• 2:02
  Yep. We're going to be leading off
• 2:03
  tonight guys with Keith Moon conlon offensive lineman in
• 2:08
  state and Brian's former offensive line coach down at
• 2:12
  Hampton Sydney and just so you guys kind of know the background
• 2:16
  on key. He's won three birds that played
• 2:19
  for paternal and Penn State who was a starter on the rotational.
• 2:24
  He was a starter on the 1994 undefeated team for me and
• 2:29
  Brian. Again, that's the ages we were
• 2:30
  starting to get in the sports. . Collins, kijana, Carter.
• 2:34
  Bobby. Engram Kyle.
• 2:36
  Brady unbelievable. All Big Ten in 1995.
• 2:41
  He got drafted to 96 out of for the offensive lineman from Penn
• 2:45
  State in the sixth round by bronzed Colts.
• 2:48
  So even more of a place in Bryant artist coach and he
• 2:51
  played for his favorite team on did after retiring.
• 2:54
  As some neck injuries where we went back into coaching for some
• 2:57
  years, again for Brian and then he moved back to Penn State
• 3:01
  where He hosts a weekly two times a week radio show talking
• 3:06
  about Penn State football. So for us or for Brian, it was
• 3:10
  just like my old coach does something up here, let's get him
• 3:13
  on. Let's talk about prime little
• 3:15
  bit of everything. So Why not?
• 3:18
  Let you introduce? And all right, here we go, guys.
• 3:21
  He's coached him, but you guys can call him goon.
• 3:24
  It's Keith goon conlon. What's going on, fellas?
• 3:28
  How are you good? How you doing tonight coach?
• 3:32
  Good, buddy. How are you?
• 3:33
  Don't call me coach and call me Keith.
• 3:35
  Call me goon, where we like, I told you what had been sitting.
• 3:39
  If I can call Joe Paterno Joe, you can call me Keith.
• 3:44
  Have you always been a long time?
• 3:46
  And I appreciate you coming home with us.
• 3:48
  It's been, it's been a kind of a wild ride for us as hokey fans
• 3:52
  the last few weeks. So kind of good to get a little
• 3:55
  bit of the back story here, on our, on our guy pry.
• 4:00
  Yeah, and you guys got a good one.
• 4:02
  I he's always loved his, his defense the way he coached, how
• 4:07
  his kids played and, you know, historically were up here where
• 4:11
  linebacker you. And we could pepper in a lot of
• 4:13
  good defense alignment, but we really never really had like
• 4:16
  great defensive backs here. I know my friends are going to
• 4:20
  call me, pissed off screaming at me but oh well we didn't have we
• 4:24
  don't have that many guys going to the NFL as defensive backs
• 4:26
  right now, but Brett really changed.
• 4:29
  It was the coach I really changed and did a great job with
• 4:34
  a coach Pride was people want to come to say Pride, that's what I
• 4:38
  would call and pry but I do know want to call him Coach prize.
• 4:41
  So coach bride was he was the the he was there all throughout
• 4:47
  coach Franklin's career here and he's been the man as a defensive
• 4:51
  coordinator for the last few years and you guys have got no
• 4:54
  him know his scheme. They played well they flourished
• 4:58
  under it. Where's our Our offense has
• 5:00
  really fluttered the last four years because you know, again,
• 5:03
  we've had four offensive coordinators of four years and
• 5:06
  that would coach pride get in there and always being that
• 5:08
  stalwart all defense knowing you're going to make some plays
• 5:12
  and you know as a Penn State fan and as an alumni as a former
• 5:16
  football player you know I'm sort of pissed off at last
• 5:20
  season because we had a hell of a defense that got ruined
• 5:23
  because our offense sucked. You know we couldn't we couldn't
• 5:26
  get we couldn't do anything on offense and you wasted at you
• 5:29
  Instead of unbelievable defensive year of being the
• 5:33
  season that they had and the stats that they had were
• 5:37
  unbelievable. I mean, we, I mean, I want to
• 5:39
  throw up right now. We lost to an Illinois team.
• 5:43
  Okay, we had a nine overtime game, we couldn't get three
• 5:46
  yards after the second overtime. You had to go for two.
• 5:50
  We had six chances and we never got three yards coach prize
• 5:54
  defense gave up 10 points. That game hen a whole game as as
• 6:00
  bad as our offense was Illinois. Is it exactly you know that I'm
• 6:04
  not the 1940 lion running around out there but you know his
• 6:08
  defense kept them in that game and the fact that they couldn't
• 6:11
  punch one of those plays. In to give them the victory
• 6:14
  really hurt. And was just, you know, that was
• 6:17
  the beginning of the end of my opinion for this season up here
• 6:21
  and you know where it's parked. Big Boy, come on now, you know
• 6:23
  where it starts it starts up front and they're not they're
• 6:26
  not getting the horses up front so we can run the ball.
• 6:28
  So our quarterback has no time to throw the ball because
• 6:31
  they're not they're not they don't fear our run games.
• 6:34
  So you know it's put it's been a tough few years because our
• 6:38
  offensive line is not really flourished or progressed the way
• 6:42
  in the Of our team has. I mean we have I mean
• 6:46
  historically you think of Penn State you think of offensive
• 6:49
  linemen linebackers a defect like that and you know failed
• 6:52
  running backs. I mean that's where the NFL was.
• 6:54
  I mean there was a lot of guys going there fell but we were
• 6:56
  pumping 10, 15 guys. In the year, in the NFL we are
• 7:01
  pumping more skilled players in. I mean, I tell a story all the
• 7:05
  time when I got to Penn State out of there was five recruiting
• 7:08
  classes. I was my class and therefore
• 7:10
  above us. 16 guys. My offensive line were in went
• 7:14
  to the NFL 16. It's not of like 25 guys.
• 7:19
  I mean, the nowadays you get to in the NFL in three classes,
• 7:23
  you're happy, you know, and that's where it's changed
• 7:26
  because our I mean up here we're putting a ton of skill players.
• 7:31
  In the NFL, we have more wide receivers in the NFL right now.
• 7:34
  I think we do offensive lineman and that's not what we are, what
• 7:37
  we were and you know again it goes back to the boys up front.
• 7:42
  They got to get it done for me. if we're going, if we're going
• 7:43
  to succeed on offense, I got theories and I think that it's
• 7:49
  you're not practice that. I mean, you know, you don't
• 7:51
  probably use the coach. I didn't we did we did beat the
• 7:54
  tar out of you guys but we practice we hit.
• 7:57
  I mean nowadays, you know, you can't have back-to-back food,
• 8:00
  you can't have back-to-back two-a-days and camps, you can't
• 8:03
  you know have back-to-back full pad practices where you're going
• 8:05
  to go live against the defense a line and then linebackers a
• 8:09
  front seven or scrimmage you.you're not having that.
• 8:12
  Now even in the NFL, you know, you don't have good offense, a
• 8:15
  lot of plants or third or fourth Week of the year.
• 8:17
  And that is, you know, it's worked its way down into the
• 8:22
  college ranks. And, you know, I don't know if
• 8:25
  you've ever done any kind of college recruiting but literally
• 8:28
  the hardest thing to do in college is recruiting offensive
• 8:30
  lineman because you got a guy who's my size or six foot eight,
• 8:33
  three hundred pound or 225 pounds in high school.
• 8:37
  You know, I can just pick it up and throw them around, you know,
• 8:39
  you don't know how athletic, I even I was athletic.
• 8:42
  That's why I got all scholarships but you didn't know
• 8:44
  if I was top if I was good because I I was playing against
• 8:47
  guys were much smaller than me. Yeah and it's so hard to recruit
• 8:51
  Talent right now because it is an offensive lineman that good
• 8:55
  or are they just that much bigger than anybody else?
• 8:57
  So they get to college. Now, you're going to get
• 8:59
  somebody your own size. You're going to smack you in the
• 9:01
  teeth. And that's how you're going to
• 9:02
  react to that. Absolutely.
• 9:06
  It is something you're singing every, every year every year,
• 9:09
  and you talk about the NFL, they don't do the full practices
• 9:12
  anymore during the week. So I mean, I think we could go
• 9:15
  on about this for hours. So, go ahead, Brian book.
• 9:18
  The key thing again, we're going to have him back on to talk
• 9:21
  about offensive line that you guys get deep into it.
• 9:24
  So I'm going to pull us back in. That's what Brian has me here
• 9:26
  for Keith. Let's, let's talk about this
• 9:30
  during your tenure and during his tenure at Penn State, did
• 9:33
  you ever have an opportunity? To actually interview prop for
• 9:35
  your show. I never really interview them.
• 9:38
  We don't want out. I don't really do all that.
• 9:40
  I haven't spent much time with him.
• 9:44
  Golf course, just going to do celebrity stuff like that and
• 9:48
  you know just sitting there picking his brain, he's a
• 9:50
  down-to-earth guy. I love the hell out of him
• 9:52
  because he is honest and sincere.
• 9:54
  I did I one thing I have noticed about him and I don't know if
• 9:58
  it's the defensive line that does it, but they rotate the
• 10:01
  hell out of a play about 12 to 15 guys up front of the front
• 10:04
  seven. They really do.
• 10:06
  I mean that was As an offensive lineman, it was always the
• 10:10
  hardest thing to do was to go against the player who bought it
• 10:13
  every play, you know, you got some slobs out there who, you
• 10:17
  know, would take a playoff here or there and, you know, you got
• 10:21
  a guy who is coming in fresh every third play.
• 10:25
  He's going to go 110 miles an hour.
• 10:27
  And that's the hardest guys to block and hardest guys that go
• 10:29
  again. So, expect not to have one that
• 10:33
  type of guy expect to have, he's going to be grooming one or two
• 10:36
  or three of those guys. And he loves the defensive end
• 10:39
  pressure and then the big the big guys in the middle get the
• 10:42
  little bit of push up front and cleaning up the quarterbacks,
• 10:44
  but I got to go back. He loves bringing pressure, I
• 10:47
  mean I don't think Penn State is Corner Blitz than in the 150
• 10:51
  years into playing football as much as they have the last two
• 10:53
  or three years, that is a staple of a bud.
• 10:57
  And if you're the boundary Corner in that defense be ready
• 11:01
  because you have every responsibility but her bring it.
• 11:04
  Yeah. I mean and I love that because
• 11:09
  when you again you you just made me ask you about bringing six.
• 11:13
  It sounds like his adjustment beat.
• 11:14
  We're going to bring seven, eventually, you're not going to
• 11:17
  have enough to walk, cause we're going to pop your quarterback or
• 11:20
  you're going to make a mistake, which is again, I think that's
• 11:24
  what we dealt with for so long and he's last few years with but
• 11:29
  not being there. Me and Brian had the absolute
• 11:32
  privilege of going to buzz last game.
• 11:35
  In Lane Stadium, where he pitched a shutout against Pitt,
• 11:38
  28, nothing in the rain in. It was Mastery that day so it
• 11:44
  was it was wild to see, but let me ask this And you've kind of
• 11:51
  hit on it, so I think I know where you're going to go with
• 11:53
  it. How does he handle when
• 11:55
  adversity is when you're not winning big Ten's and go in the
• 11:58
  Rose Bowl kind of like this season.
• 12:00
  Because even though his defense was lights out, I mean, how he
• 12:05
  held down Ohio State. I watched a little bit of that
• 12:08
  game, how he held down, that offense was absolutely
• 12:11
  impressive, but, but when it's adversity in, like you say, you
• 12:16
  give up 10 points to Illinois, you stop them all, but one time
• 12:19
  and Over time. What's he like when that
• 12:23
  happens? What is it that they didn't quit
• 12:26
  the whole year in my opinion. There was there were certain
• 12:28
  players that I suspected quit but as a whole, those guys
• 12:32
  played in, you know, anybody who's played football in the
• 12:36
  past and if you, if you were so dominant on one side of the
• 12:40
  ball, IE when I was playing for Penn State, our offense was
• 12:44
  dominant. So, you know, we would if we
• 12:48
  were It would be a little bit of angst going on amongst the
• 12:52
  offense and the defense a little bit.
• 12:54
  I mean, the fact that they even played in one games after that,
• 12:58
  Illinois, game one that defense should have.
• 13:01
  They literally should have been fighting the offense in the
• 13:03
  locker room at halftime in my opinion.
• 13:06
  You know how, you know what I'm talking about.
• 13:07
  And if it's like yeah we'll just do us a favor.
• 13:10
  We're Bustin. Our asses out here.
• 13:12
  Help us out. Get a score or give me a
• 13:14
  touchdown. Give me a field goal.
• 13:15
  Hold of, you know, this and them.
• 13:18
  So the fact that he kept those guys playing as hard as they
• 13:21
  did, even going into that Ohio State game, you know, that was
• 13:24
  coming off of a horrible, two or three game span versus Iowa
• 13:28
  versus Illinois and just a bad bad, bad losses, but to have
• 13:32
  them recoup and go out there and play the way they did was great,
• 13:36
  having Michigan. They were beating Michigan until
• 13:38
  the last three minutes of that game.
• 13:40
  And, you know, it's it was nothing to do with, you know, it
• 13:43
  was a full key type of play that beat us and that Michigan beat
• 13:46
  us with Wasn't anything to do with them, but he kept those
• 13:50
  guys playing hard all year even when our offense was so inept
• 13:54
  and he kept those guys going even again like yeah there
• 14:01
  should have been angst amongst the offense and the defense and
• 14:03
  I you know I didn't see it on the sidelines or I didn't see it
• 14:07
  on television or hear anything about it.
• 14:10
  But I know what I would have done if I was a defensive player
• 14:12
  and we had just lost an eye, never tell you to get into it, a
• 14:16
  2117 mind, you know, There Will Be Blood in the locker room and
• 14:19
  it wouldn't just be me would be all of us.
• 14:21
  Yeah, yeah it's wild. I've been holding a locker room
• 14:26
  together. Like that is definitely has to
• 14:28
  be hard especially with. I mean we experienced some of
• 14:31
  that with the with the Hokies this year.
• 14:34
  You know, the season kind of started off defense was playing
• 14:36
  well offense, couldn't get it going in towards the end defense
• 14:40
  started, LED things away offense settled in a little bit on the
• 14:43
  ground game, but the guys kept fighting, I I'll credit JC with
• 14:49
  after Fuente was like go kind of holding that locker room
• 14:51
  together and you know going into the Commonwealth cup and getting
• 14:54
  one from UVA there to close things out.
• 14:57
  But let's talk about something else a little bit here.
• 14:59
  You know, we talked about adversity.
• 15:01
  How does how does pry handle the the success is he more kind of
• 15:06
  even Keel? Or does he kind of let his
• 15:07
  emotions hang out there like, we known Blood Falls every past?
• 15:11
  But every experience I've ever had with him was he was even
• 15:13
  kill the whole time. He could have been You know,
• 15:15
  maybe celebrating that beer or an extra beer or two after a
• 15:19
  game here and there, but it was always about getting on the next
• 15:23
  game. I'm moving on.
• 15:24
  It was after a bad loss that I can.
• 15:26
  We got to get moving on. You can't dwell on your losses,
• 15:29
  too much. You can't dwell on your wins as
• 15:30
  much. So, yeah, I noticed one thing
• 15:33
  about Coach, Frank of the his staff up here, which we'd ever
• 15:35
  really had a pair of these guys are Dynamic recruiters, and they
• 15:39
  coach Frey is getting a lot, they're here and they're going
• 15:42
  to find these. The Superstar players had to go
• 15:44
  to fit there. Program, you know, and they're
• 15:47
  going to be a fresh program and are going to want, you know,
• 15:49
  they're going to want to play their guy, so he's going to have
• 15:52
  very good recruiting classes. The next few years because
• 15:55
  wanting works his tail off at at recruiting.
• 15:57
  He's going to bring the guys in and guys are going to go there
• 16:00
  and play because they want to play for.
• 16:01
  You know, he said I'm going to play his first or second year
• 16:04
  guys that he recruited type of thing.
• 16:06
  You know you never want to think that but it's sort of true, you
• 16:09
  know, if there's a guy been there for four years, we've got
• 16:12
  one more year left, you know, he could help you go out in this.
• 16:15
  Scheme. But, you know, you want.
• 16:16
  Sure. It's the future you're worried
• 16:18
  about and I think that's what his biggest asset is that he can
• 16:23
  recruit. He can coach and these guys play
• 16:25
  hard for him. Yeah, that's probably doubly
• 16:28
  true for the Hokies because we've had so many opt-outs here
• 16:31
  and some transfer portal issues in the past.
• 16:34
  We've got probably 19 guys, on the current roster between
• 16:38
  opt-outs and seniors and everything else that are kind of
• 16:42
  moving out of the program coming in, Schools.
• 16:46
  We're going to have the young guys are going to have
• 16:48
  opportunities, especially, guys that are enrolled.
• 16:50
  We got, I think 22 in this class.
• 16:52
  Half of them are enrolling early.
• 16:55
  So we're going to have guys that are going to get some
• 16:57
  opportunity in the in the spring here, too.
• 16:59
  So it'll be nice to see him. Some of those guys that he had a
• 17:02
  roulette. Cause I know a couple of the
• 17:03
  guys that that were in our class, he had looked at when he
• 17:07
  was at Penn State Gunner, Givens was probably the biggest one
• 17:12
  there. Yeah, I mean the whole transfer
• 17:16
  portal thing. I mean, I talked about the coach
• 17:18
  Franklin has bought in the number of six recruiting class
• 17:20
  in the country. You know, and he's had top ten,
• 17:23
  the last three or four years so it's like a whole transfer
• 17:26
  portal. It's he has to recruit and then
• 17:29
  you know, coach will learn good for.
• 17:30
  I will learn this and he's doing it now but you literally read
• 17:34
  recruiting your team every year and that's just it's just such a
• 17:38
  different game. Than we know that you guys grew
• 17:43
  up at that. I played in you guys play in and
• 17:45
  it's nowhere even close and, you know, to get off the ride, my
• 17:50
  horse hair a little bit. And say, you know, after Rio,
• 17:54
  the signing day Fiasco down at Jackson, State Florida State,
• 17:57
  you know, after a 1.5 million dollar deals remote from a
• 18:01
  Barstool Sports transfer, you know, a kid drops Florida State
• 18:05
  to go to Jackson State. Okay, let's try if you want to
• 18:08
  go there. That's fine.
• 18:08
  But it was money that made him go there.
• 18:10
  R. So the days of us experiencing
• 18:12
  and loving college football, that you know, 5, 10, 15, 20,
• 18:16
  30, 40 years ago. Those days are over, man, and
• 18:19
  it's sad to think about what this is, the where it is, this
• 18:23
  is where we are at right now, and you got a young coach right
• 18:27
  now. Who understands the game,
• 18:28
  understand recruiting, he's dynamic as hell.
• 18:30
  So he will take advantage that transfer portal and bring
• 18:33
  players it for you guys. And I think I'm going to go
• 18:36
  Keith what you just said about using the transfer portal and
• 18:39
  having his guys Is many is where does the Cobra thing wasn't guys
• 18:44
  getting extra years and having more scholarships?
• 18:46
  But it's Brian has already said, as many guys leaving Coach
• 18:49
  Brown, is going to be actually, he's going to be able to go to
• 18:52
  the portal and find his guys, you know, he's going to be able
• 18:55
  to say I recruited this kid. Two years ago, he went to
• 18:59
  Michigan State, but now he's in the portal.
• 19:01
  I'm picking up my phone. I'm calling them because you
• 19:03
  still usable have his phone number man.
• 19:06
  Yeah, exactly. And, you know, they do in for
• 19:09
  him and You take Michigan State this year?
• 19:12
  I know you guys lost to them. Did anybody see them wanting any
• 19:16
  more than five or six games in the way Bell?
• 19:20
  Pucker hit the portal found his guys to put in certain
• 19:23
  positions, going and getting Kenneth Walker from Wake Forest
• 19:27
  the opportunities. There in every time you hear
• 19:31
  coach prop, talk of our interviews, who was at what we
• 19:34
  call Tech talk live, he talks about the portal, he is going to
• 19:38
  have specific eyes focused on the portal.
• 19:40
  So, There's no doubt and you and for me it for us is fans you
• 19:44
  kind of love it because you know if he doesn't like what he sees
• 19:48
  we currently have on roster. He's going to go fishing for
• 19:51
  them and it's not going to take long to put his team together.
• 19:55
  Yeah, we have a new basketball coach up here and and we had
• 19:59
  talked about how he went out and got four or five guys off the
• 20:02
  transfer portal and it's the same way with the football
• 20:04
  portal and that is okay. You know what you know, maybe
• 20:07
  you guys need a left tackle. So there's three guys out there.
• 20:10
  You got Go out and recruit, you know, you got to go to lot.
• 20:14
  Easier to build your team rather than going out going to a high
• 20:19
  school and saying, hey we we need a left tackle, we need you
• 20:21
  in two years. So I got a question for you,
• 20:25
  think about like, Say you spend ten million dollars in
• 20:29
  recruiting right now. High School.
• 20:31
  Recruiting you may as well drop it down to five million dollars,
• 20:35
  High School recruiting and five million dollars transfer portal.
• 20:38
  And that's where we're at right now.
• 20:40
  What? So why would you spend the
• 20:41
  majority of your time and your staffs expertise out there?
• 20:47
  You have to do the high school recruiting.
• 20:49
  Yes, you have to do that but you could also go that transfer
• 20:52
  portal and pick what you want and you know the transfer portal
• 20:56
  in the ni L things changing. Game a little bit because it's a
• 20:59
  lot easier to get rid of guys to it's like hey you know, it's not
• 21:02
  working out here, why don't you jump in that portal?
• 21:04
  You know, one of those I played you know, if a kid was a bust,
• 21:09
  he was there for four or five years, no doubt you were, you
• 21:11
  were stuck with you and nowadays.
• 21:14
  It's not what's not working out you needed, you just get out,
• 21:17
  get the hell out of here, and that's good and bad.
• 21:20
  You know what, you know, coach Frey could go out right now and
• 21:24
  he can pick up whatever he is, he could go food shopping in the
• 21:27
  grocery. A store right now and pick out
• 21:29
  all the ingredients of the stool.
• 21:30
  He wants to make Absolutely, I think that's the crazy thing
• 21:36
  about the, the transfer portal is that, you know, we're seeing
• 21:40
  the problem that the Hokies have had is roster management.
• 21:43
  Overall, we like, we've been a little bit too dependent on the
• 21:46
  transfer portal to even have what I would consider a
• 21:52
  reasonable roster between. I mean, the quarterback position
• 21:56
  is probably the biggest one going into this offseason where
• 21:58
  we just had Braxton Burmeister, hit the transfer portal, knock
• 22:03
  skater. Back up at the transfer portal.
• 22:05
  So we got another kid, that transferred from a, and him a
• 22:10
  year ago, but he did, and two more to the transfer portal in
• 22:15
  one, who tore it up at Tennessee.
• 22:17
  So you talked about lobsterman and then there's other players.
• 22:20
  Like we had a kid, go to Central Michigan, and I know that's G5
• 22:23
  because you're pimping, Cleo pembleton, tore up, Central,
• 22:26
  Michigan. I feel like we're coming off a
• 22:29
  staff that it was like, apparently, like the kid that
• 22:32
  went to Central Michigan. Ian.
• 22:35
  Like he ran good routes exp. He was Dynamic, but he had
• 22:38
  struggles catching in. It always irritates.
• 22:41
  You, you see this kid? Catching everything up.
• 22:42
  There is like, you didn't want to take the time to work with
• 22:45
  that kid. He showed you, he was Dynamic
• 22:48
  with the ball in his hands. He had good route running
• 22:50
  skills, he could punt return in, he couldn't catch the ball, his
• 22:54
  freshman year he's an 18 year old kid and it's like well gee
• 22:57
  at the portal head back home and you see this kid on Wednesday
• 23:01
  nights. What one way of seeing that he
• 23:03
  had three touchdowns One offer on one off the pot, return went
• 23:06
  off and had like 300 yards total so it drives me crazy.
• 23:10
  Let me hold on. We settled down here.
• 23:12
  For we go, like to Curtis awesome.
• 23:23
  Now it's not official but it's unofficial.
• 23:28
  Power. Bonds going to be joining us as
• 23:30
  the offensive coordinator. Not sure if it's going to be a
• 23:32
  CO type role or what. But up to Penn State just a
• 23:36
  couple years ago, he was The Coho.
• 23:38
  See, he was the tight ends coach for man, some really good tight
• 23:42
  ends that feeling with had been on my fantasy team.
• 23:45
  This year helping me out here and there but what's the feeling
• 23:51
  out of Happy Valley with Boeing as a coach in a recruiter?
• 23:56
  Oh, he was great recruiter, no doubt about that.
• 23:59
  He be he left. He you know what could have
• 24:03
  named Joe Moore and I know we talked about it.
• 24:04
  Free pre on the pre-show. But Joe Moorhead, Mississippi
• 24:07
  State Oregon. Now, he's a believe it did he
• 24:10
  take Akron? Is that who he tell?
• 24:11
  Ya? Took Akron.
• 24:12
  Okay, so he's down there now, but, you know, that's who Tyler
• 24:15
  was learning from with was Joe more per head and then he
• 24:18
  actually left to went, though, he actually went to Fordham
• 24:22
  where Moorhead was coaching before he came to Penn State.
• 24:24
  So, Heads up, he's very good offensively, he's a fantastic
• 24:29
  recruiter. He's at the Jacksonville Jaguars
• 24:32
  right now. So he must be pretty good for
• 24:33
  urban to hire him to an NFL staff.
• 24:35
  So but you know, he took that his head and brain of a good
• 24:39
  cook, try have a good relationship, I guess for him,
• 24:42
  bring him on as the o.c. down there with you guys.
• 24:44
  Hopefully and I personally think he'll do a great job.
• 24:48
  He's a good man also but he's also a really, really good
• 24:51
  recruiter. So I'm going to tell you guys
• 24:53
  that the future is very bright down there in Blacksburg Okay.
• 24:57
  Yeah I wanted to ask this. I know you know he was carosi
• 25:02
  and 29th year. 2019 I guess he called the the bowl game that
• 25:07
  you're right. When Ricky Ronnie went to
• 25:10
  whoever you riding with Old Dominion.
• 25:12
  Yeah and then I guess 2020 was there a reason that he decided
• 25:18
  to take the job other than Urban Came Calling or like what was
• 25:22
  The Whispers out there and State College?
• 25:26
  Well, they had that he had probably been passed over twice
• 25:28
  now for that offense of coordinator because again, we've
• 25:31
  had for four years up here. So he was the replacement for
• 25:34
  Ronnie and then they went out and they picked up the guy from
• 25:37
  Minnesota who really didn't work out well and but I think that, I
• 25:44
  mean, I don't know for a fact I don't know anything I've ever
• 25:47
  heard any rumor of it but you know he probably felt like he
• 25:49
  was passed over and then he need to get some more experience out
• 25:53
  there and he went down to Jacksonville work with Urban You
• 25:56
  know, who would have thought that we're in this position with
• 25:59
  a reminder that, you know, when he took that job last year.
• 26:04
  Yeah, I thought that it wasn't going to be good for him
• 26:06
  long-term. I didn't think it would be this
• 26:08
  much of a clown show that he's firing.
• 26:12
  It seemed like everything with the girls at the boys stuff in
• 26:17
  the, in the locker room. I mean, or his tenure ever, he
• 26:23
  couldn't get to work. The treatment did.
• 26:26
  I was gonna call Trudeau had more wins the NFL to him, he did
• 26:29
  and he lasted long, it's impressive, that's all into this
• 26:33
  to think about absolutely. Abso-freakin'-lutely.
• 26:38
  Hey man for another show because he has a 50 million dollar
• 26:42
  contract they said they're not going to pay.
• 26:44
  So did get ready for those fireworks down there before?
• 26:46
  Oh yeah, that's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 26:47
  There. The counter Sue and it's going
• 26:49
  to be ugly. All everything's going to come
• 26:50
  out. It is is what he wants that
• 26:53
  money. They're going to say, well, you
• 26:54
  did this and you did this, and you did this.
• 26:57
  That's in a court of law. So it's gonna be stressful and
• 27:02
  just us about to get official, it will put it on the record.
• 27:06
  Hey, but you know what? I'll say for you guys up there
• 27:08
  I'll get Franklin credit at least he is willing to move on
• 27:12
  from overseas if it's not working and I'm hoping Brent's
• 27:16
  that type of guy to like it as much as we're excited about
• 27:19
  Tyler, if he's struggling, I hope he takes James's thing.
• 27:23
  Okay, we need to move on because unfortunately for us is Virginia
• 27:27
  Tech fans, who really the last 15-plus years, that's always
• 27:32
  been our issue. You talked about having
• 27:34
  struggles on offense that was the Through us both defense,
• 27:39
  given up eight, nine points, a game and losing multiple games a
• 27:42
  year because they hold the team to 10 or 13 and we can't get the
• 27:46
  14. So I'm hoping fry takes that
• 27:50
  from obviously one of his, you know, I wouldn't say buddy, one
• 27:54
  of his mentor's and James it says you got to move on from
• 27:57
  guys when they aren't being successful.
• 28:00
  And You know, that's my feeling that just because a deal with it
• 28:05
  so long. Yeah, it's a bit the big thing
• 28:08
  that we always had is that we had some decent offenses, but it
• 28:10
  was always like it was in spite of the tell.
• 28:14
  Like we had really good talented and skilled positions and
• 28:17
  quarterback and an occasion offensive line.
• 28:19
  But we just the offense as a whole just could not get it
• 28:23
  going, consistently me, we had several, you know, really good
• 28:28
  running backs, guys. That played in the NFL wide
• 28:31
  receivers, have played in the NFL.
• 28:32
  FL offensive lineman played in fell on the same team and just
• 28:36
  averaging 20 points, 25 points, a game like, you can't win like
• 28:40
  that in the ACC Paterno and Frank Beamer loyalty to your
• 28:47
  guys and keeping it. The same staff for 25. 30 years,
• 28:50
  we're never going to see them again, boys.
• 28:52
  And that those days are over and it's good and bad, you know,
• 28:55
  there's no doubting me. You, you know, there is too much
• 28:58
  turnover in football. But like we just said, I said
• 29:01
  about that sign. A stuff that days of football,
• 29:04
  that we knew and we loved. And we play, they're long gone.
• 29:07
  So we got to figure it out. And again, you guys got a guy
• 29:10
  who understands the the transfer portal understands recruiting
• 29:15
  understands kids nowadays, you know what they want?
• 29:17
  He knows it's no longer going to play in Blacksburg Virginia Tech
• 29:23
  because you want to play for Virginia Tech.
• 29:25
  It's just for you Tech is going to be my best opportunity to get
• 29:28
  rid of the NFL. And that's the way these kids
• 29:30
  think, right now it could be a Seven string offensive guard who
• 29:33
  thinks he has NFL aspirations and you know it's crazy but this
• 29:38
  is the way these kids are nowadays and I think the coach
• 29:40
  all the coaches nowadays they understand that and the faster
• 29:43
  that people will learn that the quickly returned around will be
• 29:47
  yeah. Yeah.
• 29:49
  I definitely agree with you there.
• 29:50
  I think, you know, if you're thinking about it from the same
• 29:53
  mindset that that folks were approaching it in the 2000s and
• 29:57
  the 90s. I mean, it's it seemed like 2010
• 30:00
  was kind of the big shift when When things kind of went from
• 30:05
  from one mindset to the other and then it's only gotten added
• 30:08
  onto with the transfer portal and then again, with within IL
• 30:12
  this last year and, you know, me and Curtis always talk like and
• 30:17
  IL could be something that is an asset.
• 30:20
  But because the NCAA just drug their feet and Drug their feet
• 30:23
  and then just said, all right, you guys figure it out and now
• 30:27
  we're just out of like it's such a clown show right now,
• 30:30
  everybody trying to figure out are you how we're To navigate in
• 30:32
  this this kind of new over monitoring it?
• 30:35
  Yeah, no this one, I'm going to give you a five million dollar
• 30:40
  deal. What?
• 30:41
  Kid is going to say no to that. Nobody, nobody nobody, you know.
• 30:45
  And then the sad part is the sad part will be.
• 30:49
  When that kid is terrible as freshman year, they're going to
• 30:51
  be like, you don't have a deal anymore, son.
• 30:55
  Oklahoma, what the hell was? All right?
• 30:58
  Oh yeah. It's just not good, it's not
• 31:33
  good at all. It's it's I understand the point
• 31:37
  of it. Listen, everybody got exploited
• 31:40
  when you were in college. I get it.
• 31:41
  You know it's what happens and the school makes money off of
• 31:45
  you and you get nothing I get it.
• 31:46
  Just what about giving every 85 scholarship kid five thousand
• 31:51
  dollars a month and just add that into the scholarship money
• 31:55
  and then you don't have anybody going out there because This is
• 31:58
  what's going to happen. You're going to have the left
• 32:00
  tackle. Who is going after and I see
• 32:04
  money but the Star Quarterback and running back.
• 32:06
  Get that money, you think that guy's going to be happy about
• 32:09
  that and you think that's going to be okay in the locker room.
• 32:12
  So the big boys up front are going to get anything that's
• 32:15
  going to be your running backs, your quarterback from your star
• 32:17
  linebackers. That's just the nature of the
• 32:20
  game. So the big boys up front of
• 32:22
  gonna be pissed. We're still going to be hungry.
• 32:23
  We're still not going to be too big of any kind of money and
• 32:26
  it's going to be all kinds of issues in the locker room.
• 32:29
  It's just bad. You mean just bad bad bad.
• 32:31
  Wait, Hey coach. I can't play this week.
• 32:34
  I have an autograph show. I got to miss practice tomorrow
• 32:36
  night. No I got to go see my tax
• 32:39
  account. I gotta go see this person
• 32:40
  because I'm going to have a tax burden right now, it's just
• 32:44
  insane. Them.
• 32:45
  Think he does on the same mindset.
• 32:46
  I am because I told Brian before my joke, is this?
• 32:50
  What happens when the kids forget to pays his taxes?
• 32:52
  And he's in Ohio State quarterback?
• 32:54
  He's coming to Happy Valley to pull me guys.
• 32:56
  Oh no, he's getting arrested because he didn't pay his taxes
• 32:58
  last year. Oopsie.
• 33:00
  Let's close out with this. Because again keep we're going
• 33:03
  to head back sometime in the near future because we just went
• 33:06
  45 minutes on this and there's a plethora of issues we love to
• 33:09
  talk about with you, but let me ask this Gutfeld Brent, pry.
• 33:15
  Virginia Tech, does he get us back where we expect to be
• 33:18
  competing for ACC title? Winning nine ten, eleven games a
• 33:21
  year? Absolutely help.
• 33:25
  It can do it. He could do it, man.
• 33:29
  I like that mindset. I love the sound of that.
• 33:57
  You know, I think, ever since the announcement has been made,
• 34:02
  it's just kind of been a difference which here in in
• 34:06
  Richmond where we are in Blacksburg it just there's a
• 34:09
  completely different feeling around the for the program.
• 34:12
  And, you know, some of it has to do with some of the ineptitude
• 34:16
  of the previous staff. And some of it has to do with
• 34:18
  just the fact that what coach prize bringing to the table, is
• 34:22
  the goods. And I think that's What we've
• 34:25
  been missing? He's going to he's going to go
• 34:28
  out there and he's going to get your fan base.
• 34:29
  All riled up, that's what you got to do.
• 34:31
  You got to get the fan base behind you?
• 34:33
  And then Virginia Tech, I mean, you know, I live down there with
• 34:36
  in Richmond and then, and that area for what, for five years, I
• 34:41
  know who they like him in there to give me all over UVA fans,
• 34:44
  you one, but you could tell who they are.
• 34:45
  But you know who the you, that Virginia Tech fans are and
• 34:48
  there's a lot more of them out there.
• 34:50
  And you know I have always said that the Virginia Tech at Penn
• 34:52
  State guys are very very similar in our one is A lot of people go
• 34:58
  to Tech grad school from Penn State.
• 35:01
  And a lot of people go to Virginia are Penn State grad
• 35:03
  school from Virginia Tech because of the ad buildings and
• 35:06
  the AG sciences and all that stuff.
• 35:08
  So there's a lot of lot of turnover, a lot of Virginia Tech
• 35:12
  and Penn State marriages to. So I've always liked that about
• 35:18
  you guys and you know, there's you're going to have a bunch of
• 35:20
  people up here who are going to root for private for you guys.
• 35:22
  So take Clemson down FP. It.
• 35:27
  Do it baby. You got it.
• 35:29
  Give it back to the way it was. There we go.
• 35:32
  Well, we got you on here. I know we're going to talk about
• 35:34
  the the Pinstripe Bowl a little bit here after our break.
• 35:37
  But when I do, we talked off. Are you said that you had a
• 35:41
  experience there a couple years back.
• 35:44
  What can we expect from the Pinstripe Bowl for the Hokies?
• 35:48
  Dude, I'm telling you. It was, I had never gone.
• 35:50
  I mean, I grew up in the Philadelphia area, so I really
• 35:53
  never had to leave that area. Went to New York.
• 35:55
  Sure. See the maid.
• 35:56
  Once or twice in my life before being an adult.
• 36:00
  So what I had never been to New York City for holiday season
• 36:04
  with the Rockefeller tree with the ice skating rink in disease,
• 36:08
  NBC Studios. And you can just feel there's an
• 36:10
  aura up there about it being the holidays, and it was just such a
• 36:13
  cool thing. Just a really, really cool thing
• 36:16
  to experience a ton of restaurants.
• 36:17
  As I mean, you don't have to talk about The Nightlife or the
• 36:20
  restaurants, but the game is really cool because you
• 36:22
  obviously, you're in, you know, you're in Bronx in the Bronx.
• 36:26
  And you getting off the subway, and there's the cathedral
• 36:29
  baseball right there, just the whole landscape of it and just
• 36:33
  seeing how its setup is a really cool, cool thing.
• 36:36
  And I wish I remember the pregame bar.
• 36:39
  I was at because it was a hell of a time.
• 36:41
  And the postgame bar was even better.
• 36:42
  So, it's a little bit riskier right now than it was five years
• 36:54
  ago to go to New York City. With the You know, the, the
• 36:57
  police issues and stuff like that, but it was really worth
• 37:00
  it. I really, really enjoyed it.
• 37:01
  I mean to the point where I'm as mad and pissed off, I was about
• 37:04
  Penn State season. I would have grown them.
• 37:06
  If they had penetrated going to the Pinstripe Bowl, I would
• 37:09
  have, I would have definitely driven up.
• 37:11
  How nice? Yeah.
• 37:12
  Unfortunately, neither of us can make it up there this year, but
• 37:14
  I know there's a lot of folks that live that are to follow us
• 37:17
  on Twitter that are heading up there.
• 37:19
  So hopefully they'll have a good stuff that way but four minutes
• 37:23
  but before we let you go Keith She ate you jumping on, it's
• 37:27
  been great talking with you again, chop a little bit.
• 37:31
  All chopping it up about Coach pry but make sure your Virginia
• 37:34
  Tech. So thank you for joining us and
• 37:36
  I really appreciate it. You got it, man.
• 37:38
  I enjoyed it too. Good luck to you guys this year.

  I'm sure I'll be talking to you guys again.
• 37:42
  I'll definitely, we will definitely be having you back on

• 37:50
  We're going to be you're going to be calling me next weekend
• 37:51
  saying did you see this about? Yeah, exactly.
• 37:54
  You know, I'm not actually trying to do.
• 37:56
  Do some stuff to help our guys out.
• 37:57
  I mean, you, I mean, I go back to Virginia Tech and Penn State.
• 38:00
  I know we're going wrong here, but we're not in a big
• 38:03
  Metropolitan towns, man. We don't have that stability.
• 38:06
  So, a school in Virginia Tech in a school.
• 38:09
  Like Penn State are behind the 8-ball.
• 38:10
  We are really, really, really like we can't compete mean.
• 38:14
  Just believe that we can compete with pit.
• 38:17
  When it comes to like ni L deals because they're in a city, they
• 38:20
  have so many more opportunities and that's going to catch up to
• 38:24
  us in the long run if we don't get ahead of it.
• 38:25
  So good luck with the boys. You're going to need it.
• 38:28
  So will we? I Keith?
• 38:29
  We appreciate it, man. All right, y'all before we get
• 38:34

  thank you for having and why before you buy the commercial we
• 39:15
  got a lot done load. Now we've been talking with
• 39:17
  Keith 50 minutes about Tyler Bowen about Coach prize
• 39:20
  experiences and some other things and trusted will have
• 39:24
  Keith back on the discuss, a bunch of other things in the
• 39:27
  near future compromise. Talk about some things hokey
• 39:30
  wise let's talk about signing day last week and you know how
• 39:35
  is your feeling overall? Did you like how we ended up
• 39:39
  probably right 30th in the class you know what I like it overall
• 39:43
  obviously. I would have liked for a couple
• 39:45
  of those late Flipz from coming some of the the to her high
• 39:49
  profile players and Ramon Brown and Alex, or gee.
• 39:53
  I wish we could have held on to those guys, but close out the
• 39:57
  class. Good flipped a couple UVA
• 39:59
  commits late, you know, pulled in a couple other guys like
• 40:03
  Connor, McClane late. I think that kind of really
• 40:07
  sealed a really good class and overall the best Best class that
• 40:10
  we've had since kind of the early 20 classes there so I'm
• 40:14
  looking forward to see what these guys can do on the field.
• 40:16
  Especially, I know we talked about it earlier with Keith but
• 40:18
  we got 12 of those guys in rolling early and that's going
• 40:21
  to be big especially with the holes we have in the roster from
• 40:25
  just bad roster management, overall, and then all the
• 40:27
  opt-outs we've been dealing with.
• 40:29
  Yep. And you talk about the TVA
• 40:31
  commits. Brody Meadows with one, we had
• 40:33
  talked about Brody back in the spring.
• 40:35
  We're looking at some of the players in the state of
• 40:36
  Virginia, but the other guy that was And then committed and
• 40:41
  signed on Friday. Zaevion Bradshaw Ahmad Bradshaw
• 40:46
  son out of G. Same high school as Meadows.
• 40:49
  Three star, six foot 180 five listed as an athlete.
• 40:55
  I think they listed him as receiver.
• 40:57
  If you go back and look I'm going to be a slot receiver.
• 41:00
  Yeah. Okay, slot receiver.
• 41:02
  Yeah, I mean in a solid, you know, list of, you know, offers
• 41:06
  an interest, you know, Cincinnati appstate salsa
• 41:09
  Interest from West Virginia, some interesting Notre Dame.
• 41:12
  So obviously there was something there and flipping them was a
• 41:17
  big thing. And it's again, it's like the
• 41:21
  focus on the state, right? Even though we lost a couple
• 41:23
  guys in state. We gained a couple more guys and
• 41:26
  I tell you what both Brody and is thing, you could see they
• 41:32
  were waiting on that offer, right?
• 41:34
  You could? Yeah, I mean I think Brody was
• 41:37
  really hurt that he didn't get Offer from the Hokies earlier
• 41:43
  when Fuente was around getting getting that offer one Sprite
• 41:48
  took over really again, emphasizing you know, talent in
• 41:53
  your backyard Bluefield. Virginia is definitely here,
• 41:58
  Blacksburg backyard, so taking advantage of that I think was
• 42:03
  big for us and it definitely said I think it sends a good
• 42:08
  message to the Out in the state, right?
• 42:11
  Yeah. So whether or not either of
• 42:14
  these players end up having significant careers for the
• 42:17
  Hokies, it sends a message out, the gate that we are
• 42:19
  prioritizing town in our backyard talent in, our state
• 42:23
  talent, in our footprint, abso-freakin'-lutely.
• 42:27
  All right. I'm almost stopped here for one
• 42:29
  second. We're watching the tech.
• 42:33
  Do you gain as we record tech? Oh, hey, as they had to halftime
• 42:37
  lead. Now down five with ten minutes
• 42:39
  to After coming off, obviously, the most impressive game last
• 42:42
  Friday against st. Bonaventure hey, bonaventure's a
• 42:45
  good, a 10 team we can attest to that watching them.
• 42:48
  Maybe see you and they took them behind the Woodshed and right
• 42:53
  now they're keeping up with a impressive Duke team.
• 42:57
  Yeah. And I think that's, you know, I
• 42:59
  think this is a little bit of it.
• 43:01
  Maybe a turn of the corner for the team, even if they aren't
• 43:05
  able to hold on and win this one, the game against Saint
• 43:09
  Bonaventure was big, I think for confidence, right.
• 43:14
  I think we went through a string where we lost a couple, that we
• 43:16
  shouldn't have lost a couple other ones that we thought we
• 43:21
  could win. And we kind of let get away.
• 43:24
  And the saint Bonaventure. One was big and I think, you
• 43:27
  know, think the bodies didn't have their best game.
• 43:29
  Obviously that wasn't their best game.
• 43:31
  But at the same time show them some of that was dictated by
• 43:35
  what the kids were doing. So I'm hoping that there would
• 43:37
  have to close this out. Get Win against a really
• 43:41
  probably the best opponent in the conference at they'll see
• 43:44
  all year and kind of keep moving and get some momentum.
• 43:49
  Well, we say that in as we get done with an interview on Keith
• 43:53
  and I'm paying more attention, we're losing.
• 43:55
  So I might have to turn it off or down 10.
• 43:57
  Now, let's go to this problem. Obviously, some big news on the
• 44:00
  coaching front. Let's start with one more guy
• 44:03
  retained and that is piercing, Prelude going to go from
• 44:07
  Defensive Player Development. Meant to the safeties Pearson
• 44:12
  and originator of DBU was here. 95 to 1998, drafted, and then
• 44:18
  played 12 years including a Super Bowl ring.
• 44:21
  We're not going to talk about the Super Bowl ring yet.
• 44:25
  How are you on this higher brine?
• 44:29
  I actually like it. Now I will say this, it is not
• 44:32
  sexy. Oh not it's not sexy to promote
• 44:35
  your director of Player Development for defense to your
• 44:40
  coach. We saw it happen and I'm a
• 44:44
  couple years back. But where I think is different
• 44:49
  is person's overall pedigree in the NFL time that he spent with
• 44:57
  Jay-Z on the road this year yelling.
• 44:59
  The last thing is that opportunities were available to
• 45:04
  him before now and he passed on prioritizing spending time with
• 45:10
  his family, being able to be in a local area.
• 45:13
  Most of his time, not not have to be on the road, recruiting.
• 45:16
  Eating I think as his kids are getting older the opportunities
• 45:19
  they'll presenting themselves to jump in and coach for your alma
• 45:23
  mater at a position that you played that you are highly novel
• 45:28
  in and for a new staff where there's as much as about the
• 45:33
  program is there's been in a while.
• 45:37
  Absolutely. I mean he's a legend here at
• 45:39
  tech and and I think him being here for a few years.
• 45:44
  It a it probably helps with the transition a little bit more
• 45:48
  because you've got JC JC. He's only been on the staff one
• 45:50
  year. A lot of these guys were going
• 45:52
  to be around next year. We'll probably have known
• 45:54
  Pearson from Jump Street in some way, shape, or form.
• 45:58
  And again, no knock on ham. Ham played Safety one year.
• 46:03
  He was good, and he played a couple of years, and he's kind
• 46:06
  of coached Defensive side. This is literally been pierced
• 46:08
  his position, his whole life, his whole life and now the
• 46:13
  question is, can he recruit And he coach them, the guy can play.
• 46:19
  There was never any question about that, but Kenny coach and
• 46:23
  I think we'll find out pretty quick as he's got a couple
• 46:25
  talented guys with them, who had good Seasons who were kind of up
• 46:28
  and down. If we see more steady play, will
• 46:32
  know, hey, maybe he's the right guy.
• 46:34
  Now, with that being said, Brian, if he's going to safeties
• 46:39
  The cheated Erik Jones is coaching Corners.
• 46:42
  That means Ryan Smith is leaving us.
• 46:44
  Unfortunately, Smitty's heading up to Northwestern head up to
• 46:48
  Northwestern. I think, you know, we talked
• 46:52
  before all this started to go down, Smitty was the other one
• 46:56
  on this staff that we were hoping got retain.
• 46:58
  We were hoping move two safeties to coach their.
• 47:01
  So there's obviously some disappointment there.
• 47:02
  And I think that that's probably where some of the the unsexiest
• 47:06
  lies as well. Is that we know we thought
• 47:08
  someone that was already on Staff was going to slide into
• 47:10
  that spot but, you know, he's moving on and I think some of
• 47:15
  that is probably good for him, just because overlapping
• 47:19
  regimes, when you don't have a full-on relationship with with
• 47:25
  the guy coming in, that can be can be a little dicey.
• 47:27
  Obviously, JC longer relationship with with Coach
• 47:31
  Pride, then, you know, the kind of short crossing, a pass with,
• 47:37
  with Ryan Smith there. So You know I wish you nothing
• 47:42
  but the best especially since he's not in the ACC so and maybe
• 47:48
  this is one thing where he goes get some more experience and
• 47:51
  we'll see him again in a few years that might be the case.
• 47:54
  He's definitely going to work for a hell of a head coach, and
• 47:57
  Pat Fitzgerald, who seems like every other year.
• 48:00
  If he's not, one of three games, he's winning nine or ten at
• 48:03
  Northwestern and taking them out of state to the brink and a
• 48:06
  championship game. All right, so Those coaches, we
• 48:10
  already talked about Tyler bone, it's not official but everything
• 48:14
  points. He's going to be the o.c. in the
• 48:15
  tight ends coach but since the last time we talked well we
• 48:19
  talked just me and Brian love last week of Italian them but
• 48:22
  we've had three additional coaches.
• 48:25
  I want to start with Stu hold here.
• 48:26
  Brian Stephen Holt going to be the Special Teams and the
• 48:32
  running backs coach in man does he have the background?
• 48:36
  Especially in special teams and running backs?
• 48:40
  You know, his special teams seem like they're he similar shall
• 48:45
  best. He's in a special teams guy
• 48:47
  there, you know, some of those receiving teams have returned
• 48:51
  teams have ranked up in the top five, which is really
• 48:53
  impressive. And somebody said, oh, they call
• 48:56
  me was going to be tight ends coach, and I'm sitting here,
• 48:58
  like, look at what he did it appstate, he attacked me in a
• 49:03
  running back room and that's where they're going to put him
• 49:07
  and obviously he crossed paths. Path with Coach cry back in the
• 49:11
  late 1990s down at Western Carolina where he was a g a
• 49:15
  while problems of DC. I like this I mean it's still
• 49:20
  someone from the ACC and you get there is no fall-off.
• 49:25
  Milk special teams coaching and can we say?
• 49:29
  It's probable upgrade at the running back room.
• 49:33
  Yeah, definitely an upgrade at the running back room at, no, at
• 49:37
  worst, a even swap their on the Special Teams unit.
• 49:43
  Could be a step up there as well.
• 49:46
  I like this higher overall. I'm looking forward to seeing
• 49:49
  what he can do with the running back room for certain because
• 49:52
  that's probably one area where we were dependent upon Talon out
• 49:57
  the gate in order to have a good unit.
• 50:00
  We were thankfully, able last couple years to bring in some Um
• 50:03
  transfers that buoy that up, but we're going to see what some of
• 50:06
  the young guys have this year and I'm hoping that Holtz going
• 50:09
  to guide them along the way and get them playing to their their
• 50:13
  best ability and maybe we'll finally see Marco Ali get some
• 50:16
  carries well with potentially what we're going to be doing the
• 50:20
  offensive game which I know you're going to be a little bit
• 50:23
  more as week next month, maybe more Kelly does get some carries
• 50:27
  Steve Holt, Broyles award finalist in the past.
• 50:30
  As is the next Guy. Brad blind.
• 50:33
  Joins the staff as the quarterback coach and passing
• 50:35
  game coordinator had been down at Georgia State, since 2019 was
• 50:42
  at Western Carolina before that, for about six years.
• 50:47
  And at first I was not Overwhelmed by this higher, I'll
• 50:54
  be straight up with you brown I wasn't but I'm going to give him
• 50:57
  a shout out. Shout out J&J Singleton out
• 50:59
  there we have some diem vajayjay and JJ was like, listen, JJ knew
• 51:06
  him from his time at Western Carolina and he actually had a
• 51:11
  class and he said, this guy knows his football.
• 51:16
  And as I said already, he was a boils award finalist before so
• 51:23
  I'm still sort of gung-ho on this its a Brad He's coaching
• 51:28
  quarterbacks have you got a goatee but you wouldn't learned
• 51:34
  what I mean. I think the big thing is that,
• 51:43
  you know, I think he's going to be a good complement to To the
• 51:46
  guy we think is going to be the offensive coordinator which you
• 51:49
  know it sounds like for all intensive.
• 51:51
  Purposes is our offensive coordinator and Tyler bow and I
• 51:53
  think he's going to be a good complement.
• 51:54
  Their Tyler's work with tight ends, he's worked with offensive
• 51:59
  wine, we got a quarterback Guru. We got someone that knows how to
• 52:05
  generate points from the passing game.
• 52:09
  Raglan can definitely do that. We've seen it with the the
• 52:12
  Georgia state offenses. We've seen it with the Western
• 52:14
  Carolina offenses. Out State and app state whose
• 52:18
  Normani Edwards. I mean, yes.
• 52:20
  So so he knows how to generate points in the passing game.
• 52:23
  He knows how to get points from athletic, quarterbacks that can
• 52:28
  run with run the football. He doesn't get them murdered
• 52:31
  though, so that's a benefit as well.
• 52:37
  So good pasta. Well, that's what I think.
• 52:39
  I think this is overall a good hire again, much, like, the the
• 52:45
  prioleau. Hi.
• 52:45
  Higher, it's not necessarily sexy but I think it is is good
• 52:49
  in strategic. Alright, last one, this just
• 52:52
  dropped today. The white Galt the fourth is
• 52:55
  going to be the director of strength and conditioning for
• 52:57
  the football program. Obviously, when we talked about
• 53:00
  key just a few minutes ago, his dad has been with James Franklin
• 53:03
  for over 10 years, you see Penn State a lot of times are getting
• 53:08
  out physical. Do you see what you do is take
• 53:09
  on Berkeley. I don't know as much he's coming
• 53:14
  from ODU in the Senate Penn State had a stent, South
• 53:17
  Carolina. He's a young guy.
• 53:19
  I mean, let me pull it up here real quick.
• 53:23
  He is like Let me see, he is 2009.
• 53:30
  Hanging out of it. So what 3435?
• 53:35
  He will be younger than us. Yeah, yeah, he's a little
• 53:37
  younger than us. And Hopefully the the apple fall
• 53:44
  doesn't fall too far from the tree, right?
• 53:47
  That's the big hope. And obviously I mean some of the
• 53:50
  things that they're doing at Penn State.
• 53:52
  Yeah, that's definitely going to have rubbed off on him between
• 53:56
  the emphasis on strength and also the, the analytic approach
• 54:01
  to the strength system. I think that's something that we
• 54:04
  haven't really seen. I don't think we're going to
• 54:06
  have any skinny legs out there anymore.
• 54:09
  No more Beachbody. Situation out there.
• 54:12
  This is going to be Strong and fast.
• 54:17
  And I think if you're training towards that then then you got
• 54:21
  the right mindset. So they're your hires there's
• 54:25
  still two positions left to hire that is offensive line coach on.
• 54:31
  There's a lot of smoke around that maybe in the next few days
• 54:34
  at gets announced and then there's been absolutely no
• 54:36
  smoking on the rod receiver coach.
• 54:38
  So or there's been nothing nothing louder than a whisper on
• 54:42
  the wide receiver front. There's full-on ship horns for
• 54:49
  the offensive line coach, so you absolutely correct.
• 54:54
  Well lit noses, you know. So think about it folks, on
• 55:01
  let's go here, Brian three guys. Additionally, have and have
• 55:05
  announced for the draft, John Parker, run other, kicker John
• 55:08
  tenuta Rahim Blackshear, any of these, three shock you Probably
• 55:14
  too new to the most to be honest with you because I think he
• 55:17
  still has tape that he could put out there to improve his stock.
• 55:22
  I think other than some early season snafus John Parker Romo
• 55:27
  had as good of a season as I could have expected from him
• 55:32
  short of missing to to chip shots in the first three weeks
• 55:36
  of the season. I don't really have that much
• 55:39
  negative to say about him throughout the year.
• 55:41
  We kicking the ball. Downs on kickoffs.
• 55:44
  That's all yeah. A couple couple, those couple of
• 55:46
  those rough but yeah, really rough.
• 55:49
  Yeah. But Blackshear, you know, i-i've
• 55:52
  praise Blackshear on this program enough times where you
• 55:56
  guys know what I think about his ability.
• 55:58
  And that that's an ability, that translate translate, probably
• 56:01
  even better to the NFL than it does to the college game.
• 56:05
  So, just the versatility has to catch the ball.
• 56:10
  He's worked. He's gotten a lot better running
• 56:12
  between the tackles. I think he brings a lot to the
• 56:14
  table and I think just the shelf life of a running back.
• 56:17
  If you're you know stocks hi go ahead and you know, cash in the
• 56:21
  chips. Well he's probably got his
• 56:23
  degree by now. Obviously, some of the games he
• 56:27
  had this year, he'd be really flashed.
• 56:31
  He's playing in the bowl, right? And you know he's not opted out
• 56:34
  so one more chance to flash one more time for him on Ramon the
• 56:39
  same way, probably got his degree.
• 56:40
  He's a kicker and believe it or not I think right now because of
• 56:45
  what's going on with shy, best kickers are getting chances in
• 56:49
  the NFL. He showed he has the leg to kick
• 56:51
  from 50 plus pretty accurately. So go for it but I'm with you.
• 56:58
  Two new to probably does need another year of seasoning, but I
• 57:01
  think here's why he's probably going and this is just my
• 57:04
  thought. He's got the physical makeup of
• 57:07
  a tackle. Either side of the ball.
• 57:10
  Perfect physical makeup. He's six foot, seven and a half,
• 57:12
  he's 305 pounds. Got pretty long arms.
• 57:16
  Don't have terrible feet, pretty strong guy, but for him it's
• 57:23
  he's been in the he's been in the Fuente corn system, his
• 57:26
  whole career to ask to say, let me flip it to go to a brand new
• 57:31
  system and learn everything new I might regress.
• 57:35
  And if I regressed, my chances are going, at least down my
• 57:39
  tape, looks solid. I have the frame, somebody might
• 57:43
  take a risk with me and you're seeing how that and, I know, I
• 57:47
  know it's different situation, but it's true.
• 57:55
  I know the situations are different, we're not dealing
• 57:57
  with a super senior situation. We're not dealing with any of
• 57:59
  that the covid related side effects, but sometimes next
• 58:05
  year's seasoning, improves your stock.
• 58:07
  And unfortunately, for Wyatt there were, you know, some
• 58:11
  things that were here in Flint a Rope, Rope heads to kind of
• 58:16
  start things off that, that hurt that that come back run a little
• 58:20
  bit. So and then hey He's taking
• 58:25
  everything since then and ran with it.
• 58:27
  All, I mean, Pro Bowl this year, big contract.
• 58:32
  Oh yeah, hold it. And having a great year this
• 58:35
  year. So I mean he's earning, he's
• 58:37
  earning the paycheck, and I'm looking forward to watching him
• 58:40
  some more of this year. One of the only NFL lineman with
• 58:44
  highlight tape reels Because he even wants to destroy people.
• 58:48
  It's awesome to see that. All right, Brian.
• 58:51
  Let's flip it over to the portal.
• 58:52
  Obviously, you mentioned it interview with Keith Braxton
• 58:55
  Burmeister, has hit the portal Braxton was trying to play in
• 58:59
  the bowl game. But it's one of those.
• 59:00
  It's a liability issue. You can't be in the portal and
• 59:03
  still play. I don't think this is a shock to
• 59:08
  anyone, but now we have kind of blumrich, Tosh and a walk-on.
• 59:16
  Yep. We I've got to run down sheet.
• 59:20
  Here I am hoping the next time. We talk in January because we
• 59:24
  are going to take a, you know, I'll take a couple weeks off
• 59:26
  guys. There's some ends in that
• 59:29
  category that we can talk about because we need some, yeah, we
• 59:33
  definitely need it in especially at the quarterback position,
• 59:36
  just because that's one position that, you know, if you're a
• 59:41
  quality transfer teams are going to lock you up, pretty quick.
• 59:46
  We've already seen a handful that have been locked up.
• 59:50
  Looks like, probably one more is coming through the pipe.
• 59:52
  Pretty soon at Pitt, get it on, slowed of us.
• 59:56
  Yep. But did anybody Mitel slovis
• 59:59
  that Whipple went to Nebraska you know, was a figurehead but I
• 1:00:08
  don't think that's the case with has always been a solid
• 1:00:12
  offensive coach. So I don't think that's the
• 1:00:14
  case. We'll find out quickly.
• 1:00:17
  What does BB land anywhere? Or is he He lands somewhere.
• 1:00:25
  I don't know if he lands a another power 5 gig.
• 1:00:27
  I just think between is is proneness to injury and I think
• 1:00:33
  just the limited our Mobility. It's going to limit his options
• 1:00:38
  at the power 5 level. You know, that's on tape now in
• 1:00:42
  Oregon, he was very young that there were still some ceiling to
• 1:00:45
  reach for at that point. Yeah I think at this point we've
• 1:00:49
  seen where that ceiling is and I think that's probably going to
• 1:00:53
  live Some of those opportunities.
• 1:00:55
  I think he could get a look at either G5 or FCS for sure.
• 1:00:59
  But I don't see a another power 5 spot for him.
• 1:01:04
  Yeah, I agree with you and it's unfortunate for him because I
• 1:01:07
  think Essentially, I'm just saying the something got
• 1:01:11
  coaching staff. Really?
• 1:01:11
  Messed him up. They took away some of the best
• 1:01:15
  things he did and then obviously the stories about the one read,
• 1:01:19
  you know, that can mess up a guy's head.
• 1:01:21
  So I hope it lands on his feet wherever he decides to go.
• 1:01:26
  No, no, no, no. It's definitely unfortunate.
• 1:01:29
  You know I'm going to come out on me.
• 1:01:31
  I was critical of his ability right now but I will commend him
• 1:01:34
  for putting everything out there when he was playing.
• 1:01:38
  Oh yeah when he was on the field walls he was 100% on the field.
• 1:01:43
  He Wasn't taking plays off, he wasn't shortchanging, the fans,
• 1:01:47
  he wasn't short, changing his teammates.
• 1:01:49
  He was laying it all out there, so I will give him credit for
• 1:01:52
  that. Absolutely 100%.
• 1:01:55
  Yep. All right, Brian.
• 1:01:57
  Let's keep moving still more. We kind of talked about this
• 1:02:00
  last week, but the game of headset is kind of slowly coming
• 1:02:05
  to an end for the power five schools.
• 1:02:08
  And, you know, just a couple, you know, two weeks ago, ten
• 1:02:12
  days ago, Tony It goes to UVA. I mean good for them, I think
• 1:02:20
  what the way it was looking I thought they were going to have
• 1:02:29
  to scrape the bottom of the barrel for something.
• 1:02:31
  They were getting the spooky hours there for a little bit
• 1:02:34
  because it looked like for a second that maybe the original
• 1:02:39
  deal they had with Elliot at fallen through and they were
• 1:02:41
  going to have to Pivot and probably the best pivot they
• 1:02:45
  could have done at that point. Was maybe talk to Gatos but in
• 1:02:50
  my opinion, Gatos would have been a step up from where you
• 1:02:54
  were with Elliot in terms of, you know, attractiveness for the
• 1:02:57
  job. But yet I think they probably
• 1:03:00
  did the best case scenario considering where Bronco left
• 1:03:03
  them, holding the bag at the end of the season.
• 1:03:06
  At the same time, I think we probably came out better in
• 1:03:09
  terms of overall fit culture, fit, and potential to kind of
• 1:03:14
  hit the ground running especially because of the how
• 1:03:16
  they had to close. The class was really having zero
• 1:03:19
  time to kind of keep things together after Elliot was
• 1:03:23
  brought on. Yep.
• 1:03:25
  And I think to Tony its farming in Clemson, we already went
• 1:03:29
  through, you know, Brent pry, Virginia Tech, Western Carolina,
• 1:03:36
  ull Georgia, Southern Vanderbilt.
• 1:03:40
  It's going to be interested in seeing staff put together who
• 1:03:43
  more hires. I don't think this one, shocked
• 1:03:46
  me Dan Landing going out to Oregon.
• 1:03:48
  We talked about Landing Landings been all over the place.
• 1:03:52
  He's going to a place where he's going to get high-end recruits.
• 1:03:55
  He's going to a conference. That's not really known for
• 1:03:58
  strong defenses with the exception of like Utah.
• 1:04:04
  I mean, 37 years old formerly, USC formerly USC, probably less.
• 1:04:09
  So, with linking going there, but I think he, I think, I think
• 1:04:13
  they made a fine. How are they?
• 1:04:15
  Made literally the best probably young defensive coordinator.
• 1:04:17
  They could. Yeah, I think if you were going
• 1:04:20
  to defensive higher, they probably did as best as they
• 1:04:22
  could there. I know they were looking at a
• 1:04:25
  couple other options as they were putting stuff together, but
• 1:04:32
  I guess they rumored to have talked to two chip.
• 1:04:37
  It's at one point. I don't know how much actual
• 1:04:42
  truth there is to those rumors, but they land on Dan Landing,
• 1:04:46
  which I think if you like I said if you're going deep, Offensive
• 1:04:48
  coach probably the best that they could have grabbed in those
• 1:04:51
  circumstances. And I'll go ahead and hit the
• 1:04:54
  next one. Do with hiring Mike elk.
• 1:04:57
  Oh, that's probably the best case scenario.
• 1:05:00
  They could have swallow, they absolutely nailed it guy.
• 1:05:05
  That was on our list. I'm just kind of, I mean, maybe
• 1:05:11
  it's one of those stability things.
• 1:05:12
  Right. Maybe that's why I know you went
• 1:05:14
  to UVA. They both, they're there.
• 1:05:17
  They both know. They are getting five to seven
• 1:05:20
  years, they know that kind of like, Brent Prime knows, he's
• 1:05:23
  probably getting six years. Like, you go to a program where
• 1:05:27
  you can actually try to build. It's better than going
• 1:05:31
  somewhere. You know, I hate to say this
• 1:05:33
  Landing going to Oregon, he starts sucking.
• 1:05:36
  They'll fire. You look what they did to help
• 1:05:38
  recover took him to a national title game.
• 1:05:39
  Two years later, they fired him. so, I mean, it's going to be
• 1:05:48
  interesting to see what L can do there.
• 1:05:51
  He had good defenses at Wake Forest, not great, Notre Dame
• 1:05:55
  and Texas A&M. He had a lead defense has so I
• 1:05:58
  mean, he has shown the ability to take moderate talent and get
• 1:06:03
  a good amount out of them even if they're not Elite.
• 1:06:06
  And I think for Duke, if you can get Above-average defense has
• 1:06:12
  yeah you got a you got a little bit of a shot.
• 1:06:15
  You gotta use. The question is going to be is
• 1:06:17
  you know the thing with cut is that cut early in his time at
• 1:06:21
  Duke was able to recruit defense pretty well and because of his
• 1:06:26
  offenses they were able to string a few things together.
• 1:06:29
  There is a good is he going to have the enough context to get
• 1:06:33
  the offensive staff in there? That's going to be able to
• 1:06:35
  complement you know those plumber.
• 1:06:39
  We punching above their belt. Defense has Abyssal.
• 1:06:43
  We're can lutely. All right, folks.
• 1:06:46
  So we're going to turn next. We're going to look at the
• 1:06:48
  Pinstripe Bowl, the best. We can right now.
• 1:06:53
  Maryland has no opt-outs nothing's broken Koda.
• 1:06:57
  Protocols, why's that they're losing players or coaches.
• 1:07:00
  So we're going to jump in right to the offensive side of the
• 1:07:02
  ball and we're going to talk about if I pronounce that right
• 1:07:06
  to Lo attack Viola obviously to his little brother.
• 1:07:10
  The quarterback for Star top 10 quarterback when he came out top
• 1:07:15
  200 player, initially went to Alabama then transferred when
• 1:07:19
  Mike locksley got the job at Maryland this season so far, you
• 1:07:25
  know, 68 percent completion, 30 over 3500 yards, 24, touchdowns
• 1:07:33
  and 11 picks so obviously had a good season.
• 1:07:38
  But what's the tape saying About him.
• 1:07:40
  Brian. Is it that he did?
• 1:07:42
  He just carve up the bad guys and played terrible against the
• 1:07:45
  good guys. Now, he actually did pretty well
• 1:07:49
  overall good accuracy, especially when he was throwing
• 1:07:53
  passes in the short game. He doesn't take a ton of shots,
• 1:07:58
  downfield. They when they do it's usually
• 1:08:01
  off some sort of play action that they usually like to have a
• 1:08:05
  Max protecting their or and at least an extra blocker when they
• 1:08:09
  take some of the shots downfield, he will be used in
• 1:08:13
  the running game as well. He's got really good
• 1:08:14
  athleticism. Particularly there was a play in
• 1:08:20
  one of the film's, I watch where he was able to run, a rat, a pin
• 1:08:23
  and pull quarterback sweep and he got to the edge, went up, the
• 1:08:27
  sideline for a touchdown about 58 yards so he has the ability
• 1:08:31
  to break a big play in the running game.
• 1:08:33
  That's not what his his primary game is though he is looking to
• 1:08:39
  throw the ball, swing the ball around, get the ball out of his
• 1:08:41
  hands quick. And he's also use some of the
• 1:08:44
  misdirection game on the Reeds and Things like that.
• 1:08:47
  But the primary thing we need to look at is that short passing
• 1:08:50
  game and making sure we get him out of rhythm.
• 1:08:55
  Yeah, and it seems like that based on the data on scene.
• 1:08:59
  They are a pass first team, not a run first team.
• 1:09:03
  Let's hope that maybe we get some snowfall in New York.
• 1:09:06
  The wind blows a little bit hard and he can't throw to a guy like
• 1:09:11
  Rakim Jarrett. His top wide receiver.
• 1:09:16
  Top 30 player top player in, d.c. top, five white out, five
• 1:09:22
  star played at st. John's, we know our deal with
• 1:09:26
  st. John's, we're not allowed to go
• 1:09:27
  in there anymore or do Under the old regime.
• 1:09:29
  Hopefully, prevent cracking open up those doors like, you get the
• 1:09:33
  to st. Francis guys, this year.
• 1:09:36
  But man, this guy's torrent has Hornet up this year. 56
• 1:09:41
  perception 769 yards 13.7? Per catch five touchdowns.
• 1:09:50
  What are we seeing? Edward King, Jack is clearly.
• 1:09:52
  He is tyros favorite Target. Yeah, and ironically, he's got
• 1:09:59
  good yards for catch but he's really more of a stick.
• 1:10:02
  Mover that just has really good run after the catch.
• 1:10:04
  She's not running a ton of deep routes consistently.
• 1:10:09
  It's, you know, a lot of Slants and comebacks.
• 1:10:12
  He will break a kind of deep krauser.
• 1:10:14
  That's really that's really where he kind of gets guys beat
• 1:10:17
  deep as though, some deep crossers.
• 1:10:20
  We're that's where he can break off some of the big plays down
• 1:10:23
  the field but it's mostly stick mover routes then he's just good
• 1:10:28
  with the ball in his hands after the catch.
• 1:10:31
  That's good to hear. Because, you know, the other
• 1:10:34
  guys on the team, you know, only one other guy has more than 500
• 1:10:39
  yards and that's Dante Dimas. So, you know, I think it's one
• 1:10:43
  of those things. I think what hams got to do is
• 1:10:47
  look to focus. Him don't let him beat you.
• 1:10:51
  They let him beat you for the next hour about to talk about
• 1:10:54
  because he is really their only running back threat and that
• 1:10:57
  stay on fleet Davis. Three-star, a toxin Maryland,
• 1:11:05
  you know, so far this season you know, 664 yards on the ground
• 1:11:10
  only 120 carries so over five and a half K with eight rushing
• 1:11:14
  touchdowns. But man do they use him in the
• 1:11:18
  passing game? Third or third on the team in
• 1:11:21
  receptions with 32 at over 300 yards, averaging?
• 1:11:25
  Right about nine and a half. What's the tape telling you
• 1:11:28
  about this guy's game? Yeah, he shows really good
• 1:11:32
  burst. Even though he has limited
• 1:11:33
  carries in the running game, he gets really good consistent.
• 1:11:37
  Yardage, despite those limited carries and he has the ability
• 1:11:41
  to bust a big play in the running game.
• 1:11:43
  But he they really use the running game to complement the
• 1:11:47
  the passing game to complement, what they like to do with play
• 1:11:50
  action. He's primarily used just swing
• 1:11:54
  it out of the backfield, a check down for title Allah.
• 1:12:00
  He's primarily that type of player for them, he will
• 1:12:02
  occasionally run kind of a wheel or things where you're getting
• 1:12:06
  the ball to them further down the field.
• 1:12:08
  But this is really a guy that catches the ball in space.
• 1:12:11
  It can make guys miss and get up field for some big yardage.
• 1:12:14
  All right, good deal. All right, man, give me some
• 1:12:17
  info on the offensive line for this year, they are very average
• 1:12:23
  in their run game. They're better in past Pro, but
• 1:12:27
  they're not great, they do. Have a lot of play action plays
• 1:12:33
  both our POS and true play action.
• 1:12:37
  They're not the best at Blitz pickup, but when they run that
• 1:12:40
  run action, a lot of its counteraction.
• 1:12:42
  So you got guys pulling across the formation blocking, guys.
• 1:12:46
  Like we've seen, you know, to some success and some other
• 1:12:53
  failure this year, on our end with those counter play actions.
• 1:13:02
  You're not not the best offensive line overall, probably
• 1:13:05
  the weakest overall unit of the offense but they're good enough
• 1:13:09
  in past Pro where they're able to do a lot of things in the
• 1:13:13
  passing game. As long as the quarterback
• 1:13:16
  doesn't hold the ball too long. Now, you talk about their
• 1:13:19
  running game, I mean they're running game, average is under
• 1:13:21
  for, that's best bad. They're not in third in the
• 1:13:25
  country in over 130 game. But when you're averaging under
• 1:13:30
  four, Or that's where that's where you have to get scared.
• 1:13:34
  Because that says, well, if you run the ball three times, there
• 1:13:37
  is a mathematical chance. You will not get a first down,
• 1:13:43
  right? Yep.
• 1:13:44
  He's a magnetically, not get a first down and, you know,
• 1:13:48
  they're good in past Pro, but they're not like Elite.
• 1:13:51
  And, you know, and I say that they're giving up roughly over
• 1:13:55
  two sacks of game ranking somewhere in the 80s.
• 1:14:00
  So, Not like bottom of the barrel like they kind of all
• 1:14:04
  with the Run game but definitely there's going to be some
• 1:14:08
  opportunities there to take advantage of them.
• 1:14:12
  But before we look at how to take advantage of them, let's
• 1:14:14
  look at the defense prawns and almost start.
• 1:14:19
  I'm trying to figure out how to handle.
• 1:14:22
  Maryland are getting these recruits knit cross, the safety
• 1:14:27
  for Star top 50 flare out of the mouth.
• 1:14:31
  Ava. I mean, this guy so far this
• 1:14:35
  year, Ryan 63, tackles a couple sacks three interceptions out of
• 1:14:41
  a safety positions. A forced fumble, has some pass
• 1:14:44
  deflections. I mean.
• 1:14:49
  Thinking about him. Six-foot 2005 hell.
• 1:14:53
  He's a class of it is here. He's a class of 19.
• 1:14:59
  I mean, he could legitimately like, leave and I don't know if
• 1:15:04
  the tape saying that, but the stats say that, I mean, he has
• 1:15:08
  that potential, you know, he plays that safety position.
• 1:15:12
  He's really good, especially in zone coverage.
• 1:15:14
  He's rangy, he will be asked to man.
• 1:15:18
  On occasion, sometimes they'll actually put him on the outside
• 1:15:21
  receiver baying up. He has some lapses in his run
• 1:15:26
  fits and he's probably only an average Tacker which might be
• 1:15:29
  the things that potentially limit him.
• 1:15:32
  Being a guy that can jump right now.
• 1:15:34
  He's still got a little bit of things to clean up in his game,
• 1:15:37
  but just his athleticism and is, is ability.
• 1:15:42
  I mean, it's off the charts and definitely jumps off the tape
• 1:15:45
  and you know, that defense they run that 34.
• 1:15:48
  Oh, base. They'll switching to a 25 from
• 1:15:50
  time to time. So it gives him some
• 1:15:51
  opportunities to kind of move around and do some different
• 1:15:55
  things on that defense. Yeah, looking up here.
• 1:15:58
  If you're not watching Hokies down 11 late, so it looks like
• 1:16:01
  this is going to be a loss to Duke.
• 1:16:04
  Duke takes a 13-0 run early. Second quarter shooting second,
• 1:16:08
  half to really flip this game over and Brian, you talked about
• 1:16:12
  right there about running the 34, or on a 25.
• 1:16:16
  Obviously, they're depending on linebackers.
• 1:16:18
  And Rubin who God pronounces right hit the low, do the second
• 1:16:23
  definitely a another really good recruit you know class of 2020
• 1:16:33
  or star at a Hollywood Florida. You know 6-foot 225.
• 1:16:39
  What's the, what's the tape saying with him?
• 1:16:44
  Yeah, this is a guy that they're going to be bringing a lot of
• 1:16:47
  their blitzes, he's their primary Blitzer from the inside
• 1:16:49
  linebacker position. They'll send him on, run blitzes
• 1:16:53
  and in passing situations, he does a really good job of
• 1:16:57
  disrupting the line of scrimmage and then getting getting at the
• 1:17:00
  quarterback. Making the quarterback, get rid
• 1:17:02
  of the ball occasionally getting in there for a sec there.
• 1:17:06
  He's also a good tackler above average run stopper for this
• 1:17:11
  unit. And he primarily A, the running
• 1:17:15
  back when they go in to man coverage situations.
• 1:17:17
  So, you'll see him kind of Shadow the running back out of
• 1:17:19
  the backfield on passing Downs. If they're in man.
• 1:17:22
  Coverage. Yeah.
• 1:17:24
  And so far this year, you know, 50 tackles couple for laws.
• 1:17:28
  So, really more of a tackler than what you're seeing, you
• 1:17:32
  know, not a sack Master by any means and, you know, forced
• 1:17:38
  fumble, couple past deflection. So He seems like that guy.
• 1:17:46
  If you get to him, he's going to take you down.
• 1:17:49
  He's not going to get you in the backfield.
• 1:17:50
  He's not going to sack on the quarterback.
• 1:17:52
  He's not gonna be picking the balls off, so good player, not
• 1:17:56
  great, but let's talk to some young.
• 1:17:59
  I mean, it's yeah we got second full year on campus, he's got
• 1:18:04
  some growth there but But like I said, they primarily use him to
• 1:18:13
  Blitz to really disrupt the the line of scrimmage, he doesn't
• 1:18:16
  always get home in terms of making the play, but a lot of
• 1:18:20
  times that's not the goal of sending the blitz it absolutely
• 1:18:25
  isn't. So let's go to one last player
• 1:18:29
  here Sam will kind of Nua. Number 97 Sam obviously outside
• 1:18:37
  linebacker a Juco transfer. Or from beer, from up in Lowell,
• 1:18:43
  Massachusetts, you know, and so far this year, having a really
• 1:18:48
  solid season for them for being a Juco, transfer forty six,
• 1:18:53
  tackles or sacks two-and-a-half additional tackles for loss, is
• 1:18:59
  he their best Edge presence providers or somebody better
• 1:19:01
  than him out there? He's their best balanced Edge,
• 1:19:05
  present presents for sure. He is a big dude.
• 1:19:10
  Yeah, 63 like 275 and need some 180 is 63. 280.
• 1:19:15
  Big dude, coming off the edge. Usually.
• 1:19:18
  Don't see that type of size on guys that aren't already in the
• 1:19:21
  NFL and sometimes you don't see it then and he's he's got good
• 1:19:26
  athleticism 4280. He can be neutralized when you
• 1:19:30
  run away from him because he doesn't have that Elite Edge
• 1:19:33
  speed that you see with some guys in the in the 3-4.
• 1:19:36
  So you can, you can neutralize them a little bit.
• 1:19:40
  By running away from him and he's not an Elite pass rusher.
• 1:19:44
  But he does a good job with his bull rush, obviously, given the
• 1:19:47
  size. You probably expect that.
• 1:19:50
  So, look for him to be the guy that's going to apply some
• 1:19:52
  pressure on those passing Downs. Again, he's not elitist that but
• 1:19:56
  he's so balanced at both, the run in the past and and so good
• 1:20:01
  with that, using his size that he's going to be a load to
• 1:20:04
  handle, especially with, you know, being being down at least
• 1:20:08
  one offensive lineman. On the interior there.
• 1:20:12
  Alright. So there you have it.
• 1:20:14
  Some names to look for next Wednesday.
• 1:20:16
  When we play Maryland, Terrapins, and obviously, we've
• 1:20:20
  got our game plan. Our version.
• 1:20:23
  I'm also watching the end of the Missouri army game.
• 1:20:26
  Missouri up one or me driving. We went split pick on this.
• 1:20:31
  I wouldn't lose. Ooh, Brian, went Army.
• 1:20:33
  So we'll see if we're changing the update to the Bowl Pick'em
• 1:20:36
  so far. But Brian, let's talk about the
• 1:20:39
  Hokies game plan and obviously the Number one thing is, can we
• 1:20:46
  build a team? I think that's the big thing.
• 1:20:50
  Are we gonna have enough guys to safely field a team for this
• 1:20:55
  game? And I think we are.
• 1:20:58
  And that the, you know, the question right now is as we're
• 1:21:02
  getting closer to game time, we haven't been hit by the the
• 1:21:07
  covid bug. Get right?
• 1:21:09
  Okay. You know, a lot of the We're
• 1:21:12
  dealing with is roster management problems and opt-out
• 1:21:15
  problems and guys transferring problems.
• 1:21:18
  We don't have the problems that a Texas A&M is experiencing
• 1:21:22
  right now, but we are dealing with gaps in areas of our team
• 1:21:29
  because of those reasons I just mentioned.
• 1:21:32
  So hopefully something else doesn't come down the pike.
• 1:21:35
  That's going to make a bad situation worse.
• 1:21:37
  We're in a world of hurt on the 29th.
• 1:21:41
  Why, man, Man, here we go. They're inside the 40.
• 1:21:46
  Now 34 seconds left there about 12 yards from field goal Rings
• 1:21:51
  though. Army kickers.
• 1:21:54
  Let's talk about a couple things.
• 1:21:55
  Let's talk about offensive ly. Dude when me and you talked
• 1:22:00
  about this the other day I'm like we're going to run the
• 1:22:03
  going to pass the ball 10 times. I mean we got to control the
• 1:22:07
  clock, right? We're going to have to control
• 1:22:09
  the clock for sure. We're gonna have to limit You
• 1:22:13
  know, we need to maintain that the ball just to limit them
• 1:22:17
  having opportunities on on their offensive side.
• 1:22:19
  But we need to lean on our strength, which is our running
• 1:22:22
  game. We're still going to have more
• 1:22:25
  or less, the the running dynamics of our offense intact
• 1:22:28
  in this game and we need to take advantage of them.
• 1:22:32
  So looking forward to see what what's been drawn up to do.
• 1:22:36
  That knowing corn were to come out and sling it 30 times in the
• 1:22:40
  first half, and I don't know what that looks like but no
• 1:22:46
  right now. I'm expecting a very run-heavy.
• 1:22:49
  Run oriented quarterback power style.
• 1:22:55
  Offensive attack for this game. Yeah, and we have to do it
• 1:23:00
  because they do have a good passing often.
• 1:23:01
  Plus again we looked at the weather forecast, it's not
• 1:23:06
  showing snow or anything but it's still gonna be like 40.
• 1:23:09
  It's going to be a cold day up there on if they get an Arctic
• 1:23:12
  Breeze actually. Know what?
• 1:23:13
  Let's go to the weather forecast.
• 1:23:15
  So, what they're saying a week out, in New York City, New York
• 1:23:20
  predicting. Next Wednesday, actually 52.
• 1:23:25
  So it's going to warm up, but there are gonna be some chances
• 1:23:27
  of rain showers, potentially snow.
• 1:23:30
  So, do that and I think you talked about slaying them all,
• 1:23:34
  we're going to have Jalen Jones. We're going to have shit, they
• 1:23:38
  just got in field goal range. You might be wanting this one,
• 1:23:41
  buddy. Taking shots, right?
• 1:23:45
  Like if we're going to run the ball, a ton of eventually, we're
• 1:23:48
  going to get those free safeties in the Box.
• 1:23:51
  It's likely going to be kind of romantic back there he is.
• 1:23:53
  Number one on the death toll could be be transferring out but
• 1:23:56
  we're going to have to pop some big plays or scheme.
• 1:23:59
  Some big plays. I know you'd love to see like
• 1:24:01
  some running back Throwbacks and stuff like that.
• 1:24:03
  Right. Yeah.
• 1:24:05
  I'd like to see that. I'd like to see a couple big
• 1:24:07
  plays. Get hit.
• 1:24:08
  You know Connor does have a stronger arm than Braxton it's
• 1:24:11
  not an accurate arm. But it is a stronger arm, so if
• 1:24:15
  he can you know is if he's able to have the time to step into it
• 1:24:19
  and drive the ball downfield, you know there might be some
• 1:24:23
  opportunities. Hit some big plays to Jalen
• 1:24:24
  Jones to the Wayne Lofton. She may be Jaden pay you if he's
• 1:24:30
  out there there's going to be some options and I'm saying
• 1:24:33
  young guys names because we're not going to have, obviously to
• 1:24:36
  Rob is transferred trade, Turner's opted out obviously
• 1:24:40
  James Mitchell has been injured. So it's Going full youth
• 1:24:43
  movement on the skill positions, especially at the wide receiver
• 1:24:46
  range here. So we're going to look to, you
• 1:24:50
  know, hopefully hit one into one or two of those guys down field
• 1:24:53
  of a couple times. Just number one.
• 1:24:55
  Keep the - number to take advantage of some of those
• 1:24:59
  mismatches. Absolutely.
• 1:25:00
  Some loaded boxes and opportunities like that.
• 1:25:05
  Here's the game. Let's see, 41-yard, attempt.
• 1:25:08
  We're going to talk about the defense in just a second here.
• 1:25:11
  Folks about what we need. To do to slow down this Maryland
• 1:25:14
  offense snap. Hold there is a flag on the
• 1:25:18
  play. The field goal is good with the
• 1:25:21
  flag for but let's talk, about Braun Bend.
• 1:25:24
  Don't break defense. I have a deaf people because of
• 1:25:27
  what they do offensive ly, If you see us come out and single
• 1:25:33
  high or zero coverage, with the amount of people were missing
• 1:25:38
  Jemaine wall or not, going to play a more bar.
• 1:25:40
  No, not one play George William, you might lose your shit.
• 1:25:45
  Yeah. I mean I think we need to attack
• 1:25:48
  them and their offensive line because they are susceptible
• 1:25:50
  there. But we can't just run cover 1,
• 1:25:53
  cover 0, all game, and hope. For the best, we're going to
• 1:25:57
  have to mix things up. And we're going to have to make
• 1:25:59
  sure that we keep everything in front of us.
• 1:26:02
  So you can still go with those coverage options.
• 1:26:04
  But you got to make sure that you don't get beat Over the Top.
• 1:26:07
  If you get beat, it's underneath, it's in areas where
• 1:26:10
  guys can come up and make a play, make a tackle because if
• 1:26:14
  we let them run up and down the Field.
• 1:26:15
  Get some big plays. It's going to be a long game
• 1:26:19
  especially if we get to run after the catch.
• 1:26:23
  So definitely Bend don't break, is the biggest thing for me?
• 1:26:26
  And like I said, just limit those big passing plays because
• 1:26:29
  that's what they're going to go for to beat us.
• 1:26:32
  And like I said, it's not always going to be shots down the
• 1:26:35
  field, but it's going to be getting their Playmakers in
• 1:26:39
  space, or they can make one guy Miss.
• 1:26:40
  And now a 10, yard, gain turns into a 30-yard Kane.
• 1:26:44
  We need to make sure Days of ten yard game.
• 1:26:47
  Yeah. I mean and I'm hoping, what we
• 1:26:49
  see is a lot of quarters. While colorful covered threes.
• 1:26:52
  I mean, and I think if you're to be realistic and keep thinking
• 1:26:56
  about bringing pressure, we can run quarters and still bring
• 1:26:59
  pressure. Now, what has to happen is you
• 1:27:03
  explain this before, if we're going to do that, the guys who
• 1:27:06
  are sitting back in those zones, they've got a close quick.
• 1:27:09
  Like if we're going to send, we're going to send five or six
• 1:27:12
  and we're going to use the middle of the fields.
• 1:27:13
  Open whoever's playing that back.
• 1:27:15
  Because own got to got to close quickly or what got to come up
• 1:27:20
  in control because I make a sound tackle.
• 1:27:24
  So it's you know, I think cover 6 is going to be probably the
• 1:27:27
  most prevalent coverage. You see that quarter quarter
• 1:27:31
  half look where you can bring an outside linebacker.
• 1:27:35
  You can bring a nickel, you can bring a corner on a blitz and
• 1:27:41
  get home and still have soundness in the back end.
• 1:27:45
  The opportunities will be there. I'm going to just say this.
• 1:27:54
  I'm not giving a prediction this week.
• 1:27:55
  I'm not. I'm abstaining you stay where
• 1:27:59
  I'm abstaining. You can give them A bloodstain.
• 1:28:02
  Is way too many unknown variables.
• 1:28:04
  We have so many people opting out.
• 1:28:06
  We don't know who, we know who's not playing.
• 1:28:10
  We don't know. What is looking like behind in
• 1:28:12
  practice. We don't know what the hell
• 1:28:14
  corns going to do in his last game.
• 1:28:16
  I'm abstaining, I'm not giving a prediction, I hope the Hokies
• 1:28:20
  run all over Maryland's. Terrible Run, Deep.
• 1:28:22
  Sent it is one of the worst in the country.
• 1:28:24
  They're one of the worst scoring defenses in the country, giving
• 1:28:26
  up over 32 again and I hope we can win the game.
• 1:28:29
  If we make it a 12 possession game between both teams, we have
• 1:28:32
  a shot but I'm not getting a protection this week.
• 1:28:39
  I'll give one, just just just to give the The Listener.
• 1:28:44
  Some something that criticize me about if I'm wrong.
• 1:28:48
  I think it's going to be Maryland and it's solely based
• 1:28:51
  on the opt-outs they're playing with a full deck.
• 1:28:55
  They're not having to really adapt their game plan that
• 1:28:58
  they've carried throughout the year.
• 1:28:59
  We're less having to change how we're doing it or who it's going
• 1:29:05
  to In order to even put a team together for this one.
• 1:29:09
  So I think it's going to be a struggle.
• 1:29:12
  I think we keep it close though, but I just think that there,
• 1:29:16
  they played too many too many games together, they have enough
• 1:29:20
  talent to probably push them over the edge there and get the
• 1:29:23
  win. All right, Brian takes Maryland.
• 1:29:27
  I've staying because I don't know enough about our team right
• 1:29:29
  now. All right, Brian Saturday,
• 1:29:32
  pickles for this year we ended after the Army-Navy game.
• 1:29:35
  You said Seventy sixty two and two.
• 1:29:38
  Me 7455 and to so far through bowl season with that field goal
• 1:29:45
  by the Army kicker 41 yards, we're both 5 & 7.
• 1:29:50
  This is why we don't do spreads on the bowl games because it is
• 1:29:53
  a pain in the ass. But tonight we have a texted
• 1:29:58
  Brian this and he was driving, and he went back into twenty
• 1:30:01
  nine eight. 29 picks, Brian. We're picking them all lock in
• 1:30:07
  folks. All right, let's start starting
• 1:30:13
  tomorrow. Frisco Bowl down in Frisco
• 1:30:17
  Texas, Miami of, Ohio, and North Texas.
• 1:30:20
  I'll take the lead on this. I don't know anything about
• 1:30:23
  either of these teams. One's a Mac ones.
• 1:30:25
  Big green. That was an unnecessary
• 1:30:28
  roughness. So, I'm going to go with the
• 1:30:29
  movies here. I'm going to take North Texas to
• 1:30:32
  take this game. I'm kind of with you on this
• 1:30:37
  one, I think North Texas. I've heard more about them this
• 1:30:41
  year than I've heard about Miami of Ohio so I'm going to go
• 1:30:45
  solely off that. I think North Texas pulls it
• 1:30:47
  out. I'ma let you talk about the next
• 1:30:50
  one. I'm going to grab my computer
• 1:30:52
  charger before this bad boy does.
• 1:30:54
  Alright. So the next one y'all is well
• 1:30:59
  there's been a lot of heated rivalries about This one, it's
• 1:31:03
  UCF, it's Florence and the Gasparilla bowl.
• 1:31:08
  There were some tenacious things going on, UCF.
• 1:31:12
  After their big season of going undefeated, they wanted the home
• 1:31:16
  and home. Florida was willing to go with
• 1:31:20
  home home, and then back at the swamp one more time.
• 1:31:24
  So, little tumultuous also, you got Gus Malzahn.
• 1:31:28
  Very familiar floor from this time down at Auburn Florida's
• 1:31:33
  run. Under is much like us underneath
• 1:31:35
  a whole regime change the Napier.
• 1:31:38
  Obviously not in place also building a peered maybe just
• 1:31:41
  need to quit talking, but Brian and put earphones back on here.
• 1:31:49
  I just gave a synopsis of UCF in Florida.
• 1:31:52
  The Gasparilla Bowl, who are you taking?
• 1:31:57
  I'm going to go with UCF here. I feel like they're the more
• 1:32:01
  consistent team even though Florida's got more talent.
• 1:32:05
  I just think UCF, probably is better overall team or
• 1:32:08
  consistent. So let's take UCF here.
• 1:32:11
  I'm going to take Florida, I think I saw a lot from Florida's
• 1:32:14
  players, especially in that FSU game played hard, didn't quit,
• 1:32:18
  clearly like the assistant coach how to take for it.
• 1:32:22
  That's going to be an entertaining game to watch on
• 1:32:25
  both sides, but I think Florida, gets them in the end.
• 1:32:29
  All right. Brian the Hawaii Bowl.
• 1:32:33
  Only one team plays in Hawaii. V always Hawaii this year.
• 1:32:37
  They're playing your Old Coach sill field down at Memphis.
• 1:32:42
  And on this one, I'm going to take the home team.
• 1:32:45
  Give me a why they're used to the Sun, the surf, and all the
• 1:32:49
  fun stuff to do out there. It's just another football game
• 1:32:52
  to them. What about you?
• 1:32:55
  I'd normally go with you, but I'm going to be home or here.
• 1:32:58
  I'm going to go ride, silver feeling Memphis, don't pull it
• 1:33:01
  out. I thought you would be.
• 1:33:04
  All right. Next one.
• 1:33:07
  Camellia Bowl on Christmas Day, Ball State, and Georgia State.
• 1:33:13
  We say on this one, Brian. Let's see, man, I don't know a
• 1:33:21
  whole lot about either. I know more about Georgia, State
• 1:33:23
  than I know about ball State's. I'll take Georgia State.
• 1:33:28
  All right now, probably more Talent top to bottom so we'll
• 1:33:31
  see. I'm gonna go Georgia State
• 1:33:32
  though. All right, I'm gonna go to Ball
• 1:33:35
  State. I know Georgia state's lost a
• 1:33:39
  quarterback coach, and we do know that we know and probably
• 1:33:44
  someone has a lot of input on their offense.
• 1:33:46
  So I'm going to go to Ball State on this one.
• 1:33:48
  Just Strictly on what I know about that.
• 1:33:50
  All right, the always fun, Quick Lane Bowl, Western Michigan
• 1:33:55
  versus Nevada. You know what so Lester Missions
• 1:34:00
  offense earlier this year. Really put some points on fit
• 1:34:03
  had some other good games as well.
• 1:34:05
  I'm going Western Michigan strictly off of beating pit.
• 1:34:12
  That's probably not a bad idea. I think I'm gonna go with
• 1:34:15
  Western Michigan as well. Here, I haven't seen enough of
• 1:34:18
  Nevada. Play to have a good insight
• 1:34:21
  there, but I have seen a couple of Western Michigan outcomes, so
• 1:34:25
  I'll go with them. They're writing the Military
• 1:34:29
  Bowl, the bowl. We're glad we did not get
• 1:34:31
  invited to BC and it's also two teams that take fans hate,
• 1:34:37
  because they're on their own schedule every damn year and
• 1:34:39
  they should not be easy. UBC Mike, used to doing a hell
• 1:34:44
  of a job rebuild me. See you same with halfway up at
• 1:34:47
  BC. Can you look up and see if covid
• 1:34:51
  just playing? I think he is isn't because he's
• 1:34:53
  coming back, right? I'm pretty sure he's playing.
• 1:34:55
  He said he's coming back. So all right.
• 1:34:58
  So who you thinking on this one? Bronze its BC.
• 1:35:01
  It's definitely BC. Okay.
• 1:35:03
  I just think talent-wise, I think your copics probably
• 1:35:07
  played his way back into little bit of healthier.
• 1:35:09
  I think they've got the better over.
• 1:35:12
  Were all roster. I know ecu's doing it.
• 1:35:15
  Some some decent things down there now but I think BC just
• 1:35:19
  got too much talent. Alright, next brought we are
• 1:35:23
  going to go to the Birmingham bowl and we've got Auburn coming
• 1:35:28
  off a damn near upset of Alabama and the Iron Bowl in Houston.
• 1:35:34
  Coming off a really good season under Dana holgorsen, you know,
• 1:35:37
  basically losing two games, all year fighting with Cincinnati in
• 1:35:41
  the a a seat. Championship game.
• 1:35:45
  This is a tough one for me, but I want to go Houston Houston's,
• 1:35:49
  got the consistency Houston. Actually has a quarterback where
• 1:35:54
  the quarterback for Auburn is now going to be Dan Landings on
• 1:36:02
  quarterback out at organ. Yeah, I'm going Houston to I
• 1:36:06
  just think Auburn not having Nick's really probably breaking
• 1:36:11
  in a brand new quarterback. They've been up and down
• 1:36:14
  throughout the The year regardless of that I think
• 1:36:18
  Houston's been the more consistent team so I'll go with
• 1:36:20
  Houston both going Houston there in the Birmingham Bowl.
• 1:36:24
  All right, this is always an interesting.
• 1:36:26
  It's the first responder Bowl Louisville versus Air Force.
• 1:36:30
  What do you say on this one? Bro?
• 1:36:31
  This is going to be at the Cotton Bowl.
• 1:36:36
  Oh man. Um, this is a tough one, but I
• 1:36:39
  think I'm gonna go Louisville here.
• 1:36:41
  They've shown enough flashes throughout the season, where I
• 1:36:43
  think they probably do just enough to pull that one out.
• 1:36:47
  He's on the Louisville. I'm gonna I'm gonna match its to
• 1:36:49
  usual any time, a service Academy plays in a bowl game,
• 1:36:53
  multiple weeks to prepare, for those triple option attacks,
• 1:36:56
  it's usually always good things. I fall short tonight but also
• 1:37:00
  that shown that while we were While we were watching the tech
• 1:37:04
  game they missed numerous chances inside the 5-yard line.
• 1:37:09
  So they were forcing field goals versus kicking or forcing
• 1:37:12
  themselves. Make feel versus kicking
• 1:37:14
  touchdowns was Mizzou so I'm with you on Louisville here.
• 1:37:18
  All right, Brian, Liberty Bowl, Texas, Tech Mississippi, State
• 1:37:23
  air, raid, Sonny. Come D versus Mike Leach.
• 1:37:27
  Over under 110 passes. Come on over over we might hit
• 1:37:34
  130, Sophie got Texas, Tech or Mississippi State.
• 1:37:40
  I'm going with the fighting leeches.
• 1:37:42
  Give me Miss awesome. Would that be some people still
• 1:37:45
  refer to Texas Tech is. Finally, I'm going to go Texas,
• 1:37:53
  Tech gear. The guys, really fought hard for
• 1:37:56
  come. Be companies also being kept on
• 1:37:59
  that staff. By their new head coach.
• 1:38:03
  So I'm going to take Texas Tech with some emotion.
• 1:38:06
  Coming to this game in the, the pupil beats the, the teacher in
• 1:38:13
  this one, ok? Ok.
• 1:38:16
  Super interesting matchup next in the Holiday Bowl UCLA with
• 1:38:20
  The really, the dynamic quarterback.
• 1:38:23
  I know his first name is going what I want to say finney-smith,
• 1:38:26
  but under, that's a basketball player, but UCLA.
• 1:38:31
  State. What do you think on this one
• 1:38:35
  Brian? While I look up the name of the
• 1:38:43
  the player for UCLA because it's going to make me lose my mind.
• 1:38:48
  I'm going to take n c-- State here.
• 1:38:50
  I think their defense is what's going to keep them them in this
• 1:38:53
  game and feed them to a win? I think their defense is just
• 1:38:57
  gonna be too much for UCLA. I'm still I'm still efforting
• 1:39:01
  this here because I really want to know that kid's name because
• 1:39:04
  that is bothering me. NC State's defense.
• 1:39:09
  Yes, but it's again, it's they're flying out west.
• 1:39:13
  I'm not sure what time that game is going to be just a second
• 1:39:18
  here because now that's interested me.
• 1:39:20
  I feel like they always do the this game at like nine not like
• 1:39:24
  10 or 11. So another second here,
• 1:39:30
  definitely NC State's probably had their best season where you
• 1:39:33
  know, UCLA actually not had a bad season 8:00 kick, so not
• 1:39:38
  terrible for NC State. Dorian Thompson Robinson.
• 1:39:45
  Was their quarterback. You'd kind of lit it up this
• 1:39:48
  year, both rushing and passing, but I'm with you NC State better
• 1:39:54
  defense better overall offense. NC State for the win there.
• 1:40:01
  All right, Brian. What are you prefer?
• 1:40:05
  Bow ties or sweater vests or bib overalls?
• 1:40:15
  Man, that's a great question. In this game.
• 1:40:21
  I mean, West Virginia Minnesota. It's just the had to make the
• 1:40:27
  joke there. Yeah.
• 1:40:28
  You know, I'm not sure where I'm leaning on this one.
• 1:40:32
  This was, this is one where I let me help.
• 1:40:35
  I'm taking Minnesota. You take a Minnesota.
• 1:40:37
  I think West Bank West Virginia. Just just for the chit sang.
• 1:40:41
  I think no sodas had to have a great year, but there are way
• 1:40:45
  too many games where West Virginia could have easily lost
• 1:40:48
  her gently could easily be a 4-3 win.
• 1:40:50
  English here. Our game is one of them.
• 1:40:52
  There are few other ones where they literally could have lost
• 1:40:55
  and in not even been close. Probably Neal Brown gets fired
• 1:40:58
  this year so Brian's going to take the cousins, I'm going to
• 1:41:03
  take the sweater vest and row in your boat and p.j.
• 1:41:07
  Fleck. All right, speaking of cousins
• 1:41:10
  are other cousins playing the Fenway Bowl up in Boston vs.
• 1:41:13
  SMU? And on this one brine this one
• 1:41:19
  depending on what the boss can weather is going to be next
• 1:41:22
  Tuesday, which I have that on my phone as well.
• 1:41:24
  So let's do some forecasting there because these are two
• 1:41:27
  heavy throw offenses 46 and potential rain.
• 1:41:34
  I'm going to go SMU even though there's a coaching change, their
• 1:41:41
  other Boonville, we just drink wheat.
• 1:41:43
  No, UVA does not have a rushing offense.
• 1:41:47
  So I'm going to take SMU in this case.
• 1:41:51
  Yeah, I'm taking SMU. They do have a semblance of a
• 1:41:54
  running game even though they like to swing it around, a lot
• 1:41:57
  UVA has none of that. Both of them are missing their
• 1:41:59
  head coaches, a lot of their staff, so I'll take SMU.
• 1:42:04
  Yeah. But SMU had a little bit more
• 1:42:06
  time to prep and that's probably one of those big things that,
• 1:42:10
  you know, you have to kind of think about right, smu's
• 1:42:15
  nonsense, really what? Going on.
• 1:42:18
  What? Four weeks ago?
• 1:42:19
  Sonny come. He was going to TCU as compared
• 1:42:23
  to you gate. Literally found out during Bowl
• 1:42:25
  practice. Oh Broncos.
• 1:42:27
  Leaving like oh shit. He is.
• 1:42:32
  What are we supposed to do here? So yep, we're both on the SMU
• 1:42:37
  training to win up there. All right?
• 1:42:39
  This is a really interesting matchup.
• 1:42:42
  Next prime keys at Bowl. It seems like every year this
• 1:42:46
  bowl is a really good match up down in Orlando, this year's no
• 1:42:49
  different, Clemson versus Iowa State.
• 1:42:52
  What do you got on this one, man?
• 1:42:56
  You know, this was a hard one for me because Iowa State's
• 1:42:59
  probably played better overall, but Clemson played better.
• 1:43:04
  I think the clothes the year out there also losing their
• 1:43:09
  offensive coordinator. I think just from a consistency
• 1:43:13
  standpoint. I'm going to go Iowa State here.
• 1:43:16
  All right, writers, Iowa State. I think the big piece for
• 1:43:21
  Clemson and while I'm picking them is even though they're
• 1:43:24
  losing, Tony Elliott. Streeters taken over Street, has
• 1:43:28
  been in DJ's, are all year. DJ's played better also think on
• 1:43:33
  this one, it's going to be an ugly game.
• 1:43:36
  I think, I don't know what the over-under is on this one.
• 1:43:39
  I have not looked at up. I take the under because you got
• 1:43:42
  to hard-nosed defense. Has it really can play?
• 1:43:44
  I think the offensive Alan of a guy like DJ or ship layer.
• 1:43:49
  Justin Ross can't remember. I think John Ross, might have
• 1:43:52
  opted out. I think Clemson has 1 or 2 more
• 1:43:54
  Playmakers to win this game, something like 2317.
• 1:43:59
  Okay, I get some interesting here Oklahoma.
• 1:44:06
  Again, the we're going to leave you bowl.
• 1:44:08
  Oklahoma, organ in the Alamo Bowl.
• 1:44:12
  Oh man. Lanning, they're venables.
• 1:44:20
  Gee, I don't know to picking this game kind of stain from
• 1:44:23
  this one because we keep records of this.
• 1:44:26
  I'm gonna pick you gotta pick. Oh go organ.
• 1:44:30
  I feel like organ. It wasn't as a shot as it was to
• 1:44:37
  Oklahoma. Like I think Oregon kind of knew
• 1:44:40
  in the back of their mind, if Miami comes open, Mario's
• 1:44:42
  probably going to leave So I'll take Warden, I'm not with that.
• 1:44:48
  I think I think Oklahoma has a little bit more consistency in
• 1:44:51
  terms of the interim that they put in place and things like
• 1:44:56
  that. So I think that Oklahoma is
• 1:44:58
  going to be in a better situation.
• 1:45:00
  Who is interim down, Oklahoma right now, did they put Stoops
• 1:45:04
  in there? Oh yes Tim says yeah you're
• 1:45:07
  right yeah I don't know who the organ one is.
• 1:45:10
  I just think it's a lot of bitter pills to swallow their
• 1:45:13
  even though Rattlers off the team with a couple other guys.
• 1:45:16
  I'll take Orion I'll say this. I think that games going to go
• 1:45:19
  way over. Yeah.
• 1:45:21
  Way over as the Alamo Bowl seems every year to go over.
• 1:45:25
  I don't think I've ever seen Alamo Bowl go under and I'm
• 1:45:28
  probably wrong. All right.
• 1:45:31
  Dear Lord. Did you see the potato bowl last
• 1:45:34
  night? I did, did you see The Dumping
• 1:45:37
  of the potatoes? It was epic.
• 1:45:39
  It was but Shane, Beamer and Mack Brown.
• 1:45:43
  Have both said if they win, they're going to take the
• 1:45:45
  mayonnaise bath. The Dukes Mayo Bowl, UNC versus
• 1:45:49
  U SC South Carolina. Brian.
• 1:45:54
  Who do you have in this game? Shane or the team.
• 1:46:00
  We probably hate the most. You know what?
• 1:46:03
  This is a game of the overachievers versus The
• 1:46:07
  Underachievers. And I'm going to take the
• 1:46:08
  overachievers, I'm going to take the fighting Shane beavers.
• 1:46:13
  All right? All right, I'm going to be exact
• 1:46:16
  opposite of you on that, man. I'm going to take the
• 1:46:18
  Underachievers with the month to prep. and hold on the same how
• 1:46:26
  playing that's going to be about a turning factor is saying how
• 1:46:30
  playing Is Sam how playing if Sam health plan on taking you
• 1:46:36
  and see if not? I'm gonna follow you.
• 1:46:39
  I haven't seen, I haven't followed him enough to.
• 1:46:42
  Alright well hold on a second. I'm gonna get this while I type
• 1:46:46
  it up back here. That's what I use.
• 1:46:48
  He's playing in the bowl game. Yep, give me you and seek Give
• 1:46:53
  me U and prep. All right.
• 1:46:58
  The Hendon hooker Bowl. The Music City Bowl, Tennessee
• 1:47:02
  versus Purdue hopes going to roll.
• 1:47:07
  Purdue Purdue does not have a good defense.
• 1:47:09
  It's probably going to be a good shootout.
• 1:47:11
  I think Tennessee has more talent and hooker.
• 1:47:15
  Yeah, I'm taking the fighting hookers as well.
• 1:47:17
  So give me Tennessee. I think they it's not a blowout
• 1:47:22
  but I think they handle a pretty good start to finish.
• 1:47:26
  All right, next this is where we kind of get into some of the
• 1:47:30
  better bowls. The Peach Bowl Pit without Kenny
• 1:47:35
  Pickett. And it hasn't finalists and
• 1:47:40
  Michigan State without Kenneth Walker on best running backs in
• 1:47:44
  the country this year. Who are you taking in this game
• 1:47:49
  of the best players on our offense aren't playing?
• 1:47:54
  I'm taking Michigan State and I'm taking them solely because I
• 1:47:58
  think running back is an easier position to replace.
• 1:48:01
  And I think that if it had Kenny Pickett, I'd be all over pit
• 1:48:06
  because of Michigan, State's secondary, Bethany, picket
• 1:48:11
  without Kenny picket. It's Michigan State.
• 1:48:13
  Absolutely. You, you took the words out of
• 1:48:16
  my mouth. Michigan, state is so bad on the
• 1:48:18
  back end, pick it probably could have made himself a few more.
• 1:48:24
  Probably went from being the 15 to 20, the potentially being a
• 1:48:27
  top ten pick, if he plays in this game, but he doesn't, you
• 1:48:30
  know, you know what it is right after doing that fake slide
• 1:48:33
  bullshit Kenny's fucking afraid that he does that again, he will
• 1:48:37
  get his fucking head taken off by somebody.
• 1:48:39
  I'm sure Mel puckered be like, oh, he looks like he's gonna
• 1:48:41
  slide, just go for it. Michigan, State roles.
• 1:48:46
  I think they win by two touchdowns because you go throw
• 1:48:50
  a guy who's throwing the ball, 24 times out there against that.
• 1:48:53
  I don't have any Discrepancy gets all right, here's an
• 1:48:57
  interesting one. Brian Vegas Bowl which this
• 1:49:01
  bowl. Now, remember, Vegas Bowl used
• 1:49:04
  to be the Bowl before Christmas. Now one of the bowls right near
• 1:49:07
  New Year's. Wow I'm shocked.
• 1:49:09
  But the big nice, new stadium. I wonder why they've done that.
• 1:49:14
  Arizona state Wisconsin, can the ACC get a time.
• 1:49:16
  We're not playing at UNLV Stadium when you know, their
• 1:49:19
  plan. Oh wait.
• 1:49:22
  I mean I feel like Everybody should be stomping like, listen,
• 1:49:30
  we need to rotate this bowl. Game amongst all five of us, so
• 1:49:33
  we can always send somebody there because we know we will
• 1:49:35
  sell out. Yep, Wisconsin's own estate.
• 1:49:39
  What do you say? You know, I think I'm going to
• 1:49:45
  go with Zone to stay here, Wisconsin, little down this
• 1:49:48
  year, in terms of what we were used to from them.
• 1:49:55
  You know, they might not have a certain coach on their staff at
• 1:49:59
  some point in the near future. So I don't know if that's that's
• 1:50:03
  a change. So I'm gonna go with Zone,
• 1:50:05
  estate here. Okay, but you play to win the
• 1:50:08
  game, you play to win the game Herm, place to win the game
• 1:50:12
  both. In 4.
• 1:50:17
  Both up and down. I just feel like Wisconsin was
• 1:50:20
  more consistent. They had some games this year,
• 1:50:23
  they could have probably won and they lost I'm gonna go
• 1:50:25
  Wisconsin. Even though a certain person
• 1:50:28
  might not be there, we don't know the full status of that
• 1:50:32
  yet. We're still waiting on it.
• 1:50:33
  We're really hoping it happens but until it's announced we're
• 1:50:37
  going to keep your mouth shut but the but everything's out
• 1:50:42
  there. Everything's blowing, you know,
• 1:50:44
  you're seeing Wisconsin fans talking about it openly.
• 1:50:46
  Me and Brian Gator Bowl. Wake or whoever the hell he
• 1:50:52
  play. I'm taking week I'm taking wait
• 1:50:56
  to move on Texas A&M as we talked about earlier out because
• 1:51:01
  of the virus protocol. Personally I think Texas A&M
• 1:51:06
  just in one playing the game. They probably have like six guys
• 1:51:09
  that are in virus protocol and they're like, we can't make it.
• 1:51:13
  It's it's not what they want to do because they want to play in
• 1:51:17
  big games like New Year's Day games, All right, we got a
• 1:51:22
  couple more before we hit the New Year's Day and the two big
• 1:51:26
  ones on New Year's Eve. Yep, right Brian.
• 1:51:30
  The Sun Bowl, Miami versus Wazoo Miami kind of good down the
• 1:51:36
  stretch. I'm going to take Miami in this
• 1:51:39
  game was ooh, even though they're keeping actually take
• 1:51:43
  that back, I forgot lawsuit. Hired their interim, didn't they
• 1:51:45
  Hua? Zhu by 20?
• 1:51:51
  Yeah, I'm going to I'm going to stick with Miami.
• 1:51:54
  I think they they pull it out. All right.
• 1:51:57
  The crystal ball is coaching the game of having some involvement.
• 1:52:00
  I'd go that. But remember while Zoo fire role
• 1:52:03
  of it earlier in the year than higher, as interim, they were
• 1:52:06
  borderline going to make the Pac-12 Championship.
• 1:52:09
  Had a chance. We'll go there.
• 1:52:11
  All right, the Arizona bowl by Barstool Boise vs Central
• 1:52:16
  Michigan. Do you say on this one?
• 1:52:19
  I'm going to take Central Michigan here.
• 1:52:23
  The pimp, ya gotta support for a guys support pantomime with you
• 1:52:29
  Boise. Definitely?
• 1:52:30
  Not their usual brand, kind of down this year, so I'm with you.
• 1:52:36
  I am Brian. Those games are actually New
• 1:52:39
  Year's Eve. So like that on your calendar,
• 1:52:43
  the next games are New Year's Day and then we're gonna double
• 1:52:45
  back for the playoff games, Outback Bowl, Arkansas versus
• 1:52:50
  Penn State. Brian, I'm just Be straight up
• 1:52:54
  with you Arkansas has impressed me all year.
• 1:52:57
  Penn State does not have Brent pry, he's a hokie now Penn
• 1:53:01
  State. I'm not sure of the opt out, but
• 1:53:03
  just give me Arkansas. I think it's just one of those
• 1:53:06
  games where that team competed with everyone they played with
• 1:53:11
  the exception of Georgia to Bama to the Limit, give me Arkansas.
• 1:53:14
  First, big bowl for a for them in a while.
• 1:53:17
  Yeah, I'm gonna lean Arkansas here as well, and for many of
• 1:53:21
  the reasons that you said, I think Brent, pry Factor
• 1:53:24
  obviously in place and then you've got some trickle down to
• 1:53:30
  the other positions with opt outs and things like that.
• 1:53:33
  So I think the combination of those two, I think Arkansas.
• 1:53:36
  It's theirs to lose. All right, well the new year.
• 1:53:40
  Six bowls right here. Brian we've already discussed
• 1:53:43
  one Notre Dame Fighting Irish against Oklahoma state, two of
• 1:53:47
  the best defenses in the country.
• 1:53:49
  Who do you got in this? What looks like potential
• 1:53:52
  defensive struggle down in the desert.
• 1:53:58
  I want to I want to give this one a state, I think.
• 1:54:02
  Okay. I was leaning Irish, but I think
• 1:54:07
  I think okey state has probably a bad taste in their mouth, the
• 1:54:09
  way they things, wrapped up for them.
• 1:54:11
  I think they want to get one back.
• 1:54:13
  All right, I would agree with you there.
• 1:54:16
  Most of the time, but I think in this case, Hiring Marcus
• 1:54:22
  Freeman. Keeping that continue to going
• 1:54:25
  on Tommy re staying on his offensive coordinator and you
• 1:54:30
  talk about a bounce-back. How do you bounce back from
• 1:54:34
  literally jumping two inches short, If that kid takes off,
• 1:54:40
  two inches later. One step later half a step
• 1:54:43
  later, there's discussion that they're playing Alabama in the
• 1:54:48
  Cotton Bowl. I don't think the bounce-back
• 1:54:50
  happens. I think the Irish win this game,
• 1:54:52
  I still think it's going to be, it's gonna be a hard hitting
• 1:54:54
  this going to be a tight game, but give me the Irish.
• 1:54:59
  All right. But all right, in the Citrus
• 1:55:01
  Bowl, we've got Iowa versus Kentucky, man.
• 1:55:06
  This is another under Fest here. Who are you, taking Getting
• 1:55:09
  actually I'll leave this one on. Give me Iowa.
• 1:55:13
  Give me I owe on this one. I think I was a little more
• 1:55:15
  consistent. I'll take Iowa, I'll take
• 1:55:23
  Kentucky. I like their way of controlling
• 1:55:25
  the clock control, the flow of the game.
• 1:55:26
  So I think they're going to do that a little bit better than
• 1:55:29
  Iowa overall over under 12, possessions, for this game under
• 1:55:38
  everybody, they're going to have everybody's getting five drive,
• 1:55:42
  six minutes of peace, be ready for them.
• 1:55:45
  I actually be ready for what Iowa or Kentucky, have the
• 1:55:48
  11-play 89 yard drive that literally, last, there's going
• 1:55:52
  to be four of those. What are you talking about?
• 1:55:55
  Prime prime looking for a parlay that I want to go over 8 48,
• 1:56:01
  plus minute drives. All right, Ron granddaddy of
• 1:56:04
  them, all Rose Bowl, Utah versus Ohio.
• 1:56:08
  State, what do you think on this one?
• 1:56:12
  I think it's going to be Ohio State.
• 1:56:13
  I think they're going to be able to throw the ball a lot better
• 1:56:15
  than they did against Michigan. I think that's going to be the
• 1:56:17
  difference. I like Utah.
• 1:56:20
  But I think I say she's gonna have a little too much gas.
• 1:56:24
  I agree with you. Ohio State little bit too much
• 1:56:26
  gas. You told good defensively.
• 1:56:28
  Got the right quarterback. Finally got rid of Charlie
• 1:56:30
  Brewer, sent him over to Liberty over that kidneys to retire.
• 1:56:34
  Seriously, I think it's one of those games Utah hangs in there
• 1:56:39
  until about late third quarter. Ohio State puts the hammer down.
• 1:56:43
  They end up winning like 3824 3828.
• 1:56:46
  I think is going to be a good game but eventually that Sugar
• 1:56:51
  Bowl you want to talk about to contrast in Styles Lane kiffin
• 1:56:56
  and Ole Miss wide open. Go for it on fourth down sling,
• 1:57:00
  it all over the place versus Dave, Aranda and Baylor, slow it
• 1:57:04
  down. Play tough nose defense, Do you
• 1:57:07
  like tough? No defense, Brian?
• 1:57:09
  Or do you like slinging around? I like slinging around as much
• 1:57:13
  as the next person, but I think tough news defense wins this
• 1:57:15
  one. So I'm going to take Baylor All
• 1:57:18
  right, I'm going to go against you as much as I want to agree
• 1:57:23
  that tough nose. Usually win.
• 1:57:24
  Most of the time I think Lane is feeling himself, I think he's
• 1:57:30
  going to throw a few really, really trick plays out.
• 1:57:33
  And I think, I think Ole Miss ends up winning this one.
• 1:57:39
  Well, Brian, we have got to number 28 and 29.
• 1:57:45
  The big ones we are 2 minutes, 2 hours, and 10 minutes in.
• 1:57:50
  We expected, keep the last about 30, but I think the second you
• 1:57:54
  pull him on before, when we were doing the pregame I think we
• 1:57:59
  probably can you do right there? Like yeah, this is go run more
• 1:58:02
  than 30. We're going more than the fact
• 1:58:05
  with Keith is a Again, I go back to thinking 94 and I'm like,
• 1:58:09
  dude, you play with all these guys crazy.
• 1:58:12
  But um, something we talked about in the pre 1993 94 and 95
• 1:58:20
  were the precursors to what we have today with the business.
• 1:58:24
  And then this in 1994 and Penn State didn't play the Braska 93
• 1:58:29
  would Notre Dame. Didn't get a chance at Nebraska
• 1:58:33
  It started where we're at today and it's why we're going to be
• 1:58:36
  at 12 in just a few short years. Yeah, I said 12 Wing going to 8
• 1:58:40
  but Brian the Cotton Bowl. Cinderella Cincinnati versus the
• 1:58:45
  Death Star in Alabama. Yep you started the last one.
• 1:58:50
  I'm going to start this one. I think this is going to be more
• 1:58:53
  of a game than people think. I think pickles got a hell of a
• 1:58:57
  defensive mind and I think where we have seen it is at times.
• 1:59:04
  Bama gets good defense as struggle.
• 1:59:07
  Now the breaking news today. I can't flip my prediction with
• 1:59:13
  Bill O'Brien and Doug Marrone. The o.c., the quarterback coach
• 1:59:16
  in the offensive line coach being out there in buyers
• 1:59:18
  protocol. So they're going to be at the
• 1:59:21
  game coaching but they're not going to be there for install.
• 1:59:26
  I think Bama wins this one but I think this is a hell of a lot
• 1:59:29
  closer than the experts thing. It's that 14, or at like 13 to
• 1:59:34
  half, I think this is like an eight or nine point.
• 1:59:38
  I think it's closer than that. I think it's a touchdown late to
• 1:59:42
  give it to, Bam. I still think Bama pulls it out,
• 1:59:45
  but this is going to show that A G5 really good G5, team can
• 1:59:52
  belong in this scenario and it's going to set the stage for when
• 1:59:55
  we get to 12. A G5 team deserves a shot every
• 1:59:59
  year just like compete by teams. Ask Brian I sent him a soliloquy
• 2:00:05
  and a essay on the 12 team playoff, which we might talk
• 2:00:09
  about in the early part of next year.
• 2:00:11
  Brian got to read about 8,000 words.
• 2:00:14
  Sorry, buddy. All right.
• 2:00:17
  Last one. Orange bolt down in Miami.
• 2:00:21
  Georgia versus Michigan. What do you think on this one?
• 2:00:25
  Brian? Lot of contrasting Styles here.
• 2:00:30
  You know what I think the biggest factor is going to be is
• 2:00:34
  that you know, Michigan is more or less riding a good wave right
• 2:00:39
  now and I think that you know, there's going to be a lot of
• 2:00:44
  continuity with their staff. They know who they're working
• 2:00:46
  with, they're not focused on other things.
• 2:00:49
  I think that's going to be the thing that carries Michigan over
• 2:00:51
  the top there, I'm with you. I'm with you consistency.
• 2:00:56
  I mean, these tubes are these two, teams are a lot of mirror
• 2:00:59
  images of each other, especially defensively.
• 2:01:02
  I think we're all offensively is Josh Gad is has a few more
• 2:01:06
  tricks up his sleeves than Georgia does, I think George has
• 2:01:10
  run the ball. Take some shots screens, where
• 2:01:13
  you saw in the Iowa game Gaddis early, he Unleashed a few things
• 2:01:17
  on and I really think after seeing family do what they did
• 2:01:26
  and you know Will Anderson got a gal, a and Hutchinson On the
• 2:01:30
  edge with Michigan. I think, Michigan wins this game
• 2:01:33
  24:17 and I think it sets up for 12.
• 2:01:40
  Big programs to Big personalities at the national
• 2:01:44
  championship, which unfortunately is on a Monday
• 2:01:47
  night on Thursday. All right, buddy.
• 2:01:55
  This is our last episode of the year.
• 2:02:00
  And this has been one hell of a year. and I say that, because
• 2:02:16
  everything that's happened this year on this podcast, in our
• 2:02:21
  personal lives with Hokie Football, There's a lot of thank
• 2:02:29
  yous to go out. This year. when we started this
• 2:02:37
  thing about 22 months ago, I don't think we ever envisioned
• 2:02:45
  in the amount of followers. We have the amount of listens,
• 2:02:49
  you know? Last year, when we were
• 2:02:52
  averaging, what? 75 listens.
• 2:02:55
  Write something a little bit higher than that.
• 2:02:57
  But yeah, you learn that we were still building.
• 2:03:00
  We're still building. And I mean in what the last six
• 2:03:05
  months, what six months we've doubled.
• 2:03:08
  We're pretty much 500 an episode now, which is You know, that's a
• 2:03:14
