1
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,799
Speaker 1: All right, welcome to Lake Kick is Live. It is

2
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: Sunday night. It is November eighth, the year of Our Lord,

3
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. We're jam packed as you can imagine tonight.

4
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 1: We had a great night of football last night. Some

5
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: that you watched, some you didn't watch. You'll hear about

6
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: pretty much. All love it here on the show tonight.

7
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: I mean Notre Dame did it, Florida did it, Liberty

8
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: did it. My Iowa state cyclones are now a top

9
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: the Big twelve standings, Arkansas did it. We've got to

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: talk about Tennessee. We got to talk about Georgia. Oh,

11
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: we got to talk about South Carolina. So we've got

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: that plus an early best bet. Someone out there is

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: about to be smart enough to hire Hugh Freeze.

14
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,600

00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: handle at Late Kick Josh. Also, I was gonna stop

27
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: doing this, but I can't stop cause the submissions keep coming.

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 2: So and we got flooded with them last week. I

29
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: was on Colin.

30
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: We went on the air last week and at the

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: beginning of the Sunday show and the beginning of the

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Thursday show, I put out the call to action, and

33
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: by the time I got off the air, I already

34
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: had like twelve or thirteen emails. So what I've been

35
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: doing very quickly because most of you this doesn't pertain

36
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: to you. But what I've been doing is a lot

37
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: of you. A while back reached out to me. You

38
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: wanted consultation, one on one advice feedback. How in the

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: world do I get into that business? What is your advice?

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: If I want to go this way that way, if

41
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: I want to launch a YouTube channel, how do I

42
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: do it? Well? So I've been having some one on

43
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: one zoom consultations with you guys or about an hour.

44
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: He's been having really really good feedback with you. I mean,

45
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 1: I'd hire like thirty of you if I could right now.

46
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: So I don't think we have that kind of budget

47
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: for the Late kickstaff, But if you want a piece

48
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: of that, email me Josh Payt seven zero six at

49
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: gmail dot com or dm me on Twitter at Latekickjosh.

50
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: All right, let's dive in. We are going to go

51
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: all over the place. So first place I want to

52
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: go is Jacksonville, Florida forty four, Georgia twenty eight.

53
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: Where would you start?

54
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: I was wondering that as I was driving in here today,

55
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: Where would you start if you were talking about this? Well,

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: normally I like to go down the winner's route first,

57
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: but I'm going to talk about Kirby and George's future here.

58
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to definitely talk about the quarterback situation there.

59
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about everything Florida. There was a

60
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: false padlock stat in this game. Padlock stats. We have

61
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: our own language here on Late Kick and padlock stats.

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: As I've explained many times, our stats where if I

63
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: showed them to you Friday, you'd know everything you needed

64
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: to know about the outcome of the game. Well, what

65
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: a lot of you have taken to doing is you've

66
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: taken to emailing me or dm me on Twitter after

67
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: games saying, hey, look a padlock stat. But see, some

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: padlock stats aren't really padlock stats. Some of them are false.

69
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: Let me give you an example of what a false

70
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: padlock stat is. What if I told you on Friday

71
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: or even Saturday morning, sitting there having breakfast with your kids.

72
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: What if I were to tell you today for your

73
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: Georgia Bulldogs, you are going to outrush Florida by sixty

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,119
Speaker 1: eight yards, You're gonna hold Kyle Pitts to two catches,

75
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: and you're gonna grab a fourteen to nothing lead.

76
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 2: How confident would you have been?

77
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: How much money, how much of your savings account would

78
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: you have dipped into to dump money on the University

79
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: of Georgia plus whatever? Just take them on the money line.

80
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: That's what happened yesterday. And yet here's the bomb that

81
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: got dropped on you. Even with all that being the case,

82
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: you still trailed by seventeen at the half. Yes, you

83
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: heard that right. If you missed the first half of

84
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: this game, Georgia both grabbed a fourteen nothing lead and

85
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: trailed by seventeen at the half. Our best bet last

86
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: was Florida plus four and a half. We felt the

87
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: wrong team was favored. I told you that all week.

88
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: We gave you our reasoning. We don't need to look

89
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: back on that. However, some of you started to have doubts.

90
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: No sooner had I settled in across the walkway here

91
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: in the twenty four to seven Sports office, than Georgia

92
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 1: was up fourteen to nothing. And I looked, and I

93
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: saw the phone, saw the eye Josh going crazy, Twitter

94
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: notifications all over the place, and I looked in my DMS,

95
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of you were daring to question our

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: bet of Florida plus four and a half, and none

97
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: of you wanted to out yourselves afterwards. I'm not gonna

98
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 1: out you, but you know who you are. So Florida

99
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: comes through with flying colors. I had a hard time

100
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: painting a path for Georgia last week. Believe me, It's

101
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: not normally in my best interest to make one of

102
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: our best bets a bet that goes against one of

103
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: our biggest audiences, and Georgia is one of our biggest audiences.

104
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: But I couldn't find a way for him, and especially

105
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: when I knew Jordan Davis probably wasn't going to play

106
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 1: for him, and listen, I thought Louis Sceene was going

107
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: to be out. He started, it ended up getting knocked

108
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: out of the game. But that plus having a decided

109
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 1: advantage at quarterback for Florida and knowing that they're peaking

110
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: at the right time. If you've watched Florida this year,

111
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: they've been getting better, especially coming out of that little

112
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: two or three week pause, they've been getting better. Georgia

113
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: banged up limited offense for Georgia, there was this talking point.

114
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: I didn't know it was a big deal until later

115
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: in the week because, as I've told you, I don't

116
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: watch other shows. I just don't listen to other shows.

117
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 1: I'll tell you exactly what I listened to. I listened

118
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: to Barton and Bud stuff, and they do that in

119
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: house here. I listen to their very informed It's a

120
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,799
Speaker 1: lot of deep dive stuff. It's the kind of content

121
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 1: that I prefer. And I'll listen to the guys who

122
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: do the Cover three podcast. I'll listen to that sometimes,

123
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: especially I'll listen to reaction type stuff. But otherwise I

124
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: don't watch the studio shows. So a lot of times

125
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: you guys are hearing stuff all week that I don't

126
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: know you're hearing. So I was doing radio in Atlanta

127
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: Saturday morning with Hudson Mason and he throws a stat

128
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: at me. And I heard Rusty say it earlier in

129
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: the week two about the rushing numbers and how decided

130
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: an advantage is in this particular series for the team

131
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: that has more rushing yards. And I picked up on

132
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: the idea that this must be a major talking point

133
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: out there in the kind of college football ecosystem about

134
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: this game. I couldn't have cared less about it. And

135
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: I told I told Hudson Mason that I told Rusty.

136
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 1: I told everyone that, I mean, maybe someone out rushes

137
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: someone and wins in this game, but I really don't

138
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: think that'll be the key factor.

139
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: It didn't mean anything.

140
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: George's rushing told us yesterday twenty nine runs, one hundred

141
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards. They averaged five point seven to carry.

142
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: Those are good numbers. Florida was thirty seven for ninety

143
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: seven two point six per carry.

144
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: Did it matter? Nope, didn't matter.

145
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: It didn't matter for them about as much as it

146
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: didn't matter for LSU at times last year when you

147
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: know Clyde Edwards a layer and those guys, I mean,

148
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 1: they'd do enough on the ground, but that's not how

149
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: they were winning games. That's the only way Georgia was

150
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna win yesterday. That wasn't the way Florida was gonna win.

151
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: So Trask was everything. The run game was and everything

152
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Trask was everything. Thirty of forty three four to

153
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: seventy four through the air. At vast majority of those

154
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: passing yards came in the first half. Four touchdowns, one interception.

155
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: How about this number? Talking about at the wide receiver position.

156
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: If I had a couple of questions about Florida earlier

157
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: in the year, it was how truly deeper they're going

158
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: to be? Are they going to be with difference makers

159
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: at the receiver position? Because you knew the names, but

160
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to know how deep are they're going to be?

161
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: Consistently they had seven wide receivers with at least thirty

162
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: nine yards receiving yesterday. That's a heck of a job

163
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: of development. That's a heck of a job, play calling, distribution, everything,

164
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: that's a heck of a job right there by Florida.

165
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember back in Week one? Last thing I

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: told Colin before I walked in the room here at

167
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: the studio, I said, Colin, do you remember in week

168
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: one how much how much pushback we got?

169
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 2: Because here's what I did.

170
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: I picked Georgia to win the SEC East in the preseason,

171
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: I told you I'm not convicted in this, it's like

172
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: fifty two to forty eight kind of opinion.

173
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: And then I watched Week one.

174
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: I watched what happened at Arkansas with Georgia, and I

175
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 1: watched what Florida did to ole Miss, and I immediately

176
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: reversed my opinion on the SEC East. And a lot

177
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: of you said you can't flip flop, and I said,

178
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: of course I can. It's my pick.

179
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 2: I can do whatever I want to with it.

180
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: And then some other folks came forward and said, you're

181
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: an idiot. Florida plays no defense. Georgia will expose them.

182
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: I just didn't feel that way. I know Florida's defense

183
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: left a lot to be desired. In Week one, I

184
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: watched the same game you guys did, but I thought

185
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: that there were a lot of parallels to be drawn

186
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: between that Florida team and LSU last year.

187
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: This is a very tired comparison. I know you're tired

188
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: of hearing it.

189
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 1: And I as sure as I say I'm not comparing

190
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: them to LSU shot for shot last year, you'll still

191
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: take that away.

192
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: So that's fine. I can only tell you what I'm

193
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,439
Speaker 2: telling you, and what I'm telling you is they've improved defensively.

194
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: Getting Kyrie Campbell back was big, but it's an improved product.

195
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 2: That's what great teams do. They improve week over week.

196
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: You get this idea frozen in your head from the

197
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: first images you see of a team. I mean, how's

198
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: that working out for you with Michigan? You know, like

199
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: you can't do that. You've got to understand the good teams,

200
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: the ones that are gonna end up being good to great,

201
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna progress week over week. They're gonna be incremental

202
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 1: to significant improvement week over week. Well, now, Florida is

203
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: not gonna be a top five defensive unit in America

204
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: at any point this year.

205
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: They don't have to be, because their offense fits that description.

206
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: But yesterday, I mean Georgia, they got some yards, they

207
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: got some points, but Florida's defense is plenty good enough

208
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 1: at this point for them to be competitive against pretty

209
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: much everyone. It's not a finished product. There's a lot

210
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 1: of points Georgia left on the field yesterday. But what

211
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 1: I felt was, when those two teams eventually match up,

212
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: I'm a lot more likely this year to see the

213
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: result we saw yesterday than to see a sixteen to

214
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: fourteen rock fight. I just didn't think that was the

215
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: kind of game we were gonna get this year, and

216
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: we didn't. So, you know, it's a testament to Florida,

217
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: Like we get all that, Okay, the congratulations, the pats

218
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 1: on the back, but Florida's offense bought that defense time

219
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: this year and they've come far enough, and it's it's

220
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: such a huge outcome for Dan Mullen and Florida Aside

221
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: from the obvious, you understand what it does this year.

222
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: It pretty much puts them in Atlanta to face probably

223
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Alabama for.

224
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 2: The SEC championship game. But here's what's happened.

225
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: We were asking the question in kind of a rhetorical

226
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 1: manner Thursday, could there be a balance of power shift

227
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: in the East. That's still to be determined, by the way,

228
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: based on what this team does with this whim But

229
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: there's already been a little shift. I'll give you the

230
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: little shift. As this game was wrapping up yesterday, I

231
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: had some Bama folks text to me saying, I'd much

232
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: rather face Georgia again than face Florida.

233
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: When's the last time someone said that.

234
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: When's the last time anyone in the SEC West was

235
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: looking ahead to a hypothetical matchup in Atlanta and saying, Ooh,

236
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: Florida scares me a lot more than Georgia does. Don't

237
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: overlook that that's a big deal.

238
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

239
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: You want to know about a program growing, You want

240
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: to know about progression, whatever the dynamics are, whatever you

241
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: think is isolated to this year. The point is Florida's

242
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: got folks more scared in the West now than Georgia does.

243
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't think that means nothing and I mean everything.

244
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: But that's not something to just toss to the side,

245
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: because that's something that you look back on five years

246
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: from now and you may say, you know, I knew

247
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: this stuff was shifting when those folks in Tuscaloosa got

248
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: a little more worried about the team in Gainesville than

249
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: the team in Athens. Because that has not been the

250
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: case as recently is a month ago. For a lot

251
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: of them, that wasn't the case. Now. I want to

252
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: talk about Kirby, though, and I want to talk about Georgia.

253
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: I listened to his postgame presser yesterday, and I got

254
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 1: to be honest. There are some terrible questions thrown his way.

255
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 2: Credit him.

256
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: He didn't win a game yesterday, but he won his

257
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: press conference because my goodness, at any point I thought

258
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: he was going to backhand the laptop or whatever virtual

259
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: setting he had camera in front of him. There were

260
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: some bad questions thrown his way, but I'll tell you

261
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: one of the best ones that was thrown his way

262
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: was from Jake row. It's very clear who understands the

263
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: game and who doesn't. So Jake's football guy. He understands

264
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: the game. I think he's coached it as well. So

265
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: he throws a question at Kirby smart and Kirby can

266
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: go any direction he wants to with it. And this

267
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: is after the game, so we've all seen the game

268
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: play out, and Jake essentially asked him, what kind.

269
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: Of offense do you want to have?

270
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: Because there's this notion out there, and you can correct

271
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: it if I'm wrong. There's this notion that you just

272
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: want to possess the ball, ball control, bleed, the clock,

273
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: run it, the two to one run to pass ratio, Like,

274
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: how do you want to play? And Kirby said, I

275
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: want to win. That's how I want to play. I

276
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: want to play in whatever gives us the best chance

277
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: to win. That's the style. So now I want to

278
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: go to the accusations being thrown Kirby Smart's way. You

279
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: know that I'm kind of a pendulum setter here on

280
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: the show where I'm never as critical most of the time.

281
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 1: I'm never as critical as the most critical, but I'm

282
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: never as praiseworthy as the most praiseworthy. So now the

283
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: pendulum has swung on Kirby where I'm going to have

284
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: to pull you guys back to the center a little bit.

285
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: There's a big gap between can't and hasn't. There's a

286
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of can't being thrown around about Kirby right now.

287
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: Can't develop quarterback, can't have a functional offense, can't develop

288
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball period. Maybe it's been

289
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: lackluster thus far, Maybe the quarterback situation has been mismanaged,

290
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: or maybe it hasn't. Because the bottom line is until

291
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: the end of time. You nor I were not involved

292
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: in that program when it came down to Justin Fields

293
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: and Jake from and no one's changing their mind on that.

294
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying there could have been forty seven

295
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: different factors that none of us we're privy to that

296
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: went a long way in making the decision they made.

297
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: So my point is, whatever happened, I'll play devil's advocate

298
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: for you. Let's say they did mismanage the quarterback situation.

299
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: The point he's making now is that's in the past.

300
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: It's not like after every loss as a head coach

301
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: you sit around and you say, darn it, if we

302
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 1: had just made a different decision three years ago, where

303
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: would we be irrelevant?

304
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:23,119
Speaker 2: That's the answer.

305
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter because you can't go back and change it.

306
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: So what he's saying and his answer yesterday, I encourage

307
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: you to go back and watch it. His answer to

308
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 1: Jake Row was, I want to play in a way

309
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: that we win the game. That's the style, And he said,

310
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: we could run the plays Alabama runs right now, we

311
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: could run the plays Florida runs. It's not like the

312
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: plays are hard to figure out. We don't have the

313
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: horses to run the plays, and until we have them,

314
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: it's not like we can just snap our fingers and say,

315
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,719
Speaker 1: I think we'll run the Alabama offense this week. This

316
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: is where the Xbox crowd and the football crowd don't

317
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: really jive. The Xbox crowd sometimes thinks it's as simple

318
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: as looking, not liking what you see, and you hit

319
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: three set button. That's what you can do Xbox world.

320
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: You can't do that in the real world. In the

321
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: real world, you gotta lick your wounds. You gotta go home,

322
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,439
Speaker 1: you gotta get bandaged up, and you gotta go play Missouri,

323
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: who's off a bye and you're only favored by thirteen

324
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: points against this week. And then you got to finish

325
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: your season. And then you got to go get the horses,

326
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 1: and you got to bring them into the stable, and

327
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 1: then you gotta let them run.

328
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: You can't let them run if you just got Dobermans.

329
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 2: You gotta have horses.

330
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: Horses many things Doberman's they are not vice versa.

331
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: And so in the meantime, what do you do?

332
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: What do you do? Do You just sit there and

333
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: just make the same criticism every week, Because I can

334
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: tell you right now the same as I told you

335
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: about Stets and Bennett early on that you remember a

336
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of you remember you've been silent now, but a

337
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of you who were all in our DMS when

338
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: you said we were hating on Stets and Bennett weren't

339
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: hating on anybody. That kid's not an SEC championship caliber quarterback.

340
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: It was plain this day back then. It's clear now.

341
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: It's as clear now as it was back then. I

342
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: don't know why people tried to convince themselves of otherwise.

343
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: But the hope back then was you had the JT.

344
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 1: Daniels ace in the hole. You had it in your

345
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: back pocket, and at any point Kirby's pulling it out,

346
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: he's not close to going in.

347
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: He's not close to being.

348
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Ready to play, and I wouldn't count on it happening.

349
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: That's not inside information, mind you. It's not something I've

350
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 1: heard in the last twenty four hours. It's just context clues.

351
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: I don't know if you noticed they had to go

352
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 1: to their backup quarterback yesterday. It wasn't JT.

353
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 2: Daniels, it was Dwan Mathis.

354
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Whatever you want to make of that, make of it,

355
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: but I will say this, when you watch Mathis go in,

356
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious why Bennett had been the

357
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: guy starting, so he's he being Kirby has been starting

358
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: the best option he has. He just doesn't have options.

359
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: Do you know how helpless that probably feels. You can

360
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: say it's his fault or not, but that's what they

361
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: have to play with. So I will say this though,

362
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: as much as I may say, hey, give them time,

363
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: give them time. And it's not like there's any hot

364
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: seat talk with him. We got plenty of hot seat

365
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: talk coming up. Trust me.

366
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: This goes back to.

367
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: The point I made in twenty seventeen down in Columbus, GA,

368
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: and I'm making it now and I've made it every

369
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 1: year since then.

370
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 2: I kind of made it with LSU last year.

371
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 1: This sounds like it's a no brainer, but I don't

372
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: really think Sometimes folks view it in the proper context.

373
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: It is so beyond imperative that you win a championship.

374
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: When you have a chance to win a championship, there

375
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: is never a guarantee you're going back. I don't care

376
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: if you recruit the number one class in the country

377
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: every year until the end of eternity. There are one

378
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: hundred moving pieces in this sport. You can have a

379
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: loaded roster. Every year. You get to a championship like

380
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: they did in twenty seventeen, you get into overtime in

381
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: a championship, you better win it. Because LSU won it

382
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 1: last year. They're a disaster right now. It doesn't matter.

383
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: No one's taking that title away from them. Georgia got

384
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: that close, then they got pretty close again the next year,

385
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: and talking point coming out of it, Trust me, I

386
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: was in Georgia at the time, so I know good

387
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: and well what the talking point was. The talking point

388
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: was this hurts, this sucks, but that's all right, We'll

389
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: get ours eventually because we're just We're gonna be there

390
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: every year. I mean, how could we not with this roster.

391
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: This is how this season is an example of how

392
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: last year that's an example of how. So it's only

393
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,159
Speaker 1: been a little while. Kirby's going to be there a

394
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: lot longer. They may win four of them for all

395
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: I know, but they hadn't won one yet. And do

396
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: you feel like you're closer or further away from a

397
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: national title today than you were in twenty seventeen. Think

398
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,439
Speaker 1: about that, because now the roster is entirely Kirby's. It

399
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: wasn't back then, that was still park Rick park Smart.

400
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: So this game works in funny ways. You gotta win

401
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: those titles when you can win them. Now, Florida, we're

402
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: going to talk about this more this week. Next question

403
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: is do they handle their business the rest of the way.

404
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: And then the question a little ways down the road

405
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: that we're not going to wait until we'll probably talk

406
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: about it this week. How do they compare with Alabama?

407
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 2: Why not?

408
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 1: Let's just start wildly making predictions sometime this week. So

409
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: congratulations to Dan Mullen and congratulations to the Florida Gators.

410
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 1: Speaking of congratulations, oh my goodness, Notre Dame forty seven,

411
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: Clemson forty. A lot of times these games are built up,

412
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 1: a lot of times they don't deliver. But whoo, this

413
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: one delivered last night, goes into overtime. Got to go

414
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: right back to what we were just talking about. If

415
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: you're watching this video individually, this is part of Late

416
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: Kick Live overall, So Colin has cut the video out

417
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: if you're watching it later. But I was just a

418
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago talking about the difference between can't

419
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: and haven't a lot of people say, Brian Kelly can't

420
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: win the Big Game. A lot of people had previously

421
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: said Brian Kelly can't beat an elite team like a

422
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: Clemson or an Alabama. No, that's never been true. He hasn't.

423
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: There's a big difference between hasn't and can't. Brian Kelly hadn't,

424
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: but now he has now. Earlier this year, I was

425
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: talking to Brian Kelly when it was the middle of

426
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: the off season, and I really was struck by just

427
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: how brutally honest he is about everything. So sometimes you

428
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 1: got to handle coaches in a little more pr centric

429
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 1: kind of way, and they got some talking points they

430
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: want you to toss to him, and you get the

431
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: sense early on this interview is not really going to

432
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: accomplish much. Brian Kelly's not like that. Brian Kelly's really honest.

433
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: He's really open, really forthright. And so you know, since

434
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: I was doing an interview, you guys were gonna see anyway.

435
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: I said, I know good and well what our viewers

436
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: want to know. So I'm just gonna ask this guy. Colin.

437
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: Let's cue this up. This is a couple of months ago,

438
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: myself talking to Brian Kelly, and I want you to

439
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: keep in mind what you saw last night as you

440
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 1: listen to his response to this question. And yet there's

441
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: this tier and that's the way that people look at

442
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: college football now in tiers, and you got Clemson and Alabama,

443
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: and folks don't necessarily throw Notre Dame in that top

444
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: tier yet. And I would imagine this because there hasn't

445
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: been that national championship. There's no doubt Notre Dame's close.

446
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:48,879
Speaker 1: Is there a feeling internally, or maybe you don't even

447
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: look at it like this, but is there a feeling

448
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 1: internally that there's one more step we got to take?

449
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: And if so, what is that next step? What comes

450
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: in that final step in the process.

451
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: Well, I think the step is to continue. You have

452
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 3: to do this on a consistent basis. You know, three

453
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 3: double digit win seasons, four out of five is beginning

454
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 3: to show signs of that consistency.

455
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: But I think that has to come first.

456
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 3: Consistently double digit wins puts you then in a position

457
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 3: where you can recruit at the highest level. Then I

458
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 3: think the final stage of that is you have to

459
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 3: break through and win one of those games. You know,

460
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 3: we've been in a number of those, and I've led

461
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 3: our team to a number of those games, and we

462
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 3: quite frankly, have not broken through.

463
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: We will.

464
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 3: I had a similar situation with the other programs that

465
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 3: I've been adding, and we have to keep banging at

466
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 3: that door. But we finally broke through, and we'll break

467
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 3: through it Notre Dame.

468
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: So a few takeaways. Number one the guy on the

469
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: right and needs to buy a few more white shirts.

470
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,399
Speaker 1: Number two takeaway here, though in a much more serious manner,

471
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: is they won a game last night against Clinton who

472
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: had a number one next to their name.

473
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't care who was out?

474
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: Did you see who was in? I'll get to that

475
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: in a second. I know Trevor Lawrence was out. I

476
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: know they had a couple of defensive guys out, But

477
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: like I just asked, you, did you see who was in?

478
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 2: Because I've been told about a thousand times a day.

479
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: If I've been told once that once these two teams

480
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 1: play again, they probably will Trevor Lawrence will just mopped

481
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: the floor with Clemson. Could I ask you something, twenty

482
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: nine of forty four, four hundred and thirty nine yards

483
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Is Trevor Lawrence putting up a stat

484
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: line A whole lot better than that? I don't think,

485
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: so you know how, I don't because he hasn't so far.

486
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: And so dj uyangli Lay played out of his mind

487
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 1: last night. That was winning football he played. They didn't

488
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: win the game, but that was winning football. As we

489
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: said leading up to the game last week, that wasn't

490
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: going to be the problem for Notre Dame, or it

491
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: wasn't going to be problem for Clemson. Rather, the problem

492
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: is going to be the defensive guys they were missing. Now,

493
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: if you're going to insinuate to me that once Clemson

494
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: is one hundred percent defensively, then it's going to be

495
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot tougher task for Notre Dame.

496
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: I'll grant you that it was a tough task for

497
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 2: him last night.

498
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: But I mean, let's not pretend every single bounce game

499
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: went Notre Dame's way either. There were you know, a

500
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: lot of things I call him bob plays that could

501
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: be flags, They could be a random fumble into the

502
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: end zone, all sorts of things that make or break

503
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: a game. But Clemson had no weakness at quarterback last night.

504
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: So let's dive into this a little waves because last

505
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 1: night dj Uyangala Lay wrecked what was going to be

506
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: a great padlock stat in this game. As I told you,

507
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: there was some fake padlock stats out there last night.

508
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: What if I were to tell you Friday morning that

509
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: total rushing Notre Dame was going to have forty one

510
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: rushing or forty one attempts for two hundred and nine

511
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: rushing yards.

512
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: That's five point one per carry.

513
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: Clemson was going to have thirty three runs for thirty

514
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: four total rushing yards. I did the math. That's about

515
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: one yard per carry. Dj Uyangala Lay almost wrecked that

516
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: single handedly. That kind of rushing disparity normally exists in

517
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: a three plus touchdown whim and yet that guy played

518
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: so out of his mind last night and almost still

519
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: won the game. So their vulnerability was not offensive. And

520
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: I don't care when Trevor Lawrence comes back, you better

521
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: get a much better defensive effort or you're gonna have

522
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: the same kind of game. Notre Dame is overrated is

523
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: probably something I'm told every day every time the hour

524
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 1: hand passes twelve.

525
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: It'slice like on the hour.

526
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: Every hour. Someone's got to tell me that, And I've

527
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: always pushed back on it, only because I don't know

528
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: of anyone that's overrating them. Anyone whose opinion really matters. Okay,

529
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about your uncle, Jethrow. I'm talking about

530
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: folks whose opinion really matters. I've not seen to this

531
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: point this year, I had not seen anyone put Notre

532
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: Dame above Ohio State or Alabama or Clemson. Until last night,

533
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: mind you, I had not seen anyone doing that. And

534
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: so aside from that group, they're about as good as

535
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: anyone else out there, or they have been so far

536
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: this year. No one's overrated them. Not many people had

537
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: overrated them. This game's gonna resonate. I'm telling you, this

538
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: game's gonna resonate. Will there be a rematch there probably will.

539
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: Will they be an underdog in it? They absolutely will.

540
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: Will it be a blowout? I think that's very unlikely.

541
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 1: But consider what Notre Dame wants to sell, and then

542
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 1: consider what America saw last night. Because we've talked about

543
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: this many times.

544
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: With Notre Dame.

545
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: They like many teams out there, Grant, you are a

546
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: quarterback away. We said about Penn State all the time,

547
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: and boy do we have a lot to say about

548
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: Penn State coming up later in the show, But we

549
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: say it about Penn State. We said it about Notre Dame.

550
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,360
Speaker 1: How different would that program be if you just took

551
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: an elite quarterback and put it on the roster, keep everything.

552
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: Else as is. Well, they don't have that right now.

553
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: And so in lieu of that, we said last week,

554
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: in order for this game to be competitive, all you

555
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 1: need is ian Book to play the best game of

556
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: his career, which sounded far fetched, but I did kind

557
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: of draw a comparison to what Jake from was able

558
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: to do a couple of times against Alabama. Jake Fromm

559
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: was quarterback for Georgia, had a very good career, not

560
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: a great career, but a very good career. But he

561
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 1: played great football in the biggest moments against Alabama. You

562
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: wouldn't expect that. You think he'd light up Vanderbilt or

563
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina. No, man, he did it against Alabama. So

564
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: I said, if no, the Dame's gonna win game. Ian

565
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: Book needs to do that. This kid last night goes

566
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:06,879
Speaker 1: twenty three of thirty nine, three hundred and ten yards

567
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 1: in a touchdown. That is not an ian Book stat line,

568
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: but yet that's what he did last night. Needed the

569
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,040
Speaker 1: game of his career, got the game of his career.

570
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: I was very happy. I Sometimes you guys claim I'm

571
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,239
Speaker 1: biased and I'm not, and I always tell you you

572
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 1: don't need the guess I'll tell you. So I had

573
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,720
Speaker 1: a bias in this game last night. I was pulling

574
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame. Plenty of times I pulled for Clemson.

575
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: It's not an anti Clemson thing, but I was pulling

576
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: for Notre Dame last night. I just always had it. Well,

577
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: I haven't always actually, I was raised to hate Notre Dame.

578
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: But when I went up there in twenty seventeen for

579
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: that Georgia game, it was the first time i'd been

580
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: up there, and it yeah, you know, it felt kind

581
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,879
Speaker 1: of like a movie scene, mainly cause it is. But

582
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, my only impression of South Bend had been

583
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: the movie Rudy. So I went up there fell in

584
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 1: love with the place. Southern hospitality is a real thing,

585
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: but the folks in South Bend, Indiana acted like they

586
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: were from Opelaca, Alabama, so it felt like I was home.

587
00:25:57,600 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 1: It's just the Southern accents weren't there, and there was

588
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,439
Speaker 1: a little bit more corn, but it was great. I

589
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: loved it up there, So I kind of have had

590
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: a little side rooting interest for Notre Dame, and I

591
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: like tradition. I very much respect the tradition of college football,

592
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: so I was pulling for him last night.

593
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 2: So I was very happy to see it. So I

594
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 2: had bias in this game.

595
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 1: To be perfectly clear, they had to make someone not

596
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: named Travis Etn beat them. I did like four radio

597
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 1: hits and I did one Indiana. I did a few

598
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 1: in the Carolinas last week, and every one of them

599
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: I said the same thing. And that's not rocket science.

600
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 1: But they did it. Travis Etn. You could have made

601
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: the argument was the best football player on the field

602
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: last night going into the game at least, And yet

603
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: there he is eighteen carries for twenty eight yards. Also,

604
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: not to be overlooked, the punter hawked him down before

605
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: the half.

606
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: That was huge.

607
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,239
Speaker 1: Tried to hurdle him. Punters not to be trifled with

608
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: at Notre Dame at least. So you may think Clems

609
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: is going to win this rematch when it happens. You

610
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: may think that I may think that when it comes.

611
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make any prediction right now. Let's

612
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: make sure the game happens first. But I don't necessarily

613
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: know that it matters all that way matters, But I

614
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: don't know that matters all that much within the context

615
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: of what was accomplished last night. For Notre Dame, this

616
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: is a huge deal. I don't think maybe we will

617
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: fully understand it until history is able to look back

618
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: on it, because, like I said, with Florida beating Georgia,

619
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: it's all about what they do with it. What it's

620
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 1: all about what Brian Kelly and Notre Dame do with

621
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: this whim But Number one, now we know Clemson has

622
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: to get to the ACC title game, which they probably will.

623
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: Number two, it could be the case at this point

624
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: that Notre Dame sees themselves in a position where they

625
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: can afford to lose the ACC title game and still

626
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: make the playoff.

627
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: You never know.

628
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: Maybe Ohio State's in, maybe BAM is in, maybe Clemson's in.

629
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe there's room. Maybe we're comparing Texas A and

630
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: m A two loss, Florida a Notre Dame one loss.

631
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what we're doing.

632
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: You just got to make sure you win your games

633
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: and take care of business so that now instead of

634
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: there being one narrow path, Notre Dame's got a couple

635
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: of paths. When's the last time you said that about

636
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: the Irish. So congratulations to Brian Kelly and company. There.

637
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: We have so so many other Week ten takeaways. I

638
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: think it was back in August we did a segment.

639
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 1: I don't even think I had Colin clip it because

640
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: it was only like two two and a half minutes,

641
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: but I did a segment and I just floated a

642
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: theory that we were going to have working We always

643
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: have a certain number of working theories here on the

644
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: show for any given year, and for twenty twenty, given

645
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: that it was the COVID year, not a COVID year,

646
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: it's only been one of them. So the COVID year,

647
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: as Matthew McConaughey called it earlier in our interview with him,

648
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: these COVID nineteen times. Well, since it was these COVID

649
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: nineteen times, we floated what we were just going to.

650
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 2: Call the lost season theory. And the lost season.

651
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Theory was that, sure enough, COVID was proportionately affecting the

652
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: entirety of America, and so you were going to be

653
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: able to say, well, all the programs had to deal

654
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: with it, and not in a way is true, but

655
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's like a blanket the fact of the

656
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: matter is once we get into the season, and we

657
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: are here now, and once we're removed from the season

658
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: a few months from now, you're going to be able

659
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: to look back and inevitably COVID will have disproportionately impacted

660
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: some programs way more than others, maybe even in the

661
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: same division, in the same conference, way more than others.

662
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 1: And excuses are going to be made, and they're gonna

663
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: fall on deaf ears because again the retort will be, well,

664
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: everyone else had to deal with them.

665
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: That's true.

666
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: You just never know a million different minor impacts on

667
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 1: top of the major impacts that Kobe could have had

668
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: on a program. So my point is Penn State's dealing

669
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: with it right now, Michigan's probably dealing with it right now.

670
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: What do you say, what do you do you hold

671
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 1: those coaches and those teams to the normal standard? Or

672
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: do you internally or maybe even as a fan base,

673
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: do you understand and do you just kind of have

674
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:43,080
Speaker 1: an unwritten rule and in a magic head nod or

675
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: handshake with everyone that it just is what it is

676
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: this year? So let's talk about some games yesterday, because

677
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna circle back around to the two I mentioned

678
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: Arkansas beat Tennessee twenty four to thirteen. I don't know

679
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: how many of you watched this. Probably what you saw

680
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 1: as a halftime score of Tennessee up thirteen to nothing,

681
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: and then you see the final score.

682
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 2: Jared Garantano eventually landed.

683
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: If you're looking at the freeze frame column was showing

684
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: you there, and he was knocked out of the game afterwards.

685
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: So I want to start with Arkansas fans because I

686
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: love Arkansas fans. They show up, That's why I love them.

687
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: Last week, our best bet was against Arkansas. We took

688
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: A and M and Arkansas fans flooded the inbox and

689
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: they said, shame on.

690
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 2: You, you'll be proven wrong. Well we weren't.

691
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: We were proven right. But you know what they did

692
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: Sunday they showed up, every single one of them showed

693
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: up and said.

694
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 2: Well, I guess you were right. Okay, good game though.

695
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: Well then we took Tennessee, not as our best bet,

696
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: but we took Tennessee against Arkansas later in the week.

697
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: I even made it one of our featured plays. Come

698
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: yesterday morning and they came for me again. But this

699
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: time they were right. And so as long as you're

700
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,239
Speaker 1: there beforehand, and as long as you show up when

701
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: you're wrong, I am willing to stand here like like

702
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: Dwight Shrewd on an office desk and just wear the

703
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: necklace attached to a poster board that says, liar, I

704
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: lied about Arkansas yesterday. It turns out I lied about

705
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee yesterday too. So we did not have a padlock

706
00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: stat in this game. We had a padlock quarter, our

707
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: first ever padlock quarter. Colin watched it, painfully watched it yesterday.

708
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: He knew what I was talking about as soon as

709
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: I walked in the third quarter in this game was

710
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: unlike anything I think I've seen all year. I want

711
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: you to listen to this and keep in mind, this

712
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: is not a stat line that Alabama put on Tennessee.

713
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: This is a stat line Arkansas put on Tennessee. They

714
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: had in the third quarter alone, down thirteen to nothing.

715
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Arkansas had a two hundred and fifty

716
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 1: seven to sixteen total yards advantage. They had a six

717
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: of seven third down rate. Arkansas had ten first downs

718
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 1: in the third quarter alone. They had one hundred and

719
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,680
Speaker 1: seventy yards passing in eighty yards rushing in the third

720
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: quarter alone. They ran twenty eight plays to Tennessee's ten

721
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: plays in the third quarter alone. Arkansas ran off a

722
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: nine point two yard per play clip in the third quarter,

723
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee was one point six. And oh, by the way,

724
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: the most important stat, Arkansas outscores Tennessee twenty four to

725
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: nothing in the third quarter. And you may say, wait

726
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: a second, that can't be right. They only scored twenty

727
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: four in the whole game. That's right, friends, all twenty

728
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: four Arkansas points. The Piglets hung in one quarter of

729
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,959
Speaker 1: play yesterday. So now they're three and three officially, but

730
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: really they're four and two. You and I both know

731
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: that they have got a trip to Florida this week,

732
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: They've got LSU, they go to Missouri, and then they've

733
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: got Alabama. Congratulations to Arkansas. Now on the flip side

734
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: of that coin, it was very disheartening for you guys.

735
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: I know you Tennessee fans. I've heard from you already today.

736
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,480
Speaker 1: The offense is a mess, the quarterback situation is a mess.

737
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: We finally got to see Harrison Bailey yesterday. But yet,

738
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 1: if you were to have had the Tennessee headsets on,

739
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: you probably would have heard something along these lines Jim,

740
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: you can put him in the game, but if he

741
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: throws the ball, I'm a stab you in the neck

742
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: because that's exactly what happened. Harrison Bailey goes in the game,

743
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: handoff handoff, handoff, handoff. Oh, here's the best part. Then

744
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: we get to fourth down. Then we're gonna let him throw.

745
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: Here's the second best part. Then we're in a no timeouts,

746
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: hurry up situation where we've gotta have two scores and

747
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep the guy least equipped to run hurry

748
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 1: up in the game. We're not gonna play him anywhere else,

749
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: but we're gonna play him in the time of the

750
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: game he's truly least equipped to handle. So that was

751
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: brilliant because I mean, Arkansas played a blanket coverage and

752
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: just left a gap over the middle of the field,

753
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 1: basically doing everything but yelling across and saying throw it

754
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: to the middle of the field. And you know what

755
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: Harrison Bailey did, because he's about fourteen years old, he

756
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: threw it to in the middle of the field and

757
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: then tick tic tictick, And it felt like that happened

758
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: about ten times in a row. And like Budd Elliott said,

759
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: last night, Tennessee was on pace to tie that game

760
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 1: with about negative seven minutes left to go, and that

761
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:54,160
Speaker 1: pace never really sped up. So Bailey got in great.

762
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: The run to pass ratio yesterday, coming out of a

763
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: bye when we thought we may see a little bit

764
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: more offensive advance meant fifty to twenty one was the

765
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: run to pass ratio. By the time the third quarter

766
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: wrapped up, though, it was a thirty eight to ten

767
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: run to pass ratio. So what can we do with

768
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: this game? Well, I think for the season. You got

769
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,239
Speaker 1: to look at it eventually and you got to say

770
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: it's a throwaway season for Tennessee. They fall right in

771
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: line with kind of what you're seeing from Penn State,

772
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: what you're seeing from Michigan.

773
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 2: It's a throwaway season.

774
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,920
Speaker 1: But you better learn from it because I don't, unlike

775
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: some of you guys, I'm not even entertaining these Jeremy

776
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 1: Pruet hot seat talk. That's no, no, that's not even

777
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: on the back burner for me. You want to talk

778
00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: hot seat we are in second, but not for Jeremy Prewett.

779
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 1: But I will say this, they better learn some lessons

780
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,640
Speaker 1: because there is nothing they're doing right now that has

781
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,280
Speaker 1: a redeemable quality to it offensively moving forward, Speaking of which,

782
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: it is no longer October.

783
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 2: The calendar has turned and it is no when November.

784
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 1: In Columbia, South Carolina, the game Cocks were also coming

785
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: off of bye, so you figure to get a very

786
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: spirited BA against the wall effort. Yesterday forty eight to three.

787
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: They got bent over by Texas A and M forty

788
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,600
Speaker 1: eight to three. If you were to narrate this, I

789
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: mean you would narrate it and the narrator would lean

790
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: in and Morgan Freeman voice and say South Carolina was

791
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:15,959
Speaker 1: off a bye at the time of this game. Five

792
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty to one hundred and fifty yard a

793
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: j edge for the Aggies twenty six to nine first

794
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: down edge seven point four to two point eight yards

795
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,760
Speaker 1: per play edge. Totally different level of football being played

796
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 1: right now by Texas A and M. Some of you

797
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: will never be impressed when a good team does what

798
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: they're supposed to do to a bad team. But I

799
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: don't know how many more times you have to see

800
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: stuff like, for instance, Michigan yesterday getting smoked, or yesterday

801
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: Indiana or not in Indiana Maryland doing what they did

802
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: de penn stand. I don't know how many more times

803
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 1: people need to see that until you understand there is

804
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: a credit to be given for just taking care of business.

805
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: They're playing at a different level. They are very good.

806
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: Texas A and M is a very very good team.

807
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: Kellenmond another day with no turnovers, sixteen for twenty six,

808
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty four yards. I thought he played

809
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: the best game he's played of his career last week.

810
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: Played pretty good last night. So Texas A and M.

811
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: They got to go right back out on the road

812
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: to Tennessee again this weekend. It's going to be another

813
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 1: take care of your business type deal. They're favored by thirteen.

814
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: A lot of you think that numbers too low. They're

815
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 1: in a double do down spot. So I don't know

816
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: that we're going to touch it this week. But as

817
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: for Will must Champ, there were some rumors floating out

818
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: there today. Someone I don't know who it was, suggested

819
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: he's getting fired today.

820
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 2: I can pretty confidently tell you that's not happening.

821
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: I tweeted that out earlier at late kick, Josh, if

822
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 1: you're not already following me, But I don't argue with

823
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,280
Speaker 1: someone who would suggest it's inevitable at this point.

824
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: I think that our buddy J. C.

825
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: Sherbert over on the Big Spur pretty accurately described it

826
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 1: as the arrows are out, and that was due to

827
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: sourcing that he has very close to the program. So

828
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: I mean Sherbert's very close to South Carolina, a lot

829
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: closer than I am. Then they understand what's going on

830
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 1: over there. I just don't know that you look at

831
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: yesterday's result and the last thing you had seen before

832
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: that was the LSU game, So I don't know how

833
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: you look at these results and it even leaves a

834
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: doubt anymore. If these were competitive, it's one thing, But

835
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: I don't know where they're going. And like I told

836
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: you with mus Champ, must Champ long ago learned how

837
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: to handle a loss. And when I say handle it,

838
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: I mean sort of the pr tactic of make sure

839
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: not to run so they don't chase you. So he

840
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: gets in this post game yesterday and he does the

841
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: same old we got out coached out physical and great, okay,

842
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: but it's like the nineteenth time we've heard it in

843
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: the past two years.

844
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 2: So that's gotten a little old.

845
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,680
Speaker 1: I would lean heavily towards changes probably coming towards the

846
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: end of the year.

847
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:38,479
Speaker 2: There.

848
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: The only thing that is in line to maybe save

849
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: you is if they've just already made an internal decision.

850
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: We're not making a change no matter what. And I

851
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 1: don't know that that decision has been made there. I

852
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: think maybe leaning towards the opposite. Penn State got smoked

853
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: by Maryland yesterday. Maryland scored thirty five points against Penn State.

854
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: You tell me how this stat ever happens. Maryland and

855
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: Mike Loxley and baby Tua score thirty five against Penn State.

856
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: They never had a snap in the red zone, not one.

857
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,760
Speaker 1: That's how thoroughly toasted Penn State safeties were all day yesterday.

858
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,439
Speaker 1: This to me, I know he had an ugly one

859
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: early in his career, but I mean, you're several years

860
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: into your tenure now. I don't think you have a

861
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: worse loss in the James Franklin era than this one.

862
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: They were favored by twenty seven and a half. They

863
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: were four touchdown favored in this game yesterday. They never

864
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: had a shot. Maryland was up multiple scores the entire day.

865
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: So there's a harsh reality here. Circle right back to

866
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: what we talked about in August. Like I led the

867
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 1: segment with the lost season theory, it's just a lost season.

868
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 1: The reason I floated it back then was because I

869
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: wanted to remind you you gotta figure out ahead of

870
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: time how you choose to process this stuff, because if

871
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: someone's going to have a lost season, you almost have

872
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: to understand it needs to be isolated totally from the

873
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: rest of reality, Like twenty twenty has to be a

874
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: one season scenario in a vacuum that's not even connected

875
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: to twenty nineteen or twenty twenty one.

876
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: That is how I'm choosing to view Penn State. They're bad.

877
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they're horrible Offensively, they've regressed at quarterback, they've regressed.

878
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: They got a new coordinator in there. Nothing's taken root.

879
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 1: It's terrible. It's like planting seeds in a gravel parking lot.

880
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: Nothing's taken root. Having said that, it is truly like

881
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: beating a dead horse. I don't think this product's going

882
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: to get a whole lot better. I just don't think

883
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: this team's very good. And so I mean yesterday, John Dotson,

884
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 1: who is one of the few bright spots on this team,

885
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: afterwards was meeting with reporters, and this is a quote

886
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: from him. He said, we're not as one right now.

887
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,880
Speaker 1: We're not a unit. There's a lot of different things

888
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: going on that are distractions we shouldn't be focused on now.

889
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what in the world that means. I

890
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: have been privy to the inner working of college football

891
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: programs before enough to know there are a million things

892
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 1: that could be going on.

893
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: But that's a normal year. Tack on the.

894
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 1: Garbage that you've had to deal with with COVID, And

895
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: like I said, for whatever reason, some premier programs are

896
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: going to end up being disproportionately impacted relative to other ones.

897
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Penn State and Florida exist in the same world.

898
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: Yet I think it's pretty clear for whatever reason, COVID

899
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 1: has disproportionately impacted this team, and the external factors have

900
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 1: impacted them more than Florida. I can't tell you why

901
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: Florida had to cancel games because of this, So it's

902
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: not like they haven't been impacted. They've handled it better.

903
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: Penn State's just been ill equipped to handle it. And

904
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: if you want to judge James Franklin in his future

905
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: on that, that's fine, Like that's your business.

906
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: I just don't know that.

907
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a once in a generation situation

908
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: and his inability to handle it as a means to

909
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: question whether he's the guy from my program long term

910
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: when things are back to normal. So, I mean, they're

911
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: ozer and three right here. The dynamics the offense are

912
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: totally mia. They looked very lifeless yesterday. You would expect

913
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: a true backs against the wall, wounded animal mode, whatever

914
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 1: you want to call it. You got none of that.

915
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: But I'm not budget on James Franklin. Other coaches I am.

916
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm about to talk about one in a second, but

917
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm not going anywhere on him. So, like a lot

918
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:17,959
Speaker 1: of you were dming me, I just that's not where

919
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: I am on James Franklin. Maybe you make changes there.

920
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: I just don't know. The head coach is one of them.

921
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: It helped find a quarterback. Though Indiana beat Michigan thirty

922
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: eight twenty one. I was so in love with Michigan

923
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,880
Speaker 1: last week. Michigan minus three was one of our favorite

924
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: bets of the week. Never close. We're just wrong. We're

925
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: just dead wrong on it. It was stunning, it continues

926
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: to be stunning. How bad Michigan is at corner. The

927
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: defensive back play outside of Dax Hill, the defensive back

928
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: play on this team, especially at corner, is abysmal.

929
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: It's terrible.

930
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: I always mentioned hashtag Michigan Buddy, the Michigan Buddy or

931
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: buddies I have.

932
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 2: They were lighting up the phone last week.

933
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: They were saying, we, even against Michigan State, we cannot

934
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: play the d Don Brown wants to play because we

935
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,479
Speaker 1: don't have the talent or even anything comparable to talent

936
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: at corner in order to play this stuff. And he

937
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: puts his guys out on islands and they just get abused.

938
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: And yesterday they got abused again.

939
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 1: And I want to remind you this is not Ohio

940
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: State and Alabama they're getting abused against. They played Alabama

941
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: back in the Verbo Citrus Bowl. I was down there

942
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: for that, got the sunburned to show for it. Okay,

943
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy does that to you. That's one thing. Who

944
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,359
Speaker 1: in the world in this viewing audience outside of East

945
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: Lansing and Bloomington know the receiving units for Michigan State

946
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: or Indiana and no one knows. It's not disrespect, but

947
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: no one knows. And if you've watched this. It's not calculus,

948
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 1: it's just basic math. It's ABC's it's if you get

949
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:45,439
Speaker 1: in trouble.

950
00:42:45,480 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 2: Just throw the ball up.

951
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: That was it.

952
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: That was the strategy. Just throw the ball up.

953
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: You'll either catch it or I mean they'll they'll yank

954
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 1: your shirt off trying to prevent you from cashing it.

955
00:42:57,120 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 1: You'll get the PI and you get the first down.

956
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: That's as easy as it is to beat Michigan right now.

957
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: It's so embarrassing and kind of sad to watch. I

958
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: don't know how it gets to that point, but it's

959
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: at that point right now. So that combined with the

960
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: fact that in the year twenty twenty, Indiana is out

961
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 1: rushing Michigan one hundred and eighteen to thirteen, Like that's

962
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 1: an actual stat not after the first quarter. The whole

963
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: football game yesterday, Indiana out rushed Michigan one eighteen to thirteen,

964
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: missing a couple of offensive linemen. I know, tough, is

965
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: that the gap between you and Michigan? Like, are you

966
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 1: in Indiana? Is that what we're saying, Well, we're only

967
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: really two offensive linemen better than Indiana. No, no, no

968
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,799
Speaker 1: one's thought that before now, So Indiana is not a

969
00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: bad team that they beat Penn State, They've they've beaten Michigan.

970
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,320
Speaker 1: Now it's not a bad team. Think we understand what

971
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: the pecking order as supposed to be in the Big Ten. Well,

972
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: it's not that. So here we go back to the

973
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: inbox yesterday. I've got written right here. I'm not going

974
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: to read these quotes. There are too many of them.

975
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: But is Harbaugh done?

976
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: That's all anyone wants to go to after someone loses

977
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: a game, And I understand it. The difference is, most

978
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: of the time it's an outside observer. Well, this time

979
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: it's a bunch of Michigan fans suggesting it to me.

980
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 1: It's Harball done. It's Harball done. I don't know that.

981
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 1: Now his contract situation is a little bit different. They

982
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: haven't extended him.

983
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 2: I don't know.

984
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: Maybe this will be the first time in the history

985
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 1: of college football a contract is just allowed to expire

986
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: on its own. But he has a card left in

987
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: his back pocket to play. It's the Don Brown card.

988
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: So he could fire Don Brown theoretically, and you could say, well,

989
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,240
Speaker 1: defense has been our problem. I don't know who unless

990
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: you're hiring three corners to replace him. I don't know

991
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 1: how in the world the product's going to get a

992
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 1: lot better. But remember the reset philosophy that I gave

993
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,799
Speaker 1: you on Michigan, and the reason I've been hesitant to

994
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: buy into this hole this is Harball's last year or whatever,

995
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,840
Speaker 1: is because he at least has made a cognizant effort

996
00:44:45,960 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: to hit a reset button.

997
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: Offensively. It's not a microwave.

998
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 1: Okay, you don't pop the thing in in two minutes

999
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: later it comes out and you're hanging fifty five a game.

1000
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna take a while, but Jim Harbaugh has at

1001
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: the very least committed to changes offensively. Do they have

1002
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,800
Speaker 1: the right quarterback for it right now? Not, but that

1003
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: they have the wide receiver talent for it? Probably not,

1004
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,840
Speaker 1: but at least they're trying to work towards it. So

1005
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 1: I haven't necessarily been on board to the degree that

1006
00:45:08,680 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 1: a lot of you have with saying let's dump this guy.

1007
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: Having said that, would it shot me at the end

1008
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 1: of the year if he was gone by their choice

1009
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 1: or by mutual choice. No, it wouldn't shot me at all.

1010
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of energy you feel about that program.

1011
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 1: And that's it's noticeable. It's palpable. I'm not even around

1012
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: the program. Know some people who are, but I'm not

1013
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,040
Speaker 1: around the program. So it's I know we're in the

1014
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: weeds right now. We're in the weeds of the season.

1015
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 1: Everyone's emotional. That's why I tried to cover this in

1016
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: August before Toe met Leather, and I tried to ask

1017
00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: amongst ourselves, what are we going to think about this?

1018
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: How are we going to process this year? It's not

1019
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: a matter of if it is a certainty that they

1020
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: are going to be premier teams somewhere, don't know which conference,

1021
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: don't know which coach. Some of these teams are going

1022
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: to be terrible this year, and some of them are

1023
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 1: ranked top ten and Preview magazine right now. They're going

1024
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 1: to be terrible, and it's probably going to be in

1025
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: large part due to the unnatural feel of the season

1026
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 1: and all the ramifications.

1027
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 2: How are we going to handle it?

1028
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: You can't wait till you get in the season, because

1029
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:13,959
Speaker 1: once you get in the season, you don't think about

1030
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: this season any different than any other. So you hold

1031
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,879
Speaker 1: coaches to the same standard and you have the same

1032
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: expectation you do in a normal year. And if you

1033
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 1: do that, you got forty seven coaches getting fired out there.

1034
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you what it does. It translates right

1035
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: to my next topic to wrap the show up here.

1036
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: But that was a lot of what I saw this weekend,

1037
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: and we've got a schedule this upcoming week that allows

1038
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: me to go a little bit into greater detail about

1039
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: some of this, so you'll want to catch the Tuesday

1040
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: and Thursday shows in the meantime. One of my favorite

1041
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 1: movies growing up was Jaws. I had the movie poster

1042
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 1: on my wall and there's a scene in Jaws. A

1043
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of you have seen it where they want the

1044
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: beaches to be open for the fourth of July, and

1045
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: the mayor is imperative that we open these beaches for

1046
00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 1: the fourth of July. And so, hey, it's Amity Island.

1047
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: It's the fourth of July. Everybody comes to the beach,

1048
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: but no one wants to go in the water. Everyone's

1049
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: on the beach, everyone's got their sun tan lotion on

1050
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 1: their nose, but no one wants to go in and

1051
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: so he finally asks one of his buddies. The mayor says,

1052
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: why aren't you going in the water, And they're making excuses,

1053
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 1: but really they love the beach and they love the

1054
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: idea of going into the water. They're just scared to

1055
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 1: go in the water. And with that, I welcome you

1056
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: to the world of current athletic directors in college football.

1057
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: Everybody wants Hugh Freeze, well most of them. Most of

1058
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: them want Hugh Freeze. Hugh Freeze is seven and zero.

1059
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: He is at Liberty seven and oh they've got wins

1060
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:40,880
Speaker 1: at Syracuse. Yesterday they went to Virginia Tech as a

1061
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: seventeen point dog and beat the Hokies straight up. Hugh

1062
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: Freeze is the ocean in Jaws on the fourth of July.

1063
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: The difference is there is no shark in the water.

1064
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 1: A lot of what you think you need to be

1065
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: scared of, a lot of the risk you think is

1066
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: out there. And I'm talking to athletic directors right now.

1067
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: I know a few of you watched the show. I've

1068
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: heard from you before. Directly, you're in directly a lot

1069
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 1: of the threat that you think is out there. It's

1070
00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: just rewards. It's like the little kids who have a

1071
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: little cardboard fin and you think it's a shark.

1072
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: It's not man's it's foolishness.

1073
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: It's a few highbrow boosters who may be rubbed the

1074
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: wrong way. You know, it's a couple of negative headlines

1075
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: and a publication that no one really cares about anymore.

1076
00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,319
Speaker 1: That's the shark you're scared of. Well, think about the

1077
00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: reward that could be here.

1078
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 2: Read the room.

1079
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: In other words, is what I'm telling you. This dude's

1080
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: about to be a superstar again.

1081
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:29,240
Speaker 2: Somewhere.

1082
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: I say again, because this is the dude who gave

1083
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: Nick Saban fits twice in a row when he was

1084
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 1: at Old Miss. Fans at multiple programs are now clamoring

1085
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,799
Speaker 1: for Hugh Freeze.

1086
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,320
Speaker 2: That's how I know it's an inevitability. This is coming.

1087
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: I don't know how many message boards I served yesterday

1088
00:48:45,480 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: and I saw topic after topic of Hugh Freeze. Can

1089
00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: we get Hugh Freeze? What about Hugh Freeze? It's everywhere.

1090
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 1: Fans want it. A lot of folks internally want it.

1091
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,480
Speaker 1: They just don't want to vocalize it yet because they're

1092
00:48:57,480 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: scared again of the almighty negative headline. Headlines, by the way,

1093
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: still kill zero points zero zero people per year. Kind

1094
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: of like ghosts. A lot of people are scared of

1095
00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: ghost the next person. A ghost kills me the first person.

1096
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: So headlines my goodness. But if we can get past

1097
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: the sharp teeth of those headlines, he's coming. I don't

1098
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,280
Speaker 1: know where he's coming, but he's coming. So here's the question.

1099
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: I just encourage you guys to ask. You're not paying

1100
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,319
Speaker 1: me a consultation fee, but I'm doing this. I'm doing

1101
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 1: the legwork for you. Number one, can he win? And

1102
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: can he recruit? Can he build? Answer emphatically yes. Number two?

1103
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: Can he win long term? I think the answer there

1104
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,360
Speaker 1: is yes. Number three does he have unestablished track record?

1105
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 2: Yes? He does?

1106
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: And number four forget about the stigmas. Kay Lane Kiffin

1107
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: just got a job at all, miss forget about stigmas.

1108
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Are there any current NCAA violations or problems hanging over

1109
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,959
Speaker 1: his head? If the answer there is yes, yes, yes,

1110
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 1: and no, grab your stamp and put your team's logo

1111
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,920
Speaker 1: on Hugh Freeze's forehead. A few negative headlines are not

1112
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: a risk high brow academics here and there who are

1113
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: turned off by what it does to the veneer of

1114
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,160
Speaker 1: your program, they'll be silenced the first time you win

1115
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: a game. And that's the only risk you're really running,

1116
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: because if you think this dude's about to get embroiled,

1117
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: in another NCAA scandal or another off the field scandal.

1118
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: If given a second chance at a high profile program,

1119
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,399
Speaker 1: you're crazy. He'll probably be in bed by eight point

1120
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 1: thirty every night. Either hire him now or lose to

1121
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: him down the road. That's my fair warning about Hugh Freeze.

1122
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: That guy's about to get a major job. There's going

1123
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: to be a big market there already is for him.

1124
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 1: Take my advice, hire him now or lose to him

1125
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: down the road. Hugh Freeze paid me zero dollars to

1126
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 1: say that. Where do we want to go here? Colin,

1127
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what to wrap it up. Let's go

1128
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: back to the Roman Noodle Express. The Raman Noodle Express

1129
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: was three and four yesterday. By the way, I know

1130
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: some of you were watching the.

1131
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: Texas Tech game yesterday. It wasn't the Texas Tech game.

1132
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 1: It was the Tea game. You don't deserve to have

1133
00:51:01,360 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: a game named after you when with three timeouts and

1134
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,640
Speaker 1: two minutes and forty five seconds left to go in regulation,

1135
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:12,280
Speaker 1: down nine inside your opponent's thirty yard line on second down,

1136
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: you choose to kick a field goal. Because that's what

1137
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: Texas Tech did yesterday. I want to run this situation

1138
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,160
Speaker 1: by you again. Texas Tech is down nine. We have

1139
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: them plus nine and a half. They're down nine. We're good, Okay,

1140
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 1: we're fine. How in the world we lost?

1141
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: This is beyond me.

1142
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: We're down nine and there are two minutes forty five

1143
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: seconds left. We have all three timeouts, and we're driving

1144
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: on TCU and we get down inside the thirty yard

1145
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: line and it's second down, and clock is stopped by

1146
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 1: the way, and we kick a field goal and we

1147
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: miss it.

1148
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 2: We missed the thirty nine yard field goal.

1149
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: And afterwards Max Duggan takes the ball in houses at

1150
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: eighty something yards, so that's ballgame.

1151
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 2: We lose the spread and we lose.

1152
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: The game, of course, and afterwards I'm not even mentioning names.

1153
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: I'm too aggravated to you right now. But I'm told

1154
00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 1: in the head coaching postgame press conference, well, that was

1155
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: the right thing to do because we needed a touchdown

1156
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,439
Speaker 1: and a field goal to win. And so I looked

1157
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: up the rules, and as it turns out, if you

1158
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 1: go with a couple of more passes, if they fall

1159
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: in complete, the clock stops, so you don't lose much time.

1160
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 1: If you get a first down, the clock stops momentarily

1161
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 1: and you're next to the end zone at that point anyway,

1162
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: But did you also know that if you're down nine

1163
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: and you score a touchdown and then another touchdown, you win.

1164
00:52:28,200 --> 00:52:30,399
Speaker 1: Did you know or did you know that you could

1165
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 1: score the touchdown and then get in field goal range

1166
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: to end the game if you get the on sidekick,

1167
00:52:35,840 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: or or maybe even if you use your timeouts and

1168
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,840
Speaker 1: stop them on defense the following possession.

1169
00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:40,919
Speaker 2: Did you know that works out?

1170
00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: Too? So some of the worst game management I've ever

1171
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: seen a Texas Tech. But it's not like I'm sore

1172
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 1: about it or anything. Please don't misunderstand me. Having said that,

1173
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: we move on. We're still fifty eight percent against the

1174
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: number this year, so we're doing very very well. We

1175
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: are jumping on West Virginia minus three. This is a

1176
00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: noon kickoff this Saturday. They are playing TC. You that's

1177
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: the same team that burned us yesterday. Actually I didn't

1178
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,879
Speaker 1: think about that, so they didn't burn us. The team

1179
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,879
Speaker 1: we took burned us. So we're taking West Virginia minus three.

1180
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,239
Speaker 1: That is our early best bet. Strongly encourage you. Oh

1181
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: we're fifty nine percent, We're not fifty eight percent. Oh,

1182
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: slap myself on the rist for that. I strongly encourage

1183
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: you to follow me on Twitter. I hand out several

1184
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: actually four out of our six. Last week I ended

1185
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: up handing out on Twitter and not live on the

1186
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: show at Late Kick, Josh. We also had a game

1187
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: canceled last week, so I had to hand out a new.

1188
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:30,399
Speaker 2: One because of that.

1189
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: So next sure you follow me there for that and

1190
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: a lot of other fun that we have on there

1191
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,440
