Speaker 5: asked all one hundred and thirty three college football head

62
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,840

74
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 5: McMurphy Coach Match. Back to you guys.

75
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: All right, so let's get into the SEC West. I'm

76
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: just going to be an electric and electric episode. I'm

77
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: really excited for this one. For what it's worth, we

78
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: did intro the SEC kind of the landscape, the lay

79
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: of the land if you will. At the beginning of

80
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: the SEC East episode. Which we didn't mention is that

81
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 2: national title odds teams that are forty one or less

82
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: to win the national title in the SEC or Georgia

83
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: plus two twenty five at BETAMGM Alabama six to one,

84
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: LSU twelve to one, Tennessee thirty five to one in

85
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: Texas A and M forty to one. As far as

86
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 2: the SEC West odds are concerned, Alabama is the favorite

87
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: to win the division at plus one oh five. LSU

88
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: was second and plus one seventy five. But let's start

89
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: with those Crimson tie plus two sixty to win the

90
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: SEC overall win total over ten minus one fifty five.

91
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: You also can find a heavily juice under ten and

92
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 2: a half, depending on what tickles your fancy. They draw

93
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: Tennessee at home on a rematch revenge game and at

94
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Kentucky on a rare trip to Lexington. From the SEC East,

95
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: they will host LSU and Ole Miss, but we'll go

96
00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: to Texas A and M and Auburn. This Alabama team,

97
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: I will tell you, I just tweeted this out earlier today.

98
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 2: The last time that they lost that home by seven

99
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: or more points was in two thousand and seven to

100
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 2: Louisiana Monroe. It's been a team that's been absolutely dominant

101
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: at home under Saban. I think five losses over the

102
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 2: past twelve years, and those losses came against pretty much

103
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 2: all Heisman Trophy winners. Burrow in twenty nineteen, Johnny Manzel,

104
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: who else is in there? Did Chad Kelly? They lost

105
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: a nine to six game in overtime to LSU. I

106
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 2: know that, and then and Cam Newton. That's it. So

107
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: Albert has been dominant at home and that'll be tested

108
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: this year because they get all missed at home. They

109
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: get Texas at home, they get LSU at home. I

110
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: guess I should have mentioned Arkansas as well. Yes, and

111
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: as I mentioned before, they go to Kentucky, to Auburn,

112
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: to Texas, A and m to Mississippi State. Notdly enough,

113
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: they go to South Florida, one of the weirdest scheduling

114
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: court games of the year. This team has questions. I'm

115
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 2: like past Alabama teams, but they haven't lost more than

116
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: two games, including bowls in College Football playoff since twenty

117
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: ten when they were the defending champs. Who was a

118
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: quarterback and then they lost twenty ten?

119
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm right, I'm pretty I actually am about nine er

120
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: since sure was Greg McRoy.

121
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna say McRoy Macroby was the quarterback

122
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: the year before too, and when they won the national title,

123
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: I believe, Yeah, in two thousand and nine, Yeah, Macroby

124
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: is definitely McRoy and then they lost three games that year.

125
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 2: But this team definitely ask questions. This is not your

126
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: typical Hey, look, this Alabama team is going to be dominant.

127
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: Number one, the two new coordinators. Tommy Reize comes over

128
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: from more Dame. Kevin Steele, who many know from Auburn,

129
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: will come over and coach the defense, the offense. You

130
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: got to start the quarterback position. Bryce Young, who I

131
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 2: love all world, goes to the NFL. You lose him,

132
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 2: You lose Gibbs at running back, you lose your best defender,

133
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: the third overall pick, and Will Anderson. There's questions all

134
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: over this roster, starting with the quarterback position. OH line

135
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: is also still a concern. It's finally an experienced wide

136
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: receiver room, but like it's not the wide receiver rooms

137
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: of two to three years ago.

138
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: Right, they'll never yeah, never will be So, yeah.

139
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: You lose two safeties the NFL in battle like that.

140
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 2: So linebackers definitely down a notch after you lose a couple.

141
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: But they obviously have loaded recruiting classes coming in. But

142
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: let's start with the quarterback position, where it's either going

143
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: to be Jadon Milroe, red shirt freshman ty Simpson, who

144
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 2: seems to be the leader in the clubhouse right now,

145
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: probably the one who makes the most uh cerebral decisions

146
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: from what I've read. But you who also had Bookner

147
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: who came in, Tyler Brookner, who came in from Notre Dame.

148
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: Notable because that's where Tommy Reis came from. Making this

149
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: three way competition, maybe you'll see some of each depending

150
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: on what it is. A lot of questions on this roster.

151
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: Obviously still super talented, obviously still clearly in the national

152
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 2: title discussion, clearly a top ten, top five at the

153
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 2: ceiling top three. But if they've fallen off of that,

154
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 2: that means like they're now going to end up in

155
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 2: that seven to ten you know, I'm talking of the

156
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,400
Speaker 2: top ten team six, seven, eight, nine instead of one,

157
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 2: two three, and instead of winning eleven twelve, maybe they

158
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: only win nine to ten games this year. What are

159
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 2: you seeing with this Alabama team.

160
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: At the quarterback situation. We could spend hours on this,

161
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: and I know there's a lot of other people that

162
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: are spending hours on this trying to break this down.

163
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: But the play in simple fact, is that they have

164
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: three different options, and I think all three of them

165
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: do things better than the other different. I mean, they're

166
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: all different. None of them are the same. Generally, you

167
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: want a backup quarterback to run the playbook of your

168
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, but we don't have that here. I saw

169
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroe hit an outside zone quarterback keeper and take

170
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: off down the sidelines at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium,

171
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: and I think I've ever seen a quarterback run that fast.

172
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 1: And I was there live in person for Johnny Manziel.

173
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Milroe has got to be the fastest quarterback in

174
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 1: the league. But do you play him against a havoc

175
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: minded defense like LSU. No, you play him against a

176
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: weak defensive front seven like old Miss Ty Simpson is

177
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: the most cerebral. You don't want any havoc in the game.

178
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 1: That's who you play against LSU. So we have three

179
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: different quarterbacks. And I made a tweet today about carrot

180
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: Cake and Saman's not going to tell us who it is.

181
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: And unless somebody's filming off those higherrise apartments that overlooks

182
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: the practice field. We're not going to know who it is,

183
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: and it's going to be a big mislead leading up

184
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: to Middle Tennessee. And I guarantee you every single one

185
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: of those quarterbacks is going to play against Middle Tennessee.

186
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 2: But you can show to show your hand before Texas

187
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: the weekend after.

188
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: We're not going to get anything about this Alabama team

189
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: until they play Texas. And Saban said, it's like a

190
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,839
Speaker 1: carrot cake. I used to stand by Grandma Saban's oven.

191
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: Look at that carrot cake. I want to eat that

192
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 1: carrot cake. She said, it's got to sit, it's got

193
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 1: to stay in the oven. It's not ready. And he's

194
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: going to keep to that until that Texas game.

195
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: Incidentally, don't ask me. I told you everything I know.

196
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 2: I don't have anything else to say about it.

197
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 1: I will say there are multiple pieces here. I don't

198
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: like Tyler Buckner at all. Haven't seen enough of ty

199
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Simpson and Jyaln. Milroe can run the inside zone, he

200
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 1: could run the RPO.

201
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 3: Right.

202
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 2: We definitely limited as a passer from me.

203
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: Extremely right, but they have pieces. My question comes with

204
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Tommy Rees. Nick Saban gets the media days says Tommy Rees,

205
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: maybe the brightest, best offensive coordinator. What else is he

206
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: going to say when he comes in? My problem is

207
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: is all I've seen is Tommy Rees run a twelve

208
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: formation with Ian Book dumping off to Michael Mayert. That's

209
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: all I've ever seen of Notre Dame and a pretty

210
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 1: stiff running attack. Has Saban decided that to kill some

211
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: of these three three five drop eight defenses, he's gonna

212
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: go back to running the ball? I don't know. You've

213
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 1: got Jacorey Brooks and Jermaine Burton averaging over two yards

214
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: per route run on the outside. That's explosive. They have

215
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: a lot of weapons everywhere. And JC Latham looking at

216
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: me and telling me, we hear you. The whole entire

217
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, the whole entire team. Here's the narrative about

218
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 1: Alabama football, about how we're done. We hear you. They're

219
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: pissed off every day. I mean, everybody is feeding this

220
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: team exactly what Saban wants, the rat poison. They're gonna

221
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: be pissed off.

222
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to win more than the players that play.

223
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,440
Speaker 6: For all, you self absorbed folks out there that can't

224
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,479
Speaker 6: look past your own self and have some gratitude.

225
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: The floor for this team is ten wins. The ceiling

226
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: for this team is twelve. I'm not playing a win

227
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: total on these guys. Mathematically, I would say to take

228
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: the under, but it's heavily juiced, which means there's probably

229
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 1: some value on taking the over. But at the same time,

230
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: you know, just it's a depressed market against LSU, what

231
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 1: is that a pick? I'm not so sure that you

232
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: know Texas going to come in and win that game.

233
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: That's a huge step up for quinn Ewers in environment.

234
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: I mean they were at home last year. Your defensive

235
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: line was all over Bryce Young. We'll see so expected

236
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: tempo decrease with Tommy Rees, although Saban did say that

237
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: Tommy Ree is going to run the same offense that

238
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: Alabama's already had. I expect a huge bump and rush rate.

239
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: Everything that I can read, they want to establish to run,

240
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: run the ball again. So I think games may go

241
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 1: a little bit slower, but that doesn't mean they're going

242
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: to stop scoring a whole bunch of points.

243
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: Now.

244
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: They were one hundred and twenty third penalties. I said

245
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: that was a problem for Tennessee. It was a problem

246
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: for Alabama. They were extremely undisciplined, last year, we got

247
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: to see if that rebounds. It was the worst and

248
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: I went back twenty years. Twenty years, Alabama has never

249
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: had a season that bad in penalties. Do they rebound?

250
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: They should? They draw Tennessee and Canucky from the East.

251
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: A little bit of a revenge going on there with Tennessee.

252
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: We'll see what time of day that Kentucky game falls.

253
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: Kevin steel comes in as defensive coordinator. You can expect

254
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: thirty one percent blitzed, kind of aggressive. But he only

255
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: got forty percent success at Miami. Does that say something

256
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: about Kevin Steeler, say something about the Miami Hurricanes defense.

257
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

258
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: Kevin steel has not been that impressive in his tenure

259
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: throughout the SEC and the other stops that he's had.

260
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: But we'll see what he can do with his cover

261
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: three in his nickel package. So I'm not fading them stuck.

262
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: If they went twelve and oho, I wouldn't be surprised.

263
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: If they went ten to two, I wouldn't be surprised

264
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: they won nine games, I'd be shocked. I don't like

265
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: the pieces, but even Sark said, they're big, they're huge,

266
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: they're fast, they're a problem, and there's still a problem.

267
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: Even with these underwhelming coordinator hires. It's still a system

268
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: that hasn't changed. They haven't changed the way they're doing things,

269
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: hasn't changed the culture. They haven't changed the playbook that

270
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: much on defense or offense. And Saban is very telling

271
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: with Pete Golden leading for old Miss, you know, and

272
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: that wasn't even immediate. That was after Sabin went off

273
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: to the side and had the little room. Pete had

274
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: to make a decision that was best for Pete and

275
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: what he thought would advance his career. That's exactly what

276
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: Saban said. It's not easy working for Saban. That's why

277
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: we got coordinators coming in every one to two years,

278
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, virtually rolling out a carpet for toshchaploy get

279
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: out of here. You know, it's not easy working for

280
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: this guy, but he demands elite. I expect him to

281
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: be elite. The problem is is can Tommy Reese call

282
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: an offense to get them to be explosive on the

283
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: outside with Burton and Brooks, it's a huge question because

284
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Milroe can't get him the ball I mentioned in your take, Lsu, Yeah,

285
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: aren't the only teams that can beat him here? Maybe Texas.

286
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 2: That's the path.

287
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: Those are the three teams they can get there.

288
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 2: I mean, but if you look at this schedule, like

289
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: I'm out of a leader in the quarterback visition right now,

290
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 2: which is just massive. It's a huge drop off from brace.

291
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 2: There are still questions of defense too. Obviously there's a

292
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 2: lot of talent, but at linebacker, safety, either one corner spot.

293
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: But you know, part of the offensive line, the offensive

294
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 2: coordinated a lot of questions on this team. And then

295
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 2: has Saban lost this touch a little bit like just

296
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: we'll see, like with the penalties, if you.

297
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: Let me say something else. Not to pick on him,

298
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: Not to pick on him, but I've been calling out

299
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: Darien Dalcourt for about three years now. He's he was

300
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: one of the worst graded offensive line in him and

301
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: Chris Owens have been. The offensive line has been in

302
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: decline two years in a row. So that is a

303
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: that I mean, if you're gonna pick, that's a place

304
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: to pick too. It is not moved at all, is

305
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: not moved up in the stock market.

306
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: And when I look at the schedule, like I'll say,

307
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: you know, Middle Tennessee at home is a win. At

308
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 2: South Farida is a win. I'll even say Tennessee at

309
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 2: home with revenge is a win. Chatanoga at home is

310
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 2: a win. But like if I look at the other

311
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 2: eight games, like could I see them losing at home

312
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: the Texas Yes? Could I see them losing at home

313
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: the Old Men, Yes, yes. Like at miss State, probably

314
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 2: a win, but like I will think about it now

315
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: because of this quarterback position, I'll mark out a win

316
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 2: at miss State. I'm low on Miss State at Texas

317
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 2: A and M certainly could be a loss. Arkansas at home.

318
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: Arkansas will probably give him a game, but we'll call

319
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 2: it a win. LSU at home could be a loss

320
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 2: at Kentucky if they after the week after LSU could

321
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 2: be a tricky game at Auburn in the finale. You

322
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 2: know that's going to be tricky. So like I just

323
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: went through three, four, five, six spots where I could

324
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 2: see losses. Now, they could lose all of those games,

325
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: but I normally would not say that within with other

326
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:45,919
Speaker 2: Alabama teams. And that's because either the quarterback position lately

327
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: has been so short up with Bryce Young or in

328
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: the past when the quarterback position wasn't there wasn't questions

329
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 2: on in you know, multiple other spots on this roster,

330
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 2: which I think there is now. They're super talented, like you,

331
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 2: just from a tower perspective, they're still a top five team.

332
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: We'll see they can put put it together. I project

333
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: them at ten point two to no play for me,

334
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: But I do think looking at this defense in the SEC,

335
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, do they win the West? I'm going

336
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:15,719
Speaker 2: to say no, because I've got another team to win

337
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: the West end. It is not LSU Korea. Yeah, so

338
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 2: we'll we'll get to mine eventually, a lot of other

339
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 2: potential teams, but we'll go to LSU next. Your beloved Tigers.

340
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, put me off through. We got a bad news.

341
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 2: Tigers plus four fifty to win the SEC, plus one

342
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 2: seventy five to win the West over nine and a

343
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 2: half minus won twenty five at MGM. They draw Florida

344
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: at home and at Missouri from the SEC East. I

345
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: think they are one of two SEC teams at the

346
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 2: same quarterback, head coach, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator returning

347
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: out of fourteen, Daniels is back at quarterback. With five

348
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 2: receivers who had at least twenty receptions last year, including

349
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 2: tight end Mason Taylor. You expect the offensive line led

350
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: by Will Campbell to be better. The defense does have

351
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 2: some questions, but you get Perkins back, you get Mason Perkins,

352
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: who is just a freak. He's gonna be playing a

353
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 2: new position, but which I'm sure you'll talk about. Mason

354
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 2: Smith comes back from an ACL injury, which will help

355
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 2: some of the d line losses. I think the secondary

356
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 2: is probably the biggest question. They are going to be

357
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 2: extremely reliant on the transfer portal to plug some of

358
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 2: those holes. The offense did seem to peak at the

359
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: end of last year. I'll let you before I kind

360
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: of maybe poke some holes in LSU. I'll let you

361
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 2: kind of gush over Brian Kelly and the Tigers who

362
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: you're backing. I saw them in your round robin playoff.

363
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 2: My prediction. I didn't mind Penn State in there. I

364
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 2: didn't mind Whoilsaje in there, Penn State Texas, Texas, didn't

365
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: mind Texas in there. U jesus, no, I'm gonna say.

366
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean I could see Clemson. I'm gonna say LSU ruins.

367
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 2: So I'm going to say LSU ruins your round robin.

368
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 2: I mean other teams could too, but I do not

369
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: see LSU as a playoff t the s. They were

370
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: ten and four last year, but three and one one

371
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 2: possession games. You dig under the hood, it's like there

372
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 2: was I don't think the defense is there yet. I

373
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: don't love the wide receiver the wide receiver room as

374
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: much as others do. I don't know if Daniels is

375
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: ready yet to take that full next step as an

376
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: elite quarterback that can make all the throws accurately downfield.

377
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 2: This is a team that you know should have lost

378
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: to Auburn. We're down big to Mississippi State. Lucky win

379
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 2: against Alabama, should have lost to Arkansas. I mean, barks

380
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: at a quarterback, they would have beat them, and then

381
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 2: they win in the bowl when Purdue just sits their

382
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 2: entire fucking team. So I think the love for Els

383
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: has gone too far. LSU. I've met some amazing people

384
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 2: from Batoners that have come to visit bar bars up here.

385
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 2: So I might be in the doghouts LSU fans. I

386
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 2: know you all, you'll carry our l the el the

387
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: Passion and LSU fan part of our podcast. But you

388
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: look at their schedule. They get Florida State in Orlando

389
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: to so I think they lose that game, but they're

390
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 2: at Mississippi stately three, Arkansas at Ole, miss at Missouri,

391
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 2: Orbit at home, Army at home, by then at Alabama, Florida,

392
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 2: Georgia State, Texas at AM at home. They closed the

393
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: year decent schedule. I'm gonna say you avoid Georgia and

394
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: Tennessee from the East final three games at home. That

395
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: Florida State game is huge in terms of playoff implications

396
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: because it's just gonna be tough to go through, regardless

397
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 2: if I think they got a schedule break. Overall, it's

398
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 2: gonna be hard if you lose that gade and then

399
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 2: go through an entire SEC schedule without another loss, including

400
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: Alabama at Alabama with revenge, and we know how dominant

401
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: Alabama has been at home. But what do you see

402
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: with I'll assume why do you love these Tigers?

403
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: Yeah? I love that you pointed out the LSU Arkansas

404
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: game last year when the razorback ground crew decided to

405
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: spray the field with water and icy conditions. That was

406
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 1: Cape fort and special there.

407
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 2: Oh, by the way, else you did lose on a

408
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: missed extra point to flow to State before, which was

409
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 2: an unlucky before. Else you cans jump down my throat.

410
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can't play any worse than that. I don't think.

411
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it's my first game.

412
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: Maybe we can, Okay.

413
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,360
Speaker 1: I love this team. The day after the national title game,

414
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: I wrote a piece for Action Network saying that my

415
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: my pick for next year is twenty five to one LSU.

416
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Obviously that number is not there, so I'm not going

417
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: to go around and sit there and say, hey, go

418
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: grab that. I have not budged on this. I've thought

419
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: about it every month. I think I thought about this

420
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 1: every day. There is so much about this team that

421
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: I love. And I said when Brian Kelly took the position,

422
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: if you give me five years, it could be short

423
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: at If you give me five years, I will bet

424
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: LSU national title five times he will win one. Maybe

425
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: this is it. I don't know why he's given out

426
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: injury information that threw me for a loop. I'd prefer

427
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 1: you didn't. I prefer you know. I found out on

428
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: the side who's hurt. But that's going to be interesting.

429
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 1: So there's a lot to love about this team. Seventy

430
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: percent of the offensive line snaps are back. Will Campbell

431
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,199
Speaker 1: might be the best left tackle in the nation. They

432
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: were number one in stuff rate last year. The line

433
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: was loaded with freshman last year number one in stuff rate.

434
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: I'll take it you mentioned Perkins. Over on the defensive

435
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Harold Perkins was the number one

436
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: pass rush graded linebacker in all of PFF. That's pass rush.

437
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: He's an animal against the run. Where he had a

438
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 1: weakness was coverage. What does Brian Kelly do. He goes

439
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: out to Oregon State, he grabs Omar Spates, one of

440
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: the best coverage backers out there. Not so much against

441
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 1: the rush, but he is good against the pass, you know.

442
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: And the other thing is is you mentioned this roster transformation.

443
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 1: They had fifteen thousand brand new snaps, number one out

444
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: of the transfer portal last year, and they still were

445
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: able to go to the SEC Championship game. Just the

446
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: coaching of Brian Kelly and Mike Denbrockett as offensive cordner

447
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 1: in Matt House, who I don't know how he is

448
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: still on this coaching staff and not back in the NFL.

449
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: It's an elite coaching staff. The number six ranked national

450
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 1: recruiting class, they were first in the transfer portal again,

451
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: so I expect the same thing. Ninth and third down

452
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: conversions on offense. I think we'll see it again. It

453
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: could be better. Why because Jayden Daniels has put on

454
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: twenty pounds of muscle. You going to run inside zone

455
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: all day, well good, your quarterback put on twenty pounds

456
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: if he gets hurt. Garrett and Nusmeyer dropped opened at

457
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,400
Speaker 1: sixty to one for the Heisman, dropped all the way

458
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: to twenty to one in Vegas. That's a ridiculous number

459
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: for a backup quarterback. But that just shows you the

460
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: love for this team. So they have it on both

461
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. There's not a crack in this team.

462
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: I know that your kind of point the things from

463
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: last year, but I will point to the fact that

464
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: it was a brand new roster with an offensive line

465
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: filled with freshmen. Mason Smith and sevi On Jones were

466
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: six foot six on the defensive line. Right, you're going

467
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: to put a quarterback in there that's five foot eleven

468
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: or shorter. Try to throw over that. They're loaded seventy

469
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: nine percent offense, sixty four percent on defense. They were

470
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: twenty seventh in defensive finishing drives. That's coaching, that's players,

471
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: that's Matt House, who has one of the highest success

472
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: rates of creating pressure at fifty six percent win, LSU

473
00:25:28,200 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: decides to blitz they are too deep every position. This

474
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: is my pick to win the SEC West. This is

475
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 1: my pick to be Georgia in the SEC Championship.

476
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: Go Tigers, completarly disagree. I think this team, I think

477
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: Kelly's getting it on the right direction. But and this

478
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 2: is a team that was a couple quarterbacks away from

479
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: starting games. So Connell Jefferson a couple coin flips that

480
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 2: went their way from going seven to six last year.

481
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: It wasn't pretty at times. That Tennessee game bad.

482
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: The tune would be, uh oh yeah, that was you

483
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 2: were I think you were on.

484
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: I was on at big time. It was the best

485
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 1: bet of the podcast. And they came out and what

486
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: gave up three touchdown fumbled on every special teams play.

487
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: I was all over my balls. I disagree. I think

488
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: you're might higher. But that's the beauty of the preseason.

489
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 2: One of us will be right on LSU. I have

490
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: another team that I'm hired in the market on in

491
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: the SEC West that I bet to win the SEC West.

492
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 2: And it's not the next team Texas A and M.

493
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: So you still have to wait Textas A and M

494
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 2: fourteen to one to win the SEC plus five point

495
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 2: fifty to win the division over eight ninus one forty

496
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 2: FTMGM A drawl a road game at Tennessee home against

497
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 2: South Carolina from the SEC East. They do host Alabama,

498
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: but go to LSU. The big news in the off

499
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 2: season is the hiring of Bobby Petrino as off that's

500
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 2: a coordinator. The offensive has been just an absolute disaster

501
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: as far as just you know, all these modern offenses

502
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 2: test Adam's way by the curve, conservative old dinosaur Jimbo offense.

503
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: I don't support, you know what I'm saying. There's no

504
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: reason to be nasty. The hope is that Petrino will

505
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: get the reins here Paul more modern scheme and kind

506
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 2: of unleash some of the talent that this Texas A

507
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 2: and M team does have and continues to recruit. Last year,

508
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,719
Speaker 2: they finished five and seven after being preseason top ten.

509
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 2: They did go two and five and one possession games

510
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 2: five of their seven losses whereby six points or less.

511
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 2: In fairness, they do return twenty starters, ten on each

512
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 2: side of the ball. There's a quarterback battle, but I

513
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: think Connor Weigman will probably win it. He started four

514
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 2: times last year. Payins King transferred Max Johnson also in

515
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 2: the fold. The one starter they do is on offense

516
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 2: is Devin h and the really good running back offensive

517
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: line which turns a lot of experience. But it was

518
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: a mess last year. Can they get that together? The

519
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:04,800
Speaker 2: defense couldn't stop any running back no matter who they were.

520
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: They just got ran all over their past he was great,

521
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: but it didn't matter. No one would throw them me

522
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:10,719
Speaker 2: just run all over them. And then you lose your

523
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 2: top defensive back at Antonio Johnson and a couple others.

524
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 2: They're hoping the secondary gets beefed up with transfers. Special

525
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: teams has a chance to be pretty special. And I

526
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 2: spit returns at receiver and he'll be great as a

527
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 2: returner as well, big return. It's a brutal roads schedule.

528
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: They go at Miami Week two, at Tennessee, at Ole, Miss,

529
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: at LSU and the finale. But that's it. It's only

530
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: a handful true road games because they also get Arkansas

531
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 2: in Arlington. Their home games are against New Mexico, ULM, Auburn, Alabama.

532
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: That's the big one. South Carolina, Mississippi, State and Abilene

533
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: Christians a lot of winnable home games in front of

534
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 2: the twelfth man text A and M. On paper, it's

535
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 2: a team that, hey, look a lot of talent. Last year,

536
00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: they kind of underperformed, unlucky in some metrics. Big offensive coordinator,

537
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: higher on paper beat normally a bounce back year and

538
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: a team to buy on. What are your thoughts on

539
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 2: the aggies.

540
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: I was told in the spring that Bobby Patrino would

541
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 1: not be calling plays. I said, that's not true. There's

542
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: no way you made this higher. I mean, let's just

543
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: get right into it. Because I could break down the office,

544
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 1: I could break down the defense. It doesn't matter because

545
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: what is going to set Texas A and M to

546
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: elite level is Bobby Patrino calling plays in his offense.

547
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 1: You don't believe me, go check out what Missouri State

548
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: did to Arkansas last year. For three quarters, had Sam

549
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: Pittman back on his heels, had Barry Odom looking for

550
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: a new job, had razorback. Nation wanted to get the

551
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 1: old broken motorcycle out and get Patrino back on it,

552
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 1: back on the road. You want to see how to

553
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: beat SEC defenses. You got the guy and then the rumor,

554
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: which it wasn't a rumor. I was told by a

555
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: very credible source, he's not gonna call plays. I thought

556
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: to myself, why in the sam hell would Bobby Patrino

557
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: take a job where he's not calling plays. I expect

558
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: Max Johnson to improve big time. Max Johnson has never

559
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: been behind an offensive line that hasn't protected him yet

560
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: Lsu Texa. It doesn't matter that guy pork A kid

561
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: has never had a clean pocket. The question is are

562
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: they running pro style Jimbo with papers floating all over

563
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: the field or are we spreading it out and going

564
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: power spread?

565
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: Hi, listeners, this is producer Matt here for your reference.

566
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: Here is Colin asking Jimbo Fisher that question at SEC

567
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 4: Media Days.

568
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: Schematically, are we going to see the pro style under

569
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: center play action or the Bobby Patrino four wide power spread?

570
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 2: Have you ever watched Bobby? Bobby's a lot of underneath

571
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 2: play action. No, but I'm not going to get into

572
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 2: schematics and for a while, we'll do everything and.

573
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Don't ask me Jimbo Fisher if I've seen Bobby Petrino

574
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: call an offense. Ryan Mallett, Booby Nile Davis, Yeah, I've

575
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: seen a little bit of petrino offense in my days,

576
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: completely dodges that. The entire room stands up and that's

577
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: all they talked about for fifteen minutes, was pinging him

578
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: about this offense. He won't answer the question. He has

579
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: told everybody in every interview stop asking me. We're not

580
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: going to tell you what we're doing. But he did

581
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: let it slip out and the side room at media

582
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: days that I am open to suggestion from Bobby. You're

583
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: open to suggestion from one of the best offensive minds

584
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: at college football. I don't care that he's an asshole,

585
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: or that he dismantled the Louisville program, or that he

586
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: flirted with Auburn. I don't give a shit about anything.

587
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: This is one of the best offensive minds in the

588
00:31:32,880 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: nation in FBS, and you're not going to let him

589
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: have full input. I can't bet on Texas A and

590
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: m until I know this, and we're not going to

591
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: know it till they hit the field against Miami. I

592
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: don't care about the math. I make it seven point six.

593
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: It would go up a full win, maybe more. If

594
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: Petrino's call and plays, it'd probably go down a game.

595
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: If he isn't because I'm not going to deal with

596
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: his Jimbo offense anymore. This team can rumble in the West.

597
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: If Bobby Petrino's calling plays, it's a no play for me.

598
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: And I am going to have so many eyeballs watching

599
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: this team, and my ears are going to be up

600
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: for everything that comes out in Jembo's mouth.

601
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's gonna work, but we'll see.

602
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 2: I think Fisher is too big of an ego and

603
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 2: it's that they're gonna clash and he's not gonna let

604
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 2: go of the reigns of this offense, which I also

605
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: agree that he should, but I ultimately don't think that

606
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,000
Speaker 2: he will and this will not work. I also stole

607
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: questions about the Rundy. I think that they miss look

608
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 2: at what we're seeing, what's going on to Duke and

609
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 2: the defensive improvement there with Alco. I think they really

610
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: miss Elko on the defensive side of the ball, and

611
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 2: if they don't let Petrino take over the offense now

612
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: they're missing Elko. Still have questions about that Rundy. You know,

613
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 2: you lose some really important guys in the secondary. I

614
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 2: don't love who they brought in in the secondary transfer wise,

615
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: a lot of big names with pedigree and starting experience.

616
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 2: But don't love that now. The schedule, I think you know,

617
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 2: broke their way in a lot of ways. I'm a

618
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: little higher than you, but no play for me at eight.

619
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 2: You gonna have some fun, though. U bet the under

620
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 2: and hope it all goes to shit like it did

621
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 2: last year.

622
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: One more thing.

623
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 2: They flashed by signals, but I can't.

624
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: I know, I know it's all flashing by for us.

625
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: One more thing on the on the the social dynamic

626
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: of the coordinators. You mentioned the defense not being able

627
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: to stop the run. DJ Durkin coming in last year

628
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: had never called a four to two five in his life.

629
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: The four two five was Elcos, Elko leaves, Durkin comes in.

630
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: Derkins never called a four to two five in his life.

631
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: Jimbo says, we're still running four to two five and

632
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 1: Durkin's just going to call the four two five. Why

633
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: did you hire somebodyho's never run it before? So now

634
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: translate that to this year. Are you expecting Bobby Petrino

635
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: to come in and improve your offensive personnel formation schemes

636
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: and not his version of the offense. I think that's

637
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: what's happening. Stuck. I think that's what's happened.

638
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, fit sure as that Natty and that's I

639
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 2: think what he can play at all times. That's his card.

640
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 2: But I think that he needs to evolve a little bit.

641
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 2: But he hasn't shown that bat ability in the past.

642
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: Maybe he will this year, but I agree with you,

643
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 2: we have to see it first before we will believe it,

644
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,279

Speaker 6: move on.

680
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: In the SEC West, m go to Oxford, Ole Miss

681
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,400
Speaker 2: fifty to one to win the SEC twenty five to

682
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 2: one to win the division. I bet him gym over.

683
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 2: Seven and a half is their win total. They go

684
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: to Georgia and get Vandy at home. From the SEC East.

685
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 2: This is the team I'm buying. Oh my god, the

686
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: SEC West, not the SEC. This is sort of a play,

687
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,759
Speaker 2: sort of like last year with Tennessee fourteen to one

688
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: to win the division, which had a ton of life

689
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 2: at one point. All right, and it ended up being

690
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,720
Speaker 2: a historic Georgia team. Let me make my case first.

691
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm on the overt is yours, this is your baby.

692
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm on the over. I like them, but you go, yeah,

693
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 1: I like the over.

694
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 2: I bet the over too, but Ole Miss twenty five

695
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: to one to win the division. Look Alabama as potentially

696
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 2: taking a step back, and we don't know their quarterback situation.

697
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 2: If that's really going to work out, There's other holes

698
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: on that roster that we haven't seen in years. Super talented,

699
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 2: still a top five team, but they could take a

700
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: step back this year. LSU, you love them. I still

701
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: have questions about Daniels. They were extremely fortunate last year,

702
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 2: very close to being a seven and sixteen. You don't

703
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 2: face a couple of backups, a couple of coin flips

704
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: against Auburn. You know, Alabama, don't go your way. Who

705
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 2: knows the hype isn't there yet. I still have questions

706
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 2: about the secondary, the wide receivers. Can Daniels be that

707
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 2: elite quarterback? Texas A and M. We talked about Dirk.

708
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,640
Speaker 2: The Alko loss is big. We don't think that that

709
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 2: patrio is actually going to get the reins of the offense,

710
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 2: and that's really going to hold back Texas A and M. Okay,

711
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 2: So there's three teams at the top of that division,

712
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: all with potential flaws, and then there's ole Miss, And

713
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: for what it's worth, ole Miss hosts LSU, and they

714
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 2: host Texas A and M, and they go to Alabama,

715
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 2: so their home for two of those three. Now they're

716
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: at Georgia and as far as their win totals concerned,

717
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 2: I said, I went under eleven and a half and Georgia.

718
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: I think I think george is gonna get to win

719
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: the division, get the Sea title, lose one game. If

720
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 2: ole Miss steals that game. If that's the one game

721
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: and they have the offense that could potentially do, that's

722
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 2: the sleepy spot that could be the first offense. The

723
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: real offense is Georgia place all year for what it's worth.

724
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: If they steal that game, then that affords then by

725
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 2: the way, I don't think they'll beat Georgia a second time,

726
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 2: which is why I like the division. If I could

727
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:31,520
Speaker 2: see them beating Georgia in the season, no change, that's

728
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 2: in the SC title, but that would help their case

729
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 2: to win the division. But I just think there's too

730
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: much value with this offense. They actually have returning production

731
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 2: and I love. One of the reasons why that I

732
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: love this ole Miss team is I love the transfers

733
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 2: that they brought in. It's like every transfer that I

734
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 2: loved that went into the portal. You know, even if

735
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 2: it's second tier guys, ole Miss got them for Jeff

736
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: So yeah, Jackson Dart has to take that next step

737
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 2: for this, but you know, in the second year, full

738
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 2: year in Lane Kiffin's system, I think he will and

739
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 2: I've read and heard nothing but good things. We'll see

740
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 2: if he'll end up proving it. Defensive coordinator higher. First

741
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: of all, I love some of the transfers they brought in.

742
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,240
Speaker 2: Depth isn't great, but they were running Mickey Mouse clown

743
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: show scheme on defense before. That's not going to be

744
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 2: the case this year. I think they needed actually some

745
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 2: structure on that defense, but they actually have a returning

746
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: production and you know, Kiffen just crushed the portal. And

747
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 2: I think Alabama, LSU, and Texas are potentially not saying

748
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: they are, but they're potentially flawed. And I'm a little

749
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 2: lower on those teams that see the cracks where olemists

750
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: can take advantage. They host two of those three teams,

751
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: and there might be a little bit more chaos in

752
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: the West that some are thinking, where like two wins

753
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: and then it comes down the tiebreakers and those home

754
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: games could matter. I'm buying Kiffin. I'm buying a defensive improvement.

755
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: It's not gonna be great, but just schematically and I

756
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:02,479
Speaker 2: like some of the guys they brought in I'm buying

757
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: Ole Miss at twenty five to one to win the division.

758
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: Call me crazy, I'm not.

759
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 1: I make it eight point five. I like the over

760
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: seven and a half.

761
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: Quin.

762
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: Shawn Jenkins created eighty two missed tackles last year. He's impossible, right,

763
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: Him and Raheem Sanders are just impossible. You're loaded at

764
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. You have eighty seven percent of your

765
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: offensive line snaps returning schedule.

766
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 2: Thirty plus starts coming back on the other line.

767
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,759
Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty plus starts, and when you switch

768
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,000
Speaker 1: over the defensive side, I actually do have positives to

769
00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: talk about. Seventy six percent of your experience comes back

770
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. You were tenth

771
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:44,479
Speaker 1: in defending rush explosives. Now you were talking about Mickey

772
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 1: Mouse defense. That's right. It was protect explosives at all costs.

773
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 1: So we'll see if Pete Golding is going to be aggressive.

774
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: He was thirty two percent blitz throughout his career calling

775
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: defenses for Alabama. He had forty eight percent success. It's

776
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 1: about mid range and fbs. But yeah, it's going to

777
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: be a change, and I think it's going to be

778
00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: for the better. Eight point five wins is no joke

779
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: with this schedule. I mean you have you drew Georgia

780
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: from the East, that that's no fun. I think Bama

781
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 1: and Georgia are the teams that I mathematically place out

782
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 1: of range as a win. That doesn't mean they can't

783
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: win them. That just means they're double digit underdogs. Other

784
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: than that small dog to LSU, I have oldness as

785
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: a favorite against Tulane, Arkansas, Texas A and M Mississippi

786
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: State and Auburn and games against Georgia Tech Bandy, the

787
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:38,680
Speaker 1: Ulm Mercer kind of a bye week type of treatment.

788
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 1: I love the over in this. I think they can be. Yeah,

789
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: they gotta grab one stuck though, they gotta grab one

790
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: of the big boys.

791
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 2: But that's easy because yeah. But I also like, look

792
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 2: they get LSU and text saying of at home. I

793
00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: like getting going to Alabama early with their quarterback questions

794
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: before they get it sorted out. If I was going

795
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 2: to choose where that game is on the schedule, that's

796
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 2: where I would want it. And look, I think they're

797
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 2: going to play a lot more three four than four

798
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 2: to two five. And I love all their linebacker transfers.

799
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 2: They just wanted to prevent explosives. Pete Golding the last

800
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 2: three years of Alabama number one, I think every year

801
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 2: in preventing explosive plays while trying to create more habit

802
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 2: which is what they do do They just need to

803
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:30,959
Speaker 2: in these big games. They need to create negative plays

804
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 2: and get some turnovers and then let their offense cook.

805
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: You know that Kiffin is going to have this offense

806
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,240
Speaker 2: cooking all year. So yeah, I think that there's value.

807
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 2: I am on the over with you, and I sprinkled

808
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 2: on the twenty five to one that win the division.

809
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: I think they have to win two of three at Alabama,

810
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: LSU at home, Texas A, and m at home. They

811
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: have to win two of those three and then maybe

812
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: win at Georgia. But they might not need to because

813
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 2: I think that there's going to be a little bit

814
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 2: more cast in the West than some think. So yeah,

815
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 2: give me twenty five to one to win the division.

816
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,799
Speaker 2: I've been against the Rebels for the last couple of years.

817
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 2: I'm with them this year. By the way. The best

818
00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: part about this bet, yeah, twenty five to one. Well,

819
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: now by the end of September it's at Alabama and

820
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:13,879
Speaker 2: LSU and back to back weeks.

821
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: Doing the Vegas Steak Dinner Losers September thirty.

822
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:19,959
Speaker 2: All right, yep, that's in. We're in on steak dinner

823
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 2: on that game. I got the ReBs, you got the Tigers.

824
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 2: All right, Let's move on the Arkansas Razorbacks. One hundred

825
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 2: to one to win the SEC, forty to one to

826
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 2: win the SEC West win total over six and a

827
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 2: half minus one fifty at Betamgym. They draw a road

828
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 2: game at Florida and a home game against Missouri from

829
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: the SCC East. kJ Jefferson back, great running back room,

830
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 2: questions at wide receiver, questions on the offensive line, do

831
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: we trust Pittman no matter what? Though? There questions at

832
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 2: tight end. You know you lose your top four receivers,

833
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: a lot of turner on the offensive line, new defensive

834
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 2: coordinator as well. Soquestion for you, Danny Knows offensive coordinator,

835
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 2: Travis Williams, the new defensive coordinator, and Sam Pittman with

836
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:14,959
Speaker 2: this rebuilt offensive line, can arkansall improve on a seven

837
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,359
Speaker 2: and six year last year? Keep in mind they're oh

838
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 2: to three when kJ was sidelined. What do you think

839
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: of this razorback team who does have a pretty easy

840
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 2: non con to get things started, and they get Missouri

841
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 2: and Florida from the east, but they start with Western

842
00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: Carolina Kent State, who might be worse than Western Carolina,

843
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 2: f Iu e Yu at home and then f Iu

844
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:41,879
Speaker 2: at home, Sandwich sandwich between Auburn and Missouri at home.

845
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 2: So good finish, good, good start. It's the middle. You

846
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 2: gotta go six and oh, I mean to feel really

847
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 2: good about going over six and a half because you're

848
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: middle at least five and one. Your middle is at

849
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:06,600
Speaker 2: LSU Texas A and M and A in Arlington, at Ole,

850
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 2: miss at Alabama, Mississippi State at home after that hard,

851
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: horrible stretch and Mississippi State's off of a bye to

852
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 2: boot and then you get a buye then you're at Florida.

853
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: That is which I don't artist has ever won at

854
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: Florida ever.

855
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the hardest six game stretch of college football, folks.

856
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 2: So we schedules just like, all right, let's get things started.

857
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 2: You should do that well and then if we could survive,

858
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 2: we have a nice cush soft landing. But can they

859
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 2: survive that middle? We're not dan Enos guys. No, the

860
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: time has come. What are your thoughts on your hows

861
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 2: woo pig suy absolute dumpster fine up. I don't know

862
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 2: how we win a game the rest of the year,

863
00:45:53,080 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 2: just flowing program up. Give us a death sentence.

864
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: Collins talking razorback football.

865
00:45:59,560 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 2: No.

866
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: I am blocked by Danny Noos on Twitter. I've never

867
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 1: personally said anything about him. I try to stay as

868
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: professional as possible on my Twitter. I always have. I

869
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: think it's because of our Action Network social team put

870
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: a video together of me calling dany Nos out on

871
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 1: a podcast. I guess he got winto that and I

872
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: got blocked back in twenty eighteen. And I believe it's

873
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: because Arkansas lost to Toledo at home, and Danny knows

874
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 1: could not beat a Toledo team he used to coach

875
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: against me. He's in Central Michigan. I do not like

876
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: Danyos as a coach. His tenure at the end of

877
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: Arkansas was bad. His tenure at Alabama was worse. It

878
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 1: had Saban running around the locker room saying where the

879
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: fuck is Dan? Because Dan packed his stuff and went

880
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 1: to Miami, which didn't go well either. Then Dan ends

881
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 1: up on what Maryland?

882
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 2: I mean this guy? You and I I said this before.

883
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: You and I have had this job for six years.

884
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 2: Danny knows has had six jobs since you and I

885
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: have been doing this.

886
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: So was I happy about the hire?

887
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 3: No.

888
00:46:56,400 --> 00:47:00,239
Speaker 1: I knew it was gonna happen, though, because Pittman never

889
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 1: threw Kendleborrow was under the bus last year. But the

890
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 1: play calling was not what Pittman wanted. It's not what

891
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: I want, It's not what any of us wanted. Some

892
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: of the decision making with kJ, and kJ was frustrated too.

893
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 1: The play calling was not good, so we knew a

894
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator was coming in. When he picked Danny Andos,

895
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,359
Speaker 1: I was pretty upset about it, But then I went

896
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: and remembered that Sam Pittman was the offensive line coach

897
00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: four offensive coordinator Dan Enos on the twenty fifteen Arkansas

898
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 1: razorback offense that ought to enter the spin zone. That

899
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: offense with Brandon Allen and Alex Collins Buddha Collins finished

900
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: second in sp plus. That offense was a powder keg.

901
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 1: And I think Pittman made an easy decision, saying, I've

902
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,439
Speaker 1: had a lot of success with Danny Inos before. Let's

903
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 1: get the spread coast in here inside outside zone. With kJ,

904
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: we got the best center in the SEC let's roll

905
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: outside of Brady Latham over at left guard. The rest

906
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,360
Speaker 1: of the offensive line is a question mark, low on experience.

907
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 2: So that yeah, So are you trusting Pittman that's a

908
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:08,240
Speaker 2: specialty get this together? Or are there too many questions

909
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 2: where I trusted.

910
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: Because the offense last year lost Treylon Burks. They never

911
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: identified hazel Wood, they never identified anybody on the outside

912
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: that could be a target for kJ, and they still

913
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 1: made the offense work because Rocket Sanders is an absolute

914
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: animal now weighing two hundred and forty two pounds. Yeah,

915
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 1: he's listened to two twenty five. He came into two

916
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: forty two. Rocket Sanders is going to mow over everybody.

917
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 1: And that's the offense. That's the entire offense. kJ looked

918
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,200
Speaker 1: super slim at media days, So you're right, there's no targets.

919
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,800
Speaker 1: But there were no targets last year either, and they struggled.

920
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: But the real problem last year was the defense. And

921
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things going on in the defense.

922
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much I should talk about here.

923
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: There were some issues on Dixon Street. There was an

924
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: arrest that I think the fat Ole police got. I

925
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 1: think they overstepped their boundaries with what they did to Slusher.

926
00:48:56,040 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: I think it caused a little bit of a riff

927
00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 1: in the locker room, and that's why you saw that

928
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: secondary all hit the portal. That's why you saw a

929
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: mass exitu of defensive players. They didn't want him in

930
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: the locker room, didn't match with what they wanted to do.

931
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,439
Speaker 1: New defensive coordinator comes in. I got to Meetia Days,

932
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 1: I got to ask Pittman about Travis Williams coming in,

933
00:49:12,440 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: because Travis Williams is crazy. He calls an unbelievable amount

934
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: of blitz when he was at Central Florida for Gus Mauson.

935
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,719
Speaker 1: I projected him seven point two. I'm not saying I

936
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: believe in Danny Noos, but the chemistry between Danny Noose

937
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 1: and Sam Pittman did earn them with a fable high

938
00:49:27,400 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: school quarterback, the second best offense in SPPLUS, and twenty fifteen,

939
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:32,759
Speaker 1: so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.

940
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: Pittman is twenty two and twelve against the spread. He

941
00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: makes us all money go home, projected seven point two.

942
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm over six and a half. I'm over seven plus money.

943
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,359
Speaker 1: Eight is the ceiling for me. But I really think

944
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,520
Speaker 1: that I just don't see a path to them getting

945
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:51,440
Speaker 1: to six seven wins either pushes or cashes tickets.

946
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:53,919
Speaker 2: Let's go all right, I heard it here first over

947
00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:02,239
Speaker 2: on Arkansas. Let's move on to Auburn Eagle sixty six

948
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 2: to one to win the SEC thirty to one to

949
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: win the SEC West. Win total sitting at over six

950
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 2: and a half minus one twenty five at bet MGM.

951
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: They draw a home game against Georgia in a road

952
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 2: game against Vanderbilt from the SEC East. The big news

953
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 2: down at Auburn, Hugh Freeze, the turnaround artist, has arrived

954
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 2: to turn this program around, which I think he will

955
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,359
Speaker 2: do eventually. I think that they're going to become more

956
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:31,240
Speaker 2: competitive and that's going to lead to better recruiting classes.

957
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 2: It's going to fix some of the trenches that we

958
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 2: see from the passer gems, that the residual effect that

959
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:38,760
Speaker 2: you know that you looked at some of the linemen

960
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 2: that Auburn's begetting over the past couple of years, like

961
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: two three stars. Hugh Freeze, I think it's going to

962
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 2: turn this program. It's all he's ever done. This year

963
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 2: might be a tougher, smaller ask. I think I heard

964
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 2: you hand on the last podcast that you love this

965
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 2: Auburn team. They have a quarterback battle going on, mainly

966
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 2: because Peyton Thorn transferred in there from Michigan State after

967
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 2: the spring, probably thought he had a chance to potentially start,

968
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 2: and also saw potentially how bad things could get at

969
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 2: Michigan State. A new defensive coordinator, Ron Roberts comes in

970
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: from Baylor. New offensive coordinator comes in with Hugh Freeze.

971
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 2: That's Phil Montgomery from Tulsa. I think you see a

972
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 2: spread RPO system already have a top twenty recruiting class

973
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: in here. Do you trust Peyton Thorn if not Robbie Ashford?

974
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 2: Can he actually throw the ball? He should be a

975
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 2: good fit for this offense just with his mobility. They're

976
00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 2: loaded at running back even after losing Bigsby. Offensive line

977
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:49,840
Speaker 2: needs to be better at least they're a year older,

978
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 2: brought of upperclassmen. Wide receiver also a big unknown. So

979
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 2: there's certainly some questions on this team. What do you

980
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 2: see with Auburn, who obviously has a tough schedule. You

981
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 2: got you know, home games against Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi.

982
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 2: That's tough. When you have those games at home, then

983
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,560
Speaker 2: you're at Texas A and M. You're at Arkansas. You

984
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 2: do start with UMass in a very winnable game at

985
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 2: Cal before another win at home against Sanford. You also

986
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 2: have New Mexico State towards the end of the year

987
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 2: at home. So really should be four and oh at

988
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 2: Cal maybe is kind of tricky, but I'm very debt.

989
00:52:30,719 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 2: We're both down on Cal. You should be four and oh,

990
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: non con you're at Vandy. You know you're at Arkansas.

991
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 2: So a lot of these teams that you maybe could

992
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: beat are on the road, and then these tough teams

993
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 2: are all at home and they've been great at home.

994
00:52:43,360 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 2: Last year they were disaster on the road, which makes

995
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 2: it tough. What do you see with Auburn over six

996
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 2: and a half minus one twenty five?

997
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: Did you know this is the best coach in the SEC?

998
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,400
Speaker 1: So where that's coming from is There was an interview

999
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: that Lane Kiff and cut on SEC Network last year.

1000
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 1: It didn't get a lot of public, didn't get a

1001
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 1: lot of play. Somebody asked about who is the best

1002
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: game day coach in college football and he immediately said

1003
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 1: it's Hugh Freeze. He said nobody is more prepared on

1004
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: game days as a coach, as a manager of the roster,

1005
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: as halftime adjustments, as Hugh Freeze. That's a big statement

1006
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: from Lane Kiffin. So when he got this job, immediately

1007
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: it flashed in my brain, Well, he just brought a

1008
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 1: Liberty defense to Arkansas and beat Arkansas, and he's bringing

1009
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: that entire staff. Josh Aldridge was a defensive coordinator. Now

1010
00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 1: he's over as a position coach because hu Freese decided

1011
00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: to go out and get Ron Roberts, who has been

1012
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: with Dave Randa for the last three years. Poor Ron

1013
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: Roberts got fired because I think Randa had to have

1014
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: a sacrificial lamb after the defense that Baylor had last year.

1015
00:53:55,440 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 1: The defensive staff produced miracles at Liberty with what they

1016
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: were able to do, and now they're all here. They

1017
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 1: get seventy percent of the defense back. All these numbers,

1018
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to point to stats from last year

1019
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: under the Brian Harson era. They're terrible. They're god awful

1020
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: for the talent that was on this team. But this

1021
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,320
Speaker 1: coaching staff has proven that they can pull a rabbit

1022
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: out of a hat. Now I'm switching to the offensive

1023
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: side of the ball, where Jarque's hunter was the seventh

1024
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: highest elusive running back per PFF. The offensive line completely

1025
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 1: bolstered by transfers from Tulsa. Well, how did they get

1026
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: transfers from Tulsa on the offensive line? Because Philip Montgomery

1027
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: is now the offensive coordinator and if you look into

1028
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: his background, he was the quarterback coach for RG three.

1029
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,719
Speaker 1: Now he gets Robbie Ashford. You better well bet you

1030
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: when they run a run RPO, Robby Ashford is going

1031
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 1: to be in there doing some damage. When they run

1032
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: a round under center, play action pass, hit someone deep.

1033
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 1: We've seen Peyton Thorn hit you know, Naylor and Reed

1034
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: fifty yards down the field. He can drop a dime.

1035
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: So you have two quarterbacks to do two different things

1036
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: better than I would say the Alabama quarterbacks that we

1037
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: talked about earlier on this podcast. I mean, would you

1038
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,360
Speaker 1: take Ashford over Milroe? I would. From a havoc allowed

1039
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: perspective coaching staff, I believe in one hund percent on

1040
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball quarterback room. I believe in

1041
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,720
Speaker 1: Jarko's hunter. I believe in eighty percent of their tackles

1042
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: and stops return. From an experienced perspective, the recruiting is

1043
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: on fire. I make the number seven point nine. The

1044
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,360
Speaker 1: wind totals came out. The wind totals came out on

1045
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: the day of the Kentucky Derby. My poor wife, I said, bye,

1046
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: she goes, where are you going? It's Saturday. We're gonna

1047
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 1: hang out. No, we're not. I'm driving up to Kansas.

1048
00:55:44,719 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: I have to make legal bets and I have to

1049
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 1: go to Kansas to get it because I got a

1050
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:54,080
Speaker 1: few dimes down on the Auburn over so over six, yes,

1051
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: it's not there anymore. Over six and a half, yes,

1052
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: over seven, yes, I stopped buying at seven and a half,

1053
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 1: it's not there. Get over six and a half, you

1054
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 1: get an alternate seven. I'm a big believer in Auburn

1055
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: win total perspective, they're not. I don't know if they

1056
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,840
Speaker 1: can beat Georgia and Alabama. They could beat Alabama in

1057
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: the last game here in the Iron Bowl. Anything can

1058
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 1: happen in that game. But they're going to bet UMass,

1059
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: Cow Sanford Vandy in New Mexico State. That's five wins,

1060
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: no questions asked. They're going to be a small favorite

1061
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: of Mississippi State. We haven't got there yet, but I'm

1062
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,399
Speaker 1: going to count that as a win at six, then

1063
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: I just need one as a small underdog the Texas

1064
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: A and m ol Miss in Arkansas. I like my chances.

1065
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: Why because if I get to six wins, I can

1066
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: hedge out of it. That's why I drove up and

1067
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: put a whole bunch of dimes on them during the

1068
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 1: Kentucky Derby. I believe in this team from a coaching

1069
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: perspective and a roster perspective or eagle.

1070
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 2: All right, there you have it over on Auburn's past

1071
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 2: for me. But I don't hate your argument. I'm curious

1072
00:56:50,400 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: to see how the quarterback decisions sick. You know, if

1073
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: there's one guy, I can figure it out. This freeze

1074
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 2: last team in the SEC West you get to it,

1075
00:56:58,000 --> 00:56:59,920
Speaker 2: and it's the last team of the College Football betting preview,

1076
00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 2: Mississippi State. We will finish up in cow bell Town

1077
00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 2: hundred to one to win the SEC fifty to one.

1078
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 2: When the SEC West over six flat. They draw Kentucky

1079
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,640
Speaker 2: at home and at South Carolina. From the SEC East,

1080
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,240
Speaker 2: they do, I believe. Let me pull there. Their schedule here,

1081
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 2: they host Alabama, they host LSU, and they host Ole Miss.

1082
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 2: That's not great. They I love the miss State homefield advantage.

1083
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 2: But those are three of the toughest teams in the SEC,

1084
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 2: and you're hosting them all, which means your road games

1085
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 2: if you want to pick up wins in the SC

1086
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 2: you're at South Carolina, at Arkansas, at Auburn, at Texas

1087
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 2: A and them. They do have a reasonable very reasonable

1088
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 2: non com They're at home against Southeast Louisiana, home against Arizona,

1089
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 2: home against Western Michigan is dreadful, and then home against

1090
00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 2: Southern Miss late in the year before they host Ole

1091
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 2: Miss in the finale A Bowl. I have questions about

1092
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 2: this team. There's a new offense coordinator Versall r If.

1093
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 2: Mike Leach is a legend, a favorite coach of all time.

1094
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a new offensive scheme here. You'll have

1095
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 2: like more balance. You have a good offensive linear with

1096
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirteen starts coming back four starters. But

1097
00:58:26,040 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 2: it's another scheme change, like Will Rogers another scheme. It's

1098
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 2: gonna be more like a balanced attack. I assume under

1099
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 2: Barbe I have major secondary questions. After losing Forbes in company,

1100
00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 2: I think that's really gonna hurt. So, yeah, they are

1101
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 2: one of only seven schools with a thirteen plus year

1102
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 2: Bowl streak that I think might be in question this year.

1103
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 2: I think their absolute ceiling of six wins. This is

1104
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,840
Speaker 2: an under that I really like. I'm usually a miss

1105
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 2: State buyer, was last year after a nine to four

1106
00:59:05,480 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 2: year Last year, things broke their way to set a

1107
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 2: regression condick. But with all of the change, I'm selling

1108
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: Mississippi State. Give me the under here six and a

1109
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: half or six one.

1110
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 1: You're correct. I wanted to wait till I got to

1111
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: Media Days to see Zach Arnett handle the podium. This

1112
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: conference is full of alpha head coaches, the best in

1113
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 1: the nation. I'm just going to say. The only thought

1114
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 1: that came to my brain was he's not ready for this.

1115
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator hire of Kevin Barbey is coming from Appalachian State.

1116
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 1: Before that, he was at Central Michigan. He averages a

1117
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: fifty six percent run rate. That is a massive jump

1118
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: from thirty two percent under Mike Leech. So we have

1119
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: an offensive line, unproven that's going to go through blocking

1120
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 1: change schemes. I am not a fan of changing how

1121
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line blocks. This drastic and this is how.

1122
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: After Will Rogers and this offensive line had basically mastered

1123
00:59:59,000 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 2: the previous scheme.

1124
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: The defense, which is Zach Arnett's specialty, massive pass breakup

1125
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 1: and pressure's loss almost all of them ten percent returns.

1126
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I've seen that number that low on

1127
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: any team in college football. Can the defense recover? I

1128
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,920
Speaker 1: would say no, portal forty eighth in portal ranking. The

1129
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: defense needs help in the secondary, and you didn't grab anybody.

1130
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: The offense is a new scheme, and you didn't bring

1131
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,240
Speaker 1: anybody in. Mike Right comes in from Vandy. I guess

1132
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna get an RPO package behind Will Rodgers, Like,

1133
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: when is he gonna play? He's not gonna run the will.

1134
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: Whatever Will Rodgers has run is not gonna be what

1135
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: Mike Wright is running from Vanderbilt. That didn't make any

1136
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 1: sense to me. This defense completely fell off the grid

1137
01:00:41,560 --> 01:00:43,479
Speaker 1: last year. They finished one hundred and twenty third pass

1138
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: rush that's supposed to be Zach Arnett's specialty. I don't

1139
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 1: agree with anything that's going on here. Stock I'm taking

1140
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,480
Speaker 1: under on the six and a half. Mathematically, I make

1141
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: it six. I think it's gonna end up lower.

1142
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 2: YEP. I agree, all right, that'll do it for us.

1143
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 2: But before we get out of here, we have one

1144
01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 2: final three and out of the College Football Conference Betting Pride.

1145
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Well, let's make it a quick three and out.

1146
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:12,479
Speaker 2: So let's start with first down. It's our favorite over

1147
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 2: or future con. I'll let you start.

1148
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do two overs real quick. I'm gonna say

1149
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: Auburn and Arkansas both on the over on their win total.

1150
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: I like the hires that both teams have made head

1151
01:01:24,400 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: coaching perspective. From Auburn, they have the pieces in place

1152
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,800
Speaker 1: of Brian Harson just didn't know how to use and

1153
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 1: take the over with them. And then with Arkansas, Listen,

1154
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy. kJ Jefferson and Rocket Sanders and their

1155
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,919
Speaker 1: center Bo Limmer, who squat seven undred pounds, is gonna

1156
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,400
Speaker 1: run over a ton of defenses. I project them at

1157
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 1: seven point two. They have a new aggressive defensive style.

1158
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna give up explosive plays, but they're gonna have

1159
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,160
Speaker 1: a lot of sacks and a lot of tackles for loss.

1160
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: I like the over on both of those teams, Auburn

1161
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 1: and Arkansas.

1162
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 2: I'll give you a little something, a little spice here.

1163
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 2: I'll get you ole mess twenty five to one to

1164
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 2: win the Division. I see some potential cracks top of

1165
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 2: this division. Not as high on LSU as you. Alabama

1166
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 2: could take a step back, especially if their quarterback situation

1167
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 2: isn't sorted out. Who could take advantage Ole Miss? You

1168
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 2: know the offense is gonna be great. I actually think

1169
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 2: the defense could take a step up. There is value

1170
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: an ole Miss not only an over of their win total,

1171
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 2: but a little sprinkle twenty five to one to win

1172
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 2: the division. Let's go lane, all right, Let's move on

1173
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 2: to second down, and that's our favorite under of the

1174
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 2: SEC West cong kick things off.

1175
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: I think you and I are gonna agree, but give

1176
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: me Mississippi State on the under under six and a half.

1177
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: I would even take an under six if you can

1178
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: find some juice, some positive juice there.

1179
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just don't think. Look, it's an easy non

1180
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,960
Speaker 2: conference schedule, but I don't like the way that the

1181
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 2: conference schedule broke. You're playing all the toughest teams at home,

1182
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 2: and your winnable games are on paper on the road.

1183
01:02:57,840 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't like the way the schedule broke. I think

1184
01:02:59,440 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 2: the absolutely feeling for the seam six wins, I think

1185
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 2: they finally do finish in abasement with all this change.

1186
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 2: I agree with you on under Mississippi State. All right,

1187
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 2: that was as fun as I thought it was going

1188
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 2: to be really fun episode. That all conclude our college

1189
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:20,360

1193
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 2: of our favorite futures and win totals, and then before

1194
