00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: I'm good.

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: It feels like you could warm up for a like

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: a game show or a talk show. Like you have

13
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: a good voice when you when you say my man, yeah,

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 2: Like I feel as if you could get the crowd

15
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: going at the price is right, some Drew Carrey comes out.

16
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm the Drew Carrey hype man. Is what you're saying?

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: You're an opener, like you could come out before Conan, Like?

18
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: Where is everybody from? That?

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 2: I feel doesn't pay well but might be your professional calling.

20
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know how to follow that up, but

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: welcome to the show, boys and girls. I'm Ty, He's Dan.

22
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: We're the Solid Verbal. You can find us out on

23
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Apple or Google or Spotify or tune in or stitcher

24
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: anywhere where you can find a podcast you can listen

25
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: for free. That's what we do here. We talk college

26
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: football now twice a week as we gear up for

27
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: the college football season. Today we are doing a very

28
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: important show. It is our SEC West preview show. Dan.

29
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: We've been going through division by division, conference by conference

30
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: and talking about all the relevant factoids that may only

31
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: interest you and I, but nonetheless are somewhat important. And

32
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: we did what Big ten East a week ago. Yep,

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: that was a big one. Tonight, We've got a huge one.

34
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: A lot of interest for sure in the SEC West.

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, it is the best division in the southern part

36
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: of the United States. That is something I am willing

37
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: to confidently say in state right.

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: That is objectively true.

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, I'm excited for this one. I don't have

40
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: a nickname for the SEC West like we've given nicknames

41
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 2: to other divisions, the SEC VEST, the SEC VEST Formed.

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: I don't know the SEC Chest. I'm not there yet, Tie.

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: We need a little we need a little skin from

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Nick Saban before we go SEC Chest.

45
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: That's true, there is a lot to talk about. This

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: is probably more fun for me to talk about than

47
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: it has been these past few years, just because I

48
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: like novelty tie. I like treating college football like a

49
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: TV show, and I enjoy that it's a new season,

50
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: a couple of stars left, and we're getting in new blood,

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 2: you know, and hopefully it's like did you watch Friday

52
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 2: Night Lights? Yeah, of course, I'm hoping it's an East

53
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: Dill and West still in situation. Yeah, where we have

54
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: some new stars, we have some new storylines. I am

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: excited for what I think is because you know, traditionally

56
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: these past few years, it's been sort of Alabama LSU,

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: and then Auburn here and there. Auburn, you know, is

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: comes along and has a great season, then goes like

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 2: six and six, or you have a year or two

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: of the Mississippi schools jumping up, making a lot of noise,

61
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: and then obviously after making a lot of noise, you

62
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 2: get tight and need a massage.

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: Shout out.

64
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 2: But there is something very exciting to me about Arkansas rebooting.

65
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: And we do miss you, Burt. We miss you a

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: whole lot.

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: We do. I still have the sound on the board.

68
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: By the way, people, we did a Reddit ama on yes,

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: reddit dot com, slash r slash solid verbal or subreddit,

70
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: and we did get a very specific question about the soundboard.

71
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: Would we be expanding the soundboard to include sounds for

72
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: other coaches, And there was a call out in there

73
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 1: for the Brett Beelms sound, which is never going to leave.

74
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: That's never going to go away just because he's not

75
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: a coach.

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: Part of our fabric. We have Jimbo Fisher in a

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: pretty sensical move in terms of we expect a lot

78
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: of success both in the recruiting trail on the field

79
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: with texts A and M. I don't know if that

80
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: means anything beyond nine to three, but in the SEC

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 2: West that's pretty good. And there's I think that the

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 2: nearest and dearest part of the novelty of the SEC West,

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: and that's the very first person to ever work in

84
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 2: both the Bronx and Starkville, Mississippi.

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a weird VENN diagram, isn't.

86
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: It has become a thing. And Matt Luke with a

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: really fun offense at Ole, miss and then you have

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: the sort of more familiar stories at Alabama Auburn.

89
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: And listen, listen, listen, listen, listen, listen. I'm ready don't

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: preview it all right out of the show.

91
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm just it's sort of like when you read

92
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: one of those articles on the internet tie yeah, where

93
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 2: they got a couple of highlights up top, but you

94
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: got to dig down to find out.

95
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: Okay, all the juicy stuff. Well, you are excited. You

96
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: sound about as excited as you were the last time

97
00:04:57,960 --> 00:04:58,840
Speaker 1: you drank a cold Bruce.

98
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: So I hope you're had a I had a green tea.

99
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 2: I've got some ginger tea right now. It's all flowing,

100
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: all right.

101
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for downloading the show, for listening to

00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: talk about all things sec. We're also very excited for

104
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: a big deal we've got going on this weekend. Now. Look,

105
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: we have talked about this for several months and weeks running,

106
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: but it is down to the nitty gritty. Yeah. If

107
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: you are going to be in Chicago, if you are

108
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: going to be around Chicago.

109

Speaker 2: Yeah, If you're just listening to the band Chicago.

00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever the case. If you're a Bears fan, I

Speaker 1: don't care, get your butt to Chicago. Yeah. On Saturday,

Speaker 1: to pack that place as best we can. Still just

119
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: a handful left, but we want people to show up,

120
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: and we're very excited about this show. We've also had

121
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity to now go through and in truth solid

122
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: verbal forms start planning our show. Woefully late, yes, but

123
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: the early draft prospects for a Fantasy Things draft are hysterical.

124
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I am very excited about where this is going to head.

125
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: It's our stupidest and most ridiculous draft ever. And I

126
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 2: can promise you if you show up, ty will one

127
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: do a standing back flip. Two, reveal his day job,

128
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: his mystery day job, mysterious day job. And three and

129
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 2: this is the spiciest tie. You've sworn me to secrecy,

130
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: but you said you will reveal the Hollywood starlet with

131
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: whom you had an affair many moons ago. Yeah, this

132
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: is all happened. I thought I made all of that up,

133
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: but you were in you you got a little bit

134
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: closer to your headphones thinking that there was this. It's

135
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: it's going to be a great time. We've got guests,

136
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: there's my parents are going to be there. Yeah, it's

137
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: it's ridiculous the mix of people that my Adam Aman's

138
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: going to be there with my parents. It's all going

139
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 2: to be very strange and fun. And we cannot stress enough.

140
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: If none of this appeals to you, you got to

141
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 2: come just to hang out and it's a cool place

142
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: in the Chicago summer. We're doing hashtag tenders with tie after.

143
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: It's a great it's a great, great time coming out

00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: live tonight. Do it? Why not with our friends from

150
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: Super Boss. Yeah, you want to get into the sec

151
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: Why don't we get in? Hold on? I have a

152
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: drum roll here, Actually, you know what I have, Lex Steele.

153
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: Let's play him. Yeah, let's play Lex Steele before we

154
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: talk about the SEC West. So let's start where we

155
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 1: always start. Dan, I feel like a broken record because

156
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: I start out all the previous shows the same way.

157
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: The framework for all of these shows is why should

158
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: I care? YEP, Because we're both in our mid thirties

159
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: at this point. The burden of everyday life is much

160
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: greater now than it was when we're like fifteen, eighteen,

161
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Got a lot of things on our minds,

162
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: So why should we care about the SEC West? And

163
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: that's where we're going with all this. But before we

164
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: get there, let's talk about our initial impressions about the

165
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: West just as a division within the SEC, within the

166
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: ecosystem of college football. What are your main takeaways here.

167
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 2: That there's no real middle ground to the SEC West.

168
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: You have like a ton of experience mixed with a

169
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: ton of questions. No, there's no team that is like,

170
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I definitely see seven and five, eight and four.

171
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 2: Things can go in so many different ways for everybody,

172
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 2: and I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing.

173
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 2: I think somebody's going to jump up. I think somebody's

174
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: going to fall down. But there is which I think

175
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: I like. I think I do like this that we're

176
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: dealing with the case of extremes, at least before the

177
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: season actually starts. That's my impression. You have two teams

178
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 2: that have the clear best defensive fronts in the division

179
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 2: to me, Alabama and Auburn. LSU is right there as well,

180
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: but not quite, and everybody else is just scrambling. Everybody

181
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 2: else has pieces. There's another team that I like that

182
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 2: could go to nine to ten wins. But I like

183
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 2: the fact that there is nothing mellow about this division.

184
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Well, and there's a lot of mystery about it too.

185
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: I think we know what we're gonna we're going to

186
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: get from Alabama, right, we don't know all the key contributors. Well,

187
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: we don't know all the key contributors on defense because

188
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: they're relatively new on defense. But I think we expect

189
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: a level of quality from Alabama that we've seen YearIn

190
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: and year out. That's one of the constants of the

191
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: SEC West. But otherwise, you know, new coaches at Mississippi

192
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: State and Texas A and M and Arkansas. I got

193
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: some real hot takes on Arkansas, a full.

194
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 2: Time at Ole miss interim tag is off.

195
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, sure. So just a lot of mystery throughout

196
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: that I think makes this a very very interesting side

197
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: of the SEC to follow. Let's start at the top

198
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: with Alcabama. None of Alabama. Okay, defending national champion dog,

199
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: we gotta talk about it. I wanted to.

200
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 2: I mean in the way like we did last week.

201
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: I like throwing people for a loop. Who did we

202
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 2: start with last week?

203
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: In Indiana? Indiana? Okay, I want to start with Alabama.

204
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: They are these as expected. Yeah, I know, defending national

205
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: champions eleven to one regular season, won the playoff game,

206
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: and of course won a thriller in the National Championship

207
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 1: over Georgia, over time, big time pass from Tua tongue

208
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: of Iolaa to win that national championship. This year, now,

209
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: Bama's got ten guys back, ten starters back, seven on offense,

210
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: three on defense. But what I would say is that

211
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: the number is a little bit misleading if you're Alabama,

212
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: because really it's an embarrassment of riches from top to bottom,

213
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: and even a lot of the quote unquote non starters

214
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: got a ton of playing time last year, So it's

215
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: not a true indicator in the way that it might

216
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 1: be if we're talking about a team like in Iowa. Right,

217
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: there's just so much depth at Alabama that I think,

218
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: I think I.

219
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: Like Iowa don't pick on Iowa.

220
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm not picking on Iowa. But would you debate the

221
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: point that Alabama's got way more depth than Iowa.

222
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 2: I would not debate that point.

223
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: Thank you. So here's where we're at with this team.

224
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: We're going to get into all of the relevant names,

225
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: but I will start out by saying it is an

226
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: extremely workable road schedule, which is what I look at

227
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 1: first and foremost anytime we're talking about SEC teams, because usually,

228
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: especially in the West, it's a murderer's row. Here is

229
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: what we're looking at in terms of a road schedule

230
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:19,959
Speaker 1: for Alabama at Mississippi, at Arkansas, at Tennessee, and at LSU.

231
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: Those are the true road games, right.

232
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: Louisville's in Orlando.

233
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I was gonna say that's where you stole

234
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: my thunder a little bit, but sorry, No, it's okay.

235
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: I think the toughest game away from home might be

236
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 1: in Week one, and it might be the neutral cider

237
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 1: in Orlando against Louisville.

238
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: No, you think going to Orlando to play Louisville a

239
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 2: Brian Van Gorder defense is going to be more difficult

240
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: than the two million dollar man with a lot of

241
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 2: healthy talent and Dave Randa go in Death Valley.

242
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: I said, Mike, I was Hedgie a little bit. I said,

243
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: might we love Puma pass? We do. I love me

244
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: some Puma Pass, but.

245
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 2: I think Elsie's gonna be tougher in Death Valley.

246
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: That's a fair point. So with that being said, I

247
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,839
Speaker 1: think an extraordinary amount of attention is going to be

248
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: paid to this quarterback battle, and I have battle in quotes.

249
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: It's truly an extraordinary situation if you think about it,

250
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: because Jalen Hurts, like not an all time great passer,

251
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: but at the same time has just lost what is it,

252
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,359
Speaker 1: one game in two years as a starting quarterback for Alabama,

253
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: which A that's really good. It's really really good, even

254
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: if he's not a top level passer. Agreed, disagree concerns thoughts.

255
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 2: No, I don't disagree at all. Jalen Hurts has been excellent.

256
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: But within the context of Alabama, I don't believe a

257
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: quarterback goes to Alabama to beat clearly inferior teams and

258
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: look great doing so. I want to say that a

259
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,719
Speaker 2: quarterback and on that level, great position players on both

260
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 2: sides to the ball go to Alabama to win games.

261
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: In late November, December, and early January. And so that's

262
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: not the case for We'll stick with Iowa or Kansas

263
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,119
Speaker 2: State or cal whatever. But within the context of Alabama,

264
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 2: it's great to say he's, you know, nine and oh

265
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 2: or eighteen and oh in September and October, but it

266
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 2: doesn't While the sec it just means more, it doesn't

267
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: mean as much in this situation.

268
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: I would agree absolutely. We are now in a weird

269
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: spot where Jalen's backup save the day in the National

270
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: title game, in the second half of the National title game,

271
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: title game, excuse me, particularly in the fourth quarter and

272
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: overtime spots of that National Championship game, which means there

273
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: is now a real open question about who is going

274
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: to get the spot. I think it's assumed that it's

275
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: going to be to a tongue of Ayola at this point.

276
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: I like, how careful you are attentive to his last name.

277
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: As you might have guessed, Jalen Hurts is frustrated about this,

278
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: and he did. He raised some eyebrows with comments that

279
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: he made last week where he was pretty candid about

280
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: the situation. He's like, nobody's asked me how I felt

281
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: about this How did you feel about what he said?

282
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: I thought all of it was reasonable. He's in a

283
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 1: very strange position as an admittedly successful quarterback who has

284
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: done everything asked of him. He had a bad first half.

285
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: He had a not so great Iron Bowl, not great

286
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 2: against Clemson, but the defense was unreal, and they made

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: a good call to bring in his backup, and his

288
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: backup shines. And he's been put in this position where

289
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: I don't think he wants to sit out for a year,

290
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 2: and he can graduate at the end of this season,

291
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: I believe, in December. And it's hard to imagine that

292
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: no matter what the coaching staff says, that he is

293
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: getting the fairest shake in terms of competing for this job,

294
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: because it's impossible to view twenty eighteen in a vacuum,

295
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: because you have all of this evidence that at times,

296
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 2: and listen, he was even in the National Championship game

297
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 2: they lost, he was amazing. He brought them back.

298
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

299
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 2: Right, It's it's hard not to say we got to

300
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: see what Tua has. It's hard not to say that

301
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 2: after you know, he looked great in garbage time last year.

302
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 2: He didn't really play that many, if any meaningful snaps

303
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: in games where there were something on the line, you know,

304
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: within a couple of touchdowns or something. But coming in

305
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: and playing that way against Georgia, it's impossible not to

306
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 2: ask yourself what would he be like getting number one

307
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 2: reps in practice, starting games, getting in a rhythm, getting

308
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: more comfortable with the speed of the game. So I

309
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: can sympathize with Jalen Hurt saying nobody's really talking to me.

310
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: It feels like everybody's going through the motions. I feel

311
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: like I'm going through the motions, and it's it's difficult,

312
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: and I think it a rough spring because too was out,

313
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 2: so he was counted on for the number one reps

314
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: once again. So it was a hand injury, which was

315
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 2: now fine. But it's a tricky situation. And I cannot

316
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,919
Speaker 2: imagine a way in which he is named the outright

317
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 2: starter and that is that, and he hangs out in

318
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: Tuscaloosa for another year after this one.

319
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: It's such a weird situation. There were say what we

320
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: want about his passing numbers, but a lot of his

321
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: numbers did improve from the year before. He just wasn't

322
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: the savior in the National Championship game. And let's be honest.

323
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 2: You don't have to be the savior. He just had

324
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 2: to be Okay, are.

325
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Pretty good, that's fair, absolutely, and he may not have

326
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 1: the skill set at least the same degree as to

327
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: a tongue of ayolola so attentive. The other thing that

328
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I'll point out here, because there are other players in

329
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,719
Speaker 1: this team, yeah, is how damn striking it is to

330
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 1: look at the numbers from last year and realize how

331
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: Little Bama actually needed to throw because they had three

332
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: guys and Damien Harris, Jalen Hurts, and Scarborough, all of

333
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: whom had more than one hundred and twenty four carries.

334
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: Naji Harris had sixty one carries. So they ran the

335
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: ball an awful lot last year. This year, both Damian

336
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: and Nase are back. Dan It's a double Harris backfield,

337
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, I'm thinking my pet nickname could be

338
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: Major Harris in an old nod to like nineteen eighty

339
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: eight West Virginia quarterback Major Harris.

340
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: Major Harris is not bad. You've You've thrown some stinkers

341
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 2: out there. It was gonna I have as a as

342
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: a Californian, I was gonna go with Harris Ranch, which

343
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: is a booie.

344
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: That's better. That's better. Yeah.

345
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: The only thing I don't like about that is it's

346
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 2: like a cattle ranch and players most certainly are not

347
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 2: pieces of meat.

348
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: So that's the difficulty.

349
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: But if we can ignore that problematic aspect, I Harris

350
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 2: Ranch is thriving Harris Ranch.

351
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: So they're gonna run, They're gonna be really good. On offense.

352
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: They've got something like seven quote unquote starters back again

353
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: in quotes air quotes because most everyone on the team

354
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:05,479
Speaker 1: got an experience from the year prior. Yep. The question

355
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: for me is I guess on defense if I have

356
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: one mm hm, because really just another embarrassment or riches

357
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: back there. The younger guys did see action a year ago,

358
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to see veterans like ray Kwan Davis

359
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: along the line, but I'm also pumped for younger guys

360
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: like Dylan Moses at linebacker, who is going to be

361
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,680
Speaker 1: a full time starter this year, and I think he's

362
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: going to be a tank. The biggest questions are probably

363
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: in the secondary, and generally Nick Saban does a pretty

364
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: good job shoring up that secondary well.

365
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 2: Starting with offense. Even starting above offense and defense, at

366
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 2: least in terms of structural organization hierarchy. This is a

367
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: new looking coaching staff. Yeah, this is Brian Dable leaves

368
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: after a year. Mike Loxley comes in as the full

369
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: time offensive coordinator with his co coordinator I believe is

370
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,160
Speaker 2: Josh Gattis, who comes in from Penn State and State

371
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 2: long time. You know, the receivers of Penn State have

372
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 2: been excellent these past few year, so you can assume

373
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 2: the very least Josh gattis in that passing game. We'll

374
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: keep going even without Calvin Ridley. Defensively, Jeremy Pruitt, in

375
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: obviously a high profile move, takes the head job at Tennessee,

376
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: and in slide sort of, Tosh Lupoy. Interestingly enough, Tosh

377
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 2: Lupoy and Mike Losley like three years ago, were analysts. Yeah,

378
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: Tosh Lupoy situation from cal gets messed up. He leaves,

379
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 2: and Mike Loxley obviously after not succeeding as a coordinator

380
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 2: and head coach, he slides in as an analyst. Now

381
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 2: these guys have worked their way up to coordinator and

382
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 2: then a new defensive line coach, maybe the best one

383
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 2: in the country in Craig Kuligowski comes from Miami via

384
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: Miami via Missouri whatever, Missouri via Miami, and it's just

385
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: it's a new look up and down this coaching staff.

386
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 2: So couple that with yes, a ton of offensive experience,

387
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 2: offensive experience up front. Jonah Williams has started forever now

388
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 2: at left tackle. Receiver is somewhat new without Calvin Ridley,

389
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 2: but they'll be fine there. Running back is stupid how

390
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: good it's going to be. And this is weird to say.

391
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 2: Damien Harris was really really good last year and almost

392
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 2: feels forgotten because we just sort of assumed he would

393
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: leave when when eligible, but decided to come back and like,

394
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,239
Speaker 2: oh yeah, Damien Harris is still there. Naj Harris, I

395
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: believe will become somebody that when you see him run,

396
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: there are certain guys who are like, oh wow, he's

397
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 2: excellent Naj Harris. Maybe somebody are like, what are you

398
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 2: supposed to do? What do you He's impossible? So that

399
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 2: is that must be nice. And then you know two

400
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: is probably going to start if I had to guess,

401
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: and he his ceiling is incredibly high because of his

402
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 2: arm and his awareness, and kahonis I don't know, but

403
00:21:51,760 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 2: sure feels macumin coonis and defensively, I think I disagree

404
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 2: with you a little bit, both just on a granular level,

405
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: not like big picture. There's a lot of holes to

406
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: fill kinds defense, and I like linebacker a lot because

407
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: they dealt with injuries at the end of last year,

408
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: so a lot of guys rotated in and have experience

409
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 2: up front. You know, DeShawn han Deron Pain. These guys

410
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 2: contributed for so long, and I don't think in the

411
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: same way that those guys were established names, you know,

412
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 2: Raykwon Davis, is that there are other guys in that

413
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 2: way ready to step in and immediately. The will by

414
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: week four or something like that. But I think early

415
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 2: on you might see some growing pains. They're gonna kill everybody,

416
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: but growing pains minebackers great. As we agree. Defensive back

417
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: we agree again. It's it's at a point where there

418
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 2: isn't that one or two names. You're like, yes, they

419
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 2: have to replace a lot, but they still have Minca,

420
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 2: they still have Marvel.

421
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: There's not a Minca back there this year, right.

422
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 2: So they'll be fine. They've recruited crazy Well, Patrick's certain

423
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 2: and Junior, the best corner in the country steps in

424
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 2: and should get into a rotation of some kind just

425
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 2: because they're gonna beating teams thirty five to three.

426
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Also maybe the national champion of making you and I

427
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 1: feel old knowing that gosh, he's a Jewie.

428
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, we've got some other Yeah, there are other

429
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 2: candidates right now. I think Auburn's receivers coach is Cody Burns,

430
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 2: which oo okay, but I am not terribly worried about

431
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: Alabama in a shocking, shocking turn of events. I do

432
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: think the most difficult game will be the Iron Bowl

433
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 2: because of how much talented beef Auburn has on both

434
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 2: sides of the ball. And you know, may have the

435
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: best quarterback in the in the conference in Jared Stidham

436
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 2: going to Death Valley, but it's after a bye. They

437
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: both have a bye the week before. That's going to

438
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: be tricky. But in terms of unexpected trip ups, so

439
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 2: Auburn it would be an expected one. LSU less expected.

440
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: Mississippi State to me, is is probably the trickiest one,

441
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 2: just because of they've recruited pretty well. They gave them

442
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,840
Speaker 2: all they could handle last year, and it's a week

443
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: after that LSU game, So give me something there's something

444
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 2: unexpected about and wild CARDI about Joe moorehead and Starkville.

445
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: Give me a rec give me a final final win total. Here,

446
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: I say twelve and zero. Really going out in a limb.

447
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: I say twelve and oh we got to move on.

448
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 1: We got to talk about all these other teams too.

449
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 2: I know, I know, Okay, I'm going to say ten

450
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 2: and two.

451
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah, it's a hot take, right there. Take aaru.

452
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,360
Speaker 1: All right, let's go. You mentioned the Iron Bowl. Now

453
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: that we've given Alabama their fair shake. They were the

454
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: national champion a year ago. Don't defend it. I'm not

455
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: defending it. I am defending it. Sure, I'm owning it.

456
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Whatever Auburn. Auburn went nine and three a year ago.

457
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: I am torn on Auburn this year because there are

458
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: more things about this team that I like then dislike.

459
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 1: But the things that I dislike are really pretty big things.

460
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 1: Do you feel the same.

461
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing that I that worries me to a

462
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 2: crazy degree. I'm not as torn as you are.

463
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: Ti.

464
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: I thought I saw a man brought to life. Yeah,

465
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 2: he was warm, he came around like he was dignified.

466
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: Sure, well, Natalie and Bruley up in here. Sure, I look.

467
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: I feel good about Auburn because the defense is seven

468
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: guys back and they're loaded, especially along the line. Kevin

469
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: Steele's gonna have them all tuned up. This will probably

470
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: be one of the better defenses in the country. Oh yeah,

471
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 1: and I also feel really good about Jared Stidham because

472
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: he's back along with like his top five wide receivers

473
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: from a year ago, but two of them are hurt. Yeah,

474
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about that. Actually, Okay, you

475
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: know we've been doing these spots where we talk about

476
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 1: the athletic and what the athletic brings to the table

477
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: and how everyone should sign up.

478
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: But I am not torn about the athletic.

479
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: No, I'm not either. I wanted to call out something

480
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: specific that I saw from Justin Ferguson over at the athletic.

481
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: Did you read this about Auburn's depth at wide receiver,

482
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the roles each guy can play within the malson offense.

483
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: You see it's titled here. I got the title, no Stove,

484
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: no Hastings, no problem. How Auburn can replace the injured

485
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: receiver duo and not miss a beat. Yeah, I wanted

486
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: to I wanted to call this out because you know,

487
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: you and I were researching every team in college football,

488
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: every Power five team at least in college football to

489
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: a pretty good degree. And there are only so many

490
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: magazines that you can go through, only so many web

491
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 1: previews that you can skim.

492
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: And they're printed in like May or June. Right, they're

493
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 2: printed in miss fairly updated. Yeah, there are.

494
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: Only so many you can look through, and really you're

495
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: not able to get a good idea of true context

496
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: for what is going on within a system. What mister

497
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Ferguson did, he was really useful to me as someone

498
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: who has to go and record and talk about these

499
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: teams knowledgeably. He went like with a microscope and just

500
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: dove in on what we're looking at here at a

501
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:19,879
Speaker 1: position group, how that position group affects the larger offense

502
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 1: at Auburn. I found this just as a fan and

503
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 1: as someone who has to talk about these or at

504
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,280
Speaker 1: least act like I know what I'm talking about these teams.

505
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: This to me was genuinely interesting and useful. Yeah.

506
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 2: I so, First of all, they are only like fourteen

507
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: national college football podcasters, right, and I think all of

508
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 2: us already subscribe to the Athletic so we don't need

509
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 2: to sell the national college football podcasters.

510
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: But I am.

511
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of the fact that we can

512
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,159
Speaker 2: look at this and an Auburn fan knows this, and

513
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 2: an Auburn fan already is probably on the athletic and

514
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: off he or she isn't the athletic dot com slash

515
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: solid verbal for two ninety nine a month, forty percent

516
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 2: off now, No. The interesting thing to me about this

517
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 2: is it provides context. Like you said, and so Eli

518
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: Stove and Will Hastings get hurt over spring acl injuries,

519
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 2: and Auburn may have the best quarterback in the SEC

520
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 2: and Jared Stidham, but you're only as good as the

521
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: guys catching your passes. And we know about Ryan Davis,

522
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 2: we know they've recruited well. But the fact is, you

523
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 2: can read a preview. You can go to a local

524
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 2: newspaper site and be inundated with ads for Dave Davis Dental.

525
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 2: But I'm getting quotes from Ryan Davis about white lightning,

526
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 2: Will Hastings, I'm getting quotes about how every guys are

527
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 2: going to be used on the ground, reporting in a

528
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: clean way. It was interesting to read. And furthermore, because

529
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: of reading this I'm a little bit higher on Auburn

530
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 2: than I was before. This is just incredible, just a

531
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: little bit higher because I like Auburn at quarterback obviously,

532
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: I like how much they return up front. I believe

533
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 2: in Cam Martin and the still green, but missing running

534
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 2: backs behind him. The defense is absurd to me. The

535
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 2: big question was, is there going to be you know,

536
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: a tipped ball that changes the course of a game,

537
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,720
Speaker 2: you know, a receiver offer receiver's hands or something like that.

538
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: So the fact is, and.

539
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 2: It doesn't even really matter that it's Auburn, it could

540
00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 2: be any of these schools that are that have beat

541
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: writers on the athletic. The fact is, it's just to

542
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 2: find information if you're just curious. It's just a slog,

543
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 2: and to go to the athletic is just it's two seconds.

544
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: It's clean. You read it on the site, you read

545
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 2: it on the app, and you're on your way.

546
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: I sat up in my chair. Here's here's the line

547
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: that really got me. Yeah. In Malzon's offense, positions are

548
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: given a number. For example, one is the quarterback, two

549
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: is the flanker, and nine is the split end. I

550
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: did not know any of that, Like, oh, it's really

551
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: good for nerding out. I love that, So we would

552
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: encourage everyone to go out to the Athletic dot slash

553
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: Solid Verbal. The fort off deal is still in play.

554
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,000

555
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: to the Athletic dot Com slash Solid Verbal sign up,

556
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: join the party. Dan and I are ready on the bandwagon.

00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: football at least. And yeah, pretty cool. You'll wonder.

561
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: You will wonder how you were a fan without it.

562
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: So there you go. The Athletic dot Com slash soliverbal

563
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: to ninety nine a month. That's forty percent off your

564
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: first year subscription check out.

565
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 2: Oh hurry, pause the show and do it right now,

566
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 2: don't waste time.

567
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't feel good about Auburn because of the schedule

568
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: and because I have real questions about four new starters

569
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: on the offensive line in the SEC.

570
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 2: That's a problem there, but there is there's a lot

571
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 2: of experience there too. They were blowing teams out last

572
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: year and there was a lot of rotation. I feel

573
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 2: better about them than you do.

574
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: That is all fair. Here are the teams that Auburn

575
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: must play. Okay, they've got three top five teams on

576
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 1: the schedule. None of them are at home. Well, yeah,

577
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: that's tough. That is tough. They got Washington neutral site

578
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 1: game Week one. Oo. They've got Georgia later in the

579
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 1: year on the road. They've got Bama later in the

580
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: year on the road. If Auburn were to go like

581
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: two and three over that stretch, I don't know if

582
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: they win the SEC, but they're in the top ten.

583
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: They're a top ten caliber team if they're beaten two

584
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 1: of those three. There's also a game at the beginning

585
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: of October which will sort of build to our Mississippi

586
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: State capsule next but on the road in Starkville beginning

587
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: of October, to me, strikes me as potentially tricky.

588
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: I would say, so, it's always tricky to go to Starkville.

589
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm feeling nine or ten wins for this Auburn team.

590
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty high on them to the degree that I

591
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: can be for nine or ten wins with that schedule.

592
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hell of an opener. The good thing is,

593
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: I don't think we'll see what textas A and M.

594
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 2: Looks like ole Miss is going to be tricky just

595
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: because they're going to be a wild card throw the

596
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: ball constantly, put up a ton of points in yards,

597
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 2: but give up a ton of points and yards. The

598
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: back half of that schedule is definitely trickier and as

599
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 2: weird as it is to start out with Washington get

600
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 2: LSU in week three for Auburn, and they generally do

601
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: play LSU early.

602
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: But.

603
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 2: It's not that heavy, and that Mississippi State game on

604
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 2: the road comes after Southern Miss and before Tennessee at home,

605
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: so it's not surrounded by anything crazy difficult. We expect

606
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 2: Tennessee to eventually improve into something formidable, but by October thirteenth.

607
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: That's tough.

608
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 2: The back half of that schedule, that's where it becomes,

609
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 2: you know, stylistically, a lot of differences. Ole Miss can

610
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 2: play up tempo texts. A and M is a mystery.

611
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: We don't think they're going to be a blurred offense.

612
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: And then they go to Jor in their cross division rivalry,

613
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 2: and then two weeks later going to Bama, to Georgia

614
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 2: and to Bama in a what two week span? Essentially,

615
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah about that?

616
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: Yea, So it's.

617
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: I have them at Yeah, probably ten and two. But

618
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 2: there's this weird down year thing about Auburn that I

619
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: don't that I'm never fully on board with. They generally

620
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 2: only lose to really really good teams. But man, going

621
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 2: on the road getting none of these teams, it's tough

622
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 2: on the planes. Yeah, I think I like Washington a

623
00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 2: little bit because of the Chris Peterson factor and how

624
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: slow Gus Melson has started out some septembers. If you

625
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 2: remember the Clemson game last year, not particularly good for

626
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: Auburn early. They're more of a grower than a show er. Tie.

627
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say ten and two. All right, it's

628
00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: still pretty damn good. It's excellent. Well, let's go to

629
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: Mississippi State. Then Mississippi State went eight and four. Their

630
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: coach left, Dan Mullen left to go over to Florida.

631
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: They made the call to bring over friend of the pod,

632
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: former Penn State offensive coordinator, former Fordham head football coach,

633
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: the one the only Joe moorehead Jomo comes into a

634
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: situation where he's got seventeen starters back from a year ago.

635
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: Don't know how much that matters because he is changing

636
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: up the scheme. However, it does help to have some

637
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: degree of chemistry coming back. Almost the entire offense is back,

638
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: and that includes Nick Fitzgerald. Nick Fitzgerald, I've talked about

639
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: him before. He is a bowling ball with eyes. He

640
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,920
Speaker 1: is six' five two thirty ran for almost one thousand

641
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: yards last year and had fourteen touchdowns through for fifteen

642
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: more of. Them he's Got Aris williams in the backfield with.

643
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: Him he ran for eleven hundred. Yard he's also. Back,

644
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: really the only losses on offense are a wide receiver

645
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: and a, tackle AND i feel pretty good about, that

646
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: knowing WHAT i know About Joe. Moore Head, DAN i

647
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: know you're really high On Mississippi state as. Well how

648
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: high are you On Mississippi?

649
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: STATE i am what's the guy who's saying she's so?

650
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 1: High? Hi Pal? Bachman?

651
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: Oh thank you so, yeah BECAUSE i do Think Mississippi

652
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: state is so. Lovely, okay couple of Things i'm going

653
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 2: to challenge you, on Please, nick? Please Nick fitzgerald physically,

654
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: TALENTED i would, argue not the greatest year through the,

655
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 2: air and now he's coming off a pretty horrific broken.

656
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: Ankle that's.

657
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 2: Fair this is all checking, out and it's not video

658
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: game football where he's, like, well he's out six, weeks

659
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:46,799
Speaker 2: then he's.

660
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 1: Back he's.

661
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 2: GREAT i think there are going to be situations where

662
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 2: he's not his full athletic. Self Eric williams is probably

663
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: the most underrated running back in this. CONFERENCE i like

664
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 2: them a lot on, defense although they gave up some

665
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 2: passing yardage last. Year so if they can get to the,

666
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:07,160
Speaker 2: quarterback which they should be able to do at like

667
00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,040
Speaker 2: a you, Know montes, Sweat Jeffrey simmons really strong on

668
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 2: the defensive, line the safeties are pretty. Good corner will

669
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:18,160
Speaker 2: see and then it's ALSO tbd because we're going From

670
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 2: Todd grantham To Bob, shoop which boy have they been

671
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: a lot of places.

672
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 1: Recently so they're going.

673
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 2: To three four to four to. Three so there is,

674
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 2: novelty both in good and bad ways to this defense

675
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 2: and this. OFFENSE i, imagine much Like Penn state didn't

676
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: get going immediately With joe, moorehead there is going to

677
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 2: be a click. MOMENT i hope, it's you, know the

678
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 2: first play of the first, game but it takes some, time, communication, rhythm.

679
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 2: Familiarity they do start out with What steven F. Austin

680
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 2: it's a little bit. Tricky they go To Kansas. State

681
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 2: there could be some. Silencing it just it's going to

682
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 2: be a tricky. GAME i think they're better Than Kansas,

683
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 2: state But kansastate it's a ranked. Team the schedule that's such.

684

748
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,160
Speaker 1: be of the mindset that he's constantly coaching for his.

749
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: JOB i know that they remove the interim, tag but

750
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 1: there is a chance that he's just like a bridge

751
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 1: coach to make it through this rough patch and then

752
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 1: they're going to go. Elsewhere so he's got something to.

753
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: Prove he's an Old miss. Guy they can't go to a.

00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: probably that.

771
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 1: One come and get your. Points they're AT. Lsu definitely

772
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 1: not a.

773
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: Rivalry definitely not a rivalry a week before LSU's schedule goes.

774
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 2: Crazy oh miss schedule is not that bad in terms

775
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: of back to back to. Backs they have the egg

776
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: ball at. Home they will and we've talked about this

777
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 2: for a couple of years. Now they could be one

778
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 2: Of america's most fun half. Teams and on that, note

779
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: they'll go six and.

780
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: Six six and. Six, yeah, yeah that feels about, right

781
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: feels about.

782
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 2: It there's not a lot of Depth and If jordan

783
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 2: Tom who goes, down It's matt Coral, corral WHO i

784
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: also committed to a bunch of. Schools like so many

785
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:37,839
Speaker 2: of our favorite quarterbacks around the. Country so, YEAH i

786
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 2: think The philongo offense will be, fun but they feel

787
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 2: like one of those teams that as much as they

788
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 2: bring to the, table they also take.

789
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:50,719
Speaker 1: Off let's go To. Arkansas hell, YEAH i wanted to

790
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: start with The. Hogs new Coach Chad morris comes over FROM.

791
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: Smu he's got seventeen guys back from a year. Ago

792
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: the schedule is rangely, good strangely, good at least in

793
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: terms of sec road, tilts because in terms of true road,

794
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 1: games they Got Auburn september twenty, second and then they're

795
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: not on the road again at all Until november seventeenth

796
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: At Mississippi state and then the following week there At.

797
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,479
Speaker 2: Missouri but, yeah they do have a really like crazy long.

798
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 1: Stretch it's really. Strange there is a game In arlington

799
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: AGAINST a AND m at the end Of, september, right

800
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 1: and there's also a game Against Ole miss In Little

801
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: rock In, october which is like the seventieth anniversary of the.

802
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: STADIUM i can't remember, that.

803
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: Right but say they'll play In Little rock.

804
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: Sometimes, yeah so they're not like at home per se every,

805
00:43:41,760 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 1: game but in terms of true road, games it's slim

806
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: pickens out there and it is strangely. Workable on, OFFENSE

807
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 1: i got a lot, back AND i Think Chad morris

808
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 1: is going to have him played. Hard it will be

809
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,320
Speaker 1: more wide open than it has been Under Brett, bilima

810
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: because that's just Who Chad. Morris, YEAH i mean They

811
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: arkansas did throw it a ton last. Year they, did,

812
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 1: absolutely but this is going to, BE i, think a

813
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 1: totally different, scheme more wide. Open if you're An arkansas,

814
00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:09,720
Speaker 1: fan if you're AN sec fan or just a college football,

815
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 1: fan you should care about that Because Chad morris has

816
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: coached really fun, offenses so there's something for. You and then,

817
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: DEFENSIVELY i don't know exactly what we're going to, get

818
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: but there is a lot, back including the top four

819
00:44:24,080 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: tacklers from twenty. Seventeen and then they also bring In

820
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: John chavis to get the house In, hooder WHICH i

821
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: feel like is Something i've said at least fifteen times

822
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:34,800
Speaker 1: over the last ten. Years, hey bringing In John chavis

823
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: to put something in, Order but that to me would

824
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: seemingly indicate some level of improvement on that, defense and

825
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: that's much needed For arkansas because defensively they've been a.

826
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 2: Mess and that begs the question are you pumped about

827
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 2: twenty Eighteen John? Chavis maybe could be maybe if like you,

828
00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 2: know who ties Dating Pam, Anderson like that's that's the,

829
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:05,400
Speaker 2: question that's the. Problem hopefully maybe kind Of, YEAH i

830
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 2: could see it being. Interesting arkansas starts out with a

831
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 2: tricky ish non conference. Schedule they go To Colorado state

832
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 2: in that new stadium that kJ Carta Samuel's life, boom

833
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 2: and they Host Mason Fine Seth latrell Tricky North texas.

834
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: Team arkansas should win at least that second game Against North, texas.

835
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: But not a.

836
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: Walkover and you're, right the strangely nice stretch where they

837
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 2: don't have true road games and what is that like

838
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 2: Late september until Early november they really figured it all. Out,

839
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 2: Yeah my big questions aside from twenty Eighteen John chavison

840
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,720
Speaker 2: comparing him to a centerfold for whatever, REASON i regretted.

841
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: It immediately AFTER i did.

842
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 2: It Cole kelly fun to look, at but is he

843
00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,479
Speaker 2: actually good.

844
00:45:59,400 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 1: At throwing the?

845
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: Ball we don't know that part of, it right because

846
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 2: he's six four hundred and.

847
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 1: He is a. Tank what he's? Like what is he six'

848
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 1: eight like two? SIXTY five i think he might only be,

849
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 1: sixty seven but we can go with six' eight if. You,

850
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: want oh he is this year Is.

851
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: Brock osweiler he tite will be noted more than. Anybody

852
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 2: else he's Competing Against. Ty Story jared cornelius is back.

853
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 2: And healthy they have a couple of big losses on.

854
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 2: The Line frank ragnow was excellent last Year And all

855
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 2: american and. He's Gone but i'm strangely drawn To this. Arkansas,

856
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 2: TEAM yeah i know what. It is they don't have

857
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: a RUNNING back. I love they've got a couple receivers

858
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 2: who are. PRETTY good i think they could be ANOTHER

859
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 2: wild cardi. Type team but with what they bring back

860
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:54,239
Speaker 2: on defense and what they don't have, On defense and

861
00:46:54,280 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: EVEN though i know there's, some fun little trappiness to,

862
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 2: their schedule They have auburn a Week, AFTER, auburn lsu

863
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,279

864
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 2: and seven for the.

865
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:06,839

00:47:13,160 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: has a level of pluckiness to them where they're gonna

869
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 1: they're gonna. Beat somebody. Mm hmm the team they're gonna BEAT,

873
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago when they were just magically

874
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:35,640

Speaker 1: here MOMENTARILY but i agree with you On. ON arkansas

879
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,359

Speaker 1: like five and seven probably where some more of those

881
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,080

Speaker 2: Is, Lowell okay lowell Narsis future.

960
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,279
Speaker 1: Samford quarterback my hot take is that LSU's going six

961
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: and Six, and okay they're going to Lose, to Miami,

962
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: to Auburn, to Florida, To, georgia tobama and Then. To

963
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: arkansas those are your. Six losses oh that's my. Hot, TAKE.

964
00:52:56,239 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 2: Yeah I mean lsu does Lose to arkansas sometimes every.

965
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 2: So often they're Just. Gonna arkansas that's just how the.

966
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 2: UNIVERSE works, i think what do, you say six? And

967
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:08,399
Speaker 2: six six? AND six i think they can go seven.

968
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 2: AND five i think if we can find a way

969
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 2: to Dress ole miss offensive PLAYERS in, lsu uniforms AND

970
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 2: dress lsu defensive players And ole miss uniforms and just

971
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 2: figure out, a timeshare that's ideal. FOR everybody i am

972
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 2: NOT particularly i know that the offensive line is back

973
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: in a lot healthier than they were. LAST year i

974
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 2: really really like the Audition Of. JONATHAN giles i thought

975
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:35,800
Speaker 2: he had some extraordinary Moments For, texas tech so he

976
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:39,439
Speaker 2: comes in as a transfer. Up front, on defense there's

977
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:43,360
Speaker 2: a ton to like about this defensive line and the

978
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,640
Speaker 2: fact that this is now what year Three Under, dave

979
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,919
Speaker 2: randa so more and more. Installation there their linebacking course

980
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,359
Speaker 2: should be, very good their secondary should be very.

981
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:57,399
Speaker 1: VERY good i.

982
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: When looking at, their, SCHEDULE though i think there is

983
00:53:58,560 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 2: something to what.

984
00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: You're saying.

985
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 2: We have no Idea What joe burrow is going to

986
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 2: look like throwing Into the, miami defense Away From, baton

987
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 2: rouge Into the, auburn defense Into the, florida defense in,

988
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 2: the swamp Into the, georgia defense Into the. Bama defense

989
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 2: we know what he'll look like throwing Into the, arkansas

990
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: Defense because i've seen everybody and what they look like Throwing.

991
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 2: INTO texas A and m might have a. Pretty scale they're.

992
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 2: Finally experienced we'll get to them next up front and

993
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 2: everywhere on. That defense so What If joe burrow is

994
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,480
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback like he, Has been what If he's

995
00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: Joe Dirt.

996
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:40,959
Speaker 1: Joey Burr's so.

997
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:46,319
Speaker 2: I'm more seven, and five eight and four because of,

998
00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 2: line playing because of, that defense but not a confident version.

999
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 2: Of that i'm hedging. Pretty, significantly yeah immediate losses to Me,

1000
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:01,799
Speaker 2: Are Auburn. Georgia obama Definitely that i'm writing off three.

1001
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: Games immediately so THAT'S where i stand. Right now but

1002
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 2: there's a lot to like on. That defense there's a.

1003
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 2: Whole bunch you double duded it for. A.

1004
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 1: Reason yeah they're very good. On defense they have some

1005
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 1: really elite caliber players, on defense and that's always fun.

1006
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: To watch that will keep them in games that, will

1007
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: definitely most assuredly make my six and six prediction look

1008
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 1: silly at some point when they go nine.

1009
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 2: To, Three OKAY and I just i reminded myself by

1010
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:32,160
Speaker 2: saying dude but not actually issuing Adode Alert naj Harris.

1011
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 2: FROM alabama I mean i fawned over. Him, already yeah

1012
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 2: it's it's. Very boring and SO then i will double

1017
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:00,520

1033
00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,440

1034
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: article written Somewhere That jimbo fisher feels pretty good about

1035
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: the state of both of. His lines i'd like, to.

00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 1: An idiot, Close, enough, okay continue the defense is going

1039
00:57:15,760 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: to get Better Because mike elko has a track record

Speaker 1: wake really good job At A Notre dame Bowling. Green

1042
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: shure now he inherits a defense that is eight. Guys

1043
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 1: back that gives him a really good. Starting point so

1044
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna better on. Defense too. M h those are

1045
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: two really good reasons to feel good to care About

1046
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: What jimbo fisher can DO at A.

1047
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: And M pam anderson Out AS texas A and m.

1048
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 2: Defensive coordinator that, Is.

1049
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: RIGHT okay i do worry about the talent on, Offense,

1050
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 1: though okay especially against the schedule that's really just. Complete

1051
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: murder listen. To this they Play both Clemson, and bama And,

1052
00:57:54,440 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: AT bama i, should say in the first month of,

1053
00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: the season within like, Two weeks they've got a Game At,

1054
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: south carolina which is, no Picnic At, mississippi state which

1055
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: are pretty, high on and Then. At auburn you could

1056
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: really make a case those are five guaranteed losses. RIGHT There, I,

1057
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: Clemson Bama, South, CAROLINA. Auburn, LSU yeah i wouldn't say,

1058
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: guaranteed now tough though it is murder. It, Is yes

1059
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 1: i'm not.

1060
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:35,200
Speaker 2: As concerned I've Seen trevion williams succeed on a pretty,

1061
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 2: significant level albeit it was now two. Years Ago Losing

1062
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 2: christian kirk is a. Big deal they've, recruited really really well,

1063
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 2: at RECEIVER so i just assume at a certain point

1064
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 2: this passing game be It with Kellen mond Er. NICK

1065
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 2: starkle I Assume nick starkle is probably better Suited for,

1066
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 2: jimbo's offense but. WE'LL see i assume receivers are going

1067
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 2: to step up because they've recruited, too well not to

1068
00:59:01,880 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 2: whoever's in at quarterback should have time behind. This line

1069
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 2: i'm not a big believer in them early That that

1070
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: clemson game feels like a, write off but it's what

1071
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: It's At, kyle, Field. Right yep it's a difficult place.

1072
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 2: To play this is an. Experienced defense they had a

1073
00:59:21,800 --> 00:59:24,320

1078
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:44,080

1079
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 2: these past couple.

1080
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: OF years i would agree.

1081
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 2: WITH that i think we'd always felt like we Were

1082
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 2: DISCUSSING texas A, and, m, like man they're all freshmen, out,

1083
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 2: there yeah and now they're all juniors.

1084
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: And seniors they were always very, Combustible, too yeah, you

1085
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 1: know and mister Six. AND oh i don't know if

1086
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: it was the Way that kevin someone ran the team

1087
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 1: or perhaps we're a bit shaded in our opinions After

1088
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: The johnny, manzel era which was certainly a little, Bit

1089
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 1: controversial but there always felt like there was a combustible

1090
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:18,280
Speaker 1: nature to what was being Built In. College STATION and

1091
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: i think what we're going to get Now With jimbo

1092
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: fisher is really an evening out. Of that they're going

1093
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: to be much much better just as a baseline unit

1094
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: than we've seen over the course of the last. Three

1095
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: years so that's good news moving FORWARD for A. And

1096
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: m they're not going to get Rid Of jimbo fisher.

1097
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:39,320

1099
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,560
