00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: The volume college football Reactions presented by jab Jaylab has

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 1: the best audio products in the game. They're ready to

3
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: take care of you this football season, traveling to watch

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: your favorite team or just streaming the game at home.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 1: Find the Blue Box at Walmart, Target, Best Buy, or

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: go to JLab dot com. Love their stuff the Blue Box.

7
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: All right, listen, this is just for Trojan fans. But

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: here's about twenty minutes my thoughts on the season overall,

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 1: because you know, I'm into that recruiting stuff and portal stuff,

10
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: and I think it's one of my favorite parts and

11
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: volume that I just if I'm in the mood, I

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: went for an hour walk, got a coffee and thought,

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: had so many thoughts ruminating in my head, and I thought,

14
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: you know, I want to get it out there. So

15
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to be watching football all day anyway. So

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: let's talk about Lincoln Riley that time out late in

17
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: the game. After the game, he went out and said, listen,

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: ten minute on the field, you know, pick your poison,

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: we call the time out. It all worked out. I

20
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: did not like them moving away from the running game

21
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half and early in

22
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: the third quarter. I think they have found a star

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: running back in Brian Jackson, who's got a Lendale White feel.

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: I think they've really found he looks like the most

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: formidable power back they have had since the Pete Carroll era.

26
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: I think you have a star in the freshman Brian

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:30,119
Speaker 1: Jackson out of Texas two thirty five, powerful, decisive, hits

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: the hole moving forward. That's a Sunday player that looks

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: like a Sunday running back. He's not gonna blow down

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: the sidelines. He's not a speedback, but he is a

31
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: power back and he can find the whole decisively. I

32
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: really like him. More on that later. But Lincoln Riley's here.

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: He's got a long contract. They put three hundred million

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: into the facilities, the collectives up to eighteen million. They

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: can buy some of the best players. In my opinion,

36
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: the need for this program is a general manager above everything.

37
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: The current people in place are allies of Lincoln Riley.

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: To me, that's not good enough. If you want to

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: compete with the big boys, you have to go hire

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 1: a former NFLGM. You know, there's a lot of people.

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: You could hire Chris Peterson and just say Chris, you're

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: the general manager. Run the program. That'd be one of

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: the first guys I called. I'm not sure he has

44
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: any interest. He now works at Fox as a broadcaster.

45
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: But that's the number one need of the program. To

46
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: get to the big boys, you got to get a

47
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: general manager, and the current people in place, to me,

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: aren't at the level necessary. The second thing I would

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: talk about is I didn't like all the play calling.

50
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: I thought going away from Brian Jackson in the run

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: game a couple different times wasn't prudent, but it all

52
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: worked out. Let's talk about the season that just passed.

53
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: You beat eight and four LSU to start, and you

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: beat eight and four Texas A and M, and you

55
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 1: lost in overtime to a Penn State team that's vying

56
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: from the national championship. The Maryland lost was awful, Rutgers Washington,

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but you went to against the SEC.

58
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: I think that's as many wins as Oklahoma had against

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: the SEC. And again you had Penn State in a

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: tough spot. Penn State's a better team, clearly so. And

61
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: also the schedule last year, the schedule with first year

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: starter Miller Moss. You opened up LSU and then you're

63
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: at Michigan a couple of weeks later next year. The

64
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: schedule is about as easy as you can get in

65
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. Missouri State and Georgia Southern to start

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: a notch below LSU at Purdue, Michigan State at Illinois,

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: and then idle. You all have two weeks to prepare

68
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: for Michigan and their freshman quarterback. That's a lot different

69
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: than LSU and a couple of weeks later at the

70
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: Big House with Miller Moss. That's a whole different scenario.

71
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: So the schedule plays into their favor. Two weeks to

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: prep for a powerhouse in Michigan. That's good. Quarterback Jaden Mayava.

73
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: He's a little too reckless for my taste, but he's

74
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: a sophomore and from UNLV to USC, he stepped up

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: in competition, started late in the year. He's never had

76
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: a real off season. With Lincoln Riley, I don't necessarily

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: think they're going to bring a quarterback in. He's a sophomore.

78
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you saw from first half to second half

79
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: the difference in him last night. I mean, he's got

80
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: when he steps into it, he's got an arm. He

81
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: looked anxious. He's a player that's I think as good

82
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: as his confidence. I thought he was very confident late.

83
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: He lacked confidence early when they fell behind. Too many

84
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: balls are thrown in harm's way. But again, he's a sophomore.

85
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: He's never had an off season program with Lincoln Riley.

86
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: They're also bringing in a five star high school kid

87
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: from southern California. I'm not sure they're going to go

88
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 1: outside the program. Will he get better? Absolutely? Is he

89
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 1: an elite college quarterback? To me, very debatable, i'd lean know,

90
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: but you know, you start looking around at the teams

91
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: vying for national championship, not all of them have NFL quarterbacks.

92
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: You don't have to have an NFL quarterback the positives

93
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: on the roster. Let's go back to Brian Jackson. Six

94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: feet two thirty feels like a Lendale White would be

95
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: my comp really really big time player. I mean that

96
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: go there. They got backup offensive lineman and he is

97
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: finding big holes. Decisive, not a burner, but decisive power back.

98
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: Kind of a one step cut guy like Zach Charboney

99
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: was at UCLA. Sort of a goes one cut off

100
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: to the races. I like him a lot. Jacoby Lane,

101
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: mackay Lemonar obviously elite receivers. I think too much is

102
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: made of Deuce Robinson and Branch transferring out of the program.

103
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was too cluttered. Last year Hudson as well,

104
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was too cluttered. I think I think

105
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: that the reality is guys want touches and wide receiver

106
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Nfler College has always been a little higher maintenance positions.

107
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: Guys want touches. Jacobe Lane's a Sunday player. He'll come

108
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: back as a junior one more year at US. That's

109
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: your number one. Lemon is a one, A outstanding. Then

110
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: you're gonna have upgrades at tight end. The tight end

111
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: position I think will be have more dynamic playmakers next year.

112
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Some of the kids in the program now are bigger, stronger.

113
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley doesn't use a tight end a ton anyway.

114
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 1: But you know, when I look at what USC brings

115
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: back in the skill department, even the quarterback moves pretty well.

116
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 1: I like their foundation. It's also my biggest complaint this

117
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: year is they just didn't have enough NFL bodies on

118
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: the offense, offensive line and defensive line. They just didn't

119
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: have any depth. Next year they bring back Elijah Page.

120
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: He'll play he'll be a top two or three left

121
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: tackle in the Big Ten. Probably is last year at USC,

122
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: hopefully not. Tobias Raymond is certainly I thought last night

123
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: he's your right tackle. Been in the program three years,

124
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: big hard working kid. Long and then Justin Tuhanu, who

125
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: got duty last night as a freshman from Huntington Beach.

126
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: I think he's tremendous. I've been telling a couple of

127
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 1: people in the program, I'm like, that's your kid. So

128
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: you have three capable starting offensive tackles this year. I

129
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: thought it was Page, who was a red shirt freshman.

130
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: That's just not good enough in the Big Ten. I

131
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: think you could probably bring in a transfer if you

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: wanted to compete for a job at right tackle. But

133
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: you're bringing into excellent, four star offensive tackles who can

134
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: red shirt and then play. I really honestly feel good

135
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: about the offensive tackle position for the first time in

136
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: maybe twelve to fifteen years. Between Page, Raymond, and tu

137
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: and new those are NFL bodies. However it plays out

138
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: for their careers, I don't know, but I feel really

139
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: good about that. The other thing that's been I remember

140
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: years ago talking to Urban Meyer about this. I said California,

141
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: whatever it is, just does not produce. For a state

142
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: of thirty eight million people, it does not produce a

143
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: lot of great defensive line bodies. Maybe it's the diet hell,

144
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's the California diet. Who knows. And

145
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: we had talked about that. I remember at the time saying,

146
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: if I ever went to USC, he goes. You know,

147
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: you just got to live in Houston, in Atlanta, and

148
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: you know areas of the country that produced three hundred

149
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: and twenty five pound defensive linemen. For whatever reasons, California

150
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: doesn't produce a ton of those players. You often have

151
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: to leave the state, and that's what Lincoln Riley's done.

152
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: I think Floyd Bouchard, Miami Beach defensive tackle that will

153
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: come in this year as a true freshman, probably won't

154
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: play a lot. He'll be rotational. Looks like an SEC

155
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,599
Speaker 1: interior defensive lineman. Jakeem Stewart, another from the South Louisiana

156
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: looks like an SEC defensive linement. Some of this stuff

157
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 1: is aesthetics. We've just been too small in the trenches.

158
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: Two and seventy five pound defensive linemen Jamal Jarrett from

159
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: Georgia's coming in as a transfer, big body, Keishawn Silver

160
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: from Kentucky, big body. So I just I feel like

161
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 1: the look of the defensive line looks more like you

162
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: get at a Michigan or a Clemson or in LSU.

163
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: Are they all great players? Probably not, But that has

164
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: been my complaint now for several years running. We just

165
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: don't have enough left tackle NFL Sunday bodies in the program.

166
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: I think now we have three. We don't have enough

167
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: NFL bodies in the defensive interior. Now we have three

168
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: or four. So and there's a couple of freshmen this

169
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: year that played a little bit. They did play in

170
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: the Bowl. So I think that's very promising to me

171
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: because I think when you move into the Big ten,

172
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: the weather's overrated. I mean, let's be honest. College football

173
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: games are September, October, November, and you maybe have one

174
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: in December, right, you know, if usc made the playoff,

175
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: you know they maybe have a cold game on the

176
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: road somewhere up north. That's that's fine. Remember your your

177
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: last regular season game is gonna usually be potentially with

178
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: the UCLA so Homer away. The weather's fine. I think

179
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: the weather aspect is overstated. I do think what the

180
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: Big Ten is and you've seen this with Oregon. Oregon

181
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: has had elite offensive and defensive line recruiting with Dan

182
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: Lanning and Mario Cristobal and the transfer portal. They're bigger,

183
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: they're bigger and they have more size up front. Oregon's fast,

184
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,079
Speaker 1: that's their bread and butter. And USC teams again, plenty

185
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: of receivers and corners, safeties, wide outs in southern California.

186
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: But the big bodies are what the Big Ten has.

187
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: And as college football schedule is now longer, you go

188
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: to a twelve team playoff off the regular season, there's

189
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: no reason to load up and play an LSU to

190
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,439
Speaker 1: start the season. You're just begging for injuries. Would I've

191
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: said this, I'd move Notre Dame off the schedule. There's

192
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: no reason if I have to play Ohio State, Oregon,

193
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Washington will be better, Michigan Penn State. Why schedule potential losses.

194
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Have a couple of cupcakes early or winnable games. Get

195
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: your quarterback, get your young freshman looks, get your offensive

196
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: line right. By week three or four or five. When

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 1: you have to go to an Illinois you know, don't

198
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: be a romantic Let baseball have all the purists get

199
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: the Notre Dame game. Look at USC schedule going forward,

200
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 1: plush the twelve team playoff. You're trying to get into

201
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: that thing. It's like political races. You can talk about

202
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: where you stand on this, shue this issue, and where

203
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: you stand on that issue. Get elected, all right. Have

204
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: policies that most people can embrace and put their arms around.

205
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: The game is get elected not being strident and a

206
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: purest and precious on certain issues that can alien and

207
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 1: alienate a large part of your contingency. It's the same

208
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: in football schedule to win games. Nick Saban for a decade.

209
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: Look at that out of conference schedule. He wasn't going

210
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: on the road his last eight nine years at Alabama

211
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: if he didn't have to. Why would you do that?

212
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: Why would you ever want to go to South Ben

213
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: against Marcus Freeman and that roster. It's idiotic. Why do

214
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: you want to play LSU Play them in the playoff

215
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: if you have to, But just don't outthink the room

216
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: soft early schedule, cross your fingers on where you get

217
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: your buy and get to the playoff. That's all that matters,

218
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: not the romance of playing Notre Dame and the four Horsemen,

219
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: get over it. That's not the game. Nick Saban always

220
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: understood that, you know, make sure they had their buys

221
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: before some of their biggest games, the LSU game and

222
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: it was Cupcake City. Any moment he could give, you know,

223
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: starters thirty snaps instead of sixty or seventy against Georgia

224
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: or Florida or somebody in the SEC. So the schedule's

225
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: weaker next year. I'm not sure what they're going to

226
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: do at quarterback. I think they're going to go with

227
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: the guys they have. They have a start at running back,

228
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: two stars at receiver, ample size up front. Some of

229
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: it's very very young, but that's okay. I just think

230
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: you have to take a deep breath on this stuff.

231
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley's not going anywhere. I thought that win, to

232
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: finish with the winning record mattered. It makes the off

233
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 1: season better. They've already gone to the portal for a

234
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: running back needed they needed a back up running back

235
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: now that Brian Jackson looks like the starter for a kicker,

236
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: two interior defensive linemen and a corner again, I could

237
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: see them bringing in maybe a senior offensive tackle, not

238
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 1: a left tackle, but just for rotational purposes, injury purposes.

239
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: It's a long shlog of a regular season. I think

240
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: they need a linebacker, an active, rangey linebacker somewhere. I

241
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: like some of the young freshmen that will now be

242
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: sophomore as a red shirt freshman at linebacker. I think

243
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: they've recruited it pretty well the last couple of years,

244
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: but they probably know need to go get sort of

245
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 1: an upper class linebacker. But this the first year Lincoln

246
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Riley had the program. The first two years it was

247
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: very much about the transfer portal, and I am disappointed

248
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: with a Southern California recruiting. Not gonna lie about that.

249
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: But you know, you start looking around college football, it's

250
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: a new world. Ohio State had two huge regular season games.

251
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: Oregon Michigan lost both that are in the playoff, and

252
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: the Penn State game close. You know, the world's changed.

253
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose games. You can look at USC schedule.

254
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: You know you could see a game at Notre Dame

255
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: that's going to be really tough. You know Notre Dame.

256
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard's going to the pros. You know, there's rumors

257
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: that they they may be in the portal for a

258
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: quarterback at the college level that many of you have

259
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: seen play for a big program. So I won't give

260
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: that away yet, but don't be surprised if a very

261
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: very well known college quarterback transfers to Notre Dame wants

262
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and I think they're in a good spot.

263
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 1: I just I got to tell you, Brian Jackson, that

264
00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: running back, that was a revelation. That's a real thing.

265
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: That's a big ten running back. That's not a guy

266
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: that's moving around in shifty and you know, five eight

267
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: and like one ninety five and can make you miss

268
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: in space. No, No, that's six foot two thirty five,

269
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: plant the foot, decisive head down four yards become six.

270
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: That was a real revelation to me. And the O

271
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: line and d talent, the aesthetic, the optics is big,

272
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: long Sunday looking bodies. So there you go. That's what

273
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: I got this morning. I don't know what that was,

274
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: but that's what I got this morning. You know what, Saturdays,

275
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna shower it. I don't think I'm gonna

276
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: sit and watch football. I got a little gumbo in

277
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: the fridge and I'm gonna dive into that thing. It's

278
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: not gonna be the healthiest day for me. Hey, I

279
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: can't eat blueberries in Canalo three hundred and sixty five

280
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: days a year. May have a shot of bourbon, some gumbo.
