Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbal.
Speaker 2: I'm that for me.
Speaker 1: I'm a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to
Speaker 2: be happy.
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for Dake Edith state is that?
Speaker 2: Whoo whoom?
Speaker 1: And Dan and Tye welcome back to the Solid Verbal.
Speaker 1: Boys and girls. My name is ty Hildebrand. I am
Speaker 1: joined by my co hosts. A gentleman, fine gentlemen. I
Speaker 1: saw him yesterday. His name is Dan Rubinstein. Sir, how
Speaker 1: are you.
Speaker 2: Ty That intro was not good enough for being for me?
Speaker 2: Excuse me, since I've been with you, that's just not
Speaker 2: going to work for you.
Speaker 1: Nobody can equal me. You know this, and I know this.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna sip on this drink when I'm a little
Speaker 2: left up, Tye, when I'm a little left up, I
Speaker 2: should know how to pick up.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what lyrics you're going with today.
Speaker 2: It's very difficult to understand him. That is, I mean,
Speaker 2: I feel the same way, don't get me wrong. That
Speaker 2: is from the heart. That is French Montana, French Montana,
Speaker 2: French Montana with unforgettable unforgettable right okay?
Speaker 1: Ooh and she tipsy? Okay, yeah, yeah, not familiar with
Speaker 1: the genre as a whole. Is it on pop radio?
Speaker 1: Haven't heard it? It's like the number two song in
Speaker 1: the country right now. I need to I need to
Speaker 1: dive into Spotify then.
Speaker 2: And I I'm trying to remember like his dating history.
Speaker 1: There is a Kardashian involved. I don't know enough. Well,
Speaker 1: let me tell you this soon to be number three
Speaker 1: because breaking news new t Swift coming out on Friday. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did see that really bad album cover, Like very
Speaker 1: didn't see the album cover. Saw there was a hashtag.
Speaker 1: Feel like the hashtag's a little contrived album comes out.
Speaker 1: What is the hashtag? It's like hashtag reputation something like that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's the name of the album.
Speaker 2: And what I like about this is the French Montana
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift discussion dovetails Perfickly with an audience tuning in
Speaker 2: for SEC talk exactly like that.
Speaker 1: We know the crossover content. Yeah, that's what we do
Speaker 1: here on the show. Well, thank you all for coming
Speaker 1: back here. It's great to have you. We've got the SEC,
Speaker 1: we've got the Pac twelve, and we've got Notre Dame
Speaker 1: still to discuss here our plan of attack this evening
Speaker 1: as Dan mentioned is to talk about all things SEC
Speaker 1: and then we're going to release a show on Sunday.
Speaker 1: We're going to record it tomorrow, but we're going to
Speaker 1: release a show on Sunday in which we will discuss
Speaker 1: all things PAC twelve and Notre Dame. Maybe we'll close
Speaker 1: out our round or previews talking about Notre Dame in
Speaker 1: Oregon to four and eight teams from twenty sixteen, and then,
Speaker 1: you know, unless we decide to get crazy and post
Speaker 1: another show in between now and the start of the season,
Speaker 1: there's a pretty good chance our next show could be
Speaker 1: a Week one.
Speaker 2: Preview show, Dan, how did we get here? That's spicy, Tie,
Speaker 2: That is spicy. I cannot for that sound drop that
Speaker 2: says Dan, Ty, help I need?
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? I need the week? Need
Speaker 1: picks of the week. Yeah, we'll help to the extent
Speaker 1: that we can. One note on the game picks, though,
Speaker 1: we have been flooded with emails, with tweets, people asking
Speaker 1: what's the deal with the pick'm pool? As I said
Speaker 1: to you earlier today, I'm gonna murder the next person
Speaker 1: who asks me a question about pick'm pools. And I
Speaker 1: mean that in as lovingly a way as possible, Murder
Speaker 1: them with kindness. That's right, murder them. Thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you for putting a nice spin on that. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: Yahoo has a pick'm pool. It's against the spread, but
Speaker 1: they cap the league size at one hundred. They don't
Speaker 1: label that anywhere. Of course, otherwise it would have been
Speaker 1: a lot easier to navigate this particular situation we're in.
Speaker 1: So what I'm trying to do is find another home
Speaker 1: for the pick and pool. I've reached out, I've cast
Speaker 1: a net far and wide. If we can't find a
Speaker 1: home for it, I don't know what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1: I've even tried building my own, but I don't think
Speaker 1: I've got enough time.
Speaker 2: So, damn you, Oh sports, is that what Yahoo is
Speaker 2: going to change? I damn you.
Speaker 1: I'm trying, Okay, I'm really trying because it's a lot
Speaker 1: of fun. But if somebody doesn't come through for the
Speaker 1: pick and pull, I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 1: I have no options at this point. Then I am
Speaker 1: at the end of the rope. I'm sorry to hear that. Tight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna figure something out. I don't know what
Speaker 2: we're gonna do. Also, I think it'd be a great
Speaker 2: idea because if we're releasing SEC in the near future
Speaker 2: after recording this and Pack twelve this coming weekend, why
Speaker 2: don't you just you could probably fit your Notre Dame
Speaker 2: preview into an Instagram store.
Speaker 1: You could squeeze it into the fifteen. We will give
Speaker 1: that preview like Organs the time he deserves on this podcast.
Speaker 2: Can you take a shot and try to preview right now?
Speaker 1: Or no?
Speaker 2: God, what a dumb way to start into an SEC preview.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you could probably do it. I'm
Speaker 2: curious about the new court. Brandon Wimbush is promising. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 2: don't don't know.
Speaker 1: Okay, wait, I could definitely do it. I've got I
Speaker 1: know you could. I've got something in the oven. I've
Speaker 1: got something in the oven. It needs another day, Okay. Anyway,
Speaker 1: stay tuned about to pick and pool. Also, end of
Speaker 1: the week, the shirt sales close, so if you're interested,
Speaker 1: to solid verble dot com slash store and buy your shirts. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Final war stand. Follow us on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram,
Speaker 1: all of those fun places. Dan, Let's talk some SEC,
Speaker 1: all right. I am firing up, I'm yelling at the Mic,
Speaker 1: because we're talking SEC. What are your general takeaways for
Speaker 1: the SEC in twenty seventeen, mister Rubinstein.
Speaker 2: A lot of new coordinators, a lot of returning quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: and the top looks the same, the bottom could shift
Speaker 2: around a little bit, and the middle should be a
Speaker 2: mess in a good way because there's a lot of
Speaker 2: uncertainty surrounding. But even just the West, if you just
Speaker 2: look at the West, the new coordinators obviously highlighted by
Speaker 2: our dear friend Paul Rhoades taking over the defense at.
Speaker 1: Arkhams so proud. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So you have the situation, the coaching situation in general
Speaker 2: at Ole miss and Phil Longo's a new offensive coordinator
Speaker 2: comes from sam Houston State. Chip Lindsay takes over at
Speaker 2: Auburn from Arizona State. A short trip there, Matt Canada
Speaker 2: of course, to LSU, Todd Grantham to Mississippi State. Alabama
Speaker 2: loses both Lane Kiffin and then Steve's Sarkesian and they
Speaker 2: hire a Patriots assistant in Brian Dable. So I think
Speaker 2: the uncertainty surrounding scheme, surrounding quarterback play, surrounding personnel, and
Speaker 2: how that all fits with these new coaches. I think
Speaker 2: that's pretty interesting to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are no teams in the SEC that I'd
Speaker 1: consider a stinker. You know, Ole Miss could be the
Speaker 1: worst team in the SEC. I don't think they woefull Yeah,
Speaker 1: a woeful team. Yeah, yeah, they could be the worst
Speaker 1: team because they've got nothing to play for. But even
Speaker 1: they have talent to go five hundred. Just commit that
Speaker 1: to memory because at some point somebody's going to have
Speaker 1: a hot take and you're gonna read about how, oh
Speaker 1: the ACC is better than the SEC, or is this
Speaker 1: the year the PAC twelve is finally dethroned in the SEC.
Speaker 1: I don't like those articles. We should have drafted that
Speaker 1: genre of article in our fantasy things maybe next year.
Speaker 2: Did you see that Jimbo Fisher was on like Sports
Speaker 2: Center or something recently and there was men as a
Speaker 2: compliment and the host was like, you know, Florida State,
Speaker 2: to your credit, you're like a very much SEC type team,
Speaker 2: and all Jimbo Fisher does is beat SEC team. So
Speaker 2: it was very weird backwards compliment. Yeah, it was fun.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the conference has very good depth. Every team in
Speaker 1: this conference could conceivably qualify for a bowl game. I
Speaker 1: don't think they all will Now, obviously all miss caan't
Speaker 1: by their own volition, But I think it's a very
Speaker 1: good conference, very deep conference, a lot of quality teams.
Speaker 1: Also of note, the SEC East. You don't realize it
Speaker 1: until you go through and look at every team. How
Speaker 1: ridiculously young it was a year ago, and it's going
Speaker 1: to be a recurring theme now as we talk about
Speaker 1: some of these teams like Vanderbilt, some of these teams
Speaker 1: like Missouri. Fair, where would you like to start? I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess we start with Alabama. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: that out of the way. It's gonna be very quick.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be quick. We're gonna have to split hairs
Speaker 1: to really find things that we don't like. There is
Speaker 1: a ton of turnover on defense for Alabama. Yet they
Speaker 1: are still odds on favorites to win the SEC West,
Speaker 1: quite probably to win the national championship at this point.
Speaker 2: Fair to say, it's probably a stretch just because that's
Speaker 2: a different base, but to win the SEC certainly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and yes, if there were a certain team that is
Speaker 2: the odds.
Speaker 1: On favorite, is absolutely Alabama. It is hard to bet
Speaker 1: against the three Dragons of Damian Harris, both Garborough and
Speaker 1: Joshua Jacobs.
Speaker 2: Yes, and they still have the number one overall recruit
Speaker 2: coming in at that position on top of all of that,
Speaker 2: and Naj Harris. It was probably gonna play a little
Speaker 2: bit in the slot, I would assume, just to get
Speaker 2: on the field and get touches.
Speaker 1: So it's hard to bet against an offense that as
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley back at wide receiver one hundred and fifteen
Speaker 1: targets last year. Hard to bet against a secondary that
Speaker 1: is as loaded as this one is with Minka Fitzpatrick
Speaker 1: and Tony Brown and Ronnie Harrison and you know, if
Speaker 1: you're squinty, you could say, well, they lose Cam Robinson
Speaker 1: along the line, but they have three starters back and
Speaker 1: a ton of talent coming in.
Speaker 2: Yes, and Oj Howard sort of along the line was
Speaker 2: a big deal and at least caused a lot of
Speaker 2: teams to pay attention to yet another playmaker along the line.
Speaker 2: So that's a somewhat big deal, even though he wasn't
Speaker 2: used a ton. Big thing to me offensively is what
Speaker 2: are they going to look like with Brian Dable? You know,
Speaker 2: how does that offense evolve after Lane Kiffen went to
Speaker 2: some more spread and mobile quarterback looks rightfully, so with
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts' ability, what does Jalen Hurts look like with
Speaker 2: the summer of perhaps getting into a better rhythm and
Speaker 2: becoming more accurate as we saw he struggled with the
Speaker 2: better defenses down the stretch for Alabama. And then what
Speaker 2: type of role if any, does the true freshman who
Speaker 2: has certainly impressed thus far in spring and summer whatever
Speaker 2: to attag of Aloa for Alabama. The quarterback, the smaller
Speaker 2: lefty from Hawaii who's pretty interesting, what role does he play?
Speaker 2: Because defensively, you sort of know what you're getting. It's
Speaker 2: the same defensive coaching staff mostly certainly the same defensive coordinator,
Speaker 2: Jeremy Pruett. They have five stars everywhere up front, even
Speaker 2: though they're replacing a Ton and replacing Jonathan Allen is
Speaker 2: as we talked about with Cole Kublick, a not insignificant deal.
Speaker 2: He was that versatile and that dangerous. But yeah, Sean
Speaker 2: Dion Hamilton comes back from injury, and as the as
Speaker 2: you mentioned, the guys in the secondary going to be huge,
Speaker 2: and they're they're deep with talent, so it's a matter
Speaker 2: of weathering their schedule Florida State. Obviously in week one
Speaker 2: they go two A and M, and we don't fully
Speaker 2: know what to expect from that A.
Speaker 1: And M offense.
Speaker 2: They go to Mississippi State, which is I would argue
Speaker 2: one of the more intriguing, interesting unknown quantities offensively because
Speaker 2: of the potential of Nick Fitzgerald. And they go to Auburn,
Speaker 2: another one of those teams that sort of fits in
Speaker 2: with that, but with a higher talent level, so how
Speaker 2: they're able to weather But there's no reason to say, well,
Speaker 2: this is a loss, and this is a loss on
Speaker 2: their schedule. Most likely there just isn't that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's interesting about it too? Defensively, you talk about
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen, but also Dalvin Tomlinson, Reuben Foster, Ryan Anderson,
Speaker 1: Tim Williams. That's a lot of combined tackles for lost Dan.
Speaker 1: It's a lot of combined sacks that is moving on
Speaker 1: either to the next level or elsewhere. The fact that
Speaker 1: Alabama is still the odds on favorite to win the
Speaker 1: SEC and again probably the national championship at this point
Speaker 1: in late August, that's really telling you something about the
Speaker 1: team that Nick Saban's built, the talent that's coming in
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. The defense is a bit
Speaker 1: of an open question mark, But I think we're willing
Speaker 1: to grant Nick Saban a rite a passage there, if
Speaker 1: only because they've been so good defensively since he's gotten there.
Speaker 1: I will go back to the Brian Dable offense for
Speaker 1: a second. Paul Weinbaum called him a failed offensive coordinator,
Speaker 1: so he must be good. He went on ESPN, he
Speaker 1: talked about about him being a failure. He does have
Speaker 1: a lot of experience with Bill Belichick. He worked with
Speaker 1: Saban in the nineties as a grad assistant at Michigan State. Again,
Speaker 1: this is an area where we gloss over it. Typically
Speaker 1: will give Saban the benefit of the doubt, but I'm
Speaker 1: not sure we fully know what that offense is going
Speaker 1: to look like until we see it out there against
Speaker 1: Florida State. So that bit of an open question to me. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: I echo a lot of the same stuff. Tough schedule,
Speaker 1: if they can weather it, they'll be fine. And Alabama
Speaker 1: is one of my playoff teams at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Mike Loxley has a coordinator title,
Speaker 2: So there's that too, and the other. Only other thing
Speaker 2: I'll say about Alabama when you look at their schedule,
Speaker 2: is there is there's not really a back to back
Speaker 2: that's terribly worrisome with the better teams on their schedule.
Speaker 2: But if you want to look at a letdown, just
Speaker 2: pure letdown spot which doesn't really happen with Nick Saban
Speaker 2: and Alabama. But if in a hypothetical world we were
Speaker 2: thinking that's a possibility, they go to Mississippi State, They
Speaker 2: go to Starkville the week after the LSU game, and
Speaker 2: so there's a there's a trick sandwich in there.
Speaker 1: Ty trick. Mick Fitzgerald turns out to be very good.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Auburn. Auburn or LSU, depending
Speaker 1: on where you look. Those are the teams that most
Speaker 1: of the prognosticators, if you will, seem to think represent
Speaker 1: the next tier in the SEC. Auburn when eight and
Speaker 1: five last year, they started one two, they finished one
Speaker 1: in three. They played pretty well in the middle. I
Speaker 1: like their stable of running backs with Cameron pat Way,
Speaker 1: Carrie and Johnson lal Martin another three headed monster. Right yeah.
Speaker 1: I like their line. They are replacing two starters, but
Speaker 1: they got a grad transfer from Florida State and another
Speaker 1: transfer from Jacksonville State who just happened to be a
Speaker 1: two time All American at the FCS level. Yep, so
Speaker 1: they're going to have a run game. What I don't
Speaker 1: like about Auburn is that both Montravius Adams Carl Lawson
Speaker 1: are both gone thirteen and a half sacks walking out
Speaker 1: the door, a ton of potential and the guy stepping up.
Speaker 1: I'm real excited about Derek Brown. I think they're going
Speaker 1: to be just fine. It's just an open question. And
Speaker 1: to lose two studs like that, right sure. Another question
Speaker 1: for me is Jared Stidham. Everyone's assuming that Jared Stidham
Speaker 1: is going to come in and be very good. He
Speaker 1: was very good in limited action at Baylor before he
Speaker 1: di to transfer. But what is he going to give us.
Speaker 1: He's still a bit young, he's still a bit unproven.
Speaker 1: There are options out wide, but again open question mark
Speaker 1: new quarterback. How will Gus Melzon decide to use Jared Stidham.
Speaker 1: It's a reasonable question.
Speaker 2: I think it's more of a Chip Lindsay thing, as
Speaker 2: it appears that Gus Melson will be delegating a little
Speaker 2: bit more, if that's the right word. Chip Lindsay has
Speaker 2: said that they're going to be working in Baylor type
Speaker 2: route trees and plays and RPO type stuff for Auburn
Speaker 2: to keep Jared' Stidham comfortable, which seems to make a
Speaker 2: lot of sense. He's surrounded by a ton of offensive
Speaker 2: skill talent. As you said, I'm not worried about that line,
Speaker 2: even though they are replacing a couple of pieces. I
Speaker 2: think they're going to be all right under our good
Speaker 2: pal And then defensively, I think you know that they
Speaker 2: have experienced rotation guys that came in. There's talent that's
Speaker 2: young that should develop, we assume, So the linebacking corp
Speaker 2: is pretty good. They've got some experienced playmakers there. And
Speaker 2: then the back of that defense there's a couple of
Speaker 2: big losses, but they've stocked the talent well in Auburn
Speaker 2: on the planes, and I think guys are going to
Speaker 2: come in and be pretty good against which should be
Speaker 2: a pretty good roster of quarterbacks on this schedule. And
Speaker 2: we don't know what to expect out of Clemson, certainly
Speaker 2: early on in the season, and that's a road spot.
Speaker 2: So we'll learn a lot about both of those teams
Speaker 2: just in terms of where they are early they have
Speaker 2: LSU and Arkansas both on the road back to back,
Speaker 2: and it looks like they have A and M on
Speaker 2: the road, and then George at home back to back,
Speaker 2: and then they host Alabama. So it's a landmine of
Speaker 2: a schedule. It is everywhere you look on this Auburn schedule.
Speaker 2: But the combination of good offensive coaches what we think
Speaker 2: will be at least a good quarterback right from what
Speaker 2: he shohould.
Speaker 1: He should be. He was pretty good in the limited
Speaker 1: action that we saw him over at Baylor.
Speaker 2: What we see in Jarrett Stidham, I think, and this
Speaker 2: is the collective we probably is what Nebraska fans think
Speaker 2: Tanner Lee will be. Nebraska fans, I'm sorry I shouldn't.
Speaker 1: Well, in fairness, Nebraska has a little bit more data
Speaker 1: to go on with Tanner Lee. That's true. That's true.
Speaker 2: You look at those manning passing numbers, that's right, those
Speaker 2: camp numbers. Anyway, nine and.
Speaker 1: Three feels like the right prediction to me. If you
Speaker 1: told me ten and two, I could believe it. If
Speaker 1: you told me eleven and one, if I was feeling
Speaker 1: really generous, well maybe I could believe that. Twelve and
Speaker 1: oh's too much. Wait with those with those two back
Speaker 1: to backs.
Speaker 2: I think their ceiling is ten and two because of
Speaker 2: what we saw when Shawn White went down last year
Speaker 2: and hopefully Sewn White his full strength in the backup role,
Speaker 2: that a wounded Auburn doesn't have a ton of options
Speaker 2: if the quarterback goes down, and you know what, healthy
Speaker 2: Sewn White with his offense might be really good too
Speaker 2: if Jared Sidham goes down. But I'm a little bit concerned.
Speaker 2: I think the ceiling is ten and two, nine and three.
Speaker 2: Ten and two is where I stand, and they're going
Speaker 2: to be a really good team when they're operating.
Speaker 1: I am probably the most excited to see Clemson against
Speaker 1: Auburn any of the early games. Florida State Alabama is
Speaker 1: interesting in its own right. As Kirk Kurkstreet said, I
Speaker 1: think right before we went on the air here over
Speaker 1: at ESPN, it's kind of like a national championship game
Speaker 1: in Week one. I don't disagree. It's a great game.
Speaker 1: I am more excited almost for Clemson and Auburn because
Speaker 1: both teams have a fair amount of open questions. Both
Speaker 1: teams should be pretty solid. I think that's going to
Speaker 1: be an outstanding game. I'm excited to see that game.
Speaker 1: I agree, the other team in the SEC West again
Speaker 1: in that second tier, if you want to call it
Speaker 1: that LSU. LSU is in a very interesting spot this year.
Speaker 1: Was there any doubt that Coacho wanted this job more
Speaker 1: than anybody else?
Speaker 2: No, I don't think there was any any morsel of
Speaker 2: this job that Coacho was not willing to scrounge ob.
Speaker 1: And you know what, and I talked about I talked
Speaker 1: about this after the live show with a few of
Speaker 1: the guys who were there. There's a lot of value
Speaker 1: sometimes in hiring the guy that wants a job the most.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what Notre Dame did with Brian Kelly.
Speaker 1: And you might love him, you might hate him, you
Speaker 1: might make fun of him. But the program is absolutely
Speaker 1: in a better place now than it was when he
Speaker 1: took over. If Orgeron could take LSU to the next level, hey,
Speaker 1: that's like national championship quality Dan, the talents there. The
Speaker 1: consistency on offense hasn't been there right, which leads me
Speaker 1: to my real question. Are you a Matt Canada believer
Speaker 1: in what he can bring to the table at LSU?
Speaker 1: Mostly yes. The track record is somewhat there.
Speaker 2: He did a really good job with pieces that he
Speaker 2: didn't necessarily develop and recruit into last year, which is
Speaker 2: a good sign that without much time to sort of
Speaker 2: recruit to a specific style, he was very multiple At
Speaker 2: pitt last year. We saw them run a lot of
Speaker 2: power with James Connor, but at the same time Nate
Speaker 2: Peterman was able to spread the ball around pretty nicely
Speaker 2: to playmakers who are always traditional, big hulking pro style guys,
Speaker 2: and LSU was built to be at least multiple with
Speaker 2: what they've cruited. My concern it's the obvious one in
Speaker 2: Danny Etling and a very definitive ceiling. I would say,
Speaker 2: and now that Brandon Harris is gone, the parachute is
Speaker 2: it's got a couple holes in it. He's not playing
Speaker 2: with as robust and net beneath him. I'm a little
Speaker 2: bit mixed on offensive skill, which is to say I
Speaker 2: love Darius Geice no whole bunch. Yeah, yeah, but the
Speaker 2: receiving core is pretty green. Couple big losses, exhausting eligibility,
Speaker 2: but all in all, if the offense is creative enough,
Speaker 2: they don't need to score thirty five to win. With
Speaker 2: the defense that LSU is going to be fielding. So
Speaker 2: I think it could be a good step forward year
Speaker 2: for the offense and getting creative and shifts and motions
Speaker 2: and misdirection and sort of keeping defenses on their heels.
Speaker 2: It's hard to screw up when you have decent offensive
Speaker 2: line talent and Darius Guice.
Speaker 1: It just is you. How do you feel about the
Speaker 1: geiss is right? It's fine? Poltergeiss is an? Is that
Speaker 1: a positive message? I don't know. I don't he's ghosting people.
Speaker 1: They can't okay, they can't tackle him, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Swiss army guys, I don't know. Army stretch. That's better. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll get back to it. I think there's potential there.
Speaker 1: Thirteen hundred and eighty seven yards and fifteen touchdowns last year,
Speaker 1: and that is on a team that also featured Leonard Fournette. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so he was a pretty good year. He was prime candidate.
Speaker 2: I don't think we drafted this in our Fantasy Things draft,
Speaker 2: but we had as an option the backup might be
Speaker 2: even better than the start, and that you can see that.
Speaker 2: I mean, if we had drafted that, you might be
Speaker 2: getting points with to attag of Ailoa.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Last year, Sam Darnold would have turned out to
Speaker 2: be correct, sure, But defensively, LSU is in a wonderful spot.
Speaker 2: There is I have written down in my notes is
Speaker 2: their defensive line talent from a pure talent, depth experience whatever,
Speaker 2: it's scary big time.
Speaker 1: Now there is some turnover a line, and in the
Speaker 1: secondary they're gonna need to lie on a few younger guys.
Speaker 1: But you're right, everyone's a blue chip recruit.
Speaker 2: On my notes, I have LSU scary, big time defensive
Speaker 2: line talent. And even though, like I'm sure you know,
Speaker 2: they did lose a couple of big, big dudes, but
Speaker 2: they've recruited so well up front and depending on who
Speaker 2: gets cleared and who is able to play this season,
Speaker 2: they should have dudes a plenty.
Speaker 1: It is a brutal road schedule, though it is. It's
Speaker 1: ooh ah at Mississippi State, at Florida at Ole Miss,
Speaker 1: which you know you never know with Old Miss, at
Speaker 1: Bama at Tennessee, and then there is a home game
Speaker 1: against Auburn right after Florida, which obviously not a road tilt,
Speaker 1: but right Florida Auburn, that's body blow potential right there.
Speaker 2: I'm looking and I think the schedule that I have
Speaker 2: in front of me is correct what their uh, I
Speaker 2: guess November looks like.
Speaker 1: Do you see this tie?
Speaker 2: Yeah, at Alabama, Arkansas at Tennessee and A and M
Speaker 2: and can secutive weeks. Spicy. That's a spicy meatball. And
Speaker 2: that is if you can picture it in your head,
Speaker 2: everybody listening at home or mowing the lawn or driving
Speaker 2: your car. Hey ten and two, by the way, picture
Speaker 2: at oorzer on shoeless, sockless, bare feet with like one
Speaker 2: hundred yards of flaming hot coals in front of them. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and that's what that's schedule.
Speaker 1: Oh oh oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, so that's what the schedule is just saying.
Speaker 2: And two, I think it's a nine and three year
Speaker 2: for LSU. Nine to three feels about right to me. Yeah,
Speaker 2: tough schedule, okay, but it's the ceiling is pretty high.
Speaker 1: We got we gotta move quick here. That's next half
Speaker 1: of the SEC West. Let's go to Arkansas. The last
Speaker 1: three seasons for Brett Bielma, he's twenty two and seventeen.
Speaker 1: I think the eye opener a year ago was that
Speaker 1: Arkansas was not that great at running the football, which
Speaker 1: is contrary to Bilama's entire brand. You know, they ripped
Speaker 1: off some big plays, but they just they were not
Speaker 1: consistent on the ground. And when Belama's bread and butter
Speaker 1: is not as efficient, not as domineering as you would
Speaker 1: expect it to be, I think that's I think that's
Speaker 1: a bit of an issue. And you know Brett Bielima
Speaker 1: loves his bread and butter. Oh my god, Yeah, of
Speaker 1: course I love the Alan Whaley duo in the backfield. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this year, the depth isn't great. Yeah, the line's young,
Speaker 1: it's it's experienced. Okay, I'll give you all that, but
Speaker 1: if they can't run, if that doesn't get any better,
Speaker 1: I got to ask the question where it's all going
Speaker 1: in Fayetteville? Is that a fair question? It is?
Speaker 2: I was I'm trying to remember, and they talked about
Speaker 2: on the full cast our friends Spencer, Ryan and Jason
Speaker 2: Brett Bilama's record in the SECS Conference record is not
Speaker 2: dramatically what it's below five hundred, and it's just what
Speaker 2: the patience is going to be like. Obviously last year
Speaker 2: they were particularly and you mentioned the short yardage on offense,
Speaker 2: but they were atrocious defensively tackling in the open field
Speaker 2: and Paul Rhoades takes over and has a history of
Speaker 2: running good defenses. The secondary wasn't bad against the pass
Speaker 2: last year, which is a good sign.
Speaker 1: On defense.
Speaker 2: They look like there's experience and if that it's a
Speaker 2: good thing, then they've got it. If if the experience
Speaker 2: of the guys coming back is good, it's there. They're
Speaker 2: gonna need to get better along the linebacking core, and
Speaker 2: there's it's The line is only okay. I think offensively
Speaker 2: you nailed it.
Speaker 1: But schedule, schedule isn't great. Great maybe like going like
Speaker 1: maybe like forty yards of hot coals. Yeah, for Arkansas,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at tc He's better suited for hot coals
Speaker 1: at Orgron or or brat Bielam. It has to be
Speaker 1: orson right, It's definitely got to be to Mark strikes
Speaker 1: me as the kind of guy who you could smash
Speaker 1: a bat over his head and you wouldn't feel it,
Speaker 1: but he cried for a paper cut. Yeah. So who
Speaker 1: do they have? Who's on the slate. Some of the
Speaker 1: highlights for me, TCU, Texas A, and M they go
Speaker 1: to Bama home against Auburn at LSU. Those are the
Speaker 1: big ones, and you've got some other tweeers in there.
Speaker 1: At South Carolina for a team like Arkansas, I could
Speaker 1: see that being tricky. If South Carolina improves, Jake Bentley
Speaker 1: keeps looking good. Yeah, At Old Miss, you just don't
Speaker 1: know what to expect from Old Miss this year. They've
Speaker 1: got a home game against Mississippi State, which again a
Speaker 1: great unknown. If the Hogs were to start two and four,
Speaker 1: I would not at all be surprised. It's a tough schedule.
Speaker 1: To me, this feels like a seven and five team.
Speaker 1: That's pretty nice of you. I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: getting past six and six.
Speaker 2: They feel like the ultimate Well, you got to take
Speaker 2: the bad with the good, and everything just feels like
Speaker 2: it's in such extremes. I'm fairly confident that Paul Roads
Speaker 2: is increasing or improving this defense. But beyond that, I
Speaker 2: like Austin and he certainly stood in because of a
Speaker 2: bad offensive line performance last year and took a bunch
Speaker 2: of hits and was still able to be relatively productive.
Speaker 2: His ceiling isn't super high. I love a good ceiling tie,
Speaker 2: as you noticed, But I like Austin. I think he's
Speaker 2: pretty good, and all things considered, if the offensive line improves.
Speaker 2: He has, he has some weapons to play with, and
Speaker 2: I just I'm worried about the line play. I'm worried
Speaker 2: about the line of scrimmage with the Brett Bieloman team.
Speaker 2: And that's weird, especially considering how good they were defensively
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. I just think they're going
Speaker 2: to get in their own way too much, and that
Speaker 2: just it's like they almost feel like not just a
Speaker 2: six and six team, tie like the most six and
Speaker 2: six team in America.
Speaker 1: Very very average, the most wild card.
Speaker 2: One week they win a game against LSU, the next
Speaker 2: week they lose to South Carolina.
Speaker 1: We're in agreement. Then both both lines really offensively, they're young.
Speaker 1: They've got experience, but they're young and they need to
Speaker 1: get better because running was an issue last year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and then defensively, five of six defense and defensive linemen
Speaker 1: are gone. Excuse me, a lot of potential among those
Speaker 1: who return, which is I think a source of optimism.
Speaker 1: But they're also installing a three to four. It's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a different look. Makes sense for them
Speaker 1: because they're a little bit deeper at linebacker. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean there's there's some moving pieces there that doesn't exactly.
Speaker 1: It's still confidence. So seven and five ceiling team.
Speaker 2: Maybe, Yeah, they need to take three leaps and or
Speaker 2: bounds to get to seven and five.
Speaker 1: Eight and four. Yeah, Texas A and m Dan. Here's
Speaker 1: what they lose. They lose Trevor Knight, six of seven
Speaker 1: top wide receivers, Avery Gennessee there their stud left tackle.
Speaker 1: They lose a good chunk of their depth in their
Speaker 1: front seven, including Miles Garrett and Dashawn Hall. Not great.
Speaker 1: Looks like they're going to start Nick Starkle, the red
Speaker 1: shirt freshman. Everything I've read says that he's got an
Speaker 1: edge over Jake Kubanac.
Speaker 2: He's like the bigger, sort of can take hits and
Speaker 2: has a big arm kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, So whoever plays at quarterback. You've got
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, You've got Travion Williams.
Speaker 2: Ty I'm gonna I'm gonna stop you right there, Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I have a DUOD alert, Dude.
Speaker 1: Travion Williams is so good. He's a truth. He is
Speaker 1: the complete truth.
Speaker 2: And he is lost a little bit in a conference
Speaker 2: with a pretty good set of running backs. I just
Speaker 2: Travon Williams was such a home run hitter last year,
Speaker 2: and they needed him to be He's so fun, he's
Speaker 2: so quick, he gets to the edge in an almost
Speaker 2: mean way. Ty, I really like Travion Williams, and that's
Speaker 2: not discounting Nick Chubb or Darius Geice or anybody else
Speaker 2: in this in this conference. He's so fun and he
Speaker 2: is such a dude.
Speaker 1: One fifty seven yards last year, six point eight per carry. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's behind a line that's young, They've got experience. I
Speaker 1: would expect Tim to have another good year regardless of
Speaker 1: who's playing quarterback. On the defensive side of the ball.
Speaker 1: They've got a senior heavy secondary and they're gonna need
Speaker 1: it because it needs to off set a ton of
Speaker 1: turnover in the front seven.
Speaker 2: And it wasn't fully the secondary's fault last year. They
Speaker 2: gave up so much on the ground and it was
Speaker 2: almost as if they just were always set with pass
Speaker 2: rushers and they could never really set a consistent edge.
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett was obviously great. I mean, their ends were
Speaker 2: really good, but for whatever reason, they just allowed so
Speaker 2: much on the ground. And that's if they can shore
Speaker 2: at least that up, then they become interesting. I'm still
Speaker 2: worried about Nick Starkle whoever ends up starting at quarterback
Speaker 2: just because the attrition is brutal, losing Kyle Allen and
Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. But this is the most wild card. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've got eighty five, but the past three years, I
Speaker 2: agree because I like a lot of the pieces on
Speaker 2: defense coming in. They've recruited really well. I like the
Speaker 2: beef inside on the line. I really like their safeties.
Speaker 2: Armani Watts is a legitimate star all Conference if not
Speaker 2: All American type talent. But they need so much in
Speaker 2: the way of fundamentals on defense and just consistency from
Speaker 2: quarterback because Trevor Knight was not that good.
Speaker 1: He was not the answer. No, no, no, And look,
Speaker 1: the schedule sucks for everyone in the SEC West. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's just assume that much. A and M opens up
Speaker 1: at the Rose Bowl against UCLA. Yeah, which will be
Speaker 1: an interesting bell weather for both of those schools. Good
Speaker 1: game right away, nice measuring stick. I think that's what
Speaker 1: we look for in week one and then between October
Speaker 1: and the end of the year. Listen to this one. Okay,
Speaker 1: Bama at Florida, Mississippi State, Auburn, New Mexico in there,
Speaker 1: just for just for fun and then at ole Miss
Speaker 1: at LSU. Yeah, that's a murderer's row.
Speaker 2: Well it's it's a wounders row, wounders yes, okay, it's
Speaker 2: a guntlet. Yeah, okay, Kevin Somelin any better at the
Speaker 2: Coles and then Ed Oorshron.
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think so. I think it's
Speaker 1: pain intolerance. I think that's what we're talking about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, I say seven and five, Well, they win
Speaker 1: a bowl game to go eight and five? Yeah, or
Speaker 1: straight years? Yeah, okay, I'm with you, seven and five,
Speaker 1: let's go to Ole Miss. Perhaps you haven't heard this.
Speaker 1: We've got breaking new. We haven't talked about it at all.
Speaker 1: But Hugh Freeze was fired, yeah, or resigned under a
Speaker 1: grave pressure, yes, resigned whatever, Yeah, he was fired. Not
Speaker 1: just that, but there are some self imposed sanctions which
Speaker 1: means they're not going to play in a bowl game
Speaker 1: no matter what happens this year, which you know sets
Speaker 1: up an interesting circumstance for eighteen to twenty two year
Speaker 1: old football players. Yeah, how emotionally, how mentally invested will
Speaker 1: they be in in this season? I thought a lot
Speaker 1: about how high I've been personally on Old Miss over
Speaker 1: the years, and I just I want to confirm with
Speaker 1: you that I am not responsible for any of this.
Speaker 2: Can neither confirm nor deny ty. We've yet to see
Speaker 2: all of the call logs. Let's see if you appear the.
Speaker 1: Front seven's got talent, yeah, but minimal depth. The secondary
Speaker 1: has depth, but only a few proven pieces. They're not
Speaker 1: land Sharks anymore time they're not. The offense has talent.
Speaker 1: The highlight I think is clearly Shape Patterson. The rest
Speaker 1: is pretty much to be determined. Yes, I think that's
Speaker 1: all correct.
Speaker 2: I think the skill position, especially receiver, is pretty promising.
Speaker 2: They return a number of quality pass catchers that could
Speaker 2: form a pretty good tandem with Shape Patterson. The offensive
Speaker 2: line isn't bad, but yeah, defensively is where they seem
Speaker 2: to take a step back, because it always seemed like
Speaker 2: they were rotating, and somebody knew that was high quality.
Speaker 2: The land Sharks were such a threat to everybody, I
Speaker 2: don't care who up front. They had first round talent
Speaker 2: at both along the defensive line and the linebacking corps,
Speaker 2: and it's just not there. They've taken some hits talent wise,
Speaker 2: The schedule actually tie. If there is a schedule that
Speaker 2: you're like, well, all right, I mean they do have
Speaker 2: it appears Alabama and Auburn on the road in consecutive.
Speaker 1: Yeah, not great, not great.
Speaker 2: But other than that, I think their only other significant
Speaker 2: road game is they're at Mississippi State the egg Balls
Speaker 2: on the road. Right, that is correct? Yes, yeah, they
Speaker 2: have Kentucky who should be pretty good. But LSU is
Speaker 2: at home. Nothing, everything's really buffered by other teams. It's
Speaker 2: tex A and M's at home. Schedule for being in
Speaker 2: the SEC West is actually fine. Here's my predation. Here's
Speaker 2: my prediction for Old Miss. I'm not going to predict
Speaker 2: wins and losses. I think it's almost impossible.
Speaker 1: My prediction was. My prediction is that they're going to
Speaker 1: beat someone like Arkansas by twenty eight, but lose at
Speaker 1: the gun to Vandy or maybe a team that they've
Speaker 1: got more talent. Then it's gonna be that kind of year.
Speaker 1: Up and down.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Here's the case for Ole Miss. Is a new
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator in Phil Longo who is at Sam Houston State,
Speaker 2: and they put up video game numbers.
Speaker 1: They have a new.
Speaker 2: Defensive coordinator who was there before, and Wesley McGriff. He
Speaker 2: takes over and the coaching staff other than Hugh Freeze
Speaker 2: is pretty much intact new faces, So there's an unexpected
Speaker 2: factor with Ole miss with Phil Longo and Shaye Patterson
Speaker 2: and good receivers that. Yeah, I think you're right. They
Speaker 2: could win a thirty four to thirty one type game
Speaker 2: against somebody that is in a better position to win
Speaker 2: more games. So I'm going to go. I still think
Speaker 2: they're around a five and seventeam and they wouldn't be
Speaker 2: in a bowl game anyway, but there there will be
Speaker 2: fun moments just because Shaye Patterson does have that much talent.
Speaker 1: And our final team in the SEC West, the other
Speaker 1: Mississippi team, Mississippi State. Now, how dare you they've got Mississippi.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I mean no disrespect to the Bulldogs. They've
Speaker 1: got Nick Fitzgerald at quarterback. He is six', five two.
Speaker 1: Thirty he's a mac truck. Back, There Fred ross is,
Speaker 1: gone the rest of the wide receiving court is. Back
Speaker 1: shout out to the. Freeducation that's. Right the line has
Speaker 1: to replace three. STARTERS i feel very confident That Nick
Speaker 1: fitzgerald will take it upon himself to do some damage
Speaker 1: in THE sec and find ways to win games For Mississippi.
Speaker 1: State i'm not sure what their ceiling. Is it might
Speaker 1: only be a six and sixteen this year because it's
Speaker 1: a tough, Schedule BUT i am oddly excited to see
Speaker 1: what they can put out in the field this.
Speaker 2: Year, yeah they've and they're a little bit of a
Speaker 2: mystery just because they recruited a lot of junior college
Speaker 2: guys who are going to help out with positional needs
Speaker 2: on both offense and, defense but particularly, defense where they
Speaker 2: took a definitive step back and shout Out Dan mullen
Speaker 2: his ability to hire defensive. Coordinators It's Manny, Diaz Jeff,
Speaker 2: dollins And Peter sermon didn't work out and made his
Speaker 2: way To, louisville But Todd grantham makes his way to
Speaker 2: what feels like his seventh team in three years.
Speaker 1: Straight, up a straight up trade at the, Deadline Peter
Speaker 1: shermon To louisville Or ulville the point of, View, yeah
Speaker 1: in exchange For Todd, grantham they've recruited really well up.
Speaker 2: Front they have legitimate blue chip star power, upfront which
Speaker 2: is something you always like to see in the second.
Speaker 2: Person in the back, end it's sort of an unknown
Speaker 2: quality because of THE jc guys coming. In they were
Speaker 2: only okay last. Year need to improve back, there especially
Speaker 2: since quarterback play will be better this. Year schedules, Rough,
Speaker 2: yeah schedules, rough but they are for pure football reasons
Speaker 2: and Pere Nick fitzgerald reasons one of the, teams especially
Speaker 2: with How fitzgerald. LOOKED i think he averaged like nine
Speaker 2: yards per carry on non sack rushing, play something like.
Speaker 2: That Bill see had that. Number if he is completing
Speaker 2: sixty percent of his, passes if he improves to that,
Speaker 2: mark they become a pretty dangerous team because he is
Speaker 2: a prototypical mull and. Quarterback the offensive coordinators have done
Speaker 2: a good job. There they have more, excitement but they
Speaker 2: still feel like a twenty eighteen. Team BUT i, Agree,
Speaker 2: YEAH i think the trajectory is upward right.
Speaker 1: Now it's. Cool, yeah you, Know Nick fitzgerald is just
Speaker 1: a really good fit for What Dan moune wants to. Do,
Speaker 1: yeah what's the? Record you see six and, six five and,
Speaker 1: seven seven and five for? Me, Okay, yeah it's a brutal.
Speaker 1: Schedule they have el.
Speaker 2: Schedule IT'S lsu and then road games Against georgia And
Speaker 2: auburn all those are three straight. Weeks they Host, alabama
Speaker 2: which is all things considered the way you want, it
Speaker 2: and they Host ole miss as we mentioned the egg.

Speaker 1: West why don't you talk to me about THE Sec? East?
Speaker 1: Dan we're all? Right does your heart take you when
Speaker 1: you THINK Sec East georgia coming to Jew, okay let's
Speaker 1: talk About.
Speaker 2: Georgia, yeah let's talk about a team that returns a
Speaker 2: ton on?
Speaker 1: Defense how about that.
Speaker 2: TIE i really they were a mess offensively and starting
Speaker 2: a true freshman quarterback as blue chippy as he was
Speaker 2: In Jacob, eeson there were gonna be some. HICCUPS i
Speaker 2: didn't anticipate this. MUCH i still Think georgia is the
Speaker 2: favorite to win The, east BUT i still have questions
Speaker 2: about the direction of the. Offense So georgia's schedule is pretty.
Speaker 2: Good they have App state to, open which is. Tricky
Speaker 2: they go to it's a Non power five team the next.
Speaker 2: Week i'm fairly, certain right, ty how dare?
Speaker 1: You but?
Speaker 2: No with how much they return on defense And Nick
Speaker 2: chubb is, Back Jacob, eason we assume will, improve but
Speaker 2: they're working in rotation guys and contributors out. Wide the
Speaker 2: offensive line has, pieces but still not fully confident in
Speaker 2: their ability with how Much Jacob eason was kind of
Speaker 2: on the run last. YEAR i like the talent. Level
Speaker 2: i'm Just i'm unsure about the coaching level at this.
Speaker 2: Point but YET i still feel like because of what
Speaker 2: they are up against and schedule, WISE i know they
Speaker 2: go To, Tennessee florida is obviously a neutral site. Game they,
Speaker 2: go they cross over Against auburn And Georgia. Tech NOT sec,
Speaker 2: wise that's still on the.
Speaker 1: Road it's.
Speaker 2: Fine the, defense to, me is probably the single best
Speaker 2: thing about THE sec.
Speaker 1: East AM i? Wrong, no you're not. Wrong i'm not,
Speaker 1: wrong and you're not wrong to have a few questions
Speaker 1: about the, offense because my question is about the. Line last,
Speaker 1: year the line was not all that. Great right, now
Speaker 1: they still lost To vandy last, year it's still lost To.
Speaker 1: Vandy this year they are replacing both tackles and their,
Speaker 1: center and the line already was a liability a year.
Speaker 1: Ago so you, know they might have, talent and lord,
Speaker 1: knows they've been doing a really good job in the recruiting,
Speaker 1: trail but a problem up front against some of these
Speaker 1: fronts in THE sec is not. Optimal should they be?
Speaker 2: Worried AND i don't have what app state returns in
Speaker 2: front of, Me but if there is a week in
Speaker 2: which you really don't have a good sense for where
Speaker 2: you are as a team and how to call plays
Speaker 2: and how to work in, rotations it's always week. One
Speaker 2: the biggest improvement tends to come between week one and.
Speaker 2: Two they have app state week one granted at, home
Speaker 2: what chance do you GIVE i don't have a point
Speaker 2: spread in front of. Me but given how great App
Speaker 2: state was on defense last year and how tricky their
Speaker 2: offense can be at, times they're going to be outclassed By.
Speaker 2: Georgia is there a twenty percent chance App state could
Speaker 2: win that?
Speaker 1: Game twenty? Five thirty percent? Chance, OKAY i mean it's out.
Speaker 1: There App state's a good. TEAM i think you all
Speaker 1: talk about it more next. Week you're always a little
Speaker 1: higher on App state THAN i. Am but, yeah that's.
Speaker 1: TRUE i love me some. Sadderfield it's out. There what
Speaker 1: happens If georgia goes seven and five this? Year how
Speaker 1: do you Think georgia fans would feel About Kirby?
Speaker 2: Smart that seat is warming because they've done really well
Speaker 2: on the recruiting. Trail but seven and five is seven and,
Speaker 2: five seven and, five seven and, five they win an eighth.
Speaker 2: Game that makes a little bit better in the bull.
Speaker 2: Season if they go seven and five this year and
Speaker 2: they win any fewer than nine games in twenty, EIGHTEEN
Speaker 2: i think it becomes a.
Speaker 1: Problem fair or? Not all, Right where are we going?
Speaker 1: Next let's go To, Florida.
Speaker 2: Florida, YEAH i have news that both you AND i
Speaker 2: have been suspended for the game. ACCOUNT i didn't want
Speaker 2: to tell you this on the, air but you, know
Speaker 2: sometimes you just have to make that.
Speaker 1: Suck so let me let me jump in. HERE i
Speaker 1: don't want to steal your. Thunder. Hm the Zai Era Dan, Oh,
Speaker 1: yeah the Zi era is now In. Gainesville, yeah maybe
Speaker 1: the Backup. Zaierra but, yes quick history for new. LISTENERS
Speaker 1: i have been in On Malik zayira since when he
Speaker 1: was a wee pup back In, Kettering. Ohio mm. Hmm
Speaker 1: him coming over as a grad transfer is a big
Speaker 1: deal For. Florida you should know that if you listen
Speaker 1: to this, show because the human body can only take so.
Speaker 1: Much Treon harris And austin Apple be And luke Del
Speaker 1: rio and lord knows whoever the hell else they've been
Speaker 1: trying to play quarterback In. Gainesville the, question as you,
Speaker 1: alluded is whether or not it's going to be The
Speaker 1: zayia at starting quarterback Or zayera at backup. Quarterback because
Speaker 1: it could Be Felipe. FRANKS i wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: he ended up WIN. A, Yeah zaire has not been
Speaker 1: the same player since his injury back in twenty. Fifteen
Speaker 1: he just, hasn't and it's not because of lingering effects
Speaker 1: from the. Injury maybe it was just the situation At
Speaker 1: Notre dame. BROKEM i don't. Know right it was a
Speaker 1: weird time for us, all but in limited action last
Speaker 1: year he was not the same. Player maybe The texas
Speaker 1: game where everyone was high and mighty On League zaire
Speaker 1: was a bit of. MIRAGE i don't. Know we will
Speaker 1: find out if he, plays we will, see but right
Speaker 1: now it remains an open item whether or Not zaia
Speaker 1: error is going to launch the zai era as starting
Speaker 1: qure back In week. One For, FLORIDA i THINK i
Speaker 1: still Like doug Na, smeyer the offensive coordinator who's had
Speaker 1: sort of an up and down career as he's gone different,
Speaker 1: places who's very good At, washington not great At michigan.
Speaker 2: WHATEVER i like pieces For. FLORIDA i THINK. C. C
Speaker 2: jefferson is a complete and absolute. DUDE i am ready
Speaker 2: to put my foot. Down i've already used my dude alert.
Speaker 2: Up but he is somebody that didn't start last year
Speaker 2: but played a ton and when he was in, there
Speaker 2: he was pretty. Dominant they don't return a lot on,
Speaker 2: defense Though they've got a couple interesting guys in the,
Speaker 2: back but they lost two great corners, obviously and a
Speaker 2: really good linebacker and a ton along the defensive. Line
Speaker 2: but they've recruited well enough. Offensively it's just what do
Speaker 2: they look, like what is their, identity who's throwing? Passes
Speaker 2: and you, know maybe there's a comparison Between MALIK'S iiir
Speaker 2: And Evort golson with the sort of grad transfer transfer,
Speaker 2: transfer But Everitt golson was fine at times For Notre
Speaker 2: dame and had a ton of reps for the eye
Speaker 2: were transferring To Florida. State whereas the phrase you use
Speaker 2: limited action is quite appropriate because it's not like my.
Speaker 2: LEAKS i ear was up and down as he was
Speaker 2: finding his. Way, now he didn't play that. Much he,
Speaker 2: Didn't he really, didn't and so to assume that he's
Speaker 2: going to get the starting role is kind of a,
Speaker 2: leap AND i don't know if he. Will Felipe franks
Speaker 2: is recruited by this. Staff he came in raw but
Speaker 2: has a huge. ARM i don't know if he's going to,
Speaker 2: start but he certainly gives them an option That Austin
Speaker 2: appleby And luke Del rio do not. Physically So i'm
Speaker 2: curious to see what they look like schedule. Wise obviously
Speaker 2: they Have michigan and they're gonna be. SHORTHANDED i Know
Speaker 2: Antonio callaway was suspended, again their best. Receiver and rest
Speaker 2: of the schedule, wise it's.
Speaker 1: Fine, YEAH i mean AS sec schedules. Go, yeah it's
Speaker 1: good because they miss Both alabama And, auburn they GET
Speaker 1: lsu at. Home they they only have three true road. Games,
Speaker 1: yeah so it's a decent road. Schedule the problem really
Speaker 1: is a non. Conference they supplement what looks like a
Speaker 1: MANAGEABLE sec, schedule again relatively, speaking they supplement it With
Speaker 1: michigan And Florida state in the non, conference which is
Speaker 1: not used by any. Stretch florida not leaving to play
Speaker 1: true road. Games, huh you, never you live to see
Speaker 1: see it?
Speaker 2: All, yeah, man here is the, name, though, Ty jim.
Speaker 2: McElwain i would. Pause it has been barefoot a, lot
Speaker 2: and if we're climbing across hot, calls he. Doesn't his
Speaker 2: stretch is not nearly as long as. LSU's but if
Speaker 2: there is somebody better. Suited you saw how his face.
Speaker 2: Responds he was shorred in his he was introductory press. Conference, yeah,
Speaker 2: YEAH i think he could with stand some heat to the,
Speaker 2: feet could have a genetic.
Speaker 1: Disposition mm, Hmmmmmmm i'm. Intrigued, yeah, yeah So i'm just
Speaker 1: paying attention to WHAT i don't. Know all, right let's
Speaker 1: go To. Tennessee all, right let's do That. Tennessee as everyone,
Speaker 1: knows they are the defending champion's wife m. Dominant Butch.
Speaker 1: Jones nine and.
Speaker 2: Four nine of four is not, bad, Right, no especially
Speaker 2: since the problem, Was, yeah it's not. Bad they started
Speaker 2: out last season went five and, zero and then they
Speaker 2: it's that up and down and up where you just
Speaker 2: lose faith and you forget that they did put up
Speaker 2: starting In november when the schedule opened up a little.
Speaker 2: More they really beat up offensively on mediocre, teams which
Speaker 2: is what good teams, do And Josh doobbs put up
Speaker 2: a ton of. Yards they had big time, Receivers they
Speaker 2: had the two big running. Backs Alvin kamara broke, Out
Speaker 2: SO i mean they Lose mike To, board who's now At,
Speaker 2: indiana and they bring in The miami, coach, right the
Speaker 2: guy who took over When Al golden was let, Go
Speaker 2: Larry scott takes over the. Offense, so just so we're,
Speaker 2: clear not The pack twelve, commissioner, Correct Not Larry Scott
Speaker 2: pack twelve. Commissioner, OKAY i don't believe they've a quarterback.
Speaker 2: Yet it's between an, Upperclassman Quentin, dormandy who is super
Speaker 2: promising And Jack, warrantano who's more of a dual threat
Speaker 2: but also looks like he could be pretty electric if
Speaker 2: placed in the correct. POSITIONS i. Am i'm concerned about
Speaker 2: the losses on defense at every. Level that's the. Problem
Speaker 2: they were really built to make that nine to ten
Speaker 2: win run last year and now there's just so many.
Speaker 2: Questions and, OFFENSIVELY i like what they've. Recruited they return
Speaker 2: a good, amount BUT i don't. KNOW i don't know
Speaker 2: about This tennessee. Team too many questions for.
Speaker 1: Me, yeah the strength of the defense is probably at,
Speaker 1: linebacker but there are questions up front now That Derek
Speaker 1: barnett and some other guys are. Gone and then there's
Speaker 1: some turnover in the, secondary and it's probably not as
Speaker 1: big of an issue since they do have options back.
Speaker 1: There BUT i Like Todd kelly a. Lot, yeah, yeah
Speaker 1: keep your eyes on. Cornerback that could really be a
Speaker 1: concern in the secondary for The valls And Bob shoop's
Speaker 1: okay With. TENNESSEE i think, offense, YEAH i, MEAN i
Speaker 1: think they're. FINE i just don't think they're as fine
Speaker 1: As tennessee fans want them to. Be AND i think
Speaker 1: that's going to be a, problem especially For Butch, jones
Speaker 1: because he may not be fully secure in his. Position
Speaker 1: AND i think he knows it. RIGHT i think that's
Speaker 1: the real. Concern what happens if he really starts feeling the.
Speaker 1: Pressure what kind of bugaboos will he find himself In?
Speaker 1: BUGABOO i don't. KNOW i don't know what to expect
Speaker 1: From tennessee this. YEAR i am worried about the defense
Speaker 1: as well because of the. TURNOVER i think they Beat
Speaker 1: georgia tacking week, one BUT i think they lose To.
Speaker 2: Florida that's also in the big, stadium, right that's not At,
Speaker 2: georgia that's In Mercedes. Benz, yeah THEY i think they
Speaker 2: Beat georgia attacking week, one BUT i think they've lose To.
Speaker 1: FLORIDA i think they lose To. GEORGIA i think they
Speaker 1: lose At alabama AGAINST. Lsu wouldn't surprise me to see
Speaker 1: a letdown or a look ahead in. There maybe Against
Speaker 1: South Caner, Missouri i'm going to go seven and. FIVE
Speaker 1: i don't know if it's enough For Butch jones to
Speaker 1: keep his. Job but seven and five is where it's
Speaker 1: at for. Me why are you automatically Assuming florida is a.
Speaker 1: WIN i know it's At, florida it's In, gainesville but
Speaker 1: these ARE i, mean they are two teams with quarterback,
Speaker 1: questions with a lot of big defensive. Losses tennessee's offense
Speaker 1: should look a little bit. Different, true different, quarterback different
Speaker 1: Quarter it's a fair. QUESTION i feel better About florida's
Speaker 1: defense as a, whole, okay and their ability to rebound
Speaker 1: because they have matched. Up they have been rock solid,
Speaker 1: defensively even despite some of the losses that they're.
Speaker 2: Experiencing, yeah seven and, five eight and four feels pretty
Speaker 2: appropriate considering the questions and the.
Speaker 1: Schedule and it's.
Speaker 2: Just going to take some, TIME i think for whoever
Speaker 2: comes in at quarterback to get used to the pace of.
Speaker 1: Play, okay let's go To. Missouri let's do. It missouri
Speaker 1: also part of the four and eight club last.
Speaker 2: Year, Dan, yeah that's, true and completely reversed themselves from
Speaker 2: going From wow dominant defense that.
Speaker 1: Dominating on.
Speaker 2: Defense but the offense just isn't doing them any favors To,
Speaker 2: oh the.
Speaker 1: Offense is pretty. Good defense got real. Bad defense was
Speaker 1: a disaster a year. Ago. Yeah Bill connolly described it
Speaker 1: as plugging one leak and then having another pop. Up mm.
Speaker 1: Hmm the line Has Terry beckner junior, Back, yes that's,
Speaker 1: good And Marcel fraser he had seven and a half
Speaker 1: sacks blind, know still something of a mystery and corner
Speaker 1: is even more of a mystery. Talent but none of
Speaker 1: it is really all that. Proven oh your voice is
Speaker 1: going up, again raising the. Register so again a story
Speaker 1: of youth getting getting. Older on, offense pretty much the
Speaker 1: entire offenses. Back SO i think we'll see them take
Speaker 1: a step. Forward but, DEFENSIVELY i just don't know where to.
Speaker 1: GO i really don't know where to.
Speaker 2: Go there might be a good thing ty the fact
Speaker 2: that they so new defensively from where they were last.
Speaker 2: Year where can some new players get people who used
Speaker 2: to the sort of second year of the, System you
Speaker 2: know they. Do Miss Craig kolangowski with such a good
Speaker 2: defensive line coach for. THEM i think they're gonna. IMPROVE
Speaker 2: i think they're gonna make a bowl. GAME i Like
Speaker 2: Drew locke a good amount tie that me.
Speaker 1: Too i'm with.
Speaker 2: YOU i like his receivers a ton the guy, More Jamon,
Speaker 2: moore really really good, schedule totally, fine totally, totally if,
Speaker 2: not if not better than totally. Fine Missouri state to
Speaker 2: open the season Up idaho At, yukon.
Speaker 1: Watch out For Brett. Lashley it's. Fine, yeah it's totally.
Speaker 2: Good they're road games in THE sec At, kentucky At,
Speaker 2: georgia At vandy At.
Speaker 1: Arkansas. Fine, Okay, okay, yeah, yeah that's. Bowlworthy all, right
Speaker 1: let's go To South Carolina Dan, okay six and. Seven
Speaker 1: last year In will Mush champ's first year ahead him,
Speaker 1: SCHEDULE i would almost, yeah you, know everyone was skeptical
Speaker 1: of bringing will Mush, champion especially after it seemed Like
Speaker 1: South carolina when they were looking for a. Coach they
Speaker 1: got the news out there nice and early in case
Speaker 1: any big fish wanted to come To columbia and they
Speaker 1: Get will Mush. Champion admittedly a bit of a. Letdown
Speaker 1: to his, credit, THOUGH I i feel like he's acknowledged
Speaker 1: some of the shortcomings in his stay At. Florida, yeah you,
Speaker 1: know he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy
Speaker 1: who's too proud for his own good he's. Intense mm, hmm,
Speaker 1: YEAH i Guess I'm I'm i'm trying to be optimistic.
Speaker 1: Here i'm more. Optimistic i'm with. YOU i think they're
Speaker 1: ahead of. Schedule he went from three to six wins
Speaker 1: in his first. Year so there's something something to hang
Speaker 1: your hat.
Speaker 2: On, dan here's a retroactive pick that's not an actual
Speaker 2: pick for Our Fantasy things.
Speaker 1: Draft And Jake bentley should have been in high school last.
Speaker 1: Year Jake bentley should have.
Speaker 2: Been that was the parent in every single let's talk
Speaker 2: About South carolina in the off. Season Jake bentley was
Speaker 2: pretty good to finish out the. Season and here's the, thing.
Speaker 1: He should have been in high schools skinned the senior.
Speaker 1: Year so that was that was always sort of. Fun but,
Speaker 1: yes this wasn't a good team last. YEAR i thought
Speaker 1: they they, became they got.
Speaker 2: Better they lost three or four to lose the, season
Speaker 2: but they had a stretch in. There they're like Late,
Speaker 2: october Early. November they Beat, tennessee they Beat, missou they
Speaker 2: beat THE i Think america's independent, team The UMass. Minute, right, yes,
Speaker 2: obviously and they showed enough and yes they got killed Against.
Speaker 1: Clemson that was going to Happen clemson WON Nash.
Speaker 2: Championship BUT i think they showed enough that If South
Speaker 2: carolina can put out consistently just an above average, offense
Speaker 2: and they're certainly still so thin because recruiting was left
Speaker 2: so bare by the Time Will muschamp got, there that
Speaker 2: if they keep bringing in talent, defensively they are going
Speaker 2: to be a team that can win eight nine games a,
Speaker 2: year which is.
Speaker 1: GREAT i DON'T i don't think it. Happens not this.
Speaker 2: Year, no, no, no not this. Year But i'm saying the
Speaker 2: trajectory is such, yeah, okay that they can win eight
Speaker 2: nine a. Year, yeah they will.
Speaker 1: IMPROVE i don't know how much, offensively but the lineup
Speaker 1: front's almost entirely, back which is a decent starting. Point
Speaker 1: Jake BENTLEY i think was a marginal improvement when he
Speaker 1: came in at. Quarterback he's only going to get. Better
Speaker 1: he's still very. Young, defensively they should have a decent enough.
Speaker 1: Secondary the front could be an. Issue last year's run
Speaker 1: defense a bit of a tire, fire, Yep BUT i
Speaker 1: feel like there is good momentum, there SO i, realistically
Speaker 1: what's the ceiling is seven wins the? Ceiling probably it's
Speaker 1: a tough schedule for a team that's still. Building who
Speaker 1: is the best at the, Moment who is the best
Speaker 1: quarterback in THE Sec? East Jacob? Eeson you would have
Speaker 1: got A Jacob. Eeson he was not? Good who was?
Speaker 2: Better he had that ten the end of The tennessee
Speaker 2: game was one, thing but everything else right, now.
Speaker 1: It's got to Be. Jajabieson it could Be. Bentley, no
Speaker 1: it's one hundred Percent Jacob. Eeson it's Not, Okay so
Speaker 1: it's Not Stephen, johnson it's Not Kyle.
Speaker 2: Scharmer we know. That kentucky And, vandy now that's. Fine
Speaker 2: whatever we you, Know Felipe, franks whoever starts or whoever
Speaker 2: starts At, florida whoever starts At tennessee could be the
Speaker 2: best quarterback, Whatever we don't. Know i'm not nearly as
Speaker 2: high On Jacob eason as you. Are And i'm not
Speaker 2: Saying i'm high on. Him i'm, saying what are my choices?
Speaker 2: Here of this six?
Speaker 1: Choices if we Get Malik zaire from twenty, fifteen he's the.
Speaker 1: ANSWER i haven't talked to anybody yet who's now walking
Speaker 1: through that. Door, no, no no one's told me yet
Speaker 1: that we're going to see that version Of. Zayer so
Speaker 1: the default answer has to Be.
Speaker 2: Eason oh, SEE i think right, now given what we
Speaker 2: saw last, year and given what we know about everybody's,
Speaker 2: potential AND i don't know What easton's potential is now
Speaker 2: after last. Year that's just Where i'm, at and Hopefully i'm.
Speaker 2: Wrong Whatever Drew locke And Jake bentley could be that
Speaker 2: name By Vanda. Beer, no It's East. High i'm planting this.
Speaker 2: Flag i'm gonna die on that hill if you. Want but,
Speaker 2: YEAH i know the answer Is Jacob.
Speaker 1: Eeson, well we've got two teams left here in THE Sec.
Speaker 1: East we've Got vandy and we've Got. Kentucky which one
Speaker 1: do you feel better? About let's let's go to The
Speaker 1: sea Of.
Speaker 2: Blue let's Go, kentucky, okay WHICH i believe is our.
Speaker 2: Pow Ryan nanny mentioned this on the live. Show it's
Speaker 2: his pick to win The. East that's the.
Speaker 1: Most chaotic seven and. Six last, Year return A, Ton
Speaker 1: return A. Ton some news came out Of kentucky That Dorian,
Speaker 1: baker their wide, receiver recently suffered an ankle fracture and,
Speaker 1: dislocation which is not good require. Surgery he's going to
Speaker 1: be out for a. WHILE i do have a dud
Speaker 1: to log talk about my Boy Benny. Snell. Dan, Okay Benny,
Speaker 1: snell solid running, back thirteen, touchdowns almost eleven hundred yards
Speaker 1: last year as a. Freshman m. Hm he's the focal
Speaker 1: point of the. Offense. Dan So i've been workshopping if
Speaker 1: you here we go. SLOGANS i didn't find a whole
Speaker 1: lot here in the range of, options BUT i, LIKE
Speaker 1: i like Mack schnell a little bit of A german
Speaker 1: spin on. It In, German macksnell means to go, faster
Speaker 1: make it.
Speaker 2: Quick, okay if you have, to if you need that,
Speaker 2: colon if you need that, parentheses if you need that,

Speaker 2: give me number. Two, no That's i'm saying.
Speaker 1: That, no that's. It that's. It THAT'S i thought About Snell.
Speaker 1: Hell but that's just that's. Cheesy you. KNOW i want
Speaker 1: a real, joke a real, slogan a real pun that
Speaker 1: we can go. With what about what About benny and The? Jets,
Speaker 1: no because The jets. March now we're cultured on this.
Speaker 1: Show we gotta Go. German snell The roses now they
Speaker 1: can't really go to the rose bony. Kid all. Right
Speaker 1: their run defense was disaster last. Year secondary is, okay
Speaker 1: they bring, Okay they've got really good. Corners they've got
Speaker 1: really good. Corners most of the front sevens. Back hopefully
Speaker 1: they're going to improve because there is some turnover in
Speaker 1: the second year that they're gonna have to contend. With
Speaker 1: BUT i Like. KENTUCKY i feel like they're a Fringe bowl.
Speaker 1: Team that's the WAY i. Feel six, wins six and.
Speaker 1: Six screw that eight and? FOUR? Whoa how about? That
Speaker 1: how about? THAT?
Speaker 2: Whoa talk about Liking Benny. Snell there are seniors everywhere
Speaker 2: on this. Team, ty how about? That eight and? Four
Speaker 2: they don't have much early on in the. Season they
Speaker 2: Host Florida september twenty, third they go To Missippi state To.
Speaker 2: STARKVILLE i mean the cross the cross division games are
Speaker 2: they Have Ole miss And Mississippi.
Speaker 1: State it's pretty, good, steabley that's pretty.
Speaker 2: Good as for cross divisional, games they Have louisville at
Speaker 2: home they beat last. Year they go To georgia and
Speaker 2: Two vandy and consecutive. Weeks tho's gonna be two relatively
Speaker 2: tough defensive. Matchups BUT i like The. WOW i think
Speaker 2: it's rain and men In.
Speaker 1: Kentucky how about. That that's a very weird thing to.
Speaker 1: Say BUT i don't, know.
Speaker 2: Because just there there's a lot of, seniors there's a
Speaker 2: lot of. Upperclassmen So, Okay i'm rolling eight and. Four
Speaker 2: i'm gonna go six and, six, whatever ty. Whatever and then.
Speaker 1: That brings us to our final, Team. Vanderbilt yes the. Doors,
Speaker 1: dan would you believe me IF i told you that
Speaker 1: we're in year four Of Derek mason AT. Vandae, wow time,
Speaker 1: flies time does. Fly year four Of Derek mason At.
Speaker 1: Vandy it was rocky in the beginning last. Year we
Speaker 1: started getting twinges of, Like, wow this guy can, coach
Speaker 1: or at a, Minimum, wow these guys really like this.
Speaker 1: Guy they're they're they're playing for, him they're fighting for.
Speaker 1: Him And i'll give him. This if you heard him
Speaker 1: AT sec media, days he is damn. Confident, yeah he's
Speaker 1: feeling pretty good about the direction of this. Program, look
Speaker 1: he's got some experience on the line coming. Back their
Speaker 1: best lineman's, gone but some experience coming. Back Kyle schrmer
Speaker 1: back at, Quarterback Ralph webb somehow back at running, back.
Speaker 2: Could set the all TIME sec rushing. Record he And
Speaker 2: Nick chubb are both pretty.
Speaker 1: Close feels like he's in That John stocko category of
Speaker 1: guys who never. Graduate, Yes Caleb scott is an exciting
Speaker 1: name out. WIDE i think the front and back of
Speaker 1: their defense should be. Fine linebacking needs to be pretty much,
Speaker 1: retooled but as a whole should be a pretty good.
Speaker 1: Defense they were a top forty unit last, year a
Speaker 1: top twenty team inside the red. Zone Derek mason's done
Speaker 1: a good job coaching up that. Defense so you, KNOW
Speaker 1: i don't know what the ceiling is. HERE i don't
Speaker 1: know if there's A bowl team, AGAIN i could see
Speaker 1: him five and, seven six and, six somewhere in that.
Speaker 1: Range BUT i think as a, whole good things are
Speaker 1: happening At. Vanderbilt and Like Derek mason has plenty of wigger.
Speaker 1: Room it's not like they're going to get rid of this.
Speaker 1: GUY i think they got a steal with bringing him
Speaker 1: over From.
Speaker 2: Stanford do you know who basically had an ideal stat
Speaker 2: line last year within THE Sec east To Kyle, shermer
Speaker 2: it's your, Beloved you're gonna tell, Me Jacob, eson it's
Speaker 2: your beloved If vandy and, listen Losing Zach cunningham is crazy,
Speaker 2: huge that's nothing you want to deal with as a.
Speaker 1: Defense he was such a an incredible.
Speaker 2: Playmaker but if that defense once, again and we're talking
Speaker 2: about men, tie we are talking about raining men on
Speaker 2: This vandy. Defense upperclassmen everywhere, offensively if they are, OKAY i,
Speaker 2: mean they hung with pretty much everybody last, year right
Speaker 2: other THAN i know they sort of let. Loose they
Speaker 2: got killed By Georgia, tech but they hung against good.
Speaker 2: Teams they hung With. AUBURN i think that was like
Speaker 2: a twenty two to sixteen type. Game if their defense
Speaker 2: is just it's all, right or excuse, me the offense
Speaker 2: is just all. Right Kyle shermer is a little bit
Speaker 2: better than he was last year with what we Know
Speaker 2: Derek mason could put on the. Field, DEFENSIVELY i don't.
Speaker 2: Know this is it's a bowl team at the very least,
Speaker 2: time all, RIGHT i hope, SO i.
Speaker 1: Hope so they also LIKE Nc state in their bowl
Speaker 1: game last, year which is, fine. WHATEVER i like.
Speaker 2: THIS i like that the lower class which is a
Speaker 2: bad term for BUT i like that the final tier
Speaker 2: of THE sec has gotten so much.
Speaker 1: BETTER i like. That, YEAH i. AGREE i think it's
Speaker 1: a very it's always a solid, conference, Right but the
Speaker 1: knock on THE sec in years, PAST i don't know
Speaker 1: about the middle, class but, yeah the knock on the
Speaker 1: on THE sec though in years past has always been
Speaker 1: that the, bottom the bottom is really. Low it's it's
Speaker 1: a top heavy, conference and that was fair. CRITICISM i
Speaker 1: feel like the bottom has really has really come up.
Speaker 1: Here it's a lot higher floor in twenty seventeen than
Speaker 1: in some years, past which is.
Speaker 2: Why they weirdlyc they weirdly have sort of flip with
Speaker 2: THE pac twelve in that. Way, yeah totally where THE pac,
Speaker 2: TWELVE i, mean the quarterback situation THE pac twelve is
Speaker 2: very good this, year but beyond, that it's a very
Speaker 2: top heavy. Conference in years, past it was like, wow every,
Speaker 2: week you, know you have all these like six and,
Speaker 2: six eight and four teams whatever in THE pac Twelve
Speaker 2: south and Stand, Ford norgan and nor. Like it seemed
Speaker 2: like that was the calling card of THE pac. Twelve
Speaker 2: and now this year quarterback, dependent it looks like THE
Speaker 2: sec is in a better place FOR tv entertainment tie
Speaker 2: and that is a good thing as far as we are.
Speaker 2: Concerned speaking of, entertainment let's put a BOW tv on
