70
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: He's Dan. This is a Soliverble college football podcast. We've

71
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: been doing conference previews all throughout the last couple weeks.

72
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: Thus far, we've covered the ACC, We've covered the Big Ten,

73
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: we've covered the SEC, and today we push into our

74
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: fourth Power five conference, that of course being the Big Twelve. Now,

75
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 2: the Big Twelve is a little different than the other

76
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 2: four conferences and that there are no divisions, so and.

77
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: I had correct, we had to break it up. There

78
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: are ten teams.

79
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 2: I have five, you have five. Today we're going to

80
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: be doing the Texas schools plus Iowa State.

81
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: Yes, I guess we also did that with the American

82
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: As no more divisions, so it's not our first time

83
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: doing this, but yes to the Texas schools Iowa State. Yeah,

84
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: that checks out. So the Big Twelve is on the docket.

85
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: I would also encourage everyone to go on out to

86
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: the website soliverbal dot com. Our writers been doing a

87
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: fabulous job posting all sorts of fun content, whether it's

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 2: stats based, whether it's schedule based, whether it's tongue in

89
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: cheek and a zoomed out view that Bradley does on Fridays.

90
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: Please go on out and click on articles to see

91
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: what the latest and greatest is in.

92
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: The verbawler hood. Okay, yes, we also, by the way,

93
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: have Conference USA WES today. Where do we want to start? First?

94
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: Let's start at the biggest school I guess on your

95
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: Let's start with TCU, A.

96
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: Knife in my chest going TCU right out of the choot.

97
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: No, No, let's start Texas. They hired a new coach,

98
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: obviously there in the news. I don't think we are

99
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: prepared to talk about the conference as a whole right now,

100
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: because there's still so much left to be determined with

101
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: regard to Texas and Oklahoma leaving for the SEC and

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: where the remaining schools end up, and what happens with

103
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: the Big twelve in general. We're here to focus on

104
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty one season, and I think of these schools,

105
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: Iowa State is the most obviously promising. Texas with the

106
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: hire of a new coach and the expectations thereof is

107
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: perhaps the biggest narrative type story. It's up to you, ty,

108
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: whoever is sort of making the hairs rise on your

109
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: arms is where we're going to stay. Take in the hairs,

110
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: Rise on my arm, We'll keep you. Let's start.

111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: Let's start with Texas because Texas has been I think

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 2: the biggest talking point, certainly the strongest narrative all throughout

113
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: the offseason. Before we do that, though, again just a

114
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: bit of housekeeping, how we are approaching all of our

115
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: previews if you're just listening for the first time, we're

116
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: taking a four part approach to each team, at least

117
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 2: each team in the Power five. The first thing is

118
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: what happened last year, Let's take a look back. The

119
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: second thing is what's the curb appeal? We got more

120
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 2: of like a road theme here, car themed approach this year,

121
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 2: But what's the curb appeal? What is it that you're

122
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: interested in? What is it that you should be interested

123
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: in going into the season? Third, what is the road ahead?

124
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: What's the schedule? True? And finally, what's in the tank?

125
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: When I get to play sound I can get seventy

126
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: miles to the gallon on this hog.

127
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 2: What's in the tank? What does Vegas have to say

128
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 2: about this team? And what do we think is a

129
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 2: realistic expectation for how things shake out in the twenty

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: twenty one football season.

131
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm ready to roll. I have a lot of curiosities

132
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,160
Speaker 1: and questions for you about these five schools. Texas went

133
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: seven and three last year.

134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 2: They lost close to TCU, to Oklahoma in a couple overtimes,

135
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: and then Iowa stayed a game in which they did

136
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: not trail until the last one minute and forty four

137
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:35,799
Speaker 2: seconds of the game.

138
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: I remember that game very clearly.

139
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think it's worth underscoring worth emphasizing that

140
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: this was not a bad team. They just weren't good

141
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 2: enough to get over that hump, to find that extra

142
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,799
Speaker 2: gear and ultimately to retain Tom Herman. It always felt

143
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 2: like we were waiting for them to find that next level,

144
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 2: and that's kind of been the case ever since I

145
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 2: guess mac Brown left or shortly before mack Brown left.

146
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 2: We knew that there was a ton of potential in

147
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: Texas because there are a million built in advantages. It's

148
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: a very rich athletic program, to say the least. But

149
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: to find that next level has really been the Unicorn

150
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 2: seven to three despite the close losses. You know, we

151
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: could talk a little bit about what Texas's identity was

152
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 2: as a football program under Tom Herman, but we'll get there.

153
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: The point here is they didn't find that next level.

154
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: They decided to go a different direction. And that new

155
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: direction is going to be Steve Sarkasian who comes over

156
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: from Alabama. We'll talk about what I think he brings

157
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: to the equation. What I'm hopeful that they can get

158
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: away from is how many times do we talk on

159
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 2: this show about Texas building the entire plane out of

160
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: Sam Ellinger?

161
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: A lot, a lot of shallow crosses, a lot of

162
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: you take the good, you take the bad, long time start.

163
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: And at one point I think I used the terminology

164
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty and opted out of having strong thoughts

165
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: about Texas football because the losses seemed the same and

166
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: the wins seemed the same. I think that's exactly right.

167
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: And so from Afar, it felt like everything ran through Ellinger.

168
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: And he was a good college quarterback. He had a

169
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: lot of heart, He was an easy guy to root for,

170
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: but they just relied way too much on him. Everybody

171
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: wanted to see more of Bejon Robinson, who said a

172
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: school record with eight point two yards per carry, went

173
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: over one hundred yards and three of the last four games.

174
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: Perhaps if he would have gotten the ball more, it

175
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: would have been a bit of a different story for

176
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: Tom Herman that did not come to fruition. But Bijon

177
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: Robinson is going to be a talking point as we

178
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,079
Speaker 1: move forward into twenty twenty one. Defensively, you know, like

179
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: they weren't great at stopping the past, they weren't great

180
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: at generating pressure. They really weren't great at tackling, which

181
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: is kind of a problem for a defense. Bill Connolly

182
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 1: greated them one hundred and sixteenth in the nation when

183
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: it came to tackling, and that was with some really

184
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: talented guys like Joseph Osige, Why Mitchell, Caden Sterns, etc. Etc. Etc.

185
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: So again, the problem for Texas is not a talent thing.

186
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: The problem for Texas is an organization thing and an

187
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: identity thing. And so now enter new coach Steve Sarkisian.

188
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,719
Speaker 2: At the time they hired Sarkisian, I remember because I

189
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: actually went back and listened to some of what we

190
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 2: said about it was I was not all that excited

191
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: about the Sarcusian higher. It didn't feel like it had

192
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 2: enough sex appeal to me. And I don't know why

193
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 2: that is, because Sarcasian is a big name. He comes

194
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: over from Bama. He's obviously gotten plenty of head coaching

195
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: experience in his times with Washington and USC and now

196
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: most recently at the highest levels of being an assistant

197
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: under Nick Saban. But for my money, it didn't feel

198
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 2: like firing Tom Herman to get Steve Sarkashan was a

199
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 2: great move. I feel like I've kind of come around

200
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 2: on that, and it could be because of the YouTube

201
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: clips that you sent me with Steve Sarkisian explaining how

202
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: he coaches to other coach.

203
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. Sure, and that's that's not

204
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: his job right now. Even though he is in charge

205
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: of the offense. His job is much His job's much

206
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 1: bigger in scope than that.

207
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 2: I just I feel like, with the benefit of some research,

208
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 2: with the benefit of added reading, I have come around

209
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 2: in that circusian higher. I think it was a good move.

210
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 2: I love the fact that he's using the all gas,

211
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 2: no brakes hashtag on Twitter because that's the thing that

212
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: we've said, yep for the last couple of years. I

213
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: ran my mouth what a month ago now about being

214
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: all in on Texas. I think I'm past the point

215
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: of no return. So here is the case for Texas. Okay,

216
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 2: The case for Texas is this, and it's it's always

217
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 2: hard with them because you have to temper the talent

218
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: and the built in advantages with in this case the

219
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: fact that they they've got a new coach coming in.

220
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 2: But I'm excited to him coming over from Alabama because

221
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: everybody wants to be Alabama right now. And he put

222
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: a really solid coaching staff together. It's clear that he

223
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: understands what he needs. I'm not going to go through everyone,

224
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: but bringing over Kyle Flood to coach up the offensive

225
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 2: line to help coach on the offense, that was a

226
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: big deal. He also got Pete Kwakowski for Washington to

227
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: run the defense. He mixes in a whole bunch of

228
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 2: different fronts. He is a track record for putting together

229
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: really good red zone defenses. Both these guys have a

230
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: track record for putting forth units that play hard. And

231
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: I think that's worth getting excited about. Not that Texas

232
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 2: was dogging it last year, but if you're installing a

233
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: new culture, that's you got to start there. And the

234
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 2: other thing I think worth noting is that it's not

235
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 2: like the cupboard is bear. The second big reason to

236
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 2: be excited here is that he's got a veteran team

237
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 2: Sark does with fifteen starters back, eight on one side

238
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: of the ball on offense, seven on the other. I

239
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 2: have to believe that the first order of business is

240
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: going to be game planning. How to get Bejean Robinson

241
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 2: the ball more. Heaven knows why Tom Herman didn't. I

242
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 2: don't know if anyone's asked him. I have looked, but

243
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 2: this is an offensive line that's got four guys back. Ideally,

244
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: Kyle Flood is building around that line and hopefully pulling

245
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 2: a reverse Elinger in that he's not asking the quarterback

246
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 2: to win all the games for him. He's going to

247
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: be a little bit more reliant on I think one

248
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: of the elite backs in college football. So I'm excited

249
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 2: about those two things. Those two things, first and foremost,

250
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: the coaching staff gives me a lot of confidence, and

251
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 2: also the returning pool of talent. It's Texas. How could

252
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: you not be excited about that? So you know that said,

253
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 2: there are questions here. I think it's Casey Thompson at quarterback.

254
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: It could be cuts and card, but I think it's

255
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 2: Casey Thompson. He was really good in limited action last year,

256
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 2: had or six touchdowns, excuse me to no interceptions, probably

257
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: the favorite. Sark hasn't said yet which direction he's going

258
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: to go, but that's going to be a spot to watch.

259
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 2: The other thing is defensively, they've only got two starters

260
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: back up front, but there is a lot of depth,

261
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: a lot of depth with experience. I'm pretty pumped about

262
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: Alfred Collins. He's six' five three h. FIVE i propose

263
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: we call him Big Al.

264
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: Happily.

265
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 2: Happily i've always wanted to call somebody Big al on this,

266
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 2: show and we've never had that. OPPORTUNITY i think this

267
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 2: is the. One, okay Big Al. Collins so here's my.

268
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 2: Thing my thing is That sark enters into this situation

269
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: with a unique opportunity, TO i, think work with talent

270
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: that's already, there to very quickly come in and establish an.

271
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 2: IDENTITY i don't, THINK i don't hope that it's going

272
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: to take long for him to do. THAT i think

273
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 2: we will start to see some immediate, returns but we

274
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: just have to be mindful of the fact that these

275
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: things often do not click right. Away despite all the,

276
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: talent it sometimes takes a while to. Click when it,

277
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: does it can be, great but we need to at

278
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: least give him enough wiggle room that if he doesn't

279
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: go down To austin to start winning right, away that's.

280
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 2: Okay that's like we need to give ourselves the permission

281
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: structure to just accept That.

282
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: Dan but it almost seems like with who's returning right

283
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: so you have at least a couple Quarterbacks Casey thompson

284
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: And Hudson card that came in with that blue chip

285
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: pedigree that you, KNOW i remember seeing pieces About Hudson

286
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: card and his arm talent and can make all the

287
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: throws and as somebody who can throw off, platform all

288
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: this you, know lofty, comparisons And Casey thompson is older

289
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: and more. Seasoned we saw his performance in the bowl,

290
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: GAME i believe Against, colorado just absolutely shredding the. Buffs

291
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: which It's, Colorado it's. Okay and so whoever it, is

292
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: they have experience as a college. Quarterback they're not being

293
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: asked as a true freshman to come in and immediately.

294
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: Dominate but the pieces around with the experience along the offensive,

295
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: line with the receivers who are healthier and Be Jean

296
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: robinson of, course and a defense that should more than

297
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: hold their own it's almost like this year might be really,

298
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: good and then it might change next year in the

299
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: year after when it's fewer inherited. Players, right this is

300
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: an ideal. Situation aside from you, know obvious game. Breakers

301
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: there are potential game breakers at, receiver but that he

302
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: doesn't inherit like a thousand yard receiver, Immediately so you

303
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: could see good early returns and then a second chapter

304
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: kind of thing as. Well it.

305
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: Happens and, LOOK i, think despite the fact that most

306
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 2: of the attention is going to be on the, Offense

307
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: i'm really curious to see what happens on the defensive

308
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 2: side of the ball Because texas the tackling thing should

309
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: be obvious as a defensive, unit but if they weren't

310
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: good at doing the, fundamentals it's going to make everything else.

311
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: Harder they do have depth up. Front Demarvin overshown is

312
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: healthy at. Linebacker he's going to anchor good linebacking. Corps

313
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 2: both corners are back in the, secondary so there's a

314
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: lot to work. With really has a lot to work,

315
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: with AND i think there could be some good early.

316
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 2: Returns that, said this is not an easy. Schedule it

317
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: is not an easy. Schedule it's eleventh most difficult in the.

318
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 2: Country they open Against, louisiana Which i've talked about a

319
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: couple shows. Ago, NOW i don't think that's a picnic

320
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: week one against a really veteran team that's got a strong.

321
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: Identity mm.

322
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 2: Hmm they should beat, them but don't sleep On. Louisiana

323
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: just saying.

324
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: That follows they Beat Iowa state last Year state last.

325
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: Year.

326
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah.

327
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah they follow that one up a road game Against.

328
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 2: Arkansas then they've got a three week stretch beginning at

329
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: the beginning Of october where they go.

330
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: To glossing over At. ARKANSAS i am glossing over at.

331
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: OURS i think that's a crazy losable. Game, continue, well

332
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: then there's two. Games then there's two games right in

333
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: a road that are weirdly. Losable they follow that up

334
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: AT tcu home against well neutral site excused, me Against

335
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: oklahoma and then home Against Oklahoma state on three consecutive,

336
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: weeks and then there's a huge game later in the

337
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: year on the road At Iowa. State so this is

338
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: not easy for.

339
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 2: Sark in year, One vegas has the number at eight

340
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: and most folks are hitting the under WHICH i THINK i.

341
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: Understand, YEAH i could SEE i, mean by the way

342
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned At Iowa, state it's a week after they

343
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: play At, baylor WHO i think should be improved as.

344
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: Well So i'm just in terms of, streakiness, right, well

345
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: we'll get To, baylor but we'll get To baylor. Whatever

346
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: But i'm Saying baylor is not a nothing. Program it's

347
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 1: not a nothing. Team it's not a. Walkover don't even

348
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: mention them kind of. Programs so two straight road games

349
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: against legit programs is. Something and then so they have

350
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: last year they win in a losing effort Against Oklahoma,

351
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 1: state and they have that a week after The Cotton

352
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: bowl game AGAINST. Ou they've lost a bunch TO tcu

353
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 1: and they go on the. Road right it's In Fort

354
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: worth this. Year SO i think they're three and seven

355
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: in the last decade and got run all. Over you

356
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,880
Speaker 1: mentioned the tackling issues that was maybe never more clear

357
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,479
Speaker 1: than AGAINST tcu on the ground last year in that.

358
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: Loss so, no it's it's entirely tricky this, schedule just

359
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: especially in terms of the teams that they play consecutively

360
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: with no buffer type situations later in the. Season it's

361
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: a little you, KNOW i think At West virginia is

362
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: going to be extremely, tough it should be another Good mountaineer,

363
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: defense And Kansas state should be. Healthier so, No texas

364
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: is going to need to be on its a game

365
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: almost immediately with this.

366
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 2: Schedule from a raw talent, standpoint the only team in

367
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 2: the schedule that is significantly better Is, oklahoma and that's the.

368
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: Rivalry SO i say that because If sark can get

369
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: things better organized, quickly they could get to nine and.

370
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: Three the team is good enough to get to nine and,

371
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: three it's good enough to do better than, that, frankly

372
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: BUT i just think it's too much to ask with

373
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 2: a new coach coming, in even though it's been more

374
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 2: of a normal.

375
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: Offseason i'll give them nine to.

376
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: Three i'm excited to see What sark can, do but

377
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: too many questions for me to go much higher than.

378
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 2: THAT i would go over, eight THOUGH i would go over.

379
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: Eight, yeah and it was still A louisiana team that

380
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 1: got pushed around some on the ground last. Year son

381
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,400
Speaker 1: deal opener for The texas ground game and ground attack

382
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: in that they won't be necessarily comparable talent wise. Upfront

383
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: What texas is offering or should. Offer let's go over TO.

384
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: Tcu Dan all, Right, wow ahead Of Iowa state in

385
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: terms of your headline. Importance, hey well you mentioned you're

386
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: talking ABOUT. Tcu let's GO tcu six and. Four last,

387
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: year our good friend of the, Podcast Ari, wasserman actually

388
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: wrote the preview For The, athletic AND i thought his

389
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 1: summary of What Max dugan had to deal with at

390
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 1: the start of last season put a lot in. Perspective,

391
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: honestly you'll recall he needed a procedure on his heart

392
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: before the, year wasn't cleared until first or second week

393
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 1: of the. Season, naturally he was out of sync with

394
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: his wide outs because he was just on the. Shelf

395
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: there's no spring practice because OF. COVID i come back

396
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: to WHAT i said a few times over now with

397
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: respect to teams Like Florida, State what the hell did

398
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: we think was going to happen? Here what did we

399
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 1: think was going to happen with this scenario For Max

400
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: duggan in what? Way there was just so much working against?

401
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: Him oh, yeah a ton of, chaos so much working against.

402
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: Him that, said and an important caveat what we saw

403
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: FROM tcu wasn't all that, surprising just from the standpoint

404
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: of they sort of did what they've always, done or

405
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: at least what they've done. Recently the defense was, great

406
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: gave a ton of big, plays and the offense was very,

407
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: talented but inefficient and very. Frustrating that's sort of been

408
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: the trend and the appeal frankly for the last couple

409
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: of seasons FOR, tcu because you can see the talent

410
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: and you can feel that if there is better, organization

411
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: a better, IDENTITY i don't, know that extra gear maybe

412
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: THAT i was referring to With, texas you know that

413
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: they can be so much better than they. ARE tcu

414
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: has been in this position where they're out, there we

415
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: talk about the names in the, preseason we've got reason

416
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: to be, excited and for some, reason they always fall

417
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: a little bit short of. That SO i don't know

418
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 1: if last year was a blip on the. RADAR i

419
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: don't know if last year was just another data point

420
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: along this, trend but it was a bit. Disappointing it

421
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: was a bit, disappointing not without context for. Sure but

422
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: we're going to go into this season now hoping for

423
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: the same. Things we're going to hope that the offense

424
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: finds a way to get, better and there have been

425
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: some changes there we're going to go into this season

426
00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: hoping that the defense can again remain. Solid the defense

427
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 1: was really good last. Year it was another year of

428
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,640
Speaker 1: just the defense being let down by the other side

429
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: of big. Plays dan a lot of big. Plays it's

430
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: almost by, design not that to give up big, plays

431
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: but just because it's such a communication based defense that

432
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: you know when you're passing off guys in the secondary or,

433
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: whatever there are going to be some. Lapses but, overall

434
00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: when you look at their, season the disappointment from last

435
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: year was not because of the. Defense it was not

436
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: because of the. Defense, no it was again and it's

437
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: mostly been because of the offense for. Sure by the,

438
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 1: way just a number of discrepancy just along that before

439
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,439
Speaker 1: you continue along on your information, JOURNEY a NUMBER i

440
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: love to look at just in terms of a team's

441
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: rhythm and how a rhythmic a defense can make an opposing.

442
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: OFFENSE tcu finished ninetieth in the country at three and

443
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: out percentage in that they were terrible about staying on

444
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: the field and moving the. Chains on, defense they were

445
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: third third nationally at getting off the field, defensively and

446
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: so that type of discrepancy where like you're just keeping

447
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: opposing offense is fully out of. Rhythm but your own

448
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: offense just couldn't stay on the. Field that's the letdown to,

449
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: me because, no you look at the. Losses be it

450
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 1: what was At West virginia where they scored six, Points

451
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 1: oklahoma they scored. Fourteen and Now oklahoma's defense got really,

452
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: good and we'll talk about that next. Episode they got

453
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: really good for long stretches last. Year but The Kansas

454
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 1: state fourteen points and then The Iowa, STATE i mean

455
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: that Was week, one And i'm willing to forgive, anything

456
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: and they actually scored in that, game but those low,

457
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: SCORES i, mean the defense gave those those frog weeks

458
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: every chance in the. World.

459
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, well and so THAT'S i come back to the previous. Point,

460
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 2: now one of the questions about twenty twenty THAT i

461
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 2: think we can only answer after twenty twenty one is

462
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 2: whether or NOT tcu would have bucked that trend if

463
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,199
Speaker 2: not for. CIRCUMSTANCES i don't. Know we won't know until this.

464
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: Year but here's where we're. At now here's the appeal for.

465
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 2: Me the appeal is, this the offensive coordinator is now

466
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 2: Only Doug. Meachim the new old offensive coordinator Is Doug

467
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: Meetchim Sunny comby one.

468
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: Elsewhere we'll talk.

469
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 2: About him on the next year that we, do but

470
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 2: how he assembles the parts is going to be particularly,

471
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: interesting AND i THINK i think that's one reason to get.

472
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: Excited because he's got a good wide receiving corps that

473
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: can stretch the field or can play physically if they have.

474
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: To the ingredients are there for a really fun. Offense

475
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: another year With Max, duggan hopefully a normal offseason And

476
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 2: Zach evans at running. Back Zach evans had seven point

477
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 2: seven per carry last. Year he's the biggest recruit THAT

478
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 2: tcu has ever. Landed so you couple all that WITH

479
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 2: i think a pretty good line that should keep everybody

480
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 2: safe and, upright and the ingredients are there for an.

481
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 2: Offense it really is just a matter of. Organization he

482
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: has to organize this. OFFENSE i feel good About Max

483
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: duggan this. YEAR i feel Like i've said that the

484
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: last two years, now but last year, was you, know,

485
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 2: circumstances and he had the heart. Thing it took a

486
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: while to get tick in and get on schedule with his.

487
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: Wideouts but with the benefit of a much, much much

488
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 2: much more normal off, SEASON i feel really good about

489
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: What Max duggin can. Do he's a big kid. Man

490
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: he's a big, kid he's, strong he's a pure dual threat.

491
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: GUY i really like.

492
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 2: HIM i think that he's due for a big, year

493
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: especially by having that running back compliment In Zach.

494
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: Evans, YEAH i just think you're you're getting Two Max,

495
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: Duggins max Doug eye throughout the course of a of

496
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: a lot of his time, there where you're Getting West

497
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: Virginia max Dugg, in Getting Texas Tech max Dugg in

498
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: from last year where he just looks lost and, Inaccurate

499
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: and you know part of it IS tcu just doesn't

500
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: have those what DO i call him problem? Problems like

501
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: where IS tcu stressing out defenses out? Wide they've lost

502
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: dudes to, Transfer like that's the big. Thing and we've

503
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: talked about this across the, Sport like what IS tcu

504
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 1: doing on offense to keep defenses? Honest that to me

505
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: is the huge.

506
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 2: Question, defensively it's a line led By o'shawn mathis everybody's.

507
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: Back they're strongest. Upfront the farther you go, back the

508
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 2: more questions you. Have but they're going to be. Fine

509
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 2: the defense will be the. Defense the defense will again

510
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 2: carry the load here for the offense AS i think

511
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: it is trying to figure itself. Out that's just what

512
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 2: they do Under Gary. Patterson hopefully they can break the

513
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 2: trend of giving up monster. Plays the monster plays are

514
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 2: a huge. Backbreaker they've done that at least the last two.

515
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: Years now they need to get better in that, Department

516
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: so we'll. SEE i feel optimistic ABOUT, tcu AS i

517
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: do every year always in. Forever the schedule is very. Workable,

518
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 2: yeah Do Cane cal AND smu in the non CONFERENCE

519
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: smu should be pretty. Good but otherwise that's. Workable it's.

520
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 2: Doable the schedule is spaced out really. Well there aren'tny gauntlets.

521
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 2: Here they're home Against, texas a great. Letdown look Ahead.

522
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: SANDWICH i believe right In, lubbock in Between texas And.

523
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: Oklahoma wooh ooh The Lubbock. Sando, Yeah tech could be

524
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 2: dangerous this year and we'll get to them sure home Against.

525
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:00,520
Speaker 2: Texas they've got The sandwich game Against tech a way Against.

526
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: Oklahoma they've Got Oklahoma state And Iowa state a little

527
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,840
Speaker 2: bit later in the, year so.

528
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: You know that they.

529
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: Play everybody in The big twelve is as all the teams.

530
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 2: Do BUT i think it's spaced out really, well provided

531
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 2: they can get their ducks in a.

532
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: Row.

533
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: HERE i go over seven and a, half which is

534
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 2: What vegas has to. SAY i don't know how much.

535
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: OVER i think eight or nine is probably a likely

536
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 2: expectation for the Horn. Frogs but, look everything's, There everything is.

537
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: There this is a very very experienced, team and you

538
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 2: have to feel good, about you, know bringing the band

539
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 2: back together.

540
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: Here it's a tough road. SLATE i would say it's

541
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: At Iowa, state At Oklahoma, state At Kansas, state At.

542
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma i'm just saying in terms of the home road,

543
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 1: splits those all seem like especially difficult situational. Plays i'd

544
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 1: rather be At kansas At baylor and they're At tech

545
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: and that's going to be. Difficult BUT i just timing,

546
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: wise it's it's not, ideal especially with the back. End

547
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: back end meaning From oklahoma, on we'll. See, yeah, WELL

548
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: i definitely think experience, wise experience at quarterback plus what

549
00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 1: should be another good. DEFENSE i think their starting point

550
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 1: is is not. Bad, no, no it.

551
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 2: ISN'T i what's interesting ABOUT, tcu as With Oklahoma, state

552
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 2: as With West, virginia K, state Even baylor In tech

553
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,719
Speaker 2: to some, extent even Throw texas in. There there is

554
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 2: a very clear upper echelon in The big twelve this

555
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 2: year in the form Of oklahoma And Iowa, State and

556
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 2: there's a really meaty like other six, teams seven, teams

557
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 2: basically everyone outside Of, kansas where there's an acc quality

558
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 2: to it where we're going to talk about these teams

559
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: week in and week. Out we're not going to remember

560
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 2: who played, whom and they're going to be knocking each

561
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: other off on a weekly. Basis so That's, Texas Oklahoma, STATE,

562
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: Tcu West, virginia K S, Date, Baylor Texas.

563
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: TECH i, mean it's essentially it's everybody Above. Kansas everybody

564
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: Above kansas is in that meady. Middle, yeah SO i

565
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: think the highs will be really.

566
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: High there is a gap before you get down to

567
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: that next level in my, view and that will be

568
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 2: the real intrigue of the, conference, frankly to see how

569
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: those other teams jockey for. POSITION i Think, TEXAS i

570
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: THINK tc are both very well positioned in that. Regard But,

571
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: okay there is danger around the conference outside Of.

572
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: Kansas, oh absolutely there. Is, Yeah, NO i MEAN i

573
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: think year in and year, out The Big twelve is

574
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: one of the, more if not the most fascinating conferences

575
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: because of the competence floor we'll see this. Year quarterback

576
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,959
Speaker 1: is going to be fascinating with a new quarterback At

577
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: texas with potentially a new quarterback At Texas, tech If

578
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: Tyler shuck wins the job with a new offense At,

579
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: baylor With Kansas state Getting Skyler thompson. Back, like there's

580
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: a bunch of variables involved at quarterback in that medy,

581
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: middle but it's going to be a fascinating watch the media.

582
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: MIDDLE i like it media.

583
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 2: Middle Iowa state TIMED dan nine and three a year.

584
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,080
Speaker 2: Ago they lost To louisiana first week of the.

585
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: Year.

586
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: Yep they lost To Oklahoma state by three in Late,

587
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: october then To oklahoma by six in The Big twelve,

588
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 2: championship but they did beat Both oklahoma And texas during

589
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 2: the regular, season which pretty much made it the best

590
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 2: season in school. History Iowa state has been playing football

591
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 2: since eighteen ninety two and in only three. Seasons how

592
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 2: they actually got into nine, wins and that would be

593
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: nineteen oh. Six everyone remembers that. Season the year two

594
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 2: thousand and last year in twenty, twenty.

595
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: It's. AMAZING i, mean obviously we've had season game numbers be,

596
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: Variable so winning nine games when you only play ten

597
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: or something like, that it's a little. Trickier BUT i

598
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: hear you.

599
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:55,680
Speaker 2: The difference here, though compared to the other. Seasons they

600
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: went to The Fiesta bowl and knocked Off. Oregon, yes

601
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: so apparently they did play A bowl game thirty four to. Seventeen,

602
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 2: YEAH i. Watched this is not a team that blew

603
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 2: you out though a lot of one score. Games there's

604
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: a couple of ways that you can look at. That

605
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 2: you can look at that from the standpoint, of you,

606
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: know maybe they weren't as good as their. Record you can,

607
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: ALSO i, think take a positive spin on it and,

608
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 2: say as we move forward now through the pandemic year

609
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: into twenty, one this is a very veteran squad that

610
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 2: we'll learn from a lot of those one score. CONTESTS

611
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: i will choose the latter Because i'm trying to be

612
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 2: optimistic And i'm really excited About Iowa. State, sure BUT

613
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 2: i get the other side of the, COIN i. Do

614
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 2: Rock purty kind of took a small step. Back Matt

615
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 2: campbell was he gave some conjecture as to, why saying

616
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 2: that Brock purty has played With Iowa state teams that

617
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 2: weren't as well, rounded and he's all too often been

618
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 2: in the position of having to win games on his

619
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: own right October, fest if you, will, well and he

620
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 2: didn't have to do that last. Year he still tried

621
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 2: and that's how he got himself into. Trouble but it

622
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: took a little bit of a step. Back still very.

623
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 2: Good Brece, hall on the other, Hand Breese hall took

624
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: a big step, forward ran for over fifteen hundred yards

625
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 2: of twenty one. Touchdowns The clones on the whole had

626
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 2: a very efficient offense number sixteen in the, country a

627
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 2: very efficient, defense number thirty one in the. Country you,

628
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: know you can nitpick and you can find stuff that

629
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 2: they need to clean. Up they did play beneath themselves

630
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 2: in a bunch of games last. Year they do need

631
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 2: to generate big, plays but at the same, time they

632
00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 2: know how to play within. Themselves and that gets me

633
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,479
Speaker 2: back to the point of. Identity, sure the problem That

634
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: texas has had to some EXTENT. Tcu who are? They

635
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,240
Speaker 2: you asked the question at Spots Is texas Just Sam?

636
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: Ellinger IS?

637
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: Tcu just as good as the. Defense what are they

638
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 2: do on? Offense we don't. Know Iowa state knows what it,

639
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: is AND i think that's part of the reason why

640
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 2: they've been so. Successful they're very good at playing within.

641
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: Themselves they're very good at staying within those lines and

642
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 2: doing what they do particularly. Well this is very much

643
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 2: a team THAT i think did mature during the, pandemic

644
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 2: and now as we enter into twenty, ONE i think

645
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 2: they have grown into a legit playoff. CONTENDER i really

646
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 2: feel that. WAY i think they're good enough to beat

647
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 2: anybody in this. Conference it's crazy to say That Iowa,

648
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: state of all, programs only won nine games three times

649
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: in program, history But Matt campbell has done just an

650
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 2: incredible job there building them up slowly surely has gotten

651
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: them to the point now WHERE i think they've got the.

652
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,280
Speaker 2: Confidence they've definitely got a lot more depth than ever,

653
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: before and they're in a position where in looking at the,

654
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: SCHEDULE i, mean we'll talk it through in a little bit,

655
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 2: here BUT i think it is very doable that they

656
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: could find themselves in that conversation come the end of the. Year.

657
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: TOTALLY i think the next step For Iowa, state, though

658
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: is and it's hard to say next. Step what they

659
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: win an impressive it was the festable right Against. Oregon

660
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: they find themselves in The big twelve championship. Game is

661
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: FINDING i don't know if it's, SCHEME i don't know

662
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: if it's, PLAYER i don't know if it's, situation but

663
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 1: a little more pop on. Offense now hard to criticize

664
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: them when they have this all time season and as you,

665
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: mentioned play within, them play within. Themselves but with a

666
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:23,000
Speaker 1: quarterback and now a running back beside, him with as

667
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: much experience succeeding as they, have what's that next step,

668
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: creatively what's that next step to give defenses a new?

669
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: Look because this is a team THAT i, MEAN i

670
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 1: watched That oregon. Game they were AND i don't say

671
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: this as an, insult but they were relying on sort

672
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 1: of a nickel and dime, situation just sole and patiently

673
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 1: a twelve yard, field you, Know and what do they

674
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: do to sort of show a new outpitch to cross sports,

675
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 1: Analogies that to me is the fascinating. Element given the,

676
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: experience given the, expectations having one of the, best absolutely

677
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: the best tight ends In doege, football and What chaz.

678
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: Calls the two of.

679
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 2: Them Chess coller And Chase allen are both, back big.

680
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 2: Guys so, right so what does that offensive gravity look?

681
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 2: Like because sometimes the reason you play those close games

682
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 2: is you're not able to pull away from teams because

683
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 2: you don't have that explosive element to your offense that

684
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 2: you are not able to punish. Teams, again extremely hard

685
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: to criticize an all time era For clone, Football but

686
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 2: if we're looking for next steps, two because what do

687
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 2: we talk, about it's it's much easier to go from

688
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 2: okay to good than it is from good to. Great

689
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 2: that to me is the difference given What Iowa state

690
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: returns is where is that zazz?

691
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: Tie where is? That?

692
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 2: Said, well and that's the. Thing they are absolutely loaded this.

693
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 2: YEAR i was appalled WHEN i saw their returning production.

694
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 2: Stats it's nineteen it's twenty starters depending on whether you

695
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 2: give them two tight ends in the in the starting.

696
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: Lineup BUT i think that really is the next. Level

697
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 2: so we already know that Brock party is. Back you

698
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 2: know That Priese hall is. Back Breese hall is going

699
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 2: to be one of the first couple names that people

700
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 2: mention for The Heisman. TROPHY i, mean he's that, good

701
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 2: but finding how to get more pop out of that.

702
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 2: Offense they did play very close to the line of scrimmage.

703
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: OFFENSIVELY i don't know if that's because of having the two,

704
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 2: big reliable tight. ENDS i don't know if it's a

705
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: matter of play. Calling they didn't play with a whole

706
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 2: lot of, pace which is, fine that's kind of their

707
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:26,799
Speaker 2: identity as, well.

708
00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: Yep but how they can get.

709
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 2: The most out of that receiving core in, PARTICULAR i

710
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: think is going to be imperative to watch the line

711
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: for what it's. Worth the line took a huge step

712
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 2: forward last, year brings back everybody out. Wide you, know

713
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,240
Speaker 2: it's not.

714
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: Just the tight.

715
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: Ends it's Also Xavier, hutchinson who's big and physical and

716
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 2: poses a problem for opposing. Defenses there's just a lot

717
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 2: to work with here if You're Matt. Campbell the schedule

718
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 2: sets up pretty. Well you, know we're used to talking

719
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: about the month Of october As, broctober where he pulls

720
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 2: an upset or does something. Crazy but this Year broctober

721
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: features matchups against both The kansas, Schools Oklahoma, state And West.

722
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 2: Virginia SO i feel pretty good about the. Production we're

723
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 2: going to see From broctober one.

724
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: Season.

725
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 2: Yep and defensively they're just as. Loaded this is another big.

726
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 2: Deal they're led By Mike. Rose he started every game

727
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: at linebacker since his college, career Commenced Defensive player of

728
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 2: The year last year in The Big. Twelve will McDonald

729
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,280
Speaker 2: back along the, line no questions in the, secondary two returning.

730
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: Cornerbacks they Got Greg easworth back. There who's a three

731
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 2: time over tries yea been there. Forever they're all. Back

732
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 2: the only question is whether or not they matured to

733
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,439
Speaker 2: the point where they can avoid losing a dumb?

734
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: One can they avoid losing a dumb? One, no you're

735
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: absolutely and it's just it's avoid losing the way that they.

736
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: LOST i, MEAN i don't know if you rewatched any

737
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: of The Big twelve championship game from last. Year with

738
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: a slow, start not necessarily having the athletes to contend

739
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 1: With oklahoma's defense last, Year oklahoma's defense did a really

740
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: nice job early on in that game and closing out

741
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: that game a lot of. Speed The Iowa state offensive

742
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: line really just late in that game couldn't fully handle

743
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,920
Speaker 1: The oklahoma pass. Rush Brock purty made a bunch of

744
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:31,759
Speaker 1: weird bad, throws which he's known to do sometimes late in,

745
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: games to say the. Least and so it's on the.

746
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: Margins Where's Iowa state improving? AGAINST i guess Specifically, oklahoma

747
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: a team that they've, beaten but a team that they

748
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: JUST i thought they did a great job adjusting defensively

749
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 1: against ou last year in that. Game it's Just Iowa

750
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: state putting it all together everywhere on the field at

751
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 1: the same time when it matters Most, December, january. Whatever,

752
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: yeah that's that next, step because that's the next. Step

753
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: they can't go through those. Stretches they just can't and

754
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: win the conference like they did Against oklahoma in that.

755
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: Game and he.

756
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 2: Can't louisiana was fine last. Year they're very, good, right

757
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: can't lose To. Louisiana can't lose games like.

758
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: That but that's.

759
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 2: Ye can't lose games like that if you want to

760
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 2: take the next. Step, now last year, again what do we?

761
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 2: With how much of a grain salt do we take twenty.

762
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: TWENTY i don't. Know but they can't lose a dumb.

763
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: One they have to be.

764
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 2: Mature they have TO i think as they have grow

765
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 2: into this thing very organically over the course of many,

766
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 2: years and that's What Matt campbell's. Done such a good

767
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 2: job of the schedule for what it's. Worth home Against

768
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 2: iowa in week two will be a tough. Matchup that's

769
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 2: going to be a close. Game but the first five

00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 2: nine point five is the over under From. VEGAS i

800
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,880
Speaker 2: feel like that's. Low you think that's. Low that should

801
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 2: be like a ten and a half or a. TEN

802
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:33,200
Speaker 2: i don't think you can make the line that, High

803
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 2: but for my, MONEY i think ten and. TWO i

804
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 2: could see him going twelve and zero they catch lightning

805
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 2: in a.

806
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: Bottle and knock off OH. U But i'm going to

807
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: go ten and Twel they have a buye before farm,

808
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 1: again and that's. Nice ten and. Two, okay ten and

809
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: Two Iowa state be a monster, season that would be truly.

810
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: INCREDIBLE i think once you get into those double digit,

811
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: wins ten and two means that they have found a

812
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: new gear on. Offense to, me it would have To, yeah.

813
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 2: Yeah you want me to talk About Texas tech, NOW

814
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 2: i would love. To Texas tech is in a very

815
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 2: interesting spot going into twenty twenty. One they were four

816
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: and six last. Year they had two close, losses four

817
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,319
Speaker 2: very close. Wins that's an improvement from twenty nineteen when

818
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 2: they finished four and, eight but basically were a couple

819
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: plays away from being eight and, four so they converted

820
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 2: a few more of those close. Wins it is such

821
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 2: a head trip to look At, tech, though isn't. It

822
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: have you looked At tech stats a little? Bit not a, lot,

823
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 2: Though it is such a head trip to see how

824
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 2: bad they've been as a passing. Team, yeah even where

825
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 2: they've come from and The Mike leech, era that's all they.

826
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,279
Speaker 2: Did they threw, through, through through. Through they're very good at.

827
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 2: It but that has been a problem For Matt wells

828
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 2: in his time. There in a few years in.

829
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: LOVING i, mean quarterback health has played in Issue Alan

830
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 1: bowman going down as often and unfortunately as he has has.

831
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, absolutely but from a pure statistic, standpoint that has

832
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 2: been a real achilles. Heel the defense is, talented which

833
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: again is a head trip For Texas, tech isn't. It,

834
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 2: yeah the defense is. Talented it's trying to bring that

835
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,279
Speaker 2: offense to life. Though that's been the problem For Matt.

836
00:43:22,280 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 2: Wells AND i don't know if it's, QUARTERBACK i don't

837
00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: know if it's something, else but that's the. Issue it

838
00:43:27,880 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 2: also feels to me like there is some there is

839
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 2: something going on Between Matt wells And kirby Hoe. Cut

840
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 2: and MAYBE i am misinterpreting, This and IF i, Am

841
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 2: i'm sure there will be folks out there who chime

842
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 2: in and let me know about. It But kirby Hoe

843
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 2: cut at the end of last year very publicly ad

844
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 2: For Texas. Tech the ad For Texa tech Gave Matt

845
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 2: wells a vote of, confidence but he included a little

846
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 2: barbin there about how he expects. Improvement, now, look everybody expects,

847
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,280
Speaker 2: improvement everybody wants. Improvement i'm Sure Matt wells would, agree

848
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: but it's kind of not a vote of confidence when

849
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: you include That barb SAYING i expect. Improvement, yeah so you,

850
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 2: KNOW i don't know what's going on. There it doesn't

851
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:13,360
Speaker 2: like just that little bit to me is a cause

852
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 2: for pause our famous pet charity here on Soliverb horse of,

853
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 2: course of. Course so, naturally What Matt wells did as

854
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 2: he went out he fired his old offensive coordinator and

855
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: he brought Over Sonny comby FROM tcu to help fix this,

856
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,439
Speaker 2: offense to hopefully make them better as a passing. Unit

857
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 2: so we'll see if that. HAPPENS i don't. Know it's

858
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: potentially a make or break year for, him though a

859
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 2: lot is going to hinge on the offense in deciding

860
00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:43,240
Speaker 2: whether or Not Kirby hocut does actually Retain Matt. Wells

861
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 2: there's some palace intrigue there as to what's going on

862
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 2: behind the. Scenes where does any even.

863
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: Mention the quarterbacks by name yet and talking about passing game. Struggles,

864
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: no they made move there too to potentially bring in

865
00:44:56,719 --> 00:45:00,439
Speaker 1: a new. Starter, well, yeah so it's everybody body knows

866
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: who maybe everybody. KNOWS i don't, know But Alan bowman

867
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: was the guy he transferred out To. Michigan his replacement

868
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: last year Was Henry. Columby m. Hm now they who

869
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 1: Brought he brought over From. Utasta he brought over From.

870
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: Utstate now it's your, Boy Tyler shuck who comes over From.

871
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: Oregon was he named the? STARTER i haven't even seen not, Yet,

872
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: okay not.

873
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 2: Yet everything that you read says he's got the most physical,

874
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: presence he's got the best set of. Tools that he's

875
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:33,400
Speaker 2: probably going to be the, guy but that has not

876
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 2: been officially set in stone. Yet they also recruited a

877
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 2: four star In Baron morton comes over From East, Lake,

878
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 2: texas four star. KID i think they're looking for somebody

879
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,560
Speaker 2: at this. Point IF i Were Matt, wells knowing that

880
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 2: there's perhaps some sort of ultimatum on my, FUTURE i

881
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 2: would want somebody with a little bit more. Experience AND

882
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 2: i think maybe that's whether Leaning shuck or Column, by

883
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 2: but just to need to keep in the back of your.

884
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,839
Speaker 2: Head morton was a pretty top flight. Recruit we will

885
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 2: what happens. There how do you feel About Tyler shuck

886
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:03,640
Speaker 2: just in?

887
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 1: General, man talented, kid pretty good arm athletic for, sure

888
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 1: and was very difficult to. Watch it was one of

889
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: those you mentioned The Kirby hoe cut the vote of

890
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: confidence you would be hard pressed to find An oregon

891
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,400
Speaker 1: fan after watching the end of The Oregon state cal

892
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,879
Speaker 1: AND usc, Games and that was A usc game That

893
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: oregon started working In Anthony brown a lot, more and

894
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,799
Speaker 1: then a lot more in The bowl game when the

895
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:41,399
Speaker 1: going got, Tough Tyler shuck looked fully, lost like there

896
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 1: was a vote of if there was a vote of

897
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: confidence or no confidence From oregon fans after the, year

898
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: And Tyler, shuck just in terms of the game is

899
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,560
Speaker 1: on his. Shoulders you'd be hard pressed to find An

900
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 1: oregon fan confident In Tyler shuck's ability at the end of,

901
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: game and that Shan that is the caveat for. Me

902
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: that is The you can do all the right.

903
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: Things you can bring over a new offensive coordinator In

904
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 2: Sonny comby who does have a track record for improving,

905
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 2: offenses no, doubt you can go, out you can work

906
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,120
Speaker 2: the transfer, portal you can bring back a lot of,

907
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: talent As tech does this. Year but on some, level

908
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 2: you can't just read what the coaches are saying and

909
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:22,359
Speaker 2: try to interpret what they're.

910
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 1: Doing you have to use your.

911
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: EYES i saw the same thing From Tyler, shuck and

912
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:31,319
Speaker 2: that's what gives me. Pause that's Why i'm. Concerned the

913
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,400
Speaker 2: other tidbits THAT i throw in here is That Sir Roderick,

914
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 2: thompson their top running, back as well As Eric Azu

Speaker 1: Arm both are.

919
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: Recovering the cupboard doesn't bear it running back or wide,

920
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,399
Speaker 2: receiver but it leads to more. Questions it leads to more.

921
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,480
Speaker 2: Questions the line will be. Fine i'm not worried about the,

922
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 2: line but it's just with guys heard on, offense with

923
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 2: maybe turning this thing over To Tyler. Shuck i'm, very

924
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 2: very skeptical that this is going to turn. AROUND i

925
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 2: do think the defense will be sneaky, good, Okay and

926
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:21,760
Speaker 2: that's Where Texas tech as a sandwich game is really

927
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 2: interesting for just the broader landscape in The pact or

928
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 2: The big, twelve excuse, me a lot of experience across the.

929
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: Board Probably Matt wells's best defense since he's been, there

930
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 2: led By colins. Schoolers the name's been around. Forever the

931
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 2: active viers audience yea active leader in tackles among all active.

932
00:48:40,719 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 2: Players BUT i am very skeptical of this experiment that

933
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: we've got going down in twenty.

934
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: One it's, look it's not an impossible place to. Win

935
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: you're In. Texas you are not the headline or the

936
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: one of the headline schools necessarily among those big Twelve texas.

937
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 1: Schools but there's a track record of, success there's a brand.

938
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: Identity there was a defensive, lull to say the, least

939
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:06,959
Speaker 1: that they've managed to dig out of with a few

940
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: different defensive. Coaches but, yeah even what they start the

941
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 1: season With, houston it's a tough first.

942
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: Half there are no season, yeah so it's the twenty

943
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 2: eighth hardest schedule in the. Country there are no gauntlet,

944
00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 2: situations but they're on the road At texas And. Oklahoma

945
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 2: they're home Versus Iowa state late in the. Year AND

946
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 2: i just think with some of these other, questions like,

947
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 2: again it's not so much a question of having veteran.

948
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: Presence they have veteran presents and they do have.

949
00:49:38,480 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: Talent it's just a matter of trying to switch up the. Offense,

950
00:49:43,680 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: now go with a quarterback THAT i think we know

951
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: and don't necessarily get too excited about.

952
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: Look and by the, way it could be With, shuck

953
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: WHICH i think you're, right just while we're on. Him

954
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 1: some people just it's a change of. Scenery Maybe oregon

955
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: wasn't a right. Fit there were reports that he wasn't

956
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: Necessarily Joe moorehead's dude to start at, quarterback that Maybe

957
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,799
Speaker 1: Joe morehead was more of An Anthony brown guy than

958
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: A Tyler shuck, guy which is. Fine and sometimes you

959
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 1: just need to find the place that's best for you

960
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 1: and you need that fresh. Start that has to be

961
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: an element of duration To Texas tech.

962
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 2: Offense i'm just. Skeptical and so the over under is

963
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 2: four and a. HALF i think four and eight or

964
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 2: five and. SEVEN i think they are. PLUCKY i think

965
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:29,440
Speaker 2: this is a plucky. Team AND i do think that

966
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 2: will make the decision On Matt wells very. Difficult it'll

967
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 2: make it. Difficult BUT i think he's. TOASTED i Think

968
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: Matt wells's. Toast it's just it's a it's a tough.

969
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 1: Place it's tough considering what he, inherited it's tough considering

970
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback injury luck It, Yeah i'm with. YOU i

971
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: Mean i'm looking at the teams and where they Get Texas,

972
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: TECH i think, situationally, right so you, Know West virginia

973
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,959
Speaker 1: has them a week After, Oklahoma like The Texas tech

974
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 1: has a nice. Advantage, situationally it will be Team it

975
00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: will be a very fun let down look Ahead sandwich all. Year,

976
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: noah we will have reason to talk About Texas tech

977
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 1: despite their, record whatever it looks, like regardless of how

978
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: bad the offense does or doesn't, look they will be

979
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:16,760
Speaker 1: an interesting. Team, yeah And That's state has. Them Oklahoma

980
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: state has them AFTER tcu and Before, oklahoma so there's another.

981
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: Sound so it's like The, yeah they're.

982
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 2: Gonna be in interesting situations and they're probably gonna pull

983
00:51:26,239 --> 00:51:29,800
Speaker 2: an upset along the, way right because the defense is

984
00:51:29,840 --> 00:51:30,760
Speaker 2: good and that's a competitive.

985
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 1: Advantage but over the relative the defense is. Fine defense

986
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: defense isn't.

987
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 2: Good i'm trying to get benefit of the doubt here

988
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 2: Because i'm saying they're going to fire their.

989
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: Coach but words, matter words, matter four and five or

990
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 1: four and, eight five and.

991
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 2: SEVEN i Think Matt walls is going BUT i think

992
00:51:48,160 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 2: they're an interesting storyline throughout the course of the.

993
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:54,319
Speaker 1: Year so walk me through Their bowl contention, Seat, like

994
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 1: what what are the six games that they must win

995
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: to go to a. Bowl let me pull up their.

996
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: SCHEDULE i have their schedule right. Now they got to

997
00:52:02,440 --> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 1: win their first three Right, houston which is not technically

998
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 1: a true road, game but it's at the neark Whatever,

999
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: Houston STEPHEN. F AUSTIN fiu at, home they have to

1000
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 1: go three and oh, there they have to Beat. Kansas that's. Four,

1001
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 1: Okay so find me the other? Two is?

1002

Speaker 1: WHAT, Tcu Kansas state at? Home baylor on the road

1004
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: is one of. Them, PROBABLY i don't know how you

1005
00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:27,759
Speaker 1: feel About. Baylor we haven't gotten there. Yet what are

1006
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: the other two? GAMES i, mean Definitely? Baylor, Okay So

1007
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: Texas tech has Beaten Oklahoma state two of the last three.

1008
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,400
Speaker 1: Years they didn't last year lost in a, shootout but

1009
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,640
Speaker 1: they've scored forty plus these last three, years last year

1010
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 1: in a losing. Effort so that game's In, lubbock that

1011
00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 1: game is a sandwich game for The. Pokes, yep that's

1012
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,399
Speaker 1: HOW i WOULD i would categorize that game as one

1013
00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:55,359
Speaker 1: of the. Two All, Right, well we'll.

1014
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 2: SEE i don't. Know i'm Just i'm skeptical that this

1015
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 2: is going to. Work not rooting for, It, okay not

1016
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 2: rooting for it not to. Work BUT i Just I'M

1017
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 2: i Think Matt wells is. Gone.

1018
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: MAN i Hope Tyler shuck is just. AWESOME i hope

1019
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: so too would be good. STARTING i hope he just

1020
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: has like this awesome second chapter now that it'd be

1021
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: good Final big twelve team for this. Show and then

1022
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: we got a couple other teams that we're going to rifle.

1023
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:26,480
Speaker 1: Through The Baylor bears two to seven In david R

1024
00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 1: anda's first. Year can you give me The rando? Voice?

1025
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 1: Please of COURSE i can thank.

1026
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 2: You offense was a total. Disaster defense was, okay but

1027
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 2: lost its best player to a shoulder. Injury despite, that,

1028
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 2: though they only got blown out. Once AND i think

1029
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 2: that does speak to the mentality of the, players maybe the.

1030
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 2: CULTURE i don't, know if it's a holdover From matt

1031
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:52,439
Speaker 2: rule because his teams were always so damn. Plucky maybe

1032
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 2: it's an a random thing as, well because he's got

1033
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 2: the defensive. MENTALITY i don't, know but they played. Hard

1034
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 2: they did play. Hard Charlie, brewer who was the face of,

1035
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:04,319
Speaker 2: that is now. Gone he transferred over To. UTAH i

1036
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 2: think it'd be good to get him a fresh, start

1037
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 2: if only because he's probably tired of being harassed every

1038
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 2: single snap because they couldn't protect. Him but that's a

1039
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 2: topic for another, day.

1040
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: Right, well it's topic for today, literally BECAUSE i need

1041
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: to know If baylor's quarterback can be. Protected, well.

1042
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 2: Okay the APPEAL i think is that this is the

1043
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: actual year one For David. Random, okay last YEAR i

1044
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 2: take with a grain of. Salt he had a quick.

1045
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 2: Cook he got rid Of Larry, fedora which made some.

1046
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 2: Waves didn't feel like the offense was. Clicking the new

1047
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,960
Speaker 2: Guy's Jeff, Grimes Sheriff grimes.

1048
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: FROM byu comes Over, Dan.

1049
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, grimey different philosophy. Altogether fedora ran a little bit of.

1050
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 2: Everything grimes doesn't do. That grimes has a smaller number

1051
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 2: of plays with many more. VARIATIONS i like that.

1052
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: Approach.

1053
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,760
Speaker 2: FRANKLY i think if you're trying to make a, switch

1054
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 2: if you're trying to teach guys a new, system it's

1055
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: easier to pick up. On it does have serious vibes

1056
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,879
Speaker 2: of What Jeff haffley did At Boston. College your, Boy Jeff,

1057
00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:11,800
Speaker 2: hafley the half my, guyl he, SAID i ran very vanilla.

1058
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 2: Offense we had some, variations BUT i just didn't want to,

1059
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,480
Speaker 2: overload and THAT i think is the same mentality That

1060
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 2: grimes approaches The baylor's situation with keep it as simple as.

1061
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 2: Possible it doesn't mean it can't be difficult to, defend

1062
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 2: but hopefully that means easier to pick.

1063
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: Up should should mention That grimes had the luxury of

1064
00:55:33,080 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: having Maybe BYU's most talented, Quarterbacks Zach.

1065
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:43,720
Speaker 2: Wilson that, helps and to be, Fair Jerry, Bohannon Jacob.

1066
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 2: Zeno neither of those guys Is Zach, wilson of, course.

1067
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: So we'll. SEE i don't.

1068
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 2: KNOW i Think baylor's, okay okay on, Offense they're. Okay

1069
00:55:56,200 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 2: at running, back They're they're okay at wide. Receivers they've

1070
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 2: got some speed guy and different guys with different skill. Sets,

1071
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: okay but they're. FINE i don't know HOW i feel About,

1072
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 2: bohanners you, KNOW i don't know who the guy's gonna.

1073
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 2: BE i think it's gonna Be bohannan at quarterback, again

1074
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 2: certainly Not Zach.

1075
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: WILSON i DO.

1076
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 2: I get like an uncomfortable feeling in the pit of

1077
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 2: my stomach WHEN i see in previews folks talking about

1078
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:30,440
Speaker 2: how well they've got they've got experience along the, line

1079
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 2: but you know they're still trying to figure out what

1080
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 2: combination makes sense and not Where baylors come. From that

1081
00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: they could not Protect Charlie. Brewer they almost killed him

1082
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 2: three years in a.

1083
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 1: ROW i was kind of surprised he decided to play last.

1084
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: Year was to see how physically beat up he was

1085
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: after the twenty nineteen, season and that he's now what

1086
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 1: he's At Utah, Vitah he's been around. Forever there is

1087
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: a part of me that If zeno Or bohannan AND

1088
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: i don't know their, HEALTH i don't know the situation,

1089
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 1: whatever we're so obviously an upgrade even behind a pretty terrible,

1090
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: line that they probably would have seen more. Time because

1091
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: it's not as If Dave randa recruited either any of those. Dudes, no, no,

1092
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: no. No so that's what has me worried that like one

1093
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: of those dudes might emerge clearly and beat out the,

1094
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: other but not necessarily be so obviously an upgrade for you,

1095
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,960
Speaker 1: Know baylor taking four steps forward.

1096
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 2: Offensively, Yeah i'm JUST i could be, wrong and maybe

1097
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 2: The grimes approach to the more simplistic approach will re

1098
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 2: big time, results, RIGHT i don't see. It me a lowly,

1099
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 2: PODCASTER i don't see. IT i think they're, fine AND

1100
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 2: i think they will get. Better But i'm not seeing

1101
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 2: this sudden switch that they're going to flip and suddenly

1102
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: it's all going to. Work this is still going to

1103
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 2: be a team led by. DEFENSE i Like Torel, bernard

1104
00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 2: he's back at linebacker from the shoulder. End i'm intrigued

1105
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:05,920
Speaker 2: By Siaka eka there Mosters. TOWN lsu comes over FROM

1106
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: lsu six four three. Fifty that's a lot of. Pooh

1107
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 2: that's a lot of man a. Pooh but you can

1108
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 2: bind some of that uncertainty across the board with a

1109
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 2: really difficult, schedule and it's tough for me to go

1110
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 2: over five and a, half which is The vegas. Number

1111
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:24,959
Speaker 2: listen to this, Schedule listen to this. Shot i'm looking

1112
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 2: from Late september to Early. November Iowa state At Oklahoma

1113
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 2: State West virginia B yu in The Grimes, Bowl texas

1114
00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 2: at Te by Week, oklahoma there's a bye, week but that's. Unrelenting.

1115
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,600
Speaker 1: Man the worst possible time to Get kansas is week.

1116
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 1: Three it really is real great to have to have

1117
00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: a nice sweet middle sandwich Of kansas between two tougher.

1118
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 2: Games put it in there BETWEEN byu And, texas Or

1119
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: texas AND, tcu OR tcu.

1120
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 1: And okla somewhere C.

1121
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 2: Beloney, yeah but the good news is that you're if

1122
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 2: if you're A baylor season ticket, holder you'll get THE Seio,

1123
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 2: state you get to See, texas you get to See. Oklahoma,

1124
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 2: SURE i, MEAN i have the result you, won but

1125
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 2: you'll at least get to see those. Teams that's a

1126
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: brutal stretch.

1127
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: There SO i, mean the good news if You're baylor

1128
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:15,520
Speaker 1: is if last year was such like a write off

1129
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 1: that this is the true year one Of Dave, randa

1130
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,600
Speaker 1: that they were competitive against teams last year given all

1131
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 1: that they had lost from that great twenty Nineteen absolutely,

1132
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely dan absolutely right sense even in losing, efforts sure,

1133
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: Right and it's such a low, bar, Right, like nobody

1134
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: takes solace in the fact that you're competitive in. Losses

1135
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: but other than That Oklahoma state game to finish out the,

1136
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: year which understandable given the circumstances where they lose like

1137
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: forty to, three forty two to, Three oklahoma reasonably. Competitive

1138
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: the DEFENSE i thought played really impressively and they just

1139
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: didn't get much from the. Offense obviously they'd Beat Kansas,

1140
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: state but that's A Will Howard Kansas state. Team Texas

1141
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 1: tech they lose. Close Iowa state they lose reasonably. CLOSE

1142
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:01,840
Speaker 1: tcu they lose reasonably, close only by. Ten that was

1143
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: my point at the. Top they only got blown out

1144
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: once it was, understandable, Right SO i that to, me trajectory,

1145
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 1: wise is. Interesting if they get above average quarterback play

1146
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: and line play AND i don't know, QUARTERBACK i don't.

1147
01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 2: KNOW i don't feel tough optimistic about. It the schedule is,

1148
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: tough fifteenth hardest. Nationally, Yeah vegas says five and a.

1149
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: Half i'm going. Under you're taking the under, There, Okay

1150
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: so if If baylor goes four and eight or something like,

1151
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: that then twenty twenty two is the Real. Yeah uh

1152
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: referendum on the day Of Randa era he has now

1153
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: had he'd misfired on The. Fedora who knows whether or

1154
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 1: not that was his one hundred percent, choice because sometimes

1155
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: with these first time head coaches you get pressure to

1156
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: hire names that you don't necessarily want to. Hire there

1157
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: is that element to hiring that you don't necessarily have

1158
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:59,720
Speaker 1: the politicking. Power, sure but now this is his, guy

1159
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: even if it wasn't his first, choice it's his. Guy

1160
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,080
Speaker 1: and so year two of having your guy on, offense

1161
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: and we expect continued defensive. Improvement Given randa's own background

1162
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 1: and own history with improving, DEFENSES i can understand a

1163
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:18,960
Speaker 1: down ish twenty twenty. One next year's that referendum where

1164
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 1: he has to field a bowl and competitive bowl. Team.

1165
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah the good news for him looking forward into twenty

1166
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 2: two is that because of THE covid, year as is

1167
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,600
Speaker 2: the case around college, football a lot of guys still have.

1168
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 2: Eligibility so if they want to have a strong veteran

1169
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 2: presence next, year.

1170
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:41,600
Speaker 1: They can do.

1171
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 2: That. Yep doesn't mean guys will cash that, in but it's,

1172
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:51,000
Speaker 2: there and so that either means more veteran leadership in

1173
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 2: twenty two or a very active transfer portal we'll.

1174
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,640
Speaker 1: SEE i always state it as the clear class of

1175
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: these five.

1176
01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 2: Teams to you clear. CLASS i will state clear class fewest.

1177
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 2: Questions the team is. Loaded IF i had to rank,

1178
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 2: them the pecking order for me would Be Iowa, State

1179
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 2: TEXAS TCU whoa Probably, baylor followed By Texas. Tech. Wow,

1180

01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: Range, okay fair, Enough Man texas had TO. Tcu it

1183
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 1: truly is a new. Era, yeah all, right fair. Enough

1199
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 2: Freeze this, year the entire offense is, back and you

1200
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,200
Speaker 2: would expect because they have also so much veteran leadership on,

1201
01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: defense that they're going to get better on that side

1202
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 2: of the ball as. Well the schedule is pretty. Easy

1203
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 2: there's about three or four games on there that are

1204
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,120

1207
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:42,520

1208
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:43,440

01:03:57,120 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 2: don't play a bunch of killers per. Se but you,

Speaker 2: To, nothing which is all that really matters to. Them of,

1221
01:04:17,040 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 2: course lost To Sincy tulane In West virginia in the bowl.

1222
01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 2: GAME i think the appeal here is really just a

1223
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 2: question of how much upward mobility there is can they

1224
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,960
Speaker 2: improve on nine to three with a quarterback and offensive

1225
01:04:32,040 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 2: line grouping that will not be as. Experienced they do

1226
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 2: have a healthy stable of running backs to carry the,

1227
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:43,360
Speaker 2: load but that's the real that's the operative question for.

1228
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 2: Me without that, experience without the line being as, experienced

1229
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 2: can they take another step forward now and get a

1230
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 2: little bit? BETTER i do think the defense would be pretty.

1231
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 2: Good they bring back eight. Guys they seem primed for

1232
01:04:55,800 --> 01:05:00,560
Speaker 2: a step. Forward but can They who has wood the

1233
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 2: app State Nate woodie exactly a good defensive.

1234
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: Cot.

1235
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:06,919
Speaker 2: Yeah some interesting matchups on the schedule. Too they play Ball,

1236
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,240
Speaker 2: state THE Mac, champs they Play, wisconsin they Play, Wake

1237
01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 2: they're At, liberty which is kind of a fun matchup

1238
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 2: to see What liberty can do against that. Option they've

1239
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 2: also got The navy game as, well So vegas is

1240
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 2: pretty high On.

1241
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: Army they've got A Patriot League Crevice Patriot league Treval, Yeah.

1242
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,919
Speaker 1: Crevasse do you want to go over under his? EIGHT

1243
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: i would go. OVER i will go. Over. OKAY i Like,

1244
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: army BUT i think nine to three is probably the.

1245
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: Ceiling fair? Enough all, right we, were but you've looked

1246
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 1: At army more THAN i. Have talked to me About CONFERENCE.

1247
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: USA i want to hear about. It let's look at

1248
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: the western side Of CONFERENCE, Usa tye and that would

1249
01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: be AS i had to VERIFY, Uab Bill clark AND,

1250
01:05:54,560 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: uab the Road runners OF, Utsa Louisiana, Tech Other Miss North, Texas,

1251
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: rice AND utep the. Miners it's it's kind of a fascinating.

1252
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,680
Speaker 1: CONFERENCE i think led by defense and certain like it's

1253
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 1: just it's a lot of. Extremes it's a lot of.

1254
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: Like offense is pretty, good defense is a. Nightmare defense

1255
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:19,919
Speaker 1: is pretty. Good offense is a. Nightmare so let's start

1256
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: with one of those, teams the team that actually won

1257
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the conference last. Year that'd BE UA. B they went

1258
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: six and. Three Bill, clark full on good, coach full,

1259
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: on really good. Coach it was an awesome defense on all.

1260
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: Levels it. Was it was led by the. Linebackers Jordan

1261
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: smith was. Great he's off to THE. Nfl the offense was.

1262
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 1: Woeful they lost to Both louisiana And Louisiana tech in

1263
01:06:40,440 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: winning efforts. Tie they Beat marshall in The CONFERENCE usa championship.

1264
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: Game but looking, forward the offense is still a bit

1265
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 1: up in the. Air the running backs should be good everything.

1266
01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: ELSE i, mean the the offensive lines, experience but skill position, wise, quarterback,

1267
01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,040
Speaker 1: receiver tight end is not in an amazing place to.

1268
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:04,959
Speaker 1: Me and they are on the road Against, georgia which

1269
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: is that's. Fine they'll cash that Check. Georgia and they

1270
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: also Have marshall on the, road SO UAB i, think

1271
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: all in, all an awesome defense and experienced offensive, line

1272
01:07:13,920 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 1: good running. Backs, YEAH i, mean we know their.

1273
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 2: Identity they're in a pretty by the, way a good story,

1274
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 2: too because great. Story his team was, Resurrected so The

1275
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 2: blazers are acquitting themselves well now having the program up

1276
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:27,440
Speaker 2: and running once.

1277
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: More Road, runners which is just an underrated. Nickname The

1278
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,080
Speaker 1: roadrunners of utsa pretty good place Under Jeff. TRAILER i

1279
01:07:35,080 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: think they've been doing a pretty good job and they've

1280
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: had some change of course at the top at coach

1281
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: these last few, years but both units were totally. Fine

1282
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 1: they kept the chains moving on. Offense they have sincere,

1283
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,920
Speaker 1: McCormick speaking of good, names one of the better running,

1284
01:07:50,960 --> 01:07:53,600
Speaker 1: backs not just in the in the, conference probably one

1285
01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: of the more underrated quarter or excuse, me running backs

1286
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 1: in the, COUNTRY a big play running, back and he is.

1287
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: Back they even though. There their production wasn't amazing on either.

1288
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: Side their turnover margin was so literally on the, margins

1289
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 1: they were able to get work, done they were able

1290
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: to get turn the ball, over turn other teams, over

1291
01:08:14,800 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 1: and of course protect the ball reasonably. Well their past

1292
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 1: defense was pretty. Good they gave up too many big

1293
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:22,320
Speaker 1: plays and linebacker was a bright. Spot they're in a

1294
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: pretty good place right. Now they're At illinois and At

1295
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,679
Speaker 1: memphis this, year BUT i expect continued. Growth Jeff trailor

1296
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: has A i think a pretty good reputation in coaching

1297
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: circles at this.

1298
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 2: Point the twenty seventh most difficult schedule and they bring

1299
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 2: back twenty one.

1300
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: Starters good place to, be not. Bad Louisiana tech Skip

1301
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:44,879
Speaker 1: holtz not so much an amazing name right now because

1302
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:48,560
Speaker 1: the defense was weirdly ahead of the, offense which is

1303
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: a weird thing to say With Louisiana. Tech they snuck

1304
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: By southern miss who had their coach resign after the

1305
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:59,400
Speaker 1: first week of the, season AND, uab but those were

1306
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:01,240
Speaker 1: sort of in lose. Efforts they weren't. Great they were

1307
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 1: blown out BY tcu And Georgia southern to end of the.

1308
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 1: Year COULDN'T i mean quarterback play was. Rough they couldn't

1309
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: throw the ball. Downfields they did an okay job preventing

1310
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,880
Speaker 1: bigger plays at. Times there's there's very little reason right

1311
01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: now to think the offense is in a place to

1312
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: make a dramatic move. Upward the defense should again be

1313
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 1: the bright. Spot they've got some power five players transferring

1314
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: in At Mississippi, state AT Nc, state AT. Uab schedule's. Tough,

1315
01:09:29,520 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 1: YEAH i don't know if you have the schedule ranking

1316
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: in front of. You schedule in front of, me it's

1317
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: ONE d and. Tenth, oh, okay it's not terrible considering

1318
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 1: those those road. Tilts southern miss is a TEAM i

1319
01:09:41,600 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 1: AM i think in on as a turnaround team just

1320
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: because of how weird twenty twenty, was With Jay hopson

1321
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,440
Speaker 1: leaving after they lost To Southern alabama one week in

1322
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:53,720
Speaker 1: to this. Season so they Hire Will, hall WHO i

1323
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 1: think has a pretty good. Reputation he's coached on a

1324
01:09:55,920 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 1: bunch of different. Levels Was tulane's offensive, Coordinator Frank gore

1325
01:10:01,040 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: junior good? Name what good? Name Oh, god we're getting.

1326
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 1: Old he And sincere are the classes of the conference

1327
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: at running back and so a really great start in

1328
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: terms of where to. Build the offense was ahead of the,

1329
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:23,880
Speaker 1: defense but still had a ton of issues last. Year

1330
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,640
Speaker 1: Trey low appears to be the guy taking. Over it

1331
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 1: was sort of a quarterback by committee situation last year

1332
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,639
Speaker 1: as they tried to sort things. Out AND i Expect

1333
01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Will hall to do a pretty good job With Trey. Low,

1334
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: yeah he does have help around, Him frank Or, Junior,

1335
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Baby frank Or. Junior they're in a good spot at,

1336
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: receiver good spot at offensive. Line we just need some

1337
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: zazz to The Southern miss offense and a quarterback who

1338
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: does a reasonable, job reasonable enough job generating big plays

1339
01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:55,719
Speaker 1: and protecting the. BALL i, THINK i Think Southern miss

1340
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: is is a big. Grower here's what we.

1341
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Say here's a line for you From Phil, steel the

1342
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: very last line in His Southern miss preview. Quote Coach

1343
01:11:05,120 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 2: hall told me to put them on the most improved

1344
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:08,720
Speaker 2: list and he would not disappoint.

1345
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Me SO i see them going to a. Bowl there you,

1346
01:11:11,640 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 1: go it's all it. Takes just Give phill your. Word

1347
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,560
Speaker 1: let's go back to a team that has dramatic. Differences

1348
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: North Texas Seth, Latrelle oh, boy has he had him

1349
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: on the. Show has he been on this. Show, yeah

1350
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: he was going to have a. Show the defense was a.

1351
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:30,040
Speaker 1: Nightmare the defense is a full on. Nightmare they Hired Phil, bennett,

1352
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: who of course has coached, everywhere most recently he was

1353
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: AT asu and then was At baylor for a long

1354
01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: time before, that and That baylor, defense excuse, me peaked

1355
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 1: like twenty, thirteen twenty FOURTEEN nfl caliber. Talent they did

1356
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 1: a good job defensively there for a. Bit so hopefully

1357
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: he's able to just raise the floor considerably because the

1358
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: offense was in a decent. Spot Jalen darden's gone an

1359
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: all time great receiver for The Mean. Green there are.

1360
01:11:55,400 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: Pieces the quarterback situation needs to get. BETTER i think

1361
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,600
Speaker 1: they're tearing the defense down to its. Studs in search of.

1362
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:10,360
Speaker 1: Studs maybe there are, none who. Knows, yeah they probably

1363
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: ran better than they threw last, year which is also

1364
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,759
Speaker 1: weird to say given where they were With Graham. Harrell

1365
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: they are At, miszoo AT, smu At Southern, miss so

1366
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: they go four and. Six last year they Played liberty. Two,

1367
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,880
Speaker 1: oh they do Have. Liberty. Yeah if they can even

1368
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: flirt with a bowl, GAME i think that's a success to.

1369
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: Me what About, Rice, Rice Mike Bloomgren stanford. Guy they

1370
01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: go two and three last, year weirdly shut Out marshall

1371
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:42,519
Speaker 1: twenty to. Nothing but they're At, arkansas At Texas. Houston

1372
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,400
