1
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't care about spring games. I hear it

2
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: a lot.

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,759
Speaker 2: I don't care about spring games. That has become in

4
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 2: college football.

5
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: What I don't really care.

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: What my ex is doing has become on the streets

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: in day to day life. You say one thing, but

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: I think your search histories may say something else. And

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,479
Speaker 2: if you're anti spring game, this year's probably not the

10
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: show for you. Tonight, we're jampacked, We're hi atape deceptively

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: beautiful downtown Nashville, Tennessee. I'll tell you why it's deceptive

12
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 2: in a second. At a Sunday, April sixteenth year of

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: our lower twenty twenty three, I got spring game reaction

14
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,279
Speaker 2: coast to coast, wall to wall, I got all kind

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: of takeaways. Not that we're ones to overreact around here,

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: but there are several things to talk about. Did you

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: hear the sound the sound of that great big transfer

18
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: portal door opening? Already some names of varying degrees of

19
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: bigness have entered the portal. I think it's going to

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: be a really active week. We've got quarterback battle updates

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 2: to talk about. We have no off season in sight,

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: and we are all the better for it. They're watching

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: us in Sandersville, Georgia, and Arbor, Michigan. May's landing, New

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 2: Jersey about fifteen minutes outside of Atlantic City, I'm told,

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 2: and Greenwood, Arkansas is tuned in. Do you hear this

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: voice or what's left of it? Allergies have attacked me,

27
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: they're in the process of attacking me. Really, it isn't subsiding.

28
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 2: It's not in the past. It's right here, like an

29
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: unstoppable rebel force. Tonight's show brought to you by Academy

30
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors, but also Flooney's clariton, you guys could

31
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: have gotten into this. I'm hopped up on probably more

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 2: allergy medication than is legal in most states. But we

33
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: got protocols in place. If I have to dump out

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: for a second tonight, Colin knows what to do, and so.

35
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: If you're watching live, I may have to take multiple.

36
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Breaks to sneeze or blow the nose, whatever the case

37
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 2: may be. But what we're not going to do unless

38
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: my voice goes trash happened before, is we're not going

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: to cancel the show because we got far too much

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: to talk about. And by the way, as we dive

41
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: into the show, we're going to have another one Tuesday

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: because I've got to go out of town. I've got

43
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: to go to a speaking engagement Thursday. So Tuesday I'll

44
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 2: have another late Kick Live. We've just been rattling them

45
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: off back to back to back lately. Okay, let's dive in.

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: We got a lot of spring to talk about. Spring games.

47
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: Yesterday we had one in Athens, Georgia. Success does a

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: funny thing. It puts trophies on the mantle, but also

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: it brings the more casual spring.

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: Fan to the table.

51
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: So at Georgia, this is two years in a row

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: now where they've won a national championship. And the reason

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: I mentioned this is because sometimes you get people to

54
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: the spring table who normally wouldn't be at the spring table.

55
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: And that's a good thing. They had a big crowd

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: there yesterday. It's a good thing.

57
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: But also it means that you have to you have

58
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 2: to sort of put on the back of the ticket

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 2: or put at the bottom of the screen a little asterisk. Hey,

60
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: not everything taken here should be taken as gospel. Let's

61
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 2: just let's apply the proper spring filters. And you're having

62
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 2: to teach a lot of people what that's about. There

63
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: was big news as the game's going on. Well, there

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 2: was news that I was told was big, and that

65
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: was Bear Alexander hopping into the transfer portal. It's irrelevant

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: to Georgia. I'm just telling you you won't care about

67
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: it by the second week of September. But what was

68
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 2: big news is Carson Beck looks like a really good quarterback,

69
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: which falls in line with what we had expected. But

70
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: here's why it's big news. It's big news obviously because

71
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: it's the most important position on the team, but also

72
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: it means we've got a clear favorite to start there,

73
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: which again falls in line with what we expected. But

74
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: it's one thing to think something, it's another thing to

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: have it validated. And if you have followed the Georgia

76
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: spring progression closely, you know, if you've been over on

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: Dogs twenty four to seven, for example, and you've been

78
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: listening to those guys talk, it hasn't been the smoothest

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: of sailing for Carson Beck this spring. It's probably a

80
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: good thing for him by the way he struggled a

81
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: little bit. He's had some bad practices. I don't think

82
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: he did overwhelmingly good in the last scrimmage they had.

83
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: But then he overcame.

84
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: It looked really good. I mean looked exceptional for a

85
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: spring game yesterday. I don't think there's any question right

86
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 2: now who's in line to start for them in week one.

87
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: But as Kirby Smart would tell you, we've got about

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 2: twenty five or thirty percent of the puzzle figured out.

89
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 2: We got summer, we got fall. So I'm giving you

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: my personal opinion there. This is his third year on campus.

91
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: There are a lot of guys who are about to

92
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 2: start across the country for the first time that you

93
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: need to realize are not true freshmen. And this is

94
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: the case with Beck. He's been there a couple of years,

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 2: had poised very under control. If you watched him yesterday

96
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 2: and you didn't know any better, you wouldn't.

97
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: Think he was a first year starter.

98
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: You would think he's got a lot more experience under

99
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 2: his belt. Continuity is important here. Continuity is what I've

100
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: talked to you about. It's the keyword with Georgia this

101
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 2: spring and the offense this spring, and that is the

102
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: fact that even though they lost Todd Monkin, the offensive coordinator,

103
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: they elevated in house this time last year. Daboswiney did

104
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: that and I didn't think it was a good move.

105
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: Fast forward to your Kirby did it, and I think

106
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: it's going to pay off wonderfully for them. A funny

107
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: thing happens when you got your roster already largely built

108
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: the way it needs to be. You don't really have

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: to go out and find a superhero coordinator. You need

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 2: to look around, preferably in house, preferably and say, all right,

111
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: which one of you can just give me more of

112
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: what I've been getting and then maybe maybe a little

113
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: layer of icing in addition on top. That's you, Mike Bobo, Okay,

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: step on up, Carson Beck. Familiarity don't have to learn

115
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: anything smart is like saving at this point, He's not

116
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 2: going to bring anyone in that changes their verbiage and

117
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: changes their way of doing things period. From this point forward,

118
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 2: what I'm trying to tell you is coordinators who come

119
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: in there will learn the Georgia system. George is not

120
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: hiring someone to come in and teach Georgia their system.

121
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: That's that's that's the breaks when you're a top level program.

122
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: They lost a d Mitchell to the transfer port the

123
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: wide receiver, and I'm gonna talk about him later in

124
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 2: the show. They still look really good at receiver, they

125
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 2: still look really good there. And pass catcher. I guess

126
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 2: I should say pass catcher because you always have to

127
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: factor tight end there as well. Brock Bowers is back.

128
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 2: I know you feel like he's been around forever. He

129
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 2: really hasn't. That's the best tight end in the country

130
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: by my estimation. Some would make an argument pound for

131
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 2: pound the best football player in the country, positional value notwithstanding.

132
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: But you need to know the other names in that

133
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 2: room too. Oscar Delp, for example, Oscar Delp almost took

134
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: He almost took a backwards fall on the sideline yesterday

135
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: that would have brought his head in direct contact with

136
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 2: a bench, because that's how far out of bounds he fell.

137
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: Luckily we avoided that, but also Lost and Lucky a

138
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: really good name, really marketable name. That's a name I

139
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: just want you to remember. Folks at Georgia already know him,

140
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: but nationally I try and keep you ahead of the curve.

141
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: Lost and Lucky, who is he? Just another four star

142
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: tight end George has brought in Gonna be really good

143
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: legacy player. I think gonna be really good the running

144
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: back room. If you want me to find a negative

145
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: with Georgia. It's kind of hard Frankly. But if you

146
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: want to ooh, I said Frankly, we charted my Frankly

147
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: usage last show. Do you realize I said Frankly fourteen

148
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: times when we were at Penn State. I don't think

149
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: it's the head coach's last name. It's just something we

150
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: got to get better on. I graded out to a

151
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: C plus two shows ago because of Frankly. So, honestly,

152
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: I think they could stand to get more dynamic in

153
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: the running back room.

154
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: There you go.

155
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: Is that a negative? I think they're gonna be okay there.

156
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: I also want you to remember a couple other things.

157
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: So Cedric Van Pran is the center who's not gonna

158
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 2: be on the front of any preview magazines. They kept him.

159
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 2: They kept him. He could have gone pro, and they

160
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: kept him. Massive, huge, huge shoes. Pickup, even though it's

161
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: just to keep. But that's a pick up to me

162
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: and Tate Ratledge. Two years ago, they opened the season

163
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: at Clemson and he goes down for the year with

164
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: an injury. Still went to win a national championship and

165
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: he played last year. But this is kind of his contract.

166
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: He's the right guard and he now shows no signs

167
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 2: of that injury. Whereas last year, if you knew what

168
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: you were looking at, and by that I mean people

169
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 2: qualified the scout offensive line, you probably could have sensed

170
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: hints of that. You don't get that anymore with him.

171
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: So they're really good on the interior. It's gonna be

172
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: a weird team this year. George is gonna be really

173
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: weird to follow because on one hand, they may be

174
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 2: the best team in the country. On the other hand,

175
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: their schedule's garbage. It is what it is, and so

176
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be hard to find legitimate

177
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 2: ways to talk about them. Clemson's been like this in

178
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: the past. The ACC schedule does them no favors. They're

179
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: really good, but they're body bagging every one. So what

180
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: do you really say about them? That could be Georgia

181
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: this year, But they're gonna be really good. Best odds

182
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: right now to win the national championship out of any

183
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 2: team in any conference. Next up, Texas had a spring

184
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: game yesterday. There are a lot of names that popped

185
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 2: off your screen.

186
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: You know.

187
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Quarterback is obviously the focal point, that's where the microscope

188
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 2: was focused yesterday, and Sark ended up announcing Quinn Viewers

189
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 2: is going to be our starting quarterback, or I think

190
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 2: his exact words where it's pretty obvious Quinn is our

191
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 2: number one quarterback right now. So predictably, my dms were

192
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: a disaster afterwards, not by the people who listen to

193
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: what I say, more so by the people who don't

194
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 2: hear what I say. About two weeks ago, actually it

195
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 2: probably would have been about a month ago, Sark came

196
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: out and said, we have a quarterback competition, and a

197
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 2: lot of people said, no, you don't. Quinn Ewers is

198
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: going to be your starter. And I came on this

199
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 2: show and my exact thought was, it doesn't matter whether

200
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: quinn Ewers ends up being his starter. The competition's not

201
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: over when the starter is named. This goes for any position.

202
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: So then I had some people come at me and say, no,

203
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 2: that makes no sense. Once you announce a starter, that,

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: by the very definition of the announcement is the end

205
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 2: of the competition, which I understand his kind of semantics.

206
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 2: What you're talking about is a competition in terms of

207
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 2: competing for the job. I'm talking about a culture of competition.

208
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 2: So I don't, in other words, think quinn Ewers comes

209
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: to practice if they had one tomorrow and just sits

210
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: on the bench because he's not competing for the job anymore.

211
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 2: So competition is always supposed to be happening. But if

212
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: you're watching on YouTube, there are three faces on your

213
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: screen right now. Quinn Ewers is there, Arch Manning is there.

214
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 2: Then there's this guy named Malik Murphy. Malik Murphy can

215
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 2: throw the ball about i'd say four hundred and fifty

216
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: some odd yards in the air, not on the moon either,

217
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,439
Speaker 2: right here on earth. He opened some people's eyes yesterday.

218
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: I don't just think in Austin, Texas. I think if

219
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 2: you probably check his most recent followers on the socials,

220
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 2: you'll find staffers from all different sorts of schools following him. Now,

221
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: I am not suggesting that anyone would ever preemptively try

222
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: and tamper with anyone's roster out there for a position

223
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 2: like quarterback. I'm not suggesting that, except that I am

224
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: so Malik Murphy shined yesterday. While I don't think he's

225
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 2: going to insert his name into the starting rotation this year.

226
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: That's a deep quarterback room. And I don't know why

227
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 2: people doubted me about the wide receiver room either. But

228
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 2: if you watched their spring game yesterday, I don't know

229
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 2: how you can take away anything other than Texas has

230
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: one of the best receiver rooms in the country. You

231
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: get an Xavier Worthy back, and then you get Isaiah Nayer.

232
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: You didn't get to see him on display last year.

233
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: We get a d Mitchell had a great one handed

234
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 2: touchdown Cats yesterday, we didn't get to see him. We've

235
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: never gotten to see him at Texas. Whittington's back for

236
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 2: his fourteenth year of eligibility. And then we've also got

237
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 2: guys like John tay Cook, just true freshman. We're just

238
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: adding five star guys in there. I combine that with

239
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: a presumably a healthy Quinn Viewers with a year two

240
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 2: firm grasp of a Steve Sarkisian offense, and you don't

241
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: think that's going to be a dangerous receiving room and

242
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: a dangerous passing game. They could go eight and four

243
00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 2: with it, they could go twelve and zero with it.

244
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,440
Speaker 2: It's not a guarantee of record, guys. I'm just telling

245
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 2: you that's one of the best receiver rooms in the country.

246
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: But there's this thing about Texas where if you make

247
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: any kind of definitive statement. There's no nuance allowed. You know,

248
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 2: there's no tact, there's no relativity. I'll talk about that

249
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 2: in a second. But they lost Bjon Robinson, maybe the

250
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: best running back in the country, lost Roshawn Johnson. Really

251
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 2: good one two combo there. So you would think, well,

252
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 2: that means they're weak at running back, right, and it's

253
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 2: actually an extremely impressive running back room. Jonathan Brooks was

254
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: out and he's going to be heavily involved in their rotation.

255
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 2: But Jaden Blue popped off the screen.

256
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: To me, he's the.

257
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: Guy who skipped his senior year of high school, and

258
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: I think, maybe think a lot of people sort of,

259
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: I won't say forgot about him. I think some people

260
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: kind of started to push him a little bit to

261
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: the back burner no longer saveon Redd looked good. Cedric

262
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: Baxter is the top running back in the country coming

263
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 2: in this cycle. Keelan Robinson didn't play yesterday. He's still

264
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: in that mix. They're really deep there, they're really versatile too.

265
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: It's not four of the same guys. So Texas offensively,

266
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: it probably is not a shock to you. Gonna be

267
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: really formidable again this year. But like I said, I

268
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: know how it works with Texas. I've been around this team.

269
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: I've been burned by our model because the model believes

270
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: in Texas As. I have told you many times, the

271
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: model would look at Texas and say, yeah, Kansas City

272
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: won the Super Bowl, but they haven't played Texas. The

273
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 2: model gets drunk on Texas. I'm not going that far.

274
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is as always, just because you haven't

275
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: done something doesn't mean you can't do it. So Sark

276
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: hasn't won the Big Twelve, Okay, it doesn't mean you

277
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 2: can't do it. You can never say you think Texas

278
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: is gonna be pretty good. You've either got to say

279
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 2: they're going to win the Big Twelve or they're missing

280
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 2: a Bowl game, because anything in between is just gonna

281
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: get sucked one direction or the other immunity and you

282
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: will have your your comments grossly miscontextualized. And I'm trying

283
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: to be that person. I'm trying to tell you, I

284
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 2: think Texas is going to be improved over last year

285
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: where they were improved over the year before. I think

286
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 2: the offense's top end potential is elite.

287
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: Elite.

288
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,359
Speaker 2: Don't use that word very often with them. Elite defensively,

289
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 2: that will ultimately be as it has been so far.

290
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: What decides how far they can go Texas, It just

291
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: wouldn't be the biggest shock to me in the world.

292
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 2: If they did win the Big Twelve, it wouldn't be

293
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 2: the biggest shock to me in the world. Therefore, if

294
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 2: they found themselves in the playoff conversation, I'm just speaking

295
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: in pencil for a reason, because I'm not totally sold

296
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: on it. That's what spring is for. You don't have

297
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 2: to make definitive judgments this early. But I think they're

298
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: headed in the right direction.

299
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: There you go.

300
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: So that is a tactful take on Texas, and therefore

301
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 2: it won't be accepted by the masses. Unlike our friends

302
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: at Academy Sports and Outdoors. I mean, I got some

303
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: new chapstick today. Hey guess where that's available at Academy

304
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors. I got thirty six new softballs in

305
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 2: the back of my jeep. And while I didn't get

306
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 2: the jeep at Academy, the softballs are available there. Academy

307
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: Sports and Outdoors your one stop shop for everything you

308
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 2: need in terms of outdoor sporting good supplies, plus and beyond.

309
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: I just say plus to save time, although one could

310
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: argue by explaining what plus means it actually takes more time.

311
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: Valid argument.

312
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: Okay, So Academy Sports and Outdoors, you want to grill,

313
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: you want a tent, you want a baseball bat, really

314
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. I mean, look how beautiful it is outside

315
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: right now. God gives you the weather, Academy gives you

316
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: everything you need to enjoy it. And if you can't

317
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: get there in person, Academy dot Com has you hooked up.

318
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 2: And the reason I'm so adamant about using Academy dot

319
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: com if you can't get there in person is because

320
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: some of you don't have one in your backyard. But

321
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: you still want to support the show cause they make

322
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: the show free and that's how you do it. Academy

323
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 2: dot Com or go visit our friends in person if

324
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 2: you can. At Academy Sports and Outdoors, we thank them

325
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 2: as always for being our exclusive partner. So far, so good, Colin.

326
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 2: We'll see how long it lasts. I'll tell you what

327
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: I want to do here for just a second. Thank you, Colin.

328
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: There's words of encouragement in my ear that you guys

329
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: can't hear. But it's like it's like a little wave

330
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: that just pushes the canoe forward. The transfer portal is open,

331
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: and we got to talk about some names. And I

332
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: think we'll talk about this for about the next two weeks,

333
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: because that's how long it's open. Some big names already

334
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: in there. Bear Alexander Georgia. He's a former top fifty

335
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: player in the twenty twenty two cycle. During the spring game.

336
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 2: I think he just pops his name in the portal.

337
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you two things about him. Number One,

338
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: don't think Georgia will miss him very much. I'll leave

339
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: that there. Number Two, I think he could greatly bolster

340
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 2: someone else's roster, so we could have the classic win

341
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: win scenario here. Texas is a name that popped up early,

342
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: but usc is ultimately where would I would push my

343
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 2: chips towards right now? And if that happens, that is

344
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: indeed a program where I would expect him to step

345
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: been to start immediately.

346
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: Why is that?

347
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 2: Because he played twelve games for Georgia last year, So

348
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: this is not a guy who was buried on the

349
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: depth chart. He may not have been thrilled with how

350
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 2: much he was playing, but you cracked the rotation at

351
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Georgia you're about to shine at Southern cal So Barre Alexander.

352
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: That's where he ends up, big pickup potentially for Lincoln

353
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: Riley and Company. I would hit the brakes now, so

354
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 2: as much as I sound like I'm perpetuating that, let's

355
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 2: hit the brakes a little bit because we got to

356
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 2: find out what the market's going to be for him.

357
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 2: This week, we got two receivers at least headed out

358
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: of Texas, Jaden Alexis and Brennan Thompson, both four star guys.

359
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 2: Alexis was from the twenty twenty one class, Thompson from

360
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty two class. Speed guys, straight line speed.

361
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 2: They've got it in abundance. Like I said, the Texas

362
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: wide receiver rooms loading, so this is to be expected.

363
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 2: You see defensive guys leaving Georgia, that doesn't mean they're

364
00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: not good. That just means there are too many players

365
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 2: better than them there. Well, at Texas, you see some

366
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: receivers leaving. That's not automatically a black mark across their name.

367
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: They could very well be contributors for you. They could

368
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,360
Speaker 2: very well be starters for you.

369
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: You can be a.

370
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: Really good player and not be good enough to get

371
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 2: on the field at Texas at receiver right now, they

372
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: are ones to watch because they're just victims of superior depth.

373
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: There's going to be a big market, big market for

374
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: both of them. And I'll tell you who else has

375
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: a big market. Var Keys Gumbs. You don't know his name,

376
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 2: or if you do, challis the supremacy come in your

377
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 2: way unless you live in Denton, Texas. Oh there goes

378
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: the hiccup. Wow, PF Chang Sunday. So this is a

379
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: tight end. He is six three two thirty. The entire

380
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: world is in the market for tight ends. Freshman all

381
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 2: American proven production at North Texas. Thirty four catches four

382
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eight yards through the air five touchdowns

383
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: last year. And already we're looking at an offer list

384
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: and this is this is unafit And this is as

385
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: of like two hours ago. Arkansas is in this thing.

386
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:09,399
Speaker 2: West Virginia, Utah, Colorado, cow That list should double or

387
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 2: triple by midnight. So this is this is a very

388
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 2: very rare commodity, a proven production tight end in the portal.

389
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on him. Everyone needs one. Listen, even

390
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 2: Georgia needs him. And George is as stacked as anybody

391
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 2: in the country. I kid about Georgia, but my point

392
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: remains pretty much everyone's going to be in the market

393
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: for him. Kleb Etn. What do we have here. We've

394
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 2: got a starting power five left tackle in the portal

395
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:42,239
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State six seven three ten. He is one of

396
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: two offensive players to start every game for Oklahoma State

397
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: last year. Former JUCO transferr he was a number two

398
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 2: JUCO offensive tackle in twenty twenty one, second team All

399
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: Academic Big Twelve last year. So he gets after you

400
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 2: on the field and in the classroom. And not such

401
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: a great headline here from Mike Gundy, but we got

402
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: to deliver it anyway. And the interest to fairness, this

403
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 2: is the sixteenth portal exit scholarship player portal exit for

404
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State. It could be an interesting fall, to say

405
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: the least. And while I'm at it, let me go

406
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: ahead and plug something here. So tomorrow, over on the

407
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,080

Speaker 2: four seven supports dot Com, Brad Crawford, But both of

417
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 2: those guys a bunch of our team doing a great

418
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: job of covering names because this is updating, you know,

419
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: like as we speak, there's a distinct possibility since we've

420
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 2: been live tonight, names have gone to the portal. So

421
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 2: I would highly encourage you because I'll be watching it.

422
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 2: I'll highly encourage you to tune into that tomorrow and

423
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 2: take a little sip from the challice because we have

424
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: so much more to talk about. We probably have like

425
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 2: fifty miles worth of spring game left to discuss, and

426
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: I have like thirty eight miles worth of voice left.

427
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 2: Do the math and it doesn't shake out, So fuzzy

428
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: math is going to get us through the show. What'd

429
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 2: you think of the Miami Spring Game? Did you watch

430
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: the Miami Spring Game? Interesting fact, where our headquarters is

431
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: down in Fort Lauderdale, The CBS Sports HQ headquarters. Miami

432
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 2: played their spring game in a stadium that's like right

433
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: across a private airport from it, right, Jesse, isn't that

434
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: where that stadium is? So they played their spring game

435
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 2: in Fort Lauderdale, which is trivia that none of you needed,

436
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 2: but I gave to every one of you. Anyway, who

437
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: is Tyler van dijk Not literally, you know who he is.

438
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: He's the Miami quarterback who was very heralded and then

439
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: last year, as the entire offense did, he fell flat.

440
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 2: And so that's the question right now, who is Tyler

441
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 2: van Dyk? Well, last year, Josh Gaddis was the offensive coordinator.

442
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: They have since fired him. Why did they fire him? Well,

443
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: thirty three plays of twenty plus yards offensively, that was

444
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 2: one hundred and first in FBS. That's a pretty good indication.

445
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 2: They weren't explosive enough. They weren't consistent enough. They had

446
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 2: eight pass plays of twenty plus yards in the spring

447
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: game yesterday. So Mario Chrispaul took a chance on Shannon Dawson.

448
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 2: And if you listen to folks around the Miami program,

449
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 2: they'll tell you Mario kind of went out of his

450
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 2: traditional comfort zone. Whatever you want to call it in

451
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: making that higher and I think he's going to be

452
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 2: very pleasantly surprised at what that's going to bring in

453
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 2: terms of offensive production for him this year. Francis malegoa

454
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 2: right tackle, you know the one that I told you

455
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: I was the most confident in starting out of any

456
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 2: true freshman in the country, even though he's a tackle.

457
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: He started to write tackle for him yesterday. Francisco Maligo, linebacker,

458
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: also shined yesterday. You got that last name and you're

459
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: playing for Miami. Looks like you're gonna have a pretty

460
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: good year this year. Ruben Bain was everywhere. This has

461
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 2: to be a theme for them. By the way, Bain

462
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 2: had three sacks, just an immediate impact defensive end. You

463
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 2: could tell when you turned on their spring game who

464
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: the true freshmen were. You could tell who the transfer

465
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 2: portal guys were. It's a different caliber athlete and that

466
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: is what they have to have. They have to have,

467
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 2: me saying that about half a dozen more times if

468
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 2: they're going to be a player in the ACC this year,

469
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: because they've got to have that true freshman class step up.

470
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 2: They could also take a lot of solas in watching

471
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 2: Emery Williams that's a quarterback, Elite eleven guy. We were

472
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: around him last year. He looked pretty good too. In fact,

473
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 2: you've heard good things about him throughout spring. So Tyler

474
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: Vandykes obviously the number one, just kind of bookmarked that name.

475
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: Emery Williams. I'm interested to see how the wide receipt

476
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: room turns out. I'm interested to see if they can

477
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: pick up receivers in the portal because you can. You

478
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: can take that offensive spark that you showed yesterday and

479
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: you can use it as a selling point. Everyone's going

480
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 2: to recruit against you by saying, look how bad they

481
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 2: were offensively last year. Don't go get bogged down in

482
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: that well. Mario Christibaal can say everything about last year.

483
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 2: I showed the door and I have brought in a

484
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 2: guy named Shannon Dawson, and I want you to look

485
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 2: at what we could be this year. Look at this

486
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 2: production in the spring game, look at these pop plays,

487
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: and then think about what it could be with you.

488
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: That's what his pitch has to be. When asked after

489
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 2: their spring game, how different could you look this fall

490
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: from how you look right now, Mario Cristaball's answer was significantly.

491
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 2: He's talking about adding names. He's talking about adding players

492
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 2: in the portal. Not one or two, as someone else

493
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: once famously said, down that way, not one, not two,

494
00:24:58,400 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: not three. I don't know how many they're gon add

495
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 2: to be several. So you are not seeing the Miami

496
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 2: Hurricanes team that you will see this fall.

497
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: Yet it's a new age.

498
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 2: I know this is. This is something that the two

499
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 2: thousand and six version of you would find very very

500
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 2: confusing and dumbfounding. That's the transfer portal era. All right,

501
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 2: let's move on and while you're at it, because we've

502
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: got a good number of people here, good number of people.

503
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 2: I told you folks cared about spring games. We got

504
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 2: like sixteen hundred folks watching live right now.

505
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: I appreciate that.

506
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 2: I asked that you, and I humbly ask that you

507
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: do me a favor while I still have a voice,

508
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: click the thumbs up button for me, pretend like my

509
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: voice depends on it, because there's some way we could

510
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: probably correlate those things. I would be much happier if

511
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 2: we were sitting here with over five hundred likes right now,

512
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 2: I'll tell you that. But been in all seriousness, thank

513
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: you for watching, and just like it your leisure, probably

514
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: new T shirt idea. Ohio State had a spring game yesterday.

515
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: Kyle McCord at quarterback had a shot. He had a

516
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: shot to publicly take the job by the throat. Now,

517
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: in reality, that's probably not what was on the line yesterday.

518
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 2: And if you don't know what I'm talking about, there's

519
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 2: a really really hot quarterback competition going on, not controversy,

520
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: competition going on there right now, calm McCord and Devin Brown.

521
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 2: Devin Brown was out with a little minor finger injury,

522
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: not a big deal, but he couldn't play yesterday. So

523
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,479
Speaker 2: my thought was, well, what if McCord steps up and

524
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 2: just shreds Ohio State's defense? Unrealistic, but what if he

525
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: does well? He went eighteen of thirty four one point

526
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: eight four a touchdown. There's a lot of context that

527
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 2: needs to be added there. So I'm sitting there watching them,

528
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 2: and you got to take into account. Egbuka's not out there,

529
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior played a little bit, then he's out.

530
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 2: Fleming's not out there, so he's down his top three receivers.

531
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 2: Most of the day, he's down offensive lineman. They allowed

532
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: five sacks on seventy pass plays and so, as is

533
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 2: usually the case with spring games, there's this big grain

534
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: of salt. It's really big and you just got to

535
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: apply it all over the place. But is that the

536
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 2: biggest question mark?

537
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: Really?

538
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 2: Is offensive line the biggest question mark? Because if it is,

539
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be okay. Conversely, i'll tell you what,

540
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: it's not a question mark. Go watch their spring game

541
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: and watch how dominant and how difference making they are

542
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: across their defensive front. It wasn't that long ago. What

543
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 2: was it, twenty twenty they played Bama and the national

544
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 2: title game. Now, I remember having a coach text me saying,

545
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: you want to know why Ohio State can't win a title?

546
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: Right now?

547
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: They can get to one, but they can't win one

548
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: because they don't have the kind of guys up front

549
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: defensively that Alabama did. And then you fast forward a

550
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 2: few years and they may have the best defensive front

551
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: in the country at the very least one of I

552
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 2: don't want to start a comment war in the comment section,

553
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 2: so one of.

554
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: The very best.

555
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 2: They're loaded there. They're gonna be very hard to move

556
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 2: the ball on. But in the meantime, offensive line, yeah,

557
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 2: we'll get tackle figured out. Carnel Tate is a wide

558
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: receiver name that we've had.

559
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: Circle.

560
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 2: You had three receptions yesterday forty two yards a touchdown.

561
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 2: So you may say, well, those are I guess, okay numbers.

562
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 1: But what's the big deal.

563
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: Josh, I don't know how to put this. You know how,

564
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 2: some guys just seem like they have it. Some guys

565
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 2: have a veteran presence about themselves, not even just when

566
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 2: they're making a play on the ball, just the way

567
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: they carry themselves, the way they move. They don't look

568
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: young at all. That's Carnel Tate. And even on a

569
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 2: team as loaded as this, even on the deepest, probably

570
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 2: the deepest front line receiver rotation in the country. I

571
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 2: don't know how much it'll happen. I don't know when

572
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: it'll happen. Carnal Tate is going to be involved in

573
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: that rotation this year. You got more of there. Yes,

574
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: you've got a Mecca Agbuka absolutely has earned his right

575
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 2: to play.

576
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: Julian Fleming.

577
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: Yes, but I'm telling you right now, if you think

578
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: that name's locked in there, Jayden Ballard's another name. Those

579
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 2: names are not locked in. If you're the best, you're

580
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: gonna get on the field, and that may mean surpassing

581
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: someone who previously was thought of as being one of

582
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 2: the two or three best. That's a good thing. That's

583
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 2: called a culture of competition. They've had it in that

584
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: receiver room for a long time. Ohio State is a team.

585
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 2: My biggest takeaway following them this spring, watching the spring

586
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 2: game and getting a little bit of feedback from the

587
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: program is as as much as it hurts to watch

588
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 2: a player the caliber of C. J. Stroud exit, they

589
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 2: may actually be headed towards territory where they're capable of

590
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,959
Speaker 2: beating you in more ways than they have been able to.

591
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: And I don't know if that means they're a better

592
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 2: team in the aggregate or not. But what I'm telling

593
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 2: you is it's been a long time since I found

594
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 2: myself thinking in Ohio State could be able to lean

595
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:03,360
Speaker 2: on their defense.

596
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 1: A little bit this year. I hadn't said it the

597
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: last couple of years. For sure.

598
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: I start to think that after watching them in the

599
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: spring game, and after watching and listening to folks around

600
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:17,080
Speaker 2: that program throughout spring practice, you get offensive tackle figured out.

601
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: They're loaded in the backfield, they can run the ball

602
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 2: on you. I don't think I need to say anymore

603
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: about what they can do at wide receiver, doubly, especially

604
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: if Devin Brown Orkyle McCord fulfill their potential. That's a

605
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: team that can beat you a multitude of ways, and

606
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 2: that's the hallmark of most teams that make a run

607
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 2: for a title. So a lot of pressure on them

608
00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: this year, whole lot of competitive pressure on Ryan Day,

609
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 2: and there's pressure every year on Ohio State. All Right, Colin,

610
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: I don't need you to go to the slate, but

611
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 2: I do need to cough for a second, so you

612
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: can mute me if you want to. I'll give you

613
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: a three count out of respect. Okay, three two one. Okay, man,

614
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: we're back. Sit from the chalice out of safety.

615
00:30:59,400 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: But we're back.

616
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: Ah. Allergies, allergies, allergies. While we were doing our Thursday show,

617
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: Florida was having a spring game.

618
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

619
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 2: Now, that is a brilliant tactical marketing play. That is

620
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 2: called a standalone spot. It's been done before. And what

621
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 2: you do if you've got something you want to showcase

622
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: is you put it in a standalone spot. Therefore, there's

623
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 2: nothing else to divide people's attention. If they're watching football.

624
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 2: They're watching you. That's the good news. The bad news

625
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: is if you look terrible, everyone sees you look terrible. So,

626
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 2: like I said, you gotta be tactful about it. Florida's

627
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 2: offense looked terrible the other night and everyone saw it.

628
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 2: So I was watching it Friday and I made a

629
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 2: comment on it publicly on Twitter. I did the classic

630
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,920
Speaker 2: McConaughey cigarette looking down, and some of my Florida brethren

631
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: took issue with it. They said I was trolling them.

632
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 2: I'm not trolling you. I saw the same thing you did.

633
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 2: None of you were happy with what you saw. None

634
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: of you think you're good enough at quarterback right now.

635
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you are. I just said it publicly,

636
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 2: like you guys have been saying it on the boards

637
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: and saying it. My DMS just kind of is what

638
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean. It's a finished product. That means exactly

639
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 2: what I said it meant. The spring game was tough

640
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: to watch.

641
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: That's it.

642
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: That's the long and short. I'm not going to be

643
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: all negative here. I've got some positives, but I will

644
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: tell you this. There's been a lot of debate amongst

645
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: Florida folks about whether Billy Napier will go after a

646
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 2: quarterback in the portal, or whether they're just going to

647
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: ride out Graham Mertz. And I've got to say Jack

648
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: Miller because this quarterback is not.

649
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: Decided, which surprises me. Frankly. Oh, there it is again.

650
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: Well we'll go with it.

651
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: Frankly, I thought we would have a quarterback announced, or

652
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:55,200
Speaker 2: at the very least it would be widely understood who

653
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: the QB one was, and I thought it was going

654
00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: to be Graham Mertz. We're not there yet. He hasn't separated.

655
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: Oh that's a problem. It could be rectified. It is spring,

656
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 2: but that's a problem.

657
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: I was.

658
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 2: I was thinking about this today and I was trying

659
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: to find the best way to sum it up in

660
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: talking about whether Napier will go after a quarterback in

661
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 2: the portal, And that's if there are any worth taking,

662
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 2: and I think he should. Now, whether you can sell

663
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: someone and come in there is another issue, but I

664
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: think he could. And the reason is, guys, think about

665
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: the teams. We're talking about Georgia, We've talked about Ohio State, Texas.

666
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: Bama's got their spring game next week. USC had their

667
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: spring game yesterday. I'm gonna throw UCLA in here. Tennessee

668
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 2: had their spring game yesterday, Oh Miss Oklahoma. All these

669
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 2: teams have a quarterback situation where the backup would be

670
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,479
Speaker 2: preferable over either one of them. Florida's trotting out there

671
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 2: right now. That's a lot of teams where a QB

672
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 2: two is better than your QB one. So that's the

673
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 2: status of the Florida quarterback room right now. I'm not

674
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:10,319
Speaker 2: going to sell on Florida twenty twenty three because I

675
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 2: know what the reality is. I know they had the

676
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 2: Jad and Rashada thing. Rashada would probably already be penciled

677
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 2: in as their starter right now. That was the plan.

678
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 2: It fell through.

679
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: I get it.

680
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 2: They had a lot of late movement on the coaching front.

681
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 2: They had a lot of coaches leave for the NFL.

682
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 2: They've still got guys probably settling into their offices.

683
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: I get it.

684
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: That's why I'm telling you. Take what I'm saying for

685
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: what it is. It is a commentary on the spring.

686
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 2: Defense looked really good. Austin Armstrong is one of those

687
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 2: new coaches. Defense looked really good. We've got the age

688
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 2: old conundrum of was our defense good or was our

689
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 2: offense bad? As is usually the case, probably a healthy

690
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: mixture of both. I'll tell you what again we are seeing,

691
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 2: and that is a bunch of transfers contributing immediately. Caleb

692
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: Banks as the lo level transfer on the field, Manny

693
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 2: Nunnery from Houston, all over the field, Jackson from Memphis,

694
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 2: Do Spurlock from Michigan. All those guys are going to

695
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 2: be immediate contributors for them. So I am very uninspired

696
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 2: by what they are. I guess offensively. I know we

697
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 2: don't see everything in spring. I get all that, I

698
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 2: get it, I get it. You don't have to tell

699
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 2: me that I get it. I don't feel great about it,

700
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 2: but I'm not ready to sell on it yet either,

701
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 2: the late transition with the coaching staff, the entire Nil drama.

702
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,920
Speaker 2: Speaking of Nil, I know some of you watched this

703
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 2: the other night. Did you notice the shift in the

704
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 2: field around NIL in Florida? So the Gator collective is

705
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:49,319
Speaker 2: the old NIL go to Florida, Victorious is the new one.

706
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,480
Speaker 2: They kind of sponsored the spring game. They had signage

707
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 2: all over the place. They at commercials. Billy Napier made

708
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:59,959
Speaker 2: special special mention of them publicly, So that's a good thing.

709
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: Don't overlook that. That's a really good thing, because that's

710
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: all the folks have talked about with Florida over what

711
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 2: casuals would call the offseason, and that is whoh Innisle's

712
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: a mess down there, No Inile's a learning experience down there.

713
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 2: It's a process, just like it is everywhere else. Not

714
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 2: everyone was going to have it figured out immediately. So

715
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 2: I've got a mixed bag of emotions about Florida right now,

716
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 2: and they got a few months to figure it out

717
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: before they go to Utah for a week one game

718
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: in Salt Lake City. Where should we go? I think

719
00:36:30,920 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: I think we should go to the Big Ten. Penn

720
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 2: State had their spring game yesterday. We were up there

721
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 2: last week. You saw what we saw, only we saw

722
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: it behind closed doors. You saw it publicly, and that

723
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: was defense dominating and offense struggling. Mandy Diaz had a

724
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: very good day defensive coordinator up there. First team defense

725
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 2: pitched a shutout. They had rain early, it cleared out,

726
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: so they were good to go for the game. Second

727
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 2: team defense had Drew Allah and that first team offense

728
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: under pressure. That is not the best headline that you

729
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 2: could take away from this or it's not. It's not

730
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 2: the most preferred headline, I guess we should say, but

731
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 2: it's I'll tell you this now because it's born itself

732
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: out publicly. We were at practice last week after they

733
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: swept the media out of there, James Franklin let us

734
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: hang around. That's exactly what we saw. We saw two

735
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,919
Speaker 2: D against one oh, and we saw two D give

736
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,920
Speaker 2: one O some trouble. And that was with Olufa Shano

737
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 2: on the field. They didn't have the start and left

738
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 2: tackle there for the spring game yesterday.

739
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: So what do you make of that?

740
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 2: Well, I will obviously say, as I do with every

741
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 2: spring game, they didn't really show their full offense. But

742
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: what I think this team's ultimately going to be this

743
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 2: year is an extremely strong run game, an extremely salty

744
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 2: and versatile defense that can really get after the quarterback

745
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: as well as stop the run. And therefore we have

746
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 2: a formula that is going to give a highly talented

747
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 2: Green quarterback time to develop. Translation, they're not going to

748
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: need to score forty two to win and look at

749
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 2: their quarterback as the means to get it done. That's

750
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 2: probably not the identity of this team this year. The

751
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 2: other question that I had when I was up there

752
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,839
Speaker 2: last week, and it was always met with a we'll

753
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 2: see was wide receiver? How's wide receiver going to shake out?

754
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 2: Is wide receiver a finished product? And the short answer

755
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 2: is no, because they've got the kid from Kent State

756
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 2: Cephas still coming in. He'll be there in the summer.

757
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 2: But Omari Evans, three star sophomore. He had five catches

758
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 2: for eighty yards.

759
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: And a touchdown.

760
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: KeAndre Lambert Smith Wallace those are probably the one too,

761
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: Harrison Wallace. I should use more than just his last name,

762
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 2: Harrison Wallace. The third actually behind those guys, who's stepping up?

763
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 2: Cephas is probably going to heavily factor into that rotation.

764
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 2: Maybe it's Omari Evans. Maybe they even go get another

765
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: name out of the portal. I heard James Franklin afterwards

766
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 2: yesterday saying defensive tackle, wide receiver, and any other impact

767
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: player that maybe we don't even see coming. But those

768
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 2: are the two positions that we want to go after.

769
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 2: It's it's interesting, you know, we we got to see

770
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,879
Speaker 2: some things that the public doesn't get to see last week,

771
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 2: and it was just like watching the spring game, just

772
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,280
Speaker 2: with more people and worse weather. So it wasn't exactly

773
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 2: a shock to the senses for me as much as

774
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: it was some of my Penn State friends. I think

775
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 2: they're going to be okay, and I think that probably

776
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 2: the Drew Aller trajectory as the season goes on come

777
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 2: fall will be just that It'll be kind of like

778
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 2: the you know, the little yodeler climbing the mountain. It's

779
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:47,240
Speaker 2: a blessing to have the ability to play complimentary football

780
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 2: and not have to rely on your quarterback to do everything. Now,

781
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 2: having said that, we got to be better on the

782
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: offensive line than we showed yesterday, and by we, I

783
00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 2: am just speaking for Jesse right now, we have to

784
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 2: be better. The Penn State schedule, by the way, they

785
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,719
Speaker 2: opened against West Virginia, then they got Delaware, then they

786
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 2: open conference play at Illinois, then Iowa, then Northwestern, then

787
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 2: a bye week. Obviously they'll be favored in every one

788
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,320
Speaker 2: of those games. There is not a huge roadblock there,

789
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 2: but there are dangerous games if you don't have your

790
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 2: affairs in order. They're watching us in Westwood, California. Every

791
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 2: time we talk about Westwood, I feel the need to

792
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 2: go kind of casey caseum, and since I have allergies

793
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 2: right now, you can really get deep with the voice.

794
00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,360
Speaker 2: Casey Caseum, a very unique voice. Look him up, children, Chesney,

795
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 2: South Carolina is in the house, as is Cedar Park, Texas.

796
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:42,000
Speaker 1: Thank you so much.

797
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 2: And since I just mentioned the lone Star state and

798
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:48,400
Speaker 2: we've already talked about the Longhorns tonight, why don't we

799
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 2: talk about Texas, A and M. The Aggies had a

800
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,839
Speaker 2: spring game yesterday, and let me tell you what they did.

801
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 2: They just decided to play on a sixty five yard

802
00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 2: field because they had construction going on. Because it's spring,

803
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: why not they They had far more to like in

804
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 2: this one than the one last year. You remember the

805
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: spring game last year, ninety eight percent of you say no,

806
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 2: not really. Well, it was very windy, very windy, and

807
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 2: Jimbo just threw the ball anyway because it doesn't matter.

808
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 2: And I took that to mean, oh man, they're gonna

809
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 2: air it out this fall. And then the offense just

810
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 2: was what it always had been. So anyway, yesterday there

811
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: was positives and negatives, but just my field for the

812
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 2: team is I feel a little bit better than I

813
00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 2: did this time last year. They had seventy seven pass

814
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:40,240
Speaker 2: plays between Wegman and Max Johnson, a ton of starters missing,

815
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: so we're not gonna draw definitives off of this game.

816
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: But they lost a chain at running back, and yet

817
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 2: in the aggregate they're gonna more than make up for it.

818
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: Ruben Owens is their Le'Veon Moss, Maury Daniels. They're gonna be.

819
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: I think, plenty good enough in the tailback room, plenty

820
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: versatile enough. Evan still at wide receiver seven catches ninety

821
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 2: seven yards, so anyone doubting him don't. He's the real deal.

822
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: Not surprisingly, we didn't see much offensively, and I was

823
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 2: reading some of our our buddies over on tech SAgs.

824
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 2: I think Nolan had written how some of the players

825
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 2: had been talking in interviews leading up to the Spring

826
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 2: Game about how much motion and deception they were seeing

827
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 2: in practice, and they were working on in practice motion deception, deception, motion,

828
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,440
Speaker 2: possible immunity, and then we saw none of it yesterday.

829
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 2: And that's that's Spring game one on one for you.

830
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 2: So whatever they're gonna be, I don't think you'll watch

831
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,399
Speaker 2: in weeks one, two, and three and then say saw

832
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: it coming in the spring game. No, you saw some

833
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 2: folks having a good time on a sixty five yard field.

834
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: That's what you saw in the spring game. But what

835
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,840
Speaker 2: we do have is a quarterback competition. Again, not a

836
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: bad thing, but we got one again. Connor Wegman was

837
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 2: seventeen for forty yesterday. Max Johnson was twenty one to

838
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,959
Speaker 2: thirty seven. My pen has come apart in my hands.

839
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: I like this pin too. Man.

840
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 2: Oh there we go. Got a quarterback competition here. This

841
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 2: is kind of the same thing I said last year

842
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 2: about these guys. It's not one where I think Jimbo's

843
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: just trying to sell you on it so he can

844
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,719
Speaker 2: keep both guys. No, I really think it's a dead

845
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: heat out there when you look around. Doesn't take an

846
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 2: NFL scout to turn on tape or turn on a

847
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 2: YouTube condensed game of Texas A and M spring game

848
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 2: and say, oh, they got really good players, don't they.

849
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 2: And with some of them missing, I will say I

850
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: think they should be a notch more dynamic on the

851
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 2: defensive front than they are. And they were last year.

852
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,280
Speaker 2: Let's not say they were bad, but knowing who they've recruited,

853
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 2: knowing who they have, and that stable should be elite.

854
00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:00,080
Speaker 2: So let's keep an eye on them. I think they

855
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 2: will be active in the portal or they will attempt

856
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 2: to be. But this is I said this about Texas

857
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 2: last year, I'll say it about A and.

858
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: M this year.

859
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 2: Probably the most interesting team in the country because they

860
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 2: were sub five hundred, missed out on a bowl game

861
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 2: last year. Yet they've got double digit win talent on

862
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 2: the roster. They have got sec West contending talent on

863
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 2: the roster. If they underachieved with it, they underachieved with it.

864
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 2: That's what makes them interesting. Every other team that missed

865
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,920
Speaker 2: out on a bowl game last year, you don't look

866
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:37,160
Speaker 2: at and say that about it. Sure is an indictment. Yes,

867
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. It's an absolute indictment on

868
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,719
Speaker 2: last year. But it also makes you wonder who if

869
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 2: they just if they just do average this year, what

870
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: would they be And the answer is probably an eight

871
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 2: or nine win team because that's how good they are

872
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 2: talent wise. So there's the goal be average at least.

873
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 2: I was just giving you time there, Colin. You're welcome, buddy.

874
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:07,759
Speaker 2: So South Carolina spring game, spring game, it was a

875
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 2: how should I describe the day for Spencer Ratler? I

876
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Speaker 2: would say this was a was what it was spring

877
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 2: game for Spencer Rattler. Does that make any sense? I

878
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 2: hope it makes sense.

879
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,920
Speaker 1: The general expectation from me for.

880
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: The quarterback there Spencer Ratler is I think he's going

881
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 2: to have a really good year. I think there is

882
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 2: a lot of validity behind him being in this offense

883
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 2: year one, not a first year starter, but being in

884
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,080
Speaker 2: that offense a lot more complex ye'r one versus being

885
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: in it this year. He's talked about that publicly. I

886
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: think there's a lot of validity in that. And so

887
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 2: it was just a run of the mill spring game

888
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 2: for him. Some things to like, some things not to like,

889
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 2: just typical spring game. Jalen Nichols, this was concerning for me.

890
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 2: He's their starting left tackle and he went down with

891
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 2: a lower body injury. Did not return. He was seen

892
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: on crutches. We don't have an update on him, and

893
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: so that's probably going to be a Monday thing. That's

894
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 2: that's serious, So let's keep an eye on that because

895
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 2: the severity's unknown. And they gave up ten sacks I

896
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 2: think without him. I'm not sure when he went down,

897
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 2: but Shane Beemer afterwards talked about the tight end position

898
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 2: and it is massively upgraded from this time last year

899
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 2: a name to keep an eye on. For example, they

900
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 2: went and got Trey Knox from Arkansas, and he's going

901
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 2: to be an immediate difference maker. Remember they're replacing four

902
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 2: of their top five pass catchers, so you can you

903
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,439
Speaker 2: can either just try and mine the portal for wide

904
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 2: receiver talent, or you can remember, hey, we can throw

905
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 2: the ball at tight end too.

906
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 1: Don't they do that in Athens? Yeah?

907
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's try that on our own. I think they

908
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,920
Speaker 2: will this year a lot more so. I'm watching the

909
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 2: game and I'm thinking, all right, Spencer rat Lulasie what

910
00:46:58,719 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: you got, And then all of a sudden, Leonoris Sellers

911
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 2: just pops on my screen.

912
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: Hoopst you might.

913
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 2: Ask, just a four star quarterback from Check's Notes Florence,

914
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: South Carolina. I am pretty sure I know who's starting

915
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback this year for him, but I think I

916
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 2: may know who's starting a quarterback next year for him too,

917
00:47:19,760 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 2: because Leonora's Sellers. I think about him like I was

918
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 2: talking about some Ohio state wide receivers. Just has that

919
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: it factor when you watch him. It didn't count, but

920
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 2: he probably had one of the most impressive plays of

921
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: the game yesterday Leonoris Sellers want you to just keep

922
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 2: an eye on that name. He has the benefit of

923
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 2: not needing to start this year. Let's keep an eye

924
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 2: on him. South Carolina is going to be a volatile

925
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 2: summer team. We have one or two of these every year.

926
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 2: They are a volatile preview season team. And that is

927
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 2: the kind of team that's just dangerous enough to where

928
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: when that crowd that recognizes the offseason comes back to

929
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: the table and they haven't been paying attention to anything,

930
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 2: but they need a sleeper. This is the team they

931
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 2: go to. Why Because South Carolina's over achieved two years

932
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 2: in a row. No one's going to be picking them

933
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:13,360
Speaker 2: to do anything of postseason note, so they want to

934
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 2: sound smarter than the room, so they pick South Carolina.

935
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 2: Be careful, be careful. I'm not saying you may be wrong,

936
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: just say be careful, do your due diligence. So if

937
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,720
Speaker 2: you haven't watched these spring games, they're all on YouTube,

938
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 2: go check them out. It's a miracle. And when I

939
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,480
Speaker 2: say miracle, I mean capital M miracle that we made

940
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 2: it through this show because we had some internal wagers

941
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,359
Speaker 2: and I wasn't supposed to make it. We weren't even

942
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 2: supposed to be here. There are two things I suffer

943
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:46,239
Speaker 2: from at a disproportionately high pain rate relative to the

944
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: normal population. Muscle cramps. When I get them, they are

945
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,319
Speaker 2: a ten on the one to ten scale, and allergies horrific.

946
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 2: I would I would wish it on my worst enemy,

947
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: but I'd feel sorry for him as even going through it.

948
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 2: The New Testament talks about Paul's thorn in the flesh right,

949
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 2: and I remember when I was a little kid, we

950
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: would always try and guess.

951
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: I wonder what his thorn in the flesh was. Did

952
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 1: he have a deformed arm?

953
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 2: Did he have a speaking impediment? I think he may

954
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: have just had allergies. Because this is tough to deal with.

955
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: It is really tough to deal with, but we made it,

956
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 2: and it was because of you that we were able

957
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: to do it and direct a column of producer Jesse,

958
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 2: So for them, I'm Josh Pate. We got another live

959
00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:34,400
Speaker 2: show coming up to Tuesday. Until then, take care and

960
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: God bless
