00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:30,639

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 3: we get to interact with people the most because I

11

00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: mountains he's ever seen. I said, this is just the

32
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 3: edge of the mountains. Wait till you get deep. But

33
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 3: it is beautiful out here. I love this place.

34
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I stayed here yesterday, so I'm making a little weekend

35
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: out of Woods and Bend. It's also one of my

36
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: favorite golf courses.

37
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 3: It's a very cool golf course. Yeah, for those of

38
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: you that ever played Woods and Bend, it's a nice

39
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: It's just a few times there's some shots you can

40
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 3: get an advantage on. You definitely are gonna hit a

41
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: few condos, which is part of the experience. Yeah, Yeah,

42
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 3: it's that is it's it's it's very Uh, it's very

43
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: mountain in the sense of there's there's cut like you

44
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 3: can cut through and you can take short cuts, but

45
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: you gotta know where they are in order to do it.

46
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: So the text machine is seven seven to two seven

47
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: seven four five two five four. I'm sure we will

48
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 3: have people call eight five nine two eight oh twenty

49
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: two eighty seven. Ryan, you got to talk about this

50
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: game a lot on the postgame show, So I hope

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: you're okay if I do a little yet, and I

52
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 3: want you to so Kentucky loses thirteen to twelve. You know, hey,

53
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 3: my guys, if you don't mind not sir, hey, uh,

54
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: the we had a I watched the game in a

55
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: casino in Milwaukee, and it was I would like a

56
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: lot of people go, well, it's gonna be on in

57
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 3: the background while I do other things. And then all

58
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: of a sudden, I'm screaming and jumping around like a

59
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 3: wild man, thinking we're about to pull off maybe the

60
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: biggest upset, uh in Kentucky history. We were at a

61
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 3: casino where most everyone else was there to watch the

62
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 3: Canelo fight, and one TV was on Kentucky Georgia, and

63
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: I was losing. I was losing it, so was Mario.

64
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: My friend Adam cooling Back just happened to.

65
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: Be in Milwaukee.

66
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: He's everywhere, and the three of us were going nuts.

67
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 3: You know, let's talk about what I think are the

68
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 3: overwhelming positives. Okay, it's gonna be easy to talk about

69
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 3: what we talk about last, but the overwhelming positives. We

70
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 3: took the number one team in the country that for

71
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 3: four years has only lost to one team in the

72
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: regular season, Alabama, and we played them to the final play.

73
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: And not only did we play them to the final play,

74
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 3: for a lot of the game, we were as good,

75
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 3: if not better. It was not fluky. As a matter

76
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: of fact, no flukes were in our favor.

77
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 2: That's true.

78
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: They fumbled it three times, we didn't recover any of

79
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: We had a potential pick six, we didn't get it. Actually,

80
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 3: I'll be in the minority of Kentucky fans. I think

81
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: they made the right call. I don't think as much

82
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: as I wish it was a pick six, I don't

83
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: think it was. So we didn't get any flukes. We

84
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 3: played them straight up, we played them heads up, and

85
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: we were right there. We lost, but we were right there.

86
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: So I can't think that's anything but a positive in

87
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: the grand scheme of things. Second, I thought there was

88
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: a chance they quit after what happened last week. I

89
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: thought there was a chance they could quit and the

90
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 3: season would go completely off the rails. If we lost

91
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: like we did last year fifty one to six, We're

92
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 3: sitting here going are we gonna win three games this year? Yeah?

93
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: Instead they go out and fight. It was one of

94
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 3: the best crowds just on television. Now I wasn't there,

95
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 3: but one of the best crowds I've seen. I don't

96
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: know if it was the fact that regular season ticket

97
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 3: holders maybe gave their tickets away and people who don't

98
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: normally get to go. But we were on the pregame

99
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 3: show wondering is it gonna be forty percent Georgia fans.

100
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: It wasn't. I don't know what it was, maybe ten,

101
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: but the Kentucky fans were loud, and on.

102
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: Television it looked amazing.

103
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: It did.

104
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 3: It looked amazing for whatever reason. You know, we've talked

105
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 3: about how the SEC network and ESPN sometimes it doesn't

106
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: feel like it's loud. On ABC, it felt loud. It

107
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: was cool with the night. I don't think it could

108
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: have looked better. And then the defense played an offense

109
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 3: that has run through college football and did as well

110
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: as anybody's ever done against You know, they've only scored

111
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 3: under twenty points three times in the last five years

112
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 3: in the reg season, and they're all against us, which

113
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 3: I think is crazy but true. So that's all the positives,

114
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 3: and overall, I'm gonna tell you I come out of

115
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 3: it a lot more positive about this team in UK

116
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 3: football than I did last week. I am frustrated by

117
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 3: the end. I am adamant. I don't understand why they

118
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 3: punted that ball. I said it in the moment, I

119
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: tweeted it in the moment. You cannot punt that ball.

120
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 3: You can't. You just can't. Numbers wise, you can't. The

121
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: numbers are clear. Your best chance is to is to

122
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: go for it. I'll explain why in some more detail

123
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 3: in a minute. I hated that. I also hated that

124
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: there was a fumball and it looked like our guys

125
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 3: had quit on the play and if they had just

126
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: fallen on the ball, we would have had a chance

127
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 3: to win. But I think they thought he was going

128
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: out of bounds and they quit on the play and

129
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 3: the ball just laid there. Overall, I'm still positive I'm

130
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: gonna think about that decision not to punt for a

131
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: long or excuse me, two punt for a long time.

132
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 3: But I also think it's a positive day. Ryan and I.

133
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 3: You know, in the moment, when you're frustrated, as I

134
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: was about the decision to punt, it's easy to overlook

135
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: the big picture, which is, you know, we were right

136
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 3: there with the chance to pull off. There was a

137
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: person on Twitter I saw when we were driving that

138
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 3: said this would be the biggest regular season upset in

139
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 3: college football in fifteen years, and I actually think that

140
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 3: might be true, and we were really close.

141
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: It's gonna be interesting to see where our heads are

142
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 2: at as a fan base after Saturday. You're right, you know,

143
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: do we come out of it feeling a lot better

144
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 2: about our team and what they can do this season?

145
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: But you're right, they were that close of a program

146
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 2: changing win that could have resonated for years and years

147
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 2: and years to beat Georgia that had a forty one

148
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: game winning streak, beat Kentucky with fourteen to fifteen times

149
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: in a row.

150
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 3: And you had him.

151
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 2: If you told me before the game we were gonna

152
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: hold Georgia to one touchdown and thirteen points, I'm thinking

153
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: we win.

154
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: You know, as bad as the offense at times looked

155
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 3: and still as I think our pass protection on offense

156
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: is just brutal. We ran it down their throats most

157
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: of the game. Demi Sumo, he was aw star bab

158
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: come like how many tackles did he break? How many

159
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 3: times did he get hit? And keep going? I mean

160
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: our offense as a whole didn't look great, but they

161
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 3: could run it right down their throat. Demmy.

162
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: I mean there were lots of bright spots, but Demmy

163
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: really shined. That's a guy that was on the team

164
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: last year, didn't get a lot of carries, kind of

165
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: more thinking of him getting receptions, never thought of like

166
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: a work horseback. You could just hand it off to

167
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: over and over, but he was given it to number

168
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: one Georgia. I'm almost just as mad about them stop

169
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: running the ball before the post tame the actual punt.

170
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was second and eight, you're looking at

171
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: four down territory. I wish they had just kept handing

172
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: it off to him because passing clearly wasn't working. He

173
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 1: was I think he was the MVP for Kentucky even

174
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: the outcome weather of their favorite just because they went in.

175
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: There were two scholarship players backfield against Georgia.

176
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 4: And play well.

177
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 3: All right, let's go over the specific decision making there

178
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 3: at the end, because I think Drew hit there are

179
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: two points. Number one is the question of whether or

180
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 3: not to punt. I say this with all due respect

181
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: to folks, and I knew Mark was gonna punt, but

182
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 3: you do not punt there, and and you don't punt there.

183
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: It's a numbers game, and let's just play out the scenarios.

184
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: If you go for it, it's fourth and eight, you're

185
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: gonna have to throw in that situation. Nick Rouse looked

186
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 3: it up. On throws we made of eight yards or more,

187
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 3: we were three for eight. Let's just assume we have

188
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: a three for eight chance, which is about thirty seven

189
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: percent chance of completing it. There's also the possibility that

190
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 3: he could scramble for a first down. So let's say

191
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 3: there's a forty percent chance of making Will you all

192
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 3: grant me, Let's just say it's a forty percent, okay,

193
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 3: sixty percent chance. You don't, first of all, if you

194
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 3: tell me before the game. And by the way, if

195
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 3: we get the first down, we're in field goal range.

196
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, Now that doesn't mean he's gonna make it,

197
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 3: but we're in field goal range and he's made four

198
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: for four so far. Yep. If you had told me

199
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 3: before the game you have a forty percent chance on

200
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,439
Speaker 3: one play to beat Georgia, would we have taken it on?

201
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: Everybody jump on that.

202
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 3: Everybody would have taken everybody. Now, let's look at what

203
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: you have to do if you punt to win. First

204
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 3: of all, you want to you'd love to pin him

205
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 3: inside the ten. But our punter's not that great. He's

206
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 3: just not He averages thirty seven yards. We end up

207
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: getting it at what they get the sixteen seventeen something

208
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: like that. Now, if you're gonna win, you're gonna have

209
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: to stop them three and out. I don't know what

210
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: the percentage chance of that is, but let's give us

211
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: the benefit of that out. Let's say it's a sixty

212
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: percent chance we stop them three out. All right, Their

213
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 3: punter average forty eight yards of punt.

214
00:09:59,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 5: He's want to go.

215
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 3: He's one of the best in the country. So now

216
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 3: take whatever yard line they're going to and then add

217
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,079
Speaker 3: forty eight yards. That probably gets us the ball at

218
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 3: the twenty eight or thirty, which means we need to

219
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: go thirty to thirty five yards with probably a minute left.

220
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: If you don't believe you can go fourth and eight,

221
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: what makes you think you're gonna get thirty five yards?

222
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: So you're gonna have to a stop them on a

223
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: three and out and then b go get thirty five

224
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: yards and you're not gonna be able to run the

225
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: ball because you're not gonna have any timeouts, which means

226
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to throw the whole time. Give me

227
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: the fourth and eight, Drew, I mean, I'd rather have

228
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: that choice. I want to talk about the decision on

229
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: second and eight in a minute, But even with it

230
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 3: fourth and eight, it's a no. And you're playing the

231
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: number one team in the country. You got nothing to lose.

232
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: You got nothing to lose. You gotta go. That's the

233
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: big thing. It's Steu's mentality.

234
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: If you're playing a vanity, Okay, I'll hear you out

235
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: on Punnett, play defense. This is Georgia. No one expected

236
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: you to even be in this moment. Let's gamble a bit,

237
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: Let's go for it. You don't get these opportunities very often.

238
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 1: Have some confidence in your team and see what happens.

239
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: It was kind of felt like a surrender. There, which

240
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: you know, that's just kind of the brand of football

241
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: he plays. He's not gambling much, and that's what he's

242
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna do. He said after the game.

243
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 3: I don't regret it one bit, And ultimately there's so

244
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: much about what Mark's done in this program I respect

245
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 3: it is the fact his playing style is why we

246
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 3: were in that game. His recruiting mentality is why we're

247
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 3: in that game. The toughness he instills is why we're

248
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 3: in that game. But at the end of the day,

249
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: ninety percent of how he coaches I agree, But the

250
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 3: last ten percent is a big ten percent, and we're

251
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: not good at it. He's not aggressive enough in the moment.

252
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 3: And he's also everybody's got strengths and weaknesses. Stoops's biggest

253
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: weakness is time management, and it's always been like that.

254
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: Let me give you a small example that doesn't matter

255
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: in the but let me just give you an example.

256
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 3: Once you go back and look, there's two minutes and

257
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 3: eight seconds left on the clock and Georgia has the ball.

258
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 3: They Georgia has the ball, Kentucky lets the clock run

259
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 3: out to the two minute warning, and then after the

260
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: play they call their final time out at one point

261
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 3: fifty two in the casino. When it gets to two

262
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: o eight, you know what, I'm screaming, call time out,

263
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 3: because if you call it at two oh eight, then

264
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 3: you get the two minute warning at two minutes. Guess

265
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 3: what you just did. By doing that, you saved eight seconds.

266
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 3: You would have saved eight seconds. He let it run

267
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: to the two minute warning, then calls the time out

268
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: after and he cost us eight seconds. Now, we weren't

269
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 3: gonna win, but at the end of the game that

270
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 3: eight seconds, we would have had twenty seven seconds at

271
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 3: the end instead of nineteen seconds. It's a little thing.

272
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody else has mentioned it, but you

273
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 3: cost yourself eight seconds by letting it run. Those are

274
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 3: little things, Drew that.

275
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 6: We always do, always like, and it's because they just

276
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 6: don't have the person on there, the math person whose

277
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 6: only job is to sit there and.

278
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: Look at the clock. And that that bothers me.

279
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: I'm I think I'm just as mad or even more

280
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: mad that they weren't aggressive before the half where that

281
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: same thing happened. Jammy broke a run, he had a

282
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: beautiful spin move. Hit the circle button on him. When

283
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: he goes down, there's nineteen seconds left. They didn't call

284
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 1: a time out till fifteen seconds. I mean four seconds.

285
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: It's four seconds, and I'm you know, a lot of

286
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: people thought with non seconds. I beely was it's worth

287
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: throwing one up today, and one say don't get this intercepted.

288
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 5: Dang, go up and get it, but at least take

289
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 5: one shot at that.

290
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: I was okay with that one And the reason I

291
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 3: was okay with him not doing is we didn't have

292
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 3: a timeout. If he gets and if he gets sacked,

293
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 3: you have to say, Brock, you're rolling out.

294
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 4: I don't know if I trust him. I just don't.

295
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: I mean, if you had called that time out four

296
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: seconds earlier and it's thirteen instead of nine, it's just

297
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: another example of they were wasting time in a critical situation.

298
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 3: Into the first half. Didn't bother me as much because

299
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 3: I thought going into halftime with the lead is good.

300
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: But I understand there are people who agree with you too.

301
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 3: I just just frustrating. But I don't want to overlook

302
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: the overall, which is I think this was an amazing

303
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: performance and the staff deserves a lot of credit. And

304
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 3: part of me wants to say to Mark, if you

305
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: had just gone for it, this would have been at

306
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 3: like he made the decision that led people to almost

307
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: overlook what had happened the rest of the game were

308
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 3: Do you think there's any fan ryn that would have

309
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: been upset at him for going for no? Anybody what

310
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: any of you all been upset for them going for no?

311
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: There's no I think if they go for it and

312
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 3: don't get it, first of all, you still have a chance.

313
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: You're kind of remembered they got those thirty yards in

314
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 3: two plays, you still had a chance. But I also

315
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: think people would have said, well, you know what, we

316
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 3: left it all on the field, And ultimately that's what

317
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: I wish they had done.

318
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: You know, Mark Stoops knows more about football and his

319
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: little pinky than we all know combined. But the fact

320
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: that they didn't at least take a shot against the

321
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: team that nobody's been able to beat, nobody's come close

322
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: to beating them, but Alabama, for crying out loud, why

323
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 2: not take a shot? And you know, after the game,

324
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: he said, if it was fourth and three or fourth

325
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: and close, he said, if it was.

326
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 3: Fourth and six, that's two yard for fourth and six,

327
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to throw it as well, So why

328
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 3: not forth and eight.

329
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 2: You know you mentioned all your scenarios too. If you

330
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: do throw, you got a chance for a PI. You

331
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 2: know that, even that player up before halftime.

332
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: Though, look at the Chiefs gag. You have a chance

333
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 3: for a PI there at the end as well. Eight

334
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 3: five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. I

335
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: want to talk about the thing Drew talked about about

336
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 3: the play calling there at the end, and we'll do

337
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: a lot more. We're here in Somerset, second hour. I'm

338
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: gonna tell you a little bit about Mario. On my

339
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: trip to Green Bay. We had quite an experience one

340
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 3: night that I think is that people will like, we'll

341
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 3: be right back this Kentucky Sports Radio.

342
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 5: That's the old.

343
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 3: Welcome back Tukey Sports Radio text machine seven seven two

344
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 3: seven seven four five two five four. One person writes, mat,

345
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 3: I totally disagree with you on the interception. You can't

346
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 3: overturn that should have been a pick six. Here's my

347
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: only argument why I don't think it is one of

348
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 3: two things happen. Either it hits the ground in which

349
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 3: it's incomplete. Yep. If you think he caught it, which

350
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: I think is the second thing, then he's down. He's

351
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 3: so like he's either down or it's incomplete. The only

352
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: way it's a pick six is if he's going to

353
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: the ground. It doesn't hit the ground and he's juggling it.

354
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can look at that and

355
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 3: think that's what it is. I wish it was, but

356
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: you would have to say it didn't hit the ground,

357
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: he didn't catch it, but it was still moving in

358
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 3: his hands and Drew I just don't see how you

359
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 3: can see that from the video. Yeah, you do.

360
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Almost needed to just bounce off his hand. That's flat

361
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,679
Speaker 1: on the ground, kind of like he's scooping it up.

362
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: But since they did call it, uh the way we

363
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: wanted in real time, I was hoping they wouldn't be

364
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: able to overturn it because that place was on fire.

365
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 1: That would have been a moment we talked about.

366
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 3: Dec I've had people say to me that we're there,

367
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: obviously I wasn't there. That they think that was the

368
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: loudest moment in Kroger Field history. Was that was that?

369
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 3: I don't know because I wasn't there. But the spontaneous

370
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 3: excitement rhyme was as loud as they can ever remember.

371
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: For a couple moments there, we all believed, we all

372
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 2: bought in that that's we're gonna beat Georgia. We all

373
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 2: thought about it. But for that that play right there, man, Again,

374
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 2: the ball just did not bounce Kentucky's way for the

375
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: second game.

376
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: Second game in a row.

377
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: Yes, say, going into that game to beat at Georgia,

378
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: you need a crazy and that would have been the point.

379
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 5: And then when it happened, you're like, oh my goodness,

380
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 5: there it is, but ripped from us.

381
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 3: All right, let's talk about what you said. Second, Nate,

382
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 3: you have the ball. My view is, and again I

383
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 3: don't say this to be rude to Mark Stoops, but

384
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:18,959
Speaker 3: I don't think they think two and three plays ahead.

385
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 3: I just don't think they do. And I think you

386
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 3: have to think, Okay, we're going for this on fourth

387
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 3: down no matter what, and then you make play calls

388
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: like that, and I think you probably run at least

389
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 3: once Drew. Now, I'm not gonna crush bush Hamden because

390
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 3: I think he actually called a great game. You know,

391
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: whatever you want to say about how good our offense

392
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 3: is or not, he called a game that had us

393
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 3: have a chance to win. But I do think they

394
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: messed up by not running on at least one of

395
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: those two plays.

396
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, surprisingly, Demmy was getting downhill running on them. The

397
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 1: line was getting some good holes. Hamden, at least earlier

398
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: in the game, he kind of, you know, they couldn't

399
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: do anything the week before, everything got short as a

400
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: little more east and west, throwing out not not deep

401
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: down the field, not vertical because they weren't getting vertical

402
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: against Georgia. So I like that he kind of worked

403
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: that in, especially in the first half, to get vander

404
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: Griff at least get some completions and some confidence going.

405
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 3: Stoop said something like in the last and this is

406
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 3: an amazing stat that something like in the last five years,

407
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 3: there've only been like eleven passes over twenty yards against

408
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 3: Georgia's defense. It was some crazy number in the red zone.

409
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 3: It was some crazy number. But still I wish they

410
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 3: had done that. But overall, I think Brad White and

411
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 3: Bush Hamdon and Stoops for the pregame, I think the

412
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 3: coaches had that team about as well prepared as you

413
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 3: could have.

414
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 5: I'm with you.

415
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: I thought there might be a scenario where they quit

416
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: in the season too. In a way, I said this

417
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: on our rapid reaction. You don't have moral victories, but

418
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit of some confidence going forward

419
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: out of that game.

420
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 3: Well, there's a guy here, Ryan, who said, it just

421
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 3: makes me more frustrated about South Carolina because imagine if

422
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,679
Speaker 3: you had beaten South Carolina and then had that game,

423
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 3: we'd be sitting here going, who knows, maybe you know,

424
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 3: the playoffs, we'd be unbearable.

425
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that about Hamidy, because I think

426
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,159
Speaker 2: they really kind of he kind of adjusted his scheme

427
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 2: on the flo because we were running the ball so

428
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 2: well against Georgia and if you do run it a

429
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 2: couple times in that scenario, fourth and two is a

430
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 2: lot more manageable than fourth and eight exactly.

431
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 3: You know, let me, how do we have an offensive

432
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: line that is so good at run blocking and so

433
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 3: terrible at pass blocking? Have you ever seen one that's more?

434
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 3: I mean, we've run the ball. We ran the ball

435
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: downhill on South Carolina. Why is it that that that

436
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 3: we are able to run? I mean, people who are

437
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 3: offensive linemen might be able to tell me, But how

438
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: is it we are so good running downhill and we

439
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: can't pass protect at all?

440
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 2: I don't know.

441
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: But if you had told me two weeks ago, you

442
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: know we have this team we've been so excited about

443
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: with Dane, Barren Brown, Macklin. Then you have practice your

444
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: whole backfields out. If you'd told me against number one Georgia,

445
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: we're running down their throat, you know, it seems a

446
00:20:58,359 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: little upside down with how we thought this would go.

447
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 3: Big shout out though to that defense.

448
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 2: Ye oh my goodness.

449
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 3: I mean Kentucky's defense were awesome. They were they were awesome.

450
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 3: I mean they were awesome. What again, like South Carolina

451
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: they had one really good drive. But besides that, Kentucky's

452
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: defense when when Brock fumbled it to hold them to

453
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: a field goal right there, when it felt like, all right,

454
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 3: well that's the guy. Yes, that was I mean, you

455
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 3: gotta give that defense credit.

456
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 2: That was Georgia's I think first first trip on our

457
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 2: side of the field was that fumble and his ion Childress.

458
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 2: I think set the tone early man. He had a

459
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: couple of big hits, knocked out a pass.

460
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 3: Did he had like eleven or thirteen, had like some

461
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 3: crazy amount of tackles for lost early.

462
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd set the tone I think for the defense.

463
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 2: I think everybody really got fired up after that what

464
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: he did.

465
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: Ty Bryant made a huge tackle, he stepped up. They

466
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: were kind of got a slow start.

467
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 3: Dean Walker had a double team on every single play

468
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: and a lot of the guys. You know, his numbers

469
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 3: at the end of the year are probably not gonna

470
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: be what people but like when they watched the tape

471
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 3: at the draft and they see how that dude is

472
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 3: taking up two blockers on every as. Part of the reason,

473
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 3: you know, we were able to get so much pressure

474
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 3: at times was because of him.

475
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's just not a position you're gonna see show

476
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: up in the in the box score much. But he

477
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 1: takes up so much attention on that line and eats

478
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: a blockers. I mean, we haven't seen anyone like him.

479
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: Did you think it was targeting? That was targeting?

480
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 5: Oh, definitely target that damn face mask?

481
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, and how was that that was? I mean that

482
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: was off his head, yeah, and then it was on us.

483
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 3: I don't understand that. All right, We'll take your calls

484
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: very back. Ks R. TJ. Smith, personal injury attorney called TJ.

485
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 3: He'll make them pay.

Speaker 2: No more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage.

487
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 2: Here's Matt Jones.

488
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: Runner back Tucky Sports radio. Here at the ks R

489
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 3: Golf scramble. Twenty teams playing here at Woodson Ben today

490
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 3: should be fun. Hey, there's a deer. Look at those

491
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 3: deer out there in the middle of the court.

492
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 2: Why all wanted to see some Mario deer there? You go.

493
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: Look at that out there and those I think that's

494
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: the first deal. Can I tell you, there's never been

495
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: anyone more excited about anything than Mario's seen windmills and

496
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: corn for the first time. And now, dear, he had

497
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 3: never seen a windmill, and he had never seen corn

498
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 3: until our drive up there, and he got crazy excited

499
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 3: about the corn and windmills. I've never I mean, I

500
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: didn't think corn could be exciting for people, Drew, But

501
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 3: he was excited about the corn and wind mill.

502
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: That's usually a joke you make when you make that

503
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: drive of at all the corn and windmills you see.

504
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 5: You're telling me Mario actually had an appreciation.

505
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,719
Speaker 3: He was excited about it. He'd never seen it before.

506
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: You know, I grew up in Indiana. I'm a I'm

507
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 2: all in on the corn, but the windmills, you see

508
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 2: it for the first time is quite a sight to

509
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: see because so flat, you just go on forever and

510
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: ever and ever up.

511
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: There, one person writes Matt, the reason we're better at

512
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 3: run blocking is it's the stoop's mentality hit him in

513
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 3: the face and move, whereas it takes more athleticism with

514
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 3: the pass blocking and quick feet. That's probably right, honestly

515
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 3: makes sense.

516
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: I loved another player that stepped up as Marcus Cox,

517
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: the five point one we improved on.

518
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 3: It's better, he's better.

519
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 2: I want a lot of that. Demmy and Willcock deserve

520
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 2: a lot of credit to because they were getting a

521
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: lot of yards after they took the a lot attack.

522
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: I'd be interested to see how many yards after the

523
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 3: hit they had because they they took a lot of

524
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 3: the Really, it reminded me of a Benny a little bit,

525
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: the way he would sort of take those hits and

526
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 3: go uh.

527
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 5: Demmy had that spin move I didn't know he had.

528
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: That's true. Cuts back spin move was nice. Now good,

529
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 3: all right, So let me ask you before we get

530
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: the phones. How do you feel going forward like, Okay,

531
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: we're gonna beat let's say we beat Ohio, we're gonna

532
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,119
Speaker 3: be two and two. Do you feel like when we

533
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 3: go to Old Miss we have a.

534
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 2: Shot I'm back on board after Saturday. Okay, really, I

535
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,360
Speaker 2: don't know if they can beat Old Miss down there,

536
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: but they're gonna beat at Florida, Auburn, and Home those

537
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: others falling apart.

538
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 3: Auburn's not good, Andy loses to Georgia State. The path

539
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: to six wins is now completely lined up. Then you

540
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 3: have but then you have Louisville and the top four

541
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: out of five teams in America. So that's what you got,

542
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 3: or three out of four teams in America.

543
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: The offense still has the ways to go, need to

544
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 1: get guys healthy. But the defense that showed up Saturday,

545
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: they'll be able to play with just about anyone.

546
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: We're gonna beat one of Nexas and Tennessee. Look, we're

547
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: gonna beat one of those teams. And I think I'm

548
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 3: saying Old Miss it's at eleven am. It's eleven am.

549
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 5: They haven't played anyone yet.

550
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not gonna like, don't put me online

551
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 3: saying it because I don't want to listen to the

552
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 3: fans those but I.

553
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 4: Kind of we're gonna steal one.

554
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 3: It's hard for me to see us steal in Texas

555
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 3: or Tennessee. So I feel like if we're gonna steal

556
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 3: one old misses.

557
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: You know, we didn't get any votes in the top

558
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: twenty five, but we made an impact because we pulled

559
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: Georgia downs.

560
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: George is the first number one team, Uh what is

561
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 3: it the first night? There's some stat they're the first

562
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 3: one in like twenty years to win a road conference

563
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 3: game and then go down, go down, and uh, and

564
00:25:57,359 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: that was because of the way we play.

565
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: We gotta find a way to get ball on the

566
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,560
Speaker 2: end zone. I mean, eight quarters of the sec we

567
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 2: still have not start.

568
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: That's not good. That's not good. By the way, do

569
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 3: you feel like you can judge Brock yet? I still don't.

570
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: I still don't know. I mean I love his toughness

571
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 3: and I love how he runs. I still don't feel

572
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 3: like I know how good he is because I still

573
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: don't know that he gets a chance.

574
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I have some concerns, some concerns and criticisms,

575
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 1: but it's been a small sample size. I mean, he

576
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: seems to lose his composure pretty quickly, and one to

577
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 1: think turned. But at the same time, if you saw

578
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: what South Carolina was doing and then you're playing against

579
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: number one Georgia, it's hard to say that's just definitively

580
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 1: what he is, because there's.

581
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: A tough kid though. I mean, I mean, he got

582
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 3: that one first down where he dove head first and

583
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 3: I went ah, But he got it and we needed

584
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 3: it on the play the third and long.

585
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: You know, I think he played better than maybe you've

586
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 2: expect because they were plans for bring Wimpson in. I mean,

587
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: they thought they were gonna play Whimpson. He didn't play

588
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: at all because I think of what Vandy Griff was

589
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 2: able to do on Saturday.

590
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 3: We just have to get better at protecting. Luckily, we

591
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 3: won't see a defensive line like those we've seen until

592
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 3: Tennessee and Tech, so hopefully he will have a chance

593
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: to get better.

594
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 4: All right, who's up first?

595
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: Ten? Preacher, Preacher, how are you hey?

596
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 7: I'm doing good today. I've got a compliment and a

597
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 7: criticism that I haven't heard yet. Okay, compliment is I

598
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 7: thought they showed up.

599
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: I'm very proud.

600
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 7: Like you said, I thought there was a chance they

601
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 7: maybe lay down and ride receivers. I give them credit.

602
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 7: That don't get much attention. A week before it's gonna

603
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 7: be hard to come out and be motivated.

604
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 8: But they seem to.

605
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 7: Show up and even lack of targets, they still do

606
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 7: their job. But my criticism, can we catch a punt?

607
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 7: We just looked bounce and bounce, We looked seriously before

608
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 7: we drove.

609
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 3: Well, I think that last punt. Yeah, that last punt, though, Preacher,

610
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: I think was a shank. I think we got We

611
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 3: got unlucky on that Georgia punt you're talking about. I

612
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 3: think he shanked it and then it just took a

613
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 3: great bounce and rolled. But in general, you're right, but

614
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 3: I think that last one was a little bit unlucky

615
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 3: on our part.

616
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 7: That just hidden yards in the ball game. And you

617
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 7: know we're talking about going on fourth and eight from

618
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 7: the fifty. You know, if the catch the punt that's

619
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 7: fifteen yards were down with a thirty five, then we

620
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 7: could punt it.

621
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 3: Or you're exactly right, You're exactly right. I appreciate the call.

622
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: Alex Rayner, by the way, does he break the KSR curse?

623
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 3: Comes on our show Friday and then nails four, including

624
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 3: an all time record for longest one in school history. Alex,

625
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 3: I was one hundred percent confident if we got that

626
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: first down and we were fifty five in Drew. I

627
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 3: was like, he's gonna make it. I had I thought

628
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 3: for I said, if we give him a shot, he.

629
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 4: Will make it.

630
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: I was hoping he'd get that chance. He's from the

631
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: state of Georgia and already said already had a great game.

632
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: He was the first kicker in school history to hit

633
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: two over fifty in addition to having the longest ever.

634
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: So I wanted him to get one more opportunity, and

635
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: I was gonna have faith and pretty closest to anything,

636
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: I mean, within reason, not sixty.

637
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 5: But if you had him even at fifty, I was y.

638
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 3: He wasn't just making him. He was split in the

639
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: uprights like he was. I felt good if we gave

640
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: him a shot.

641
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 2: Let's put we gotta pull back the curtain for just

642
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 2: a second. Max told us that if they get a

643
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: long field goal like that, they may go with the

644
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 2: other guy.

645
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 4: And yet I ain't gonna do that. Now.

646
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 2: Alex was on the show on Friday and you flat

647
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: out asking him how long?

648
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 3: So let me ask you a question, because I can't remember.

649
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: Did he tell me that about having more leg on

650
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: the air or off the air?

651
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 5: I think on the air.

652
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 3: We said what did you Did he say that on

653
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 3: the air? Yeah, because I asked him, I said, do

654
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 3: you have more leg than we've seen? And he said

655
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 3: yes with a confidence. I couldn't remember if he said

656
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 3: that on the air.

657
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 5: Off he said, I'll make whatever they need me to

658
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 5: mat Yeah.

659
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, That's why it's really interesting how we thought maybe

660
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: this other guy was gonna be the long field goal guy.

661
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: And the way you talk to him on the air

662
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: on Friday, he felt like he was confident and Stoops.

663
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 3: Gave him a fifty five yarder. I mean, Stoops doesn't

664
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: let guys kick that length usually, and he gave it

665
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: to him early in the game.

666
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: Wouldn't want to give Georgia the ball at that spot

667
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 1: if he misses this up. Showed a lot of confidence

668
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: in him. And that one, that one in the air,

669
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: I thought, we have to get a little gusta win

670
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: behind this. That one barely got over. It got over

671
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: school record, school record. It's next, Trevor, Trevor, go ahead, Trevor.

672
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 8: Ain't man, how you doing today? I I want to

673
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 8: start this call off by saying I love the unsportsman

674
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 8: line call on the first play of the game, So

675
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 8: that set the tone and the defense came out and

676
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 8: took care of business.

677
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:34,760
Speaker 3: I like that. I like that what happened we weren't

678
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 3: at the place we were going. Yet what happened on

679
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 3: that I didn't see. Did we get an unsportsman line?

680
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: I don't remember what it was.

681
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 8: We just we just got a little chippy, took it

682
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 8: to the line, got a little chippy, and and that's

683
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 8: what needed to happen to be in that game. In

684
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 8: my opinion, is we just set the tone from the jump,

685
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 8: gotcha and we did. Second of all, if you if

686
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,719
Speaker 8: you watched the coverage Georgia was in all game, the

687
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 8: middle of the field was wide open and I was

688
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 8: just free for Willie Rodriguez on the let.

689
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 4: Me tell you something, Yeah, it was driving me insane.

690
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: I appreciate the call. If you, I don't know if

691
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,400
Speaker 3: you've seen this video. It's on social media, but you

692
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 3: need to find it. On our last drive before the fourth,

693
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 3: it was our second down, the second and eight. We've

694
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: talked about part of the reason. Maybe you make the

695
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 3: case that Bush had a good call. Go look at

696
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: that second and eighth. There's a video from the quarterback's

697
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: perspective and Brock gets the ball and if he had

698
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: one millisecond more time, Fred Ferrier was not only open,

699
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: he might have scored a touchdown. Did you see you

700
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 3: know what I'm talking about that If you go back,

701
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: he's cutting across the middle, his guy does not go

702
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: with him. He's looking the other way, and and Brock

703
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 3: sees him, and he throws it and at the last second,

704
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 3: a big guy who's beating his man tips it and

705
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: that was the second down. If he has a millisecond more,

706
00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: if you look at the video from the quarterback's perspective,

707
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: Ferrier either scores or like gets inside the ten yard line.

708
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 3: Drew I was sick after, but when I saw that video,

709
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: I was really sick.

710
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 4: Like a millisecond more and he gets it.

711
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

712
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: I don't want to pile on my guy, Marcus Cox.

713
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: But against a great player, it happens. And vander Griff

714
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: was back pedaling, trying to give himself a second to

715
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:27,959
Speaker 1: get that ball off.

716
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 5: Oh a fraction. I mean, there wasn't really a safety

717
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 5: back there.

718
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,200
Speaker 3: There was no one there that catch.

719
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: He's turning the corner and it's if not all the

720
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: way gone, it's a big explosive.

721
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 3: If you're looking at it from the quarterback's point of view.

722
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 3: All of the defenders are on the right side, and

723
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: Ferrier has the whole left side to himself. Ryan, it

724
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,560
Speaker 3: would have been one of those historic plays, and it

725
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: was tapped barely at the last second.

726
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 2: The offensive coordinators they like to keep one play in

727
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 2: their pocket that they see they think may they may

728
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 2: need late in the game. I wonder if that was it.

729
00:32:59,440 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 2: I wonder that.

730
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 3: So there is a part where we said, well, they

731
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: should have run it on second down. The second down

732
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 3: play worked if Marcus Cox gets that block and Brock

733
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 3: has to complete the pass. But it's a short pass.

734
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 3: It's only like a six or eight yard pass.

735
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, but it just shows I mean,

736
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: they just haven't gotten enough time on Brock dropping back

737
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: to pull those plays off, which is really holding the

738
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: offense back right now.

739
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: You gotta find that video. It'll might make you sick

740
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: as you watch it. Scoring tds or tutties, we could

741
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: use them. We could use at least one. We have

742
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 3: none in our first two days two games, but we'll

743
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: probably score one against Ohio. And if you want to

744
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 3: do that with better score one against Ohio. You can

00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,200

757
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 3: is Kentucky sports radio.

758
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 4: Work.

759
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 3: I'm back. It is Kentucky sports radio. There's people still

760
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 3: going at me about that interception. Listen, I wanted it

761
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 3: to be an interception. I just don't think it was

762
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: because I think if it doesn't hit the ground, then

763
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 3: he caught it. So like it's either it either hits

764
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: the ground or he caught it. There's no point. I

765
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: see him juggling it. And if he's not juggling it,

766
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 3: like remember, I think he actually catches it. A little bit.

767
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: Then I think the ball kind of hits the ground

768
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: and comes out, but I think his elbow is down.

769
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 3: I think the most likely call that probably should have

770
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 3: been is a catch, and then the ground knocks the

771
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 3: ball out, which in the NFL that's not a catch,

772
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 3: but in college, I actually think it is a catch.

773
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 3: But either way, I don't think there's a scenario Drew

774
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 3: where we get the pick six.

775
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember a time where we've had that excitement

776
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: ripped around, ripped away from us like that. I mean

777
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 1: Dane's touchdout an old miss couple of years it comes

778
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: to mind, but I mean that was something special that

779
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 1: got pulled away. That one's gonna sting for a while.

780
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 4: I'll we'll talk more about this later.

781
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 3: But we are at like one of the heads of

782
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 3: ESPN Radio's house and we're watching Mario and I are

783
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 3: watching it like at this point, they hadn't invited us

784
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 3: into the house. We were outside the house, but he

785
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: has a television with four screens, and everybody else is partying,

786
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 3: and Mario and I are watching it through the window

787
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 3: of his house, and we see that play and I

788
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 3: kind of forgot where I was for a minute. And

789
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,440
Speaker 3: I'm in like a sports coat and pants and I start,

790
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 3: I run, I run away and scream, and the entire

791
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: party turns around and looks at me, and he's jumping

792
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 3: up and down, and I'm jumping up and down, and

793
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 3: everybody's going, what's happening? And then then they throw on

794
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 3: the f they say it's incomplet well nothing.

795
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:02,800
Speaker 4: Actually, it was just me going nuts.

796
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 3: I completely you know, for a man my age, I

797
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: completely lost my I went nuts during that play.

798
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:11,919
Speaker 5: I don't think you were alone.

799
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: It was pretty cool that he was running towards the

800
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: student section too, because they were losing.

801
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:16,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

802
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,399
Speaker 1: Also I got a shout out the student section. There's

803
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: been years. Yeah, not their best effort. That thing was

804
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: full like forty five minutes before kickoff and they were

805
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 1: routy the whole time. So I know some tickets got

806
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: sold to red and maybe the top right corner of

807
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: the stadium wasn't full. But whatever, this new class of students,

808
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: they were into some football on it.

809
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm to share. Tom Leech has thought about that interception,

810
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 2: and he was a good point. He said, whipped the

811
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: ball went down the way it popped up in the air,

812
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 2: you almost think a hand had to be under it,

813
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: and when he hit the ground.

814
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 3: Up, I took the opposite view, which is the way

815
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: it popped up. It had to have hit the ground.

816
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 3: But you know, I mean, I don't know. I think

817
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 3: the best argument for call an interception is there wasn't

818
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 3: enough grounds to overturn it. I think when you watch

819
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: it on tape, it's hard to call it an interception.

820
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 3: But I also think the argument of it's not one

821
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: hundred percent clear, it's not a terrible but either way,

822
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 3: it still would have been we deserved a break like that, Yeah.

823
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,879
Speaker 4: And it just didn't happen. Who's up next? Bill, Bill,

824
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 4: go ahead, Bill.

825
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 5: Okay, let's try Craig.

826
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: Craig, go ahead, Craig. Hey, guys, it's a great atmosphere.

827
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 7: You can't ask for better special teams defenses than unbelievable.

828
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 4: But you gotta sense the.

829
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 3: Moment and it's expectations. You gotta go for that.

830
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,879
Speaker 2: The crowd into it, got ready to go.

831
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 3: I mean, it's too RGIU when you're gonna get another

832
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 3: chance like this, and you've got to realize that your defense,

833
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 3: as good as it is, they're they're worn out.

834
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: And it was the same thing as South Carolina.

835
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 2: They played tally good.

836
00:37:58,239 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 5: Defense against South Carolina.

837
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: They just on the field all day, and you gotta

838
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: recognize that moment and you gotta go for it.

839
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 4: We gotta go for it.

840
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 3: Bottom line, let's take Nick Rouse's stats as being correct.

841
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,479
Speaker 3: I have no reason to think they're not. We're three

842
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: for eight on passes going over eight yards, and we've

843
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 3: had two runs for first downs oh more than eight

844
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,360
Speaker 3: yards with a scramble. So I think we got a

845
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 3: forty chance maybe of completing this. You give me a

846
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 3: forty percent chance at home to beat the number one

847
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 3: team in America. I'm going for it every single time.

848
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't give the ball back to them and

849
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 2: let them have a chance to run the clock out.

850
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 2: I think you have to go.

851
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,879
Speaker 3: And remember if you get it, then we're let's say

852
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 3: the forty that we will have the ball.

853
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 5: We are a few.

854
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: Yards from field goal range two or three. They're gonna

855
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 3: use all of their timeouts. They have not shown to

856
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 3: have an explosive passing game in the thing. They're gonna

857
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: use all their timeouts, and if you get another first

858
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 3: you've won the game. Yeah, that's that's the I mean,

859
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,919
Speaker 3: you just true you have to go for it there,

860
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 3: I feel.

861
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I mean, I'm going for it with a

862
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: five percent chance. You just don't get to the ball

863
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: with the Georgia and let them be in control. And

864
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: it's the number one team. If it's any other team

865
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: on the schedule, I'll hear you out a little bit.

866
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: But you're playing the number one team that's won forty

867
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: one consecutive games. You gotta take some chances.

868
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: I agree with you. You tell me before the game

869
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 3: I get one play, fourth and eight to beat George.

870
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 3: Wouldn't we all have signed up for that? Of course,

871
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: every single.

872
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 4: One of us would have signed up for it. You

873
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 4: had it, you have to go.

874
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:44,800
Speaker 2: You have to take it. You have to take that chance.

875
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 4: Who's next, Brandon? Go ahead, Brandon?

876
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 9: Hey, guys, A big fan. I think the game Saturday

877
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 9: brought back a lot of hope to the fan base

878
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 9: that may have been completely gone after the game Saturday,

879
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 9: more in the loss than I believe normal. Yeah, I agree,

880
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 9: I think that we can get to seven wins, but

881
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 9: that Ole Miss game is the big kicker on that one.

882
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 9: My question to you guys is what what happen to

883
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 9: Stoops if he missed a Bowl game, or had six

884
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 9: wins and only lost the Bowl game.

885
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, nothing's gonna happen to him unless he wants to

886
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 3: Unless he wants to do it. I mean, I'm you know,

887
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 3: I'll probably get asked some version of this question thirty

888
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 3: fifty hundred times on this show over the next two months,

889
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 3: and it's gonna be the same answer. Absence some crazy

890
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 3: thing happening. He will not get fired. He will only

891
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: not be the coach here if he doesn't want to be,

892
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 3: which I think is a decent chance. I think if

893
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 3: you win six games, they wouldn't even be a discussion.

894
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 3: Seven games wouldn't be a discussion. Five there's gonna be

895
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 3: a lot of unrest with the fans, and that's an issue.

896
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 3: But because of what he's done here, because of his contract,

897
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 3: because of how he and mitched, there is not a

898
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 3: scenario that I could see where he would be fired. Now,

899
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 3: if they won three, then let's talk about it. But

900
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 3: even then, even then, I'd be surprised. To be honest

901
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 3: with you, Okay, thank you appreciate it. Do you agree

902
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 3: with that?

903
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he's earned the right to climb out

904
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: of this whole. Heck, we said the same thing about

905
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:22,959
Speaker 1: cal he's earned the right to get out of the mess.

906
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 1: I agree, and it did another first round loss, so

907
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: I think, and I thought even before losing South Carolina,

908
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 1: we're getting near the stoops there. Anyway, it's been twelve years.

909
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: We know the family history. I think you look at

910
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: the end of this year, he might consider it. Heck,

911
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: right now, we're projected to play Iowa in a bowl game.

912
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:38,120
Speaker 1: One of the beats Iowa.

913
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:39,840
Speaker 4: If we have to play Iowan a bowl game.

914
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 5: Music City Bowl. That's the new projection.

915
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: We cannot play Iowa anymore in these games. All right,

916
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 3: when we come back, we'll talk more about the game.

917
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 3: I want to tell you about, uh my bizarre Saturday

918
00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 3: night in Milwaukee and being in Green Bay and we're

919
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 3: here in Somerset. Sponsored by Don Franklin. This is KSR.
