1
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: Wise men make observations and week one foolish men draw

2
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: conclusions in Week one that according to me, Ma ages ago,

3
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 1: and it's just as true today as it was when

4
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: she said it.

5
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: Lakey is Live. It a Sunday, September third, the year

6
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: of Our Lord, twenty twenty three, were jam packed HIATAP

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 2: and obviously Sunburn downtown Nashville, Tennessee a little bit earlier

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: start time for the live show tonight. We've got a

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: little game between LSU and FSU coming up that we

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: didn't want to overlap with. It's not the NFL, after all.

11
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: We don't want to interfere with actual college football. But

12
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: plenty of it happened yesterday, friends. I was in Salt

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: Lake City Thursday night. I came back here in time

14
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: to go to Tennessee, Virginia yesterday. Full Week one reactions.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: Sunday nights not that you'd not that you should ever

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: miss a show, but Sunday nights are really the ones

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: to lock in for because I don't know that we're

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: going to I have the most popular opinions on tonight's show.

19
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 2: I find myself thinking some things about what we saw

20
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 2: over the past seventy two hours that safe to say

21
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: is in the minority. I'm going to talk about Dion,

22
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about Ohio State's offensive struggle. I'm

23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 2: going to talk about Bama looking really good. I'm going

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: to talk about Georgia looking totally lethargic. Got clowns everywhere

25
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: to call out when it comes to the Rama Noodle Express, which,

26
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: contrary to popular belief, one money yesterday, like we made money,

27
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: believe it or not, Internet would tell you otherwise. We

28
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: got coaches being questioned left and right. I've got to

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: announce where we're going on the once Upon a Saturday

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: tour this Saturday. We're actually gonna go to a game

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: on Saturday this week. So yes, plenty of caffeine, plenty

32
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 2: to talk about. And they're watching this in Conrod, Texas,

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: Salisbury and Maryland, Cosby, Tennessee. Salt Lake City, Utah. Can

34
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: confirm great crowd out there, like a suspiciously great crowd.

35
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: A ton of you guys gave a shout outs. We

36
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 2: had posters in the stands at Rightle Stadium. So I

37
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: appreciate that the Week two schedule is on actual fire

38
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 2: this week. It's amazing. We got all kinds of great matchups.

39
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: We'll predict them all Tuesday night. We have got a

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 2: lot to talk about. Though. That's a paper slammer. Let

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: me do it again. Never done that before, Jesse Colin.

42
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll incorporate that end of the show. Who we

43
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: got four best bets? Also, like, I've already moved on

44
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: four games, So man, we're loaded, let's lock in. Okay,

45
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 2: where else would I start the show? I didn't see

46
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: this coming two years ago, but where else would I

47
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: start the show? Colorado beat TCU yesterday. Let me repeat

48
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: that for those of you, including myself, who didn't necessarily

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: think this was going to happen. Colorado hung forty eight

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: and they beat TCU yesterday. What they didn't do is

51
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: beat the team that played for national championship last year.

52
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: That was one of the more ignorant statements floating around

53
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: out there in the Twitter sphere. But I'll address that later.

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: I got to talk about winners on this show first.

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 2: It was interesting to be me watching this game yesterday

56
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: because I'm someone who found himself a little little bit conflicted.

57
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: I thought TCU was not only going to win the game,

58
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 2: I thought they'd run away with it. I said that

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 2: like three or four times last week. I was really

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 2: emphatic about it. Pretty embarrassing if you want me to

61
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,679
Speaker 2: be real. But that's football. You know, things happen. Crazy

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: things have happened before, and they'll happen again. So it's

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: not getting the pick wrong. Here's the problem. When they

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 2: hired Dion at Colorado, I went so overboard and was

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: so effusive in my excitement and praise of it and

66
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: for it on this show that people started calling me

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,079
Speaker 2: a homer. People started accusing me of all sorts of things.

68
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 2: Some people thought Dion was paying us. I don't know

69
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: where the checks are. Maybe he will be. Maybe I

70
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: need to check my VENMO. We hadn't got that yet.

71
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: But anyway, so I'm all in on Dion Sanders and

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: his vision for the program. I'm all in on what

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: they did in the portal. This is me in the

74
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: spring and summer. This was me talking. But I wasn't

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: necessarily all in on this team this year being able

76
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: to do stuff like they did yesterday. So I don't

77
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: know if you would call it ahead of schedule. Certainly,

78
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: from one week's perspective, they were ahead of schedule. But

79
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 2: it's like I don't know, it's vision of future versus

80
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: what I thought the hearing now would be. So that's

81
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: where there was a little bit of a disconnect for

82
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: me yesterday. But it's a funny thing when you choose

83
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: what you want to have faith in in this sport.

84
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about out there in the real world

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: in life. I just mean in football. It's very interesting

86
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: because faith is the assurance of things hoped for. We

87
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 2: remember Sunday School, right, the assurance of things hope for,

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 2: the conviction of things not seen Hebrews eleven to one.

89
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: And in a college football sense, there are things like,

90
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: for example, North Carolina's run defense. I heard good things

91
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 2: in fall camp. I chose to take away and see approach.

92
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: I did not have faith in it. Well I was wrong.

93
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 2: We'll talk about that game later with Dion Sanders. He

94
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: preached about belief. They were very adamant we're gonna win

95
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: this year. They were very adamant we got the horses

96
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 2: to do it this year. And I just had an

97
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: entire lifetime's worth of watching college football and hopefully having

98
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 2: good instincts from watching it working against me because nothing

99
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: they're doing has ever been done to this degree. People

100
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: have taken transfers before. They haven't built a team off

101
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: transfers and put it together and had it all gel

102
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: and gone out and won immediately. They've never done that,

103
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: no one has. So you had to have total blind faith,

104
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 2: and they did. And it really doesn't matter who else

105
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: believed in them, Like I've listened to Deon talk a

106
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: lot about that really doesn't matter. Doesn't matter if a

107
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: soul outside that locker room believes in them. They believed,

108
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: and so they got it done yesterday. Now here's what

109
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: I could not help but continue to take away from

110
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 2: watching them as they not only got the early lead,

111
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: but you knew the CounterPunch was coming from TCU, and

112
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: TCU landed several and then Colorado delivered right back. That's

113
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: the kind of stuff probably that took a lot of

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: people more by surprise than just some really good athletes

115
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: making plays early on. Like we see the cattle prod

116
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 2: approach all the time at college football. That's where they

117
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: just kind of stun gun you to the neck and

118
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: you're staggered and you're on the ropes. But eventually the deeper,

119
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 2: more seasoned veteran team responds. And yesterday that would have

120
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: looked like it did early and then TCU pulls away.

121
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 2: That's what that would have looked like. Colorado never let

122
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 2: it happen. Obviously, they never let it happen. Deon's got

123
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: really good players out there. It's got really good coaches too.

124
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 2: I think he's done a really good job of kind

125
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: of sharing that praise and evening the butter out over

126
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 2: the bread, so to speak. He's always gonna take a

127
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: lot of credit. He should take a lot of credit.

128
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: He deserves a lot of credit. But part of the

129
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: credit he deserves is hiring guys like Sean Lewis, his

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator, who was a head coach in the MAC

131
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: and left to go be his OC. Charles Kelly was

132
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 2: one of the most valuable pieces on Nick Saban's staff.

133
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: He left to go out there and be the DC.

134
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 2: They got guys on their coaching roster who have been

135
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: there before. They've done it. They've been around winners. And

136
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: not that that locker room full of kids lacks for confidence,

137
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 2: but a lot of that locker room full of kids

138
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,559
Speaker 2: have not been on winners yet. At the college level,

139
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: these coaches have Dion has as a player. The coaches have,

140
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: in some cases as players ain't coaches, and so it

141
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: was so glaringly apparent when you saw Colorado yesterday and

142
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 2: you expected them to finally have the moment overcome them.

143
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: The moment never overcame them. That stuff, quite frankly as

144
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: stuff sports writers love to talk a lot about. I

145
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: don't think they even care, like it never even phased them.

146
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: Did you ever watch this game yesterday and say, uh oh,

147
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 2: there it is. Heat's being turned up on him? Like,

148
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 2: did Travis Hunter really look like he cared that? I

149
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: bet the viewership is up over three million households across

150
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: the country on this game. Now I'm getting a little nervous.

151
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: Now he just did stuff like that, total alien play,

152
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: complete alien play. He played like one hundred and forty

153
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 2: plus snaps yesterday. Everyone's talking about fatigue, everyone's talking about

154
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 2: how winded he is. Meanwhile, postgame press conference, how do

155
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: you feel I could probably play again? You know, I

156
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: feel good. I feel pretty good. I'm going to suggest

157
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: to you the modern athlete is a little bit different

158
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: in some cases, and there aren't really many others like him.

159
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 2: I had a guy, I'd look it up if it

160
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't take me like two minutes. I had a guy

161
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 2: friendly enough come at me about two hours ago and say,

162
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 2: why all the Travis Hunter hype like Allie did? And

163
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: this is dead serious now. Allie did was have one

164
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: hundred yards receiving, played both ways, had an interception and

165
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 2: a pass break up. This is this dude not joking.

166
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: He's talking to me seriously, and he said, aren't we

167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: over hyping him a little bit? Travis Hunter plays and

168
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 2: starts and shines for every other college football program out

169
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: there and would be drafted very highly right now if

170
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: he could go to the NFL. So no, we're not

171
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: overhving him. If you didn't watch this game yesterday and

172
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: you've just heard the talk, everything they're saying about him

173
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: is true. We did the whole We did the whole show,

174
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 2: hey honey, comparison about a month ago. We put it

175
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 2: on a YouTube short. That thing did more traffic yesterday

176
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: than it did when we released it, Jesse, which goes

177
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: to show you what Google was doing yesterday with his name. Look,

178
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: I'm not going to compare him to show heyo Tony

179
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: after one game. I'm saying we are going to watch

180
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 2: a player at the power five level attempt to and

181
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: be equipped to do something that we don't really see.

182
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: We don't see players play both ways at the major

183
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 2: college level. We just don't see it, you know. It's

184
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: it's funny how there were wildly differing thoughts out there

185
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: about how Dion acted when he came in. Everyone had

186
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 2: an opinion of how Dion acted when he came in,

187
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 2: and should he treat those players like boys college athletes,

188
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: should he treat them like men or more like employees

189
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 2: would be treated. And at the time, I said, look,

190
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: you can't be in the modern area. You can't be

191
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: in the nil araa. You can't be in the players'

192
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: rights era where they enjoy all the trimmings and trappings

193
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: of adulthood but also expect them to be treated like

194
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 2: kids and amateurs when it's really not that anymore. And

195
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: so I never had a problem with the tough love

196
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 2: approach that he had when he walked in. He walked

197
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: in and said, it's my time now. So if I

198
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: sink or swim, I'm going to do it my way.

199
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it with my players. He flat out,

200
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: total locker room full of him. A lot of you

201
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: are not going to be here in the fall, come

202
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 2: to grips with it. It's tough. I'm not saying it's pleasant,

203
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: but that happens in the American workplace, and the powers

204
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: that be in many cases have turned college football into that,

205
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: and so that was their choice. One of the consequences

206
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 2: is it's very much like you saw Dion deal with it.

207
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: That's how it is moving forward. So I didn't have

208
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: a problem with that. Then we get into spring, and

209
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: then we get into summer and then fall, and he's

210
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 2: starting to talk to folks and look him in the

211
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 2: eye and say do you believe? And they're kind of

212
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: skeptical and says, Okay, you don't believe, but you'll see soon.

213
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 2: They win the game yesterday Afterwards, he's looking a reporter

214
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 2: in the eye says do you believe now? And the

215
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: reporter said whatever he said, and he goes, oh, you

216
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: still don't believe. Okay, I can tell you don't believe.

217
00:10:56,160 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: Next question, and everyone had an opinion on it. Accept

218
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 2: me because I really couldn't care less. And you're gonna

219
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 2: hear me say that a lot about Dion Sanders. I

220
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 2: guess it's the same that I view a lot of

221
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: things through the prism of I just know what he's

222
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: hired to do. He's there to deliver. You cannot use

223
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 2: a conventional approach to start off with at the University

224
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 2: of Colorado and deliver. He is not conventional in any shape, form,

225
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: or fashion. It's in your face, it's brash. I think

226
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 2: he's I think he's a little more humble than anyone

227
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: realizes where it's needed. But dealing with media is not

228
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: where being humble is needed. All due respect, because I'm

229
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: over here, I taught behind a microphone. I don't call

230
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 2: myself a journalist, but I'm part of that media infrastructure.

231
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: You don't owe it to me to be humble around me.

232
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: You don't owe it to a locker room or well,

233
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 2: you owe it to your locker room. To be completely different,

234
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,239
Speaker 2: You're accountable to your locker room. You're not really accountable

235
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 2: to the local media or national media. I know that

236
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: a lot of folks want people like Deon Sanders to

237
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: bend a knee to him. I don't. I just don't care.

238
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 2: I don't care, and I don't even have to particularly

239
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 2: love the way he goes about it. It's just it

240
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 2: doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what anyone

241
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: else in my profession think. So I saw a lot

242
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: of people have an issue with him and talk about

243
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 2: how it's not the media's job to believe you're right.

244
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: You're free to do your job how you want to

245
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: as well. It's just that I'm extending him the same courtesy.

246
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 2: That's it. That's all. That's my take on that. But

247
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: here's what happened yesterday. So while everyone is watching Colorado

248
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: look really good on the field, you know, everyone yesterday's

249
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 2: watching Colorado eventually beat TCU, big upset, three touchdown underdog. Wow,

250
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 2: they just lit a fire under TCU. No, friends, that's

251
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 2: not really what happened. I know, it's what happened on

252
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,079
Speaker 2: that given Saturday. Once upon a Saturday, some would say Colorado,

253
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: Dion Sanders in Colorado didn't really beat TCU yesterday and

254
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 2: didn't really put TCU in an uncomfortable position as much

255
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 2: as they put many many head coaches across America in

256
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: an uncomfortable position. This was the talk. This was what

257
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 2: was being texted to me left and right by agents,

258
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: by some coaches brave enough to admit it, and that

259
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: was Oh man, this guy is showing people, or he's

260
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 2: going to show people at least what they'll think is

261
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: possible everywhere. Now picture this. You're Billy Napier at Florida.

262
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 2: You're Steve Sarkesian at Texas. You are a coach that's

263
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,359
Speaker 2: a couple of years in at a well resourced institution,

264
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: and you have not delivered to the degree they want,

265
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: and you've been preaching patients, and you've been preaching how

266
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 2: it can't get turned around overnight, and then all of

267
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: a sudden, Deon Sanders walks in Colorado and does what

268
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: he's doing. I have no idea what the rest of

269
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: the season has in store. I have no idea, obviously,

270
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: because I didn't even know what yesterday had in store.

271
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 2: There is a logical approach that says, okay, there's only

272
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 2: one Dion Sanders, and you certainly cannot expect that approach

273
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: to be sustainable and duplicable at multiple institutions. That's your problem,

274
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 2: because that is logical. You're trying to apply logic to

275
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: an illogical situation. Fan bases who aren't getting a return

276
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: on their emotional investment more than one year in especially,

277
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: don't have time for that, and it's going to create

278
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: a mess. I would imagine the real Dion Sanders' effect

279
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: on the industry is going to be such that patience,

280
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 2: which is already in short supply, will evaporate for a

281
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: lot of guys because their fan bases and their boosters,

282
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: who aren't necessarily experts on the matter, but who have

283
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: pockets deep enough to have their opinion heard, are going

284
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: to look at this and say, I'm telling you this

285
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 2: quot's coming. We need to find our dion. Like the

286
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: guy's got a serial number on his back, one one

287
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: of one. That's how many of him there are out there.

288
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 2: It won't matter. People are going to start saying, where's

289
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: our dion. We need to go get a guy who

290
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: can do what he's done. Good luck, Good luck. Another

291
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 2: fair warning. I issue this every year about one or

292
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 2: two teams. I'm gonna issue it early about Colorado. Recalibration

293
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: of expectation is coming with this team. There is no

294
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: doubt in my mind there are people out there who

295
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: said they won't win four games who are now gonna

296
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 2: recalibrate instead of admitting the wrong. And you know Colorado

297
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: is gonna lose by thirteen to USC and that same person,

298
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 2: even though they're in route to winning seven games, maybe

299
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: is gonna say they couldn't even beat Oregon or usc

300
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: They didn't even beat UCLA or Oregon State. They didn't

301
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 2: beat any of the top teams in the Pac twelve.

302
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: And that person will just watch it happen. It's so seamless.

303
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 2: It happens like you're not even supposed to notice it.

304
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: Those people who are the biggest haters and the biggest doubters,

305
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: instead of ever admitting they're wrong, they just redefine the

306
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: expectations midseason and then hate on you for not meeting

307
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 2: their adjusted expectations. It happened with la You last year,

308
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: it happened with Michigan State two years ago. It'll probably

309
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: happen with Colorado. So I'm not going to do that.

310
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: I'm going to hold them to the same standard we

311
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: had them in the preseason. That over under win total

312
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 2: was three and a half. They are twenty five percent

313
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: of the way to hitting the over and they got

314
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 2: Nebraska this week and that line opened around a field goal,

315
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 2: So we'll see. I got a reminder that I need

316
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: to deliver to you, guys. I appreciate you being tuned in.

317
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 2: I know it was an early start time tonight, so

318
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: I know some people are going to tune in later

319
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: and there's already gonna be a replay of the show

320
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: on the channel. What a surprise that'll be. Let me

321
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: just give you a little reminder, you know what. First off, Colin,

322
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: let's deliver the happy news. First. I got four best bets.

323
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 2: I got four Ramnudle Express picks. The lines came out.

324
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: I did not want to wait on these. We need

325
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: to move on these now. I tweeted these out earlier.

326
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 2: I especially think this first one is going to move

327
00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: pretty quick, or who knows, maybe not. Oklahoma State is

328
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: playing at Arizona State this week. Oklahoma State looked horrific yesterday,

329
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: therefore we love them this week. They are laying two

330
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 2: and a half. We are laying two and a half

331
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 2: with Oklahoma State. Important to get that one early because

332
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 2: I saw it cross three in some places. Next up

333
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,880
Speaker 2: Charlotte plus twenty four and a half at Maryland. Love

334
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: the number there. We have it down closer to nineteen,

335
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: so I love the number there. We're crossing several key numbers.

336
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 2: Next up a team that cashed for us yesterday. We're

337
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: going to ride them again. Liberty is minus twelve and

338
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 2: a half at home against New Mexico State this Saturday.

339
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: We love Liberty by seventeen and a half, so we

340
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: really really like that number, and we bet this exact

341
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: number yesterday and got demolished. We took thirty five and

342
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 2: a half with Arkansas State. They lost seventy three to nothing.

343
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: Don't care. We're gonna do it again. We are taking

344
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 2: Tulsa plus thirty five and a half. They're going to Washington,

345
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: so this is very early. I don't normally hand out

346
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 2: more than one or two games on Sunday. I'm moving

347
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 2: on four of them. I think we're gonna have a

348
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 2: pretty loaded week. Actually, Oklahoma State minus two and a half,

349
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 2: Charlotte plus twenty four and a half, Liberty minus twelve

350
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: and a half, Tulsa plus thirty five and a half. Okay, PSA,

351
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 2: I'm only gonna do this once this year because a

352
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 2: lot of you don't even bet, so you don't care

353
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: about this. But even you guys who don't bet, probably

354
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: have a passing interest in point spreads, and you have

355
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 2: a real interest in clowns. A lot of people expose

356
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: themselves yesterday, So here's how it works. My blanket advice

357
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: to you is, don't ever bet on sports. That's just

358
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,160
Speaker 2: my blanket advice. If I had to give one piece

359
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 2: of advice for humanity, it would be don't bet on sports. Now.

360
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: Knowing that a lot of you are gonna do it,

361
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 2: I try and tell you do it responsibly. Don't be

362
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 2: betting money you don't have, have proper money management, define

363
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,160
Speaker 2: your unit size, immunity, et cetera, et cetera. And then

364
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: I tell you I'm gonna give you some games every

365
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: week on this show. We call it the rama Noudle express.

366
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 2: Its intent is to keep you off a diet of

367
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 2: ramen noodles. I want you to be able to afford

368
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: that ten ounce fil a or filet where I'm from,

369
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 2: if you so desire. But the one rule that I

370
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: give you, guys, is either bet every one of the

371
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 2: games I give you, or don't bet a single one.

372
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: Do not pick and choose, because if I hand out

373
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: one hundred games and you only bet the ones you

374
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 2: agree with me on, you might as well not bet

375
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,159
Speaker 2: any of them because your net result will be the

376
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 2: exact same winning percentage you would have had on your own.

377
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 2: It trusts me, the math works out on that. So

378
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: here's what happens every week. One without fail. I will

379
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: have people who don't know anything about betting and have

380
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 2: no business having a sports book account, who have opened one,

381
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: and they don't get how this stuff works, and they'll

382
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 2: go and they'll pick two or three games, and inevitably

383
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 2: they'll pick losers, and then they'll come back at me

384
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 2: and they'll start chirping, like have the audacity to chirp?

385
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: So here is the one PSA. It's the one warning.

386
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: I'm not Brandon Walker. Okay, I don't block people on

387
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 2: social media, but so help me. If you come in

388
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 2: my DMS and you're talking about bet I didn't force

389
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 2: you to make especially on a day where we ended

390
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 2: up winning. We went three and two yesterday, Stats and

391
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,239
Speaker 2: Info ran the numbers. I have it right here. It

392
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 2: turns out that's sixty percent. That's really good, especially on

393
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 2: a day we win. But even if we go zero

394
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 2: to five. If you come at me and you start

395
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 2: running your mouth, either passively, aggressively or especially aggressively, that

396
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: really makes you a clown. I am blocking you. You

397
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: will not be able to hear from me anymore. I

398
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: won't hear from you anymore. Bet them all or don't

399
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 2: bet at all. Don't be cherry picking, and especially if

400
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 2: you cherry pick, losers don't be coming at me. So

401
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: ninety nine percent of you, that doesn't apply to the

402
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 2: one percent you know who you are. Let's move on.

403
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: What a game in Charlotte last night? So North Carolina

404
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 2: beat South Carolina thirty one to seventeen. And it's a

405
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 2: huge rivalry, huge rivalry. But I'm not talking about game

406
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: Cox tar Heels. The big rivalry I'm talking about right

407
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 2: now it rages on is me versus the model. I

408
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:04,639
Speaker 2: share with you candidly last week, the model loved North

409
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 2: Carolina loved him. I called the model names because it is,

410
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 2: after all, an inanimate object. It doesn't have feelings. I

411
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: don't think except about Texas. And I not only forsook

412
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: the model. I actively went in the other direction and

413
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 2: I took South Carolina. And how dumb did I feel

414
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 2: last night? I didn't have as bad a night as

415
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 2: a South Carolina offensive lineman, mind you, but it was

416
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: tough on me. It was tough on me because I

417
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 2: don't know. In the words of Richard Marks, I guess

418
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 2: I just should have known better. So here it is

419
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: Mac Brown. We talked about tes Walker all week and

420
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 2: he was not declared eligible, and I will drag the

421
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: NCAA rightfully so in just a second for that. But

422
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 2: we got a padlock stat. We got a good old

423
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: fashioned padlock stat, first one of Week one padlock stats.

424
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 2: For those of you who are new around here, those

425
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: are the stats where if I told you this before kickoff,

426
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: you wouldn't have needed to watch the game. You would

427
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 2: have already known the outcome. Well, if I told you

428
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: South Carolina was gonna have minus two yards rushing, you

429
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 2: would not have needed to watch the game. Yes, that

430
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: is with sack yardage included, which is significant because of

431
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: the next stat I'm going to give you. South Carolina

432
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: allowed sixteen tackles for loss nine sacks, so there was

433
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 2: significant yardage shaved off that rushing total for sack yardage.

434
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 2: It is the most sacks allowed by North Carolina in

435
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: a game since two thousand. We were fresh off y

436
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: two k the last time a disaster of this magnitude

437
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 2: happened to an offensive line in Columbia, South Carolina. We

438
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 2: don't talk about losers first, we talk about winners. Hats

439
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 2: off to North Carolina. As I admitted earlier, and I

440
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 2: will admit at least once more. I was wrong and

441
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 2: I should have believed a little bit more, a lot

442
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 2: more in this defensive front. So in August on every

443
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 2: show we do, we lead it with what we lead

444
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: it with, practice, intel, team whispers, insiders, points of view

445
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 2: on teams. And there I was, about three weeks ago

446
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 2: telling you the guys over at Inside Carolina, specifically Ben Sherman,

447
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,199
Speaker 2: they were communicating with us that this defensive line was

448
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: ready to shock the world. They had kids like Tamari

449
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: Fox who didn't even play last year, as well as

450
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: guys who have been highly recruited guys in the past

451
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 2: and just haven't as a collective performed up to the

452
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: level of expectation. They kept telling us Ben Sherman and

453
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 2: company over They're kept telling us this is for real

454
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 2: this time, this is not a drill. And I was

455
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 2: just slow to believe because I've bought in and been

456
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: bitten before counting on any kind of even average improvement

457
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 2: from North Carolina defensively. And yet here it is last night.

458
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 2: Now some of you, because I know it's one week

459
00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 2: sample size, you'll still sit there and say, well, this

460
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 2: doesn't prove much. Called South Carolina just it was like

461
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 2: ghosts I mean, you might as well put five Chali

462
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: on the offensive line. They would have had a better

463
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: luck stopping that pass rush than than South Carolina actually did.

464
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 2: And look, I get where you're going with that. It's

465
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: an argument that is as old as time. After one week,

466
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 2: anyone who does something good, there's always a yeah, butt

467
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 2: or well. But I'm just gonna judge it based off

468
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 2: what it looked like. And it looked like harassment all night,

469
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: like you do that stuff on the streets and a

470
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: lot of y'all are waking up in jail this morning.

471
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,199
Speaker 2: But you didn't. You did it where you were supposed to.

472
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 2: So no devontees Walker at receiver for Carolina, which many

473
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 2: of you dm me and just asked me to refer

474
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: to North Carolina as you said. I don't need an apology.

475
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 2: I don't need you to admit you were wrong. I

476
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 2: just want you to call us Carolina in the game recap.

477
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: So there you go. That's that's fair. I think those

478
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: conditions are fair. So Carolina without Devonte Walker still inexplicably ineligible,

479
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 2: and we don't even have a ruling on his status

480
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: from the NCAA. Apparently on a long labor day weekend

481
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 2: vacation up there, they still had five receivers with three

482
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 2: plus receptions. They averaged eleven point two yards per catch.

483
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 2: That's getting it done. Josh Downs is gone, tes Walker

484
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 2: not eligible, and still they didn't really miss a beat,

485
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: at least to the common eye, they didn't miss a beat.

486
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 2: South Carolina's got real issues. I got a new game.

487
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: I want to play with you around here, and that

488
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 2: is when there is a perceived crisis on a team.

489
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: Don't we need some scale around here? Like as a staff,

490
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: we've decided we need some scale. So we're either going

491
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: to call these casual concerns or credible concerns or outright crisis.

492
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 2: And I'm not ready to say crisis yet. I'm teetering

493
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 2: on it. But at the very least, the offensive line

494
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 2: is a very credible concern. You were not a casual

495
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 2: If you're worried about the South Carolina offensive line. They

496
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: averaged on the ground last night negative zero point one

497
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 2: yards per carry. Mathematically it should be impossible. But when

498
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: you tackle on sack yardage and tackles for loss, yes,

499
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 2: their net result last night was every time they tried

500
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 2: to run the ball, they went backwards on average, they

501
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: went backwards, and then I think to myself self, some

502
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: things in college football get cleaned up. You know, happens

503
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 2: every year. It will happen with this team somewhere. But

504
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 2: do I really watch the guys they trotted out there

505
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: last night and think to myself, Oh, that'll be a

506
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 2: completely different looking unit when they go to Georgia in

507
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: two weeks, you know, when they play Mississippi State and

508
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: senior senior, senior, senior senior on the defensive front. Oh,

509
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 2: they'll be fine by then. Hey, Florida's defensive front can

510
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 2: get after you. We watched Tennessee from field level yesterday.

511
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: They didn't look bad. You think South Carolina's gonna fare

512
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 2: better at Texas A and M. They've got to play

513
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 2: Clemson still, they got to play Kentucky. Still. You quickly

514
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: start seeing how things could unravel. Now they got firm

515
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 2: in this weekend, should be okay, my fingers crossed doubly

516
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 2: if you're listening on podcasts, But it could with this

517
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: kind of schedule, it could quickly snowball, and injuries piled

518
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: up on them and continue to pile up on them,

519
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 2: so it could snowball. So this game right here, this

520
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 2: North Carolina win. That is a classic CHECKBAC game. About

521
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: a month from now, you're gonna want to check back

522
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 2: because you know as well as I do, if you've

523
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: watched the sport for any length of time, there are

524
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 2: games early in the year where you put a value

525
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: on it the moment it happens. So the value we

526
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 2: put on this yesterday is really really good for North Carolina.

527
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 2: South Carolina is terrible. That's just the average feel that

528
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 2: I got from the game. When I pulled a few

529
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: of you. Well, we could get oh, I don't know,

530
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 2: a month down the road, and maybe South Carolina is

531
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 2: just a disaster. And so in your mind you look

532
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:52,879
Speaker 2: back and you say, maybe I shouldn't have thought that

533
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: highly about Carolina after that, or maybe South Carolina goes

534
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 2: and upsets Georgia, shocks the world, and meanwhile North Carolina

535
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 2: is just rolling and you're thinking to yourself, who at

536
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: the time, Yeah, I was impressed with that win they had,

537
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 2: but it was even more impressive than I imagine. We

538
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 2: didn't really know how big a win and how good

539
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: a win that was from North Carolina. Check Back game.

540
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 2: We have them all over the place. Check back game.

541
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 2: Check back about a month from now. Check with me

542
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 2: right now actually for Academy Sports and Outdoors having everything

543
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 2: you need and then some for Labor Day weekend. I

544
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 2: know you guys are gonna do what we call celebrating

545
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: a holiday tomorrow. I'm told it's a company holiday. I

546
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 2: really don't even know if we do that on this

547
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: staff anymore. I don't know. Maybe we'll grill a hot

548
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: dog in the kitchen somewhere. But you guys live normal lives.

549
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: You get to do this. So if you need a grill,

550
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors, if you need to gear up

551
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: for tailgating. I know some of you have your first

552
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: home games this week. Academy Sports and Outdoors. They got

553
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: you covered. They've got our show cover to the point

554
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 2: where we don't even have to charge you for it.

555
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: We just get to deliver it free of charge. And

556
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: it is a very, very big blessing to have them

557
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 2: on board. It is the time of year right now

558
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: where if you walk in Academy, it's really beautiful because

559
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: you have still all the equipment for the summer type

560
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 2: sports and summer months, but also they're starting to transition

561
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 2: while you get into the burr months. September October, November, December.

562
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 2: Then they start to get some different kind of gear

563
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 2: on the shelves and it's like it's perfect time of year.

564
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 2: You're surprised they have that much shelf space, but they

565
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: do magical places Academy Sports Outdoors, and if you can't

566
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360

Speaker 2: and we appreciate it. Don't mind the sound if you're

570
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: listening on podcasts. I'm just trying to gather my thoughts

571
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: about how I want to approach this next game. Probably

572
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 2: chapstick tome and I didn't bring any out here, so

573
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: i'one's gonna chuck some normal water. This is not even

574
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 2: the chalice here. This is just good old fashioned public

575
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 2: spring water, as is usually ceremonial on the show. I'm

576
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna give you a thought. I'm gonna take

577
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: a chug. Can tell me what you think the thought is.

578
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: Ohio State's offense yesterday. Pardon me for a second. Hmm,

579
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: So here we go. Ohio State beat Indiana yesterday. That's

580
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: the good news. For the Buckeyes twenty three to three,

581
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 2: and boy, where there are some takes on this one.

582
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 2: So I gotta be honest with you. I don't share

583
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 2: a popular opinion with most of you on this game.

584
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: You know, I got Ohio State in the National title game,

585
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 2: and I was getting laughed at yesterday after this result.

586
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 2: I believe if art galleries were run by a lot

587
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 2: of you, they would just be empty because a lot

588
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 2: of you would throw the painting away when it was

589
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 2: a quarter of the way done, and you would say

590
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 2: this painting sucks, and the artist would be like, it's

591
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: not done. Like wait a second, understand where I'm going

592
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 2: with this. Nope, nope, take your brush, take your easel,

593
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: get out of here next. That's how a lot of

594
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: folks watch football. That's how a lot of folks judge

595
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 2: football teams week one. You ignore me Maw's advice. You

596
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 2: don't just observe week one. A lot of you draw

597
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 2: conclusions in week one. It will bite you. It's bitten

598
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: you before. I think you get amnesia every single off season,

599
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 2: which some of you celebrate proudly apparently, and you're right

600
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: back to diving into conclusions after Week one and the

601
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 2: conclusion is Ohio State's offense is terrible. They're gonna lose

602
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: two or three games and burn it down. Let's start

603
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: all over. I smiled yesterday as I watched this game,

604
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: and I didn't smile because I'm anti Ohio State. In fact,

605
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm kind of rooting for them because selfishly, I want

606
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 2: to be right and I want to see him go

607
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 2: to the national title game. I was not shook. A

608
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: lot of people shook when I watched this yesterday. I

609
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,959
Speaker 2: smiled and I smiled because of this quote which I

610
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 2: kept in my back pocket from a show two weeks ago,

611
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 2: and it sounds a little something like this quote. I

612
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 2: think Ohio State's going to play for a national championship.

613
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: I also think Ohio State could look really ugly to

614
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 2: start the season. That quote was delivered by me on

615
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 2: this show. I got exactly what I thought i'd get yesterday.

616
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: Believe it or not, I thought they'd look hideous offensively,

617
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: because I don't think the quarterback situation and the offensive

618
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 2: line situation has lent itself to firing on all cylinders

619
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: out of the gate. I saw a really good question

620
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 2: over on Bucknuts earlier. I was perusing. I was just

621
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 2: trying to feel out the fan base, and they are

622
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: varying degrees of unhappy right now. But someone said, well,

623
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 2: this was about a three touchdown. When what if we

624
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: won forty two to twenty one instead, because that would

625
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: be kind of a normal Ohio State score for the

626
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 2: past several years. What if we won forty two to

627
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 2: twenty one and the general consensus was I would probably

628
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 2: be a lot more comfortable because what would that mean, Well,

629
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: that would mean the offense is right there where it

630
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: needs to be, and the talking point would be, we

631
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: just got to clean some things up defensively. I look

632
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 2: at this team in a totally inverted direction. I would

633
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: much rather look at defense completely suffocate a team. And

634
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: by the way, it's the first time Ohio States held

635
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: a team to three or less since twenty nineteen. They

636
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 2: don't do this stuff, even against horrific offenses. Ohio State

637
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 2: does not play this kind of defense, but maybe they

638
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 2: do now. I'd a whole lot rather have that defense

639
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 2: playing that caliber and looking at Ohio State and saying, mm,

640
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 2: when offense gets going, then this will be a championship

641
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 2: caliber team. Because there's a thing that I can assume

642
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 2: a lot easier. I can assume a lot easier. Ryan

643
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 2: Day and his staff are eventually going to get a

644
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: pretty good offensive product on the field, then I can

645
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: Ohio State is gonna put a really solid defensive product

646
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 2: into the field if I don't already have it like

647
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 2: cause I've seen no track record in recent history to

648
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 2: indicate they're gonna be anywhere close to elite defensively. So

649
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: if all of a sudden they look like that, and

650
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 2: I do have a track record of them being really

651
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: good offensively, I'll just take my chances there. Like I'm

652
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: a guy who thinks the world of them. I thought

653
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 2: they looked terrible yesterday, so I got what I expected,

654
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 2: so I'm not upset about it. I just wonder what

655
00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 2: those staff meetings sound like today. That's what I wonder.

656
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly had a good line last night. They ended

657
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 2: up beating Coastal Carolina, but it wasn't really pretty, but

658
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 2: they beat Coastal Carolina, and he said, selfishly, as a coach,

659
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: sometimes these are the kinds of wins you want. Early. Yeah,

660
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 2: you'd love to dominate, you'd love to run it up

661
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,440
Speaker 2: and score half a hundred, But selfishly, for what I

662
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 2: need to put in this team's head the rest of

663
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: the way. It's really good if we win ugly games early.

664
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 2: And I wonder how many other staffs feel that way

665
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: right now. I wonder how many other staffs. I wonder

666
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 2: if we may not have a staff in Columbus, Ohio

667
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 2: that was a little bit more hidden smile behind the curtain.

668
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 2: Pleased that they won yesterday, but it was kind of

669
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 2: ugly because you sometimes never know. You never know how

670
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 2: a staff really feels because they're pretty closed off with

671
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 2: that kind of information. Look, Ohio State's offensive staff could

672
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 2: be sitting there saying, Kyle McCord's our guy at quarterback,

673
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 2: bar none, let's commit to him, and let's ride him

674
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 2: in as far as he can take us. That's where

675
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: we're going to go. It could be that's the case.

676
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 2: I'm not claiming to know anything otherwise. I am claiming

677
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 2: to have a little hunch that that's not totally the case.

678
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: I am claiming to have a little hunch that that

679
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 2: entire coaching staff is not all in on Kyle McCord.

680
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: Because you got Devin Brown in that room too, And

681
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 2: so you know, let's say I'm running peyt State and

682
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: I got a couple of quarterbacks and maybe I put

683
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 2: one out there and I ride him the whole way.

684
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 2: I don't really insert the other guy because I wanted

685
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 2: to be glaringly obvious what we've got with him. I'm

686
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 2: not saying Kyle McCord played bad football yesterday. Offensive line

687
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,240
Speaker 2: left a lot to be desired. It's a collective effort.

688
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:18,759
Speaker 2: You get all that. We all understand how football works,

689
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 2: I think, but I watched what happened yesterday and Kyle McCord.

690
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 2: You wouldn't define him as electric game breaker. You wouldn't

691
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 2: call him elite in any way, at least at this

692
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,480
Speaker 2: point in his career. And there's been really good feedback

693
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 2: come out of that camp from some people about Devin Brown.

694
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 2: So what I wonder, without an answer right now, is

695
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 2: I wonder if that staff doesn't get together and meet

696
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 2: and instead of saying what you think they're saying, I

697
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: wonder if that staff doesn't get together and meet and say,

698
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 2: all right, there you go. And maybe you're looking across

699
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 2: the room at certain people and saying, all right, there

700
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 2: you go. You wanted to ride McCay, Well, this is

701
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 2: us with Kyle McCord. So now who wants to try

702
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: the Devin Brown experience out. I just wonder, just wonder

703
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 2: if that may not be the dynamic there. So I

704
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 2: wasn't surprised by what I saw yesterday. But my feel

705
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 2: is that defense is where it needs to be. My

706
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: feel is offense will eventually get where it needs to be.

707
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 2: My feel with that defense is offense does not need

708
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 2: to be where it's been in the past and in

709
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 2: the aggregate, get that offensive line figured out, which which

710
00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: has a ways to go. Based on what we saw yesterday, Yes,

711
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 2: I still think exactly what I thought about Ohio State

712
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: this time last week. I still think they can win

713
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 2: every game they play. I still think they can be

714
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: a national championship caliber team. I'm just glad we don't

715
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 2: play it next week. I'm glad they don't play Michigan

716
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 2: next week. I'm glad they don't play the Big Ten

717
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: title game or a playoff game next week. That is

718
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,520
Speaker 2: the beauty of this sport. You get twelve of these things,

719
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 2: not just one. They're watching us in Brooklyn, New York,

720
00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 2: San Jose, California, and we Dowy, Alabama, or as they

721
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 2: call it, the Brooklyn of East Central Alabama. We appreciate

722
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: you guys being tuned in. I had a little adventure yesterday,

723
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 2: and I was not alone. I had a little adventure

724
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 2: with a couple of people who may or may not exist.

725
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: One of him is named director Colin. The other one

726
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 2: is named producer Jesse. And we marched ourselves right across

727
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: the Cumberland River and we went to Nissan Stadium and

728
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: we watched Tennessee and Virginia and a good time was

729
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 2: had by all, aside from our Virginia brethren. I'm gonna

730
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 2: take a sip from the chalice and I'm gonna tell

731
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 2: you exactly what I think about this. Oh by the way,

732
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 2: I got thoughts on a ton of other teams coming up.

733
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I got, you know, believe it or not,

734
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: three six, seven, eight not. I guess like eleven teams

735
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 2: left to talk about. But it's gonna go quicker than

736
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 2: it sounds, So don't worry. We're going to be out

737
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 2: of here way before FSU and LSU kick off. And

738
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 2: if you're listening on podcasts, ignore what I just said.

739
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,760
Speaker 2: So interesting score here. Okay, So Tennessee beat Virginia forty

740
00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: nine to thirteen. Yesterday we were at this one over there.

741
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 2: It was not the once upon a Saturday tour stop.

742
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 2: That was Thursday night. We just went over there because

743
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: it was in our backyard. So you look at forty

744
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 2: nine points being hung and you say, wow, Tennessee exploded

745
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: out of the gate. No, they did not. They did not.

746
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 2: In fact, in a shortened game because of new clock rules,

747
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: they found a way to hang half one hundred, even

748
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 2: though out of their first five drives, four of them

749
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 2: ended in a punt or a turnover. So it was

750
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 2: kind of slow out of the gate. But that was

751
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: normal college football stuff. That's a casual concern. That's not

752
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 2: a legitimate concern. That's just a casual concern. Joe Milton

753
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: I got a story to tell you about him in

754
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:44,080
Speaker 2: a second. But Joe Milton twenty one to thirty two

755
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 2: hundred yards through the air, a couple of touchdowns, thirty

756
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 2: three on the ground, another couple of touchdowns. I don't

757
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 2: know that I could have expected any more from him,

758
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 2: and a debut as a starter. I was happy. I

759
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 2: was pleased with what I saw from him. Offensive line, though,

760
00:39:59,840 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 2: was a big concern for Tennessee coming into this game,

761
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 2: and that's really the area where all things considered, Cooper

762
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: Mays is out. I thought that unit stepped up. You're

763
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 2: not gonna go back if you have access to all

764
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 2: twenty two film and look at it and say, oh

765
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:17,759
Speaker 2: what a clinic just procedural, Look at this. They annihilated Virginia.

766
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 2: They weren't going to it's a bunch of new pieces anyway,

767
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,040
Speaker 2: and then you got one of your focal points out.

768
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 2: They did. They did more than well enough to obviously

769
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 2: win a game and run away from a team and

770
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,520
Speaker 2: win a game. But Joe Milton on that opening drive,

771
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 2: I think it was he's coming right down to our

772
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 2: end of the field and there was a fourth down play,

773
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 2: I think it was fourth and five, and he went

774
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 2: through progressions and he checked that ball down and they

775
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 2: got it in the end zone, and I was over

776
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: on the Tennessee sideline at the end of the day,

777
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: were so ecstatic, not just that they scored, but they

778
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:53,920
Speaker 2: saw him do what as a coaching staff they hope

779
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 2: he has the maturation to do or the maturity to do.

780
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: And so I just kind of always tucked that kind

781
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: of stuff away because that's week one. You know, it's

782
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 2: the kind of place you expect the guy to be

783
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 2: in Week six, Week one, though, that's just a good sign.

784
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 2: It's Virginia. I know what the comment section will say, Well,

785
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 2: yet it's just Virginia. I get it. It's like a

786
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 2: blanket statement. You can make about ninety five percent of

787
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: teams who played in Week one, But Josh Hipel develops quarterbacks.

788
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: I could go in a hype video one day. I

789
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: think Josh Hipel develops quarterbacks. Though, So when I see

790
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 2: them have three running backs get twelve plus carries, I

791
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 2: see five point five yards per carry, and I have

792
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,640
Speaker 2: what they had on the offensive line, and that's my

793
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:39,959
Speaker 2: starting point. I do have legitimate reason with Tennessee quarterbacks

794
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: to think it's only onward and upward from here. I

795
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 2: don't say that about everyone. I just trust the developmental

796
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,760
Speaker 2: process there at that position to where I mean if

797
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 2: I got fifty two carries two hundred and eighty seven

798
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 2: yards at the tailback position, so I'm solid there. They

799
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 2: trust a number of guys at that position. I know

800
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,399
Speaker 2: that quarterback is what it is and will get better

801
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 2: for me barring injury. I feel good. I don't know

802
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 2: what I'll tell you. I feel really good. There was

803
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: a point early in this game where Ramel Keaton dropped

804
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: a bomb, would have been a bomb, probably touchdown pass,

805
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: but at the very least a long completion. So I

806
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 2: told myself, that looks like it was about sixty five

807
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 2: in the air. He looks like he threw the ball

808
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 2: about sixty five yards in the air. And I went

809
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: back and watched it. That's pretty much what it was,

810
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 2: about sixty five in the air. So before this game,

811
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 2: I got over to the stadium a little bit early.

812
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 2: We had some stuff to do, and I got over

813
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:32,240
Speaker 2: to the stadium early. I went up to the press

814
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 2: box because I cannot explain to you in strong enough

815
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 2: terms how much I love eleven am kickoffs because we

816
00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: get to eat breakfast, Big breakfast guy. And so I'm

817
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 2: sitting up there, Producer Jesse's next to me, We're talking

818
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 2: to some folks. Tennessee has arrived at the stadium, so

819
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 2: it's before normal warm ups. Milton's down there throwing. I

820
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 2: didn't really realize. I wasn't paying a lot of attention.

821
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: He's still in his he's like hoodie. I mean, he's

822
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: not even in warm up close yet. So I see

823
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 2: out of the corner of my eye what looks like

824
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 2: the trajectory of a punt. If you've been in football stadiums,

825
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 2: you know what that looks like. And so it's the

826
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 2: difference between a pop up and a home run ball usually.

827
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 2: And so I look down there and a receiver catches it,

828
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 2: like I'm kind of seeing this out of the corner

829
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 2: of my eye. I look down there and Milton's throwing.

830
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 2: He's on the opposite thirty yard line, and I watch

831
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 2: him and he is no crow hop He's just throwing

832
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 2: balls seventy yards in the air to receivers running like

833
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 2: simulated twenty yard go routes. I've never seen him do

834
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 2: it in person. I've heard stories about it. I've never

835
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 2: seen his arm in person until yesterday. Then he backed

836
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: up and he was throwing at eighty in the air

837
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 2: and it still looked effortless. And I was texting somebody saying,

838
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 2: you will not believe what I'm watching right now. So

839
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 2: then in the game when they finally threw it deep

840
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 2: and it was dropped. So it's not on anyone like

841
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: you know, highlight reel. He just he just flicks the

842
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 2: ball sixty five in the air. Dime just dropped it

843
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 2: right in a bucket, no problem. I don't know that

844
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 2: there's a stronger arm out there, like Anthony Richardson was

845
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 2: a total freak of nature last year with his arm strength.

846
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 2: I don't know what kind of charity we have to

847
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,399
Speaker 2: set up to make it happen. I just i'd love

848
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 2: to see those two shot for shot. Look, I think

849
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 2: Milton may be able to throw the ball one hundred

850
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 2: yards in the air if he gets a little bit

851
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: of wind behind him and he double crow hops it.

852
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, he looked like he was throwing

853
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,319
Speaker 2: on the moon yesterday in warm ups. You'd have to

854
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:36,920
Speaker 2: see it. I know you may be calling bs on that.

855
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 2: I'm telling you it was effortless. He's throwing the ball

856
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: seventy yards in the air, no crow hop. So I'm

857
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:45,280
Speaker 2: sure a bunch of you can do that with NERF balls.

858
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: I know it's not impressive to some of you, but

859
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: to me it was. I need to talk to you

860
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,359
Speaker 2: about a couple of teams here. I'm gonna announce, by

861
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 2: the way, in a few minutes, the destination for the

862
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: Once upon a Saturday tour This Saturday Deep week. We

863
00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 2: had a really deep week, got a number of games

864
00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 2: on the that we could go to do me a favor.

865
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 2: If you're watching live and a ton of you are,

866

Speaker 2: of it's free, no process, no forms to fill out,

872
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: no spam, no nothing, just it helps us. I watched

873
00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,880
Speaker 2: Bama and I watched Georgia yesterday, and these were not

874
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 2: like main event games, but their main event teams. Like

875
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 2: both of these teams will figure in the SEC and

876
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:34,920
Speaker 2: national championship braces. So Bama beat Middle Tennessee State pretty soundly.

877
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 2: And I cannot tell you how many times people have

878
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 2: told me Bama doesn't have a quarterback, just because they

879
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 2: hadn't settled on one. Bama doesn't have a quarterback. Half

880
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: of my staff thinks that Bama doesn't have a quarterback.

881
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 2: Whatever you can prove against Middle Tennessee State, you decide

882
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 2: that in your own mind. Jalen Milroll looked pretty good yesterday.

883
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 2: Now I have a set expectation for him, so he

884
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 2: is not Bryce Young in my mind, Therefore, when he

885
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: goes thirteen of eighteen for one hundred and ninety four

886
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: through the air, and he added another forty eight on

887
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: the ground, had five total touchdowns, no interceptions, no turnovers.

888
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: Like that, to me is a great Jalen Milroe game.

889
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: But there was a padlock stat in this game that

890
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 2: totally went over everyone's head because you weren't watching because

891
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 2: it's a blowout. But if you remember Alabama games last year,

892
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 2: watched this touchdown, by the way, total alien play. If

893
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:32,320
Speaker 2: you remember Bama games last year, and those of you

894
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: who are Obama fans know where I'm going with this,

895
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 2: there was something that probably drove you up a wall

896
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 2: week after week after week, and that is the fact

897
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,959
Speaker 2: that they averaged nearly eight penalties per game for about

898
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,760
Speaker 2: seventy yards per game. At two penalties yesterday, and here's

899
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: the padlock stat. None of them were on the offensive line,

900
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,560
Speaker 2: which is like the prayer emoji come to real life

901
00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:58,799
Speaker 2: for Alabama fans. And it was the biggest mystery in

902
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 2: the sport. How did alab Obama all of a sudden

903
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:02,600
Speaker 2: become one of the most undisciplined teams in terms of

904
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 2: penalties in college football? Well, several theories out there, and

905
00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: we're only through one game this year that looks to

906
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,799
Speaker 2: have stopped. The energy their defense played with yesterday. I

907
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 2: do not care if it was against air. The energy

908
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,960
Speaker 2: their defense played with yesterday, the physicality, the flying to

909
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 2: the football, the aggressiveness, the technique tackling, it's been void.

910
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:29,360
Speaker 2: It just hasn't been there. And they went and hired

911
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 2: Kevin Steele, and that was met with a collective ooh

912
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 2: from people. Whatever it is they did between last year

913
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 2: and this year, I just find that button and I

914
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 2: keep on president. Like Lawson has been there for a

915
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 2: couple of years. He looked like a monster last night.

916
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 2: And for the record, that's a guy in our team.

917
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: Intel we kept on telling you about Dante Lawson at

918
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:57,560
Speaker 2: middle linebacker is a guy who's been like one of

919
00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 2: the stars of their fall camp. Yeah, keep him healthy

920
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:02,840
Speaker 2: and that'll be one of the best players in college

921
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: football this year. So remember back at SEC media Day,

922
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 2: as I told you, we talked to Nick Saban and

923
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 2: I got a pretty good read on how he felt

924
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: about his coordinator hires. And it wasn't how the rest

925
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: of America felt. The rest of America and a lot

926
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 2: of Alabama fans frankly looked at him hiring Tommy Reese

927
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: as his OC and Kevin Steele as his DC, and

928
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 2: they thought, oh man, these are average to blow average hires.

929
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: And there are a lot of metrics out there, a

930
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 2: lot of people who know how to grade that stuff

931
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: that would agree with that. And I'm not disagreeing with it.

932
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 2: I'm just saying Nick Saban's different than pretty much anyone else.

933
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:42,160
Speaker 2: And so the vibe I got off Saban without him

934
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,879
Speaker 2: outright saying it was there are about thirty coordinators out

935
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 2: there I can win with if I have the right

936
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:51,040
Speaker 2: team mentally, because I know how talented we are. So

937
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,400
Speaker 2: as long as I just have a team wired the

938
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 2: right way, there are thirty different guys I can put

939
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: an OC or a DC name tag on and we'll

940
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 2: be good. I think that's the kind of team he's got,

941
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 2: And so the Matphis Kevin Steele, thatmtraphicks Tommy Reese doesn't

942
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 2: matter really who it is. He's got the right guys

943
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 2: from a mental standpoint, at least it appears that way, and

944
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: you know I felt that way throughout Fall Camp. So

945
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: you know who they play this week? They play Texas

946
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 2: this week, So any doubts you have, which is totally fair,

947
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,359
Speaker 2: Like if you weren't sold after a Middle Tennessee State win,

948
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: that's cool. You'll get an answered this week. That's the

949
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 2: beauty of the sport. Again, we don't play one game.

950
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 2: We played twelve, so they got a big one this week.

951
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 2: More on that a little bit later, Georgia played UT Martin.

952
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: They won forty eight to seven. They looked really sluggish offensively. Again,

953
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 2: this is something we expected, kind of like with Ohio State.

954
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 2: I expected Bama to look uglier than they did offensively,

955
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 2: so that was a pleasant surprise. I got what I

956
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 2: thought i'd get from Georgia. I got what I thought

957
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 2: i'd get from Ohio State. That's why I'm not freaking

958
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: out about them looking sluggish. But boy, I knew what

959
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,200
Speaker 2: was coming. I knew when Carson Beck didn't light the

960
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 2: world on fire. I knew when that offensive line did

961
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 2: not blow people off the ball, especially considering it's gut Martin.

962
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 2: I knew what was coming. Mike Bobo hate was coming.

963
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 2: And there is a long and story track record between

964
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 2: the Georgia faithful and Mike Bobo. He's got a history

965
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 2: there and they've got a history, and so when Kirby

966
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 2: had him back in his program and then elevated him

967
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: to OC, I knew when it happened. It feels good now,

968
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 2: but come fall. As soon as that offense done hang

969
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,520
Speaker 2: half one hundred in the first half against an inferior

970
00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:37,759
Speaker 2: opponent could happen in week one. There's a question that's

971
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 2: going to be relevant. And so director Colin has pulled

972
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 2: from the archives me doing the Lord's work. I knew

973
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:46,879
Speaker 2: it was coming, so I went ahead and I asked

974
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:49,800
Speaker 2: Kirby smart two months ago this question. One of the

975
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 2: hardest laughs I've had is when Todd Monkin gets a

976
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 2: job elsewhere. You've known Mike Bobo for like seven hundred years,

977
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 2: and folks who have never met him a day in

978
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: their life were mildly critical and saying, why didn't he

979
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 2: conduct a national search? Why did he just elevate from within?

980
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 2: Plus we've seen Mike Bobo before. We want something new.

981
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:08,919
Speaker 2: I'm delivering that to you just in case you don't

982
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 2: subscribe to the paper these days. So when you listen

983
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 2: to that kind of stuff, what's your reaction other than saying,

984
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 2: shut up?

985
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 3: I love I love it because I'm like it's the

986
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 3: same crowd that when Nel Tucker left, said who's Dan Lannon?

987
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: And the same crowd that when Dan Lane left, who's

988
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:27,319
Speaker 3: Glenn Shuman? And you know when we hired Todd munk

989
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 3: And there's not a lot of people that just were

990
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 3: over abundant with.

991
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: Joy with that hire.

992
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 3: So each hire is going to be graded based on

993
00:51:34,960 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 3: the results in the outcomes, And to me, it's really

994
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 3: a more process related. I'm more thinking of like, who's

995
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 3: going to do the best job with our staff, who

996
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 3: understands our staff, who gives continuity, who's called it before,

997
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,919
Speaker 3: who's coach quarterbacks before? It was a really good fit,

998
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 3: and we brought him in with the fault that if

999
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 3: Munkin never left, we would be comfortable.

1000
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: They got a new quarterback starting up there, They have

1001
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: got any new offensive coordinator, even though Mike Bobo's from

1002
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 2: the system. They are badly banged up, have been throughout

1003
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:05,040
Speaker 2: the majority of fall camp, and they looked lethargic yesterday.

1004
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna give you the reason. It's cause it's

1005
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: not Xbox, it's real life, and that stuff just happens

1006
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 2: in football sometimes. And I did not necessarily expect that

1007
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: I'd be the one having to defend George and telling

1008
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 2: folks to calm down. Folks have labeled me a Georgia

1009
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 2: hater right now because I had the audacity to not

1010
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,760
Speaker 2: predict someone to win a third championship in a row.

1011
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:28,080
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna tell half of you who did pick

1012
00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:31,360
Speaker 2: them to win the title. They'll be fine. This team's

1013
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 2: gonna be right there at the end of the year.

1014
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 2: They'll be fine. It may not look exactly the way

1015
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,919
Speaker 2: you want it to every week, they'll be fine. There

1016
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 2: are people making decisions there that know what they're doing.

1017
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,680
Speaker 2: They they may just not have as good a team

1018
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,880
Speaker 2: as they had the last two years, Like, does this

1019
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 2: occur to anybody? So U T Martin? Notwithstanding, they play

1020
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 2: ball State this week, They're gonna win that game, and

1021
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 2: there'll be some ups and some downs, and then they

1022
00:52:56,600 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 2: get into conference play, and I have this wild idea

1023
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 2: that that staff is handling the first three weeks of

1024
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,879
Speaker 2: the season accordingly. Let me translate. I think you would

1025
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 2: have seen a different Georgia team yesterday if South Carolina

1026
00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 2: was on the schedule. Call me crazy. I just believe that.

1027
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:16,439
Speaker 2: I don't know why, like I believe Lincoln Riley would

1028
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: have handled the San Jose State game a little bit

1029
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 2: differently if it were Oregon in Week one. I just

1030
00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 2: have a sneaking suspicion. So yeah, any actually, anyone who

1031
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 2: wants to sell their Georgia stock, I'll take some. I'd

1032
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 2: love to have some of that in my portfolio. I

1033
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 2: think they'll be fine. Colin, I think now is as

1034
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 2: good a time as any to remind the masses out

1035
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 2: there that it's a big week coming up. We got

1036
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: a massive week coming up. Just think about the games

1037
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 2: on the schedule, even Texas A and m Miami, which

1038
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 2: is a game I'm actually going to talk about both

1039
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: those teams before we go off the air, but that

1040
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: game is huge. Texas Tech went up into Laramie, Wyoming

1041
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 2: last night and lost, and they're playing host to Oregon

1042
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 2: this week. That's the last place on Earth I would

1043
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 2: want to be if I were Oregon. Wounded Animal Mode

1044
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,440
Speaker 2: home team in Lubbock, Texas in Week two. So anyway,

1045
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: a lot of big games on the schedule, But man,

1046
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,840
Speaker 2: come on now, the Once Upon a Saturday tour is

1047
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,360
Speaker 2: headed down I sixty five and we're headed to Tuscaloosa,

1048
00:54:18,440 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 2: Alabama because Texas is playing at Alabama, and this is

1049
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,800
Speaker 2: the one we've had circled for a couple of years now. Actually,

1050
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 2: we were at this game last year in Austin. Apparently

1051
00:54:28,920 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 2: everyone and their mother is going to be at this one.

1052
00:54:31,880 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 2: Offer up a little prayer for Josh Maxon this week

1053
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 2: if you don't mind. By the way, it's a much

1054
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 2: bigger game for him than either Sark or Nick Saban

1055
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 2: in many ways. So yes, we will be down there,

1056
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: and we will be down there with bells on looking

1057
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 2: forward to this one. It will be one of the

1058
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 2: most intense environments that you will have seen in Bryant

1059
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 2: Denny Stadium. The twenty nineteen LSU game was like that.

1060
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: This game will be like that. What I did not

1061
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 2: do is I did not just compare Tech twenty twenty

1062
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,439
Speaker 2: three as a team to Joe Burrow's LSU. I did

1063
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 2: not do that. I repeat for those in the back,

1064
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: I did not do that. What I'm telling you is

1065
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 2: there's this weird dynamic with Bama. Saban's been there a

1066
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: long time now, They've won a bunch of championships. They

1067
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,760
Speaker 2: hardly ever lose at home. Rarely are they ever even

1068
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:23,160
Speaker 2: threatened at home, and so the environment can sometimes lag

1069
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 2: as a result of that, there is there's no way

1070
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 2: to avoid it. When you win that much, your fan

1071
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 2: base gets complacent to a degree and they have an

1072
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: expectation to win and they don't feel threatened. Bama folks

1073
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 2: will feel legitimately threatened three times at home this year.

1074
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 2: This is the first one because this team almost beat

1075
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 2: them last year and half the country things they're going

1076
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,520
Speaker 2: to lose out right Saturday. We'll pick that game Tuesday night.

1077
00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 2: By the way, the LSU game is at Bryant Denny

1078
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:52,880
Speaker 2: this year, and LSU beat them last year and that

1079
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 2: is their perceived biggest threat in the West. And Tennessee

1080
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 2: beat them last year. Tennessee's got to come into Bryant Denny.

1081
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 2: Those are three games this year where you turn it on.

1082
00:56:02,480 --> 00:56:06,799
Speaker 2: Bran Danny Stadium will be on fire. I'm glad we're

1083
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 2: gonna be there, That's what I'm saying. So we will

1084
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 2: be there Saturday. That's a prime time kick, not on

1085
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 2: my network, but we're gonna be there. And need I

1086
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 2: remind you peyatestatematerial dot com. As of tonight, we'll have

1087
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 2: the once upon a Saturday Tour shirt go live. We

1088
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: sell it for one week and one week only for

1089
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 2: this particular game, and it'll be gone forever. But also

1090
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 2: we got Texas and Alabama peate state my state shirts

1091
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: and they are beautiful if you don't mind me saying so.

1092
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 2: And both of those are available right now in the

1093
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 2: store at peatestatematerial dot com. Would love to see some

1094
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 2: of those. Saw some Utah shirts out in Salt Lake

1095
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 2: last week. Pleasant surprise. I'm still not used to that.

1096
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 2: The fighting Jesse's had a darn good night last night.

1097
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 2: Penn State thirty eight, West Virginia fifteen. Some of you

1098
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 2: were very upset at the end of this one. Some

1099
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 2: of you thought, oh, West Virginia's not gonna win this game,

1100
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 2: but certainly West Virginia will cover. And I have always

1101
00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 2: told you, guys, some people are more aware than others

1102
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 2: about the point spread on their games. This is nothing nefarious.

1103
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 2: It's just some coaches are aware of that stuff and

1104
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 2: some are not. And coaches they know they know they're alumni.

1105
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 2: I love to bet on this stuff. I tweeted out

1106
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: last night when West Virginia thought they were about to

1107
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 2: take a knee, Nah, Penn State ten seconds to go,

1108
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 2: Let's just score one more for good measure. There are

1109
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 2: two people on planet Earth more aware than anyone of

1110
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 2: what the spread is on a Penn State game. And

1111
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 2: they're both in that photo right there. One of them's me,

1112
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 2: the other one is James F. Franklin, and he got

1113
00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:44,560
Speaker 2: you again last night? Got you again? Didn't he out

1114
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 2: staggered to the ribs for some of you. It didn't

1115
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 2: affect us either way. So I got some feedback from

1116
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 2: a couple of coaches that Penn State will have to

1117
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 2: play this year, and it was basically a collective uh

1118
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 2: oh as they were watching this game. It's kind of

1119
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 2: like a uh oh. And that was in reference to

1120
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: Drew Ahler, who, as it turns out, is everything we

1121
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:10,400
Speaker 2: thought he would be. Twenty one of twenty nine, three

1122
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 2: twenty five through the air, three passing touchdowns, and more

1123
00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 2: so than the stats. Hmm, if you didn't watch this game,

1124
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 2: Drew Ahler was in total control. It was really his

1125
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna call it his first start. It's like

1126
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:29,120
Speaker 2: his first time as the QB one starter for Penn State.

1127
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 2: And he worked every level of the field, and he

1128
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 2: worked through progressions, and frankly, he was under a little

1129
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 2: more duressed than I would have been comfortable with so

1130
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:41,880
Speaker 2: there there wasn't necessarily a clean pocket for him all night,

1131
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 2: but when there was, and even when there wasn't, sometimes

1132
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 2: totally aware, he looked like he had two or three

1133
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 2: years starting under his belt. It's just if I'm a

1134
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 2: Penn State fan, I am watching that and I'm not nervous.

1135
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 2: If that kid's my quarterback, I'm totally at ease. That's

1136
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 2: how I feel after watching him just through one game.

1137
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 2: We went up there in the spring and Franklin let

1138
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,480
Speaker 2: us watch practice, and even then and it was a

1139
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 2: scrimmage in spring practice, but even then you look at

1140
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 2: him and every throw is not perfect. I'm not saying that,

1141
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 2: but I'm saying he did not look like a guy

1142
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 2: who was green or a first year starter. He looks

1143
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:24,360
Speaker 2: so much more seasoned than he actually is. There's plenty

1144
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:26,080
Speaker 2: of room to improve on this team too. They won

1145
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 2: thirty eight to fifteen. Pass pro was not great for

1146
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: Penn State last night. Run stopping defensively not great. That's

1147
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 2: one of the biggest concerns on this team. I would

1148
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 2: not be comfortable with him facing Michigan right now. Michigan

1149
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 2: ran for about half a mile on him last year.

1150
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 2: Based on what we saw last night, one game sample size,

1151
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be comfortable with Michigan coming to town. But

1152
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 2: here's the good news. They don't come to town this week.

1153
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 2: That's all the way I think in November. So the

1154
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 2: one thing I kept reminding myself, or kept thinking to

1155
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 2: myself watching this game, is, you know what could happen here.

1156
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 2: They've got a quarterback that could win a shootout. Like

1157
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 2: if someone does figure out that they can run the

1158
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: ball for two hundred and forty five yards in an

1159
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 2: afternoon on Penn State, it's not an automatic loss. I

1160
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 2: got a quarterback here that may just be able to

1161
01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 2: outscore you. I'm not a guy who's been overly confident

1162
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 2: in Penn State winning a forty eight to forty five

1163
01:00:19,840 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 2: game in years past. That is not Penn State football.

1164
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 2: But if that happens at some point this year, and

1165
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 2: I don't expect it to, that defense is too good

1166
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 2: to be hanging out in the forties. But you get

1167
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Thirty eight thirty five. Let's say I

1168
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 2: got the guy I think they can do it there,

1169
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,960
Speaker 2: and I've also got a guy that probably gets the

1170
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: absolute most out of a wide receiver room. They didn't

1171
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 2: even involve the tight end position much last night, so

1172
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 2: I've still got a lot of room for growth. Offensively,

1173
01:00:45,600 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 2: I like where Penn State is. I'm getting clowned right

1174
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: now because I predicted them to go to the playoff.

1175
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: That's fine, that's okay. Felt pretty good with what I

1176
01:00:53,400 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: saw last night. Now they got Delaware this week, and

1177
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 2: then they go to Illinois in Week three. Dogfight in

1178
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 2: Week three. Dog fight on the way in week three,

1179
01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 2: all due respect to Delaware. Okay, some other thoughts here,

1180
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 2: and then we got a big game to watch tonight.

1181
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Anyone changing their pick on that? By the way, LSUFSU

1182
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 2: think we got about thirty minutes to kick off. I

1183
01:01:18,080 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 2: went back and forth. I won't lie to you. I

1184
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:22,520
Speaker 2: got to shoot straight with you, guys. I went back

1185
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 2: and forth. I got LSU in the game. There was

1186
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,920
Speaker 2: about a four hour chunk of my life over the

1187
01:01:27,960 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 2: weekend where I almost thought about just kind of getting

1188
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: on Twitter and saying cancel that I'm taking FSU. Now.

1189
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm not doing it because that would be unethical. But

1190
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 2: I'm not a dime of my money is on that

1191
01:01:39,280 --> 01:01:41,960
Speaker 2: game tonight. I'm just watching along with you. Guys, and

1192
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: a lot of you are watching right now. Make sure

1193
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,320
Speaker 2: you like the video if you're here and haven't done

1194
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 2: so already. Did you see Miami play the other night?

1195
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 2: They played Miami of Ohio. That offensive line's totally transformed.

1196
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:55,280
Speaker 2: When we were down there over the summer, and I

1197
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 2: watched summer workouts, and so I'm watching stuff the coaches

1198
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 2: aren't even involved in, and I'm watching Francis Malagoa, who

1199
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 2: may also pronounced his last name Malwanoa. According to the broadcast,

1200
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 2: I am watching him. He's the true freshman who came in.

1201
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 2: I could not speak more glowingly of him. And I

1202
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 2: told you I watched them do something. So the offensive

1203
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 2: line group was in the indoor facility while we were

1204
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 2: filming some stuff, and then afterwards, I was just watching

1205
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: him work out. We were down on the field with him.

1206
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 2: We were catching some balls with him. Actually, yeah, you

1207
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 2: heard me right. So, so malgo is out there running

1208
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 2: pass routes and he's like three point thirty three forty

1209
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,360
Speaker 2: and he's just so fluid. He looked like an actual

1210
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 2: receiver with the way he controlled his body. And then

1211
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: he went over to the drugs machine. He caught forty

1212
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,439
Speaker 2: one straight balls, one handed off. The drugs machine turned

1213
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 2: up pretty high, so total freak athlete. Oh also, he

1214
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: started at left tackle for him that offensive line, Like,

1215
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 2: I could not have been more pleased if I were

1216
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,800
Speaker 2: Mario Christobal. I could not have been more pleased in

1217
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 2: game one with how that unit looked, cause they were

1218
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 2: dreadful last year and they just totally overhauled it. Not

1219
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 2: even the same people or on that line from last year.

1220
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 2: So I loved the start. Miami Ohio never got any oxygen.

1221
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 2: And I know there are a lot of people out

1222
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,160
Speaker 2: there who say, oh, it's just Miami of Ohio again.

1223
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 2: It's your prerogative to think that way. That's fine. The

1224
01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 2: line on this game was about fifteen and they won

1225
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 2: thirty eight to three. They've got Texas A and M

1226
01:03:21,800 --> 01:03:25,760
Speaker 2: coming in there this week. One of the spotlight games

1227
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:28,800
Speaker 2: of Week two because of AMM, and I'll talk about

1228
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:32,520
Speaker 2: them right now. A and M played a directional school

1229
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 2: yesterday and most of you didn't watch that game. Texas

1230
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 2: A and M against New Mexico or I don't care

1231
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,800
Speaker 2: against New Mexico High School. You better take Texas A

1232
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 2: and M. Seriously, I saw all I needed to see

1233
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 2: Connor Wigman could be a breakout player this year at quarterback.

1234
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 2: You may think it's too early for me to draw

1235
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 2: these conclusions. I don't. I don't. He was eighteen to

1236
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 2: twenty three. He threw for a Lottie's Forget about all

1237
01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 2: the numbers, the stuff that you hoped you would see

1238
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 2: as an A and M fan, The stuff that was

1239
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 2: never there under Jimbo, regardless of who you were playing.

1240
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 2: It was there yesterday, wasn't it. It was there yesterday.

1241
01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden, Now, all of a sudden,

1242
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,760
Speaker 2: people have to start looking at that A and M

1243
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 2: wide receiver room and acknowledging what we've been saying on

1244
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 2: this show for about two months, and that is they're loaded.

1245
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 2: You just don't fear them because you've never trusted they

1246
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 2: could get the ball to them. Now they can. Texas

1247
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 2: A and M is to be taken very very seriously

1248
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 2: in the SEC West. Now here's the thing. They're not

1249
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,000
Speaker 2: playing a conference game this week, but they're gonna go

1250
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 2: play very quality competition. Cam Kitchens at Miami may be

1251
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 2: the best safety in the country, so they'll get some

1252
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 2: really really good tests this week. Defensively, they are loaded

1253
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:52,760
Speaker 2: and they get to face what I think is a

1254
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 2: much improved Miami offensive line. Really good matchup. They overpower,

1255
01:04:58,160 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 2: they outmann Miami. Still that line, Jesse, remind me what

1256
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 2: did that line open up at? You remember, off the

1257
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 2: top of your head, six and a half or seven

1258
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 2: A and M about a six and a half or

1259
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 2: seven point favorite. So lock in for that one. But

1260
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, by stocking that team right now, that

1261
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 2: team's gonna be for real this year. I've just got

1262
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 2: very little doubt at this point. Next up, talk about doubt,

1263
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 2: talk about a Sarah McLaughlin special, talk about the splattering

1264
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 2: of the week, Oklahoma seventy three to nothing. Was this necessary?

1265
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 2: But Jones is a person too, and so I felt

1266
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 2: bad for him. I felt bad for myself because we

1267
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 2: bet Arkansas State. Yeah we sure did. We were those

1268
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 2: people who had an Arkansas State ticket. Hey we won

1269
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 2: yesterday overall, So you just got to own the losses.

1270
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 2: Frustration was taken out on Arkansas State by Oklahoma. This

1271
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,520
Speaker 2: was rough. This was painting the walls with their blood.

1272
01:05:57,800 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: It was funny because last year you kind of got

1273
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,960
Speaker 2: your your own blood on your hands if you're Oklahoma.

1274
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 2: Oh they had blood on their hands yesterday, but it

1275
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 2: wasn't their own. It was red wolf blood everywhere. So

1276
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 2: I know that a lot of people I think I've

1277
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 2: said this nine times in the show, will not take

1278
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 2: much from this cause it's Oklahoma's or it's Arkansas state. Well, again,

1279
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 2: there are things you didn't see last year as an

1280
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 2: Oklahoma fan, both sides of the ball that you saw

1281
01:06:28,080 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 2: in this game against an inferior opponent, no doubt, but

1282
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:34,360
Speaker 2: you saw it. You didn't even see it against the

1283
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 2: inferior opponents last year. They play SMU this week, another

1284
01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 2: very sneaky good game. SMU is a about a sixteen

1285
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 2: point dog and they go into Norman. I expect the

1286
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:51,240
Speaker 2: public to be heavy on Oklahoma, and we'll see I'm

1287
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 2: not necessarily in the mental or emotional place I need

1288
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 2: to be right now to bet against Oklahoma, as is

1289
01:06:57,600 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 2: obviously the case. So I'll probably leave that one. What

1290
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,520
Speaker 2: about Texas Number one rule on the show. Number two

1291
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 2: rule in the show. Number one rule in the show,

1292
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 2: listen to me, Ma, Number two rule, don't lose to food.

1293
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 2: Texas played Rice yesterday and they won thirty seven to ten.

1294
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 2: Now one of the bright spots of Texas fall camp

1295
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 2: has been the run defense, and they gave up twenty

1296
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,080
Speaker 2: seven rush yards on twenty five carries, so there was

1297
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 2: no running Rice. Yesterday. They forced three turnovers, so Rice

1298
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 2: turned it over a lot. That's good. I am a

1299
01:07:28,120 --> 01:07:31,080
Speaker 2: believer Texas can win games with defense early while the

1300
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 2: offense gets figured out. The offense still needs to get

1301
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 2: figured out. You guys who watched this game yesterday, quarterback

1302
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:41,080
Speaker 2: play left a little bit to be desired. Offensive line

1303
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 2: play left a little bit to be desired. They had

1304
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 2: penalties all over the place. It didn't leave me feeling

1305
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: overly warm and fuzzy that their next game is on

1306
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 2: the road at Alabama. But again, that's the week one

1307
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 2: to week two thing. It's overlooking an opponent potentially all

1308
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,520
Speaker 2: that could have been in play. I think you'll get

1309
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 2: the best of time Texas at Alabama this Saturday. We

1310
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 2: just got to find out what the best of Texas is.

1311
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 2: Washington just obliterated Boise State yesterday Michael Pennock's twenty nine

1312
01:08:10,160 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 2: to forty four hundred and fifty through the air, five touchdowns.

1313
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 2: There are question marks about this team. Lost their best

1314
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 2: running back in fall camp. They didn't do much on

1315
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 2: the ground, yesterday. Obviously they didn't need to, so that

1316
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 2: remains to be seen. Thing Boise couldn't take advantage of

1317
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 2: anything even if they wanted to defensively for Washington, so

1318
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 2: a little bit of that still remains to be seen.

1319
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 2: But an overly impressive performance from Washington in Week one,

1320
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 2: I did not want that to be overlooked. I do

1321
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,719
Speaker 2: want to talk to you about Baylor. Baylor was favored

1322
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:49,880
Speaker 2: by twenty seven and a half against Texas State. Baylor

1323
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 2: lost to Texas State forty two to thirty one. They

1324
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 2: were struggling to just stay in the game and there

1325
01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 2: were some inexcusable issues here. I'm a big Dave A

1326
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,360
Speaker 2: Randa guy, still am. I'm not selling on Dave Randa.

1327
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 2: A lot of you DM me about that. No, I'm

1328
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 2: not selling on Dave Randa. But there were some very

1329
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 2: fundamental issues they had, like wide receivers understanding how to

1330
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 2: line up on or off the balls. Apparently it's been

1331
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 2: an issue for them all fall camp. Like that was

1332
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:24,640
Speaker 2: an issue, just really really like basic Week one install

1333
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 2: type stuff was an issue. They had trouble snapping the

1334
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 2: ball yesterday, they had trouble getting a playoff and Randa afterwards,

1335
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 2: he not never shy away from that stuff, but he

1336
01:09:35,880 --> 01:09:39,719
Speaker 2: just he sounded very dejected, very disappointed, which he should

1337
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 2: have been. But you know, I tell you guys all

1338
01:09:42,240 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 2: the time, don't be drawing conclusions in week one. And look,

1339
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 2: they've got Utah at home this week. Maybe there'll be

1340
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 2: a different team. The problems Baylor had yesterday, I don't

1341
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 2: know that you correct those in a film session. I

1342
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 2: don't know that you just show up at practice the

1343
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 2: next week and you clean that stuff up. If I'm wrong,

1344
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: because I happen to like Baylor, but I saw Utah

1345
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:06,240
Speaker 2: in person last week, and they're on extra rest before

1346
01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 2: this game, so I know what those guys are bringing,

1347
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 2: regardless of who starts at quarterback fro him. I have

1348
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:16,599
Speaker 2: no idea what Baylor's bringing right now. Speaking of that game, Yeah,

1349
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,280
Speaker 2: I was at the Florida Utah game and we didn't

1350
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 2: do a show the next day, so I haven't talked

1351
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 2: to you about this yet. Not good man, Not good

1352
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,439
Speaker 2: for Florida, great night for Utah. I picked Florida to win,

1353
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:33,040
Speaker 2: just on the wrong team, just on the wrong side.

1354
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 2: It was very obvious. What's crazy is when you look

1355
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 2: at the box score if you were to cover up

1356
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:44,360
Speaker 2: the third down statistics, everything else makes it look like

1357
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 2: Florida mayl one. No man, you go one of thirteen.

1358
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,240
Speaker 2: I think they were three of eighteen on third or

1359
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 2: fourth down tries. Just bad, man, It's just really bad.

1360
01:10:55,600 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 2: And there were just glaring, glaring price problems procedurally. I

1361
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,080
Speaker 2: was talking to an NFL guy on the sideline up

1362
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:09,200
Speaker 2: there and he said, it's so crazy that Billy Napier's

1363
01:11:09,200 --> 01:11:13,240
Speaker 2: reputation is to be so detail oriented and so dialed

1364
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 2: in on this stuff, and his team in year two

1365
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 2: is coming out of the gate looking like this. That's

1366
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,679
Speaker 2: an NFL guy now that has been around all these teams.

1367
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,759
Speaker 2: And that was the you know, it was the opinion

1368
01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 2: I had. That's the opinion he had. Graham Mertz ended

1369
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 2: up not being the problem for him. It was the

1370
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 2: pieces around him doing or not doing their job. But

1371
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham has the best program in the PAC twelve

1372
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 2: that gets overlooked sometimes because people, I'm guilty of this,

1373
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 2: people try and look everywhere other than Utah to pick

1374
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,760
Speaker 2: their winner out there. I did it again this year.

1375
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:48,280
Speaker 2: I picked Oregon. And you sometimes overlook what's so obvious

1376
01:11:48,400 --> 01:11:50,759
Speaker 2: and that is They've got the most rock solid program

1377
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: out there. They have for a long time. I had

1378
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 2: a great time out there. I was surprised at how

1379
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 2: well we were received. I don't mean from a hospitality standpoint,

1380
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 2: although just aces across the board, let us in the

1381
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 2: stadium way way early to do the show and all

1382
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 2: that was great. But now the reception we got from

1383
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 2: the people out there, I just didn't know that that

1384
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 2: many people in Salt Lake City knew about the show.

1385
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 2: But I appreciate it, Sure do appreciate it. But they

1386
01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 2: got another really good team. Because when you're without your

1387
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 2: top two quarterbacks and you just kind of handle, you

1388
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 2: kind of toy around with an SEC program, you're kind

1389
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 2: of off to the races. And they go to Baylor

1390
01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 2: this week and then a couple of weeks from now

1391
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 2: they got UCLA, and UCLA looked good last night, still

1392
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,200
Speaker 2: with ISSU used to work out, but Dante Moore man

1393
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 2: Dante Moore may have had his time come very early

1394
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: for UCLA. It could be a really good year. It's

1395
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 2: going to be a really good year in the Pac twelve.

1396
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: I don't know what in the world Florida is about

1397
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 2: to do. They got what should be a very winnable

1398
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,320
Speaker 2: game this week. And then they got Tennessee in two weeks.

1399
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 2: So yeah, a whole lot going on abnormal in week one.

1400
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 2: Our shows always have to get bumped around, and this

1401
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: is an early start time for us, but we got

1402
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,439
Speaker 2: it all in. I promised you would be off before

1403
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 2: LSU and Florida State started. Do me one favor. Whether
