1
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: And what man lay kick is live. It is Sunday night,

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: October eighteenth, the year of Our Lord twenty twenty. Absolutely

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: wild weekend which included me having to stay down in

4
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: Georgia because of, as I will delicately put it, particular issues.

5
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: But hey, I got monitors all over the place. I

6
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: got TVs just like you do, so I saw everything

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: last night. We got a ton to get to. Sunday

8
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: nights are always jam packed. If you haven't already subscribed

9
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: to the twenty four to seven Sports YouTube channel, we

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: are only loading this thing up more and more as

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: the weeks go by. Also follow me on Twitter now

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: more than ever. Very important there. We are dropping a

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: lot of our best bets over there. We had another

14
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: one yesterday morning that we added late. We got the

15
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: number we wanted on pitt We'd been waiting for that

16
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: and so we got that one. Went two and three

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: on the week. Overall, still sitting at fifty nine percent

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: on the year, so we are very happy with where

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: we are to this point. At late Kick Josh is

20
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: where you can follow me on Twitter. We got Bama

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: Georgia wall to wall reaction tonight, South Carolina takes down Auburn.

22
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: We predicted that one. Kentucky takes down Tennessee. We didn't

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: quite predict that one. It's not a laughing matter, I understand. Also,

24
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: we got a number of other games I just want

25
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: to skim the surface of. We try and hit as

26
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: much as we can on the Sunday Show, but we

27
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: try and get in depth on the stuff that probably

28
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: matters the most in terms of the national pulse. So

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: we're going to do all that and more. Let's dive

30
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: right in. There's obviously nowhere else we could start other

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: than Tuscaloosa Alabama. Alabama a forty one to twenty four

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 1: win over the Georgia Bulldogs last night. Sometimes we kick

33
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 1: off our game reviews with Padlock stats. The padlock stat

34
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: if you're unfamiliar with the show, and subscribe here if

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you haven't already. If you're new, the padlock stat is

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: just this. It is if I were to have folded

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: up a piece of paper, put in an envelope and

38
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: delivered it to you Friday, and you opened that up

39
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: and it showed you just one stat that was going

40
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: to come from that Saturday's game, you would use only

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: that stat and you'd be able to predict the winner. Well,

42
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: I think we had a padlock stat here. Could be

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: a few of them, but I look at one in particular,

44
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: and that is this. Stetson Bennett threw the ball forty

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: times for Georgia. If you told me that, I would

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: have told you Alabama's probably had a pretty good night

47
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: against Georgia, and they did. Listen, I'm gonna go back.

48
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: I don't do the whole I told you so think

49
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: because we get stuff wrong here just like anyone else does.

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: But we have been adamant and we have not been

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: deterred by a lot of the criticism in the comment

52
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: section about our opinion of Stetson Bennett. I got one,

53
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: you got one. That's fine, But we have backed ours

54
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: up and I've backed mine nub with I think pretty

55
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: logic based reasoning, and the reasoning is simply this. It's

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 1: not hating on the guy. I love Stetson Bennett. I'd

57
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: love form to run for president and get elected one day.

58
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett has never been, and will not be at

59
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: any point this year, a quarterback capable of winning an

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: SEC title at Georgia. What he is capable of is

61
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: when he has proper support beating Auburn when he has

62
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: proper support, he is capable of beating Tennessee. But you

63
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: see what he's not capable of doing is going toe

64
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: to toe with not mac Jones, cause those guys weren't

65
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: on the field at the same time, but trading points.

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: He's not capable. When you get him out in the

67
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: deeper water, and you get that Georgia offense out in

68
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: the deeper water like Alabama did last night, that's not

69
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: an offense when piloted by him. That's gonna trade shots

70
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,519
Speaker 1: with an elite offense. It's never been that way, Okay,

71
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: and so we've pointed that out. But since they were winning,

72
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 1: no one ever wants to talk about potential flaws when

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: teams win. Well, now George has lost a game, and

74
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: so now I look and it's the seesaw effect. Okay.

75
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: Now we've been not as high on Stetson Bennett as

76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: other people. Well, now folks want to crap all over him.

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: So we're probably a little bit higher on Stetson Bennett

78
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: now than some of you apparently are, judging by the

79
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: aforementioned comment section today. But listen, this was not hard

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: to see coming. Guys. We spent an inordinate amount of time. Probably, Colin,

81
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: you're not in my room here. I don't know why.

82
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm looking off to the side. I'm looking in the

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: lamp right now, and I'm pretending the lamp as you, Colin.

84
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Did we not talk at nauseum last week? Yeah, exactly,

85
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: you're shacking your head. Did we not talk at nauseum

86
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: about tipped balls in this game last week? How hard

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: was this to see coming? Stetson Bennet's not a tall guy.

88
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: Alabama had to have watched that success he's had over

89
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: the middle of the field. I'm not telling you anything

90
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: you don't already know. I'm not going to spend a

91
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: lot of time on this, but tip balls were going

92
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: to be a problem in this game for him, and

93
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: they were early and often. I think they had five

94
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: or six total in the game, one of them early

95
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: for a turnover. So the point is, Stetson ben at

96
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: last night was not asked to win this game on

97
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: his own. And here's here's something I took away. I

98
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: heard Jake Rose say this earlier today over on Dogs

99
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: twenty four to seven. He you know, sometimes a quarterback

100
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 1: could be asked to do everything, and that wasn't the

101
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: case here. Georgia ran the ball pretty darn well. Georgia

102
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: played as good a defense as you can hope to

103
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: play against Alabama. They had the lead at half, guys,

104
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: and I don't know what more you could ask for there.

105
00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: But what Jake said is very, very accurate. He said

106
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: Stetson Bennett got as much support as any Georgia quarterback's

107
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: ever gotten playing against Alabama. The run game was there.

108
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: I think they averaged over five per Carrey. Receivers were open,

109
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean big time open in some cases. It's just

110
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: that there are limitations in this offense as long as

111
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: stets In Bennet's quarterback. I'm not gonna spend a ton

112
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 1: of time on that. I just wanted to mention that

113
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: and kick it off here. But I'll tell you who

114
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: can win an SEC championship with their quarterback, and that's Alabama.

115
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. I don't know if I've seen a bigger

116
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: statement game from one individual this entire college football season

117
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: as I did him last night. It is my opinion

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: that Georgia's defense is still today the best in the country.

119
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: I just think Alabama's that good. I was in this.

120
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: I've got to be honest with you, I was a

121
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: little bit in disbelief as to what they were able

122
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: to do. Last night. I'm down here in Georgia. I'm

123
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: actually at my mom and dad's house, and I sat

124
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: there on the couch with my dad last night watched

125
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: this thing, and you're just you're thinking about how real

126
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: it is because of what they lost this last year.

127
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 1: Think about not knowing you know, it's Alabama just a

128
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: generic team. Tell yourself that team lost a first round

129
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: quarterback to a tongue of Iowa. They lost a couple

130
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: of high first round wide receivers and Rugs and Judy.

131
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: And now here's what they're gonna do the next year

132
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: against elite defenses. One now, in particular in Georgia, they're

133
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: gonna take mac Jones. I mean, they get the number

134
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 1: one quarterback in the country in Bryce Young. He's not

135
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: even the one who's gonna start. Mac Jones is gonna start.

136
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 1: He's waited his turn there. Mac Jones was a four

137
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: star quarterback. We have told you this all year. This

138
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: is not some stop gap. He's not some game manager.

139
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: He is an elite quarterback. He has the physical tools. Okay,

140
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: he's not some dudeh's dinking and dunking it and let's

141
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: just hope Waddle takes it sixty yards after the catch.

142
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: That's not mac Jones. He can do that, but he

143
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: can do a lot more too. Not only are they

144
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: performing well above expectation, that doesn't look like they've missed

145
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: a beat. Check out what they did yesterday. Again, I

146
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: want to reiterate I have not had my opinion erode

147
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: it about this Georgia defense. Whatsoever? Mack Jones was twenty four?

148
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Where is it? Twenty four to thirty two for four

149
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: hundred and seventeen through the air, four touchdowns and doing

150
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: all that after what they lost last year? You want

151
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: some padlock stats? What if I were to give you

152
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: this combo? What if I were to tell you Mac

153
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna throw for over four hundred and Naja

154
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: Harris is gonna run for over one fifty. That was

155
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: a good game from Naja Harris. And I want to also,

156
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna talk about him a whole

157
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: lot more. We talked about how versatile Naja Harris is

158
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: and the entire package that he brings. And if you

159
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: were to talk to Kirby Smart and a lot of

160
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: these folks who were building Naja Harris up during the week.

161
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: They're not just talking about his ability to run, it's

162
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: his ability to catch out of the backfield. But how

163
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 1: many blocks did you see? How many blitzers did you

164
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: see him and Miller forest All pick up last night?

165
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: Forrest All going out of the game early, I thought

166
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: was gonna hurt Alabama. And they got him back in

167
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: and they probably got seventy percent of him, but they

168
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: got enough of him. I couldn't even stand up after

169
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: he received the pass. But he received the pass and

170
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: he picked up blitzing linebackers, and that, along with that

171
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: offensive line, gave Mac Jones time to do whatever he

172
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: wanted to. In a lot of cases, Waddle and Smith

173
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: both went over one hundred and sixty yards receiving. I

174
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: was having a conversation this morning with someone. We always

175
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: do this. It's me and a buddy who he's got

176
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: a background in scouting, and it's always who's the best

177
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: football player on the field, and we both said DeVante Smith.

178
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: But it was also a one B because Alex Leatherwood

179
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: last night he was already going to be a first

180
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: round draft pick. Alex Leatherwood could take that game from

181
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: last night and just enshrine it, just freeze it, and

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: make that his tape until the end of time. Alex

183
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: Leatherwood is an animal, complete and total monster last night

184
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and just all over the place, every little game clip,

185
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: every little piece of film, pass pro run blocking does

186
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: it all so that guy. Not that he needed any

187
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: more validation, But if anyone out there said, still got

188
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: to see Alex Leatherwood do it against it lead edge rushers,

189
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: you gotta see him do it against an elite defensive line,

190
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Well there you go. You got it. Like I said,

191
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: that offensive line put on a clinic last night. I

192
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 1: know it had to pain Kirby Smart to stand at

193
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: that podium, the visitors podium for the first time, maybe

194
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: outside of like a day when he used to coach there,

195
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: stand at that visitor's podium and know that think about this.

196
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: This is not a point that was lost on me.

197
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: We spent all week last week talking about the twenty

198
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: four to seven Sports New Team Talent composite, and this

199
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: was the first time that Alabama was going to face

200
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: a team that is equally as talented as them, maybe

201
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: a smidge more talented. Now the quarterback position was going

202
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,719
Speaker 1: to render that a little irrelevant. That's why Bama was

203
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: favored by six points at kickoff. But the point is,

204
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: you weren't gonna just have your way with Georgia. You

205
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: didn't think so physically. And Kirby Smart has now built

206
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: five years building that roster, and he's focused put a

207
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: premium on offensive line, defensive line. He understands as well

208
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: as anyone how you went in this league. So think

209
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: about all that. That's the back up. And then he

210
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: had to step to that podium last night and look

211
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: his fan base in the eye and looked at beat

212
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: in the eye and say they out physical us on

213
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. At least that offensive line pretty

214
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: badly out physical us on the line of scrimmage. I

215
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: think that surprised them. I certainly don't think they took

216
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: Alabama's offensive line for granted. I think they had supreme

217
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: amounts of respect. But the point is that's for everyone else.

218
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: It respects one thing, but changing who you are, changing

219
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: what you do because of the other team, that's when

220
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: you're outmanned. That's when you do that. Georgia doesn't believe

221
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: they need to do that. Georgia doesn't believe they need

222
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: to change who they are for anyone. I talked about

223
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: this last week and Alabama made them. Alabama made him

224
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: adjust a little bit. They brought blitzes like they normally do.

225
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: There's a tight end to pick him up, there's five

226
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,719
Speaker 1: right there to pick him up, there's Najia Harris to

227
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: pick him up. Mac Jones still time to throw. So

228
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: I think they were a little bit surprised by that.

229
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, what a clinic. An absolute clinic

230
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: devastation all night long the Alabama offensive line. And like

231
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: I said, that hurts Kirby Smart to say they out physical.

232
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: That's five years in. That hurts him to say, because

233
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: that is the focus three hundred and sixty five days

234
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: a year in their roster management to get ready for

235
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: situations like that. I go back sometimes I'll I'll just

236
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: watch games and I'll take notes live because what I

237
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 1: can't stand is I can't stand people who will watch

238
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: a game like last night and then Alabama will run

239
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: away with in second half and they'll in revisionist history fashion,

240
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: say man, I knew this was over early. No you didn't, No,

241
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: you didn't, I didn't. I can tell you that because

242
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: Georgia had a lead at the half from the game

243
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: I saw, unless your replay looks different than mine, you

244
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: got an alternate box score. I thought Georgia should feel

245
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: really good about where they were at the half. Could

246
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: you have scripted a better start? Let me first say,

247
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: Lebrian Ray being out of this game, who has been

248
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: the most dependable player on that Alabama front. I thought

249
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: that spelled trouble for Alabama and as a result, it

250
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: really didn't all that much. I'm not saying they didn't

251
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: miss him. I'm just saying it didn't cost him the

252
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: game or anything along those lines. A turnover on the

253
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: first play, so you defer, you get the turnover. You essentially,

254
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: you know they pointed out in the broadcast accurately, so

255
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: you're getting to start with both possessions with the ball.

256
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: How could you not have loved that? How could you

257
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,959
Speaker 1: not have loved being up twenty four to twenty at

258
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: the half? And I really felt like they had exerted

259
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of a physical toll in Alabama and

260
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: their offense. Georgia's offense had really started to find a

261
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: little rhythm there. And there have been times this year

262
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: if you're an Alabama fan, you've watched that team where

263
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: once a team catches a groove against him, you just

264
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: worry we're gonna have trade points the rest of the night.

265
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: Because this defense hasn't shown me very much in the

266
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: ability to, you know, put the foot in the ground

267
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: a little bit and get some traction and pitch a

268
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: shutout or three or seven points in the second half.

269
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,439
Speaker 1: So I thought they were in a good position at

270
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: the half, and that field goal by Alabama, it gave

271
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: him some juice and it took a little bit of

272
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: juice one of the Georgia side. But I mean they

273
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: had a twenty four to twenty lead and there's Alabama's defense.

274
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: One of the more pleasantly surprising second halves I've seen

275
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: this year is Alabama's defense being in a vulnerable position.

276
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: I'll get back to that, and they pitch a shutout

277
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: in the second half and force some turnovers, and that

278
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: was a collective effort. I mean, that was Bama's offense scoring,

279
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: getting Georgia in a position, like we talked about with Bennett,

280
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: where they had to trade points. It's not a place

281
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: Georgia wants to be right now. It's not a place

282
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: they're equipped to be right now. But do you remember

283
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: what happened last week? You remember Georgia disposed of Tennessee

284
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: fairly easily, whereas Alabama had to scratch and claw and

285
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: just like bear crawl over broken shards of glass to

286
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: get a win against Old Miss. They were on the field,

287
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: I think defensively eighty five or eighty six plays something

288
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 1: like that. I thought it set up ripe for Georgia

289
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: physically to maybe take over a second half, and that

290
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: just never materialized. That's what made it so improbable. Alabama's

291
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,559
Speaker 1: defense has struggled this year, and not only did they

292
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: find their footing in the second half, they played the

293
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: best ball they've played all year in the second half.

294
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: So huge amounts of praise go to that Alabama defense

295
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: and Pete Golden Listen, they still got a ton of

296
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: issues to rectify, Don't get me wrong. Like I said

297
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: with Jake Row, he accurately pointed out, there were open

298
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: receivers for a lot of the night. I mean, there

299
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: were again busts from running backs out of the backfield.

300
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: Alabama's got a lot defensively to clean up. But at

301
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: least you know they have players over there and at least,

302
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of fortitude, man, the stuff in

303
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: here that's not necessarily found on a grease board. They

304
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: showed some of that last night. You know, for Georgia,

305
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I couldn't help think this in the immediate aftermath. A

306
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: lot was made last year after the SEC title game,

307
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: the fact they played LSU pretty tough in the first half,

308
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: and yet with all that in mind, they still didn't

309
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: have enough gas in the second half. They just couldn't

310
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: keep up. LSU pulled away from them. So you bring

311
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: in the new offensive coordinator, you try and go get

312
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: transferred quarterbacks. That didn't exactly work out how you expected

313
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: it too, but an emphasis was placed in the offseason

314
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: of let's pressure the quarterback more and let's upgrade our offense,

315
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: let's enhance our offense. And you do it with these

316
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: sorts of games in mind. And you know, we're still

317
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: pretty early. We've only played four games since that date, really,

318
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: if you don't count the bowl game and whatnot. But

319
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: this was eerily reminiscent to me. You guys can tell

320
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. It was eerily reminiscent of that

321
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 1: LSU SEC Title game difference in the magnitude difference, maybe

322
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: in the style of quarterback, but what did we have

323
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: when we had a competitive first half? Georgia even had

324
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the lead in this first half, and you get in

325
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 1: the second half and a great offense did what great

326
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: offenses at this level do. You will not shut them down,

327
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: you will not hold them under thirty ever unless they

328
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: help you out with turnovers, and you couldn't trade points.

329
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: So in a lot of ways, Georgia fans really aggravated today,

330
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: and I get it. I get it because you could

331
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: look at them and you could say, you know, you

332
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: guys ought to be grateful. And it's not that they're

333
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: not grateful, but you got to understand something. If you

334
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: have watched this game for a while, if you've watched

335
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: the sport for a while, you understand you'd never take

336
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: elite units for granted. Now we're talking about Bama's offense.

337
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Georgia knows they've got an elite defensive unit. And here's

338
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: what they're worried about. They're worried that it's going to

339
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: be wasted. Auburn has wasted some elite defenses recently because

340
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: they could not figure things out on offense, and so

341
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Georgia looks right now and they look at all of

342
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: that talent and all of that juice over there on defense,

343
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 1: and yet if you can't score, man like, if you

344
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: can't pressure folks offensively, we are not limiting teams to

345
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 1: under thirty Alabama, you know LSU last year. The best

346
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: ones the ones we have to go through. If we're

347
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: Georgia to win a national talk, you can't. You can't

348
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: do that. And so if you're a Georgia fan this morning,

349
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: you're looking around your standing. Okay, we got all this

350
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: talent over here, but man, we could also have justin

351
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: fields on this team. I'm not playing that game. I

352
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: know you guys do. I don't play that game, but

353
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 1: you guys do. That's fine. The bottom line as they

354
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: hadn't gotten quarterback figured out, and so that's the big

355
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: worry is will this defense end up being wasted? Don't

356
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: just assume. Don't just assume you're going to do defensively

357
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: what Bama's done offensively. We'll just reload will be the

358
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 1: exact same. That is, That is a mirage. I mean,

359
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 1: you chase that and you'll end up chasing that forever.

360
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: That's so rare to do. So, man, the big question

361
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: now obviously becomes J T. Daniels. When are we going

362
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: to see him? I find it kind of funny that

363
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people I don't think are informed on

364
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 1: the matter. Really they can't be, they keep calling for J. T. Daniels.

365
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how much planner we can put this.

366
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: I think rusting the guys over on the Dogs twenty

367
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: four to seven side have done a great job in

368
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 1: explaining Daniels has not been an option. JT. Daniels is

369
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,719
Speaker 1: not ready to play yet. You can disagree with that.

370
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: You can ask for sources or whatever. They're well sourced

371
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: over there. He hasn't been ready to play. It's just

372
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: not an option right now. So the other thing that man,

373
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: before we move on here, Steve Sarkisian was up for

374
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: some job, the Mississippi State job. He was up for

375
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: the Mississippi State job, and Saban was able to keep him.

376
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: I mean, is there a guy earning his keep more

377
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,959
Speaker 1: as a coordinator this year than Steve Sarkisian. That is

378
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: as good, that's as lethal an offense as we've seen,

379
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: and you know it is over just personnel making him

380
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: look good because they lost all the best players from

381
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: last year, the skilled players, the quarterback, and it still

382
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: looks the same. Okay, let's continue to move here. South

383
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: Carolina beats Auburn thirty to twenty two. We liked South

384
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 1: Carolina to win this game outright. I explained to you

385
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 1: why I saw it was a short number. It was

386
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 1: three and a half points. It dropped to like two

387
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: and a half by game time. But I didn't see

388
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,719
Speaker 1: any reason why Auburn should be favored. They haven't controlled

389
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 1: a game all year. They are very fortunate to have

390
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 1: come into this game. What were they two and one

391
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 1: that they didn't control Kentucky? But they got turnovers and

392
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,959
Speaker 1: there was some questionable calls in that game, but they

393
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: won the game. And then we had the Arkansas debacle

394
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: last week, which I just chalk up is straight up

395
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: loss that looks like a win on your resume. And

396
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: then they come into this game and they had big problems. Again,

397
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: they're big problems at Auburn. But we don't talk about

398
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: the losers first. We talk about the winners first. So

399
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 1: we didn't see any reason why Auburn should be favored.

400
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: So we took Carolina to cover. We took Carolina to

401
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: whim think about the criticism from myself and a number

402
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: of people who root for Carolina and who cover Carolina.

403
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: It's been what's the identity? This is not this year,

404
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: this is several years running. What's the offensive identity of

405
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: this team? And I don't know ultimately that where they're

406
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: going will look like what they did yesterday. But Mike

407
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Bobo is smart enough not to try and shoehorn all

408
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: these players into his system. He understands what he has

409
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: right now, and so they played to those strengths yesterday.

410
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: They had an excellent plan. Kentucky and Georgia showed the

411
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: world you can just run between the tackles against Auburn.

412
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: You may not run for five hundred yards, but you

413
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: don't have to if you play opportunistic defense. That's everything

414
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: they did yesterday. Be patient, run the ball, stick to

415
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 1: that game plan, and then be opportunistic. Because I can

416
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: tell you another thing we know about Auburn. They are

417
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: going to provide you opportunities defensively, and they did yesterday.

418
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: I mean they ran it. They being South Carolina forty

419
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: three times for one hundred and fifty three yards, and

420
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: then they got the Auburn mistakes. There's bo Nicks again

421
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 1: three more interceptions. He has been average at best this year. Historically,

422
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: he's been far below average on the road and field

423
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: position in those drives that started off turnovers, field position

424
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: was very good for Carolina and they took advantage of it.

425
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, I've wondered for a couple of weeks now,

426
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: which of these teams could be Carolina, Iowa State, go Cyclones.

427
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 1: Which of these teams that were left for dead early

428
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: this year in an unprecedented year. Who's going to write

429
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: off teams early and then see him get off the deck?

430
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: Carolina was one of those teams. This team going into

431
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: the Vanderbilt game last week, I thought that was a

432
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: must win. I don't disagree with myself rarely I do

433
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: or rarely do I, but they needed to win that one.

434
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: If they didn't, there was talk of an zero to

435
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: five start. Well they're two and two. Now they're two

436
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: and two, and you know what they do this week?

437
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 1: They go to LSU. So that's going to be interesting

438
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: because LSU is off a bye an unscripted by but

439
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: by j. C. Horn had such a good game here

440
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: that Auburn targeted him. That's their best corner. Maybe one

441
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: of the best players on Carolina's team, and they targeted him.

442
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to question game planning. I don't even

443
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: know that that was the game plan. Who in the

444
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: world knows but j C. Horn. He made himself some

445
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: money yesterday too. I listened to Gus Maleson's post game

446
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: It was as dejected as I've ever heard him, and

447
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of Gus Maleson postgame pressers. He

448
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: knows they don't have a fastball. And if you're watching

449
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: the Major League Baseball playoffs right now, everybody who's still

450
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 1: alive has a fastball. They don't have one. What do

451
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:54,120
Speaker 1: they do? Do they play elite defense? No? Do they

452
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: have an elite running game. They got a guy who's

453
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: an emerging back in tant Bigsby, but he's true freshman.

454
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: So I mean, at the very least, we can say

455
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 1: their run game isn't what they expected it to because

456
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: I don't think they expected Bigsby to be their one

457
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: A option there. They certainly don't have an elite passing game.

458
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: They are the ones, the Auburn Tigers being the ones

459
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: now who kind of lack an overall identity offensively and

460
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: Malson knows that, and he also knows let me tell

461
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: you something. That team's fortunate. They're not OH to four

462
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: right now, they're two and two. That team, right there

463
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 1: is a one in three OH to four caliber team

464
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: masquerading as a two and two team. They cannot control games,

465
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,360
Speaker 1: they cannot avoid the costly mistakes. And Auburn had three

466
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: trips in the resume yesterday that resulted in I think

467
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: three field goals. So not the best of days there,

468
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: and they've got a lot of soul searching to do.

469
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: Like I said, that's a two and two team, could

470
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: be an OH to four team. And afterwards, sure enough,

471
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: there was Malson. If you've covered Auburn, if you've followed Auburn,

472
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: I've covered him for a while, so I know this

473
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,479
Speaker 1: like clockwork. Every time they lose a game, Gus Malson

474
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: will step two the nearest microphone and he will say

475
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: version of this sentence, I promise you, we're going to

476
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: get better. I promise you we're going to improve from this.

477
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: We're going to be better because of this. And he

478
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: said it yesterday, we will improve. I promise you. That

479
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: was the exact quote, and many times he said that.

480
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: I've wondered, how do you know? How do you how

481
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: can you promise that? Will you sign a piece of

482
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: paper that says that, of course not? It is coach speak.

483
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's any real reason to expect that.

484
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: What young talent on this team? Are you waiting for

485
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: it to emerge? You've got Bigsby and I understand that,

486
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: but I mean Seth Williams is who he is. He's

487
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: your number one target out wide. Bo Nix largely is

488
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: who he is. At this point. That offensive line ceiling

489
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: is probably average at best. You lost your quarterback of

490
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 1: your defense, and so I don't know. Auburn. The other

491
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: thing to remember about them before we move on, they

492
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 1: have not recruited at an elite level. They've recruited good,

493
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 1: but they do not have this championship caliber roster or

494
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: championship caliber depth to where they can go into a

495
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: game against Carolina, for example, and bring their B minus

496
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: effort and just rely on their roster, just rely on

497
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: their helmet to win out. That's not Auburn. They got

498
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: to execute, and they didn't yesterday and Carolina did, so

499
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: congratulations to one must jump. How about this one? Not

500
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: a typo Kentucky thirty four, Tennessee seven. I'm not going

501
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: to spend a ton of time on this, but I

502
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: just wanted to talk about easily the most baffling result

503
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 1: that I saw yesterday. I mean, we got a credit Kentucky,

504
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Like we said Winters first, we got a credit Kentucky.

505
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: They forced mistakes, and man did they capitalize. They jumped

506
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: on Tennessee. And it's important to note there were two

507
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: teams on the field yesterday and one of them was

508
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: totally sure of themselves and it wasn't the team in orange.

509
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: And that is a disappointment. That's a big I don't

510
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: care what kind of loss you're coming off, that's a

511
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: big disappointment. This Kentucky team did not come out of

512
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: the gates on fire this year. But they know who

513
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: they are. They absolutely know who they are. And as

514
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: soon as you put just a little bit of blow,

515
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: you like paper cut your inde finger blood in the water,

516
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: here they come. They're like fifteen sharks on you. And

517
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. This was nothing short of a

518
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: meltdown offensively, especially at quarterback for Tennessee. I watched this game.

519
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe what I was watching and Jarrett Guarantano.

520
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: It's unfortunate if you think about the last eight quarters

521
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 1: of play for Tennessee, all of which he hasn't been

522
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 1: involved in. Guarantano did not play a bad first half

523
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: against Georgia when you started the second half. From that

524
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: point through this game, he's been pretty bad. And he

525
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: threw two early interceptions there. I knew. I mean, I

526
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: think everyone watching the game knew at that point, all right, Peru,

527
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: it's going to make a move, because I mean, the

528
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: game was getting away from him. As it turns out,

529
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: the game was already over, but the game was getting

530
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,400
Speaker 1: away from him, and so he did make a move.

531
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. Moves don't automatically equal improvement because

532
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: you bring in Shroud and boom another interception. So three

533
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: in the first half there in Kentucky's turning them all

534
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 1: into points. And at that point it said, Kentucky is

535
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: not this kind of team that is ultra week defensively,

536
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: and don't worry, we can spot him a three score lead,

537
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: we'll reel him in in the second half. That's not Kentucky.

538
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: That's not Kentucky at all. Kentucky when they get a

539
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: lead on you. Instead of being like chest to chest

540
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: to you, they just stick their arm way out and

541
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: they got you by the throat and you're like a

542
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: ten year old. It's like it's like if when you're

543
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: an older brother and you're holding your little brother at

544
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: arm's length and he's trying to punch, and he's trying

545
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: to punch but he can't reach you. Listen, that's not

546
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: the way the SEC is supposed to work. Kentucky's not

547
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be the one holding Tennessee at arms length.

548
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: But through two things, number one giving them the ball

549
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: and number two of them taking full advantage of it.

550
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: That's exactly what happened yesterday. So it wasn't even disguised coverages. Man,

551
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: it was just it was so blatant. It was one

552
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:52,600
Speaker 1: of those where my grandma could watch it and say, man,

553
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: what is he looking at? What is he seeing? So

554
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: I just how how I know what? A lot of

555
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 1: you were asking, see, how's this the absolute best? Like?

556
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 1: How is this the quarterback situation? How does it turn

557
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 1: out to be like this? Listen? They're asking that at Georgia, okay,

558
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: and they've recruited top classes every year. That's why you

559
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: got to appreciate so much what Alabama's doing. They lose

560
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: a topper of all quarterback to the draft. They just

561
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 1: got another one there. Oh and if he doesn't pan out,

562
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: they got the number one player in the country there.

563
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 1: You've got to keep recruiting, you got to keep accepting transfers.

564
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: You got to just keep stacking guys. Let me tell you,

565
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: I know it looks dark right now, but it only

566
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: takes one. And that brings me to this week. They

567
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 1: play Alabama. They're going to get skull drugged by Alabama

568
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: this week. But who starts that game? Few Tennessee fans.

569
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 1: Who starts that game? I have no idea how this

570
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 1: is even a debate. How is the answer not Harrison Bailey?

571
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: How's he not starting against You're not going to beat Alabama.

572
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't expect them to be competitive against Alabama. But

573
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: my goodness, at this point, what are you salvaging by

574
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: putting Guarantano back out there or shroud mowers try transferring?

575
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: So I mean, what are you salvaging? You've got to

576
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: build them. You gotta work towards something. So I don't

577
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: get that that's even a debate. Here's something else that's

578
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 1: not a debate before we move on. This happens apparently

579
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: every time someone loses a game. Now my Twitter inbox

580
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: and just just mentions blow up with oh is it

581
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 1: time to start thinking about moving on from Jeremy Pruitt. No,

582
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: it's not. End of debate. If there was one Arkansas

583
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: thirty three Ole Miss twenty one, boy, oh boy. Sam

584
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: Pittman rightfully so gave a ton of praise to Barry

585
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: Otem in his postgame presser. Bary Odem was the head

586
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: coach at Missouri. That whole staff got fired. Barry Otam

587
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: is a defensive guy, and Pittman got him as his

588
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. And let me tell you this has since

589
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: become kind of public, but behind the scenes, LSU and

590
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 1: ed Orzron went after Odem hard and they wanted him

591
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: be Polini was not their first choice. I don't care

592
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 1: what they say publicly. They wanted Barry Otem, didn't get it.

593
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 1: Odam chose Sam Pittman, and Odam chose Arkansas. I think

594
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: we all see why LSU coveted Barry Odom so much.

595
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: Matt Carrall, that Ole Miss quarterback man just rained bombs

596
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: all over Alabama last week. Two touchdowns, which is not bad.

597
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: Six interceptions pretty bad. That's no boy no, no boyo

598
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: at all. And that's just a week after shredding Alabama.

599
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: And I had a coach that I was talking to

600
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: this week. That man, he basically laid out what Alabama

601
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: didn't do against Ole Miss and what Arkansas did do.

602
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: You got to humble yourself a little bit to do this,

603
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: and Barry Otem did. And that coach told me this,

604
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: He said, the key to defending Old Miss. It's not

605
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: hard in theory, it's hard to excute, it's hard to

606
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: commence players to do it. You got to stop worrying

607
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: about chasing the rabbits and you just got to defend

608
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: the hole. That's exactly what Arkansas did yesterday. Ole Miss

609
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: got some yards, Ole Miss got some easy first downs

610
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 1: at time, they didn't find the hole very often, did they?

611
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: Thirty three twenty one final there. Arkansas shut them out

612
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: in the first half. So Arkansas to me is a

613
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: three and one team right now. I know the record

614
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: says they're two and two. They won the Auburn game.

615
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: To me, so they're three and one. Felipe Franks was

616
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: twenty one to thirty four for two hundred and forty

617
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: four yards yesterday. So another solid performance there. This is

618
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 1: just it's not a bad football team. They are not

619
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: bad at all. And this was the one Remember that

620
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: the SEC league office threw into the Woodshipper in terms

621
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: of scheduling, then again last week in terms of an outcome,

622
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: and yet there they are. Then you got a lot

623
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: of much more high profile logos in the SEC that

624
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: would gladly trade places with him. Last one I wanted

625
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 1: to touch on in the SEC. A and M was

626
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: a twenty eight to fourteen winner over Mississippi State. And

627
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: you may say to yourself, big deal they're supposed to

628
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: do that. No, it is a big deal. It's a

629
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: very big deal. If you've watched late kick, you know,

630
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't just skim over your win if you were favored.

631
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't only talk about you if you win as

632
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: an underdog. Because let me tell you something, yesterday was

633
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: very important for Texas A and M. They came out

634
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: of that Florida win. It's an obvious letdown spot on

635
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: the road and it's do or die time for Mississippi State.

636
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: That's not an easy game. I don't care if you

637
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: think it is it's not. And the reason why I

638
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 1: believe in crediting teams when they do what they're supposed

639
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: to is cause I want you to think about two

640
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: different sides of the coin. Yesterday, ye had two teams,

641
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: one being A and M and the other being Tennessee,

642
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: who were in very similar spots. They were both four

643
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: or five six point some odd favorites, and yet think

644
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: about the two opposite directions things went an M one's

645
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: twenty eight fourteen Tennessee gets shellacked by Kentucky. This is

646
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: a so it's a classic credit where credit is due

647
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 1: kind of situation. kJ Costello quarterback form Misissippi State. Since

648
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: that Week one Heisman win, he has thrown ten picks.

649
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: He was taken out of this game for Will Rogers,

650
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: who I did not think played bad yesterday. But A

651
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: and M very workman like. I mean, this was not

652
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: one that you'll probably go back and watch replays of

653
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: a lot in the off season. But they had six

654
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and they had five more quarterback hurries, and it

655
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: was a big deal yesterday. And Isaiah Spiller can used

656
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: to be a big deal for them running back. They've

657
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 1: lost a lot of receivers to for several reasons, and

658
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: so they've started to find themselves a little bit. Spiller

659
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: was eighteen carries, one hundred and fourteen yards and two

660
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: more touchdowns yesterday and now and IM's gonna go quiet

661
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: for a little while. They got a bye week, and

662
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: then when they start up again, they play Arkansas and

663
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: then at South Carolina, so it may be a little

664
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 1: while before they play a game that's on your radar.

665
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: Just remember that's a one loss team and their one

666
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,520
Speaker 1: loss is to Alabama, and they played Alabama kind of

667
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: like Georgia did yesterday, So just keep an eye on

668
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: that A and M team. A couple of takeaways from

669
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: the ACC yesterday. My goodness, Notre Dame. I don't know

670
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: how many of you got eyeballs on this game, so

671
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: to speak. Notre Dame beat Louisville twelve to seven. So

672
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: here's here's a couple of things that you would think

673
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 1: if you were driving all day yesterday, or you just

674
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,480
Speaker 1: had better things to do, and you open up your

675
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: phone this morning, you yawned and you said, wait, what

676
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: happened to Notre Dame twelve to seven? They must play

677
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: in rain? No, they didn't rain. Ah, they must turn

678
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: the ball over a lot, no turnovers, twelve to seven.

679
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: That was the game, twelve to seven, Louisville, Louisville. You

680
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: know the one Miami went up and down the field

681
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: on Louisville. Yeah, Ian Book quarterback for Notre Dame, eleven

682
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,959
Speaker 1: of nineteen for one hundred and six yards. There's nothing hidden.

683
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: And what I'm trying to stress to you is there's

684
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: nothing hidden in the box score. There is no padlock

685
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: stat in other words, where you would open it and

686
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: you say, okay, now it makes sense. Now, this was

687
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: just a straight up game. Nothing hidden here. Notre Dame

688
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: had a sixty percent touchdown rate. Now that's what they

689
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: adjust to after this game. A sixty percent touchdown rate

690
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone. That's not very good. If you

691
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: don't keep up with such things. They get to the

692
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: red zone, can't punch it in. They kick field goals.

693
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: That's why this thing is twelve to seven instead of

694
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: twenty eight to seven. You know. The other thing that

695
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this game is if I were

696
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: to tell Scott saderfield, head coach at Louisville before this one,

697
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: are so badly in need of a win. If I

698
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: were to tell him Scott for the getting his ear

699
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: day before game. Scott, you're gonna hold Notre Dame to

700
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: twelve in South Bend? Will you take it? He takes

701
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: it one hundred times out of one hundred and would

702
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: bet his life that they are about to get a

703
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 1: program defining win. They didn't. Twelve to seven is the

704
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: final there, and this could be Louisville could be a

705
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: three to sevent team. I'm just kind of looking at

706
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: the rest of their way. They that's a disappointment. That

707
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: team's been a big disappointment this year. How about Florida State?

708
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,719
Speaker 1: How about Florida State over allegedly top five North Carolina.

709
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: Thirty one to twenty eight is the final. Florida State

710
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: led this one twenty four to nothing. It was on

711
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: during the Alabama Georgia game. I know a lot of

712
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: you may have not been watching this. Floyda. I don't

713
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,040
Speaker 1: know how to tell you this. Florida State kind of

714
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: owned the line of scrimmage. How about these numbers? Twenty

715
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: quarterback pressures not so far this year, friends, Twenty quarterback

716
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: pressures in this game and four sacks. Poor Sam Howell

717
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: was on the run all night. He probably thought they

718
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: had sixteen defenders on the field at times, and you

719
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,319
Speaker 1: got a credit Mike Norvell. This is not easy when

720
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: you play as badly as they've played. Think about starting

721
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: the way they did. They get embarrassed by Georgia Tech,

722
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: they end up getting run out of the building by

723
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: Miami and your first year head coach. So sometimes you

724
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: don't know if you have, if what you believe, if

725
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,760
Speaker 1: your culture and identity has taken hold with your team.

726
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: You can lose a locker room, and he hasn't because

727
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: I can tell you if he had lost the locker room,

728
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: you would not have gotten an inspired effort like they

729
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 1: got yesterday. North Carolina. They struggled to play complete games.

730
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: Let's just be honest about They were a big favorite

731
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 1: against Boston College. They couldn't pull away. They couldn't play

732
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: complete game against Virginia Tech, and yesterday bit them. They

733
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 1: didn't play complete game here obviously at all. It was

734
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: a valiant comeback effort that was stopped just short. But

735
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why you don't let someone build a

736
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: big lead on you. There were two of eleven on

737
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: third downs and oh of three on fourth downs, and

738
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: that I think pretty much tells the tale there. Florida

739
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: State goes to Louisville Saturday. So that's a team that

740
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: just got up off the deck and got themselves a

741
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: huge win, and that's another team badly in need of

742
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: a huge win. I also want to tell you this

743
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 1: so because I'm having to record this a little bit

744
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: earlier in the day so Colin can get it cut up,

745
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: I'm not including on this our best bet what you

746
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: need to do, our early best bet. We normally debut

747
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: that on Sunday night. I will be releasing that. I

748
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: may have already released it by the time you watch this,

749
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: if you haven't, it will be coming tonight at some point.

750
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 1: Early best Bet at least one, maybe more for this

751
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 1: upcoming week. We are hitting at fifty nine percent right

752
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: now against the number. We feel very good about where

753
