Speaker 1: try to make anything because every plate is live and
Speaker 1: to know they were leaving at the crack of the bat.

Speaker 1: the dB D. Angelo Ponds joined us a little bit later.
Speaker 1: But the game you just watched, the Oklahoma Sooners take
Speaker 1: down the number eighteen ou Sooners take down the number
Speaker 1: fourteen Volunteers by the score of thirty three twenty seven.
Speaker 1: Mattier had eight with nineteen of twenty nine one fifty
Speaker 1: nine no touchdowns one of the exceptions they got. Xavier Robinson
Speaker 1: had sixteen carries for a buck fifteen of the touchdown.
Speaker 1: John Mattier had sixteen carries for eighty yards in a touchdown,
Speaker 1: thirty five rush attempts one ninety two two touchdown, But
Speaker 1: it was Tennessee that could not get out of their
Speaker 1: own way. Aguilar had an outstanding day passing the football,
Speaker 1: but two very costly interceptions and he fomled the ball
Speaker 1: that went back for a touchdown. He was twenty nine
Speaker 1: or forty five, three ninety three, three touchdowns tour interceptions.
Speaker 1: They didn't run the ball well at all. Oklahoma Sooner
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on him. I don't know
Speaker 1: what the right tackle is thinking, because he gave up
Speaker 1: the sack. They got the quarterback hit, and then he
Speaker 1: gave him another sack that ended up getting them pushed,
Speaker 1: pushed them out of field goal right Jojo. And then
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out the full back. Bro, you
Speaker 1: damn there out of bounds and you ain't got your
Speaker 1: head around yet. So what do you think is gonna happen?
Speaker 1: What do you want? I mean, if he throw it
Speaker 1: to you out of bounds, it's incomplete, and then the
Speaker 1: ball hits you in the damn fase you on the football?
Speaker 1: You can't even then out of what he damned out
Speaker 1: of bounds? He damned on this, on this, he damned
Speaker 1: there about the high five Josh Heifel. I'm like, bro,
Speaker 1: get your head around, bro, and the ball hit him
Speaker 1: in his face. I'm like, Lord, have mercy. This explains
Speaker 1: why I cannot be a coach. Oh Joe, watching this game. Man, Look,
Speaker 1: Tennessee had this game in control because at one point
Speaker 1: in time, I think, oh, you had like less than
Speaker 1: one hundred yards. But they were like right there in
Speaker 1: the ball game because of the mistakes that Tennessee was making,
Speaker 1: leaving them in the ball game, and what happened. You
Speaker 1: leave a team around long enough, bad things are gonna happen.
Speaker 3: And that's actually, actually, this was a really good game.
Speaker 3: I enjoyed it the first second quarter, at the half,
Speaker 3: it was very close. It was going it was going
Speaker 3: back and forth, and I thought it was going to
Speaker 3: come down to the whoever had the ball last, and
Speaker 3: obviously Tennessee who had the better numbers Statistically, If if
Speaker 3: you don't look at the end of the score, you
Speaker 3: look at the stats, you would think that the Tennessee
Speaker 3: volunteers won this game because of what they were able
Speaker 3: to do offensively. But listen to intercessment killed them. That
Speaker 3: the right tackle, I'm not sure what he did. We
Speaker 3: allowed that end to come over when the when when
Speaker 3: he put he put the ball in the belly, he
Speaker 3: faked it and he came up.
Speaker 4: Ain't that dude hit him?
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I don't I don't know I don't think.
Speaker 1: First of all, I don't know why he stepped down
Speaker 1: on Yo. I don't know.
Speaker 4: There was no threat, no threat to even have to
Speaker 4: step down. The damn the damn in it is playing.
Speaker 4: Damn there at the nine, all the way out.
Speaker 1: He in the wide now he absolutely is. So there's nobody.
Speaker 1: There's nobody there the block.
Speaker 4: Not only do do they fumble, they picked the guy.
Speaker 1: Damn ball up and take that bitch all the way
Speaker 1: back and they couldn't get him on the ground. I'm like, damn,
Speaker 1: you just it. You've already made You've made a mistake.
Speaker 1: Don't exacerbate it. Just get him on.
Speaker 3: Ty was trying to get him on the grinding. He
Speaker 3: couldn't get him down. But outside of that, it was good.
Speaker 1: It was a good game.
Speaker 3: I was looking I was looking for Materier to do
Speaker 3: a little bit more through the air. I was looking
Speaker 3: for him a little bit more through the air.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 4: It didn't happen, but he didn't have to do much offensively.
Speaker 4: They had to.
Speaker 3: They had two turn up as well. Obviously the balls
Speaker 3: had three. Let me see penaltyes fucking Oklahoma had eleven
Speaker 3: for eleven for one oh four. So I'm thinking when
Speaker 3: you look at it, they were actually supposed to lose
Speaker 3: a game. And if I think if Tennessee could have
Speaker 3: minimized their toneovers, they would have had a better chance
Speaker 3: at making it either either a close game or actually
Speaker 3: winning this one.
Speaker 1: I mean, you look at ou oho nineteen first down,
Speaker 1: the twenty eight first down for Tennessee. Ou was four
Speaker 1: of ten on third down. Tennessee was better than fifty percent.
Speaker 1: They were seven and thirteen four hundred and fifty six yards,
Speaker 1: so they outgained about one hundred yards of total offense.
Speaker 1: But it was that one really costantly turnovers that led
Speaker 1: directly to points and they missed Remember they missed the
Speaker 1: field goal. Also, Tennessee missed the field goal. So you
Speaker 1: can't look, oh, you have a really good defense. Materials
Speaker 1: played starting to play a little better. He's starting to
Speaker 1: play like he did the first couple of games of
Speaker 1: the season before he got that injury. When he came back,
Speaker 1: he had kind of gotten out of rhythm. But if
Speaker 1: you look at him now, he's starting to play a
Speaker 1: little better. But when you turned the ball over and
Speaker 1: evenly matched teams, it's hard for you to overcome the stakes.
Speaker 1: It's really hard because you look at it. One is fourteen,
Speaker 1: the other is eighteen. And it's not like, oh, you
Speaker 1: A is a bad team. They're ranked right where they're
Speaker 1: supposed to be. They've got a very very good team.
Speaker 1: But I just think, I just think the ten, the
Speaker 1: turnovers tonight, the mythsque okay, fourth down, Bro, you stay
Speaker 1: on the field and you need that those are those
Speaker 1: are plays that you gotta have in a situation like that.
Speaker 1: You had to lead you within control of the ball game.
Speaker 1: Now you've given up control of the ball game through
Speaker 1: poor play and turnovers. Now you get an opportunity to
Speaker 1: see some of that momentum back, and you squandered that opportunity.
Speaker 1: Give oh you credit going on the road in a
Speaker 1: hostile environment and finding a way scratching and clog and
Speaker 1: finding a way to win. Oh yeah, and you know,
Speaker 1: you know it's funny, but uh yeah, Ilar made some
Speaker 1: good plays. I mean, what what urts me? Not just
Speaker 1: with college football but even NFL. You why you're running backwards, bro,
Speaker 1: you and feel goa range and you're gonna take yourself
Speaker 1: out of field goal range trying to make a play.
Speaker 1: You not Lamar Jackson. Every everybody want to be everybody
Speaker 1: want to have one of these heroic plays where they
Speaker 1: get out of harm's way and they throw it or
Speaker 1: they break they shake five people and make somebody miss
Speaker 1: and they spin and they don't bro. You're doing too much.
Speaker 1: You're doing too much.
Speaker 3: True, true, you know to be able to do something
Speaker 3: like that to make something happen for your team.
Speaker 4: Sure, you're gonna make ESPN.
Speaker 1: Wow. DoD just had the bases loaded with one out
Speaker 1: and uh Toronto got out of it and headed to
Speaker 1: the top, headed to the bottom of the tenth, bottom
Speaker 1: of the ten. Yep, the Sooners did what the Sooners do.
Speaker 1: They ran for one hundred. Man, if I'm not running back,
Speaker 1: I'm mad. I go down to the one yard line thanking.
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a knee, and then the next play
Speaker 1: you let the quarterback run. In the hell? If I
Speaker 1: do that, I ran it inain. You ain't take my
Speaker 1: tup because it looked a lot better, Oh Joe, If
Speaker 1: I got a hold on that was like a fifty
Speaker 1: something yard run because you weren't right up straight. So
Speaker 1: a forty three yard run or forty four yard touchdown,
Speaker 1: I think I take the forty four yard touchdown absolutely hell.
Speaker 1: If I, if I, if I knew that, if I,
Speaker 1: because I thought we gonna you know, let the time run.
Speaker 3: Didn't do that anyway, did Somebody had to give him
Speaker 3: that from the sideline and you go down there and
Speaker 3: take away a touchdown and then they run it right
Speaker 3: in the next place.
Speaker 1: Shoot, I listen, that's my point. Yeah, I'm not I'm
Speaker 1: not doing that. I'm not I'm not taking no, I'm
Speaker 1: not taking none. I'm going we up and plus we're
Speaker 1: up three. That puts us some ten.
Speaker 2: Look, if we can't hold lead, if we can't hold
Speaker 2: a lead with.
Speaker 1: A minute lefts that that's on that's on us. But
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was a very it was
Speaker 1: a very good It was a very good game, very
Speaker 1: good game. Ten seven and then oh you oh you
Speaker 1: had to lead in the half sixteen. You had the
Speaker 1: sixteen because it's kicked three field goal in the second.
Speaker 1: So they had a sixteen to ten lead at the half.
Speaker 1: As poorly as they played less than one hundred yards
Speaker 1: of total offense, Tennessee is well over two fifty of
Speaker 1: total offense. But the misquus and you know, I'm sure
Speaker 1: coach Heipel is in the locker rooms like Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: we let one slip away. You know, we've got to
Speaker 1: be better. We got to take better care of the
Speaker 1: football and when we get opportunities. Aguila threw one right
Speaker 1: to the right heart of the defense. Probably will saved
Speaker 1: ten to fifteen seconds and the wide receiver dropped it
Speaker 1: right over the time, you know, late in the ball
Speaker 1: game on Joe when they were they ended up I
Speaker 1: think no, they ended up kicking a field goal.
Speaker 2: They ended up kicking a field goal, but it happened.
Speaker 4: Before going to the next game.
Speaker 3: You want to know what the NFL throw is For
Speaker 3: those that watched that Tennessee Oklahoma game. When Aguile threw that,
Speaker 3: I think it was the skinny or it was maybe
Speaker 3: a slant and he he he he. He kept his
Speaker 3: eyes to the left and the safety missing and they
Speaker 3: came right off the safety year in the back of
Speaker 3: his own Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yea yea saw that.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, like towards the end of the game. Now,
Speaker 3: that was the NFL throw.
Speaker 5: That was nice.
Speaker 4: He threw that thing on the rope.
Speaker 1: Oh he made some big time play. He made some
Speaker 1: big time plays. But they just got to do a
Speaker 1: better job of taking care of the football. Mainly him
Speaker 1: the number five Georgia Bulldogs. He used to be called
Speaker 1: the world largest cocktail party. I don't know what they
Speaker 1: call it now, maybe they call it the world largest
Speaker 1: office party. But they survived, come back in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 1: like they've done so many times this year, by the
Speaker 1: score of twenty four to twenty. Remember last week they
Speaker 1: let Billy and Napier go. They have an interim head
Speaker 1: coach and Georgia it took all Georgia could do to
Speaker 1: come back and win the ball game. They have to
Speaker 1: score seven in the fourth quarter late in the ball
Speaker 1: games to get a win, and they do that. Gunna
Speaker 1: Stockton made some big time throws, but it was a
Speaker 1: running back that Georgia was seven or fifteen or third down,
Speaker 1: Florida was two of eleven. Georgia had three. In the
Speaker 1: sixty one total yards, Florida had two eighty one. Time
Speaker 1: of possession wasn't thirty two to twenty five to twenty seven,
Speaker 1: thirty five. But that fourth down really hurt Florida. I mean,
Speaker 1: they weren't even close to get it. That wasn't even close.
Speaker 1: Did you get did you get did y'all know the
Speaker 1: snap count? Because it damn sure looked like Georgia knew
Speaker 1: the snap count and y'all didn't get no surge. That
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. I don't even know why they even
Speaker 1: brought the measurement, brought y'all whyle, y'all brought the tape out,
Speaker 1: make it down.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even close to getting that. Wasn't you close
Speaker 2: to getting that?
Speaker 3: But now I'll say watching this game, as up and
Speaker 3: down as Florida has been, as inconsistent as they've been
Speaker 3: depending on who they're playing, the fact that they played
Speaker 3: Georgia today and played Georgia so well, you know, played
Speaker 3: the ring team as well as they did, I just
Speaker 3: don't understand what the problem may be with Florida. I
Speaker 3: think they're not that far away if they can find
Speaker 3: some some continuity and consistency in each game, no matter what,
Speaker 3: not playing down competition. Obviously, it starts with a quarterback play.
Speaker 3: The quarterback play has to be a little bit more consistent.
Speaker 3: I mean leg I mean leg Way wasn't that bad
Speaker 3: a day. It was fifteen for twenty four weeks now
Speaker 3: four sixty six TV. But to play like they played
Speaker 3: the day against Georgia, it comet like well damn, y'all
Speaker 3: really shouldn't have any losses and until it comes to
Speaker 3: the big boys.
Speaker 4: Now, sometime you expect Florida to lose.
Speaker 3: To you know, a game, a game like this against
Speaker 3: you know, one of the one of the better teams
Speaker 3: that are ranked very high.
Speaker 4: I think Georgia's number four, if I'm not mistaken. But
Speaker 4: I mean, listen you, there are no moral victories.
Speaker 3: But to me, with my coach, the coaches got fired, right, yeah,
Speaker 3: but the yeah with really just getting fired. To me,
Speaker 3: this is they're no moral goddamn victories. But the way
Speaker 3: they fought the day, I mean it was cool. Even
Speaker 3: though they did lose.
Speaker 1: You're gonna gonna stock and played another good game today.
Speaker 1: Twenty of twenty nine, twenty three two touchdowns. He did
Speaker 1: have that one reception. Bowen's was the one that had
Speaker 1: a thirty six yard touchdown that really put you know,
Speaker 1: that put him in front. And then Georgia's defense did
Speaker 1: the rest branches ten catches for one hundred and twelve yards.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this game, oh your and I agree
Speaker 1: with you. I'm like, Florida, where was this all year? Granted,
Speaker 1: now this is a rivalry game, Georgia Florida. The Georgia
Speaker 1: Florida lied.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 2: They's played in Jacksonville, is not played on campus.
Speaker 1: I think this rivaly is almost one hundred years old,
Speaker 1: and so I'm not surprised that Florida got up to play.
Speaker 1: This is the longest this is what a five game
Speaker 1: win streak for the Bulldogs. I think the longest in
Speaker 1: a very very long time. I think the record is
Speaker 1: like six. But Georgia, Georgia has a good team. You know,
Speaker 1: Kirby is a very very very very very good coach.
Speaker 1: He gets very good players, He coaches him up, you know,
Speaker 1: being under coach Saban, I see a lot of coach
Speaker 1: saving in him and his manner rhythms and having his team.
Speaker 1: The team is prepared. That's one thing you're gonna say
Speaker 1: about the Kurby Smart team, the one thing you could
Speaker 1: always say about the Nick Sabing team. They're gonna be prepared. Uh.
Speaker 1: And that's all you can really that's that's that's all
Speaker 1: you can really ask for is is that is have
Speaker 1: the team prepared, knowing that you got horses to run
Speaker 1: the race. Hey, I can win, I can win any war.
Speaker 1: Just give me the web. Give me some weapons to
Speaker 1: go fight, and I can win any war. And uh
Speaker 1: Georgia got those dogs that can run and can fight,
Speaker 1: and so uh it was it was a It was
Speaker 1: a big win because Joe, we saw Georgia come back.
Speaker 1: Who they come back is They came back against Old
Speaker 1: Miss a couple of weeks ago. They can't they They've
Speaker 1: done this like three or four times this year, either
Speaker 1: losing at the half or losing going to the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1: Auburn was another one. They found a way to come
Speaker 1: back and win your Auburn Old Miss. They did it,
Speaker 1: uh today with Florida. And so you know, you can't
Speaker 1: count these guys out. If you get them down, like
Speaker 1: killing that with a sledgehammer. You get them down, you
Speaker 1: better you better make sure they stay down because if
Speaker 1: they get up off the map, they're coming. They're coming.
Speaker 1: But uh Georgia, look, they still right there. They know
Speaker 1: they gotta hope Alabama lose a game because Alabama's beating them.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this thing is gonna play out
Speaker 1: right now, Alabama and Texas, Ay and them, But I
Speaker 1: guess they don't divide up in the East and West anymore.
Speaker 1: They just take the two best the one loss record,
Speaker 1: so theoretically it could be Texas AY and them playing
Speaker 1: Alabama even though they're on the same side. So it
Speaker 1: used to be East West West, but they've done away
Speaker 1: with the divisions this year, so it's gonna be very
Speaker 1: very interesting to see what goes on what happens. Oh
Speaker 1: show Yo Kines twenty overtime lost to SMU, a defeat
Speaker 1: that significantly damages Miami ACC Championship and College Football playoff hope,
Speaker 1: as the Hurricanes dropped their second ACC game in three
Speaker 1: weeks and fell to six and two twelve penalties for
Speaker 1: ninety six yards, including an unsportsmanlike conduct call against defensive
Speaker 1: defensive end Marquis Mark east Lightfoot on the final driving
Speaker 1: regulation when he hit quarterback Kevin Jennings after the Whiston
Speaker 1: have blown for a Miami time out. That penalty helped
Speaker 1: Miami get in the field goal range, and they kicked
Speaker 1: a thirty eight yard field goal to send the game
Speaker 1: in overtime. Carson Beck threw an interception on the goal
Speaker 1: line in his first possession, and then SMU took the
Speaker 1: ball in from one yard out and they won. Miami
Speaker 1: playoff chances dropped to Night and according to ESPN's playoff predictor,
Speaker 1: Oh Joe, over the last three four years, Miami has
Speaker 1: always had games like this. They always lose a game
Speaker 1: that they should should win and they're favored. We've seen
Speaker 1: this from coach PASTABAWL team and I don't know why.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know why. We saw this the
Speaker 1: other night. Who did they play and he threw those
Speaker 1: and bet through those? That was I think Virginia, but
Speaker 1: Virginia Louisville. It was Louisville. That's what they're playing, Louisville.
Speaker 1: And I just I just don't get how every year
Speaker 1: this time, oh, this is Miami year. This is Miami year.
Speaker 1: This is Miami year. And every year somebody that's not
Speaker 1: even ranked.
Speaker 4: Even you know, it's funny.
Speaker 3: Also for those of you in the chat that are
Speaker 3: watching right now that haven't watched SMU play, Hey, them
Speaker 3: boys can play some ball on them boys down at
Speaker 3: SMU despite not being ranked, they can play some ball.
Speaker 4: They're very good.
Speaker 3: Goddamn God, damn Jennings through for three sixty five to.
Speaker 4: Day t J.
Speaker 3: Harden had what but not only only nine nine for
Speaker 3: twenty seven My little nephew, mylile nephew played for SMU,
Speaker 3: went to Miami Northwestern Romelo Brentson. He used to be
Speaker 3: down there at University of Miami. You know, he eat transferred.
Speaker 3: He's having a having a really good season for SMU
Speaker 3: as well. But I'm not I'm not sure what it
Speaker 3: is with Carson back when it comes to games where
Speaker 3: you should where you should dominate as a quarterback playing
Speaker 3: against what most would consider an inferior opponent.
Speaker 4: You got to come to the party. You got to
Speaker 4: show up.
Speaker 3: And I just talk to you about it the other
Speaker 3: day when we talk about the Heistman Trophy candidates and
Speaker 3: how no quarterback is stepping up to the plate. Where
Speaker 3: it seems like everybody's in one pot some some week.
Speaker 3: One week they play good, one week they play bad.
Speaker 3: Everything just happens to be up and down and inconsistent
Speaker 3: all the way across the collegiate collegiate football when it
Speaker 3: comes to quarterback play.
Speaker 4: And I mean, this is the game. Miami should have won,
Speaker 4: this game, they should have won.
Speaker 1: They should have I like the kid from Ohio State,
Speaker 1: he's playing his ass off. You know, he's a transfer
Speaker 1: out of Alabama, sailing yeah, saying I think that's saying
Speaker 1: saying the kid that takes saying him he's playing Marcel Reid,
Speaker 1: he's playing well Simpson tied Simpson for Alabama. You know
Speaker 1: Mendoza's gonna be there because this team is eight. No,
Speaker 1: they're averaging down there fifty points a game. But I
Speaker 1: agree with you, Carson back twenty six and thirty eight
Speaker 1: to seventy four, two touchdowns, two interceptions. I mean, just
Speaker 1: he'll he'll play great. Stretching, you're like, oh, man, okay,
Speaker 1: I see, I see why Georgia want I see why
Speaker 1: you the four or five start going to univirgit Georgia.
Speaker 2: And then you're like, bro, what are.
Speaker 1: You doing that?
Speaker 4: Now we're not basing off We're not basing off this
Speaker 4: your stats.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 3: Now we're paying you four five million dollars in nil money. Now,
Speaker 3: we expect you to be goddamn a mini Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 3: out there.
Speaker 4: If you making that kind of make you making that
Speaker 4: kind of.
Speaker 1: Chattel, I expect that at the collegiate level.
Speaker 4: Judging you're different. Now, we expect you to get us
Speaker 4: over the hump.
Speaker 3: We No, you are supposed to be the one to
Speaker 3: take us to the Promised land.
Speaker 4: Making that kind of money. It's different.
Speaker 3: It's different, and you got to come to You have
Speaker 3: to be the reason we win, not the reason for
Speaker 3: us losing. That's two weeks in a row. Now, last week,
Speaker 3: get through four. Today you threw one note one or two,
Speaker 3: two through two. Come on that and then costly and
Speaker 3: the goddamn red zone.
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: You got to be the difference maker.
Speaker 1: Man and Yo Joe, we talk about college football. You
Speaker 1: used to be Man, that's just a kid. They don't
Speaker 1: get played like professionals. If you notice, the tenor and
Speaker 1: the tone have changed, because now you do get played
Speaker 1: like professionals, and we expect a certain level. Presidents and
Speaker 1: universities they treat them different. Bro, we got you, we
Speaker 1: got we're paying you fifty million. We're paying this guy.
Speaker 1: We got another ten, fifteen to twenty million tied up
Speaker 1: in this roster. Oh no, it ain't no more. All
Speaker 1: these are kids. Oh you know, we gonna take some time. No,
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna take no time. You gotta get that done.
Speaker 1: We've given you everything that you needed. That's just that's
Speaker 1: just the way it is. Because I remember we used
Speaker 1: to talk about it, and I really hated talking college
Speaker 1: football because you know, coming from an NFL background, we
Speaker 1: critique differently than that's a grown man by a salary
Speaker 1: versus an eighteen, nineteen twenty year old kill kid that's
Speaker 1: not getting paid. But no more, no more. We see
Speaker 1: guys like Gerremiince Smeth and when he dropping pass like
Speaker 1: come on, bro. Or we see a guy like Ryan
Speaker 1: Williams of Alabama dropping passes and they were man, oh Joe,
Speaker 1: you and hard on him, bro.
Speaker 2: The man getting two and a half million dollars.
Speaker 4: Things are different. You're judged differently based.
Speaker 1: On but he only eighteen, Well he getting money like
Speaker 1: he's twenty eight. Yeah, I tell you what when you
Speaker 1: go cast when he when that money hit direct deposit,
Speaker 1: ain't got no age on it. It going straight to
Speaker 1: it the cap. We have a different level of expectation
Speaker 1: now with our college athletes after they started getting paid,
Speaker 1: especially the ones that getting paid now. We don't judge
Speaker 1: all of them like this, but the coaches we hold
Speaker 1: even higher because of the money that they're getting paid,
Speaker 1: because they're upgrading the amenities, because they're doing everything. You know,
Speaker 1: you got a red light, Sonna, and you got cryoh,
Speaker 1: and you got these different tanks and you got the
Speaker 1: best best of offense, defensive coordinator, D line coach, linebacker coach,
Speaker 1: dB coach.
Speaker 2: You got the best of the best. For its staff.
Speaker 1: You get the best. I mean, you got these guys.
Speaker 1: I mean whatever you need protein shakes. I means soon
Speaker 1: as you come off the field, they got protein shakes.
Speaker 1: You get this much protein, this much coprehydrates, this much fat.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 1: So now, oh Jo, it's we We were looking at
Speaker 1: collegiate players differently. We're looking at collegiate teams differently because
Speaker 1: guys are getting paid and there's so much money involved,
Speaker 1: so much I mean, the payout what was it? The
Speaker 1: payout probably gonna be seventy eighty ninety million dollars per
Speaker 1: SEC team, per a Big ten team. Yeah, hey, I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: go to the college football playoffs and oh Joe, this
Speaker 1: is this is paying your athletic budget for you.
Speaker 4: Let me tell you something. Now, you know what the
Speaker 4: payout is. You know, seventy eighty million, you're going to
Speaker 4: stand five four. You understand what the budget is.
Speaker 3: Now, the fact that you don't want to put your
Speaker 3: hand in in in the pot, you know, and see
Speaker 3: we can do you know, as as as a coaching
Speaker 3: staff be like a president and VP.
Speaker 1: Oko. You know, you know why I'm good at things
Speaker 1: because I know what I'm doing at and I know
Speaker 1: i'm not. I try to stay You try to stay
Speaker 1: your lane, and I stay away from Well, okay, so
Speaker 1: I didn't I didn't try a whole I didn't try
Speaker 1: a whole lot of things because I don't do good
Speaker 1: with a learning curve. Oh you do it good. Make
Speaker 1: it out of y'all, suck you look, you do it good. No, hell,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 4: I know.
Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm not doing.
Speaker 4: You got to take that back.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 4: Now you said you like to stay within your comfort zone.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take it.
Speaker 3: As that you want to do things that you know
Speaker 3: you're gonna succeed that and be good at.
Speaker 1: But anything you put that, I like doing because what
Speaker 1: you like doing, what I'm passionate about. You can tell
Speaker 1: what you love. You love football, I don't love coaching football.
Speaker 1: Dodgers win this game, y'all. Mo Moto is gonna be
Speaker 1: the world he was MVP. He's gonna do a Kirk,
Speaker 1: He'll ins and Randy Johnson. If they win this game,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be them VP. Two complete games and would
Speaker 1: it be three wins because he'll have three wins. It
Speaker 1: won't Bill saved because he didn't come in the save opportunity.
Speaker 1: He would have won the game.
Speaker 4: Wait a minute, it's five four.
Speaker 1: It's fine for at the bottom of the tent. Who's
Speaker 1: up now the blue jades? What's how many outs? Oh?
Speaker 1: I hadn't started. No, what I'm I'm The thing is
Speaker 1: is that I learned at a very age, if you
Speaker 1: were like passionate about something, you're gonna pull off.
Speaker 4: Absolutely into it, and it doesn't feel like work, and.
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like work. This is why I was
Speaker 1: passionate about playing football. I was passionate about training. I
Speaker 1: was passionate about, you know, getting up and going and
Speaker 1: going and doing my school work. I was passionate about that.
Speaker 1: I'm passionate about this creating content. I'm passionate about doing
Speaker 1: club shape shape because I'm just to know about what
Speaker 1: how this person came to be defend on my couch.
Speaker 1: You just didn't magically appear on your couch. What were
Speaker 1: you as a kid, What were you as an adolescent?
Speaker 1: What were you as a young man young woman? How
Speaker 1: did you get here? I'm interested in knowing that I'm
Speaker 1: interested to see how similar or how different our backs were.
Speaker 1: Everybody didn't have the hard story where they had to
Speaker 1: work or had to walk five miles of school, and
Speaker 1: they come from brokens. Some came from great two parent household.
Speaker 1: But I'm eager to learn and to find out and
Speaker 1: to hear their story. So I'm passionate about that. I
Speaker 1: ain't passionate about no.
Speaker 4: Coach, I got you.
Speaker 1: I ain't even lying. I go, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 3: I just thought, I thought, you know, you know, there
Speaker 3: there was a huge incentive. There as a huge incentive
Speaker 3: that I continue to see all the time. And we
Speaker 3: talked about and the pots seemed to get bigger and
Speaker 3: bigger for those that are at the collegiate level. And
Speaker 3: I understand what you could do and being able to
Speaker 3: pass down some of that knowledge that you that you
Speaker 3: would you attained and achieved over the years and passing
Speaker 3: it back down to the youth. You know, you could
Speaker 3: be like another Nick Saban. You could be like a prime.
Speaker 3: You could be like a uh uh, who else?
Speaker 4: Who else? A Kirby?

Speaker 7: That's a crib thing. That's a crib thing.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, absolutely absolutely. I just I want to know.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna let you go. I have I have to
Speaker 4: I have to ask what is it.
Speaker 3: About this Indiana team that got y'all boys playing like this,
Speaker 3: Like y'all, y'all beating up on everybody team that a
Speaker 3: game that people are counting y'all out as a team,
Speaker 3: y'all coming in there and making making the opponents that
Speaker 3: are supposed to beat y'all look damn near inferior.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 6: I feel like the outside in they didn't expect us
Speaker 6: to be as good as we are. But in the house,
Speaker 6: we expect to beat them teams like all them top
Speaker 6: teams with hop Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh, I'm looking at you guys. You beat Kenisas State
Speaker 1: fifty six nine and you win seventy three zero, and
Speaker 1: you win sixty three ten, and you win fifty six six,
Speaker 1: and you win fifty five ten, and after last season,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie, I ain't gonna hold you D'Angelo.
Speaker 2: It's like, man, I like this an anomaly. This Hey,
Speaker 2: they want and done.
Speaker 1: You followed it up basically with another season that is
Speaker 1: as good, get better. You're saying, look, we're not one
Speaker 1: and done. We're here to stay. We're just not a
Speaker 1: cute story that oh Indiana. You remember the year in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four when Indiana did that was so cute, cuddly.
Speaker 1: Nat you guys, coach signaty got you guys balling.
Speaker 7: Nah, definitely ain't going last year.
Speaker 6: Last year it was like we were making history every game,
Speaker 6: like they ain't never had nine games won in a row.
Speaker 7: But we're doing it again this year, showing everybody we
Speaker 7: could do it again. It will luck.
Speaker 4: As matter of fact, you know what I think about.
Speaker 3: Obviously, there's a there's a deeper route to why you
Speaker 3: guys are having this kind of success. Most of the time,
Speaker 3: you know, you look, you look at the Nick saving
Speaker 3: the Nick saving years. You look at the Kirby smart
Speaker 3: and some of those coaches that have boys had those
Speaker 3: great teams. Where are most of the kids from that
Speaker 3: are on Indiana's team?
Speaker 7: They from the South? They from the South, somewhere down south.
Speaker 4: See see what I mean? You see that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, I'm trying to figure out, Bro.
Speaker 2: And you said it from the South. Man, it get
Speaker 2: cold to India.
Speaker 1: You don't know. I wanted, you know, I would stand
Speaker 1: out there. It's nice as sunshine. Man, it be cold,
Speaker 1: y'all be outside practicing in the cold. You know, pills
Speaker 1: staatey get cold Ohio State and get cold and get
Speaker 1: colder our I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 2: I ain't really signed up with this. So how did
Speaker 2: you get your body acclimated to it?
Speaker 5: Bro?
Speaker 1: You from Florida, South Florida.
Speaker 7: I ain't a lot when I when I first got
Speaker 7: to college, I had to adjust. It took some adjustine
Speaker 7: to do.
Speaker 6: But it's a little tricks I figured out, like some
Speaker 6: basoline and stuff like that. That yet, you're right, But
Speaker 6: I just got used to it just by going going
Speaker 6: out there and playing vascillating. No, I ain't going I
Speaker 6: don't feel nothing when I put bassline on. So I
Speaker 6: think that's one of the tricks I learned.
Speaker 5: You know what.
Speaker 3: I have one more question too, especially both us being
Speaker 3: from Florida, being from being from the Crib.
Speaker 4: What is it about Indiana?
Speaker 3: How did they get some of the players that are
Speaker 3: coming from down south to actually go to Indiana when
Speaker 3: you have when we have so many other options to
Speaker 3: choose from when it comes to going to playing college football.
Speaker 6: I just feel like we come to them with a good,
Speaker 6: good opportunity, like just tell them what they what they
Speaker 6: have in front of them, see we winning.
Speaker 7: So I think we got the upper hand with recruiting, Like.
Speaker 6: Okay, everybody want to recruit now, it's not that hard
Speaker 6: to tell them like, yeah, we're finna win, so you
Speaker 6: just come come join like you're gonna play, okay, And
Speaker 6: it ain't really hard to do, right.
Speaker 1: And you know what, D'Angelo, it's funny that it's great
Speaker 1: that you say that, because if you guys continue this
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years from now, you will be a part
Speaker 1: of the class that started this. You'll always have a
Speaker 1: place when you go back. Oh yeah, I remember him, man.
Speaker 1: He was part of that Coach Signatty class that came
Speaker 1: in here and kicked that thing off, they went to
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs, they went back possibly won the
Speaker 1: college football playoffs.
Speaker 2: Brug y'all will be y'all would be like mythical.
Speaker 7: It's true. I never thought about that too.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah, and once that because yeah, oh Joe,
Speaker 1: I mean Savannah. When I went to Savannah State, we
Speaker 1: hadn't really never had a winning season. Everybody still to
Speaker 1: this day talks about that class of eighty six, everybody
Speaker 1: that was my freshman class. Everybody talks about that class.
Speaker 1: Our senior year, we was eight and one. The previous
Speaker 1: year we were seven and so we won like fifteen
Speaker 1: in two years. We won like fifteen games. Nobody had ever,
Speaker 1: no team ever done that. So this is what you know,
Speaker 1: you guys having a Big ten. Can you imagine a
Speaker 1: Big ten championship for Indiana? A college football playoff national check?
Speaker 1: Bra you a legend. You will never ever have to
Speaker 1: pay for anything in Bloomington, Indiana ever ever again in
Speaker 1: your life.
Speaker 7: Facts.
Speaker 1: You gotta have to think about moving back yesterday right here. Hey,
Speaker 1: I ain't gotta pay no rent, I ain't gotta pay
Speaker 1: no board again. I get a car eight And you know,
Speaker 1: you know, it's so funny. The way the way y'all
Speaker 1: beating teams, Like, do y'all even watch film? Brod you
Speaker 1: sit what y'all did to Maryland?
Speaker 4: Man? Do I mean do coaches just give y'all the
Speaker 4: day off?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 4: What is there to watch at that point?
Speaker 3: When you when you die, I'm about completely dominate teams
Speaker 3: and every hell now, damn, don't worry.
Speaker 6: Don't answer that question now, Yeah, we watched film. We
Speaker 6: ain't taking nobody lightly either. We I don't know if
Speaker 6: you watch the game or not, but we was into
Speaker 6: like four minutes left.
Speaker 7: The starters were still laying.
Speaker 1: We was up.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we was up still, So we ain't taking nobody lightly.
Speaker 6: Everybody get the same treatment.
Speaker 2: Right right, I mean I'm saying, okay, so what do
Speaker 2: you guys do on a Sunday?
Speaker 1: Do you come in? Do y'all get treatment, watch film?
Speaker 1: Or do you give you Sunday off and then you
Speaker 1: guys get ready to hit it again on Monday?
Speaker 6: What's your stud So on a Sunday, we'll go in
Speaker 6: for health check. Uh, no film or nothing like that.
Speaker 6: We'll do some little hamstring work uh in health check.
Speaker 7: Really, that's it.
Speaker 6: It's just treatment and then you get to go home.
Speaker 6: You off on Sunday. Okay, Monday, we'll come in and
Speaker 6: watch film.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, you know, no price on Monday, but y'all
Speaker 1: hit the Tuesday Monday.
Speaker 7: It's a walk through though, right Okay.
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, yeah, damn we we've thugged it up on
Speaker 1: I did. I need to go back to school now
Speaker 1: I should I should have been born back in two thousand. Yeah,
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, two thousand and four, A g
Speaker 1: I was talking about.
Speaker 3: When I was talking about watching film, I'm not I'm
Speaker 3: not talking about before a game. I'm saying we're dominated
Speaker 3: game like you, Like you played Maryland most of the time.
Speaker 3: Let's say the Bengals, we played the Steelers. Obviously you
Speaker 3: play Sunday, but sometimes Sunday, I mean Monday. You know,
Speaker 3: you come in, you do your treatment, do whatever, you
Speaker 3: go upstairs, and you watch, you watch the previous game.
Speaker 3: But when you dominate games like this, y'all still watch film.
Speaker 3: When you win a game out of ten, That's what
Speaker 3: I meant.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's always mistakes made in any each game you
Speaker 7: could learn from.
Speaker 3: So okay, okay, yeah, okay, I was just curious ship man.
Speaker 3: I see, That's why I couldn't be no head coach.
Speaker 3: But we beat somebody fifty two ten, or we consistently
Speaker 3: dominating people week the week score on forty plus and
Speaker 3: y'all boys take the day off.
Speaker 5: Man. Nah.
Speaker 6: Our coaches demand perfection, so they're gonna perfect you no
Speaker 6: matter what.
Speaker 4: Okay, Okay, I got it, I got it.
Speaker 1: Never accept anything in the win. You wouldn't them a loss.
Speaker 1: So even though we beat somebody fifty five ten and
Speaker 1: somebody missed some assignments, I'm not gonna allow that to
Speaker 1: happen because then you will think that play because we
Speaker 1: want is acceptable.
Speaker 2: You guys have the third best defense in the country.
Speaker 1: I mean, god damn when you think of Indiana, I
Speaker 1: don't know if you really think of defense. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're putting up fifty five points. You're probably thinking about offense.
Speaker 1: But when you see ten, you see six, you see thirteen,
Speaker 1: you see fifteen, you see ten, you see nine, you
Speaker 1: see zero, You're like, okay, yeah, okay, I see that.
Speaker 1: If that, if that your mindset is like, look, if
Speaker 1: we get turnovers, we create short fields for our offense,
Speaker 1: our offense is gonna cash in, and then that's gonna
Speaker 1: allow us to really put pin our ears back and
Speaker 1: then we can just sit on stuff because we know
Speaker 1: that ball.
Speaker 6: That's definitely the mindset just to have our offense back
Speaker 6: each game, make it easier for them, and they make
Speaker 6: it easier for us some games too. So that's definitely
Speaker 6: the mindset that not give nothing up. Won't like catches
Speaker 6: like yards.
Speaker 7: On like, none of that. So that's why we were
Speaker 7: on the top defenses in the country.
Speaker 1: Let me match you. What what made you? What made
Speaker 1: you choose Indiana because obviously, first of all, you probably
Speaker 1: have you probably had some opportunity to go somewhere and
Speaker 1: run track. You run ten four in high school, that
Speaker 1: probably figure it's like you know what with the right training,
Speaker 1: because they're looking at it like in high school, these
Speaker 1: guys are really getting training like they're supposed to. But
Speaker 1: we get the right training, we get the right supplementation
Speaker 1: into them, give them the right nutrition, right track, coach,
Speaker 1: we can probably get this guy down to the ten,
Speaker 1: maybe even sub ten. We definitely feel like we can
Speaker 1: get him down low twenty, low twenty point oh low twenties,
Speaker 1: maybe even dip below a twenty. So what was your
Speaker 1: thinking when you went to Indiana? Where you did you
Speaker 1: want to do a dude, did you want to run track?
Speaker 1: Play football? Or what's in there where you all in
Speaker 1: on football?
Speaker 5: Crazy?
Speaker 6: Part with me is I didn't have no like big offers.
Speaker 6: Out of high school. I went to James Madison with
Speaker 6: coach Sinneti. Okay, okay, yeah, James Madison. No, I wasn't
Speaker 6: thinking about running track either. I ran track because everybody
Speaker 6: who played football had to run track. So I rapped, yeah,
Speaker 6: run track. But I went to James Madison and then
Speaker 6: out of James Madison, I ended the portal and it
Speaker 6: was it was really a no Brandon to follow Signetty
Speaker 6: to Indiana.
Speaker 7: So that's how I ended up at Indiana.
Speaker 1: Oh, I had like I see, I see, I see
Speaker 1: what you put down now? You know, hey, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Oh try they drop a little brand
Speaker 1: comes you know, Hanseling Grener. You know how they got
Speaker 1: back home? They yeah, you know, Coach Signetty dropped a
Speaker 1: couple of bread CRuMs for him, like, hey, I believe
Speaker 1: it right here for you go pick it up, just
Speaker 1: a little something on the flow for it. He grabbed
Speaker 1: it and blow me to Indiana. There he is, Hey,
Speaker 1: so uh uh, look you got three games left. You're
Speaker 1: at Penn State, Wisconsin at home, and then you got
Speaker 1: produce everything that you guys, I'm sure everything that coach
Speaker 1: Signatty put up on the board of what the goals
Speaker 1: and what you wanted to accomplish your three wins away
Speaker 1: in the regular season. That's not the ultimate goal. Obviously
Speaker 1: win the Big Ten. Obviously getting to the college football
Speaker 1: playoffs this year, I obviously cash it all in. You're
Speaker 1: three games away. How do you keep the focus? How
Speaker 1: do you how do you stay right here and don't
Speaker 1: get here? Like man man Penn State, they are already
Speaker 1: up fired. They coach, they done, they done, gave up
Speaker 1: on the season. We got Wisconsin at home. Ain't nobody
Speaker 1: beating us at home? And then we got Purdue. Nah
Speaker 1: we Hey, we got them even though that's a rob
Speaker 1: that's a robbery game. Purdue in Indiauta, that's a robber.
Speaker 6: Just kid that same saying one and no mindset. We
Speaker 6: ain't gotta change nothing up. Just go on and know
Speaker 6: each week, not looking at head, it'll come. Whatever we
Speaker 6: got in store for us, it's gonna come. So just
Speaker 6: go one and each week that's the goal for us.
Speaker 1: That man man congratulations man, thanks for joining us tonight.
Speaker 1: We really really appreciate having you on Nightcapter night man,
Speaker 1: best of luck. Tell everybody, hey, congratulations, keep your head down,
Speaker 1: keep your ears open, and full steam ahead. Man.
Speaker 2: Hey, when y'all win the Big ten, come, I can tell.
Speaker 1: He appreciate that. DeAngelo Kahn's joining us tonight.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 2: Hey, that was dope for the Indiana Hoosiers.
Speaker 1: He's the cornerback on the third best defense in the
Speaker 1: country and they give up less eleven points a game,
Speaker 1: less than eleven points a game, actually ten point nine.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what that that that that what's MC
Speaker 3: call the game is gonna be really good. That Penn
Speaker 3: State game is gonna be really really good. That's gonna
Speaker 3: be that's that's gonna be a tall tail and a
Speaker 3: tough tat. Hey, Johnny, what's up?
Speaker 8: What I had a like a I guess we'll call
Speaker 8: it like a Nissan. I guess I had like a
Speaker 8: Nissan Ultimate on the World Series. So I've been sitting there.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 9: Trying to Yeah, you took the Dodgers. Maybe I took
Speaker 9: the Dodgers. They lost, Now they won they won? Actually,
Speaker 9: so yeah, they won eleven Yamamoto was part car.
Speaker 1: He was, I mean oral horse Shiveser in nineteen eighty
Speaker 1: eight did the exact same thing. He was World Series MVP.
Speaker 1: If you go back and look at two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: I think that's when the Diamondbacks beat the Yankees and
Speaker 1: that's when Kurt Shillings and Randy Johnson shared the MVP.
Speaker 1: And I said, based on what he had done in
Speaker 1: the first game, complete game, and then he followed it
Speaker 1: up in game six, to get him in game severn
Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, if he comes in
Speaker 1: and get to save, he's gonna be the MVP and right.
Speaker 5: Hisself for sure.
Speaker 3: He hold on, I'm confused now, you say, you you
Speaker 3: better Nissan and Ultima on the Dodgers to win this game.
Speaker 5: Right, No, I'm a series when the whole.
Speaker 8: When the whole came out and I saw it with
Speaker 8: Toronto versus La, immediately it was like, I think the
Speaker 8: Dodgers are going to win this game, win that series,
Speaker 8: one hundred periods, okay. And I went to Game three,
Speaker 8: eighteen innings. I sat in left field until twelve thirty
Speaker 8: in LA and watched every player that game. Probably the
Speaker 8: best sporting event I've ever been to. In my life,
Speaker 8: right and crazy? What a series, what a game the
Speaker 8: last two nights, unbelievable world series. Everybody who's a baseball
Speaker 8: fan should have thoroughly enjoyed that. Sure, and what a
Speaker 8: while they are college football too?
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, absolutely, if I'm not mistaken. So the series
Speaker 3: is what is it tied to the over next d.
Speaker 1: It's over for to three?
Speaker 4: That was that was game set. That's it.
Speaker 5: That's it.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 4: God damn the Jodges that went back to back, back
Speaker 4: to back.
Speaker 1: Back to back. That's the first time. That was the
Speaker 1: first time since the Big Red Machine seventy five seventy
Speaker 1: six that a National League team has gone back to
Speaker 1: back with Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan and all those guys,
Speaker 1: Tom don't don't worry about.
Speaker 4: Back in the day.
Speaker 3: And see listen, when you think about the investment, when
Speaker 3: you think about the payroll and investment that they put
Speaker 3: on these players, Freeman Otani.
Speaker 1: Who bet Mookie Ben, They got Yamamoto, they got Glass
Speaker 1: Now they played Blake Snail.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I don't know why the Dodgers figured it out. Johnny, Well,
Speaker 3: how come the Yankee can't do it? Because the Yankee
Speaker 3: did the same guy had the same guy. Damn philosophy
Speaker 3: pitching and Yankee.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you think about it, it was it
Speaker 1: was a Dodgers pitching that actually saved him. Yr My
Speaker 1: motive game, because y'all momotive game, a complete game in
Speaker 1: game six, he gave him six. He gave him a
Speaker 1: complete game. Game he played, he gave.
Speaker 5: To he came in in certain situations.
Speaker 2: After last night, He gave him six. Sitting last night and.
Speaker 1: He came in.
Speaker 3: The helly gonna come in tonight after this pitching nine
Speaker 3: and your shoulders supposed to be off the bone.
Speaker 5: You don't play until next spring. You ain't got nothing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're worried about that. That's why they gave him
Speaker 1: what they gave.
Speaker 4: Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 1: When when you when you when you paid? When you
Speaker 1: pay that And that's why, that's why the Dodgers. Uh
Speaker 1: that the Dodgers guy is the same guy that brought
Speaker 1: just brought the the the Lakers. Ah, so they gonna
Speaker 1: spend money. They say it takes money to make money.
Speaker 1: You see, Mookie Besk got a two hundred million dollar contract,
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman got one hundred and fifty show hey got
Speaker 1: seven hundred, you got a glass, now you got snailick.
Speaker 4: Well, congratulations you Dodgers fans.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not much of a baseball fan, despite
Speaker 3: me being a five tulur in high school.
Speaker 4: But congratulations of y'all boys.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it. I'm a bigger than I like baseball.
Speaker 1: I don't watch it like I used to. I used
Speaker 1: to watch the World Series all the time. I'm very
Speaker 1: familiar with the players, I'm very familiar with the history
Speaker 1: of the game. But man, the Dodgers, A mean, think
Speaker 1: about it. It's been seventy five, seventy six. That's fifty
Speaker 1: years that you've had a National League team go back
Speaker 1: to back. I mean the Yankees. You remember the Yankees.
Speaker 1: The Yankees won what ninety two, No. Ninety eight, ninety nine,
Speaker 1: two thousand. They lost in two thousand and one to
Speaker 1: the Diamondbacks. That was the nine to eleven series. But man, Dodgers, congratulations,
Speaker 1: I mean, hey, I guess they got the best team money.
Speaker 1: Ohio State hasn't had a Heisman Trophy winner since Troy
Speaker 1: Smith captured Bill Ward back in two thousand and six,
Speaker 1: but heading into the final month of the regular season,
Speaker 1: the buck Eyes now both the Heisman front runner. Julian
Speaker 1: Saying delivered another performance in the thirty eight fourteen win
Speaker 1: over Penn State. The sophomore quarterback completed twenty of twenty
Speaker 1: three passes three hundred and sixteen yards four touchdown with
Speaker 1: the Ladis outing Saying jump Alabama quarterback Todd Simpson and
Speaker 1: Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza to become the Heisman favorite. Johnny,
Speaker 1: what you're thinking, I mean, he was an Alabama He's
Speaker 1: an Alabama transfer. Coach Saban said today that you know
Speaker 1: he was.
Speaker 2: He was the coach that had him running scout team.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 8: I mean, look, this guy is playing really really well
Speaker 8: right now. Going into the last month of the season.
Speaker 8: Obviously things change in the Heisman race. But when you
Speaker 8: look at Ohio State's picture, the way that they're playing,
Speaker 8: the way that he's playing, you think all of us
Speaker 8: would probably have to agree here that he's a shoe
Speaker 8: in for New York. He's gonna end up as a
Speaker 8: fine Yes, for sure. Now it's kind of panned somebody else.
Speaker 8: There's that moment, right, we talk about it all the time.
Speaker 5: There's the moment that comes. Has he played stellar enough
Speaker 5: to get to New York. Absolutely.
Speaker 8: Do I believe that Marcel Reids so far has played
Speaker 8: stellar enough to get to New York.
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
Speaker 8: I think Mendoza as well from Indiana has probably played
Speaker 8: well enough to get to New York. But lookin played
Speaker 8: well enough to get to New York as well if
Speaker 8: you had to ask me. Those four guys obviously leading
Speaker 8: the odds right now, if you're going by the odds makers,
Speaker 8: But there is still that time to capture a moment.
Speaker 8: There is still that time to go out and have
Speaker 8: a game or a play or a series that sets
Speaker 8: you apart from the rest. Is Ohio State going to
Speaker 8: have a game that there actually in for him to
Speaker 8: have something like that, or they just going to breeze
Speaker 8: through undefeated.
Speaker 5: Kick everybody's at Maybe we'll see.
Speaker 8: Michigan didn't look very good today, but you know that
Speaker 8: game you throw everything else out the window. I'm really
Speaker 8: looking at Marcel Reid.
Speaker 5: He does get that moment.
Speaker 8: If Texas played, If that's Texas the way they did today,
Speaker 8: you go into the last game of the season, take
Speaker 8: care of business in Missouri. Next week, you go beat Samford,
Speaker 8: you get Texas day after Thanksgiving on the road.
Speaker 5: You look what just happened.
Speaker 8: I'm really interested because no way would I have thought
Speaker 8: that Vandy would have been favored and or would have
Speaker 8: been underdogs in that game today. Vandy was never in
Speaker 8: that game today until the onside kick was wiggling its
Speaker 8: way out of bounds. They were never in that game
Speaker 8: for a second. So Texas man handled him. That was
Speaker 8: the best Texas team has looked all year. You have
Speaker 8: to for the first time, as I've sat on here
Speaker 8: and bashed Arch, Manning bashed the way Texass looked. They
Speaker 8: still have no run game. Did his receivers and their
Speaker 8: outside blocking scheme Ocho. That was some the best hat
Speaker 8: on hat outside blocking I've seen in a long, long time.
Speaker 1: Open up the play.
Speaker 5: First play of the game.
Speaker 8: Arch didn't have to do a lot to get started
Speaker 8: in the game, but get the ball out of your
Speaker 8: hand quick, get it on the perimeter, hat on a hat,
Speaker 8: take it to the crib. I would do this with
Speaker 8: Mike Evans all the time. So you do have to
Speaker 8: give Texas credit. They have a very solid old line
Speaker 8: because Vandy threw everything they could at them. Their defense
Speaker 8: and pass rush pretty solid.
Speaker 1: They played.
Speaker 5: They played really well. So if Arch can play like that.
Speaker 8: I think you go into the last game of the season,
Speaker 8: Texas versus Texas A and M, you may have Texas
Speaker 8: favorite in that one too.
Speaker 1: I think the thing is Johnny and Ocho. When you
Speaker 1: look at it, Texas played for three quarters. They can't
Speaker 1: play any better than what they played for three quarters. Right,
Speaker 1: Her defense was outstanding on Padio, arch Manning was dood.
Speaker 1: I mean he got hit in the chest and he
Speaker 1: threw a ball in the ends on I'm talking about
Speaker 1: he took a shot right to the chops and he hey,
Speaker 1: I'm like okay walking to him March. And then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, come to the fourth quarter, they forget
Speaker 1: how to play football. Two blown coverages? Bro, how you
Speaker 1: leave how twice? They got a third and nineteen and
Speaker 1: you let a guy pick it up. I was like, bro, No,
Speaker 1: it was fourth and nineteen? What third nineteen?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: And and you you let two I mean you had
Speaker 1: three players where I'm talking about DB's what are you doing?
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's just where does that come from?
Speaker 1: M hmm? And on the fourth On the fourth and nineteen,
Speaker 1: I'm like, corner, why are you sinking so much? The
Speaker 1: guy catches a sixteen yard route turned he's already at
Speaker 1: the first down.
Speaker 2: You don't have to seek that much.
Speaker 1: Hey, I was like back to saying he has four
Speaker 1: games this season completing eighty five percent of its passes
Speaker 1: with three hundred yards and at least three passing touchdowns.
Speaker 1: No quarterback in the country has more than one such game,
Speaker 1: saying who backed up Will Howard last year's championship run.
Speaker 1: Is putting up big numbers in his first season as
Speaker 1: a starter, twenty two hundred and twenty four yards, twenty
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, only three picks. Top right. Buckeys are trying
Speaker 1: to win back to back national championships for the first
Speaker 1: time in their program.
Speaker 3: And then it is Uncle Johnny. They got a good
Speaker 3: They got a good chance to do it. They got
Speaker 3: a good chance to do it. Listen saying saying what
Speaker 3: it was twenty twenty, twenty, twenty twenty three today, four tds.
Speaker 3: And when you got weapons like Cardinal Tape got Jeremiah Smith,
Speaker 3: you know, having to come to the having it, Hey, listen,
Speaker 3: having to come to the job. It's easy to get
Speaker 3: the motherfucker job done when you got them kind of
Speaker 3: weapons they got over there in Ohio State. But what
Speaker 3: I wanted to say about the Heisman Trophy, the Heisman
Speaker 3: Trophy case right, and those that are all of a sudden,
Speaker 3: the names are now in the pot towards it.
Speaker 4: What Johnny what what?
Speaker 5: What?
Speaker 1: What? Game?
Speaker 3: We?
Speaker 5: What we in?
Speaker 4: Week what ten? Week nine?
Speaker 1: Something like that. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The fact that it took this.
Speaker 3: Long for for I was really like ten, Like yeah, okay,
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm gonna just say week ten. The fact
Speaker 3: that we're finally seeing names come out of the hat
Speaker 3: where nobody has separated themselves for the past nine to
Speaker 3: ten weeks says all you need to know. That says
Speaker 3: everything you need to know. You know, they're good, they're
Speaker 3: they're okay. But the ain't no goddamn Johnny Manziel's it
Speaker 3: ain't no. Cam Newton's ain't no, ain't no Joe Burrows
Speaker 3: that from week one all the way through they cutting
Speaker 3: the food.
Speaker 1: I think the thing was what happened is that there
Speaker 1: was really no quarterback that was in the Heivesmen running
Speaker 1: last year that came back to school. So normally, you know, Johnny,
Speaker 1: you normally have a guy that was in the Hivesmen
Speaker 1: running or you know, he was under and then he
Speaker 1: came back. But you get Travis he leaves, you get
Speaker 1: all those guys that's leaving, You get a askting Genty
Speaker 1: he leaves, so busted. Think about saying wasn't even starting,
Speaker 1: Todd Simpson wasn't even starting, arch Manning wasn't starting. So
Speaker 1: you you coming back with the and guys have to
Speaker 1: show you. You know they tried to. Arch Manning is
Speaker 1: the favorite based on what now. He's played well the
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. But how you gonna say he's
Speaker 1: the favorite now? Marcel Reid he he was a starter
Speaker 1: last year. He probably was him and Mindulza was he
Speaker 1: like the only starters that we can say, like, okay, you.
Speaker 8: Can really only say that for Marcel after he comes
Speaker 8: into second half versus LSU last year. If you looked
Speaker 8: away Texas and m end of the season last year,
Speaker 8: you weren't putting him on no Heisman list. If there
Speaker 8: was any quarterback there was returning this year that you
Speaker 8: would have had on the Heisman list early in the season,
Speaker 8: it would have been Penn State's quarterback.
Speaker 5: That would have been Drew Lark.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh well yeah, Alan, I don't know, don't
Speaker 1: don't get me started. And matiir what MATERI didn't materir
Speaker 1: transfer into.
Speaker 5: Uh Arizona talk earlier in this year, for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so I think that's that's that's what you
Speaker 1: have to And you said it, Johnny. You go back
Speaker 1: and look at Joe Burrow. He had his highman moment
Speaker 1: against Alabama. He had that run. They come out there
Speaker 1: and they go ahead there because you know it's star
Speaker 1: versus stars. Look at all those wide receivers that go
Speaker 1: in the first round. The quarterback is number one, and
Speaker 1: then you get to a going uh number five, and
Speaker 1: then you have all those receivers. You got Burrow, I mean,
Speaker 1: excuse me. You got Jella, and you got Chased, you
Speaker 1: got Judy, you got Rugs, you got a Devonte Smith,
Speaker 1: you got Jaylen n Wattle, you got Nae man bro
Speaker 1: look at look at all the talent out there. So
Speaker 1: and then Joe has that moment. You have Davonte Smith
Speaker 1: who just goes crazy. Jaylen Wattle gets hurt and every
Speaker 1: week he's having one eighty two hundred, he's running a
Speaker 1: punt back, he's doing something that No, you got to
Speaker 1: stand up and pay attention to me. Well, like you said, Johnny,
Speaker 1: I'm just waiting. I don't know who or win. They're
Speaker 1: gonna have that moment. You had your moment down in Tuscaloosa.
Speaker 1: That was Johnny Manziel's coming out party. From that point on,
Speaker 1: they got a.
Speaker 8: Kid man down there, and I needed help though even
Speaker 8: after that game. And this is a crazy thing the
Speaker 8: way the college football universe works. There is an offensive
Speaker 8: coordinator right now who's sitting at Texas A and M
Speaker 8: in Marcel Reed's room every day coaching him.
Speaker 5: The name is Colin Klein.
Speaker 8: On week twelve of the season, Oh from Canklyin was
Speaker 8: gonna win the Heisman that year. Colin Klein was winning
Speaker 8: that race. I was making a late push, but they
Speaker 8: played Baylor. After we played Missouri, our last game of
Speaker 8: the season, I had done everything I could do. We
Speaker 8: went out smoked. Missouri had an unbelievable game. And when
Speaker 8: we got out of that game, I went to a
Speaker 8: party with all my boys on the team and everybody
Speaker 8: was doing a ring dunk in Texas A and M.
Speaker 8: And I was glued to a Kansas State versus Baylor
Speaker 8: game and Baylor beat the breaks off of Kansas State.
Speaker 8: All Incline had a really rough night and I truly
Speaker 8: believed that. When I left that night and went back home,
Speaker 8: I knew that I had won the Heisman that night.
Speaker 8: There used to be a thing called Heisman Pundit, and
Speaker 8: for nine years in a row, this guy had a
Speaker 8: website that would had predicted who win. Eight of the
Speaker 8: nine years, he would collect enough votes from voters to
Speaker 8: see who would win it. And I was on this
Speaker 8: site every day checking And when he had talied up
Speaker 8: enough votes and said I was going to win, I
Speaker 8: kind of knew, but I needed help that year to
Speaker 8: even be able to get there. And when I was
Speaker 8: going into the Heisman, I thought, Manton, I might sneak
Speaker 8: in and take it.
Speaker 5: The way the media was around then, I.
Speaker 1: Thought, because you came from so far, you got to
Speaker 1: realize where you came, you wasn't even nobody was.
Speaker 5: Really lucky to even be on the field.
Speaker 3: Huh yeah, wait, hey, Johnny, who did you say, Mike,
Speaker 3: who you say you thought was gonna win it?
Speaker 5: And Titeo, that whole girlfriend thing came out.
Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 8: The way it was feeling like even at the Heisman,
Speaker 8: even because you do the College Football Awards ESPN and
Speaker 8: Disney before that, and he came through, won a lot
Speaker 8: of awards, and then we got to New York. We're
Speaker 8: doing all the press and everything. I'm like, man, this
Speaker 8: guy might really have a shot. Not their name's a
Speaker 8: really beloved team in college football. He was a great
Speaker 8: player that year, got his team into the national title luckily,
Speaker 8: you know, and I had the freshman bias too.
Speaker 5: That was a big thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well they had started. They had forgotten about that
Speaker 1: because once they let Tebow had won it because they
Speaker 1: used to be a situation. Adrian Peterson could have easily
Speaker 1: won the Heisman Trophy. Herschel Walker could have easily won
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. Marshall falk his year. You go back
Speaker 1: to look at the year the Gino Tretta what it?
Speaker 1: How the hell Marshall Faulk didn't win the war? I
Speaker 1: don't know, but there are a lot of guys there.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of guys that wanted We go
Speaker 1: back and look at like hold on, Like, I mean, hell,
Speaker 1: if I played d one ball in two thousand and one,
Speaker 1: I think I have won to hide it because Eric
Speaker 1: Crouch ends up winning it, I'm like, how they like what?
Speaker 1: And then Jason White wins it one year. I'm like,
Speaker 1: y'all just giving you, y'all gotta give it to y'all.
Speaker 1: Figure y'all got to give to somebody, no respectfully, O Joe,
Speaker 1: as you like to use the world respectfully. But Eric
Speaker 1: Crouch rushing for a thousand yards, been throwing for like
Speaker 1: seven hundred not ain't no Heisman. I'm sorry. And it
Speaker 1: took him throwing the ball in the ends on it
Speaker 1: and hitting somebody put getting kicked up in there. Johnny,
Speaker 1: you probably were too young to remember that when that happened.
Speaker 1: But uh bad, it's gonna be It's gonna be close.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna have a very, very close Heisman
Speaker 1: Trophy race this year.
Speaker 8: I think if I think if Sam comes in and
Speaker 8: has a good game in the Michigan game, they go
Speaker 8: to the championship game, they were all things out. He
Speaker 8: continues to play the way he is, throwing for a
Speaker 8: lot of yards, throwing touchdowns three plus touchdowns every every game.
Speaker 8: If he does that continues the streak that he's on,
Speaker 8: he's going to be tough to go beat. But the
Speaker 8: thing about Marcel is he has so much ability to
Speaker 8: be able to bring in like he had a couple
Speaker 8: flashes that almost looked Lamar esque last week versus LSU. Yeah,
Speaker 8: you know, he's kind of skirting into the end zone.
Speaker 8: He's so deadly with his feet, his receivers. You know,
Speaker 8: he's chunking the ball around. I think he has that
Speaker 8: dual threat that fits what you've seen from myself from
Speaker 8: a Mariota type. Now, does he throw it as well
Speaker 8: as us right now at this point, No, but he
Speaker 8: runs it well enough to have a dual threat with
Speaker 8: you know, is in line for Heisman guys in the past.
Speaker 5: So obviously I'm.
Speaker 8: Going to be a Homer. I'm I'm starting my Marcel
Speaker 8: for Heisman campaign here. Relatively, I think about November fifteenth,
Speaker 8: I'm really going to fire up the train.
Speaker 5: But nevertheless, I think we'll have a good race.
Speaker 8: One right now that seems a little bit unclear, but
Speaker 8: in a couple of weeks, two three weeks, I think
Speaker 8: we'll start to see some people pull away.
Speaker 1: In a crystallize itself. Arch Manning in the Texas returned
Speaker 1: to Darryl K. Rock Royal Stadium for the first home
Speaker 1: game in forty two days. On Saturday, Arch went twenty
Speaker 1: five or thirty three three twenty eight three touchdowns, no
Speaker 1: I iNTS. The number twenty long Horns held off the
Speaker 1: number nine Vanderbilt Commodorees despite the Commodore scoring twenty one
Speaker 1: to fourth quarter points. Arch became the first player in
Speaker 1: Texas history with three hundred passing yards, three touchdowns, seventy
Speaker 1: five percent completion percentage against a top ten opponent. Manning
Speaker 1: was blitzed on ten of his thirty four dropbacks. He
Speaker 1: finished eight of ten one forty five. All three of
Speaker 1: his touchdowns came against five or more pressure. His career
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Blitz. He has the most touchdowns against
Speaker 1: the Blitz in his career, and all three came on
Speaker 1: play action. He had a three touchdown. He had such
Speaker 1: three touchdown passing his career. Coming into today, Longhorns fans
Speaker 1: chanted overrated at Commodore's quarter back Diego.
Speaker 4: He wasn't no overrated. Well probably with twenty seven thirty
Speaker 4: eight for three tds.
Speaker 1: You and he had three sixty five man Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then he only turned the ball over once. That won't turnover.
Speaker 1: I just think the thing was, look, Texas got concerned.
Speaker 1: How do you know you get a big league like that,
Speaker 1: you start running the ball. The next thing you know,
Speaker 1: you in third and eight and then I guess what,
Speaker 1: you're off the field. Now, team get a little momentum. Okay,
Speaker 1: they scored. Okay, you keep the ball for two or
Speaker 1: three minutes, you kick it back to him. Now you
Speaker 1: blow a possession. Now you blow a coverage. Now guess what.
Speaker 1: The guy just scored in ten seconds. Now you got
Speaker 1: hell on your hands. Now you're like, okay, now what
Speaker 1: do I call? I want to make them burn the
Speaker 1: time oules, but I also want to give us an
Speaker 1: opportunity to try to, you know, run some time off
Speaker 1: the clock. Now they get the ball, and you guys
Speaker 1: had it. They had.
Speaker 2: The guy bobbled the ball back ahead. I mean, you
Speaker 2: won't get a better.
Speaker 8: Hearing them talking. This infuriated me. Why we got linebackers
Speaker 8: on the on the team because ever felt leather in
Speaker 8: their life other than the couch and boys they touched
Speaker 8: the rocket.
Speaker 1: You put linebacker the people up because you hope the
Speaker 1: ball they didn't know what to do with it looked
Speaker 1: like a look like an ice cube bouncing around somebody's hands.
Speaker 8: I mean, look Texas throughout that game. Yeah, you get comfy,
Speaker 8: you let off the gas a little bit. It is
Speaker 8: hard to keep that pace and keep that tempo up
Speaker 8: when you you're just trying to get out of there, right.
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, Texas, that was
Speaker 8: a dominant performance one that I have to give to them.
Speaker 8: Stark game plan that and and Vanderbilt very very well.
Speaker 8: They knew their offensive line was really struggling at Vanderbilt.
Speaker 5: They did the week before.
Speaker 8: They brought some good blitzes Colin Simmons. They had some
Speaker 8: guys really getting after Pavia all day. The pass rush
Speaker 8: really didn't settle down until the fourth quarter on those
Speaker 8: last drives where I think sometimes you get enough plays
Speaker 8: in college football where the play count starts to get
Speaker 8: up there and guys just get gas.
Speaker 4: It's just what it is.
Speaker 5: But that was it was pure domination.
Speaker 8: I mean from pretty much until nine minutes, eight minutes
Speaker 8: left in that ball game, it was all Texas and
Speaker 8: it could have you know, there was a late pass
Speaker 8: where Texas ended up missing a field goal to give
Speaker 8: Vandy the ball at like the thirty five or forty that.
Speaker 5: Kind of started the whole thing.
Speaker 8: On third down, Yeah, the guy bounced and hit the
Speaker 8: ground when they reviewed it, But when they put the
Speaker 8: points up and said that it was good. And I
Speaker 8: looked at the scoreboard and it said forty to sixteen.
Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, this a this ass whooping. Yeah bad,
Speaker 8: And that's how it felt really throughout the whole day.
Speaker 8: I think you got to see a glimpse of what
Speaker 8: Texas could be or where he's expected to be this season,
Speaker 8: and this has given them it should And I did
Speaker 8: an autograph signing today with Marcel Reid, Concepcion, Cravers, all
Speaker 8: my aggies because they're on a bye week here in
Speaker 8: Houston and we're watching that game and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 8: Andy's getting their ass kicked and they're like yah, really,
Speaker 8: I'm like, this should give Texas the momentum they need
Speaker 8: going into the schedule that they have.
Speaker 5: In my opinion, you know, you be the top ten
Speaker 5: team you go in. This gives you a.
Speaker 3: Little spark listen. And one of the reasons why they
Speaker 3: can be the top ten team. One of the reasons
Speaker 3: why Texas looked the way they look, you know, these
Speaker 3: these past few weeks because of the quarterback play. Arch
Speaker 3: Man is arch Man has decided to come to the party.
Speaker 3: He decided to come to the party and play much
Speaker 3: much better than what he looked like at the beginning.
Speaker 4: Of the season and in the game again, if.
Speaker 2: He had been playing like this in the beginning. Oh,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that he'd be so high.
Speaker 3: That's what they would have only one loss, yep.
Speaker 8: But if he plays like that, you have a defense
Speaker 8: like that, an offensive line that can protect you. Got
Speaker 8: a good coach the one area of the flaw that
Speaker 8: you haven't seen in their game the entirety of the year.
Speaker 8: And Sark even said this, said this today, if we
Speaker 8: can just rush the ball for one hundred, one hundred
Speaker 8: and twenty.
Speaker 5: Five yards, we'll be okay.
Speaker 8: He's on his knees every day in that building begging
Speaker 8: to be able to find a running lane. They can't
Speaker 8: run the ball nowhere in a Pop Warner league right now,
Speaker 8: they couldn't run the ball.
Speaker 5: And that's just like one thing that's gonna catch up
Speaker 5: to them.
Speaker 8: Like you run into a defense like A and M
Speaker 8: who plays the run pretty well, Like you're gonna have
Speaker 8: a hard day when you become one dimensional.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you one dimensional. I mean, if you can't you
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to make people think you
Speaker 1: could run the football. You might not be able to
Speaker 1: run it, but if you just if them guys just
Speaker 1: say they can't run the football, They're not gonna try
Speaker 1: to run the football because they can't, and we just
Speaker 1: gonna go hunt the water back. You can't. You in
Speaker 1: for a long, long, long ass day.
Speaker 4: And Johnny, you know that goes for the NFL as well.
Speaker 3: If if you can if you can't establish the run,
Speaker 3: if you can't push and apply pressure to players against
Speaker 3: their own will, and having the running game to to
Speaker 3: to kind of save you so you can pass the
Speaker 3: ball most of the time.
Speaker 4: You know you got to run the ball to open
Speaker 4: up the pass.
Speaker 5: Play, your play actually goes out the window. What are
Speaker 5: you thinking for you.
Speaker 4: Once you come one dimensional? It's a rap.
Speaker 1: It's a rap, Johnny. The Aggers are undefeated and ranked
Speaker 1: number one in ESPN Strength of Schedule metric. You guys
Speaker 1: beating Notre Dame, you beat Auburn, you beat Florida, Who's
Speaker 1: they said, you beat the LSU. You got Missouri who's
Speaker 1: ranked nineteenth. Uh and but you got also you're on
Speaker 1: the road against number twentieth Texas.
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys already spoke about this.
Speaker 8: Without Florida win for US looks a little bit better
Speaker 8: today because they had they.
Speaker 5: Had Georgia on the on the road. They had him
Speaker 5: on the road.
Speaker 8: I don't know if it's you know, sometimes you get
Speaker 8: an interim coach in there, you get somebody else play.
Speaker 8: Lagway showed a little bit of flashes. I mean they
Speaker 8: played Georgia really, really tough today. I think, you know,
Speaker 8: Georgia had to go out and make some plays. I think,
Speaker 8: once again, you know they're kind of lucky to be
Speaker 8: able to skape out of there. But getting back to
Speaker 8: the Aggies, look, you got to go still continue to
Speaker 8: take care of business and just one game at a time,
Speaker 8: take care of business. Everything is setting up for an
Speaker 8: unbelievable showdown. This is why the rivalry was brought back.
Speaker 8: And I think there's a lot of guys in our
Speaker 8: locker room, and I know there's a lot of guys
Speaker 8: in that Texas locker room that remember how last year felt.
Speaker 8: I went to that game and I sat through four
Speaker 8: quarters of that. We didn't come close to winning that game,
Speaker 8: not for a moment. Both teams have a lot of
Speaker 8: people back. Obviously Arch is the guy now, but Arch
Speaker 8: got in that game last year, brought a spark, scored
Speaker 8: a touchdown. He's gonna feel confident coming into this game
Speaker 8: against Elco. I think for our guys at A and M, listen,
Speaker 8: this is the chance to get to that game undefeated
Speaker 8: and do something that hasn't been done at this school
Speaker 8: in a long, long time. Marcel, you want that heisman,
Speaker 8: Go and take it. Go and take it against a
Speaker 8: team that Texas by then, but they were what twenty
Speaker 8: this week, they're gonna be ranked closer to the top
Speaker 8: gen beat two top ten teams this year they might
Speaker 8: be You go beat you have a number Miami, have
Speaker 8: a number three versus a number twelve matchup in the
Speaker 8: last week of the season, with the ticket to the
Speaker 8: net to the SEC Championship on the line. You've already
Speaker 8: punched the ticket to the playoff. You win this game,
Speaker 8: this gives you a two seed and a bye. Everything
Speaker 8: you want right there in front of you, how bad
Speaker 8: you want it. You want to hit the club, you
Speaker 8: want to go chase girls, you want to mess around,
Speaker 8: you want to get in the book, you want to
Speaker 8: bless you, or you want to go get it. Because
Speaker 8: for A and M, I think you're you're starting to
Speaker 8: get some respect. I think I heard saving say this
Speaker 8: the other day. The two teams that have impressing the most,
Speaker 8: that have shown complete from top to bottom, where they
Speaker 8: really look like they don't have a ton of flaws
Speaker 8: and look solid fundamentally through all areas of football special teams, offense, defense.
Speaker 8: I have a head coach that's not putting you in
Speaker 8: bad situations. It's Ohio State and A and M. So
Speaker 8: for Miagis, it's still premature because anything can happen in
Speaker 8: the SEC if you have one of those off days.
Speaker 8: But everything that you want is right there in front
Speaker 8: of you.
