
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: the ball was going at times. Can you imagine being

745
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 2: that way in your backyard, much less in front of

746
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 2: ninety thousand folks, they're still in the game kind of,

747
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: but Kentucky ended up controlling it most of the way.

748
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: Richardson was fourteen of thirty five no touchdowns through two picks.

749
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,280
Speaker 2: He was a non factor running just a totally different

750
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: seemingly a totally different player. Okay, his stat line totally

751
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: different than Week one Florida as a result, four of

752
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: sixteen on third down probably the padlock stat. If you

753
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 2: would have known that Friday, you would have known, ooh man,

754
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 2: unless they probably scored fourteen to seventeen non offensive points.

755
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 2: It's going Kentucky's way this evening. Is this a flaw

756
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 2: or is it something that they can coach around? See,

757
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 2: because I look at Kentucky. One of the best hallmarks

758
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 2: of a great coaching staff is being able to coach

759
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 2: around flaws. Every team's got them, some teams succumb to them,

760
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 2: and then the really really great staffs they don't sink

761
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 2: because of their flaws because they can coach around them.

762
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 2: See a lot of coaching staffs can coach to their strengths.

763
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: The great wins can coach around their flaws. Mark Stoops

764
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: they couldn't run the ball, they cannot.

765
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: Run the ball.

766
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: So far this year they're two to zero because he's

767
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 2: been able to coach and scheme around their flaws. They

768
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 2: play complimentary football, you know, they score defensively. Special teams

769
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: last night actually bit them. But in general, that's a

770
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: really good program in all three phases, and they just

771
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: they're not flashy. But in the end, when they've got

772
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 2: more points on the board than the other team, you

773
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,839
Speaker 2: look and you say, he did it again? How did

774
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: he do it again? And then you see me end

775
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: up holding up signs like this. I am sorry, Mark Stoops,

776
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 2: I am very sorry you noticed to put hugs and

777
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,800
Speaker 2: kisses on there. I think I think that kind of

778
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 2: thing resonates with Mark Stoops. I don't want to look

779
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: ahead too much, but let's look ahead, you know, because

780
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,840
Speaker 2: we're irresponsible around here, So let's look ahead. You know,

781
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: Kentucky plays Youngstown and then they play Northern Illinois. I

782
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 2: expect him to win both those games, at which point

783
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 2: they will be four and oh and do you know

784
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: who they play in Week five?

785
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,240
Speaker 1: Friends? They play Ole Miss, and Ole Miss.

786
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 2: Will probably also be undefeated the every given Saturday tour.

787
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 2: And myself, in general, I have never been to a

788
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: game at Ole Miss. Somehow, I've never been there. I've

789
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 2: driven through Oxford, been on campus when the football game

790
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 2: is not happening.

791
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 1: But just keep that in mind.

792
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 2: Just write that in pencil somewhere. Kentucky isn't an interesting

793
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 2: spot right now, because, like I said, you know, if

794
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 2: you can't run the ball and you don't have Bryce

795
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 2: Young as your quarterback, or you don't have that kind

796
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: of performance, it's hard to win all the games you play.

797
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 2: But think about the language we're using. Think about the

798
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 2: rarefied air we're talking about Kentucky football in if I'm

799
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 2: looking right right now, I never pay attention to the

800
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 2: ap AP's got them top ten. There's Kentucky football, a

801
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 2: football school, football and basketball, Kentucky football sitting there in

802
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 2: the top ten, and we're talking about them in the

803
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 2: same in Vain that we would talk about Florida that

804
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:07,240
Speaker 2: we would talk about Tennessee. It took until yesterday, guys,

805
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,280
Speaker 2: for someone to pass Bear Bryant in the All Time

806
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: Program Wins list.

807
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: There are people watching this show.

808
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: Right now who are totally unaware that Bear Bryant ever

809
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 2: coached at Kentucky. You know him for the what fifteen

810
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 2: twenty some odd years. He coached at Alabama, which you

811
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 2: should he was a Kentucky He was at A and

812
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 2: M in Kentucky before that.

813
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: It's been that long.

814
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 2: A guy that a lot of you aren't even aware

815
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: coached in Kentucky held the all time program wins record

816
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 2: until yesterday when Mark Stupens finally broke it. My point

817
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:42,719
Speaker 2: there is not disparaging in any way. It's actually complementary

818
00:38:42,960 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 2: because that's the lineage of the program. And yet now

819
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,279
Speaker 2: they've inserted themselves into the same kind of conversations you

820
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:55,160
Speaker 2: have about historical powerhouse programs. Tennessee, although it may be

821
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 2: hard to believe if you're eighteen years old, has historically

822
00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 2: been a powerhouse Florida. Historically they've been a powerhouse Kentucky's

823
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: in the language, they're in the conversations, and so hats

824
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 2: off man, Hats off to Mark Stoops. Florida plays USF

825
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 2: this week and then they go to Tennessee. Okay, the

826
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 2: game at Tennessee in two weeks is going to be

827
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 2: an all out knife fight. I don't care that Florida

828
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 2: just lost a game. It's going to be an all

829
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 2: out knife fight. It's going to be about as bright,

830
00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 2: a spotlight that's been on that game in a few years,

831
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 2: and I'm very much looking forward to that one.

832
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: But boy, oh boy, I.

833
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: Look, I scan the DMS, I scanned the emails. I

834
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 2: know what you guys want me to talk about. So

835
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 2: let me let me take another sip of the of

836
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 2: the label less drink here that I have. There was

837
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 2: not a game that I got asked about over the

838
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 2: last twenty four hours more than the one I'm about

839
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,200
Speaker 2: to talk about. Colin, let me make sure I'm on

840
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 2: the right track here.

841
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is it.

842
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 2: It's time.

843
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: Marshall beat Notre Dame yesterday.

844
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 2: Twenty six to twenty one. And boy, when I tell you,

845
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 2: it wasn't even that close, it wasn't that close. It

846
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 2: was the most out of the blue elbow off the

847
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 2: top rope in a crazy week two. I, for the

848
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: life of me, never even paid attention to this game,

849
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,919
Speaker 2: and I'm sure Charles Huff and Marshall wanted it that way.

850
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: But look, let's we talk about.

851
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 2: The winners first. Everybody wants to make a statement. Okay,

852
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,520
Speaker 2: every program, every player, every coach.

853
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: They always ask, how do we make a statement? We're

854
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 1: looking to make a statement. I'm going to tell you

855
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: how to make a statement. Follow Marshall's lead.

856
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 2: Go in to South Bend in the end a Notre

857
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: Dame Stadium, National TV against one of the most story

858
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 2: programs of all time, and just take that Marshall flag

859
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 2: and plan it right there at midfield, and then afterwards

860
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 2: give the following quote courtesy of Marshall head coach Charles

861
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 2: Huff in house and no disrespect to Notre Dame, but

862
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 2: in house we expected it. And you know what, when

863
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 2: you watch the way the game played out and they

864
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 2: knew they had that in house, why wouldn't.

865
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 1: You expect it.

866
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,240
Speaker 2: I'll put it to you another way, courtesy of Irish

867
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,240
Speaker 2: Illustrated dot COM's Tim O'Malley.

868
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: Because he had another really good quote on this thing.

869
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: I saw.

870
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 2: Had the game continued another quarter, Marshall would have won

871
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: by more. They were the better team Saturday, top to bottom.

872
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 2: He's right, that's the most jarring part. Marshall outplayed Notre

873
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 2: Dame across the board. Notre Dame was minus three turnovers.

874
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes when these upsets happened, and you see the favorite

875
00:41:28,719 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 2: was minus in the turnover balltley, you say, oh, okay,

876
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,439
Speaker 2: so that's the way it happened. They put the ball

877
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 2: on the ground. Some fluke plays happened. I cannot stress

878
00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 2: enough if you didn't watch this, there was nothing flukish

879
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: about this. Marshall handled Notre Dame, handled them both lines

880
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, handled them physically, put them on skates right

881
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 2: there in their own building. Notre Dame couldn't run it.

882
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: They hadn't been able to run it all year. They

883
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: have no chemistry in the past game, and that's dueing

884
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 2: large part to a really, really good combo corn that

885
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: Marshall has Again. Charles Huff and his staff knew they

886
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 2: had this. It's just most of us hadn't watched Marshall

887
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: this year.

888
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 1: We've seen him.

889
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: Now, we've seen Marshall now. There is no special talent

890
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: at quarterback at Notre Dame. I saw a Notre Dame

891
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 2: fan put.

892
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 1: It like this.

893
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: You can always count on Notre Dame for some of

894
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 2: the most brilliantly articulated metaphors from the fan base. It was,

895
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 2: and I'm paraphrasing, quarterback recruiting has been a bulldozer coming

896
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 2: at us at two miles an hour for the last

897
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:34,000
Speaker 2: four years. That it finally caught us. And if you

898
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 2: followed Notre Dame recruiting. That is so spot on a

899
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,439
Speaker 2: bulldozer coming at us at two miles an hour. It's

900
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 2: been so evident for so long, and yet here we are.

901
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: And I think Pine had to get put in the

902
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: game yesterday because QB one.

903
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,879
Speaker 1: Got knocked out. Butner is out of the game.

904
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 2: Look, I don't really care moving forward because they're not

905
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 2: dynamic enough at the position. They're like Tim said, there's

906
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 2: no cohesiveness between quarterback and receiver there right now. They've

907
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 2: got an unproven staff. That's the more uncomfortable part. Like

908
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: I was, I mean, I was, I think still at

909
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 2: the stadium yesterday when Tray Scott was texting me about

910
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 2: this game and he said, do you realize Marcus Freeman's

911
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: zero to three at Notre Dame? And it's obvious, I mean,

912
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 2: anyone knows a guy's record, but I hadn't thought about

913
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 2: it like that. You had the bowl game and then

914
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 2: Week one they weren't expected to win against Ohio State.

915
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 2: So the fact that they kept it close. I was

916
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: actually semi inspired by Wolf That's out the door. So

917
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 2: if you had illusions of this team being a college

918
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,919
Speaker 2: football playoff contender, which we didn't some people did.

919
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 1: That's dead.

920
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: Now if you want them to be a double digit

921
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 2: win team, that dream is also essentially dead. Nine wins

922
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 2: probably a huge stretch at this point. The model was

923
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 2: much lower on Notre Dame at the beginning of the season.

924
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 2: As you'll remember, AP had them five, We had them

925
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 2: like fourteenth. It turns out both of them us. We're still

926
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 2: too high on Notre Dame. This is a this is

927
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: a poor team right now, and they've got Cal coming up.

928
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 2: They're favored by I think twelve or thirteen somewhere around there,

929
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 2: but they go to North Carolina in a couple of weeks.

930
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,240
Speaker 2: They've got Brigham Young soon to be known as another

931
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: name later on the show in Vegas later in the year.

932
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 2: And the problem is, in the preseason, there was a

933
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: way in preview magazine time where you can run up

934
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,359
Speaker 2: and down this list and say, boy, outside of Ohio State,

935
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: we should win every one of these games. Well, now

936
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: that you've actually seen the product, there's this other train

937
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 2: of thought that says, I could.

938
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,399
Speaker 1: See I was losing every one of these games. Now's

939
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: the thing you know about Notre Dame.

940
00:44:40,120 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 2: They're not putting fcs teams on that schedule, and although

941
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: UNLV's on there, outside of that, where are the games, Like,

942
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: where do you work on anything? It's not really there,

943
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: is it. So Notre Dame is in a bad way

944
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 2: right now. They're in a bad way. And whereas I'm

945
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 2: normally the one sitting here defending them, and I'm normally

946
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: the one saying, you're being a little bit too harsh

947
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: on them because you've just been born to hate them.

948
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 2: It's gonna be your year. Notre Dame is going to

949
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: nowhere fast. Arkansas South Carolina. Here's an endpoint for you

950
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:15,280
Speaker 2: call them. Arkansas beat South Carolina forty four to thirty yesterday.

951
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: As you heard me talk about last week, we don't

952
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 2: really move on totals very often, but there was an

953
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 2: over that I was supremely confident in the total end.

954
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: This thing was fifty two and a half. I told

955
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 2: you I expected it in the sixties. Wrong, it was

956
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 2: in the seventies. So this was the one that was

957
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,880
Speaker 2: pretty easy to see coming from a totals perspective.

958
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: And Arkansas owned this game.

959
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,959
Speaker 2: Probably more so than the margin of fourteen points would

960
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 2: indicate they won. They covered. I really thought they handled

961
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 2: the game. Even more effectively than this. The fourth quarter

962
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:48,720
Speaker 2: kind of got loose, as these higher scoring fourth quarters

963
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: tend to do.

964
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 1: But Arkansas is a good team. They're a really good team.

965
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 2: Padlockstat you want one, how about two ninety five to forty.

966
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,360
Speaker 2: Those were the rushing yardages respectively between ark Saw in

967
00:46:00,400 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 2: South Carolina. Two ninety five to forty. I think Bama

968
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: ran like sixty three total plays against Texas. Arkansas ran

969
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 2: the ball sixty five times yesterday, sixty five rushing attempts

970
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: in a game, and as you can see, they were

971
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 2: pretty effective. They ran it for nearly three hundred yards.

972
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 2: The yards per carry totals here tell a pretty big story.

973
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 2: Arkansas about four point five per clip, and South Carolina

974
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,719
Speaker 2: could not get the run going at all one point four.

975
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 2: It's a bad offensive line. It's a team that is

976
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 2: very much in a state of flux right now. They

977
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 2: can't get anything offensively started because of that offensive line.

978
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 2: But I want to talk about Arkansas for a second.

979
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: I'll get to South Carolina. This right here, Arkansas, I

980
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:45,399
Speaker 2: think's the third best team in the SEC. I thought

981
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: that for a while. I think a lot of people

982
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,840
Speaker 2: are coming to that realization. A lot of folks expected

983
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 2: them to fall off, and they haven't fallen off because

984
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 2: they more than adequately replenished their roster through the transfer portal.

985
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 2: One example yesterday, whereas in previous year they would have

986
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: had to bite the bullet at a position and this

987
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 2: year they may be better at.

988
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:06,360
Speaker 1: That position is inside.

989
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 2: A linebacker Drew Sanders comes in there from Alabama, they

990
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: shift him inside. All he did yesterday was put up

991
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: eleven tackles, two sacks, three tackles for loss, two forced fumbles,

992
00:47:17,120 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 2: just totally wreck South Carolina, completely took over the game defensively.

993
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 2: They didn't have those kind of players in years past.

994
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 2: They didn't have access to those kind of players in

995
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 2: years past. The transfer portal, combined with the culture they

996
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 2: have that's so attractive up there, has made it such

997
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: that they don't have to settle for falling off at

998
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 2: those positions anymore. Wide receiver, it's a really good position

999
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 2: for them right now. Now they have in current injury

1000
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 2: at defensive back Catalans out for the year. That's a

1001
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 2: huge blow to them. You know what that means. It

1002
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 2: just means they have to score. It means Kendall Brown's

1003
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 2: got to turn it up to eleven he did yesterday.

1004
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 2: I still think their past game can be even better

1005
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 2: than it was yesterday.

1006
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: I just don't think they've had to pull.

1007
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 2: It out yet, but they will. It was imperative. They

1008
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: start to to oho to back up what I'm saying.

1009
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: At least it was absolutely imperative, and they've done it.

1010
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 2: And now you get two of those games on what

1011
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,760
Speaker 2: is still regarded as the toughest schedule in the country

1012
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 2: out of the way, and then you just keep ticking

1013
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 2: them off. Okay, Notice as the season starts to unfold

1014
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 2: and we're out of preview magazine territory. Now you start

1015
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 2: to get the true sense of how winnable games are.

1016
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: Texas A and M Week four seems a little different now,

1017
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: doesn't it. Alabama coming into your building seems a little

1018
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 2: different now, doesn't it. All of a sudden, as you

1019
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 2: get a little deeper into the year, each individual week

1020
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: you can paint a little bit more realistic picture of

1021
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: Arkansas win in the game. And the point is, as

1022
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: it always has been and always will be, you will

1023
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 2: never have to play twelve teams on a Saturday. You

1024
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 2: got to play one of them. And Arkansas is taking

1025
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 2: care of the first two, and they're gonna have a

1026
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 2: shot to beat everyone they play, that includes Bama. When

1027
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,800
Speaker 2: they come in there, there's no team on the schedule

1028
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 2: they can't play. There are multiple teams that can beat them.

1029
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: So it's just one of those week at a time

1030
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:04,520
Speaker 2: sorts of things. With South Carolina. See now they enter territory.

1031
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 2: That was worst case scenario. Well worst case would have

1032
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:11,240
Speaker 2: been losing to Georgia State. And trust me, after yesterday,

1033
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 2: we take nothing for granted in the sport. They beat

1034
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: Georgia State. Okay, they lose in week two yesterday just

1035
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 2: to Arkansas. They got to go home and play Georgia

1036
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 2: and they don't have answers for what George is gonna bring.

1037
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 2: Williams Brice Stadium will be on fire. I have no

1038
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:30,239
Speaker 2: doubt that all the externals that can tilt things in

1039
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:33,080
Speaker 2: their favor will be handled because those folks settle for

1040
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 2: nothing less up there really hard place to go. The

1041
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 2: problem is, it doesn't matter how loud your crowd is

1042
00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 2: if you can't block and you can't give your quarterback time.

1043
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: And right now I think Spencer Rattler, if you're watching him,

1044
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,840
Speaker 2: there's inconsistency. There's overthrows. There's all the things that you

1045
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 2: would attribute to a guy that's new in a program

1046
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 2: and does not have a consistent offensive line in front

1047
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 2: of them. I'll put it a different way. They got

1048
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: a poor offensive line right now, and I think that

1049
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:00,839
Speaker 2: they're gonna have to start mixing and ma there. And

1050
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:02,799
Speaker 2: this is the last time in the world that you

1051
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: want to be doing that during the season. But they

1052
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 2: got no run game, poor offensive line, and they got

1053
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 2: a bunch of teams in front of them that are

1054
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:13,680
Speaker 2: going to be able to exploit that mismatch. And this

1055
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 2: is really quickly where you get into that territory like

1056
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: we talked about in the preseason, where you may feel

1057
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 2: like you've made strides as a program, but you can

1058
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 2: make strides all over the place. If offensive line is

1059
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 2: not one of them. That's one of those places. It's

1060
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,720
Speaker 2: hard to coach around that unless you've got all world

1061
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 2: talent elsewhere, and even sometimes if you do, it's hard

1062
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 2: to coach around an ineffective offensive line. No one's got

1063
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 2: the scheme for that, no one's got the playbook for that,

1064
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 2: And so they're gonna have to They're gonna have to

1065
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 2: find a way. And I don't know what the way.

1066
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,479
Speaker 2: They're gonna have to find a way. Georgia on deck

1067
00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:50,879
Speaker 2: Georgia opens, Boy, that was a big number. Twenty four

1068
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,239
Speaker 2: and a half. I think think about that going on

1069
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 2: the road in the SEC at Georgia. Those are Bama numbers.

1070
00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 2: Since my friend's over on Dogs twenty four seven. They

1071
00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 2: love it so much. When I compare the programs, there's

1072
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 2: a reason there's no one else I can compare Georgia to.

1073
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: It's just Bama. Those are the.

1074
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: Only ones that sort of tit for tat these numbers

1075
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 2: that you're starting to put up there, and numbers you're

1076
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,800
Speaker 2: starting to be favored by. Is it time, Colin?

1077
00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: Is this the time of the show?

1078
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 2: It's time? Okay, I'm excited. Sometimes we wait until the

1079
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 2: end of the show to talk about where we're going.

1080
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 2: But since we've already talked about some of the possible

1081
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 2: candidates for this week, and we're fresh off a trip

1082
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 2: to Austin, Texas yesterday, where again I just tossed a

1083
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 2: prayer up before thanks that we got an eleven AM

1084
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 2: kickoff so I could be back in Nashville by sundown.

1085
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,080
Speaker 2: God bless Big newon kickoff. Where are we going the

1086
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 2: Every Given Saturday Tour week three. We've been to Favorable,

1087
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,880
Speaker 2: We've been to Austin. Where are we going? It was

1088
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: made very very simple for me after yesterday Miami and

1089
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 2: Texas A and m strong contender. You can't do what

1090
00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 2: you did against app State and have the Every Given

1091
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,480
Speaker 2: Saturday Tour come to town. We in turn are headed

1092
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,120
Speaker 2: down I sixty five and then we're going to hop

1093
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 2: on eighty five. We're going to Auburn Penn State at

1094
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: Auburn for week three. And not only that, we via

1095
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 2: a partnership I can tell you about later in the week,

1096
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 2: are taking a show on the road.

1097
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: So we are actually going to do.

1098
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 2: The Thursday night show live, I want to say, from

1099
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 2: right outside Jordan Hare Stadium. So yeah, I've got to

1100
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 2: get the details on that. I know we've got to

1101
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 2: show this Thursday live from Auburn, Alabama.

1102
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:27,839
Speaker 1: I know that.

1103
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 2: I know we were at this game last year in

1104
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 2: State College and we saw a classic and we saw

1105
00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 2: the white out environment. And I know good and well

1106
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:38,800
Speaker 2: because I grew up forty five minutes away from Auburn,

1107
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,759
Speaker 2: I know folks down there have been salivating at the

1108
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 2: opportunity to get Penn State in their backyard.

1109
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:46,799
Speaker 1: Because see, everything folks.

1110
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 2: Told those around Auburn about the Penn State environment was accurate.

1111
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: I was there, I witnessed it. I'm still talking about

1112
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: it a year later. I can tell you folks at

1113
00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:01,600
Speaker 2: Penn State. You've probably heard people talk about LSU. You've

1114
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 2: heard people talk about the swamp, and they should. Those

1115
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 2: places are incredible. You'll find out about Auburn on a big.

1116
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 1: Game day Saturday.

1117
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 2: You'll find out about that place. You ask Georgia and Bama,

1118
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 2: who have had far superior teams go in there before

1119
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 2: and succumb to that environment. I can't put a finger

1120
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,760
Speaker 2: on what it is. I'm just telling you it's really

1121
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 2: it's weird, strange energy, extremely loud, extremely close quarters, especially

1122
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 2: the road conditions. True home field environment. One of the

1123
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,280
Speaker 2: truest home field environments in the SEC is Jorden Hare Stadium.

1124
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 2: You guys get to experience it this Saturday. They're going

1125
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,839
Speaker 2: to be very enjoyable, great people, going to be really

1126
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 2: enjoyable for you. A lot of things to see and do.

1127
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 2: But man Penn State opens is a three point favorite,

1128
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,800
Speaker 2: by the way, so we've seen two one possession games

1129
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 2: so far on the ever given Saturday tour. That's the

1130
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 2: position we try and put ourselves in. Some of you

1131
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 2: doubted us last week going to Bama, Texas, but we

1132
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 2: saw how that turned out. Oh, we're looking forward. I'll

1133
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 2: have more details later in the week. About the live

1134
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 2: show Thursday. We've never done that. I mean, we've done

1135
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 2: one in LA, but it was at Elite eleven. So yeah,

1136
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 2: a real live Thursday night broadcast on the road. Look

1137
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 2: at us, just look at us whomstead of funk it,

1138
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: Let's get back to things. Boy, we got an unfortunate

1139
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:22,720
Speaker 2: thing to talk about here. Unfortunate but necessary, I guess.

1140
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 2: Georgia Southern took down Nebraska last night forty five to

1141
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 2: forty two. The dew was not even off the grass

1142
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 2: and Lincoln this morning before Scott Frost was relinquished of

1143
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 2: his duties as head coach at Nebraska, or to put

1144
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 2: it a different way, he got fired And you might

1145
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 2: be thinking to yourself, well, duh, everyone knew he was

1146
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: going to get fired. Yeah they did. Do you understand

1147
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 2: what firing him now meant? Today?

1148
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: It is September eleventh, In.

1149
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 2: Three weeks time, his buyout was going to reduce Scott

1150
00:54:57,040 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 2: Frost was so bad and this this program was so

1151
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 2: lost and off the rails, they decided to pay him

1152
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 2: an extra seven point five million dollars to save three

1153
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 2: weeks time. I don't really know what to say because

1154
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 2: that it's listen. I don't care how flush with cash

1155
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,799
Speaker 2: you are. Seven point five million dollars is a lot

1156
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 2: to everyone everyone, and normally people who have accumulated that

1157
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 2: much wealth have done so because they know the value

1158
00:55:27,120 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 2: of a dollar. I say all that to say, you've

1159
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: got to be really bad to have three weeks of

1160
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 2: your presence be worth seven point five million dollars to

1161
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,839
Speaker 2: get you out of the room. But that's where they

1162
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 2: were at Nebraska. I got to give a ton of

1163
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,760
Speaker 2: credit Clay Helton and his coaching staff.

1164
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: There was a buzz all week.

1165
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 2: I should have talked about it more on Friday Night

1166
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 2: Lines if you were watching. We threw that one onto

1167
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 2: the Rama Noudle Express. We waited for it to get

1168
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 2: to twenty three. We actually got twenty three and a half.

1169
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 2: Turns out we didn't need any of the points. But

1170
00:55:57,040 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: there was a buzz around Statesboro, Georgia. I'm telling you

1171
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 2: all week, and there was good reason because they knew

1172
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 2: they had a shot we had seen Nebraska if they

1173
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 2: had seen Nebraska. Clay Helton, I don't know that some

1174
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 2: of you even knew he had the job there, former

1175
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:12,919
Speaker 2: Southern Cal coach.

1176
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: But you saw him last night, didn't you? And you

1177
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: saw him winning.

1178
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 2: Didn't get many of those big wins at Southern Cal,

1179
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 2: but man, he got one last night. So good for

1180
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 2: Clay Helton, Good for Georgia Southern. That's a really proud

1181
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 2: program over there. We don't get to talk about him

1182
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 2: a lot on the national scene, but it's a really

1183
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: it's a unique culture there in Statesbro and it's it's

1184
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 2: six hundred and forty two total yards. I had not

1185
00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 2: actually looked at the box score until just now, Colin, I,

1186
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 2: how could you do that? Are you telling me Georgia

1187
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:44,000
Speaker 2: Southern lost the turnover battle two to nothing and still

1188
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 2: won the game?

1189
00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: Okay, anyway, Scott Frost is out.

1190
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 2: Here's the I guess the least mean thing I can

1191
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 2: say now that this is decided. He was there five

1192
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 2: years well, Scott Frost had just entered his fifth year

1193
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,720
Speaker 2: at Nebraska. No point in that time could you ask

1194
00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 2: me what the identity of Nebraska football was? And me

1195
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 2: confidently have an answer for you. And that's the long

1196
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 2: and short of why he's no longer the head coach

1197
00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 2: at Nebraska. I got nothing against him at all. I

1198
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 2: like about ninety nine percent of the college football public

1199
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 2: thought it was a good hire. He was doing good

1200
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 2: things at Central Florida. He was coming into resurrect a program.

1201
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 1: And so four and.

1202
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 2: Eight, five and seven, first two years, three and five.

1203
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 2: I guess if you thought maybe for some reason COVID

1204
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 2: disproportionately impacted their program, you could write that off. But

1205
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 2: three and nine last year, and then they start this

1206
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 2: year the way they did. I mean, I remember looking

1207
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 2: at their schedule and thinking, Okay, they're going to be

1208
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 2: favored by a couple of touchdowns against Northwestern. If they

1209
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 2: can win that one, they could be three and oh

1210
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 2: playing in Oklahoma. If they lose that one, one and

1211
00:57:51,760 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 2: two against Oklahoma. It never occurred to me that Scott

1212
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: Frost would be gone before they play Oklahoma. And Oklahoma

1213
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,280
Speaker 2: does indeed come into Nebraska set that line is around

1214
00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 2: two touchdowns in favor of Oklahoma, and who in the

1215
00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 2: world knows what's going to happen with that. Now I

1216
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,920
Speaker 2: cannot get around firing a guy and paying him seven

1217
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 2: point five mil more than I would have owed him

1218
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 2: at the beginning of October, not the end of the year,

1219
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 2: if you misunderstood me. Not at the end of the year.

1220
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: They just had to wait till the end of the month,

1221
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 2: and they couldn't do it. They could or they didn't

1222
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 2: want to do it. I guess they could have done it.

1223
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: Where are they going to go? Where's Nebraska going to go?

1224
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 2: Which direction should the Nebraska program go? I don't really

1225
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,440
Speaker 2: care what the list of candidates is right now, because

1226
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 2: I know they're going to be ebbs and flows there.

1227
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,520
Speaker 2: But I am telling you it is imperative for them

1228
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 2: to find someone who can build the ship, not just

1229
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 2: someone who knows how to take the wheel once the

1230
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,920
Speaker 2: ship is built, because this is not already made program.

1231
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,000
Speaker 2: This is not a superpower in this sport right now.

1232
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 2: It was in a bygone era. They've got to rebuild

1233
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: it from the ground up, and you got to find

1234
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 2: a leader. You got to find a guy who knows

1235
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 2: how to do that and who has shown the ability

1236
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 2: to do it. And some of the early names floating

1237
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 2: around there, aside from sort of the pie of Sky names,

1238
00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna hear like Urban Meyer, Bob Stoops,

1239
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 2: forget all that, and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. You're

1240
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 2: gonna hear names like Lance Leepold, who just went and

1241
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 2: just smashed West Virginia as a thirteen point dog yesterday,

1242
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:23,919
Speaker 2: and that hurt us. You're gonna hear lance Leepold, he's

1243
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 2: at Kansas right now. I would absolutely look that way.

1244
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 2: You're gonna hear Charles huff Marshall's head coach just beat

1245
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 2: Notre Dame yesterday, still very young as a head coach

1246
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,040
Speaker 2: at least, but you're gonna hear that name. I think

1247
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,959
Speaker 2: you'll hear Chris Cleman's name, head coach at Kansas State.

1248
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 2: These are the kinds of places you need to look.

1249
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 2: I look all throughout the sun Belt. Who in the

1250
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 2: world didn't pull a big upset in the sun Belt yesterday?

1251
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 2: The sun Belt? Who passed off the sun Belt? Which

1252
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,440
Speaker 2: one of you is responsible? Some of you tried to

1253
00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 2: blame me if it's if it's said on this show

1254
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 2: and it's wrong. I've told you guys before, it's the model.

1255
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 2: If we're right, it's me. If it's wrong, it's the computer.

1256
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 2: So it's not on me. But look my point in

1257
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 2: all seriousness is, don't go find the biggest, flashiest name.

1258
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 2: Go find the guy who's right for the job, and

1259
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 2: go find a guy who knows how to build it,

1260
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 2: and who has shown you he can build it. Don't

1261
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 2: get fooled by someone sitting there in the interview process

1262
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 2: telling you he can do it. He ought to have

1263
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 2: the resume, he ought to have the proof of production.

1264
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 2: We have to do that all the time in our business.

1265
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 2: If we're pitching to advertisers, we don't tell them the

1266
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 2: kind of show we do. We clip different portions of

1267
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:33,000
Speaker 2: our show, and we.

1268
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Did it with Academy. We gave them a.

1269
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Proof of production reel, and therefore they don't have to

1270
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,919
Speaker 2: take our word for it. When you're spending, and when

1271
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 2: you're investing like they are, and when you're investing like

1272
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Nebraska is. Every time they hire a head coach, there

1273
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 2: should be no guesswork. The guesswork should be minimal. Okay,

1274
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 2: The guess work should be where's he gonna live? Does

1275
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 2: he like the color red? It shouldn't be can he

1276
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 2: build and maintain an organization? That's not the kind of

1277
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,919
Speaker 2: question you should ever be at. We had to ask

1278
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 2: it through the entire tenure of Scott Frost. Hopefully they

1279
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,120
Speaker 2: can get that figured out, because I can tell you

1280
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 2: the next question everyone's going to have. And the reason

1281
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 2: people doubt Nebraska's possible relevance in college football is cause

1282
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 2: they think the sport has passed them by. I'm not

1283
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: sitting here suggesting to you that one or two little

1284
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 2: tweaks in Nebraska's right there in perennial playoff contention in

1285
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 2: this sport. I'm not saying that, But I am saying

1286
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:31,400
Speaker 2: there is nothing that you're accomplishing at Iowa or Iowa State,

1287
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:35,919
Speaker 2: or Wisconsin or Minnesota that you can't accomplish at Nebraska.

1288
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Nothing.

1289
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,960
Speaker 2: Those places have made better decisions than Nebraska has made.

1290
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: And that's why, over this span of an aptitude at Nebraska,

1291
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 2: those other programs have had varying degrees and varying runs

1292
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 2: of success.

1293
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: You can do it just like them.

1294
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 2: Some could argue you could do it better than them,

1295
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: you hadn't done it as good as them, But it's

1296
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 2: not cause it you're incapable of it. It's just because

1297
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:59,959
Speaker 2: you hadn't made the right decisions. It's really that simple, guys.

1298
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,120
Speaker 2: So I pulled for Nebraska because I don't know how

1299
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 2: in the world unless they are a rival of yours.

1300
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how you pull against Nebraska. But Scott

1301
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Frost is out be really interested. Some of the odds

1302
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 2: are already out for the next head coach of Nebraska,

1303
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 2: and I think you'll be think. I mean, look, somebody

1304
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 2: was calling for Dave Randa. He ain't coming there from

1305
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Baylor Urban Meyer. We were sitting next to Urban on

1306
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 2: the set of Fox's pregame show yesterday. He looked pretty

1307
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 2: comfortable there, and I think there are only a couple

1308
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 2: of places he'd leave that set for. I think he

1309
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 2: was at one of them yesterday, and that was not

1310
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 2: coming open anytime soon. Chris Peterson, unless you know something

1311
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, I wouldn't expect Chris Peterson to pop

1312
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 2: up in Lincoln. Matt Ruhle, I don't. Whatever my point is,

1313
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 2: you've been given my marching orders. They are sound, Trust me,

1314
01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 2: they will work. So Trev Alberts, the balls are in

1315
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 2: your court now, Tennessee thirty four, Pitt twenty seven. Sorry, Colin,

1316
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 2: I didn't less you know. I was transitioning and this

1317
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:00,640
Speaker 2: is a big segment for Colin. This is bigger segment

1318
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 2: for Colin than it is for me. Tennessee went into

1319
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 2: pit yesterday. What I am still calling hinz Field until you,

1320
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 2: via a court summons, stopped me from it, and they

1321
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 2: beat Pitt thirty four to twenty seven. You needed to

1322
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:17,000
Speaker 2: watch this one. You needed to see this one because

1323
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 2: it sounds like there was a nice, well played back

1324
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 2: and forth affair and then Tennessee just out executed a

1325
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 2: pit rather in the end.

1326
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: And that is not it.

1327
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee was bad offensively, Tennessee was bad on special teams,

1328
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 2: and they won the game anyway, and I'm mildly surprised

1329
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 2: they did it, but they did it via a method

1330
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,400
Speaker 2: that they could not have done it last year. That's

1331
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 2: the biggest takeaway here. Defense print this headline. Defense won

1332
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 2: Tennessee a game. How about that. They talked about their depth,

1333
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 2: They talked about how much better they were, So Josh Heipel.

1334
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: Said, you'll see. I don't think this is how he.

1335
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Wanted you to see it, but we did see. So

1336
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 2: hats off there. There were self inflicted wounds all over

1337
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:00,440
Speaker 2: the place. I don't know how much any ways you

1338
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 2: can try and give away a game, but just go

1339
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,440
Speaker 2: watch this yesterday and count them because Tennessee explored every

1340
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 2: single one of them. Hendon Hooker was off, there were

1341
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 2: critical drops, They were all kinds of different ways that

1342
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 2: you could try and lose a game.

1343
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: They still won it.

1344
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:19,440
Speaker 2: So if you listened Friday to well, let me not

1345
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 2: say listen, if you looked at all the ways that

1346
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 2: Tennessee committed self inflicted wounds in this game, if I

1347
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 2: showed you a list of all things that happened, if

1348
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,080
Speaker 2: you showed me that list, I would have thought Pitt

1349
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:33,360
Speaker 2: was going to win this game by three scores. That's

1350
01:04:33,360 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 2: what I would have thought. So the fact that Tennessee

1351
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 2: still won the game is kind of mind boggling to me.

1352
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 2: But they did. They won anyway. At the pit run

1353
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:44,200
Speaker 2: game was largely held in check. They had a seventy

1354
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 2: six yard run yesterday. It was kind of like the

1355
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 2: Bama run game. There was one long run and then

1356
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 2: the rest of the game. You know, they had one

1357
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 2: long run of seventy six. Pitt ran the ball sixty

1358
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 2: five yards of the rest of the game. So Tennessee's

1359
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 2: defensive front held up. Tennessee's defense owned the line of scrimmage.

1360
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 2: They had like two dozen quarterback hurries and Keaton Slovas

1361
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 2: was knocked out of the game, so you had to

1362
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 2: back up in for Pitt. It comes down to how

1363
01:05:08,920 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 2: many different ways you can win a lot of times

1364
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:12,560
Speaker 2: in this sport. That's what it comes down to. How

1365
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 2: many different ways can you win? And I know at

1366
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 2: some point this season, or at least I think I know.

1367
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,240
Speaker 2: I think I know at some point in this season.

1368
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,720
Speaker 2: Like I said with Ohio State the other day, I

1369
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 2: think Tennessee will be able to win a game offensively.

1370
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a time where Josh Hipel

1371
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 2: can look at his offense and say, go win it

1372
01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 2: for me. I think there'll be times this year where

1373
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 2: special teams are a strength for Tennessee. In the meantime,

1374
01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 2: if it took that kind of performance for me to

1375
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 2: figure out they can win a game defensively, they're gonna

1376
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 2: be all much better for that.

1377
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,200
Speaker 1: So I know it was ugly yesterday, But.

1378
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Are there ugly wins for Tennessee right now given what

1379
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 2: we've gone through recently, I don't think so. Keaton Slovas,

1380
01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 2: like I said, for Pitt, was knocked out of this game.

1381
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't know his status. I haven't seen an update there.

1382
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,440
Speaker 2: Look Pitt played a down to the wire game in

1383
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 2: week one, played a down to the wire game yesterday.

1384
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 2: I mean, you play that out a thousand times. They're

1385
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 2: a one and one team. That's what they should be.

1386
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 2: You could say they could be two and ohero or

1387
01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 2: they could be O in two. They're a one in

1388
01:06:10,120 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 2: one team. They go to Western Michigan this week, they

1389
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 2: got Rhode Island, and then they really dive into conference play.

1390
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 2: It's a good team, Okay, we don't think that they're

1391
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 2: as good as the AP thought they were. We've had

1392
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 2: them ranked in the low to mid thirties. That's still

1393
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 2: where we have them power rated, and so I just

1394
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: there's a little step back that was gonna be taken

1395
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 2: this year. I think they have taken a little step back.

1396
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 2: Really solid team, not a great team. I don't think

1397
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 2: they're going to contend for the ACC championship. But then again,

1398
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 2: that's relative to what the ACC is, Okay. I can't

1399
01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 2: just sit here and say that in a vacuum. It's

1400
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 2: relative to what the ACC is because it's still a

1401
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 2: good team. So if if you just got a bunch

1402
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 2: of good elsewhere in the ACC, then never mind, Pitt

1403
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,240
Speaker 2: can contend for it, but in the meantime, excited to

1404
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 2: see Tennessee be able to in an ugly game do

1405
01:06:56,320 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 2: what they did yesterday. Okay, I need to out a

1406
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 2: few more things here, and none of these things are

1407
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:06,479
Speaker 2: gonna take like five minutes. But there were so many

1408
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 2: games yesterday that I can't go without, for instance, mentioning

1409
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 2: Oregon State played Fresno, and I have told you I've

1410
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 2: whispered to you a couple of times. Now I'm just

1411
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 2: gonna outright say it. You need to pay attention to

1412
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 2: Oregon State. They beat Boise in Week one, they beat

1413
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:27,360
Speaker 2: Fresno yesterday thirty five thirty two. I can almost be

1414
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: certain that you did not see the end of this game,

1415
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 2: and hats off to you if you did. They're down

1416
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 2: at the goal line, and they're down I want to

1417
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 2: say thirty two.

1418
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: To twenty nine or something like that. Yeah, that checks out.

1419
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 2: So there's like three seconds on the clock. They're on

1420
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 2: the two or three yard line, and you would think, okay,

1421
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 2: field goal, we're gonna go to overtime. They just ran it.

1422
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 2: I'm talking about like run a play games over if

1423
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 2: you don't get the touchdown, and they just ran it

1424
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: into the end zone like a true walk off touchdown,

1425
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 2: and Jonathan Smith and Oregon State man, they're doing all

1426
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: the right things. They're two to zero. Fresno goes to

1427
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 2: USC this week. Now, Southern calum I'm about to talk

1428
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 2: about in a second Fresno back against the wall, wounded

1429
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: animal mode. You just watch USC torch Stanford nine ways

1430
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 2: from Sunday and that line opened at twelve and a half.

1431
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 2: Southern Cal at home minus twelve and a half. Just

1432
01:08:20,800 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 2: be careful there, Fresno.

1433
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Good team.

1434
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 2: Gonna be a lot of positive press clippings on the

1435
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 2: West coast about Southern cal this week. Here's the part

1436
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:30,759
Speaker 2: of the show that I have looked not so forward

1437
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,400
Speaker 2: to because it means that I have to change something

1438
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 2: about the diction on the show BYU beat Baylor, not

1439
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 2: Brigham Young anymore. I made a promise to you guys

1440
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 2: last week. If you beat Baylor, I'll stop with this

1441
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 2: Brigham Young nonsense. I cannot pronounce the acronym. That sound

1442
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 2: stupid when I do it, But you know what, I

1443
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 2: look stupider for picking you to lose, didn't I BYU

1444
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 2: twenty six Baylor twenty down. Two receivers were the Cougars.

1445
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 2: That's my escape head, Just say the mascot. And they

1446
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:06,839
Speaker 2: won anyway. The defense wrecked, things wrecked. They had four sacks,

1447
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 2: they had six tackles for loss. This was a gut

1448
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 2: check win for BYU. They went into Waco last year

1449
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 2: and got run all over and they they were able

1450
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 2: to stand up this year. They had the better quarterback

1451
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 2: and they won the game, and they did it in overtime,

1452
01:09:21,479 --> 01:09:23,759
Speaker 2: and my hats off to them. They go to Oregon

1453
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 2: this week and Oregon has opened as a three and

1454
01:09:27,120 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 2: a half point favorite. What do you think about that?

1455
01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 2: It wasn't but two weeks ago you watched Oregon get

1456
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 2: splattered down in Atlanta, and you've seen BYU. There a

1457
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 2: lot of you like them. I don't know why you

1458
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't at this point. And they're going to Eugene three

1459
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 2: and a half point dog? Are you taking those points?

1460
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 2: We'll talk about it later in the week. USC looked

1461
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 2: really good yesterday. I watched a fair amount of this

1462
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 2: game on the flight home. USC beat stand for forty

1463
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 2: one to twenty eight. USC only had eight third down plays,

1464
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 2: not eight third downs or first down. They just they

1465
01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:03,160
Speaker 2: had eight totals down plays in the game. Why is that, Well,

1466
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 2: it didn't cause they didn't have the ball. Look, they

1467
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 2: had five hundred and five total yards of offense. It's

1468
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,240
Speaker 2: because they had twelve point six yards per pass. Caleb

1469
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 2: Williams was so effective they were rarely getting to third down.

1470
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 2: That's usually a pretty good sign. The entire stat sheet

1471
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 2: for Southern Cal is transfers. Everyone who did something yesterday offensively,

1472
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 2: transfer a transfer, a transfer. They look good, and because

1473
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 2: there's so many new pieces, I think it's fair to

1474
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:33,799
Speaker 2: say you're only just starting to see glimpses and flashes

1475
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 2: of what they can be. Now. Defensively, they're still gonna

1476
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: give up some points, but man, they they looked better

1477
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 2: earlier yesterday.

1478
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 1: Than I thought they were gonna look.

1479
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 2: I thought that game would be more competitive, and Southern

1480
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 2: Cal was never not in control of the game. So,

1481
01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 2: like I said, they've got Fresno at home this week.

1482
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,439
Speaker 2: They're about a thirteen point favorite. That's one to watch.

1483
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 2: You obviously know the skill level, like you you know

1484
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 2: the talent they have. It wasn't and isn't going to

1485
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 2: be an issue of that. But the cohesiveness, how quick

1486
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 2: can you get all those pieces together? This is kind

1487
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 2: of like the first Apollo Mission. It's uncharted territory to

1488
01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 2: put together a college football team like this, So a

1489
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 2: lot of us are learning. Lincoln Riley is teaching us

1490
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,879
Speaker 2: as we go as to what's possible in the transfer

1491
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 2: portal era. So the polar opposite of that was Iowa

1492
01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 2: State Iowa But they won.

1493
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: Excuse me, excuse me. Here's how I want to phrase this.

1494
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 2: They lost last year, we won this year, and I'm

1495
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,519
Speaker 2: talking about the same team. But Iowa State scored ten

1496
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 2: points yesterday and as expected, first to double digits won

1497
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 2: the game between Iowa State and Iowa several turnovers again,

1498
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 2: but this year at least they were equal as opposed

1499
01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:49,640
Speaker 2: to heavily tilted against Iowa State last year. Each of

1500
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 2: them turned the ball over three times. I mean I

1501
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 2: had an eye on it. Yes, I was sneaking peaks

1502
01:11:55,640 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 2: at this game. Finally, somehow, some way, against all odds,

1503
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:02,519
Speaker 2: Iowa State breaks through.

1504
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: They break the six game losing streak.

1505
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:06,719
Speaker 2: Iowa missed a field goal at the end that somehow

1506
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 2: they got a chance to kick, and Matt Campbell gets

1507
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 2: it done. And now, hey, sky's the limit, Baby, Sky's

1508
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 2: the limit.

1509
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna go ahead in pennsyl Iowa.

1510
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 2: Stated in the Big twelve championship game against Hoomps, we'll see,

1511
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 2: but boy, what a gigantic monkey to get off your back.

1512
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 2: Iowa State beats Iowa. Penn State looked really good. I

1513
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,720
Speaker 2: know you didn't watch it because they played Ohio, and

1514
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 2: you're gonna watch him this week, as will we, because

1515
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna see him in person. Penn State played Ohio

1516
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: yesterday and they they flexed a lot harder than they

1517
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 2: normally do in these spots.

1518
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:41,200
Speaker 1: In these spots, these are normally.

1519
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 2: Really sleepy thirty two to fourteen kind of wins. And

1520
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 2: it's just gross. And no one has a particularly impressive

1521
01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 2: stat line. No one told Nick Singleton, true freshman tailback

1522
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,559
Speaker 2: ran it ten times for one hundred and seventy nine yards.

1523
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Big deal, you say, huge deal.

1524
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 2: They haven't had a one hundred yard rusher since twenty twenty.

1525
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 1: They got it done.

1526
01:13:06,800 --> 01:13:10,599
Speaker 2: So that is one weight off the shoulders. The other

1527
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:15,240
Speaker 2: is they looked really good offensively. My guys, Sean Clifford

1528
01:13:15,280 --> 01:13:18,719
Speaker 2: looked good. Jesse's boy Drew Aler came in as usual

1529
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:21,679
Speaker 2: in garbage time put up some really impressive numbers. There's

1530
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,280
Speaker 2: a huge internal debate going on on the staff here.

1531
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 2: My vote counts as too, so Sean Clifford is still

1532
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 2: the quarterback there based on our internal polling. But they've

1533
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,040
Speaker 2: got two really good quarterbacks there in all seriousness, so.

1534
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: Penn State, they looked good yesterday.

1535
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 2: I'm not going to do a breakdown on the Penn

1536
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,639
Speaker 2: State Ohio game, but Penn State opens is a three

1537
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 2: point favorite on the road in Jordenhare Stadium out of

1538
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 2: conference time this week three point thirty Eastern, two thirty

1539
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:49,640
Speaker 2: Central on CBS. It's Penn State at Auburn. We're going

1540
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:52,920
Speaker 2: to be there every given Saturday tour. Looking forward to him, Hawaii.

1541
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 2: You got splattered as expected Yesterday. Also as expected, JJ

1542
01:13:57,000 --> 01:14:00,639
Speaker 2: McCarthy did the splattering. Check out this stat line eleven

1543
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 2: of twelve. The drop accounted for the twelfth, so he

1544
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 2: was perfect. Yesterday was JJ McCarthy starting from Michigan. He

1545
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 2: did everything and then some that it would take to

1546
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 2: get The following announcement courtesy of Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh.

1547
01:14:15,040 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy's our starting quarterback moving forward. Told you told

1548
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 2: you I don't think this was hard to see coming,

1549
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:24,040
Speaker 2: but told you so we got what we expected from

1550
01:14:24,040 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 2: an otherwise very unnoteworthy Hawaii drubbing of or Hawaii being

1551
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:34,680
Speaker 2: drubbed by Michigan. JJ McCarthy's your guy there now. I

1552
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 2: think as a result, Michigan has a very, very high

1553
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 2: ceiling on this team. I think they are a playoff

1554
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 2: caliber team with JJ McCarthy's quarterback. They may have been

1555
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 2: with mc namara. I think they are.

1556
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 1: They're that caliber.

1557
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 2: Whether they make it or not, they're all kind of

1558
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:51,559
Speaker 2: bounces the ball and injuries that can impact that. But

1559
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:53,320
Speaker 2: it's a really good team.

1560
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 1: Lastly, just out.

1561
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,719
Speaker 2: In the middle of nowhere last night, out in the desert,

1562
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 2: Mississippi State thirty nine, Arizona seventeen Mississippi State. We got

1563
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 2: them rated way higher than anyone else does. In fact,

1564
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 2: Jesse and Colin were they ranked in the AP pole.

1565
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 2: I tend to not look they okay, so foolishness. Mississippi

1566
01:15:12,960 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 2: State is indeed one of the twenty five best teams

1567
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,920
Speaker 2: in the country. You can leave them out all you

1568
01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 2: want to. I will be accepting your apologies down the road.

1569
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,760
Speaker 2: All the AP voters. We've got them inside the top

1570
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,799
Speaker 2: fifteen or sixteen or something like that. They play LSU Saturday,

1571
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 2: And as I told you a couple of weeks ago

1572
01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 2: and got mocked and ridiculed for it, Mississippi State is

1573
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:38,479
Speaker 2: favored in Tiger Stadium. Why because of Vegas. Oddsmaker's internal

1574
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 2: numbers look a whole lot more like the JP pole

1575
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 2: than the AP poll.

1576
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 1: Mississippi State's a.

1577
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 2: Really good team.

1578
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: If you don't talk about them, that's on you.

1579
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 2: They're a really good team, and they're favored by two

1580
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 2: and a half at LSU. That one's going to be

1581
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 2: one of the secret musty games in Week three. Speaking
