  Beamer 25. Big punt last week to get the

  Non conference games. But conference games are what's
• 2:22
  important. And they have, they're peaking
• 2:24
  at the right time. They peaked.
• 2:26
  Tonight, defensively, that is sack #8.
• 2:32
  I think they're going to be in first place alone after this
• 2:34
  week. And welcome back to the Boundary

  Corner Podcast, along with who I think are my Co host, Brian

• 3:02
  sacks. Boys are y'all in the spirit for
• 3:03
  tomorrow night or what? Let's get it, man.
• 3:07
  Oh, yeah. We ready.
• 3:09
  We ready to get it, man. Ready to go.
• 3:11
  I actually got a basketball game to go to so I won't be doing no
• 3:14
  trick or treating. My son's got a game at 7:00, so
• 3:18
  we'll be at the. We'll be at the school.
• 3:19
  You know what I got? I got the, I got the wood ready.
• 3:23
  I'm going to have a fire going. We got the we got some friends
• 3:26
  coming over. It's going to be a nice little
• 3:28
  night. Kids are going to go out and
• 3:31
  roll about 8 or 9 deep through the neighborhood.
• 3:35
  There you go. There you go.
• 3:37
  Similar thing over here. We're getting up, doing a big
• 3:40
  dinner, maybe in the cul-de-sac Brown, probably in my garage
• 3:45
  because it's going to be cold here tomorrow night, you know.
• 3:50
  Good evening, Lavar. How you doing tonight?
• 3:53
  He likes to mask boys, but same. And then going around the
• 3:58
  neighborhood getting my kids a bunch of candy that they don't
• 4:01
  have any business eating. So I'm going to steal it all.
• 4:05
  But y'all is having fun tonight. It is.
• 4:09
  This is going to be a fun show tonight because not only is it
• 4:14
  the day before Halloween, we are a day early, but between
• 4:17
  basketball, kids, trick or treating a bunch of other stuff,
• 4:20
  we had to come out. Because we couldn't get up
• 4:22
  together Wednesday, Shelton not with us on the night.
• 4:24
  He is on the injured reserve this week a little under the
• 4:28
  weather. Hope we get hope you get better
• 4:29
  out there, Shelton. But boys, we got to talk about
• 4:34
  tell the truth Tuesday about the Syracuse game.
• 4:36
  We got to know the enemy in Louisville and we got a couple
• 4:39
  news as things we got to share. One that broke.
• 4:42
  Not broke today, but it was announced today.
• 4:45
  LeBron, raise your mask, Sir. Because it ain't no way, Ain't
• 4:54
  no way. It's a good question.
• 4:57
  Is it going to be a trick or treat?
• 4:58
  We don't know. You will.
• 4:59
  Find out what you think. Brian, ain't no way you could go
• 5:03
  more than 15 minutes with that mask on without sweating like 6
• 5:07
  pounds. You know what?
• 5:08
  I I would have given him a run. We gave him a run.
• 5:11
  We'll have to see what happens, man.
• 5:12
  There we go, A lot of people joining us tonight.
• 5:14
  We appreciate all the love. But before we get in to tell the
• 5:18
  truth Tuesday on a Monday, let's talk about a couple music notes.
• 5:21
  Let's talk about basketball first, because a big thing broke
• 5:24
  since we last came with Y'all last Sunday, and that was Rodney
• 5:28
  Rice stepping away from the basketball program.
• 5:30
  Rodney Rice, one of the highest rated recruits ever in his games
• 5:34
  last year to look solid at times, was expected to take a
• 5:37
  big step. I know we're in the middle of
• 5:40
  football season. Basketball's not too far away,
• 5:42
  but say what you say. Regardless, it's a big loss for
• 5:46
  the team. Yeah, definitely, definitely a
• 5:48
  big loss, man. I mean I guess on the, I don't
• 5:52
  want to say on the positive side of it, he never we we never got
• 5:57
  to see what all he could do. So it's not like we had an
• 6:01
  opportunity to build a team around him.
• 6:05
  So sometimes you can't really miss what you never had.
• 6:09
  But on the other hand, it's like kid has so much potential.
• 6:13
  And we feel like he was going to be such a big part of the team.
• 6:17
  It's like, yeah, it's a it's a it's horrible and it's right
• 6:21
  before the season starts. So yeah, and it it's a guy that
• 6:25
  we saw in parts of the season last year, all right.
• 6:29
  So he can shoot the three but he can also get to the get to the
• 6:32
  rack too and we haven't really seen that or had that in a
• 6:35
  little bit. So really since Boots was here.
• 6:40
  So having a player like that, that that has that piece to
• 6:43
  their game I think would have been important even if from a
• 6:47
  consistency standpoint it sounds like MJ has kind of stepped up
• 6:50
  and and and and taking on a little bit more of a a
• 6:54
  leadership role. And that's why there was some
• 6:56
  looks like some questions there about who the starter was going
• 6:58
  to be at that spot. Well, it it it's also
• 7:01
  interesting the guy that recruited him is at Maryland
• 7:04
  now. As far as him stepping away, I'm
• 7:07
  he screwed himself this year. There is no portal.
• 7:10
  The portal for basketball is not until May, so he he can go and
• 7:14
  roll somewhere else. He cannot be on Team A-Team or
• 7:18
  anything like that. So he's effectively taking a
• 7:22
  year off of basketball. And for a guy who was banged
• 7:24
  last year and didn't get to play a lot, it's going to be
• 7:27
  interesting to see where he lands.
• 7:29
  Brian, what you said is what I believe is the biggest part.
• 7:32
  We know he could take it off the dribble.
• 7:34
  And how many times last y'all last year y'all we were sitting
• 7:37
  there? And we were always just kind of
• 7:39
  screaming. We just need somebody to just we
• 7:42
  we need to break this three minute spell of not scoring and
• 7:46
  somebody just take one to the hoop, get a layup, get a foul
• 7:50
  something. And he was going to be that guy.
• 7:53
  And you know, unfortunately it is what it is.
• 7:56
  We move forward. It's going to be interesting to
• 7:58
  see how that season goes. All right, next one.
• 8:03
  And this was something that was announced a couple weeks ago,
• 8:06
  revealed tonight on ACC Network Six to seven.
• 8:09
  I was trying to watch it, but we were eating dinner.
• 8:12
  Shout out David Cunningham. That man is a lifesaver for all
• 8:16
  the tweets he puts out. But the ACC schedule, because of
• 8:20
  the additions of Stanford Cal and SMU effectively had changed.
• 8:26
  And I think we as Hokie fans, when we started looking at it,
• 8:29
  boys, it did not change for the better.
• 8:33
  I mean what we wanted. I feel like we got as fans.
• 8:38
  I mean whenever we changed up, we took some, took a rivalry
• 8:43
  rivalry away that I think everybody was looking forward
• 8:47
  to. You know, you can say what you
• 8:48
  want, but anytime Virginia taking Miami plays, I think it's
• 8:51
  a we might not win all of them, but it's always a good time and
• 8:56
  that's been a long standing rivalry and when they took it
• 8:58
  away. I think a lot of people were,
• 9:00
  you know, a little upset about that.
• 9:02
  So when you look on the schedule and you see them back on there
• 9:05
  and they say, hey, this is going to be one of your permanent
• 9:08
  opponents, like it just makes for good football.
• 9:10
  So hell, we if you want to be the best, you got to go beat the
• 9:16
  good team. So don't matter who's on that
• 9:18
  schedule, good team, bad team, whatever kind of season they're
• 9:21
  having, we just got to go win because if we keep building on
• 9:24
  what we got, we'll be a good team.
• 9:25
  Exactly. And I mean, you love getting
• 9:28
  Miami back, You love not seeing BC on the schedule every year.
• 9:34
  Thank God that's a that's a 1-2 punch that you that you're happy
• 9:37
  to see. You only have to travel to the
• 9:39
  Carrier Dome once every five years, yeah?
• 9:43
  And the truth about that So it doesn't get much better than
• 9:48
  that. It doesn't and it's important if
• 9:50
  you take a look because something I was looking at is
• 9:53
  not everybody got the same amount of rivalry games.
• 9:57
  Some got 3, some got 2, some got one, some got none.
• 10:00
  But I think if you start looking at it is the focus is the games
• 10:03
  that can draw, right? Yeah.
• 10:06
  Miami, Virginia Tech, Wherever it is, it normally draws,
• 10:09
  whether it's Thursday night and a 3:30 late night game, it
• 10:13
  draws. FSU is playing Miami, FSU is
• 10:16
  playing Clemson. That's going draw.
• 10:19
  If you kind of look at that, that's the way they've kind of
• 10:21
  set it up. But they've also made sure that
• 10:23
  certain corridors are together. The far NE is together.
• 10:27
  The Western teams are together, that makes sense, but they kept
• 10:30
  it to 8 out. I think Brian, you were probably
• 10:33
  more disappointed than me than us.
• 10:35
  I wanted to go to 9. You were banging the table for
• 10:38
  9, which would make more sense, but you know we're staying at
• 10:42
  eight games, so is what it is there.
• 10:46
  Yeah, shout out Sheldon saying we have to have even number of
• 10:49
  teams in the conference to move to 9.
• 10:52
  So we're we're still one one edition short here of of being
• 10:56
  able to put 9 games on the table for the ACC slate.
• 11:00
  All righty Well let's take a look we So as we got the
• 11:03
  schedule up here again, this is coming.
• 11:05
  I think we I pulled this from David Cunningham's account.
• 11:08
  Shout out David guy's been on with us numerous times.
• 11:12
  Look at some of the intriguing home games.
• 11:14
  First of all, I told you all today, I'm like they taking
• 11:16
  Clemson from us. They going to put Clemson and
• 11:19
  give us like SMU at home? Right.
• 11:21
  We did not lose Clemson next year and I think that's really
• 11:25
  big for the fan base because that's one of those, regardless
• 11:30
  whether what Clemson is their form for this year, if they're
• 11:33
  undefeated when they come to Lane next year, that is going to
• 11:36
  be a prime game. Yeah.
• 11:39
  What else intrigues Y'all as Y'all, take a look at this of
• 11:41
  the schedule for roughly the next seven years.
• 11:45
  Well, I don't know, a little bit of what I don't want to say.
• 11:48
  Well, y'all fucking made me mad. Kind of what me and you talked
• 11:52
  about Curtis, like Florida State, us having to play them
• 11:55
  again and go to their house before they come to our house
• 11:58
  and then we don't, they don't come to Lane until 2028.
• 12:01
  Like that's a little bit of a headache to me.
• 12:04
  Like I don't like that part of it.
• 12:06
  But you know, I don't know, man, that's intriguing to me that the
• 12:09
  Stanford game next year in a way, you know, it's intriguing
• 12:13
  to me. Even the whole schedule for next
• 12:14
  year seems very, very. Pokey Ish, Like, I don't know.
• 12:21
  I'm just looking at what we have and I know we don't know who's
• 12:24
  coming back and things like that.
• 12:26
  But you don't look at that and just go Oh well, there's nobody
• 12:29
  on there that we're going to want to go see play.
• 12:32
  You know, that's some that's some decent home games and then
• 12:35
  we got some, you know, away games that that we've brought
• 12:39
  back that make you happy playing Miami away.
• 12:42
  You know, playing Duke, Duke's playing good ball.
• 12:44
  Then you got Stanford on there, even though they're not playing
• 12:47
  good ball this year. But.
• 12:49
  They're going to be new to the ACC, Then you know we got queues
• 12:51
  on them, which he'll fuck the carrier down, but yes.
• 12:55
  All of that stuff, yes. All of that stuff makes you
• 12:57
  happy, though you know to just to just to have A at least looks
• 13:01
  like a competent schedule. So.
• 13:04
  Brian, what intrigues you on the schedule, the entire 2028
• 13:10
  conference slate looks? That's.
• 13:13
  That's a pretty, I mean, I mean, seriously.
• 13:16
  I mean Florida State at home, Louisville at home, Go to EU up
• 13:20
  at Pitt over to Stanford. Let's go to Napa for a weekend.
• 13:23
  Let's let's get introduced properly to to SMU coming to
• 13:26
  Lane. So get them at a nice little ACC
• 13:30
  introduction in the Lane Stadium introduction.
• 13:32
  So I think that's going to be an interesting year for us.
• 13:35
  I think if you look at 2027, you get, you get Miami at home, you
• 13:41
  get Clemson. We'll see if Clemson will still
• 13:44
  be Clemson in 2027, the way things are going for them, but
• 13:48
  that's neither here or there at this point.
• 13:50
  Then you flipped on the other side, you got Louisville UNCSMUI
• 13:54
  think that 2728, that's an interesting slate back-to-back
• 13:58
  years there. I I like this a lot better than
• 14:02
  what we've seen, what we thought we were going to see for the
• 14:06
  next three to five years. So the fact that Miami's back on
• 14:09
  there, we get finally get UVA at home again next year, Clemson
• 14:14
  staying on the schedule for 2024.
• 14:17
  We get a team like Georgia Tech that you know could be more of a
• 14:22
  high mid tier ACC team this time next year if things keep
• 14:27
  trending the way they're training for them right now.
• 14:29
  You better not be ranked when you play Georgia Tech.
• 14:31
  No, don't. No, you're going to lose they.
• 14:33
  Beating the shit out of people when they ranked.
• 14:36
  I don't know what it is. And then you get and you got
• 14:38
  Duke on there. We'll see if Duke still has Elko
• 14:41
  in house, but yeah, that that could be a pretty intriguing
• 14:46
  well away game next year. That's what I might make my way
• 14:49
  down to. Well, you know the ones like,
• 14:51
  and that's what I say like, I like, like the schedule.
• 14:55
  Next year's a a solid schedule, some good away games, some good
• 14:58
  home games. I look at 2027, y'all mentioned
• 15:02
  it already. 2027 is like a great year.
• 15:07
  Miami and Clemson at home, Stanford at home, and then we
• 15:11
  were talking about right before we came on.
• 15:13
  Road travel for 2027 is unbelievable in 2025 too.
• 15:18
  So for us here in Virginia, it's going to be Virginia and
• 15:23
  Carolina. That's day trips.
• 15:24
  You can get up 6:00 in the morning and drive Chapel Hill.
• 15:27
  You can drive UVA. Louisville is a destination.
• 15:30
  I think Tally was trying to go there this year.
• 15:31
  He's not going to be able to make it next week and then go to
• 15:35
  Fort Worth. Look at 2025.
• 15:38
  Florida State, Georgia Tech tally.
• 15:40
  You could legitimately go to two away games.
• 15:43
  Oh yeah, yeah. Georgia Tech's easy for me to
• 15:45
  get to, easy for, you know, Bobby Dodd Stadium is easy to
• 15:48
  get to. 3 hours for me. In Florida State, what we looked
• 15:51
  at six hours I think. It's about 6 hours, yeah.
• 15:53
  Not a bad drive. That's the same as me coming to
• 15:56
  Blacksburg, really. There you go.
• 15:57
  So go to the dope that year and then you take a look again 2
• 16:00
  local games where it's driving distance for the fan base to go
• 16:03
  to. So.
• 16:05
  I mean, overall, I think this is better than what we saw when it
• 16:10
  was changed a couple years ago or last year.
• 16:14
  It was a lot better. Again, the the interest in
• 16:18
  strips will be out West. Also, the interest trip and a
• 16:21
  little thing I'm a little scared of is them screwing us on travel
• 16:25
  with trips to Miami and trips way out.
• 16:27
  W Brown looked it up. 2024 We have the third farthest travel
• 16:34
  schedule. In the ACC because we're going
• 16:37
  cross country and we're going to the bottom of the country.
• 16:40
  Right. So, so we got all that out.
• 16:43
  I look forward to seeing it. I look forward to home in these
• 16:45
  home games. I mean, I I keep looking at that
• 16:47
  Clemson game and I feel like like that might be the one to go
• 16:51
  to, that might be the one to to drop the coin on and go to next
• 16:55
  year if it's the right time. Right.
• 16:58
  If it's the right. Time got to make it the right
• 17:00
  time. Got to make it the right time.
• 17:02
  And I meant like if they put that thing up way too late in
• 17:05
  the season or way too. Early as I.
• 17:07
  Am I want Clemson 20. We all know what to do with
• 17:13
  ourselves. Last time we went in Chestnut
• 17:14
  Hill will be this year and it's going to be like five years.
• 17:17
  It's the best thing. That's our buddy Robbie joining
• 17:19
  us tonight. Season's over, Robbie.
• 17:22
  Texted us. We will see a lot more Robbie.
• 17:24
  He got Starlink Internet now, and the season's over.
• 17:27
  Down in North Carolina. My God, I hate that your
• 17:30
  season's over. I'm glad you got better,
• 17:31
  Internet. Good job when you trade the Just
• 17:36
  like. All right, well, season's over,
• 17:37
  but at least I got some shit to watch now.
• 17:39
  Well, the whole thing is Jim, I'll say about is this the over
• 17:42
  under to 2030 unless somebody finds a way out, it will be now
• 17:46
  2030 could be the year where things start breaking because
• 17:49
  it's been close enough to where it's saying, OK, we're leaving
• 17:51
  in a couple years. We can absorb the 100, we can
• 17:54
  absorb the hundred 200 million dollars.
• 17:56
  The the amount that they have to the swallow gets a little bit
• 17:58
  smaller the clothes. Might be smaller.
• 18:00
  Much, much smaller. All righty Well, we have done
• 18:04
  with that also but now it's time to tell the truth Monday or tell
• 18:09
  the truth Tuesday on a Monday edition.
• 18:10
  So y'all know what we do here. If you join us every week and if
• 18:13
  you don't if your first time. We talk about what went well, we
• 18:17
  talk about what went bad. Anything we happen that we're
• 18:22
  not prepared for and. Effectively, what can we do
• 18:27
  better going forward? And boys, y'all take your
• 18:30
  poison. We got a bunch of stuff here.
• 18:32
  What went well? You talk about it, it probably
• 18:35
  went well on Thursday because we beat them 3810.
• 18:38
  It could have been 50. Yeah, easy, easy.
• 18:41
  Could have been 50. What?
• 18:43
  What? What?
• 18:44
  What? Caught your eye, Bron?
• 18:48
  Zero. That's the number of fucking
• 18:52
  yards that Syracuse rushed for in that game, man.
• 18:56
  We should have pulled that one. We should have pulled that one
• 18:58
  from the locker. Room.
• 19:00
  Yeah, that that was when I seen that's that that's kind of
• 19:04
  that's kind of crazy the rush for 0 yards, you know you we
• 19:09
  have been looking at a 39 yard rush or you know 50 yards, zero.
• 19:16
  I mean that's a big deal man. Hold A-Team to 0 yards rush.
• 19:22
  Especially, you know, a team whose quarterback essentially
• 19:27
  can kill people on the ground. Did they run first quarterback?
• 19:31
  Yeah, I think he had like 175 yards, 147 yards against maybe
• 19:36
  Purdue or something this year, but he did.
• 19:38
  That's crazy. Yeah, 0 rushing yards.
• 19:41
  They had the longest run. We gave up all night was 14 and
• 19:44
  but I I saw that running in today, that run was very well
• 19:48
  fitted. Allen just made some good moves
• 19:50
  and they had some good blocks. We didn't spring any leaks.
• 19:53
  Y'all. And you know, once we got the
• 19:56
  lead, what else went well? How about the pass rush and
• 20:00
  living in the backfield? The reason we played that from
• 20:04
  the ACC Network, literally. It was the first play of the
• 20:08
  game set. The tone.
• 20:11
  Right in the face 8 sacks, four more tackles for loss, 12 total
• 20:17
  tackles for loss. APR has to.
• 20:20
  You know the best part? And I think this made me feel
• 20:22
  good. Y'all know who accounted for for
• 20:25
  the for all the sacks, the defensive line.
• 20:28
  D line, D line's playing good and everybody was doing their
• 20:32
  job. You know if you look at the, if
• 20:36
  you look at the D line, yeah you got some they're having a key on
• 20:41
  APR now you know. But you got other people winning
• 20:45
  their one-on-one battles and that, like when you have a
• 20:49
  running quarterback, you can't just rush it, you know, there's
• 20:52
  got to be lanes, you got to collapse that pocket.
• 20:55
  And a lot of times it was just essentially whose hand got to
• 20:59
  him first. That pocket just kept
• 21:01
  collapsing, getting smaller and smaller till it's on top of you.
• 21:04
  So everybody on that D line look like they, you know, at least in
• 21:09
  that game we got a still got a long season ahead.
• 21:11
  But at least in that game everybody took, took on the
• 21:14
  challenge and said hey, we're not going to let them beat us
• 21:16
  this way. And you know, once that
• 21:19
  happened, it was just you. You seen what happened.
• 21:23
  In in the end, 0 rushing yards. The ends were flying up the
• 21:26
  field, but also the the D tackles were pushing the pocket,
• 21:31
  keeping those lanes tight. So you couldn't.
• 21:33
  Schrader couldn't step up, he couldn't escape outside.
• 21:36
  Everybody was where they needed to be and everybody was coming
• 21:39
  full force at that quarterback. And I mean that like like Curtis
• 21:44
  said, we had eight sacks in that game.
• 21:46
  Another 4 tackles for loss. I mean when you when you can
• 21:48
  penetrate into the backfield like that and create problems
• 21:52
  for the quarterback consistently, everything else
• 21:54
  can fall apart. Especially when you're doing a
• 21:56
  good job in the running game and not not letting them run for you
• 22:01
  know, big gains where they could keep keep the sticks moving and
• 22:03
  stay ahead of the sticks where where they can get some better,
• 22:06
  you know quicker opportunities in the passing game.
• 22:08
  So he had to stand in the pocket and throw down field and we were
• 22:11
  able to get home. Absolutely.
• 22:13
  And shout out we mentioned APR, I'm going to shout out everybody
• 22:16
  that got a sack or a credited first sack.
• 22:19
  Mario Kendricks, Keyshawn Burgos, Norell Pollard Cole
• 22:22
  Nelson, Josh Fuga, James Jeanette, CJ McCray, Elijah
• 22:26
  Clock and Keyshawn Burgos. That's a lot.
• 22:30
  That's and that's the other piece, right?
• 22:32
  And I know I want to get off this, but that's the other piece
• 22:35
  Telly, you mentioned other guys are feeding.
• 22:37
  And it wasn't just one guy, it was almost the whole.
• 22:41
  You're next. Go eat him.
• 22:43
  You're next. Go get him.
• 22:44
  And I mean, you could have given Kianta Jenkins credit for the
• 22:46
  Pollard sack because, I mean he he came off the edge hard, made
• 22:50
  traders step right up to where they were, the deep tackles were
• 22:52
  collapsed in the pocket and Pollard was right there to bring
• 22:56
  him down. Yeah, that's the way it goes.
• 22:58
  Well, a couple things that our buddy Robbie said.
• 23:01
  He said, Where'd you get that concept from?
• 23:03
  Y'all put that up Robbie, I know you just getting in here every
• 23:07
  week man. They've been giving you credit.
• 23:09
  We definitely appreciate your. We definitely appreciate your
• 23:14
  your anything that you give us here at BCP and the the
• 23:17
  knowledge that you have. Always a pleasure to talk to you
• 23:20
  and then put that next one up too.
• 23:22
  Curtis the next? Step.
• 23:23
  You lead it off, buddy. You lead it off.
• 23:25
  Run game. Hey, we talking about them not
• 23:28
  rushing. Let's talk about us rushing.
• 23:30
  That 1-2 punch looked good. You had, you know, drones did
• 23:36
  what he what he needed to do. Just him being in the game helps
• 23:39
  the run game. But he was able to break some
• 23:41
  runs and we got to give a shout out to Toot man.
• 23:44
  It's like this kid just keeps getting stronger and stronger as
• 23:47
  the season goes on. It's like he was hitting seven
• 23:52
  yard runs and it looked like everybody was me watching on TV
• 23:57
  like I'm standing up. It's hard to get excited about a
• 24:00
  7 yard run, but he's breaking tackles.
• 24:03
  He's, you know one one step and he's gone.
• 24:07
  Like it was great to see just him, what he's.
• 24:10
  I know when he came here he was good, but just to keep watching
• 24:14
  him getting better and better against ACC talent.
• 24:17
  Looks like the line is is growing with him.
• 24:21
  So they're at least giving him a little bit of space.
• 24:24
  And then also what I like to see is Thomas coming in behind him.
• 24:28
  Looks like he's learning from him because I don't know if he
• 24:31
  was injured or I don't know what the deal was, but he looks
• 24:34
  different running the ball in these last couple of games than
• 24:38
  he has at the beginning of the season.
• 24:41
  He's not going down with one hit.
• 24:43
  He's finding holes. He's getting more patient.
• 24:46
  It was a one play, I can't remember exactly you know what
• 24:49
  kind of player was, but it was kind of a maybe a stretch play
• 24:52
  or something. And he waited for his like he
• 24:56
  waited on this lineman to flush all the all the defense out and
• 25:00
  he just put his foot in the ground and stepped up field.
• 25:02
  So to watch him excel or or learn from from Tooting and get
• 25:07
  better every week has been good too, because we need both of
• 25:09
  those guys to win these next games.
• 25:15
  Yeah, the the run game was very impressive to me.
• 25:20
  I wasn't expecting to see that we.
• 25:26
  Had kind of seen seen what this team could do, but I just, I
• 25:32
  wasn't anticipating them taking this many steps and having that
• 25:35
  big of a game this quick just because we had seen them kind of
• 25:38
  all right. Start to creep towards 200,
• 25:41
  creep maybe a little little past 200 in the rushing game.
• 25:44
  Yeah, I didn't expect us to bust open for 318.
• 25:47
  And like you were talking about Tooting, like there was a
• 25:49
  stretch there where for like every.
• 25:55
  Like every play he was getting like 8 to 10 yards for about
• 25:57
  like a six or seven play stretch, yeah.
• 26:01
  And I mean they just like they couldn't stop him all.
• 26:04
  Right, Brian, real quick, just so we can hit it on this.
• 26:08
  I think we saw a lot more Brody Meadows on Thursday night than
• 26:12
  we had to me. And I told you me and you talked
• 26:16
  about it when you were playing poker.
• 26:18
  We're sitting over here watching the game.
• 26:20
  Harper, Clemens. That didn't look like the Parker
• 26:22
  Clements from the first seven games of the year something It
• 26:29
  wasn't perfect but it won't the where he was.
• 26:35
  You know it may come down to it may be competition.
• 26:39
  You know, it may be a because. I mean, I've seen, just from my
• 26:43
  perspective, I've seen some shuffling on the line.
• 26:48
  At one point I'm texting Curtis. Like, Chaplin's not in the game.
• 26:52
  Is he hurt? And then Parker's not in the
• 26:54
  game, you know, is Ron Crook trying to get some of these
• 26:58
  young guys, some Byrne to say you didn't do your job, you got
• 27:01
  to come over here and stand with me?
• 27:03
  Or were they were they injured? Are they trying to get, like, we
• 27:06
  don't know. But I do know that when you rush
• 27:09
  for 318 yards, people who are going in the game, somebody's
• 27:13
  creating some holes and then even when the young guys got in
• 27:17
  at the end of the game, like they came off the bench height,
• 27:19
  they were firing. Off the ball at the end, you see
• 27:22
  people firing off the ball at the end, wanting to get in,
• 27:24
  wanting to show what they can do.
• 27:26
  So, I mean, that's what you got to do as a that's what you got
• 27:30
  to do as a as a football team. You got to build off each other.
• 27:33
  You have to continue to iron, sharpen iron and you got to have
• 27:39
  those competition plays in practice.
• 27:41
  So I'm, I'm thinking from what I'm seeing that may be it.
• 27:46
  You know, it's a little bit more competition going on, but
• 27:48
  people's not just comfortable where you are, You're the best
• 27:50
  we got. You going to have to go out
• 27:52
  there. It's like, God, we'll put a
• 27:53
  freshman in if we need to. We just need somebody to go in
• 27:56
  and get this job done. So I agree with you, Curtis.
• 28:00
  I did look a little bit different.
• 28:02
  Parker did look just a little different this game.
• 28:05
  Then we've seen him again. It wasn't perfect but we got to
• 28:08
  give him a little bit more credit for this game that we
• 28:11
  have seen in other games. Yeah, better overall.
• 28:15
  I mean when you look at what we want to see, I think progression
• 28:19
  is what we kind of been looking for in this offensive line and
• 28:21
  we're starting to see a little bit of that and some of that's
• 28:24
  mentalities. I think some of that is this
• 28:27
  team is starting to take on the, at least on the offensive side,
• 28:30
  it's starting to take on the mentality of their quarterback.
• 28:33
  Yeah, true. And when you see the way.
• 28:38
  That Drones has approached these matchups and how he comes out,
• 28:41
  he's he's, he's fiery, he's he's somebody isn't afraid to go up
• 28:45
  and deliver a blow when he finishes a run.
• 28:48
  And I think the offensive identity is starting to kind of
• 28:51
  feed off of that, yeah. 100% Well, let's talk about drones on
• 28:56
  the other on the other part of his game and how efficient he
• 28:59
  was on Thursday night, 63% aid, an attempt on 615 to 24.
• 29:07
  And Brian, talk about what you saw from Felton and Lane because
• 29:11
  I mean, they carried the load. Yeah, it was.
• 29:16
  It was really a good game from both of them.
• 29:18
  We saw the the big play, big, big deep ball to Felton.
• 29:26
  That kind of really got things going and really kind of put the
• 29:29
  the game a little bit out of reach, right?
• 29:31
  That was kind of the play that kind of felt like broke their
• 29:33
  back because we had scored. Couple field goals, got a
• 29:38
  touchdown, but that felt like the the dagger play, that was
• 29:42
  the that was the play that kind of broke their will for the for
• 29:45
  good and all for the rest of the game, yeah.
• 29:48
  For sure. And they both had deep 2 deep
• 29:51
  balls. The deep ball Brown Mitchell for
• 29:52
  the touchdown, but lames that little deep whatever he did.
• 29:56
  The corner they said Dan Mullen, not a bad analyst by the way.
• 29:59
  I didn't mind listening to Dan because he said he talked about
• 30:03
  why Lane got his guy. He said he was running it.
• 30:05
  Showed corner, got bit, he hit post and then drones dropped it
• 30:10
  right in the bread basket day, which was great.
• 30:13
  Here's the other thing I like. You'll pull up the box score
• 30:15
  guys and start counting the number of names that got to
• 30:18
  catch 99 guys got catches and and yes, Felton and and and and
• 30:27
  Lane got none of those but for those other seven.
• 30:30
  He hit Gosnell, he hit laugh, and he hit two and he hit
• 30:33
  Malachi. He hit right, he hit Gosnell, He
• 30:35
  hit Holloway to me. That's where I we keep talking
• 30:40
  about. You know what that means,
• 30:41
  Curtis? Progression he's going through.
• 30:44
  He's going through progressions, he's progressing and he's going
• 30:48
  through his progressions. He's checking down.
• 30:50
  He's doing what a quarterback is supposed to do, which is great
• 30:54
  to see. Drones is my guy.
• 30:57
  He's all of our guys like we've been team drones from the
• 31:00
  beginning. But I will say I'm going to toss
• 31:03
  this back to you, Curtis, because I don't want to call it
• 31:07
  what went bad. I think we can talk about it
• 31:09
  here. Seeing drones not because he
• 31:12
  didn't have his A game like if I if I rated his game with us
• 31:17
  winning like we did, I'll say at least AB minus is probably where
• 31:21
  I put him. You know he missed a couple of
• 31:24
  guys he, you know missed a couple of deep balls.
• 31:26
  Different things like that. Even on the sacks, I feel like
• 31:30
  you know some of those sacks he he he can get out of that the
• 31:34
  more he learns because they had a spy on him and I think he's
• 31:38
  just better than that linebacker linebacker make a great play but
• 31:41
  him maybe holding on the ball too long but waiting too long to
• 31:44
  take off. So I'll say talking about it
• 31:47
  while we're talking about this Curtis, how do you feel you know
• 31:51
  about drones? Not having his A game, but still
• 31:56
  having that mentality to rally the team for us to beat somebody
• 31:59
  38 to 10. Y'all y'all say a lot about it
• 32:02
  and y'all both play at a collegiate level.
• 32:05
  It's mentality. We blew out a team that was four
• 32:08
  and three. Yes, they had their struggles
• 32:10
  coming in, but they had some. They beat Purdue, they had a
• 32:12
  couple OK wins. We didn't see this blowout
• 32:15
  coming and if you told me. Oh, you going to blow them out.
• 32:18
  I was glad to sit here and be like drones went for 285 in the
• 32:21
  air. He went for 110 on the ground.
• 32:24
  He he accounted for four touchdowns total.
• 32:27
  He didn't. He didn't.
• 32:28
  But what he also did like you said he rallied the troops but
• 32:32
  he stayed calm. He didn't get rattled any when
• 32:36
  you know he had he had one big run he was kind of getting box
• 32:39
  they spied him. But Brian, what do you say this
• 32:43
  that when the quarterback? Has that B minus and something
• 32:48
  like this happens, What does it do for everybody around you?
• 32:50
  What does it do for the line? What does it do for the White
• 32:52
  House? What does it do for the running
• 32:53
  backs? Well, like like Tally said, I
• 32:57
  think the big thing is that you know when you see a quarterback
• 33:00
  that can still impact the game with his leadership and
• 33:04
  mentality, even when he's not playing what you would call it A
• 33:08
  game or an A minus game or that B plus game, you know, we we
• 33:12
  probably got AB game from him overall.
• 33:14
  But he was still impacting the the play in other ways.
• 33:18
  He was still making the timely throws even when he wasn't
• 33:21
  making all the throws. The throws he made counted the
• 33:24
  throws he made removing the sticks, the throws he made were
• 33:27
  going for big touchdowns. So you still were getting some
• 33:30
  of that as we were going along. And like I said, I think the
• 33:33
  mentality that he brings to the table, we feed off that because
• 33:37
  the running game was working, our running game was working and
• 33:41
  the only time we it was slowing down.
• 33:44
  And it's and it's been, we've seen it week kind of week after
• 33:47
  week. At this point, if if this team
• 33:48
  has one flaw and we're going to talk about it here in a second,
• 33:51
  if this team has one flaw, it's probably red zone scoring, yeah?
• 33:56
  And and and that's where two things are happening.
• 34:00
  Two things are happening there. One, you you show you know your
• 34:03
  inexperienced quarterback. Some of that inexperience shows
• 34:05
  up in those tighter windows, those you know, more quick
• 34:10
  decision making. That has to take place in the
• 34:11
  red area #2. Your offensive line flaws are a
• 34:16
  lot more apparent because you have a lot less room to work.
• 34:20
  You got more from the box, you got more Brian, we're going to
• 34:23
  let you, we're going to let you cook with that.
• 34:24
  When we go to, we going to go to the next segment.
• 34:26
  We want to stay on the what we're good right there, but
• 34:29
  don't forget what you're saying. Yeah, Don't.
• 34:30
  Forget it. Don't get it.
• 34:32
  That's all good stuff. But I just wanted to go.
• 34:34
  But yeah, I wanted to go back right quick, Curtis.
• 34:37
  Just to say one thing about drones and and even when he
• 34:42
  doesn't have a A+ game, like Brian said, the running game is
• 34:48
  working. And this is no disrespect to any
• 34:51
  quarterback or any quarterback that's played for Virginia Tech
• 34:55
  or that started the season as the Virginia Tech QB.
• 34:58
  One our offense is set up to have a running back be a threat.
• 35:03
  Drones is a threat. So even if he doesn't run for
• 35:05
  any yards, he has done it in the past and that defense is keying
• 35:10
  on him running. If you watch the linebackers and
• 35:14
  you watch the ends, their eyes on that quarterback to make sure
• 35:17
  he doesn't gash them. So that little bit of time when
• 35:20
  you give Tooting just that little extra step and he can get
• 35:25
  that little extra off to get in that, get up that up that gap,
• 35:29
  up that same. That's why we're able to hit
• 35:31
  people for six yards, 7 yards, you know, even 3 yards instead
• 35:37
  of being tackled in the backfield like we were at the
• 35:39
  beginning of the season. But Curtis, I know you have
• 35:41
  something else. Go ahead brother.
• 35:42
  Well, I got two because you were talking about the rush, and I
• 35:44
  want to hit this real quick since I want y'all to both guess
• 35:50
  at this number since Kyron drones took over at quarterback.
• 35:54
  Do y'all know what we're averaging per game?
• 35:57
  Rushing the ball? I'll give y'all this yet.
• 36:01
  It's in the top 20. I don't.
• 36:03
  I don't. I don't.
• 36:04
  I was going to say I know it's, I know it's, it's good.
• 36:08
  It's better than we were at. But I don't.
• 36:09
  Know what it was. I don't want it 190.
• 36:13
  Six. That's pretty good.
• 36:17
  I don't. Even one play if Price is right,
• 36:18
  man, I didn't even go over. Nailed it, 196.
• 36:22
  That would rank 19th in the country in Russia.
• 36:24
  But you got to understand that's crazy compared to what we and
• 36:28
  then like you think about again, we talk about Purdue.
• 36:34
  This Syracuse team that we just played gashed them.
• 36:38
  They gashed them running the ball, US playing ODU like we we
• 36:44
  met what we have 50 yards rushing, 30 yards rushing.
• 36:48
  Like we had a crazy number of yards rushing compared to 319
• 36:53
  like. What we're doing now is crazy.
• 36:55
  But you know what? Hold that, because me and me and
• 36:57
  Brian, remember we got to state of the program address in
• 37:00
  December. Got all those feelings in the
• 37:02
  back of you? Oh yeah.
• 37:04
  We go pack them away. We go let them flow in the when
• 37:07
  the liquor's flowing, Yeah, we have to see.
• 37:09
  Nobody got to go to work the next day.
• 37:11
  Yeah, we got to see what these next four games going to do.
• 37:13
  Jeremy, we're doing that for you too.
• 37:14
  We know you're out there. Two other pieces to hit
• 37:16
  offensively. I love the two gadget plays.
• 37:20
  The Malachi. Malachi Thomas can throw a ball.
• 37:23
  Oh, it looks good. They look great.
• 37:27
  And then the XTV reversed That kids got some wheels.
• 37:30
  Cause, yeah, they do. Watching that play, are we going
• 37:32
  to lose? Y'all are we going to lose?
• 37:33
  Oh wait a second. That was the longest.
• 37:36
  That was the the farthest I ever seen somebody run 9 yards in my
• 37:40
  life. It looked like he was running
• 37:42
  for 40 yards. It's a nine yard game, but like
• 37:45
  you said, it could have been a loss.
• 37:47
  But he squeaked something out of it.
• 37:49
  So. Heads had some jets had a little
• 37:51
  bit of wiggle to get some extra yards there so I mean that's
• 37:54
  what you like to see from that type of play and it and it makes
• 37:57
  them have to think about it going forward.
• 37:59
  They can't just send those linebackers flowing.
• 38:02
  Anytime we have one of those tosses or anything like that
• 38:05
  they got to start thinking about in the back of the head I, I I
• 38:07
  can't quite pursue like that. I got to got to make sure that
• 38:10
  we're we're we're not flowing too quick here especially guys
• 38:14
  on the backside too that they have that container
• 38:16
  responsibility. When we run, When we run a short
• 38:20
  side toss. Uh, oh, oh Lord.
• 38:25
  Robbie. Robbie.
• 38:27
  You know, you always got my vote to talk football, man.
• 38:30
  I don't know if these two dudes up here like you, man, but you
• 38:33
  know I love them. You know I love you.
• 38:35
  So you always you always got my you always got my vote to drink
• 38:39
  some moonshine and and talk football.
• 38:42
  That man was in my way and he definitely got my vote.
• 38:45
  Yeah, definitely. Two more things.
• 38:47
  Give special teams a shout out. John Love Drilling the goals all
• 38:50
  night. John Love.
• 38:52
  And Tucker Holloway that Tell me is he topping the ACC right now?
• 38:58
  You give me a minute. I'll talk about what y'all saw
• 39:01
  cause 'cause Stu Holt. Somebody posted?
• 39:04
  Yeah, somebody posted something about Tucker Holloway, you know,
• 39:08
  Oh. Oh, he's topping the ACC, right?
• 39:14
  And he ain't even got a touchdown yet this year.
• 39:16
  No, he doesn't. That's crazy.
• 39:18
  But this is what I was going to say, which was cool to I heard
• 39:21
  him on some of these podcasts. Was it TSLI heard?
• 39:25
  I've seen him on a podcast. I got to go and find out exactly
• 39:27
  which one because I've listened to so much stuff.
• 39:29
  But you know, he's just talking. He, he seems like a really
• 39:32
  humble kid and he talks about just being a team player and
• 39:36
  somebody posted that he was I think topping the ACC or that
• 39:41
  stat that you just said and he he posted a picture of still
• 39:46
  shot of everybody blocking and he said This is why.
• 39:50
  So he's posting everybody that's got that man locked up in the
• 39:54
  lane that he has you know and he makes one man missing.
• 39:58
  He's off to the races. So to have that mind, to even be
• 40:02
  humble like that, and to bring his teammates into that
• 40:06
  celebration with him is awesome. So.
• 40:09
  I mean, we got a lot of this stuff going, man.
• 40:11
  I mean, I just want us to keep building on this momentum and,
• 40:15
  you know, finish out the season. Absolutely.
• 40:18
  All right, Brian, you ready? We moved to what went bad?
• 40:23
  The floor is yours because because.
• 40:25
  I got overzealous there. That's my bad.
• 40:26
  No, no, you. You all good?
• 40:29
  But I know what, but Brian, go ahead and.
• 40:30
  Say it. But I got a one time.
• 40:31
  Get that Lantern. I was like, oh shit.
• 40:32
  I'm now I'm talking about something bad.
• 40:33
  Holy shit, I'm a little ahead of myself.
• 40:35
  Here, LeBron, be be reality. Why?
• 40:38
  Why? What you were talking about, why
• 40:39
  you wanted to change not only for games, but what could have
• 40:42
  happened. Like what could have happened
• 40:44
  Thursday night could have been. Big time.
• 40:47
  Yeah, it could have been easily A50 Burger if you're more
• 40:51
  successful in the red zone. And like I was saying earlier,
• 40:54
  that starts with, you know, there are a lot of reasons that
• 40:58
  a young team like this, an offense that's still developing
• 41:01
  like this, is having some of those problems.
• 41:04
  When you get in the red area, you got a quarterback that's
• 41:07
  still learning, the offense still overall inexperienced in
• 41:10
  terms of the number of starts and things like that, that that
• 41:13
  gets harder. When you're in the red zone,
• 41:15
  those windows get tighter. You see a lot more, lot less
• 41:20
  time in the pocket because you got more guys near and around
• 41:23
  the line of scrimmage. You know, you add that with the
• 41:27
  on the offensive line side, you got more people near the box.
• 41:30
  They're bringing more pressure. There's it's harder to get to
• 41:35
  the second level because there's more people in the box close to
• 41:37
  the box. So there's there's a lot of
• 41:40
  different factors that come into play when you talk about success
• 41:43
  in the red area versus success between the 20s, so.
• 41:47
  I I get why we're struggling. But at the same time it's
• 41:50
  something that we need to start seeing some progress on as we as
• 41:55
  we play a team like Louisville this week and as we close out
• 41:57
  these last four games of the season.
• 41:59
  Yeah, especially like you said when you're playing somebody
• 42:02
  like Louisville where you going into their house, you going in
• 42:06
  as an underdog. If you get it at Red Zone,
• 42:08
  you're not going to be a team like that with field goals.
• 42:12
  Not all the time. You know, you a field goal could
• 42:15
  win it, but you got to put some, you got to get in the end zone,
• 42:18
  you got to touch, pay dirt. So like you said, all of those
• 42:22
  things that you talked about are things that our young offense,
• 42:26
  our young play caller is going to learn and it's going to do
• 42:30
  better. You know, it's the the offense
• 42:32
  as a whole. We're going to see that stuff
• 42:36
  and we're going to start producing there.
• 42:37
  So I'm excited to see what we, what we're going to be able to
• 42:43
  accomplish. I guess the next thing, Curtis,
• 42:46
  I'll throw back to you because it wasn't very much that we can
• 42:48
  say went bad, but I think you may have had something else that
• 42:52
  you want to talk about. Well, just no forced turnovers.
• 42:56
  We, we had the opportunity a couple times.
• 42:58
  I mean, we got the ball on the ground, there were a couple
• 43:00
  times we got our hands on it in the air and we just didn't do
• 43:03
  it. And and again, that's the thing
• 43:05
  goes back to what Brian said, if we force a couple turnovers in
• 43:08
  this game. I mean, let's go back 99 and go
• 43:12
  62. Nothing.
• 43:13
  I mean, this game could have been big time bad into bronze
• 43:16
  point last week. Syracuse to me is a better team
• 43:20
  than the bottom. Yeah, there's there's like,
• 43:23
  right there, right there about to fall under that tear.
• 43:26
  If they lose again, they're going to fall into that tear.
• 43:27
  And we might have sent the death nail into the Dino Babies
• 43:30
  coffin, but that's the piece which, like this team's a little
• 43:34
  bit better. They've got a they've got a good
• 43:36
  running quarterback, which always seems to be an issue.
• 43:39
  But we we overcame it and go let's go into this and I'm I'm
• 43:42
  going to go ahead and leave mine.
• 43:43
  Y'all already said it once anything happened we were not
• 43:46
  prepared for. I was not prepared of how we
• 43:48
  clogged those QB lanes. I there were no, she did not
• 43:52
  escape any All night I was shocked to see that.
• 43:55
  That's a credit to not only the entire defensive coaching staff
• 44:00
  but Chris Marr understanding and getting the guys in the
• 44:03
  mentality like listen we and I said it.
• 44:06
  We have to stay disciplined. We were aggressive off the
• 44:09
  edges, but to Brian, your point, we were pushing the gap.
• 44:13
  We weren't moving. We weren't trying to like stunt
• 44:17
  and shift and slant and all this.
• 44:18
  Just like, listen, just get up in there, make sure if he comes
• 44:22
  up, he's not coming up to anything.
• 44:24
  A couple times we got lucky and he took too many steps back and
• 44:29
  we were able to get up in the interior defensive line and get
• 44:32
  to sacks. What about you, Brian?
• 44:34
  What in the world were you not prepared for?
• 44:38
  I have not been prepared for how much of a difference having
• 44:41
  Nasir peoples out there has made for this defense.
• 44:44
  Yeah, that's been It definitely was a big deal.
• 44:49
  I mean, we knew that that unit was going to be young.
• 44:53
  I think having his leadership back has been big, but having
• 44:56
  his playback has been even bigger and.
• 45:01
  Something that I thought was a huge problem the first four or
• 45:05
  five weeks of the season has been very much less so since
• 45:09
  he's been back and healthy. We will get tested again this
• 45:13
  week on that front. So I'm hoping to continue this
• 45:16
  trend of this being something that has surprised me, but I I
• 45:20
  like putting that out there and a just a specific shout out to
• 45:24
  Peoples for his play the last few weeks.
• 45:27
  Shout out and see your peoples. What about you, Tally?
• 45:29
  What in the world were you not prepared for sitting down?
• 45:32
  7:30, I'm sure you took a big, deep breath.
• 45:34
  Oh, man. Two things I wasn't prepared for
• 45:37
  was the time of possession. They only held the ball for 18
• 45:42
  minutes. We had the ball for 41 minutes,
• 45:45
  almost 42 minutes compared to their 18.
• 45:49
  And this is the big thing. They were O for 9 on 3rd down, O
• 45:55
  for 9:00. Oh yeah, I got it.
• 45:59
  He called it. He.
• 46:00
  Called it out. He set you up.
• 46:01
  He. Set you up O for 9 on 3rd down.
• 46:06
  You know, you been every everybody's been in the lane,
• 46:09
  you know. And on 3rd down you're up and
• 46:11
  you're yelling, you got your keys and then they get a first
• 46:14
  down and you sit down and you look at Curtis and go fuck, you
• 46:18
  know what I'm saying? Like that's what you that's what
• 46:20
  I do when I'm in there. But I'm at the house and I'm
• 46:24
  standing up and I'm shaking my keys and we get off the field
• 46:29
  again and again and again and again the whole night.
• 46:33
  Like I was not prepared to shut them down and they go over 9 on
• 46:38
  3rd down. Like I've never seen nothing
• 46:42
  like it, man. It was.
• 46:42
  It was. It was scary.
• 46:45
  You know what it felt like? And Brian?
• 46:47
  I talked to Mitch at work. I messaged him.
• 46:50
  Mitch, Mitch. Mitch is season ticket holder.
• 46:53
  It felt like the lane of old. She felt nasty, she felt mean.
• 46:57
  She felt loud and they got the bitter end of it.
• 47:01
  Like she. Lane.
• 47:02
  Biddle Lane, you listen. I wish we could play that clip
• 47:06
  again. Go find that and find the 8
• 47:08
  sacks every single time. It is so loud.
• 47:12
  You can just hear the crowd right there, so loud at them.
• 47:16
  I love that. All right.
• 47:19
  What can we do better moving forward?
• 47:21
  And I think, I think this is going to be an echo, be that
• 47:25
  team every week, every week. Every week, Consistently.
• 47:29
  Stop the run. Sack the quarterback.
• 47:31
  Run the ball, pass efficiently. Big plays and it's like we know
• 47:37
  you. We wish you could but we know we
• 47:39
  might not get 8 sacks every week.
• 47:41
  We understand that as as fans that watch football, but we can
• 47:45
  be a team that shows up and does their job, that fields lanes and
• 47:52
  doesn't give up a fucking 70 yard touchdown on 3rd and two,
• 47:58
  you know, things like that. You know, the big plays, the big
• 48:02
  running plays have killed us early in the season.
• 48:06
  So it's good to see that we've somewhat corrected those.
• 48:10
  You know, you don't want to speak too fast because we still
• 48:12
  got four games to go. But from what we've seen in the
• 48:15
  pit game, for what we seen in the weight game, from what we
• 48:18
  seen in this Syracuse game, you know, Florida State is a little
• 48:22
  bit different than Florida State's outside.
• 48:25
  Outside of three plays, we saw it somewhat consistently against
• 48:28
  them after that first quarter. So, right.
• 48:30
  So you know, just be that team like you said every week, man.
• 48:34
  And and you know this, this, this season shapes up and
• 48:39
  finishes up Good for us. Right.
• 48:43
  Yeah, I mean, I'm right there with you.
• 48:45
  Just let's let's be this team every week and.
• 48:48
  Like Tally said, I don't expect 8 sacks, but I want to see the
• 48:52
  same type of effort of getting there.
• 48:53
  Like you're not always going to get home eight times like there.
• 48:56
  There's going to be quarterbacks that get rid of the ball better
• 48:58
  than Schrader did. There's been quarterbacks that
• 49:01
  find a way to step up in the pocket differently and able to
• 49:04
  get the ball out of their hands better than Schrader did, but
• 49:09
  you're still impacting the play. You're making him move faster.
• 49:12
  You're making him to get rid of the ball quicker.
• 49:15
  If you're consistently doing those things, you're going to be
• 49:18
  in a good position on defense to get off the field.
• 49:23
  And I'll say it, and I'll say this too, Curtis, when you say
• 49:26
  be the same team every week, that means at home and away.
• 49:31
  We've seen a different team at home than we've seen away.
• 49:35
  So this week we're going away. We're going to play a ranked
• 49:40
  Louisville team, which we're going to talk about after Curtis
• 49:44
  gives us some words. Well the the last piece I'll say
• 49:47
  is and y'all talking about it with you can't get a sacks every
• 49:50
  week, you likely can't. But what you can do and y'all
• 49:54
  know this from both playing tight end and line and tally
• 49:57
  playing defensive end and everything, you make them think
• 50:01
  so much. There's going to be times this
• 50:02
  week where Louisville's going to go and Max protect on certain
• 50:05
  place because they're going to be like we screw up on this five
• 50:09
  step drop. He going to be in Plumbers Grill
• 50:12
  and he going to hit it. We don't want that.
• 50:14
  So what we're going to do, we're going to play Max protect.
• 50:16
  I want you shade left, you going to shade right.
• 50:18
  We're going to send 3 routes out, keep everybody else in.
• 50:21
  And when you start doing that, you start taking away the
• 50:23
  options. When you start stopping running
• 50:26
  the ball and you fill in the lanes, OK, instead of the
• 50:30
  running back going to where the lane's supposed to be, I'm going
• 50:32
  to Kick It Out because they fill in their laps.
• 50:34
  I'm going to try to get to the edge and then the next thing you
• 50:36
  know is 7 yards for loss. That's what that's what we're
• 50:40
  talking about. All right.
• 50:41
  And you are right, Tally. Before we get to know the enemy
• 50:45
  for the Louisville Cardinals, we are going to take a quick fall
• 50:48
  for my digital partners and Main Street Pharmacy.
• 50:52
  I can probably save you a lot of money and I can take a lot
• 50:54
  better care of you. That's pretty much it.
• 50:57
  My name is Jeremy Counts and I'm a pharmacist.
• 50:59
  I own and operate Main Street Pharmacy here in downtown
• 51:02
  Blacksburg. My brother's a pharmacist.
• 51:04
  I'm a pharmacist. My uncle's a pharmacist.
• 51:05
  My dad's a pharmacist. I remember he would give me M
• 51:07
  and Ms. to count in little pill counters.
• 51:10
  This is something I've always done, and I'm just lucky that
• 51:13
  what I know so well is something that I can do and feel good
• 51:16
  about it and give back to people.
• 51:18
  Pharmacies are your frontline defense.
• 51:20
  Pharmacy's job is to make sure you're getting optimal care for
• 51:23
  the lowest price possible. Also, we take the pressure off
• 51:27
  of emergency rooms. I'll tell people immediately
• 51:29
  when they need to go to the doctor, or I'll tell them if
• 51:31
  they just need a cream over the counter.
• 51:33
  If there's something that isn't commercially available, if it's
• 51:35
  something that's not available in a certain strength or a
• 51:38
  certain form or anything like that, we'll make it tailor made
• 51:41
  medications. Some of those options save
• 51:42
  people a lot of money. What motivates me?
• 51:44
  I get to take care of people and limit Blacksburg.
• 51:47
  That's all neat. As we take a quick break, we'd

• 52:10
  Now back to the episode. All righty, So now let's do know
• 52:14
  the enemy. Let's take a look at the
• 52:16
  Louisville Cardinals and let's start on the offensive side of
• 52:18
  the ball. Yeah, they got their masks back
• 52:21
  out. Joker's here.
• 52:22
  All right, Brian, let's start with the offense.
• 52:25
  Let's talk about the offensive scheme for this team.
• 52:29
  Yeah man, we're we got the Jeff and Brian Braun, the Brown
• 52:34
  brothers running the offense here.
• 52:36
  This is a multiple up tempo spread.
• 52:39
  They run a lot of Prostyle looks as well, very predicated on the
• 52:43
  success of the run game and staying on schedule.
• 52:47
  And they attack the whole field. But that short catch and run,
• 52:52
  that's really their bread and butter and that's that's where
• 52:54
  they make their most successful plays is off.
• 52:57
  They catch and run in the short passing game and also being able
• 53:01
  to run the football effectively to set all those things up when
• 53:05
  they take a a shot deep. And they're also not afraid of
• 53:08
  trick plays or you're probably going to see a trick play here
• 53:10
  or there throughout the game. So look for that as well.
• 53:13
  A making us stay on our toes. We did it twice last week.
• 53:17
  We know that I want to make 1.4. Brian starts getting into the
• 53:21
  players here and we start looking at them.
• 53:24
  Something that's very interesting about them.
• 53:27
  They are not a good third down conversion team. 37, 1/2%,
• 53:32
  that's that's not a good number. You don't want to be down into
• 53:34
  that under 40%. But here's the craziest part
• 53:40
  they get, you know. They've only gotten 21st downs
• 53:45
  on 3rd down. Everything else, almost 75% is
• 53:48
  on 1st and 2nd. I know Shelton loves to say it.
• 53:51
  It's more what you do on 1st and 2nd.
• 53:53
  To me, I think about this game right now.
• 53:56
  We've got to get them there. We've got to get them to 3rd
• 53:59
  down. I think that's going to be one
• 54:00
  of our big keys. Brian, let's talk about Jack
• 54:03
  Plummer. He's a six foot five £215
• 54:06
  quarterback, Gilbert AZ and Gilbert High School.
• 54:11
  He was a transfer from Cal, well last season of Cali had a pretty
• 54:14
  good year where he threw for over 3000 yards, 21 touchdown, 9
• 54:19
  picks. He had been committed or had
• 54:21
  played previously under Braun at Purdue where he was in 88 as a
• 54:27
  class of 2018. So he's older, I know you've got
• 54:31
  some info on that. And so far this year, 2018 yards
• 54:37
  13 and a. 13 touchdowns, but eight picks through just eight
• 54:42
  games. So a little loose with the ball.
• 54:45
  Brian, what do you think? Yeah, I mean, as you said, he's
• 54:49
  a COVID year super senior and was really a late bloomer in
• 54:53
  terms of his time out There was kind of in a battle back in 2021
• 55:01
  when he was still at Purdue and lost.
• 55:03
  That battle ended up transferring.
• 55:06
  Had a pretty good season, that Cal.
• 55:09
  And then decided to use that super senior final year to take
• 55:14
  a chance on himself, go back with Braun and can get in this
• 55:17
  offense. So what I what I like about him
• 55:21
  watching his game he he makes really quick decisions and gets
• 55:24
  rid of the football pretty quickly from a rushing
• 55:28
  standpoint. You'll see some occasional
• 55:31
  quarterback keepers, just mostly to keep the defense honest.
• 55:35
  He's not a rushing threat. He will sometimes break the
• 55:37
  pocket. But usually when he does that,
• 55:39
  he's looking to throw. He's only scrambling if it's a
• 55:42
  wide open lane there. He's accurate in the short and
• 55:45
  intermediate passing game. Does take a shot here there, but
• 55:49
  that's not really his strength. But what he does, he does get
• 55:52
  into trouble when that first read isn't open or or when he
• 55:56
  trusts his arm too much. He does have a really good arm,
• 56:00
  but sometimes he trusts that arm too much and put the ball into
• 56:02
  harm's way. So as Curtis said, he will throw
• 56:05
  some interceptions in there. So that's what you're going to
• 56:08
  get with plumber. You're going to get a guy that
• 56:09
  can kind of carve you up in the short intermediate game.
• 56:12
  But if you can get some pressure on him, make him go a little bit
• 56:15
  quicker than he's ready to make him throw the ball further down
• 56:18
  field, you might get some some pick opportunities there.
• 56:21
  Very nice, Tally. Who we looking at next?
• 56:24
  Yeah, the person who he's throwing the ball to most of the
• 56:26
  time is Jabari Thrash. He's about 6-1, about one 85190.
• 56:33
  He's from LaGrange, GA 2019 kid. He transferred to Louisville
• 56:38
  from Georgia State. So this is his first year with
• 56:44
  Louisville. He was a 83 composite ranking
• 56:50
  out of high school. Didn't have many big offers.
• 56:55
  Georgia State. Arkansas State.
• 56:59
  He had some looks from Georgia Tech but didn't have an offer.
• 57:03
  So Georgia Southern. A couple of others that he had
• 57:06
  offers from him. So no, no big schools really
• 57:09
  there. And he's been you know he's been
• 57:13
  their guy on offense. He has about 712 yards receiving
• 57:19
  so far this year. Pulling it up right now.
• 57:27
  Yeah, yeah, he say. What now?
• 57:30
  You're efforting, Yeah. He's got 7 hundred, 712 yards, 6
• 57:35
  touchdowns. His long being 85 yards.
• 57:40
  Brian, what you got on him? Yeah man, he's he's a big time
• 57:45
  threat man. They really use him every, every
• 57:47
  level of the defense, most of the route tree is available to
• 57:50
  him. Bread and butter is kind of
• 57:52
  that, that that short stuff, intermediate stuff that he can.
• 57:56
  Kind of get a catch and run opportunity when he's got some
• 57:58
  space there to operate and taking those long distances, but
• 58:02
  they will throw the deep ball to him as well, usually off that
• 58:05
  play action. So.
• 58:07
  So look for him to really kind of hurt you at every level of
• 58:10
  the defense. He's a guy you got to keep keep
• 58:12
  an eye on the whole time, man. Yeah.
• 58:15
  Absolutely. And one last piece about him.
• 58:18
  Teammates with Derek Canteen for the last several years at
• 58:22
  Georgia State. So maybe we get a little Intel.
• 58:25
  He went to, he went to State canteen with the Southern.
• 58:28
  Oh shoot, not that doesn't went to State.
• 58:30
  No Canteen went to Georgia Southern, but he went to Georgia
• 58:34
  State. And I've got a buddy here that I
• 58:36
  sold cars with. His son transferred from Georgia
• 58:39
  State to USC this year. So Southern Cal.
• 58:43
  His name is Jamil Muhammad. So I've watched Jamil play and
• 58:47
  I've seen this kid play before this year and he is really
• 58:51
  talented, so. He's definitely got to keep our
• 58:54
  own Jamari thrash and something real quick.
• 58:57
  We were, we were, we were shooting the breeze about this
• 58:59
  right before you take a look after Jamari thrash, nobody's
• 59:03
  over 300 yards. Nobody's over 300 yards.
• 59:08
  The highest next perception. He's got 46 perceptions. 17
• 59:13
  That's a big stinking gap between wide outs, and one
• 59:18
  reason it can be a big stinking gap between wide outs is because
• 59:21
  of their running back Jahar and. Jordan, 5 foot 10185 pounds,
• 59:27
  hometown of Long Island, New York.
• 59:29
  Originally a commit to Syracuse way back in 2018.
• 59:36
  He was a three star composite. Played an 88 with 247.
• 59:41
  Played a couple years, therefore he transferred down to
• 59:43
  Louisville. Had a solid season last year
• 59:46
  with over 815 yards and he is not only surpassed that already
• 59:51
  this year, he's blown by his touchdown numbers as well and
• 59:54
  his average yards per carry 824. This year, 7 1/2 per carry, 10
• 59:59
  touchdowns and Bryan is he used out of the backfield.
• 1:00:05
  Thumb Not not a ton. He'll he'll get a couple catches
• 1:00:08
  a game, but he's not he's not any sort of primary weapon that
• 1:00:12
  they're using in the in the passing attack.
• 1:00:15
  What he is really good at is he. He has great vision at the point
• 1:00:18
  of point of attack. He can be a home run hitter.
• 1:00:21
  He's got that type of elite speed.
• 1:00:24
  Like I said, good. He shows good hands out of the
• 1:00:25
  backfield, but they don't really target him that heavily in that
• 1:00:29
  in that mode they'll occasionally throw kind of a
• 1:00:34
  screen here or there. They'll throw screens to their
• 1:00:36
  wide outs, you know, screens the tight end.
• 1:00:40
  So they'll they'll they'll throw some screens that's in their
• 1:00:42
  repertoire, but it's not something that they target him a
• 1:00:46
  ton on. But he is the absolutely the
• 1:00:48
  engine that makes that offense go.
• 1:00:50
  If he has a rough game, they're going to have a a tough time
• 1:00:52
  scoring the football. So if we can stop him, we can
• 1:00:56
  make them one-dimensional. That's a good sign for us.
• 1:00:59
  Yeah, Brian was mentioning to us.
• 1:01:01
  All right, before we jumped on, when he went down in that pit
• 1:01:04
  game, that offense sort of fell apart.
• 1:01:07
  And it did. And we and we know what pit is.
• 1:01:09
  We know what Pit is and and NC State contained them and they
• 1:01:13
  they put up 13 points. They put up, they NC State
• 1:01:16
  should have won that game. We were mentioning it.
• 1:01:17
  Brendan Armstrong had been the quarterback.
• 1:01:19
  NC State would have won that game.
• 1:01:21
  So Brian, I'm going to let you. I don't want to say it because I
• 1:01:25
  was sad when I had to say it earlier.
• 1:01:26
  Let's talk about their offensive line and who's it led by?
• 1:01:30
  Well, it's led by a guy named Brian Hudson.
• 1:01:32
  So when when you when you think about that and you think about a
• 1:01:36
  few years back and what could have been that, that definitely
• 1:01:39
  makes you sad because we could really use a Brian Hudson on
• 1:01:42
  this offensive line right now. And a Doug master And a Doug
• 1:01:46
  master. Yeah, yeah, you have those two.
• 1:01:49
  You're looking pretty good. Yeah, you're looking pretty damn
• 1:01:52
  good. But yeah, so that.
• 1:01:55
  But that's another, that's another former Hokie that's
• 1:01:58
  that's shining elsewhere, graded very highly in PFF last year, is
• 1:02:04
  putting out another good campaign so far this year,
• 1:02:07
  locking down that center spot. And he's he's really the guy
• 1:02:11
  that that helps that team be able to run like they do.
• 1:02:14
  I mean he's very, very good in the run game.
• 1:02:18
  So that's something to keep an eye on.
• 1:02:21
  Obviously the rest of their offensive line, solid run
• 1:02:23
  blocking, especially gap schemes.
• 1:02:25
  When they pull those, those guards and and and tackles, they
• 1:02:30
  do a pretty good job of clearing things out there.
• 1:02:34
  They do a good job blocking in the screen game guys get up to
• 1:02:37
  the next level, get a get a hat on a hat, give them some
• 1:02:40
  opportunities to kind of operate in open space there.
• 1:02:44
  But pasper's a mixed bag. Their their tackles are only OK.
• 1:02:49
  They the garden tackle combinations sometimes with if
• 1:02:53
  you can run some stunts or some some blitzes at them, sometimes
• 1:02:56
  they can get confused and they stay, struggle with blitz, pick
• 1:02:59
  up off that edge pretty well. So if we're attacking off the
• 1:03:02
  edge with Kianta or or Kalai Lawson on the other side, I
• 1:03:07
  think we're going to be all right.
• 1:03:10
  All righty. So get home all.
• 1:03:12
  Right. So there is the offense again.
• 1:03:15
  You know, this is a pretty dangerous offensive team and you
• 1:03:18
  see the weapons and you see how much they're scoring.
• 1:03:23
  So it's good to have knowing some news notes on the way they
• 1:03:26
  like to do things. We appreciate that, Brian.
• 1:03:28
  All right. Brian's work's never done.
• 1:03:31
  Next he has to go look at the defense.
• 1:03:33
  And Brian, let's talk about this defense and because it is a
• 1:03:37
  change, right, because they were a four, three last year under
• 1:03:40
  Brian Brown with Scott 3/4. 340 excuse me?
• 1:03:43
  3/4 what? They have changed completely
• 1:03:46
  this year? Yeah, you're looking at a 425
• 1:03:49
  scheme they employ that stand up defensive end that we've seen a
• 1:03:54
  couple times this season. We'll shift into kind of a 245
• 1:03:59
  nickel package when they're trying to get after the passer
• 1:04:02
  on those those third long situations.
• 1:04:05
  Not super blitz heavy as much as you would think for a 4/2, but
• 1:04:10
  they would do like to bring pressure and they will shift the
• 1:04:12
  fronts to create confusion. So, you know, not, not something
• 1:04:16
  we're unfamiliar with here, but probably a little less
• 1:04:20
  aggressive, leaning a little bit more on their defensive line to
• 1:04:23
  get some some pressure on the quarterback.
• 1:04:26
  Yeah. And that group is led by Mark
• 1:04:28
  Hagan and Ron English. They are a Code DC unit.
• 1:04:31
  Watching that game on Saturday afternoon, English is the play
• 1:04:35
  caller. They mentioned that several
• 1:04:37
  times. But something that I found very
• 1:04:39
  interesting and and and this really piqued my interest was
• 1:04:44
  they are 19th in the country in sacks.
• 1:04:46
  That's that's pretty good, right?
• 1:04:48
  You top 25 in sacks, you're getting to the quarterback.
• 1:04:51
  Usually you see that it correlates to tackles for loss.
• 1:04:56
  They're not big on that, 70th in the country in tackle for loss.
• 1:05:00
  And Brian, they do have a really good.
• 1:05:05
  The defensive end that is making some hay.
• 1:05:08
  He is pretty high up in the country as far as it comes to
• 1:05:12
  total sacks. He's got like 8 1/2.
• 1:05:15
  Let's talk about Ashton Gillett who is a six foot three £270
• 1:05:24
  defensive end out of Boca Raton FL class of 2021 and 85.
• 1:05:29
  All he was was an 85 when he came out.
• 1:05:32
  Biggest offers. This is where you always look at
• 1:05:34
  those stories. Maryland, Duke, Kansas.
• 1:05:36
  Wake Forest for some of his big offers.
• 1:05:39
  And he, I said 8 1/2 sacks. Excuse me.
• 1:05:43
  Yeah, 8 1/2 sacks so far this year, 27 tackles.
• 1:05:47
  He's forced a couple fumbles. He's he's balling.
• 1:05:51
  And what can we do to stop him and what's he show?
• 1:05:55
  Yeah, I mean you know, typically he's the hand in the dirt
• 1:05:57
  defensive end that they will kind of have him standing up
• 1:06:00
  depending on the alignment. But usually he's the guy with
• 1:06:02
  the end of the dirt. He's coming hard off the edge,
• 1:06:06
  really good against the run. Will also be very good in the in
• 1:06:10
  the pass rush game here, steady when they run at him, but plays
• 1:06:16
  flat and fast and in pursuit. So he does good there as well.
• 1:06:19
  But he does get after the quarterback, especially if you
• 1:06:21
  give him one-on-one opportunities.
• 1:06:23
  He can be neutralized a little bit when you run another guy at
• 1:06:25
  him, but obviously that's going to take away from, you know,
• 1:06:29
  protection elsewhere if you're doing that consistently.
• 1:06:31
  So when he gets one-on-one opportunities he can get after
• 1:06:34
  the quarterback pretty good. Yep.
• 1:06:36
  And I was mentioning where he was.
• 1:06:37
  He's 5th in the country in sacks, 5th AP, RS4.
• 1:06:41
  There's only three guys in front of them.
• 1:06:44
  And there is only one Power Five guy in front of those two, and
• 1:06:47
  that's Jonah Ellis out at Utah. So those boys are doing work
• 1:06:51
  regardless. All right, I want to flip.
• 1:06:53
  Let's go back one unit. Let's talk about the defense.
• 1:06:56
  Excuse me, the linebacker room. And I looked and he caught my
• 1:07:00
  eye, was TJ Quinn. TJ Quinn out of Valdosta, GA
• 1:07:07
  Loudon's a 2021 recruit. 85 Not a big recruit if you go to his
• 1:07:13
  247 page everybody. On hokey jersey.
• 1:07:17
  Hokey jersey, He was a He officially visited the Hokies
• 1:07:21
  back in 2020. He was on our radar, and now
• 1:07:26
  he's down at Louisville so far this year.
• 1:07:31
  Get the stat line up here. He was one of them.
• 1:07:33
  Silence, wasn't he? Yeah.
• 1:07:36
  Of course. Silent, Silent 62 total tackles.
• 1:07:41
  One formal recovery, couple pass deflections and you know the
• 1:07:46
  last couple weeks he's had really good weeks. 19 total
• 1:07:50
  tackles between Pitt and Duke and pass deflection and a 1 1/2
• 1:07:56
  tackles for loss. Brian Where is he playing
• 1:08:00
  exactly and what do we need to be wary of him for?
• 1:08:04
  Yeah, he's playing that safety spot, really balance safety.
• 1:08:07
  They kind of use him both as a ball hawk and in run support.
• 1:08:13
  Great zone coverage defender. He's decent a man, but he can't
• 1:08:17
  get caught in space with some double moves.
• 1:08:20
  So if we're running at him, throw a little double move on
• 1:08:23
  there. Getting a little shifty might
• 1:08:24
  might get turned around a little bit, but he does a good job of
• 1:08:28
  filling in the running game. He gets there.
• 1:08:31
  He's not the best tackler. He's not the most sure tackler,
• 1:08:34
  but he is a willing hitter when he got comes in the box and you
• 1:08:39
  know as you said he's a guy that we've seen kind of a lot of the
• 1:08:42
  years. We saw him a lot with the that
• 1:08:44
  that UNC match up in the Coastal.
• 1:08:47
  So we're very familiar with the with with with his game and it's
• 1:08:53
  interesting how we almost had this as the match up that we
• 1:08:58
  would have been talking about in in three weeks and four, four
• 1:09:01
  weeks at this point instead of talking today because he was, he
• 1:09:05
  did play the spring game at UVA. So it's been a weird journey for
• 1:09:11
  Cameron Kelly, from a hokey silent commit to a UVA spring
• 1:09:16
  practice participant to now a Louisville starting safety.
• 1:09:19
  So. Definitely.
• 1:09:21
  Definitely. When you talk about Cameron
• 1:09:23
  Kelly, he was committed to Virginia Tech and then he went
• 1:09:31
  to Auburn. Then he transferred from Auburn
• 1:09:33
  and he went to North Carolina. Then he transferred from North
• 1:09:36
  Carolina and went to UVA. Then he never played at UVA and
• 1:09:40
  went to Louisville. So he's been kind of all over
• 1:09:45
  the place. But he's having a good year this
• 1:09:48
  year. He's going to be, you know, he's
• 1:09:52
  going to be tough to tough wild wide receivers to get loose on.
• 1:09:55
  So I'm just excited to see what they can do.
• 1:09:59
  Absolutely, Absolutely, boys. So now we got that.
• 1:10:02
  We got the key players on each side of the ball we feel could
• 1:10:05
  have impacts or potentially guys.
• 1:10:07
  If we can take out of the game, especially the offense, we take
• 1:10:11
  any one of those two offensive weapons out of the game, it will
• 1:10:14
  drastically hurt that team. We've got to talk about our
• 1:10:17
  keys, Brian, you've been talking a lot, so I'm going to let Tally
• 1:10:20
  leave this one so you can get a little sip of water and catch
• 1:10:22
  your breath. Tally, what's your key to this
• 1:10:25
  game? Get on that quarterback's ass.
• 1:10:29
  He showed you he can throw picks.
• 1:10:31
  He showed you he will throw picks.
• 1:10:33
  He can throw touchdowns too. He's got 13 touchdowns and eight
• 1:10:37
  picks. Hey, I like our chances.
• 1:10:40
  If we get it, if we pressure him, if we, he's not going to
• 1:10:43
  kill you running the ball. Like Brian said, he may move
• 1:10:47
  around the pocket a little bit, but he's not going to escape and
• 1:10:50
  you know, hit you 450 yard touchdown.
• 1:10:53
  You got to get pressure on him and if anybody can get pressure
• 1:10:56
  on him, I'm going to say the Hokies can get pressure on him.
• 1:10:58
  We got one of the best SAC leaders, one of the best SAC
• 1:11:02
  Titians in the country on our team.
• 1:11:05
  Hey, go get after them this week.
• 1:11:08
  It's time to put up a shut up. This is a big week.
• 1:11:11
  We've said this every week, Curtis.
• 1:11:13
  I know this weight game is huge. This, this, this pit game is
• 1:11:19
  huge. This Syracuse game is huge.
• 1:11:22
  But really, this game here, you're going on the road.
• 1:11:26
  And you're playing a ranked team, you know, and whoever wins
• 1:11:30
  this game is in second place in the ACC.
• 1:11:34
  There are no more divisions. So this is a huge game.
• 1:11:40
  This is a this is a game where Virginia Tech can put themselves
• 1:11:47
  on the map more than they are. Brett Pratt can solidify his
• 1:11:50
  coaching career here. And this team this season, man,
• 1:11:55
  they've they've turned it around.
• 1:11:58
  They've turned it around already.
• 1:11:59
  But you know, we still got big goals.
• 1:12:02
  You know, like I said from the beginning, I said, hey, just
• 1:12:04
  give you to a bowl game. These guys may be looking for
• 1:12:07
  ACC championship, man. And I got, I got to say this
• 1:12:10
  before I let y'all say what you said because Grayson wanted me
• 1:12:14
  to tell Shelton. But you know, Shelton's not only
• 1:12:16
  here tonight, Grayson said. Sheldon, you got to quit telling
• 1:12:20
  people that. They can't dream about the ACC
• 1:12:23
  championship. Let us dream.
• 1:12:26
  That's what Grayson said. He, and I think his worst was
• 1:12:29
  tell Shelton to kick rocks. I'm just saying, I'm just saying
• 1:12:35
  you Shelton, I don't think you're feeling good tonight,
• 1:12:38
  man, but when you watch this, Grayson said.
• 1:12:40
  Let let Hokey Nation have this. They want to.
• 1:12:44
  They want to get this. They want to get to this ACC
• 1:12:47
  championship. Mr. Drones What's going on, my
• 1:12:50
  friend? Mr. Jones, how are you doing
• 1:12:53
  tonight? Good to have you along with us.
• 1:12:56
  And Brian, I am going to pitch back to you now because we
• 1:12:59
  usually do 4. Shelton's not here, so I'm going
• 1:13:02
  to take the two at the end and I know you got one on the
• 1:13:04
  offensive side of the ball. Yeah, it really.
• 1:13:07
  I mean, it's holds true on both sides of the ball.
• 1:13:11
  You got to be effective on 1st downs, stay on schedule as an
• 1:13:14
  offense, and on the other side we need to stop them for being
• 1:13:19
  effective on 1st downs. That way we can get pressure on
• 1:13:22
  that quarterback, make him make some mistakes, get those sacks,
• 1:13:25
  get those interceptions. So that's the key for me.
• 1:13:29
  Go out there and be effective on both sides of the ball on 1st
• 1:13:32
  down. Get us into a situation that's
• 1:13:34
  favorable. Keep them in unfavorable
• 1:13:36
  situations. All right, so I got two.
• 1:13:41
  The first I've kind of already alluded to.
• 1:13:44
  We've got to get them to 3rd down, get them to 3rd down.
• 1:13:48
  Where they seem to struggle for whatever reason, I'm going to
• 1:13:52
  assume, Brian, you tell me if I'm right or am I going down the
• 1:13:56
  right Rd. The reason being that sort of
• 1:13:58
  tempo offense, If you're getting them in the third, they haven't
• 1:14:01
  probably hit a good play right? If if you're getting them to
• 1:14:06
  third, number one, you can't run tempo out of unless you pick up
• 1:14:10
  that first down #2. If you're trying to run the
• 1:14:12
  tempo, that means you've had two plays that have not been what
• 1:14:16
  you would call successful plays. They might have been good enough
• 1:14:21
  to get you in a third and short situation, but they are not what
• 1:14:25
  you really want to see from a tempo, situation, tempo.
• 1:14:27
  You want to be successful on 1st and 2nd.
• 1:14:29
  You want to keep the defense on the heat their heels.
• 1:14:32
  You want any third down you get to to be a third and one or two
• 1:14:36
  yards. There we go.
• 1:14:37
  And if they're if they get it, they're not hitting tempo, it
• 1:14:40
  probably means they did not hit at least A5 plus play.
• 1:14:44
  The second piece, and I said it earlier, we need takeaways.
• 1:14:47
  If you go look back at the pit game and you look at the NC
• 1:14:50
  State game, they turn the ball over multiple times.
• 1:14:54
  I think we need three. I think we need 3 turnovers in
• 1:14:57
  this game and now we got to go make our predictions boys.
• 1:15:02
  Prediction and Our big screeners, which we're going to
• 1:15:04
  talk about, is presented by prize picks.
• 1:15:07
  Our big Screener segment always presented by Prize picks.
• 1:15:09
  Prize Pick, a daily fantasy app where you make entries based on
• 1:15:13
  player projected outcomes. This week I'm going to tell you
• 1:15:15
  what I'm going with. The Jets are playing the
• 1:15:18
  Chargers. Justin Herbert's at 267 1/2.
• 1:15:22
  Go under because The Jets are a really good defense.
• 1:15:26
  Zach Wilson's at 198 1/2. Zach Wilson's not a good
• 1:15:29
  quarterback? Go under.
• 1:15:31
  Make the two unders in that and that should help you make a
• 1:15:34
  little bit of money for the prize picks.
• 1:15:38
  So again prize picks they will match up to any deposit up to
• 1:15:43
  $100 when you sign up using the code BC PIX QR CODE there on the
• 1:15:47
  screen or boundary corner dot BC PIX.
• 1:15:50
  I do not have our records from last week.
• 1:15:52
  I didn't forgot to pull it up. I don't think it was great,
• 1:15:55
  honestly. Mine's never great.
• 1:15:58
  Fatally, Fatally. As always all.
• 1:16:01
  Right. So I'm going to lead this
• 1:16:05
  because as much as my heart wants to do it, my head cannot
• 1:16:10
  do it because I say we need 3 turnovers.
• 1:16:12
  I think we get 2, but I think we lose a war against Louisville at
• 1:16:16
  Louisville 3330. That that stupid line that came
• 1:16:21
  out of 12 1/2, that's already went down to 10.
• 1:16:24
  If I'm betting against the spread, give me the Hokies all
• 1:16:26
  day because I do think we're going to be able to keep up with
• 1:16:29
  them. They have shown they are a good
• 1:16:31
  defense, but they have shown flaws at times.
• 1:16:34
  I do think kind of drones is the most dynamic quarterback they
• 1:16:40
  will have seen all year. Honestly, I don't think they'll
• 1:16:43
  see anybody else like him all year.
• 1:16:45
  So Louisville win, Hokies cover. And I'm sad about that tally.
• 1:16:54
  You know what, before we started talking and before Brian gave me
• 1:16:58
  all of the knowledge that he gave me, I I was with you and
• 1:17:01
  and would have said, you know, the Hokies are cover, but
• 1:17:06
  Louisville to win. But I I'm going to, I'm going to
• 1:17:08
  say the Hokies are going to pull one out.
• 1:17:10
  I'm going to say, you know, I'm, I'm going to go with Hokies.
• 1:17:15
  I don't know. I want to go 20/28/21 is what
• 1:17:19
  I'm going to do. I just feel like.
• 1:17:22
  With our defensive line playing, how they're playing and how
• 1:17:27
  they've been able to get to the quarterback, I don't know if
• 1:17:30
  their quarterback can handle the pressure that's going to come to
• 1:17:32
  him. And I think he's going to turn
• 1:17:33
  the ball over. And I think we may get those 3
• 1:17:35
  picks. I mean, I think we may get those
• 1:17:37
  3 turnovers that you say we need.
• 1:17:39
  And I just think that how our guys have responded, they know
• 1:17:45
  what's at stake and I think we're going to go in and I think
• 1:17:49
  we're going to bring our own guts.
• 1:17:52
  I'm hoping this is the this is what I'm hoping because we've
• 1:17:55
  been a much different team on the road than we've been at
• 1:17:58
  home. So I got AI got a ride with our
• 1:18:01
  guys just because I'm not sold on on Louisville.
• 1:18:04
  Louisville's a good team but Louisville show they got, you
• 1:18:07
  know they've got a great receiver and they've got a good
• 1:18:09
  running game. So if we can at least keep that
• 1:18:14
  in check we got a chance there. So I'm going to go Hokies 2821
• 1:18:18
  all. Right, Brian, what about you,
• 1:18:20
  man? Yeah, I'm going Hokies here too,
• 1:18:25
  to cover. I've got this one coming down to
• 1:18:27
  the wire, man. I think the Hokies are playing
• 1:18:31
  with as much confidence as we've seen in a good while, and I
• 1:18:36
  think that's going to feed it. I think it might just be a
• 1:18:38
  little, little too much there at the end with the home field
• 1:18:41
  advantage. I've got the Hokies losing a
• 1:18:43
  tight 13127 Louisville. I think it's something that you
• 1:18:50
  can still have some solid takeaways from, even in The
• 1:18:53
  Lost, but I'm hoping it goes the way Tally's talking, I tell.
• 1:18:56
  You we we hoping Tally is right on that one and you go and put
• 1:19:02
  it up. We did not get an official.
• 1:19:04
  All we got from Shelton was Virginia Tech.
• 1:19:08
  We did not. We're taking that as a as a
• 1:19:09
  cover, not a win, until we hear otherwise.
• 1:19:12
  Until you. Otherwise, we'll put it out
• 1:19:14
  there and let you know. Once he gives us again, Sheldon
• 1:19:17
  under the weather tonight, not going to be here with us.
• 1:19:19
  All right, as always, we are college football fans, second
• 1:19:23
  after being Hokies fans. And there are actually some good
• 1:19:26
  games on the slate this week. A couple over lappings.
• 1:19:29
  But let's start with the first one.
• 1:19:30
  Brian. I got this one up here.
• 1:19:32
  Kansas State of Texas. Huge game for the Big 12.
• 1:19:36
  Huge game with Oklahoma losing last week.
• 1:19:38
  They're on the verge of losing potentially their playoff spot.
• 1:19:43
  And we got. Kansas State rolling down into
• 1:19:45
  Texas. Kansas State blew the crap out
• 1:19:48
  of Houston 41. Nothing.
• 1:19:51
  I think Texas is obviously Texas is coming off a win and I think
• 1:19:55
  for this one I think Texas is good enough defensively to win
• 1:20:03
  this one by touchdown. I think it's going to be ugly,
• 1:20:06
  low scoring affair, something like 2013 Texas.
• 1:20:13
  Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm going to take Texas as well.
• 1:20:17
  In this game. I didn't really have a score
• 1:20:19
  prediction, but similar to what Curtis is saying, I don't think
• 1:20:23
  it's going to be, you know, super high scoring or or or a
• 1:20:26
  big blowout, but I think Texas will win by a touchdown.
• 1:20:29
  I just don't know the exact number.
• 1:20:34
  Michelle thought the same thing there.
• 1:20:36
  So he has Texas covering here the the five line and so do I.
• 1:20:41
  We're going across the board back-to-back here.
• 1:20:45
  I think it it will be a low scoring affair, but I think it's
• 1:20:47
  going to be something like 2413 Texas.
• 1:20:52
  All right, low scoring affairs there in Austin on Saturday.
• 1:20:56
  Got a big night game down in Tally's neck of the woods Tally.
• 1:21:00
  What's your game of the week, Sir?
• 1:21:02
  Bama and LSU? Man, I remember when this Bama,
• 1:21:05
  LSU game used to be like three to six, six to nine, you know?
• 1:21:12
  What I'm saying we we we saw that game and then they gave it
• 1:21:14
  to us again later in the year, man.
• 1:21:16
  Yeah, it would be dude. It would be some ugly knock down
• 1:21:20
  drag outs between these two teams.
• 1:21:22
  And I don't know if people know a lot about Texas.
• 1:21:24
  I mean about Alabama, LSU they they really hate each other that
• 1:21:29
  is that is two schools that are are a a big rivalry for each
• 1:21:36
  other. So man I got to go I'm going to
• 1:21:39
  go Bama on this man. I mean I just I think Bama is is
• 1:21:44
  hitting their stride. I think they found out similar
• 1:21:48
  to to how we did as far as their quarterback situation.
• 1:21:53
  Who's the quarterback and they've endorsed him.
• 1:22:01
  Froze up. I'm just, I'm going to go
• 1:22:05
  Alabama. I don't know.
• 1:22:06
  I don't have a score prediction, but I'm, I'm going to say
• 1:22:07
  Alabama and they're going to cover.
• 1:22:09
  Cover the four. All righty.
• 1:22:11
  What Shelton got there, Brian? Shelton's going Bama here.
• 1:22:15
  All right, I'm against y'all on this one.
• 1:22:17
  I think I don't know who wins the game, but I think based on
• 1:22:21
  there's been shaky play from Alabama times, There's been
• 1:22:23
  shaky play from LSU at times. Still, to this day, Nick Saban
• 1:22:28
  cannot figure out. Guys who are athletic and
• 1:22:32
  quarterback, he's always struggled.
• 1:22:35
  When you go back a decade ago, he struggled, Tyrod, when they
• 1:22:38
  were out telling us. Same with Logan.
• 1:22:41
  I think LSU is going to cover. Give me the four.
• 1:22:44
  I think you know what, this is probably going to be an
• 1:22:46
  entertaining night game to watch because it is going to be an
• 1:22:48
  8:00 kick. So give me LSU.
• 1:22:51
  Yep. And we're We're both in the same
• 1:22:53
  path there. I took LSU as well.
• 1:22:57
  I just think, as you said, man, they struggle sometimes with
• 1:23:00
  these athletic quarterbacks. LS us got probably one of the
• 1:23:04
  best ones in the country. So give me LSU here.
• 1:23:09
  I think LSU is going to win this one outright.
• 1:23:11
  So Bama will be eliminated from playoff contention here.
• 1:23:16
  Oh, there's going to be a lot of crying if that happened down
• 1:23:19
  here. Man, you'll have to you have to
• 1:23:22
  bring on one of their fans next week so we can just hear it.
• 1:23:25
  All righty. I want whoever calls into some
• 1:23:28
  of those SEC shows. Man, Oh my gosh.
• 1:23:32
  Tell me the truth, All right? Brian, who you got?
• 1:23:35
  I've got Mizzou and Georgia. This line is kind of crazy to
• 1:23:41
  me. I was like, all right.
• 1:23:43
  So if it floated out there at 16, I was like, let's grab that
• 1:23:46
  one because I feel like. Mizzou's kind of shown to be a a
• 1:23:50
  tough out this year, so you know, I'm I'm rolling with
• 1:23:54
  Mizzou here. I think it's going to be a lot
• 1:23:56
  closer than folks are thinking. I do think Georgia has figured
• 1:23:59
  whatever they hadn't figured out at the start of season out, they
• 1:24:02
  look like a legit national championship contender now.
• 1:24:06
  They look like a team that was probably going to make the
• 1:24:09
  playoff but didn't look like they could take GO all the way.
• 1:24:12
  This year. They're starting to look like
• 1:24:14
  that team. They've gelled a little bit.
• 1:24:17
  I think that 16 line is still a little fuzzy though.
• 1:24:19
  I think it's probably about A2 touchdown game, but it doesn't
• 1:24:21
  quite get to that 16. No, it's not.
• 1:24:24
  Y'all Georgia tricked us last week, didn't they?
• 1:24:28
  Oh, 14 1/2 to Florida. Yeah, Florida will hang in and
• 1:24:31
  they beat them by like 26. Yeah, Georgia.
• 1:24:36
  Georgia by 234017, Man, I don't know.
• 1:24:41
  If I had to, if I was putting some money on it, I might not do
• 1:24:43
  it. But I'm going Mizzou on this as
• 1:24:45
  well, Brian, I kind of feel the same way, you know, maybe about
• 1:24:48
  14 points, but you know, two touchdowns at the field goal.
• 1:24:54
  I don't know, man. I don't think Georgia is going
• 1:24:56
  to beat them by that much. Think Georgia wins, but not by,
• 1:24:59
  not by more than 16 all. Right.
• 1:25:01
  What's Sheldon got on this one? Sheldon is riding with us.
• 1:25:04
  Man. You're the odd man out here.
• 1:25:05
  The. Odd man out on this one.
• 1:25:07
  Y'all going to be sitting here after the Hokies pulled the
• 1:25:09
  upset against Louisville. Y'all going to turn over to CBS.
• 1:25:12
  4930 Man, we should have listened to Curtis all grief.
• 1:25:17
  All righty. By the way.
• 1:25:18
  Next game we pull up. This is Sheldon's choice.
• 1:25:21
  Go ahead, pull it up, Brian. Oklahoma.
• 1:25:24
  Oklahoma State. Bethlehem.
• 1:25:26
  Always a crazy game. For the foreseeable future, this
• 1:25:30
  game will not be played with the move.
• 1:25:34
  I'm going to put this strictly on Oklahoma because they the Big
• 1:25:37
  Blue blood. You know Oklahoma State wants to
• 1:25:40
  play them every year. You know they do.
• 1:25:42
  So I'm putting this on Oklahoma. If you're an Oklahoma fan out
• 1:25:45
  there, why why don't you play them every year?
• 1:25:48
  Yeah. Figure it out.
• 1:25:49
  Figure it out. Losing things like this, like we
• 1:25:51
  lost Texas Texas A&M, which we'll get back in a few years
• 1:25:54
  here is sad. But for this game, Oklahoma,
• 1:26:00
  Oklahoma State, Brian, I am not sure what Shelton picked.
• 1:26:04
  He's riding with Oklahoma, man. He's riding with Boomer Sooner,
• 1:26:08
  who are coming off their loss up at Kansas, which.
• 1:26:12
  I I was, did y'all see the end of that game?
• 1:26:14
  I know, Brian, you were doing a bunch of stuff that you see the
• 1:26:16
  end. That was insane.
• 1:26:18
  Yeah, it really was. I picked Kansas to to cover in
• 1:26:21
  that game, though, so I kind of feel good about that, what
• 1:26:25
  happened? But I'm going to go Oklahoma in
• 1:26:27
  this as well. I think Oklahoma's going to be a
• 1:26:30
  little pissed off and they don't come in and take care of
• 1:26:34
  business. But you, Brian.
• 1:26:38
  I got Oklahoma. I think you're going to get a
• 1:26:39
  pissed off Oklahoma. This is a team that they they
• 1:26:44
  might have lost what they're playing for, but they've still
• 1:26:47
  got to go through the schedule went out.
• 1:26:49
  I think they're going to refocus, get back to what they
• 1:26:53
  do best, and I think that's going to be enough against this,
• 1:26:58
  the Pokes over there. Yeah.
• 1:27:01
  And I'm with y'all Oklahoma. I think if they blend with
• 1:27:04
  Kansas, I think this line would be like 8/8 and 1/2 and then you
• 1:27:08
  know, go the other way. But that loss to Kansas is going
• 1:27:11
  to piss them off. Give me Oklahoma.
• 1:27:13
  And we got one last one. USC UW Washington is the
• 1:27:22
  favorite at -5 Bron. Got to switch up the graphic.
• 1:27:26
  That's all right. Not not a problem here.
• 1:27:30
  USC basically had to play for their lives at Cal.
• 1:27:37
  Cal is a team that's struggling. Y'all right now, 450 to 49.
• 1:27:44
  Cal did the right thing. By the way, Cal went for two at
• 1:27:47
  the end. Yeah, they went for two at the
• 1:27:49
  end. You the underdog, you ain't got
• 1:27:51
  nothing to lose. You ain't got nothing to play
• 1:27:52
  for. Go for the win and go for the
• 1:27:54
  win. So here we go for this game.
• 1:27:59
  Brian, USC UW. Who you got?
• 1:28:06
  Dub all the way, man this. This Trojan team has not
• 1:28:10
  impressed me in really any game so far this season.
• 1:28:15
  There hasn't really been one game where they went out there
• 1:28:17
  and dominated the way I thought they would, especially out of
• 1:28:20
  after what they look like most of last season.
• 1:28:24
  They've really underperformed in my eyes all year.
• 1:28:27
  So I'm going with the the Huskies here.
• 1:28:30
  All righty, I'm next. I'm with the Huskies as well on
• 1:28:32
  this one. The Huskies have a They're not
• 1:28:37
  an elite defense. I think they've got enough
• 1:28:39
  defense like we've seen between a couple of the losses issued to
• 1:28:43
  slow Oregon down. Ain't no way USC slowing down
• 1:28:46
  Michael Pennix in that offense, no.
• 1:28:49
  It ain't no way Pennix might win.
• 1:28:52
  Pennix might win the Heisman. He might win.
• 1:28:54
  He might win the Heisman. I'm going, I'm going with the
• 1:28:59
  Huskies as well. I mean, why not?
• 1:29:01
  From what we've seen and what we've seen from USC, lack of
• 1:29:06
  defense, you know, like, why would we think they're going to
• 1:29:10
  stop to hide somebody that's in the Heisman race?
• 1:29:12
  So if Sheldon has anything different than what we see
• 1:29:16
  between us three, we're going to have to have a talk with him.
• 1:29:19
  What do you got? And I'm going to do something
• 1:29:23
  real quick if somebody I caught it. 3IN Rex Parker, one of our
• 1:29:27
  listeners out here, you win for every pick.
• 1:29:29
  So we going to put yours up here.
• 1:29:30
  Rex is with all of us with Texas.
• 1:29:33
  Rex is riding with me and Brian with LSUI ain't the only one.
• 1:29:38
  Rex is riding with Georgia. Rex is going against us.
• 1:29:42
  He thinks this folks are going to take it personal here and
• 1:29:46
  then let's go here. He's with us on UW and he does
• 1:29:49
  say Vt covers Rex. We appreciate your input.
• 1:29:52
  If I'd have caught it early, I'd have put them up every time.
• 1:29:54
  Oh, by the way, thank you, TIB, for putting this up.
• 1:29:57
  Kansas has more wins all time over Oklahoma than Oakley State
• 1:30:01
  does. That's a tough one to believe.
• 1:30:03
  That's that's a fun fact right there.
• 1:30:05
  That is a fun fact. That's.
• 1:30:06
  A fun fact. Y'all out there giving us some
• 1:30:08
  tidbits, boys. Y'all got the Twittersphere up.
• 1:30:11
  Anything happening? What's happening in the games?
• 1:30:14
  I couldn't. I couldn't have all the
• 1:30:15
  bandwidth inside the room here tonight because 26. 2614 lines
• 1:30:21
  up, but the Raiders have the ball and they're driving about
• 1:30:26
  basketball game. I ain't got that up.
• 1:30:29
  I ain't watching nothing right now, but I know the Lakers
• 1:30:31
  started playing at 9:30 and I'm like, I'm expecting us to lose
• 1:30:37
  for some reason. We can't.
• 1:30:38
  We don't like playing at the beginning of the year, so.
• 1:30:42
  Yeah, we we tend to not figure it out till sometime just before
• 1:30:44
  Christmas. And then we're like, all right,
• 1:30:46
  we'll start playing man all. Right.
• 1:30:47
  By the way, Rangers won 3-1 tonight to take a 21 lead.
• 1:30:51
  I guess that just wrapped up. I'm Hey, the pitch clock works.
• 1:30:56
  The game started at eight O 6. It's under 3 hours.
• 1:31:01
  Put some more up here that we're seeing folks throwing their
• 1:31:03
  picks out. Yeah, my my question is why is
• 1:31:10
  LeBron James playing like 26 minutes at the beginning?
• 1:31:13
  Shouldn't it be like play heavy the first month, then light for
• 1:31:17
  a while, then heavy again? I don't know what we doing, man,
• 1:31:20
  but he is our game. Yeah, we won one.
• 1:31:24
  We beat. We beat the Suns without two of
• 1:31:26
  their stars. It's still almost lost.
• 1:31:29
  I mean, they had to rant, but they didn't have really anybody
• 1:31:31
  else, right? Wanting to OK.
• 1:31:37
  I mean, we've been in every game.
• 1:31:38
  I guess that's one thing you can say.
• 1:31:39
  I mean, yeah, it wasn't, it wasn't like we got smoked in any
• 1:31:43
  game so far. I.
• 1:31:44
  Mean. Hey, Tally, you sure you want to
• 1:31:46
  turn it on? Y'all up right now.
• 1:31:48
  No, I'm not going to turn it on. I'm just going to find out.
• 1:31:50
  I'm going to go to sleep and wake up and see if we want it.
• 1:31:54
  Everybody. Next week when we come back and
• 1:31:57
  talk about the game, he's going to tell us he did not go to
• 1:32:00
  sleep that night and he stayed up till 12:00 watching the
• 1:32:03
  Lakers game probably. Garoppolo just missed a wide
• 1:32:06
  fucking open Devante Adams. He'd still be running right now.
• 1:32:09
  Oh. Man.
• 1:32:11
  Well, I don't think I'm playing either.
• 1:32:12
