0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the solid verbal.

0:00:05.000 --> 0:00:05.560
<v Speaker 2>Ll that for me.

0:00:06.680 --> 0:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm a man, I'm for.

0:00:08.240 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I've heard so many players say, well I want to

0:00:10.119 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 2>be happy.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.000
<v Speaker 1>You want to be happy for a day? Edo Steak?

0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Is that woom woom? And then and Tye, welcome back

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to the solid verbal boys and girls. My name is

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:27.400
<v Speaker 2>ty hilden Brandt, joining me as always over there in Chicago.

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.559
<v Speaker 2>Rounding out another week of this long dark preseason, the

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 2>one and only Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how you doing?

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:39.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm good. I just gotta say, Tye, between your mysterious

0:00:39.720 --> 0:00:43.160
<v Speaker 1>day job and the upcoming season and how much work

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you're putting in, I gotta say, when it comes to

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:50.760
<v Speaker 1>preparing and attention to detail, you are a certified freak

0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>seven days a week.

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Ty thank you.

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you understand the reference certified three? Because if you

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.760
<v Speaker 1>want me to keep going with lyrics, you're gonna have

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:05.319
<v Speaker 1>to get a finger on the like a mute button

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.800
<v Speaker 1>real quick. Do you do you not know wop?

0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Do you not know?

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:10.679
<v Speaker 1>Carty be? And Wop?

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.320
<v Speaker 2>I am familiar? I have not memorized the lyrics.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, that's how it starts out, and I don't think

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it would be fair to our listeners for me to

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:21.679
<v Speaker 1>go on further.

0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm looking at the lyrics so quickly. We would

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 2>have to add the explicit tag to the podcast, to

0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:30.479
<v Speaker 2>say the least.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:34.319
<v Speaker 1>But I did. I did do some additional research on

0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the song as it relates to college football, because as

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>I was looking over Arkansas things for today's SEC preview,

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I started in the back of my head singing, there's

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>some hogs in this house. There's some hogs in this house,

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and it disappointed me. That's the first time I thought, Okay,

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.160
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be no bands because wop might be the

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>song like it was with Old Town Road last year.

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if it translates to a marching

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>band and or kids singing something in the crowd. That

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:09.359
<v Speaker 1>feels like it would have been the candidate and so

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 1>so it would either be Arkansas maybe Virginia with there's

0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 1>some who's in this house? No? Yes, yeah, no, I

0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>could see it. I could see Baylor. There's some bears

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>in this house. Okay, you know what I'm replacing, right,

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at the lyrics. I know what you're okay, No,

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>but do you see what I'm replacing in terms of

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the sample? Yeah? Yeah, yah, yeah, yeah, okay, I'm just

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.639
<v Speaker 1>making sure I got I guess there could be some

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>dogs in this house for Georgia Mississippi state, but I

0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>think that's too much of a stretch. But I think

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I land with there's some hogs in this house being

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.920
<v Speaker 1>the best analog to Cardi b and Megan the Stallion.

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Well with that as sort of our kind of intro

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 2>as my dog is, You've got the dog in the background,

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 2>all works up but to a lather. Dan Dog's not

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.880
<v Speaker 2>the only one apparently, Yeah, I have tie. He is

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Dan Rubinstein. This is the Solid Verbal. We've done previews

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>now for the Big twelve for the ACC and now

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.560
<v Speaker 2>we're rounding out our Power three previews with this one.

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 2>For the SEC. I've got the East, Dan has the West.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.680
<v Speaker 2>We will go through those conferences. We'll go through some

0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.600

<v Speaker 2>if you'd like to get in on the action and

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.119
<v Speaker 2>talk about the show long after the final bell as

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 2>a sitter on the show. Do we just want to

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:15.760
<v Speaker 2>start with news? Is that cool with you? We've got

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 2>a lot to cover tonight.

0:04:17.279 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, We've got news and we've got a big conference

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. I think we should do it. Let's

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>do it.

0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:30.679
<v Speaker 2>We had prokig news. This actually was real breaking news.

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Dan Boop boop. Yeah.

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Freakin Newman. Jamie Newman, the presumed starting quarterback for

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.960
<v Speaker 2>the Georgia Bulldogs, who I'm going to talk about at

0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:46.520
<v Speaker 2>length this evening has opted out of the twenty twenty

0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 2>college football season because of coronavirus concerns, So this is

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>a big deal. Jamie Newman comes over. They're running this

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.440
<v Speaker 2>new system that, as we'll discuss, is going to emphasize

0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.160
<v Speaker 2>hopefully the deep ball and the vertical passing threat. He's

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.360
<v Speaker 2>good deep ball quarterback. Was hoping to improve his draft

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>stock by coming over to play for the Georgia Bulldogs.

0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>He ain't playing. The skepticism was that maybe he lost

0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.880
<v Speaker 2>out to JT. Daniels. I'm also skeptical of that angle

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.320
<v Speaker 2>because JT. Daniels has not officially been cleared to play yet.

0:05:19.440 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 2>So a lot going on here, But suffice to say,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Jamie Newman opting out is kind of a big deal

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 2>in the college football world.

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>Was he clear to practice and just not playing games

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>or limited prectice something like JT.

0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.840
<v Speaker 2>Daniels. Yeah, JT Daniels. That's where we're at with him

0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 2>right now at time of recording. He's clear to practice

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.119
<v Speaker 2>and has been practicing, but not fully clear to play.

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I'm always going to not question but wonder about

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.599
<v Speaker 1>why timing for some players is different from others. But

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.440
<v Speaker 1>certainly the conversations they're having, the data they're collecting, and

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:52.840
<v Speaker 1>they're making their own decisions with what I imagine is their

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>loved ones. So best of luck to Jamie Newman moving forward.

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.960
<v Speaker 1>It would have been terrific to see him play, all

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>things being healthy for Georgia and in the SEC. So

0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 1>disappointed from a football standpoint, but can't blame him from

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a life one.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Iowa State has effectively backtracked Dan. I don't remember if

0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 2>we covered this news tidbit or not, but initially they

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:23.040
<v Speaker 2>announced a plan on Monday to allow twenty five thousand

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 2>fans to attend their opener on September the twelfth against Louisiana.

0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 2>They've now reversed course. They're no longer going to allow fans.

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 2>They cited feedback from the community in announcing this decision. So, yeah,

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 2>you thought you could go to the game, now you can't.

0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:45.920
<v Speaker 2>They apparently got outcry from the community and they've backtracked. Look,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 2>this is going to be a theme too, I think sure,

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:52.479
<v Speaker 2>we're all kind of figuring this out as we go along.

0:06:52.560 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 2>College football as a whole is no different, and when

0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>we start talking about attendance and having more people show

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:03.520
<v Speaker 2>up to the clearly it introduces a level of complexity

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 2>that some municipalities might not be comfortable with in it.

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 2>It seems like that's more the case here in ames Iowa.

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, at this point, what programs seem to be doing

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>universally is trying to limit the number of potential complicating variables,

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's why we've seen a number of plays to

0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>say there are not going to be fans, at least

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>not immediately. And so it makes sense from Iowa State

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>now backtracking and we've seen teams go from forty percent

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to twenty five fifty to whatever, it makes sense right

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>now to sort of gather all of the information with

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>just focusing on football and expanding from there, not necessarily

0:07:41.240 --> 0:07:44.480
<v Speaker 1>being too optimistic in terms of crowd and people gathering

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>in an area, dozens of thousands of people in an area.

0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>So I guess to my cap to Iowa State for

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>making what seems to be the most pragmatic decision in

0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>the moment. I scratched my head a little bit when

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:02.239
<v Speaker 1>the twenty five thousand person thing was announced, but looking

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>forward to seeing what the next rollback is. Ty, is

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>it only five hundred people are allowed to watch the

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>game on TV something like that. I really want a

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>very private Iowa State season. So like it's almost like

0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>a you had you either know somebody who saw it,

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>or you have no idea what happened. I like this,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>It's like the secret.

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Menu in and out only in college football.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Right it's exactly the perfect analog.

0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 2>Let's close out our news bid on a high note,

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 2>shall we.

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's do it our good friend, more wop, more wop,

0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and we can more. No, We're good. Okay, that's somes

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 1>in this house.

0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 2>Bill Connolly, our friend from ESPN, has rejiggered the old

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 2>sp plus rankings and they are out. Number one on

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>the list is Ohio State, which you know, I guess

0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 2>if you'll believe some fans on the internet maybe is

0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:55.880
<v Speaker 2>going to be playing sooner than expected. I don't subscribe

0:08:55.920 --> 0:09:01.400
<v Speaker 2>to that belief. But they're number one here, followed by Alabama, Clemson, Georgia,

0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Florida afterr top five, followed by Oklahoma, Penn State, Wisconsin,

0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:10.840
<v Speaker 2>Notre Dame, and Texas A and M. If you adjust

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 2>for the coronavirus, Alabama as the number one team, followed

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 2>by Clemson and Texas would effectively round out your top ten.

0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I like that Bill did this. I was waiting to

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 2>see if he would, given all that's gone on now

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.320
<v Speaker 2>and how the sport has been effectively turned upside down.

0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>We use the S and P plus a lot. Excuse me,

0:09:33.640 --> 0:09:39.600
<v Speaker 2>the SP plus. It's gone Facebook official with the SPN.

0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>We use this a lot as a good efficiency metric

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 2>and to get our per play data that we use

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 2>pretty frequently here on the show and we're trying to

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:51.520
<v Speaker 2>break down games and teams.

0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and it should be noted I think it was

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 1>UCF as the highest rated group of five program in

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 1>the spplus is. They sort of enter the top fifteen

0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>if you adjust for conferences who have announced their postponing, canceling,

0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:10.199
<v Speaker 1>whatever the twenty twenty season. So not unexpected with what

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>UCF seems to be returning, although they've lost some players

0:10:14.000 --> 0:10:17.280
<v Speaker 1>to opting out. Just the other thing I would note,

0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:19.959
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if you saw the ESPN piece from

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it's Paul Levine and Mark Schlebah in terms

0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of surveying schools that have given out or not given

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.640
<v Speaker 1>out testing data. Did you see this at all?

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.080
<v Speaker 2>I skimmed it, okay.

0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>So essentially a number of schools kind to me anyway,

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>an alarming number of schools just have not released information

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:44.120
<v Speaker 1>in terms of testing in positive cases, in protocol and

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>what happens when this happens, what happens when that happens,

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a number of major programs including Florida State, Miami, Notre

0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Dame only release football players, but not all sports. Ohio State, Oregon, Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Texas,

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.760
<v Speaker 1>A and M big programs have just sort of gone

0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>on what's happening within their athletic department, which is pretty

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>worry some. I know people point to privacy laws, but

0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.280
<v Speaker 1>that only applies to releasing specific names of people who

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have tested and tested positive, not just raw data. So

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I am hopeful that and I think I'm hopeful because

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the more positive and that means like upbeat not testing

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>positive things we can hear, the better we feel about

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.520
<v Speaker 1>where we're heading in terms of sports in the United States.

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully we have more transparency because that always seems

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>to be better.

0:11:32.280 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, more data, more data is a good thing, all right.

0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:40.079
<v Speaker 2>All right, that does it for news. Soliverbal at gmail

0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 2>dot com. If you have any thoughts on any of

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 2>the matters we discussed, We've gotten I think a lot

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 2>of thoughtful commentary from our verballer community about many of

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 2>the things that we've discussed. Now amid the pandemic, we

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 2>would always encourage you to write in and give us

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.360
<v Speaker 2>your thoughts. We do read through all of our email

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.640
<v Speaker 2>messages and always appreciate hearing from for ballers out there.

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:03.480
<v Speaker 2>So again it's sliverbletemail dot com all right.

0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it helps to characterize how we talk about

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 1>the sport and how we view the sport. So even

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:11.200
<v Speaker 1>if we don't answer your question or talk about your

0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:14.240
<v Speaker 1>email or whatever kind of message on a mailbag show,

0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>we like interacting.

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 2>I will play the mysterious sound again to kick things

0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 2>off here as we talk about the SEC. It is

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.040
<v Speaker 2>the third of our Power three this year entering the

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty college football season. We'll start this off the

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.960
<v Speaker 2>way we've been starting off all of our conference previous Dan,

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>give me your thirty thousand foot view, your high level

0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:46.000
<v Speaker 2>lingering thought as you did all the research on the SEC.

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.079
<v Speaker 2>What really jumped out to you. What kind of general

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 2>observations do you have about this conference?

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 1>There are no no brainers because they're just every team

0:12:57.559 --> 0:13:02.800
<v Speaker 1>seems to have a sizeable crater in the oh. That's

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:05.800
<v Speaker 1>definitely what this is, what this team is going to

0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>look like perception right now, even if it's a position group,

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>even if it's a side of a ball, there's no

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>no brainers of like, yes, this team is definitely going

0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:17.480
<v Speaker 1>to this going to do this amazingly well, and that's

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>sort of new. We've had a lot of programs within

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the SEC do specific things very well and being predictable,

0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:28.360
<v Speaker 1>so that to me is definitely new. And just the

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:33.040
<v Speaker 1>force of personalities that are entering the conference is fascinating

0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.439
<v Speaker 1>to me. Sorry, sorry, no, I continue. I'm going to

0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>set you up for it, but it's just going to

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>be fascinating what new coaches to the conference or coaches

0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>returning to the conference and their personalities or lack thereof,

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>or their experience or lack thereof as head coaches or

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:55.920
<v Speaker 1>coordinators is going to be super fun. Hopefully.

0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.559
<v Speaker 2>The influx of new personalities to me is what makes

0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>this the most interesting SEC season that I can remember

0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 2>in a while. You know, the addition of Mike Reach,

0:14:06.320 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 2>the addition of Lane Kiff, and we've got you know,

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Sam Pittman at Arkansas. Not quite the personality. I don't

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.560
<v Speaker 2>mean to imply he's on the level with those guys,

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 2>but you know, bringing a new flavor to Arkansas. And

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.040
<v Speaker 2>then obviously on the eastern side of the coin, we've

0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 2>got a guy like Eli Drinkwitz. I don't want to

0:14:27.160 --> 0:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>say it was a surprise that he got the Missouri job.

0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>He was named in the running for the Missouri job,

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 2>but definitely caught some of us off guard when a

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>young guy just thirty seven was given that that position.

0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 2>And we've got coordinators as well that I think will

0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:44.840
<v Speaker 2>put a unique spin on some of these programs too.

0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:49.000
<v Speaker 2>So I think that influx, that new wave of coaches

0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 2>that are entering the conference make it very very unique

0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 2>and interesting. And as we'll talk about as we go through,

0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:57.480
<v Speaker 2>some of these teams will lead off with LSU because

0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:03.000
<v Speaker 2>they won the National Freaking Championship. But the quarterback situation

0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:07.360
<v Speaker 2>around the SEC is very much in flux. It's it's

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 2>new in many cases, and it does provide a level

0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:16.320
<v Speaker 2>of intrigue that you know, I don't remember having all

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:16.960
<v Speaker 2>that recently.

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, by the way, you mentioned the coordinator or assistant

0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>coach in flux or just transfer influx. We are talking

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 1>about Scott Lenehan, Chad Morris, DJ Durkin, Kendall Briles, and

0:15:29.520 --> 0:15:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Barry odom as coordinators, Todd Monkin, Mike Bobo, and it

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of goes on and on in terms of transfers

0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of new names or names, switching teams within the SEC,

0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and certain grad transfer cases I'd love to start with lsu, Ty,

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:45.680
<v Speaker 1>what do you want to know about LSU?

0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to know who's still in Baton Rouge.

0:15:48.400 --> 0:15:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm a good question.

0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 2>And if they're gonna win a bunch of games, who

0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.600
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be leading the way Because there's so many

0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:00.560
<v Speaker 2>new faces on the too deep and on the staff

0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>for that matter, it would be a hell of a

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>job for ed Orgeron to get remotely close to where

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>he got last year, knowing there is so much turnover

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:12.320
<v Speaker 2>down there this coming season.

0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Totally, but I still think they're gonna be good. I

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>still think LC was going to be good. Obviously, they've

0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:21.160
<v Speaker 1>recruited so well. So Scott Linehan takes over for Joe

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>Brady as a co offensive coordinator, passing game coordinator Bo

0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Polini's back for like two million dollars, and they're switching

0:16:28.600 --> 0:16:30.760
<v Speaker 1>back to his four to three that he ran very

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>successfully in Baton Rouge. But yeah, the Miles Brennan question

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:38.000
<v Speaker 1>is relatively large because even if he's pretty good, that

0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>there's such a gigantic Joe Burrows size shadow at quarterback

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to feel like an enormous falloff wide

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.200
<v Speaker 1>receiver suddenly looks pretty thin, even though there's a ton

0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:52.920
<v Speaker 1>of talent there because of Jamar Chase opting out. So

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.600
<v Speaker 1>it's now the Terrass Marshall Show. And he was kind

0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of beat up last year, so hopefully he's able to

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.480
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy and become that true number one. I gotta

0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>tell you, I'm feeling pretty tingly about a gentleman with

0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>two first names, and that's Eric Gilbert. He is a

0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:13.040
<v Speaker 1>hybrid tight end receiver type of five star true freshmen,

0:17:13.560 --> 0:17:17.639
<v Speaker 1>and typically when stories come out about freshmen from camp

0:17:17.720 --> 0:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>that are like, Ooh, this guy's something else. This oh, buddy,

0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.719
<v Speaker 1>this guy's something else. Those are the stories that are

0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>coming out about him, and I'm quite excited to see

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.919
<v Speaker 1>how the Tigers end up using him on an offense

0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.120
<v Speaker 1>that desperately needs to replace a ton of playmakers. They're

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty good at running back. I expect them with a

0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:39.840
<v Speaker 1>new look offensive line, with certainly a new starting running back.

0:17:39.880 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I actually think they're going to lean on the run

0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.240
<v Speaker 1>game a little more because of the talent at running

0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:48.959
<v Speaker 1>back and fine receivers when necessary, but to get Miles

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Brennan more comfortable because he was only really in there

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:54.359
<v Speaker 1>in garbage time. He's been in the program for a while.

0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:57.879
<v Speaker 1>So what they will be led by, I think is

0:17:57.920 --> 0:18:01.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be defense, especially upfront. Even losing a top

0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>defensive act tackle to opting out in Tyler Shelvin, they

0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.200
<v Speaker 1>still have a ton of talent up the middle. They

0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.119
<v Speaker 1>have linebacker transfers and guys stepping in. Derek Stingley is

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:15.520
<v Speaker 1>probably the best cover corner in the country. Jacobe Stevens

0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>is back at safety. So it's going to be some

0:18:18.200 --> 0:18:21.440
<v Speaker 1>combination of new faces in the secondary making LSU look

0:18:21.480 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>like they haven't missed a beatback there, new faces somewhat upfront,

0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:30.400
<v Speaker 1>it'll be just a very very solid, you know, havocy

0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 1>defense under Bo Polini, and the running game appears to

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:36.480
<v Speaker 1>be what will lead the way until Miles Brennan is comfortable,

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:39.320
<v Speaker 1>perhaps three or four weeks in that. That's the way

0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at it. It's hard to see them doing

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.879
<v Speaker 1>better tie than splitting some of their hardest games. But

0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:50.680
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, you can't complain about anything LSU

0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 1>after what they put on tape last year.

0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Can we talk very quickly about the transition from Brady

0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 2>to Lenihan? Sure in your research? What are what are

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>people expecting there? What will look or feel different. Has

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.000
<v Speaker 2>there been any conjecture over that.

0:19:08.280 --> 0:19:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Nothing specific. You don't really know until you see it

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.720
<v Speaker 1>against live games, live action, live defenses. But ed Oorzaran

0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:18.040
<v Speaker 1>has had a pretty good eye for coaching talent and

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.919
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good eye for being hands off, which seems

0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to be huge for a head coach, saying Okay, I'm

0:19:23.800 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 1>just gonna trust you to do your things. Scott Lenihan

0:19:25.880 --> 0:19:28.360
<v Speaker 1>comes in with, you know, nobody's ever going to love

0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 1>an NFL coach by the time he's done in the NFL,

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:36.240
<v Speaker 1>But he is regarded as a smart dude. Not necessarily innovative,

0:19:36.280 --> 0:19:38.479
<v Speaker 1>but a smart dude. He's been around the league and

0:19:38.760 --> 0:19:40.680
<v Speaker 1>especially in the passing game, which is where he's going

0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:44.679
<v Speaker 1>to be operating. He's still pretty well regarded. The question is,

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, what does that look like when you don't

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:52.400
<v Speaker 1>have the complete explosion that was last year's LSU offense.

0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 1>So I don't imagine there are going to be fundamental differences,

0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.399
<v Speaker 1>but just maybe how they go about things and what

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the results look like, because they're going to be less.

0:20:02.920 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>That's going to be the most obvious thing. But I

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.639
<v Speaker 1>think the core ideology is not going to They're not

0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 1>going to start, you know, running Stanford like power. They're

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:12.880
<v Speaker 1>not going to start, you know, running an option. They're

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:14.879
<v Speaker 1>not going to start you know, becoming a like a

0:20:14.920 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 1>heavy zone read team anything like that. So I think

0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the core is going to remain very similar and it's

0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 1>the same offensive coordinator. It's still Steve Bensminger, So we're

0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.000
<v Speaker 1>not talking about an overhaul in the booth.

0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.480
<v Speaker 2>The final point on LSU again, I harken back to

0:20:28.520 --> 0:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>the sp plus that we mentioned during the news right now,

0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 2>this is not coronavirus aggested. They were thirteenth and based

0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:41.720
<v Speaker 2>on their ten games slate this fall, Bill Connolly's got

0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 2>them with an average wind total of six and a

0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:47.440
<v Speaker 2>half six and a half, So there are some tough

0:20:47.440 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 2>games on here. Obviously, they play in the SEC West,

0:20:49.680 --> 0:20:52.520
<v Speaker 2>so they're going to get games against Alabama and Texas

0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.360
<v Speaker 2>A and M. But they also draw Florida.

0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:57.199
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're in Gainesville.

0:20:57.600 --> 0:21:00.720
<v Speaker 2>It's not ideal in Gainesville, so there are plenty of

0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:05.480
<v Speaker 2>opportunities here to lose, and Bill is saying he expects

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.040
<v Speaker 2>him to lose a couple of those football games. We'll see,

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:09.040
<v Speaker 2>we'll see.

0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:12.639
<v Speaker 1>Paul Gravy at this point though, it's all just it

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:15.760
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. I mean, it does, but it doesn't all.

0:21:15.840 --> 0:21:16.920
<v Speaker 2>Right, where are we going next?

0:21:18.680 --> 0:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>We can go to the flip side because we already

0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:23.560
<v Speaker 1>mentioned Jamie Newman. I'd like to talk about Georgia and

0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:26.800
<v Speaker 1>what you see as the effect of that, the effect

0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of a new coordinator and just returning as much as

0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:34.360
<v Speaker 1>they do in a promising way. So I if I'm

0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:38.840
<v Speaker 1>going to drill down specifically, it's what is different? What

0:21:38.920 --> 0:21:41.760
<v Speaker 1>is different about this year's Georgia after so many successful years?

0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it has been a run of success, hasn't it.

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:50.440
<v Speaker 2>And Kirby Smart's done a really good job. The thing

0:21:50.560 --> 0:21:54.600
<v Speaker 2>that I was really drawn to in reading up on Georgia,

0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:57.639
<v Speaker 2>not just because of the Jamie Newman news, but the

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:03.680
<v Speaker 2>addition of Todd Monkin is is Monkein is particularly interesting

0:22:03.760 --> 0:22:06.959
<v Speaker 2>to me. Now he's going to be teamed up, presumably

0:22:06.960 --> 0:22:12.680
<v Speaker 2>with JT. Daniels. He's built some explosive offenses in his day.

0:22:12.800 --> 0:22:16.119
<v Speaker 2>He had a lot of success at Oklahoma State. For

0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of years, Munkin was in the NFL

0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:22.240
<v Speaker 2>with the Bucks. And you know, I don't want to oversimplify,

0:22:22.320 --> 0:22:24.320
<v Speaker 2>but as I said earlier, you're going to see more

0:22:24.320 --> 0:22:27.720
<v Speaker 2>downfield stuff. So the concept here with Monkin is that

0:22:27.720 --> 0:22:30.399
<v Speaker 2>he's going to open things up, and if you do

0:22:30.440 --> 0:22:32.600
<v Speaker 2>it right, you know that backs off the defense. It

0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 2>opens up more running lanes for guys like Samir White

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 2>and James Cook and everybody wins. When you've got the

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:43.119
<v Speaker 2>talent that Georgia has, you can implement a system like this,

0:22:43.359 --> 0:22:48.240
<v Speaker 2>hopefully pretty quickly and really unleash your athletes out there

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.080
<v Speaker 2>on the field. So kind of a no brainer for

0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Kirby Smart. Clearly, a lot of other teams around college

0:22:53.160 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 2>football have have gone in a direction that is a

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:58.760
<v Speaker 2>little bit more wide open, and when you've got these athletes,

0:22:58.760 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 2>it it makes sense to at least give it a go.

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:06.359
<v Speaker 2>The JT. Daniels news now in wlight of the Jamie

0:23:06.359 --> 0:23:09.720
<v Speaker 2>Newman news, is exciting for me because I really liked

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 2>what we saw of him at USC as a true

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.520
<v Speaker 2>freshman in twenty eighteen. Did you I did?

0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I did.

0:23:17.680 --> 0:23:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought he had a ton of potential. I was

0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:22.080
<v Speaker 2>hoping for big things last year, but he tore his

0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:23.800
<v Speaker 2>ACL right away and that was that.

0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. But I think he's got the arm strength. I

0:23:27.160 --> 0:23:31.080
<v Speaker 1>think he's got good mox good moxie, Dan, you and

0:23:31.119 --> 0:23:33.720
<v Speaker 1>your moxie, and I don't think you're going to find

0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 1>much better of a supporting cast than he's going to

0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.880
<v Speaker 1>have at Georgia. I do worry a little bit about.

0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:44.600
<v Speaker 2>The offensive line. They're losing four starters, especially taken in

0:23:44.640 --> 0:23:47.959
<v Speaker 2>tandem now with installing a new offense amid a pandemic,

0:23:48.640 --> 0:23:52.399
<v Speaker 2>that's dicey. But they have recruited so well up front

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and really across the board with the top class the

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.600
<v Speaker 2>last two cycles that it's hard to beat. Too too

0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:00.679
<v Speaker 2>worried things.

0:24:00.920 --> 0:24:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll be honest, I'm a little worried. Yeah, yeah, I

0:24:04.280 --> 0:24:06.600
<v Speaker 1>mean JT. Daniels coming in late obviously nobody had a

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.720
<v Speaker 1>full spring, so the fact that he didn't have anywhere

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:13.159
<v Speaker 1>near the reps on field. With a new coordinator, and

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:15.280
<v Speaker 1>it's a new look offensive line that should be talented,

0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a really strong receiving car. It's just it feels like

0:24:18.680 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>everything's going to be simplified. Everything has to come together

0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:22.800
<v Speaker 1>really quickly for that offense.

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I am a mindful of that. It's just so hard

0:24:27.440 --> 0:24:30.960
<v Speaker 2>to be really worried about a team with this much talent.

0:24:31.400 --> 0:24:34.400
<v Speaker 2>I did say a couple shows ago and we looked

0:24:34.400 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 2>at the AP Top twenty five that I thought Georgia

0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.199
<v Speaker 2>was a bit overrated. I would not put them that

0:24:39.480 --> 0:24:42.160
<v Speaker 2>high knowing that they've got this kind of turnover up front.

0:24:42.240 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 2>But you know, they're just they're loaded at the skill positions,

0:24:46.560 --> 0:24:49.800
<v Speaker 2>with Samir White and James Cook in the backfield and

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:53.560
<v Speaker 2>George Pickens and Demetrius robertson out wide. Unfortunately, I saw

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:58.120
<v Speaker 2>Dominic Playlock, another talented wide out retour his ACL about

0:24:58.160 --> 0:25:02.560
<v Speaker 2>a week ago, which that's but if this Monken system

0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:04.480
<v Speaker 2>works out, all these guys are going to have a

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:08.439
<v Speaker 2>huge statistical year. You take that in combination with the

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 2>defense that only loses three starters. It was a good

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 2>defense last year, a great defense. They're going to be

0:25:14.080 --> 0:25:17.040
<v Speaker 2>great again this year. So this is a very good

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Georgia team. It's a question of are they going to

0:25:19.920 --> 0:25:21.639
<v Speaker 2>win their side of the conference. Are they going to

0:25:21.680 --> 0:25:23.520
<v Speaker 2>win the conference as a whole and go to the playoff.

0:25:24.280 --> 0:25:28.919
<v Speaker 2>The schedule is front loaded, so they get Auburn, a

0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:32.960
<v Speaker 2>road tilt against Alabama in the Florida game, all before

0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:37.960
<v Speaker 2>the middle of November. We should know pretty quick where

0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 2>Georgia stands in this rejiggered college football race, but should

0:25:44.240 --> 0:25:46.960
<v Speaker 2>be another awesome year for the Dogs, to say the least.

0:25:48.000 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I just don't know. I remember JT. Daniels, and

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I remember liking the physical traits, but on the field

0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:56.280
<v Speaker 1>against the Pac twelve, mind you, as a true freshman

0:25:56.480 --> 0:26:00.440
<v Speaker 1>or whatever, he was the age of a regular freshody

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.280
<v Speaker 1>declared early from high school if you remember, he reclassified.

0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:08.160
<v Speaker 1>It just the results didn't really seem to be there.

0:26:08.200 --> 0:26:10.400
<v Speaker 1>The consistency didn't seem to be there in a way

0:26:10.440 --> 0:26:13.959
<v Speaker 1>where I got crazy excited about what the future holds,

0:26:14.080 --> 0:26:16.920
<v Speaker 1>but happy to be wrong. I just don't remember, even

0:26:16.960 --> 0:26:19.560
<v Speaker 1>in the way that Keidan Slovak with a different coordinator,

0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:23.560
<v Speaker 1>was able to succeed as Daniels hadn't. I don't know.

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he's fine.

0:26:26.160 --> 0:26:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I think I like him a little more than you,

0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:28.560
<v Speaker 2>but we can disagree.

0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you do, okaygree.

0:26:30.840 --> 0:26:38.359
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about Bama. Ever since Saban's like second year,

0:26:39.520 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 2>the defense in Tuscaloose has been lights out and incredibly

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:47.680
<v Speaker 2>consistent from year to year. Last year, though, they did

0:26:47.720 --> 0:26:51.080
<v Speaker 2>take a step back after a bunch of injuries, and

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 2>if that's all it was great, Should they again now

0:26:55.880 --> 0:26:59.240
<v Speaker 2>be a top three ish national defense? Coming out of

0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:00.439
<v Speaker 2>the injury.

0:27:00.520 --> 0:27:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Hayes, Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I mean that's the

0:27:06.840 --> 0:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>one thing that's really difficult to prepare for because you're

0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:12.520
<v Speaker 1>going to be forced to play either dudes who are

0:27:12.560 --> 0:27:15.800
<v Speaker 1>not fully capable or younger guys who are also not

0:27:15.800 --> 0:27:17.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be fully capable yet. And I think that's

0:27:17.960 --> 0:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>what Alabama was forced into. It's the thing that's tricky

0:27:22.240 --> 0:27:25.600
<v Speaker 1>ish to me is it's a pretty new secondary for Alabama.

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:28.440
<v Speaker 1>They return a couple corners, but largely it's new full

0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:31.479
<v Speaker 1>time secondary situation for the Tide. I'm not at all

0:27:31.520 --> 0:27:34.760
<v Speaker 1>worried about their offense. They actually weirdly enough, we talk

0:27:34.800 --> 0:27:38.119
<v Speaker 1>about the consistency of that defense, but they there's almost

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 1>no attrition among the coaching staff, aside from Scott Cochrane

0:27:42.960 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>who left for Georgia. Georgia transition thirty years ago is

0:27:47.560 --> 0:27:48.800
<v Speaker 1>what it feels like since.

0:27:48.600 --> 0:27:49.639
<v Speaker 2>That historic broke.

0:27:50.560 --> 0:27:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know when that happened in nineteen ninety three,

0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:56.359
<v Speaker 1>but it happened then, I'm pretty sure. So it's a

0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:58.920
<v Speaker 1>definite positive for both sides of the ball for Alabama.

0:27:58.960 --> 0:28:01.920
<v Speaker 1>But I think defensively, like Dylan Moses, you know, it's

0:28:02.080 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 1>it's going to make a sizeable difference just in getting

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:08.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody lined up, getting everybody's signals incorrectly. I think the

0:28:08.040 --> 0:28:10.040
<v Speaker 1>communication is going to be a lot stronger on that

0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball, and they're going to be able

0:28:12.520 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 1>to self diagnose what exactly went wrong better than most

0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:19.439
<v Speaker 1>teams are able to with that coaching staff. So in

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:22.560
<v Speaker 1>terms of top three, it also helps that Ohio State

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and Penn State and Wisconsin and you know out West

0:28:25.520 --> 0:28:28.159
<v Speaker 1>teams like Oregon aren't playing, so it's just easier to

0:28:28.240 --> 0:28:31.800
<v Speaker 1>be a top level defense statistically. So yeah, Alabama's going

0:28:31.840 --> 0:28:34.879
<v Speaker 1>to be there. The concern to me, I guess is

0:28:35.080 --> 0:28:37.439
<v Speaker 1>I imagine they're still going to be scoring pretty quickly.

0:28:37.480 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>They're loaded at running back. They probably have the best

0:28:39.880 --> 0:28:43.520
<v Speaker 1>receiver duo in the country, and Jalen Waddle and Devonte Smith.

0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.400
<v Speaker 1>They return a lot along the line at tight end.

0:28:46.680 --> 0:28:48.880
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if it's Mac Jones, We'll see if it's ooh,

0:28:48.880 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that's my phone ringing. We'll see if it's Mac Jones

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>or some sort of spelling with With Bryce Young, the

0:28:54.000 --> 0:28:56.640
<v Speaker 1>electric true freshman at quarterback, they're going to be fine.

0:28:56.640 --> 0:28:58.080
<v Speaker 1>They're going to put up a ton of points. I

0:28:58.160 --> 0:29:00.560
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they scored as quickly as they used to.

0:29:00.960 --> 0:29:03.680
<v Speaker 1>But I am not at all worried about Alabama's defense

0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:08.320
<v Speaker 1>bouncing back, because an only good defense, not excellent defense,

0:29:08.400 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 1>now feels like an aberration with what we've seen over

0:29:12.120 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 1>the last dozen years.

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.160
<v Speaker 2>What's the mac Jones offense look like.

0:29:17.080 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm guessing not all that it's not going to be

0:29:20.000 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 1>as crazy as the Toa offense, but it's going to

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:29.479
<v Speaker 1>be reliant on crazy amount of talent around him that

0:29:29.560 --> 0:29:34.960
<v Speaker 1>will make even pretty good performances look amazing. So I

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think they're going to mess with what has worked

0:29:37.360 --> 0:29:38.200
<v Speaker 1>so crazy.

0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think that's fair, and mac Jones is his

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:46.719
<v Speaker 2>floor is very high given the fault that there is

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:51.160
<v Speaker 2>such a supporting cast around him. So we'll see, but

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:55.280
<v Speaker 2>that will be an interesting story to follow for sure.

0:29:55.440 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 2>The wake of to a Tongue of Ioloa.

0:29:57.720 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>It's you look at their roster and you're like, oh,

0:30:00.120 --> 0:30:02.520
<v Speaker 1>so they've got a five star behind him, a five

0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.040
<v Speaker 1>star behind him. These are a bunch of guys who

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:08.320
<v Speaker 1>played a ton as rotation guys on the line who

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.840
<v Speaker 1>are all like crazy blue chips. Yeah, Obama is going

0:30:11.880 --> 0:30:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to be fine. They have George at home, they're on

0:30:14.480 --> 0:30:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the road at Tennessee, which I guess could be tricky.

0:30:17.280 --> 0:30:19.920
<v Speaker 1>We'll get into the balls. I'm sure shortly they're on

0:30:19.920 --> 0:30:22.840
<v Speaker 1>the road at LSU, but certainly an empty or empty

0:30:22.920 --> 0:30:26.239
<v Speaker 1>ish Tiger Stadium is a good time to be in

0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:28.800
<v Speaker 1>that situation. And they have the Iron Bowl at home,

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.360
<v Speaker 1>so you know, you have to feel for a scrappy

0:30:32.400 --> 0:30:35.000
<v Speaker 1>squad like Alabama when it all comes together like this.

0:30:35.440 --> 0:30:39.640
<v Speaker 2>A ragtag bunch of guys playing for love of the game.

0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Where do you want to go next?

0:30:42.160 --> 0:30:47.479
<v Speaker 1>I guess Florida. It's very strange. We made fun of

0:30:47.520 --> 0:30:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the velocity of Kyle Trask's throws, but not necessarily the

0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:55.600
<v Speaker 1>result of his throws, because he was a breakthrough last year.

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:58.080
<v Speaker 1>So he is something that I think we can say Yep,

0:30:58.160 --> 0:31:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Trask is an answer quarterback, which we don't have

0:31:01.040 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of these schools. Everything else on offense

0:31:05.480 --> 0:31:08.280
<v Speaker 1>seems like a question, the offensive line, the running game.

0:31:08.520 --> 0:31:11.240
<v Speaker 1>What is Is there reason to believe that Florida has

0:31:11.320 --> 0:31:17.400
<v Speaker 1>a more complete offense now that quarterback is is in check? Yeah?

0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:22.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Kyle Trask is probably the top returning quarterback

0:31:22.720 --> 0:31:25.600
<v Speaker 2>in all the sec which is crazy given the fact

0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:27.640
<v Speaker 2>that he didn't even play in high school in start

0:31:27.640 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 2>in high school and same, Yeah, what Dan Mullen was

0:31:32.080 --> 0:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>able to do and adjust this offense on the fly,

0:31:35.440 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 2>Well we'll talk about that in a little bit, hopefully,

0:31:38.600 --> 0:31:41.720
<v Speaker 2>But you know, the running game was kind of a

0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.480
<v Speaker 2>problem last year. Now when Michael p RAN's gone, he

0:31:45.560 --> 0:31:48.440
<v Speaker 2>was their leading rusher from a year ago, and I

0:31:48.440 --> 0:31:51.200
<v Speaker 2>guess that's a concern. The thing is that the rushing

0:31:51.240 --> 0:31:55.160
<v Speaker 2>game last year I think was largely a byproduct of

0:31:55.200 --> 0:31:59.240
<v Speaker 2>the offensive line. They just could not get anything going

0:31:59.280 --> 0:32:02.600
<v Speaker 2>to the extent that Dan Mullen eventually started just throwing

0:32:02.640 --> 0:32:05.440
<v Speaker 2>it more like, screw it, let's turn it over to

0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:07.920
<v Speaker 2>Kyle Trask, and he was very good on some of

0:32:07.920 --> 0:32:11.479
<v Speaker 2>the short and intermediate stuff. This year, They've got a

0:32:11.520 --> 0:32:14.520
<v Speaker 2>lot coming back up front. I think that situation has

0:32:14.600 --> 0:32:18.280
<v Speaker 2>to improve. We've got Damian Pierce who's going to take

0:32:18.360 --> 0:32:22.000
<v Speaker 2>over for p Ryan. The guy I'm watching is Lorenzo Lingard,

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 2>who transferred up from Miami. He won immediate eligibility, a

0:32:26.440 --> 0:32:29.640
<v Speaker 2>former five star guy. By the time all is said

0:32:29.680 --> 0:32:33.080
<v Speaker 2>and done, he could well be better than Pierce and

0:32:33.840 --> 0:32:36.400
<v Speaker 2>who else They got Malik Davis, another guy in the

0:32:36.760 --> 0:32:39.280
<v Speaker 2>running back room. I think there is a lot of

0:32:39.280 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 2>potential for that running game to really take hold as

0:32:42.720 --> 0:32:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the line gets better and hopefully balance out that offense.

0:32:48.480 --> 0:32:52.400
<v Speaker 2>I also think that year two of Kyle Trask and

0:32:52.520 --> 0:32:56.000
<v Speaker 2>a really solid passing game is going to take this

0:32:56.080 --> 0:32:59.200
<v Speaker 2>offense to an entirely different level. Like, even if it

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 2>balances out, having Trask in that system another year where

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.520
<v Speaker 2>he can get more comfortable, where Dan Mullen is not

0:33:05.600 --> 0:33:08.360
<v Speaker 2>just like pulling rabbits out of his hat on a

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:13.160
<v Speaker 2>weekly basis. It's gonna make that team better. His numbers

0:33:13.200 --> 0:33:18.160
<v Speaker 2>a year ago were awesome. They were outstanding. Yeah, Dan

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:21.600
<v Speaker 2>Mullen didn't have him out there bombing it though. It

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:24.720
<v Speaker 2>was really just being smart with the football. So if

0:33:24.720 --> 0:33:27.719
<v Speaker 2>the line improves, I think that makes more of that

0:33:27.880 --> 0:33:34.440
<v Speaker 2>downfield passing game a more attainable goal. Hopefully it means

0:33:34.480 --> 0:33:36.880
<v Speaker 2>fewer sacks because he took a fair share of those

0:33:37.000 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 2>last year. I just think there's a lot to love

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:43.640
<v Speaker 2>about this offensive setup, even in spite of what we

0:33:43.720 --> 0:33:45.600
<v Speaker 2>saw from the ground game last season.

0:33:45.720 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 1>That all makes sense, and I think the offensive line

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:52.959
<v Speaker 1>will get better and with Kyle Trask offers them a

0:33:53.000 --> 0:33:55.640
<v Speaker 1>certain degree of flexibility, he can move the ball a

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 1>little bit with his legs, and they have weapons at receiver.

0:33:59.520 --> 0:34:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm man, I'm excited by this Florida season.

0:34:02.720 --> 0:34:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I am too. They're my pick in the East. They

0:34:04.840 --> 0:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>really are hmm interesting.

0:34:07.880 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:34:08.320 --> 0:34:12.760
<v Speaker 2>The wide out situation is gonna be fun to watch.

0:34:12.800 --> 0:34:16.200
<v Speaker 2>I like Trevon Grimes, big kids, six'. FIVE i love

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 2>Big Kyle, pitts the pride and joy Of, Abington. Pennsylvania

0:34:20.800 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 2>is that?

0:34:21.080 --> 0:34:23.120
<v Speaker 1>True where Is? Abington that's a.

0:34:23.080 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 2>Little bit southy here down closer To.

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Philly, Okay i'm looking it up right.

0:34:27.719 --> 0:34:31.279
<v Speaker 2>Now depth should not be an issue out, wide and

0:34:31.760 --> 0:34:33.800
<v Speaker 2>let's be. Honest defense is again going to be a

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 2>strength of this. Team last year the seventh best defense

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:41.000
<v Speaker 2>according to the Sp. Plus this, Year Todd grantham has

0:34:41.080 --> 0:34:45.160
<v Speaker 2>a quasi retool on his hands with the pass rush

0:34:45.719 --> 0:34:49.680
<v Speaker 2>With Jonathan gernard And Jabari zanuga both. Gone but, again

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:52.960
<v Speaker 2>recruiting has been so. Strong there are other guys with

0:34:53.040 --> 0:34:55.359
<v Speaker 2>experience who can step in and make an, impact whether

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 2>It's Zachary carter Or Brenton, cox those guys of star.

0:34:58.800 --> 0:35:01.959
<v Speaker 2>Potential they've got a monster in the, middle and To Darryl.

0:35:02.080 --> 0:35:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Slayton you, know whatever attrition is out, there be It

0:35:06.640 --> 0:35:09.719
<v Speaker 2>David reese OR. Cj, henderson they just have a lot

0:35:09.719 --> 0:35:12.320
<v Speaker 2>of good depth that they could turn. To it sets

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:15.600
<v Speaker 2>up really well For Todd grantham to get another great

0:35:15.719 --> 0:35:20.120
<v Speaker 2>run here on. Defense the other and final component That

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:24.400
<v Speaker 2>i'll speak to is that for AN sec only, schedule

0:35:24.719 --> 0:35:25.840
<v Speaker 2>this is as good as it's going to.

0:35:25.880 --> 0:35:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Get oh, yeah.

0:35:28.120 --> 0:35:32.279
<v Speaker 2>AT a AND m and at home AGAINST lsu on

0:35:32.360 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 2>back to back weeks In, october that will be.

0:35:34.080 --> 0:35:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Tough mm.

0:35:35.239 --> 0:35:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Hm then they got the rivalry, game The Cocktail party

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Against georgia On november, seventh off of a, bye and like,

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:45.680
<v Speaker 2>otherwise maybe it's a road game Against tennessee to close

0:35:45.719 --> 0:35:49.440
<v Speaker 2>out the. Year but, like it sets up really. WELL

0:35:49.520 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 2>i think for The gators to run the table. HERE

0:35:51.960 --> 0:35:55.840
<v Speaker 2>i really like their chances this. Year. Wow, Yeah i'm feeling.

0:35:55.920 --> 0:35:56.800
<v Speaker 2>It i'm feeling ten AND o.

0:35:56.920 --> 0:36:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Baby, Okay i'm not going to present any sort of big.

0:36:00.640 --> 0:36:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Argument it's going to be. TOUGH i think all things

0:36:03.040 --> 0:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>considered with how new the season and what happens during

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the season is going to. Be but, yeah aside from

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:10.520
<v Speaker 1>what THEY'VE a AND m AND lsu and back to back.

0:36:10.560 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Weeks and that's sort of it in terms of like

0:36:13.400 --> 0:36:17.840
<v Speaker 1>definite huge challenges in back to back with the bye you,

0:36:17.840 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>know As georgia does as, well but especially nice year

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to have that buy before the game In. Jacksonville So

0:36:23.520 --> 0:36:25.319
<v Speaker 1>i'm not going to present a huge argument against. YOU

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.400
<v Speaker 1>i should note, though by the, way as you were,

0:36:27.440 --> 0:36:31.480
<v Speaker 1>SPEAKING i looked up food In, ABINGTON. Pa, yeah it

<v Speaker 1>to hit if you're in that GENERAL i don't know.

0:36:48.920 --> 0:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>What is it a? County is it a township? Area

0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:51.839
<v Speaker 1>that's Where i'm?

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Eating, yeah fun. Area, okay let's Talk. Auburn let's Talk.

0:36:56.000 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Auburn the offense last year was should we say the?

0:37:02.520 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 2>WORST i guess it was the worst of The malazon,

0:37:06.280 --> 0:37:10.200
<v Speaker 2>era and so he went out and Hired Chad morris

0:37:10.239 --> 0:37:13.319
<v Speaker 2>to take over the offense and play. Calling is that

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:16.399
<v Speaker 2>an immediate positive? Jolt is it more of an incremental.

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:19.840
<v Speaker 2>Thing starting, off how does you know how does the

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:23.640
<v Speaker 2>whole quarterback situation with your boy fit? In, like where

0:37:23.640 --> 0:37:26.600
<v Speaker 2>are we at here with this offensive retooling that my,

0:37:26.800 --> 0:37:30.239
<v Speaker 2>boy your, boy that Boy Bo, nicks your Boy Bo,

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:33.040
<v Speaker 2>nicks that That Gus malson is trying to.

0:37:33.120 --> 0:37:36.720
<v Speaker 1>INSTALL i mean they. DROPPED i think it was almost

0:37:36.800 --> 0:37:39.759
<v Speaker 1>fifty points On, alabama so in a, win in a

0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:43.200
<v Speaker 1>winning effort with that clever field goal kicking timeout, Situation

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:46.080
<v Speaker 1>so it can't. Be it might have been the worst

0:37:46.120 --> 0:37:48.880
<v Speaker 1>statistically and the worst in terms of consistency if you

0:37:48.920 --> 0:37:51.120
<v Speaker 1>look At oh, god what was the ugly? Game THE

0:37:51.160 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a AND m game was pretty, ugly even though they

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:55.160
<v Speaker 1>won that. Game you, know most of The oregon game

0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.279
<v Speaker 1>was pretty. Ugly In Bo nicks's first, game certainly The

0:37:57.280 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>florida game was. Atrocious there were low, lights for. SURE

0:38:02.239 --> 0:38:06.200
<v Speaker 1>i think what The Chad morris aspect of things is

0:38:06.239 --> 0:38:08.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be is essentially he is going to help

0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:10.799
<v Speaker 1>season the Gusmels on. OFFENSE i don't think He's Gus

0:38:10.880 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 1>malson is Handing morris a blank playbook and say start.

0:38:14.040 --> 0:38:16.919
<v Speaker 1>Drawing this is all on. YOU i don't think that's

0:38:16.920 --> 0:38:19.800
<v Speaker 1>what the situation is going to. Be but Because auburn

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:23.920
<v Speaker 1>is in a situation where we expect an improvement from

0:38:24.080 --> 0:38:26.320
<v Speaker 1>what WAS i think a very average to below Average

0:38:26.360 --> 0:38:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Bone nicks. Year at, times certainly there were. Highlights they

0:38:29.880 --> 0:38:31.440
<v Speaker 1>beat a couple of really good teams In oregon And,

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Alabama and you, KNOW i think even Losing Booby witlow

0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>is not going to be a huge deal because there

0:38:37.120 --> 0:38:39.279
<v Speaker 1>are options at running. Back they've got a ton of,

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:43.640
<v Speaker 1>experience Including Anthony, schwartz probably the fastest dude in college

0:38:43.680 --> 0:38:48.279
<v Speaker 1>football legit track speed because he runs. Track they're good at.

0:38:48.320 --> 0:38:52.879
<v Speaker 1>Receiver they're replacing a lot on the. Line, well they're

0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>replacing God An. FOS i guess they need to run

0:38:57.000 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 1>block a lot better than what they what they look

0:38:59.160 --> 0:39:03.680
<v Speaker 1>like last. Year i'm never going to doubt the modern

0:39:03.680 --> 0:39:06.880
<v Speaker 1>iteration of What auburn's defense has looked, like even losing

0:39:07.120 --> 0:39:10.279
<v Speaker 1>big names Like Derek brown And Marlon. Davidson they've recruited too,

0:39:10.320 --> 0:39:13.239
<v Speaker 1>well the system is too, Sound SO i think they

0:39:13.280 --> 0:39:16.600
<v Speaker 1>lost a linebacker to opting. Out but even, still even

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:20.840
<v Speaker 1>with a really new look, secondary the benefit of the

0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:23.920
<v Speaker 1>doubt exists for me With Kevin steele and that defense

0:39:24.640 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 1>and the schedule is pretty. Good they GET lcu And

0:39:26.680 --> 0:39:28.960
<v Speaker 1>tennessee at, home they're on the road Against george and

0:39:29.000 --> 0:39:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that rivalry, game and they're on the road Against alabama

0:39:31.800 --> 0:39:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and The Iron. Bowl but all things, CONSIDERED i Think

0:39:34.960 --> 0:39:37.200
<v Speaker 1>auburn's going to be in a good place given how

0:39:37.320 --> 0:39:40.160
<v Speaker 1>much change there is within the division and the. Conference,

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:43.960
<v Speaker 1>so you, know seven and three type season for The,

0:39:44.000 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>TIGERS i think feels about right to. ME i don't,

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>know what do you?

0:39:46.600 --> 0:39:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Think, Yeah Bill, Connolly i'm looking at his again average

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:53.720
<v Speaker 2>wins based on fall. Schedule he's got him at six point.

0:39:53.800 --> 0:39:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Two, okay WELL i got to take the.

0:39:56.000 --> 0:39:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Over, yeah which feels about. RIGHT i think a Pretty

0:40:00.360 --> 0:40:02.719
<v Speaker 2>auburn this. YEAR i will like the move to go

0:40:02.760 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 2>out and Get Chad. MORRIS i like THE i don't

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:08.319
<v Speaker 2>know the possibility of that freshening things. UP i still

0:40:08.360 --> 0:40:11.000
<v Speaker 2>think Bo nix has a ton of. Potential MAYBE i

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:14.160
<v Speaker 2>was too bullish on him last year and his freshman,

0:40:14.280 --> 0:40:17.960
<v Speaker 2>year BUT i JUST i see something There. DAN i

0:40:17.960 --> 0:40:21.360
<v Speaker 2>see the glimmer in his eye as a, legacy and.

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 1>Is the glimmer in his eye the deer in the?

0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Headlights is that the glimmering, okay because there were those

0:40:27.760 --> 0:40:30.000
<v Speaker 1>moments last, year there were for sure those, moments but

0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:32.959
<v Speaker 1>he rose to a couple of enormous occasions to book

0:40:33.040 --> 0:40:35.879
<v Speaker 1>end the. SEASON i will also, add AND i don't

0:40:35.880 --> 0:40:37.239
<v Speaker 1>know how much of a difference this will, make but

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:39.399
<v Speaker 1>they're very high on a young running back Named Tank.

0:40:39.440 --> 0:40:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Bigsby is that the guy from The matrix who's in

0:40:42.680 --> 0:40:43.920
<v Speaker 2>The Nebby. KINEZER i have no.

0:40:44.000 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Idea Maybe Tank. Bigsby. Uh AND i saw that one

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:50.919
<v Speaker 1>of the linemen stepping in in front of what could

0:40:51.000 --> 0:40:54.399
<v Speaker 1>be starting running back To Tank bigsby is Named Brodarius.

0:40:54.440 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Ham so we do have the opportunity for A ham,

0:40:58.560 --> 0:41:01.719
<v Speaker 1>tank A ham. Tend if it comes to, fruition there

0:41:01.760 --> 0:41:04.719
<v Speaker 1>will be A ham tank Or ham. Tanker sound that's

0:41:04.719 --> 0:41:08.840
<v Speaker 1>all we got ham sandwich. Potential oh that's. True you

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:12.000
<v Speaker 1>can do a lot with hams and, TANKS i mean

0:41:12.200 --> 0:41:14.799
<v Speaker 1>ham pancakes because it's on the.

0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:17.239
<v Speaker 2>Line, Yes, yeah we're gonna have fun with, this aren't. We?

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah we are. ABSOLUTELY i want to talk About. Tennessee

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:24.920
<v Speaker 1>if that's okay with, You tie? Please is it okay with? You,

0:41:25.080 --> 0:41:27.439
<v Speaker 1>yeah let's do. It i'm trying to figure these things.

0:41:27.440 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Out weirdly, enough even with a ton of. Experience last

0:41:33.200 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 1>year not a great offensive, year especially with how they started.

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:41.400
<v Speaker 1>Out we love celebrating the tennisance Of november and, beyond

0:41:41.560 --> 0:41:44.239
<v Speaker 1>but it was a it was a pretty Ugly september

0:41:44.280 --> 0:41:49.880
<v Speaker 1>that characterized that Offense september to, Remember yeah or? Not

0:41:51.680 --> 0:41:54.560
<v Speaker 1>what does what does improvement look? Like is it have

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:58.000
<v Speaker 1>to be Post? Guarantano because Good Jared garantano was really,

0:41:58.040 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 1>fun but a, MAN i don't. Know they're replacing a

0:42:01.719 --> 0:42:07.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of. Pieces do you see a New Luck tennessee

0:42:07.440 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 1>offense in what is a year two Of Jim. Cheney?

0:42:11.000 --> 0:42:16.239
<v Speaker 2>YEAH i think there is a path to, improvement but

0:42:16.320 --> 0:42:17.320
<v Speaker 2>it's not an obvious.

0:42:17.400 --> 0:42:19.239
<v Speaker 1>Path, Okay.

0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Jared garantano is. Back he plays, Hard he's had some.

0:42:25.520 --> 0:42:27.640
<v Speaker 2>Moments he was a warrior last. Year he was a

0:42:27.640 --> 0:42:31.200
<v Speaker 2>warrior last. Year he played, hard but he's still too.

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:35.880
<v Speaker 2>Inconsistent the running game was very underwhelming this. Year the

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:41.320
<v Speaker 2>receiving corps loses Both Juwan jennings And Marquez, callaway which

0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.440
<v Speaker 2>comes to like sixteen hundred yards and fourteen. Touchdowns so

0:42:44.440 --> 0:42:46.560
<v Speaker 2>there's a, lot a lot that they need to try

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:50.120
<v Speaker 2>and figure out. HERE i guess the reason for optimism

0:42:51.000 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 2>is that they should have a really good line that

0:42:54.640 --> 0:42:58.440
<v Speaker 2>is strong and experienced on the interior and younger but

0:42:58.480 --> 0:43:03.160
<v Speaker 2>still really talented outside at tackle both tackle. Positions they

0:43:03.160 --> 0:43:05.880
<v Speaker 2>did get some bad news recently when they decided that

0:43:05.920 --> 0:43:09.240
<v Speaker 2>they weren't going to grant immediate eligibility To Cade, mays

0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:12.839
<v Speaker 2>who transferred up From. Georgia they really thought they were

0:43:12.840 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 2>going to win that. Waiver they still could on. APPEAL

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:20.160
<v Speaker 2>i think they feel optimistic about, that but it's an open.

0:43:20.239 --> 0:43:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Question.

0:43:21.080 --> 0:43:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Regardless the lines very. GOOD i think the combination of

0:43:25.080 --> 0:43:28.200
<v Speaker 2>that line with year or two Of Jim cheney should

0:43:28.200 --> 0:43:31.359
<v Speaker 2>hopefully get more out of the ground game and give

0:43:31.480 --> 0:43:35.240
<v Speaker 2>some ground support To guarantano because he just he needs

0:43:35.239 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 2>some help on. Offense they know that they need to improve.

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 2>IT i think they'll see a second year bump out

0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:44.719
<v Speaker 2>Of cheney and specifically with that line makes. Sense i'm

0:43:44.760 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 2>excited about this team, defensively though defensively they came on

0:43:49.120 --> 0:43:51.959
<v Speaker 2>like a freight train in the second half of last.

0:43:51.960 --> 0:43:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Season they only lose three. Guys it's a big, three big,

0:43:56.640 --> 0:44:02.080
<v Speaker 2>three BUT i just feel like as a whole they

0:44:02.080 --> 0:44:05.200
<v Speaker 2>were so young last. Year i'm encouraged by the way

0:44:05.239 --> 0:44:08.480
<v Speaker 2>they closed out the. Season Jeremy, prue it's a defensive.

0:44:08.520 --> 0:44:13.279
<v Speaker 2>Coach he's going to have them coached, up especially when

0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:16.440
<v Speaker 2>you look at what happened last. Season consider for a

0:44:16.520 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 2>second the circumstances last. YEAR i will eight and five

0:44:21.800 --> 0:44:25.759
<v Speaker 2>eight and, five but started one and four with back

0:44:25.800 --> 0:44:29.120
<v Speaker 2>to back losses To Georgia state AND byu on a

0:44:29.200 --> 0:44:33.799
<v Speaker 2>soul Crushing Hail. Mary that's their first two. Games they

0:44:33.840 --> 0:44:35.960
<v Speaker 2>start one and, four they go six and one the

0:44:36.000 --> 0:44:37.839
<v Speaker 2>rest of the way and then win the bowl game Over.

0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Indiana that's a nice rally For pruet with a really young.

0:44:42.120 --> 0:44:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Team i've said it the last two. Seasons they play,

0:44:45.800 --> 0:44:49.520
<v Speaker 2>hungry and whenever you close out strong the way they,

0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:53.319
<v Speaker 2>DID i think you have to feel optimistic about What

0:44:53.400 --> 0:44:55.160
<v Speaker 2>tennessee stands to gain now in twenty.

0:44:55.200 --> 0:44:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Twenty by the, WAY i liked Watching henry To Oto

0:44:57.920 --> 0:44:59.919
<v Speaker 1>oh and not just BECAUSE i like saying his. Name

0:45:00.040 --> 0:45:03.160
<v Speaker 1>he WAS i thought it was too too is?

0:45:03.239 --> 0:45:07.799
<v Speaker 2>IT i have it phonetically spelled here to oh too to.

0:45:08.120 --> 0:45:10.960
<v Speaker 1>To, okay there we. Are but he was, fun, nonetheless

0:45:11.000 --> 0:45:14.279
<v Speaker 1>regardless of HOW i mispronounced his. Name, yeah and at

0:45:14.320 --> 0:45:18.200
<v Speaker 1>the linebacker, POSITION i think he is going to be

0:45:18.320 --> 0:45:21.040
<v Speaker 1>leading the. Charge the linebacking corps really is the open

0:45:21.120 --> 0:45:25.439
<v Speaker 1>question For tennessee this, season SO i want to see

0:45:25.440 --> 0:45:28.359
<v Speaker 1>what he can do. Again the defense was young last.

0:45:28.400 --> 0:45:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Year they stand to gain a. LOT i think can

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:33.719
<v Speaker 1>make great strides even in spite of a really good

0:45:33.760 --> 0:45:34.480
<v Speaker 1>campaign last.

0:45:34.520 --> 0:45:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Year the schedule is spaced. Out it's, rough but it's

0:45:38.520 --> 0:45:42.600
<v Speaker 2>spaced out. Enough they've Got georgia on the, Road they've

0:45:42.640 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 2>Got bama at, Home they've GOT a AND m at.

0:45:45.080 --> 0:45:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Home they've Got auburn the very next week on the,

0:45:47.680 --> 0:45:51.719
<v Speaker 2>road and then there's A florida. Game there are some

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:55.359
<v Speaker 2>potential letdown spots on this schedule Against, kentucky Who i'm

0:45:55.880 --> 0:45:58.479
<v Speaker 2>supremely interested in more than any OTHER Sec east.

0:45:58.480 --> 0:46:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Team, OH i, mean that's a sandwich right, there, right

0:46:00.520 --> 0:46:01.760
<v Speaker 1>it's Between george And, alabama.

0:46:02.840 --> 0:46:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Right AND i also Put vandy down here just TO i,

0:46:06.120 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 2>think be nice To vandy because the game's on the,

0:46:08.200 --> 0:46:08.520
<v Speaker 2>road but.

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Probably not going to lose that. One not a far

0:46:12.160 --> 0:46:14.319
<v Speaker 1>trip From knoxville To. Nashville not a far.

0:46:14.400 --> 0:46:17.600
<v Speaker 2>TRIP i could see like a four and six or

0:46:17.680 --> 0:46:20.920
<v Speaker 2>five and five season where the win loss record is

0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:23.959
<v Speaker 2>not at all indicative of the strides this team. Makes

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:28.520
<v Speaker 2>it's just THE sec is very, good as it always,

0:46:28.680 --> 0:46:31.279
<v Speaker 2>is and THE Sec east as a whole has. Improved

0:46:31.520 --> 0:46:35.120
<v Speaker 2>So i'm less worried about the final, record AND i

0:46:35.200 --> 0:46:37.200
<v Speaker 2>Think i'm going to be tuned, in especially to see

0:46:37.280 --> 0:46:41.400
<v Speaker 2>how some of these individual position groups on offense improved

0:46:41.400 --> 0:46:42.040
<v Speaker 2>through the course of the.

0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Year can they Split, Georgia, Alabama, Auburn? Florida can they

0:46:46.800 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 1>go two and two in? Those are they at that

0:46:49.600 --> 0:46:54.640
<v Speaker 1>level if they are playing to on average eighty eight

0:46:54.800 --> 0:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>percent of their? Capability georgia on the, Road alabama at,

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:03.680
<v Speaker 1>Home auburn on the, Road florida at.

0:47:03.719 --> 0:47:06.759
<v Speaker 2>HOME i don't think.

0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:10.160
<v Speaker 1>SO i think making percentage chance they can. Split is

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.719
<v Speaker 1>there a ten percent chance they can? Split give me the?

0:47:13.840 --> 0:47:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Tie odds mind fifteen? PERCENT i put it like twenty.

0:47:18.680 --> 0:47:21.000
<v Speaker 2>FIVE i THINK i just don't see. IT i want

0:47:21.040 --> 0:47:23.200
<v Speaker 2>to believe. IT I i like This tennessee team a.

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:27.640
<v Speaker 2>LOT i like their, heart but there's just so MUCH

0:47:27.680 --> 0:47:30.080
<v Speaker 2>ammo in THE. Sec george And bam are going to be.

0:47:30.120 --> 0:47:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Good FLORIDA i think is going to potentially win the.

<v Speaker 2>had is where are they going to be at now

0:48:40.360 --> 0:48:43.840
<v Speaker 2>in THE Sec east pecking order after Losing Lynn Boden

0:48:43.920 --> 0:48:48.400
<v Speaker 2>junior from a year, ago because you know he's in THE. Nfl.

0:48:48.520 --> 0:48:53.200

0:48:53.280 --> 0:48:57.600
<v Speaker 2>kentucky's quarterbacks got knocked. Out Mark steuts basically said, It,

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:02.120

0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:10.239
<v Speaker 2>junior finished with nearly fifteen hundred rushing. Yards he had

0:49:10.320 --> 0:49:13.160
<v Speaker 2>thirteen rushing, touchdowns about eight and a half per, carry

0:49:14.000 --> 0:49:18.680
<v Speaker 2>and he was freaking. Amazing it looked like an incredibly

0:49:18.800 --> 0:49:22.640
<v Speaker 2>prophetic move to just go hard in the direction of

0:49:22.680 --> 0:49:25.839
<v Speaker 2>their best. Athlete and what's interesting is if you kind

0:49:25.880 --> 0:49:28.400
<v Speaker 2>of synthesize this down and look at What Mark stoops

0:49:28.440 --> 0:49:31.200
<v Speaker 2>has done over the course of his time At, kentucky

0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:35.279
<v Speaker 2>it really has been a story of extreme. Adaptability. YEAH

0:49:36.200 --> 0:49:38.040
<v Speaker 2>i talked about it a little bit With virginia And

0:49:38.120 --> 0:49:39.359
<v Speaker 2>Bronco mendenhall in the last.

0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Episode But.

0:49:42.160 --> 0:49:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Stoops has been really good at fun in his best

0:49:44.120 --> 0:49:47.279
<v Speaker 2>offensive weapon and just building the entire plane out of.

0:49:47.320 --> 0:49:49.439
<v Speaker 1>It, yes he has been.

0:49:49.880 --> 0:49:52.200
<v Speaker 2>Right in a way that. Works last year With boden

0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:55.560
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a funhouse mirror version of, that, right

0:49:55.600 --> 0:49:57.680
<v Speaker 2>but it was, working and it was so damn.

0:49:57.760 --> 0:50:01.319
<v Speaker 1>Fun CAN i tell You i'm still a little bit

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:03.520
<v Speaker 1>bitter That oregon couldn't find a way to do this

0:50:03.680 --> 0:50:08.400
<v Speaker 1>in the second half AGAINST tcu in The, Lobile like we, clearly,

0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:12.600
<v Speaker 1>yeah are watching a, Team yeah that can't figure out a.

0:50:12.719 --> 0:50:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback so let's just get A i know they Had Braylan,

0:50:15.480 --> 0:50:17.560
<v Speaker 1>addison who was like a high school option, Quarterback, like

0:50:17.800 --> 0:50:20.040
<v Speaker 1>what are we? Doing what are we? Doing we've seen three?

0:50:20.160 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 1>Series is, SORRY i have, Digressed please go back To.

0:50:22.719 --> 0:50:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky the pain is still.

0:50:24.000 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 2>Real the pain is still. Real all? Right, well LIKE i,

0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:28.320
<v Speaker 2>said Lin Bowden junior he's in the league. Now But

0:50:28.400 --> 0:50:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Terry Wilson junior's back at. Quarterback he's recovered from his

0:50:32.520 --> 0:50:36.440
<v Speaker 2>torn pateller. Tendon brutal injury for a guy who was

0:50:36.520 --> 0:50:39.480
<v Speaker 2>like universally, Loved so it's good that he's. Back it

0:50:39.560 --> 0:50:42.160
<v Speaker 2>sounds like he's been running really. Well in the build

0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:46.040
<v Speaker 2>up to this. Season they also got a transfer From Joey,

0:50:46.120 --> 0:50:49.680
<v Speaker 2>gatewood who comes up from Albert now this is this

0:50:49.880 --> 0:50:52.800
<v Speaker 2>is kind of a developing. Story they are still waiting

0:50:53.200 --> 0:50:57.080
<v Speaker 2>to find out on his. Eligibility THE ncaa has taken

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:00.759
<v Speaker 2>its sweet time here and that's an issue Because gatewood's

0:51:00.960 --> 0:51:03.640
<v Speaker 2>a big. Dude they could definitely find a way to

0:51:04.520 --> 0:51:07.200
<v Speaker 2>get him on the, field And i'm sure he could

0:51:07.200 --> 0:51:09.319
<v Speaker 2>snake his way into some playing time with his. Frame

0:51:09.400 --> 0:51:11.680
<v Speaker 2>they could find a way to use that skill. Set

0:51:12.239 --> 0:51:13.960
<v Speaker 2>so we're just going to have to push pause there

0:51:14.040 --> 0:51:17.399
<v Speaker 2>and see what eventually comes of. It WHAT i find

0:51:17.520 --> 0:51:20.880
<v Speaker 2>really interesting and it's maybe not the sexiest, thing but

0:51:21.080 --> 0:51:23.839
<v Speaker 2>given all that adaptability THAT i talked, about and how

0:51:23.880 --> 0:51:26.240
<v Speaker 2>they Use Lynn, boden how they might Use Kerry, wilson

0:51:26.400 --> 0:51:31.359
<v Speaker 2>and the strength of this team is the. Line four

0:51:31.480 --> 0:51:34.880
<v Speaker 2>starters are. Back they're really good, upfront one of the

0:51:34.960 --> 0:51:38.080
<v Speaker 2>best lines in all THE. SEC i think we'll see

0:51:38.120 --> 0:51:40.200
<v Speaker 2>a really nice focus on the ground game this year

0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:44.600
<v Speaker 2>with A seamrose And Cavasier Smoke Christopher, rodriguez, like they

0:51:44.640 --> 0:51:48.680
<v Speaker 2>can find a really good way to milk this rushing

0:51:48.760 --> 0:51:52.799
<v Speaker 2>attack and offensive line for all its. Worth If Mark

0:51:52.840 --> 0:51:55.520
<v Speaker 2>stoops is gonna do any kind of adaptable things this,

0:51:55.680 --> 0:51:58.080
<v Speaker 2>year it's gonna it's going to pertain to the ground.

0:51:58.120 --> 0:52:01.759
<v Speaker 2>Game the defense should be really good as. Well they've

0:52:01.800 --> 0:52:07.440
<v Speaker 2>got experience at all three, levels, front, middle. Back the schedule's,

0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:08.880
<v Speaker 2>brutal IT'S i.

0:52:08.920 --> 0:52:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Was gonna, say we have A i, mean we can

0:52:12.600 --> 0:52:14.359
<v Speaker 1>save the sound if you, want but there's a that's

0:52:14.360 --> 0:52:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a snake in the Toilet September.

0:52:15.960 --> 0:52:20.479
<v Speaker 2>October, yeah the snake and the toilet At auburn open

0:52:20.560 --> 0:52:23.759
<v Speaker 2>the year all Miss Mississippi, state both at home At,

0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee georgia at home At bama At florida back to back.

0:52:28.200 --> 0:52:33.680
<v Speaker 2>Weeks yep. AGAIN I i struggle to kind of measure

0:52:33.800 --> 0:52:36.600
<v Speaker 2>the success of this season with a win loss. RECORD

0:52:37.400 --> 0:52:40.880
<v Speaker 2>i JUST i really enjoyed What stoops did last. Year

0:52:40.920 --> 0:52:43.719
<v Speaker 2>With Lynn Bowden. JR i think he's got a fun

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:46.160
<v Speaker 2>cast of characters coming. Back he's got a really good,

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:49.120
<v Speaker 2>line a good. Defense i'd love to see him pull

0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:51.840
<v Speaker 2>an upset or. TWO i think it's. Possible but if nothing,

0:52:51.880 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 2>ELSE i just like this. Team i'm very interested to

0:52:55.000 --> 0:52:55.680
<v Speaker 2>see how they do this.

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:58.960
<v Speaker 1>SEASON i think it's Actually Twin. Snakes by the, Way

0:52:59.120 --> 0:52:59.239
<v Speaker 1>is it?

0:52:59.280 --> 0:52:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Twins?

0:53:01.400 --> 0:53:03.080
<v Speaker 1>No, NO i don't think in the, sound but on

0:53:03.160 --> 0:53:06.279
<v Speaker 1>their schedule because they have The mississippi schools back to, back,

0:53:06.400 --> 0:53:09.520
<v Speaker 1>RIGHT i want to say those are The Twin? Snakes

0:53:09.719 --> 0:53:11.920
<v Speaker 1>is that a video? Game was there A Twin Snak

0:53:12.040 --> 0:53:15.560
<v Speaker 1>snakes video. Game i'm almost positive there. Was maybe there's

0:53:15.560 --> 0:53:18.239
<v Speaker 1>a soundtrack that we can. Steal BUT i think that's

0:53:18.320 --> 0:53:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the real challenge there For kentucky is. THAT i, mean

0:53:21.480 --> 0:53:23.560
<v Speaker 1>you played the sound more times than we probably should.

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:27.880
<v Speaker 1>Have but, man that opening salvo is there are.

0:53:27.960 --> 0:53:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Fangs there are, fangs for, sure there are. Fangs all,

0:53:31.239 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 2>right talk to me about Am is that your question

0:53:37.280 --> 0:53:39.160

<v Speaker 2>year and The Too deep has now gone and gotten

0:53:48.840 --> 0:53:53.000
<v Speaker 2>Its Jimbo fisher. Makeover like it looks a lot more

0:53:53.120 --> 0:53:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Like Jimbo fisher was hoping to build what should click

0:53:58.400 --> 0:54:02.759
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty that hasn't consistently clicked to this. Point

0:54:02.800 --> 0:54:03.880
<v Speaker 2>does that make? Sense you know WHAT i? Mean?

0:54:04.960 --> 0:54:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah for. SURE i mean the schedule was rough and

0:54:06.880 --> 0:54:08.920
<v Speaker 1>they've they had these they had. Moments did he just get,

0:54:08.960 --> 0:54:11.840
<v Speaker 1>married by the, way very, Quietly Jimbo? Fisher like last?

0:54:11.880 --> 0:54:14.319
<v Speaker 1>WEEK i think he. DID i think he got very.

0:54:14.440 --> 0:54:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Quietly is this like when he got hair very? Mysteriously

0:54:18.040 --> 0:54:21.040
<v Speaker 1>that wasn't that was. Mysteriously that wasn't, quietly that was

0:54:21.120 --> 0:54:24.800
<v Speaker 1>it became very. Obvious but congratulations To Jimbo fisher and his.

0:54:24.880 --> 0:54:28.520
<v Speaker 1>FAMILY i suppose everybody's happy and excited for a new.

0:54:28.600 --> 0:54:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Love that's. Great what's going to click that didn't? CLICK

0:54:35.320 --> 0:54:39.000
<v Speaker 1>i think it's going to be largely, rooted hopefully on,

0:54:39.200 --> 0:54:42.920
<v Speaker 1>defense because, well, okay SO i shouldn't fully say that

0:54:42.960 --> 0:54:45.319
<v Speaker 1>because They're november was really. Promising if you throw out

0:54:45.360 --> 0:54:48.040
<v Speaker 1>THE lsu, game which, please if you're AN a AND

0:54:48.120 --> 0:54:50.759
<v Speaker 1>m fan and you already, haven't please throw, out throw

0:54:50.760 --> 0:54:52.840
<v Speaker 1>it out fifty to, seven throw it out because the

0:54:52.920 --> 0:54:55.640
<v Speaker 1>games surrounding that, game The bowl, game and the rest

0:54:55.640 --> 0:54:57.920
<v Speaker 1>of Their november and how impressive they were Against, georgia

0:54:58.800 --> 0:55:02.120
<v Speaker 1>it was all really. Couraging SO i think that should.

0:55:02.320 --> 0:55:04.760
<v Speaker 1>CONTINUE i know they lost a starting quarter two opting

0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Out Elijah blade's A jc transfer who played last, year

0:55:08.080 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 1>but with what they look like on, defense they should

0:55:11.160 --> 0:55:14.840
<v Speaker 1>be stout up, front linebackers should be. Good THEY i

0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:17.560
<v Speaker 1>think they'll continue to improve and the depth is. There

0:55:17.600 --> 0:55:19.879
<v Speaker 1>AND i Love mike ELKO i JUST i, Mean i'm

0:55:19.960 --> 0:55:21.839
<v Speaker 1>sure you do as, well and you miss him a little.

0:55:21.880 --> 0:55:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Bit he is a really strong defensive. Coordinator and so

0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:29.200
<v Speaker 1>even though they had guys step up on offense last

0:55:29.280 --> 0:55:32.280
<v Speaker 1>year with injuries to running. Backs now it's An Isaiah

0:55:32.320 --> 0:55:35.480
<v Speaker 1>spiller A Nya smith situation at running back And Kellen,

0:55:35.560 --> 0:55:39.200
<v Speaker 1>mond who even forget how long he started at quarterback

0:55:39.320 --> 0:55:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and some of the steps forward he's taken really impressive

0:55:43.040 --> 0:55:45.760
<v Speaker 1>as just a human being this offseason off the field

0:55:45.920 --> 0:55:48.759
<v Speaker 1>in terms of speaking up on behalf of himself and

0:55:48.800 --> 0:55:50.600
<v Speaker 1>his teammates In TEXAS a AND m and the campus

0:55:50.640 --> 0:55:54.680
<v Speaker 1>thereof just really impressive. Guy So i'm hoping that sort

0:55:54.719 --> 0:55:57.880
<v Speaker 1>of maturity and leadership moves its way to the football

0:55:57.920 --> 0:55:59.680
<v Speaker 1>field for the sake of a Fun TEXAS a AND m,

0:55:59.760 --> 0:56:04.080
<v Speaker 1>team because they're promising at receiver these not behind a great.

0:56:04.120 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 1>Line they got him sacked a little bit too, much

0:56:06.239 --> 0:56:10.400
<v Speaker 1>But i'm. Encouraged i'm. ENCOURAGED i don't know Where Kellen

0:56:10.480 --> 0:56:13.640
<v Speaker 1>mond now falls in the quarterback pecking, order but between

0:56:13.760 --> 0:56:17.880
<v Speaker 1>his own defense and, receivers the thing that should click is.

0:56:18.080 --> 0:56:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Defense now in what year three Of Mike elco and

0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:24.440
<v Speaker 1>just the fact that they don't have a murderer's. Row

0:56:24.719 --> 0:56:27.600
<v Speaker 1>it WAS i know the're At baman and At, auburn

0:56:27.680 --> 0:56:29.840
<v Speaker 1>but they Have florida AND lsu at. Home it's a you,

0:56:29.920 --> 0:56:32.600
<v Speaker 1>know they don't Have clemson as a non conference team

0:56:32.640 --> 0:56:35.040
<v Speaker 1>that's great in terms of a win loss, record and

0:56:35.120 --> 0:56:38.400
<v Speaker 1>that there is no non Conference so that's what's clicking to,

0:56:38.480 --> 0:56:42.640
<v Speaker 1>me that combination of running, back defense and just the

0:56:42.760 --> 0:56:45.919
<v Speaker 1>fact that these are mostly all even Though Kellen mond

0:56:46.000 --> 0:56:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Isn't jimbo.

0:56:47.040 --> 0:56:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Players what chance do we Give TEXAS a AND m

0:56:52.239 --> 0:56:58.479
<v Speaker 2>of getting into the top two of THE Sec West

0:56:58.560 --> 0:57:02.319
<v Speaker 2>Because i'm looking at it right now As alabama one

0:57:04.760 --> 0:57:09.240
<v Speaker 2>and then just some smattering OF, Lsu auburn And TEXAS

0:57:09.320 --> 0:57:11.480
<v Speaker 2>a AND. M i think it could go a number

0:57:11.520 --> 0:57:13.760
<v Speaker 2>of different directions. THERE a AND m is so, Talented

0:57:14.600 --> 0:57:18.080
<v Speaker 2>SO i, guess let's say to get to number. Two

0:57:18.760 --> 0:57:19.640
<v Speaker 2>what are your odds of that.

0:57:19.760 --> 0:57:29.240
<v Speaker 1>HAPPENING i THINK i would still probably TAKE lsu ahead

0:57:29.240 --> 0:57:30.560
<v Speaker 1>OF a AND. M in that, GAME i believe is

0:57:30.600 --> 0:57:33.480
<v Speaker 1>In Baton. Rouge it is At TEXAS a AND. M

0:57:34.120 --> 0:57:35.760
<v Speaker 1>oh it's at to excuse, me it is At TEXAS

0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a AND. M that's why last year was In Baton. Rouge.

0:57:37.400 --> 0:57:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay so the fact, is if their chief competition IS

0:57:41.720 --> 0:57:43.840
<v Speaker 1>lsu And, auburn they Have auburn on the, ROAD lsu

0:57:44.080 --> 0:57:48.160
<v Speaker 1>is In Kyle, Field SO i GUESS i GIVE a AND.

0:57:48.320 --> 0:57:51.120
<v Speaker 1>M they are more likely than they have been these

0:57:51.160 --> 0:57:53.160
<v Speaker 1>past few years to finish as a runner up To.

0:57:53.880 --> 0:57:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Alabama if we are agreeing That alabama is the class

0:57:56.640 --> 0:58:01.200
<v Speaker 1>of the, division It's Kellen. Mont It's Kellen he's gotten more.

0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Accurate i'm not crazy about all of the weapons he

0:58:05.000 --> 0:58:07.320
<v Speaker 1>has in terms about proven and how obvious they are

0:58:07.760 --> 0:58:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to really challenge secondaries across THE. Sec but this is

0:58:11.720 --> 0:58:14.840
<v Speaker 1>as close as they've come in recent, years and there

0:58:14.840 --> 0:58:19.640
<v Speaker 1>are enough pieces along this roster that, Sure i'm going

0:58:19.680 --> 0:58:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to say there's a fifty five percent chance That TEXAS

0:58:21.920 --> 0:58:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a AND, m given their, schedule given their, experience given

0:58:25.960 --> 0:58:28.560
<v Speaker 1>the number of COACHES i, like and the continuity. There,

0:58:29.400 --> 0:58:32.160
<v Speaker 1>YEAH i think there's a good chance fifty five percent

0:58:32.320 --> 0:58:34.640
<v Speaker 1>more likely than not they finish as a runner up

0:58:34.680 --> 0:58:36.400
<v Speaker 1>because THAT lsu game is at.

0:58:36.440 --> 0:58:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Home If i'm a five, PERCENT i like.

0:58:38.600 --> 0:58:41.480
<v Speaker 1>That, yeah somebody's got to do.

0:58:41.560 --> 0:58:46.280
<v Speaker 2>It somebody does have to do. It, Okay i've got

0:58:46.320 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 2>another question about THE Sec, west AND i want to

0:58:48.640 --> 0:58:51.720
<v Speaker 2>talk about. ME i want to talk About Mike. Leitch,

0:58:51.920 --> 0:58:58.040
<v Speaker 2>now snake in the. Toilet, yeah let's play. It you've

0:58:58.120 --> 0:59:00.640
<v Speaker 2>had an infatuation With Mississippi state the last couple of,

0:59:00.680 --> 0:59:01.200
<v Speaker 2>years haven't.

0:59:01.240 --> 0:59:04.680
<v Speaker 1>You, yeah, WELL i was really hopeful That joe moorehead

0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:05.560
<v Speaker 1>would have success.

0:59:05.640 --> 0:59:10.640
<v Speaker 2>There what we hear a lot about With Mike leach

0:59:10.720 --> 0:59:14.720
<v Speaker 2>and his air raid is how simple he makes the

0:59:14.800 --> 0:59:18.200
<v Speaker 2>offense for his. Quarterbacks that's why it's kind of plug and, play.

0:59:18.320 --> 0:59:21.080
<v Speaker 2>Right he just plug a guy in and he's generally pretty.

0:59:21.080 --> 0:59:24.520
<v Speaker 2>Successful if we get the best of we get the

0:59:24.640 --> 0:59:27.720
<v Speaker 2>healthiest version of kJ costello who comes over From. Stanford

0:59:28.800 --> 0:59:33.080
<v Speaker 2>where does state fall on your snake in the, toilet

0:59:33.320 --> 0:59:37.520
<v Speaker 2>let's say, Scale if such thing does, exist.

0:59:40.320 --> 0:59:45.479
<v Speaker 1>They are right. Now the snake's head is not out

0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:49.760
<v Speaker 1>of the water, yet but it's. Lurking there is a

0:59:50.200 --> 0:59:53.520
<v Speaker 1>there's a reptilian presence. Too AND i did look up

0:59:53.600 --> 0:59:55.640
<v Speaker 1>if there have been snake in the toilet. Incidents there

0:59:55.720 --> 0:59:58.280
<v Speaker 1>was one. Recently it was posted On, twitter BUT i

0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:01.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think it was In. Mississippi oh, OKAY i don't

1:00:01.200 --> 1:00:03.760
<v Speaker 1>think it was within that. State i've seen Some, colorado Some,

1:00:03.880 --> 1:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>virginia Some. Australia i'm yet to See. Mississippi doesn't mean

1:00:07.400 --> 1:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>it hasn't. Happened it's entirely. POSSIBLE i think it's pretty.

1:00:11.800 --> 1:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Likely the problem to me is there's no obvious wide

1:00:14.440 --> 1:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>receiver who's going to take, over but that's almost always

1:00:18.360 --> 1:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>the case With Mike leach. Teams everything just sort of

1:00:20.360 --> 1:00:22.720
<v Speaker 1>works itself. Out they find who's good in the, slot

1:00:22.760 --> 1:00:24.800
<v Speaker 1>they find who's good, outside they find who's good for what.

1:00:25.000 --> 1:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Route and it's not necessarily every year you're going to

1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:30.560
<v Speaker 1>find A Michael crabtree type to run In leech's. Area

1:00:30.640 --> 1:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay because they generally just they find appropriate.

1:00:34.400 --> 1:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Dudes AND i Think Mississippi state, will especially BECAUSE i

1:00:38.120 --> 1:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>think they're also going to, find hopefully and they did

1:00:41.120 --> 1:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it somewhat With Max borgiy last year At Washington, state

1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>interesting creative ways to Use Kylon, hill WHO i think

1:00:46.800 --> 1:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>he led THE sec in rushing last. Year he's a

1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>total stud in the backfield next to kJ. Costello And

1:00:52.760 --> 1:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>i'm intrigued by the defense because they've recruited, well especially

1:00:56.120 --> 1:01:00.200
<v Speaker 1>upfront on defense with the new three three five It's

1:01:00.320 --> 1:01:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Zach arnett who's running The San Diego state presumably three

1:01:03.120 --> 1:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>three five defense In. Starkville the problem is they need

1:01:07.080 --> 1:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>to be, really really good because the secondary at least

1:01:10.680 --> 1:01:17.040
<v Speaker 1>last year was. Heinous they were, atrocious and So Mississippi

1:01:17.040 --> 1:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>state's going to have to score, points and they're going

1:01:18.800 --> 1:01:20.320
<v Speaker 1>to need to get after the quarterback and get off

1:01:20.360 --> 1:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the field quickly because if they, don't we're going to

1:01:23.520 --> 1:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>SEE pac twelve after dark in the state Of. Mississippi

1:01:27.040 --> 1:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>it's not going to Escape Mike LEACH'S dna if they're

1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>not able to look like what they did briefly Under

1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>Alex grinch At Mississippi, state and that's, confusion it's, mixing

1:01:37.640 --> 1:01:40.320
<v Speaker 1>mixing things up up. Front i'm hopeful that something like that,

1:01:40.520 --> 1:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>happens BUT i think we're going to see more shootout

1:01:43.400 --> 1:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>than we are. Consistent snake in the.

1:01:45.680 --> 1:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Toilet do you think That Mike leach is going to

1:01:48.480 --> 1:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>fit in In?

1:01:49.080 --> 1:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Starkville? Sure, yeah, yeah absolutely like. That he already. Has,

1:01:53.200 --> 1:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>yeah he had some incidents on social media. Early i'm

1:01:58.360 --> 1:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>hopeful for the players and the health of that program

1:02:00.760 --> 1:02:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that they've put that behind themselves And Mike leach has

1:02:03.720 --> 1:02:07.040
<v Speaker 1>emerged smarter and more. Empathetic i'm. HOPEFUL i don't, know

1:02:07.640 --> 1:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>but in terms of what he's able to do on

1:02:10.560 --> 1:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the field and what his personality is going to be,

1:02:12.480 --> 1:02:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like you know with the fan. Base, YEAH i think

1:02:15.560 --> 1:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>he's going to ingratiate himself well for. Sure and even you,

1:02:19.480 --> 1:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>know if it's a five and, five four and, six

1:02:21.640 --> 1:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>whatever type, season you can write that off because it's

1:02:24.560 --> 1:02:27.120
<v Speaker 1>A i think still a pretty extreme change with the

1:02:27.160 --> 1:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>new coaching, staff new, quarterback new systems on both sides

1:02:29.680 --> 1:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of the. Ball, YEAH i think it'll be a, fun,

1:02:32.400 --> 1:02:34.200
<v Speaker 1>dangerous snaky four and, six five and.

1:02:34.320 --> 1:02:38.000
<v Speaker 2>Five i'm very interested in the kJ costello. DYNAMIC i

1:02:38.160 --> 1:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>really liked him At, stanford but been beat, up been beat,

1:02:41.760 --> 1:02:44.520
<v Speaker 2>up but in this, offense to see what he can

1:02:44.560 --> 1:02:48.360
<v Speaker 2>do airing it out, MORE i don't, know but it'll be.

1:02:48.400 --> 1:02:50.400
<v Speaker 2>Interesting it's a much different system than what he ran At.

1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:54.440
<v Speaker 2>Stanford would like to really see the chains off, him

1:02:54.480 --> 1:02:56.040
<v Speaker 2>to see what he can do with that. Arm, okay

1:02:56.120 --> 1:03:01.200
<v Speaker 2>this is a quarterback friendly. System, yes all, right let's

1:03:01.200 --> 1:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>stay in the great state Of. Mississippi if that's okay with,

1:03:05.480 --> 1:03:09.960
<v Speaker 2>you that's terrific with. Me another new, coach we've Got

1:03:10.800 --> 1:03:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Lane kiffin coming Into. Oxford before last, year That ole

1:03:17.800 --> 1:03:21.560
<v Speaker 2>miss offense had mostly been like, FINE i don't, know,

1:03:22.120 --> 1:03:27.520
<v Speaker 2>fine a really bad. Defense last year things flipped and

1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:30.480
<v Speaker 2>now we've got a new. Staff which side of the

1:03:30.520 --> 1:03:32.280
<v Speaker 2>ball is going to hold up their end of the

1:03:32.320 --> 1:03:34.480
<v Speaker 2>bargain this, year like which is it gonna? Be is

1:03:34.520 --> 1:03:36.160
<v Speaker 2>it going to be one or the? Other or might

1:03:36.240 --> 1:03:36.920
<v Speaker 2>we see a little of.

1:03:36.960 --> 1:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>BOTH i think the offense is going to get way

1:03:40.480 --> 1:03:43.400
<v Speaker 1>more specific and. BETTER i think the defense could hold.

1:03:43.520 --> 1:03:45.120
<v Speaker 1>SERVE i don't think they're gonna get a lot, better

1:03:45.200 --> 1:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>even though Dj dirkin has certainly succeeded as a defensive.

1:03:48.320 --> 1:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>COORDINATOR i think he's a CO dc now In. Oxford

1:03:52.000 --> 1:03:55.439
<v Speaker 1>BUT i think on, offense and it looks Like matt

1:03:55.560 --> 1:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>corral is ahead Of John Reese plumley and some practice,

1:03:58.520 --> 1:04:00.880
<v Speaker 1>reports but nothing is official terms of who's starting at.

1:04:00.960 --> 1:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback but the star power on offense leads me to

1:04:05.400 --> 1:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>believe they RETURN i think three or four offensive lineman

1:04:08.080 --> 1:04:10.920
<v Speaker 1>who started last, year and Then jerry And ealy is

1:04:11.240 --> 1:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>home run. Threat and Then Elijah, moore who is far

1:04:14.960 --> 1:04:17.680
<v Speaker 1>more than a peeing dog in the Egg bowl but

1:04:17.840 --> 1:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>also was a peeing dog in the Egg, bowl is

1:04:22.000 --> 1:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>one of the very best receivers in THE. Sec SO

1:04:25.840 --> 1:04:28.480
<v Speaker 1>i think it's. INTERESTING i think What Lane kiffin should

1:04:28.480 --> 1:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>be able to do is get this back to being

1:04:31.560 --> 1:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>A i don't, know top forty or so offense which

1:04:35.240 --> 1:04:37.120
<v Speaker 1>is not good enough to win a ton of games

1:04:37.520 --> 1:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>when you still have the questions that they have on.

1:04:39.320 --> 1:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Defense they're not particularly big inside on. Defense they've got

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting linebackers and edge, rushers but the secondary also is

1:04:47.800 --> 1:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>a pretty big. Question their schedule is actually really. Nice

1:04:51.760 --> 1:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>they Have, Florida, bama And auburn all at. Home they're

1:04:54.000 --> 1:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>on the road AGAINST a AND m AND. Lsu but

1:04:56.040 --> 1:04:57.960
<v Speaker 1>in terms of what it could be in year one

1:04:58.120 --> 1:05:01.439
<v Speaker 1>For Lane, Kiffin I'm i'm good With Ole miss also

1:05:01.480 --> 1:05:04.880
<v Speaker 1>being a sort of snake in the. Toilet hold, on hold,

1:05:04.960 --> 1:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>on they. Finish they finished WITH a AND m in

1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>The Egg bowl and finished WITH a AND m The

1:05:12.960 --> 1:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Egg bowl AND. Lsu excuse me WITH lsu AND a

1:05:15.600 --> 1:05:18.640
<v Speaker 1>AND m on the, road but EVERYTHING i. Mean i'm

1:05:18.680 --> 1:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>not Saying kentucky is a nice break Between florida And,

1:05:21.480 --> 1:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>alabama but it's better not to Have florida And alabama

1:05:24.280 --> 1:05:27.640
<v Speaker 1>in consecutive. Weeks arkansas is probably more of a break

1:05:27.680 --> 1:05:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Than kentucky is Between alabama And, auburn but we'll. See

1:05:31.840 --> 1:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>it's a nice enough schedule for For Lane kiffin and

1:05:34.600 --> 1:05:35.320
<v Speaker 1>The rebels in year.

1:05:35.360 --> 1:05:38.120
<v Speaker 2>One i'm gonna ask the same question About Lane. Kiffin

1:05:38.160 --> 1:05:38.960
<v Speaker 2>does he fit in In?

1:05:39.040 --> 1:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Oxford excuse, me The Admiral ACBARS i still believe Does

1:05:43.560 --> 1:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>Lane kiffin fit? In yes he, Does, Yes yes he

1:05:47.360 --> 1:05:47.680
<v Speaker 1>very much.

1:05:47.760 --> 1:05:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Does all, right let's hop back over to The.

1:05:51.240 --> 1:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>East what DO i want to know in The East?

1:05:53.760 --> 1:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Tide what do you want to?

1:05:54.840 --> 1:05:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Know we talked about, Them we talked about we talked

1:05:57.120 --> 1:06:00.480
<v Speaker 2>about the most interesting team In. Kentucky SO i suppose

1:06:00.520 --> 1:06:03.840
<v Speaker 2>we don't need to Cover, Missouri South carolina Or. Vanderbilt

1:06:03.920 --> 1:06:05.120
<v Speaker 2>But i'll let you.

1:06:05.200 --> 1:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Pick after thirteen straight bad offensive coordinator hires Tie Is

1:06:12.840 --> 1:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>will Musk, champ making lucky number, fourteen the guy In Mike?

1:06:18.680 --> 1:06:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Bobo what's he doing to actually figure out how to

1:06:22.240 --> 1:06:25.880
<v Speaker 1>consistently run a good? Offense and, yes last Year Jake

1:06:25.920 --> 1:06:28.680
<v Speaker 1>bentley got hurt almost, immediately so that's Not will Muss champ's.

1:06:28.720 --> 1:06:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Fault but his offensive coordinator track record isn't. Great what's

1:06:33.320 --> 1:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>he doing to to turn things? Around, well he Hired Mike.

1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:41.960
<v Speaker 2>Bobo, bobo you may, recall was At georgia for like

1:06:42.080 --> 1:06:45.280
<v Speaker 2>two decades and he coached a couple of years At Colorado.

1:06:45.360 --> 1:06:48.760
<v Speaker 2>State his offense is definitely MORE i think what you'd

1:06:48.840 --> 1:06:51.280
<v Speaker 2>expect you're what you're used to seeing from a team

1:06:51.360 --> 1:06:54.919
<v Speaker 2>run By will Mush champ because it's, slower it's more under,

1:06:55.000 --> 1:06:56.680
<v Speaker 2>center it's more based on the ground.

1:06:56.840 --> 1:06:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Game, right.

1:06:59.400 --> 1:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>We can get to the run game in a, minute

1:07:01.160 --> 1:07:06.800
<v Speaker 2>but sure you. Know, Secondly muschamp also made some staff

1:07:06.920 --> 1:07:09.200
<v Speaker 2>changes to try and fix that injury, bug WHICH i

1:07:09.320 --> 1:07:12.240
<v Speaker 2>know you didn't really, mention but they've just been decimated

1:07:12.280 --> 1:07:15.320
<v Speaker 2>the last two, years which has made things a lot.

1:07:15.440 --> 1:07:20.280
<v Speaker 2>Harder so maybe the combination of changing the offense up

1:07:21.120 --> 1:07:25.400
<v Speaker 2>with trying to make the team healthier is going to

1:07:25.480 --> 1:07:28.120
<v Speaker 2>make an improvement and reverse that trend of the last two,

1:07:28.200 --> 1:07:31.960
<v Speaker 2>seasons which has been in the wrong. Direction but on

1:07:32.160 --> 1:07:37.640
<v Speaker 2>the injury, Point South CAROLINA i think was relying On Marshawn,

1:07:37.800 --> 1:07:41.280
<v Speaker 2>lloyd a four star freshman out Of, maryland to come

1:07:41.360 --> 1:07:43.560
<v Speaker 2>in and make an impact at the running back position

1:07:43.640 --> 1:07:45.600
<v Speaker 2>because their top three from a year ago are all.

1:07:45.680 --> 1:07:49.400
<v Speaker 2>GONE a lot of folks were really excited About, lloyd

1:07:50.120 --> 1:07:54.240
<v Speaker 2>and the kid freaking tore his acl, yeah perhaps ironically

1:07:54.320 --> 1:07:57.960
<v Speaker 2>now amid this movement to try and root out, injuries

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>so he's done and the running back situation is very.

1:08:02.360 --> 1:08:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Fluid it's in. Flux there are four, options none of

1:08:04.840 --> 1:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>them that, proven and it's a really tough break given

1:08:08.480 --> 1:08:12.160
<v Speaker 2>the fact that with This Mike bobo offense, again it's

1:08:12.280 --> 1:08:14.760
<v Speaker 2>probably going to be more geared around the ground. Game

1:08:15.520 --> 1:08:19.400
<v Speaker 2>so we'll. See we'll see what happens. There the other

1:08:19.560 --> 1:08:24.120
<v Speaker 2>thing to keep an eye on here is we Expected

1:08:24.200 --> 1:08:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Ryan helnsky would be named the. Starter it sounds like

1:08:28.400 --> 1:08:33.240
<v Speaker 2>they're looking hard At Colin, hill transferred over From Colorado

1:08:33.360 --> 1:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>state and obviously knows That bobo system pretty. Well Remember

1:08:38.120 --> 1:08:41.560
<v Speaker 2>Jake bentley transferred out To. Utah he's no longer in

1:08:41.680 --> 1:08:45.360
<v Speaker 2>the mix, here so it's down To helensky Versus. HILL

1:08:45.840 --> 1:08:49.680
<v Speaker 2>i would be surprised if it Weren't, halnsky BUT i

1:08:49.800 --> 1:08:52.120
<v Speaker 2>think just by virtue of the fact that it seems

1:08:52.160 --> 1:08:55.400
<v Speaker 2>like they're taking such a hard look At, hill it

1:08:55.560 --> 1:08:58.439
<v Speaker 2>stands to reason that there's a lot of fluidity here

1:08:58.520 --> 1:09:00.719
<v Speaker 2>on this, offense not just at running, back but also

1:09:00.800 --> 1:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>at also at. Quarterback you have to believe if You're

1:09:06.320 --> 1:09:08.679
<v Speaker 2>will Mush, champ if You're Mike bobo coming in there,

1:09:08.720 --> 1:09:11.479
<v Speaker 2>fresh that you're going to play the best guy at any.

1:09:11.520 --> 1:09:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Position because the offense has really been a, concern right.

1:09:15.720 --> 1:09:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Defensively they they Lose Javon kinlaw to THE. Nfl up,

1:09:19.200 --> 1:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>front he was so. Good, yeah the line should still be.

1:09:22.720 --> 1:09:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Fine Ernest, JONES i THINK i saw is just about

1:09:25.800 --> 1:09:29.800
<v Speaker 2>recovered from an appendicitis And Shira green he's good at

1:09:29.880 --> 1:09:33.200
<v Speaker 2>linebacker as. Well the secondary should be stout because a

1:09:33.240 --> 1:09:35.760
<v Speaker 2>lot of young guys got reps early last.

1:09:35.800 --> 1:09:38.519
<v Speaker 1>Season do you still have your? Appendix by the, WAY i?

1:09:38.600 --> 1:09:38.920

<v Speaker 1>Is the right? SIDE i believe it's the right and

1:09:47.360 --> 1:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of side, front but it's. Starts please look

1:09:50.479 --> 1:09:53.600
<v Speaker 1>it can start upper left and oh is that?

<v Speaker 2>South carolina and For South carolina. Football for as much

1:10:12.520 --> 1:10:14.720
<v Speaker 2>AS i hate to say, it it is a. LOT

1:10:14.880 --> 1:10:17.280
<v Speaker 2>i don't really see the upside this. YEAR i don't

1:10:19.360 --> 1:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>AGO i kind of throw the wind lost thing out

1:10:22.040 --> 1:10:26.120

<v Speaker 1>sleeping in people, sleeping they would antique. Them. Yeah, yeah

1:10:44.840 --> 1:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>there feels like there's a bit of antiquing to the

1:10:46.960 --> 1:10:48.120
<v Speaker 1>start Of South carolina.

1:10:48.240 --> 1:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>Season there's a video somewhere of me being antiqued WHEN

1:10:51.240 --> 1:10:51.920
<v Speaker 2>i was a senior in.

1:10:51.960 --> 1:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>College, oh that's, right You're. Pennsylvania that's. There there's some

1:10:55.200 --> 1:10:57.240
<v Speaker 1>like they're within forty five minutes an hour of You

1:10:57.520 --> 1:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>ban mardin whole.

1:10:58.479 --> 1:11:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Crew yeah, yeah oh, yeah oh, Yeah, WESTCHESTER i, KNOW i.

1:11:04.040 --> 1:11:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Know all, right that's. It do we want to knock

1:11:08.800 --> 1:11:11.080
<v Speaker 2>out the OTHER Sec east teams while we're?

1:11:11.080 --> 1:11:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Here? Na, okay, fine talk About.

1:11:14.439 --> 1:11:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Missouri what do you want to know about The Eli drinkwitz.

1:11:16.680 --> 1:11:24.280
<v Speaker 1>ERA i guess the fact that he is taking over

1:11:24.520 --> 1:11:26.560
<v Speaker 1>now That Barry odin was, out BECAUSE i guess it

1:11:26.680 --> 1:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>was just clear To missoo, People Barry odin was not the.

1:11:29.479 --> 1:11:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Answer is that still kind of a shock to? You

1:11:33.200 --> 1:11:36.840
<v Speaker 1>and what Does Eli drinkwitz have to work with to

1:11:36.920 --> 1:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>make year one in this very strange year one somewhat?

1:11:40.000 --> 1:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Encouraging does that make? Sense it?

1:11:41.920 --> 1:11:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Did it surprised. Me it surprised. Me Eli drinkwitz qualifies

1:11:47.840 --> 1:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in the highly thought of category among coaching, hires, RIGHT i,

1:11:51.680 --> 1:11:54.280
<v Speaker 2>mean everyone knew that he was destined for big things

1:11:54.360 --> 1:11:57.719
<v Speaker 2>and had just one year of coaching experience head coaching

1:11:57.800 --> 1:12:00.320
<v Speaker 2>experienced at App state did a good job one eleven,

1:12:00.400 --> 1:12:04.559
<v Speaker 2>games but a much different situation than what he's stepping

1:12:04.600 --> 1:12:07.800
<v Speaker 2>into At. Miszoo it is clearly not as healthy of a.

1:12:07.880 --> 1:12:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Program this is one that's pretty much stalled out over

1:12:12.200 --> 1:12:14.519
<v Speaker 2>the last five years or. So recruiting has not been,

1:12:14.600 --> 1:12:19.519
<v Speaker 2>Great offense has seen a precipitous, decline and As i've

1:12:19.520 --> 1:12:22.559
<v Speaker 2>been saying the whole time Here, dan THE Sec east

1:12:22.720 --> 1:12:25.960
<v Speaker 2>is getting, tougher it is getting. Better so this is

1:12:26.000 --> 1:12:29.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be a heavy rift For Eli drinkwitz in

1:12:29.880 --> 1:12:35.080
<v Speaker 2>terms of, like what are expectations for year? One, stylistically

1:12:35.200 --> 1:12:38.439
<v Speaker 2>Drink witz runs more of a no huddle. Thing there's

1:12:38.439 --> 1:12:41.360
<v Speaker 2>gonna be a lot of. Motion BUT i, think in

1:12:41.520 --> 1:12:45.280
<v Speaker 2>continuing with another theme of THE Sec, east he too

1:12:45.400 --> 1:12:48.840
<v Speaker 2>has proven to be pretty. Adaptable he had a lot

1:12:48.920 --> 1:12:52.080
<v Speaker 2>of success building schemes around his best personnel AT, boyc

1:12:52.360 --> 1:12:56.280
<v Speaker 2>AT Nc, state even last, Year, yeah even last year

1:12:56.280 --> 1:12:58.559
<v Speaker 2>at App, state which he went pretty run. Heavy.

1:12:59.280 --> 1:13:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah and he's a, Guy he's a gus. Guy these

1:13:01.360 --> 1:13:03.920
<v Speaker 1>are Not this will look very familiar to people who

1:13:03.960 --> 1:13:04.920
<v Speaker 1>watched a lot of THE. Sec.

1:13:05.720 --> 1:13:08.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah so you, know going into this season with a new,

1:13:08.280 --> 1:13:12.280
<v Speaker 2>quarterback a wide, receiver corps that turns, over a line

1:13:12.360 --> 1:13:15.400
<v Speaker 2>that turns, OVER i think it has to, improve if

1:13:15.439 --> 1:13:17.559
<v Speaker 2>only because it was so bad down the stretch last.

1:13:17.640 --> 1:13:20.719
<v Speaker 2>Year But i'm not expecting any kind of immediate returns.

1:13:20.760 --> 1:13:23.360
<v Speaker 2>Here he's going to be patching this thing together as

1:13:23.400 --> 1:13:26.919
<v Speaker 2>best he can with whoever he can. Find on, offense,

1:13:27.680 --> 1:13:31.400
<v Speaker 2>notably it looks like it will Be Sean robinson who

1:13:31.479 --> 1:13:34.679
<v Speaker 2>comes over FROM. Ccu he's gonna be throwing A Damon,

1:13:34.720 --> 1:13:37.160
<v Speaker 2>hazleton who comes over From Virginia. Tech he's going to

1:13:37.160 --> 1:13:40.960
<v Speaker 2>be handing off To Larry, roundtree who we. Like. Roundtree he's,

1:13:41.000 --> 1:13:44.680
<v Speaker 2>good he's. Good they will be better on defense than on.

1:13:44.800 --> 1:13:50.640
<v Speaker 2>Offense he retained most of the previous staff THAT i

1:13:50.720 --> 1:13:53.639
<v Speaker 2>think should help give them some stability on the defensive

1:13:53.680 --> 1:13:57.759
<v Speaker 2>side of the. BALL i looked at this. SCHEDULE i audibly,

1:13:57.880 --> 1:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>GASPED i audibly Gas listen to the first eight weeks

1:14:01.600 --> 1:14:06.720
<v Speaker 2>of this. Schedule i'm ready home Against bama At, tennessee AT,

1:14:06.920 --> 1:14:12.959
<v Speaker 2>lsu home Against, vandy yay At, florida home Against, KENTUCKY

1:14:13.520 --> 1:14:17.920
<v Speaker 2>a glorious and merciful bye, week and then a home

1:14:17.960 --> 1:14:22.080

1:14:22.160 --> 1:14:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Toilet we didn't prepare sound for. That this schedule is

1:14:26.360 --> 1:14:30.679
<v Speaker 2>outlawed in like a hundred. Countries it is just cruel than. Usual,

1:14:31.000 --> 1:14:34.479
<v Speaker 2>yeah just murder For Eli. Drinkwitz BUT i like the

1:14:34.600 --> 1:14:37.280
<v Speaker 2>hire as a. WHOLE i think he will find a

1:14:37.320 --> 1:14:40.000
<v Speaker 2>way to tune up that offense and hopefully bring some

1:14:40.080 --> 1:14:42.680
<v Speaker 2>of that personality to The missouri program because they've been

1:14:43.320 --> 1:14:45.280
<v Speaker 2>very old school with odom for a.

1:14:45.400 --> 1:14:48.639

1:16:17.479 --> 1:16:22.439
<v Speaker 1>some potential, Here, Ty i'm laying out some. Potential they Have.

1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:25.040

<v Speaker 2>Game so you're thinking that there is some look ahead

1:16:35.280 --> 1:16:36.040
<v Speaker 2>potential here with.

1:16:36.160 --> 1:16:41.240
<v Speaker 1>They've Beaten tennessee recently they Have you're, Right, okay that's

1:16:41.280 --> 1:16:42.920
<v Speaker 1>All i'm just reaching.

1:16:43.000 --> 1:16:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Here you're you're reaching the two. REASONS i have two

1:16:46.600 --> 1:16:51.040
<v Speaker 2>reasons and only two reasons for. OPTIMISM i had to

1:16:51.080 --> 1:16:54.000
<v Speaker 2>squint to find. Them but there are a, Few. Okay

1:16:55.479 --> 1:16:58.880
<v Speaker 2>the first is that you may recall The Deep dark

1:17:00.080 --> 1:17:06.080
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen offense Of Jerry godowski after he was promoted

1:17:06.120 --> 1:17:10.920
<v Speaker 2>to offensive coordinator After Andy ludley left For. Utah that

1:17:11.120 --> 1:17:14.439
<v Speaker 2>offense was no, boy, no it was it. Was it

1:17:14.600 --> 1:17:17.719
<v Speaker 2>was actually really surprising because he had talent to play.

1:17:17.760 --> 1:17:21.320
<v Speaker 2>With it didn't work now he Hired Todd fitch away

1:17:21.400 --> 1:17:23.519
<v Speaker 2>From Louisiana. Tech he's going to come. In he's going

1:17:23.560 --> 1:17:26.559
<v Speaker 2>to revamp, things and that's kind of exciting because it's

1:17:26.880 --> 1:17:29.519
<v Speaker 2>really a blank slate on, offense there are snaps to be.

1:17:29.640 --> 1:17:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Had the offense will definitely be more pass heavy and up,

1:17:33.080 --> 1:17:37.280
<v Speaker 2>tempo and perhaps it's something to build on for twenty twenty.

1:17:37.320 --> 1:17:39.519
<v Speaker 2>One it's going to be more, Exciting so look forward to.

1:17:39.600 --> 1:17:42.400
<v Speaker 2>That that's one reason for, optimism.

1:17:42.400 --> 1:17:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Quote unquote more. Exciting ty Hilden, Brand, okay.

1:17:46.800 --> 1:17:50.479
<v Speaker 2>It's a relative, measure but, sure. Okay Fair and on

1:17:50.600 --> 1:17:54.599
<v Speaker 2>the defensive, side he's bringing in Ted. ROOF i am

1:17:54.680 --> 1:17:56.800
<v Speaker 2>not going to act LIKE i worship at the Ted Roof.

1:17:56.840 --> 1:18:01.760
<v Speaker 2>ALTER i may have made many joke for many years

1:18:01.800 --> 1:18:04.320
<v Speaker 2>about the leaky, roof especially in his time At Penn.

1:18:04.360 --> 1:18:07.400
<v Speaker 1>State, yeah that was. Rough he's not been the best

1:18:08.080 --> 1:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>places even's.

1:18:08.880 --> 1:18:12.560
<v Speaker 2>Been, yeah BUT i do think it's an, upgrade AND

1:18:12.720 --> 1:18:16.240
<v Speaker 2>i Think vandy brings back literally every starter on, defense

1:18:17.800 --> 1:18:19.040
<v Speaker 2>and that's something that he can work.

1:18:19.080 --> 1:18:23.200
<v Speaker 1>With is that? Good is it good to bring back

1:18:23.280 --> 1:18:26.920
<v Speaker 1>every starter from a defense THAT i maybe it cracked

1:18:26.920 --> 1:18:30.760
<v Speaker 1>the top. Hundred MAYBE i don't. Know it's this is

1:18:30.800 --> 1:18:34.160
<v Speaker 1>ALL i have. Run you could have, run and by

1:18:34.240 --> 1:18:38.799
<v Speaker 1>saying me saying, You i'm saying you out of shape

1:18:39.680 --> 1:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>bum shoulder can definitely not take a hit. You AND

1:18:46.439 --> 1:18:49.680
<v Speaker 1>i don't like to say this because it's a cliche of, like,

1:18:49.800 --> 1:18:53.000
<v Speaker 1>oh EVEN i could have run through that whole bloh body. Blah, No,

1:18:53.160 --> 1:18:59.120
<v Speaker 1>no you could do work against this year's or last

1:18:59.200 --> 1:19:00.120
<v Speaker 1>year's at least a.

1:19:00.280 --> 1:19:04.679
<v Speaker 2>Front, yes oh, man that's ALL i got. Though oh, Intent,

1:19:04.800 --> 1:19:05.560
<v Speaker 2>okay they're going on.

1:19:05.640 --> 1:19:09.479
<v Speaker 1>INTENT i guess we're gonna talk About, arkansas WHICH i

1:19:09.479 --> 1:19:14.280
<v Speaker 1>think there's more reason to be optimistic about The hogs Than,

1:19:14.479 --> 1:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>vanderbilt just because new coaching, staff encouraging. Coordinators do you

1:19:17.920 --> 1:19:19.360
<v Speaker 1>want to know anything specific About?

1:19:19.400 --> 1:19:21.960
<v Speaker 2>Arkansas, YEAH i want to know about the, transfers because

1:19:22.040 --> 1:19:23.640
<v Speaker 2>they've they've taken on an unber of.

1:19:23.720 --> 1:19:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Dogs in this, house there's some, hogs.

1:19:25.760 --> 1:19:29.000
<v Speaker 2>And, yeah a number of transfers to kind of give

1:19:29.080 --> 1:19:33.160
<v Speaker 2>them depth in you'r one of Of Sam. Pittman SO i, guess,

1:19:33.280 --> 1:19:35.880
<v Speaker 2>like where does it actually make a real difference in

1:19:36.000 --> 1:19:37.639
<v Speaker 2>your one or any of these guys going to step

1:19:37.720 --> 1:19:39.639
<v Speaker 2>in in and have an immediate. Impact?

1:19:41.560 --> 1:19:44.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh, YEAH i think there are a couple Of Felipe

1:19:44.160 --> 1:19:45.880
<v Speaker 1>franks is the big, name but he is going to

1:19:45.960 --> 1:19:49.280
<v Speaker 1>be playing behind a below average offensive, line but he

1:19:49.320 --> 1:19:51.519
<v Speaker 1>will be handing the ball off to a well above

1:19:51.600 --> 1:19:55.400
<v Speaker 1>average running back And Rackem, boyd and he Has Kendall

1:19:55.479 --> 1:19:58.519
<v Speaker 1>brile's and generally That Kendall brile's. Offenses you, know get

1:19:58.560 --> 1:20:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the ball out real quick. Screen we saw the success

1:20:01.120 --> 1:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>he had With Deeric. King Felabe frank's definitely a different

1:20:04.120 --> 1:20:07.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback Than Deerck king was With Kendall briles At. Houston

1:20:09.200 --> 1:20:11.920
<v Speaker 1>receiver is still pretty unknown in terms of you, know

1:20:12.040 --> 1:20:14.439
<v Speaker 1>who steps. Up who is the obvious candidate to be

1:20:14.479 --> 1:20:19.320
<v Speaker 1>a big contributor in hopefully an improved. Offense the other

1:20:19.400 --> 1:20:22.360
<v Speaker 1>big candidate for where a transfer can make a, dent,

1:20:22.439 --> 1:20:25.799
<v Speaker 1>THOUGH i, think is edge Rusher Xavier. Kelly The clemson

1:20:25.880 --> 1:20:29.320
<v Speaker 1>transfer apparently has been very, impressive and SO i don't

1:20:29.360 --> 1:20:32.400
<v Speaker 1>know if he's just going to take over, Games but

1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:36.200
<v Speaker 1>in terms of a talent, bump they should be better

1:20:36.680 --> 1:20:40.840
<v Speaker 1>upfront on, defense because the rest of that defense Was,

1:20:41.560 --> 1:20:44.120
<v Speaker 1>GOD i do love the word, heinous But i'm looking

1:20:44.200 --> 1:20:49.560
<v Speaker 1>for synonyms. Tie it was not, horrific last ghastly. Ghastly

1:20:50.520 --> 1:20:52.479
<v Speaker 1>they weren't great against the. Past they were not getting after,

1:20:52.560 --> 1:20:54.960
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks they were not defending, passes they were not good

1:20:55.000 --> 1:20:57.240
<v Speaker 1>in the open. Field there were moments where they were

1:20:57.280 --> 1:21:00.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty good against the. Run that to, me is going

1:21:00.320 --> 1:21:01.599
<v Speaker 1>to be the. Issue you're going to need to cover

1:21:01.760 --> 1:21:04.680
<v Speaker 1>up for a lot of issues behind that line by

1:21:04.720 --> 1:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>getting after quarterbacks. Quickly i'm not seeing it happen in year,

1:21:08.400 --> 1:21:11.960
<v Speaker 1>one BUT i really really Like barry otom as a defensive,

1:21:11.960 --> 1:21:14.600
<v Speaker 1>coordinator and it's not like he was going out and

1:21:14.760 --> 1:21:18.120
<v Speaker 1>lining up those really Strong miszoo defenses and even did

1:21:18.120 --> 1:21:21.040
<v Speaker 1>a good job At memphis with just five star blue

1:21:21.120 --> 1:21:25.120
<v Speaker 1>chip studs. Everywhere so in terms of talent, identification either

1:21:25.479 --> 1:21:28.960
<v Speaker 1>in The arkansas, area In East, texas Wherever arkansas is

1:21:29.000 --> 1:21:31.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to, RECRUIT i think they're going to do a

1:21:31.439 --> 1:21:34.840
<v Speaker 1>good job of identifying three star. Dudes SO i think

1:21:34.920 --> 1:21:36.840
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be the dent is going to be

1:21:36.880 --> 1:21:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the improvement in development on. Defense so it's not transfers per,

1:21:40.680 --> 1:21:42.800
<v Speaker 1>se but in the next two three, YEARS i think

1:21:42.840 --> 1:21:46.760
<v Speaker 1>that's going to be the infusion of. Improvement all, right

1:21:47.760 --> 1:21:49.880
<v Speaker 1>do you hear like a giant machine outside of my?

1:21:49.920 --> 1:21:51.880

1:21:51.960 --> 1:21:53.120
