• 0:34
  Speaker 1: my joke out the right way this time because we're
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: going to talk about how the Sooners went in and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: thunderclapped all over the Gators. They went in there and
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: they actually wrapped their noses up and probably one of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: the best taunts ever. Then, Jason Witten, we got to
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: give him some praise and worship. We're going to talk
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: about this defense too because guess what? The defense deserves
• 0:53

• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I am not the most interesting man in the world.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I have entered a call on mute. But, y'all, yeah,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: this was a busy weekend, and I will say this.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It felt good. It felt good watching football last night
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: and got several text messages saying this was fun. And so, yeah,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I think that's where I'm at personally. Obviously, you enjoy
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: the moment. You enjoy a lot of the different things.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: But I'm not going to talk about yeah buts because
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you go on the road to the swamp. It's supposed
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: to be a really, really hard place to play. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you go get your W. You go get a W
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: to where you win that entire game everywhere. Every bit
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Start to finish.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: From start to finish. And so let me preface this
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: up front and say it now because I've already seen
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it in the comments. This pumper breaks. It's one game.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: It's one game, guys. It's one game. But we do
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: have reason for optimism. We do have reason for excitement.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: We do have reasons of feeling good because this, you
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: know what this game reminded me of, Coop? It reminded
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: me of a better... Not even really... In a way,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it could be. A better managed South Carolina last year
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: in South Carolina. Score was similar. We won that game 24-9.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: We won this one 23-7. We ran the ball better
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: at South Carolina last year. But this one, it felt
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: like you were just executing at a high level. You were.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: You were converting consistently throughout the game. You were 10
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for 18 on third downs. You were, if you name it,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: everything looked good for Oklahoma in this game as far
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: as efficiency goes. You outgained them 351 to 203. A
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: team that, let's not kid ourselves, they've got a bunch
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: of athletes and great players on that team. They've got
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a lot of good and great players. Very high talent roster.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: They're poorly coached. We'll just say that. They are poorly coached.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: They're not coached very well right now. And it's not a...
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: It's a knock on John Summerall and Buster Faulkner. As
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a few of our folks, shout out to our guy, Doom,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: as he has completely pointed out that there's a reason
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: why he didn't want Buster Faulkner. And that game looked
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: like it. They looked bad. It looked very disjointed on offense.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was a lot of us. Maybe it was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: a mixture of them. But to me... I do want
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: to pump the brakes while also giving some good praise.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Jason Witten and John Mateer looked really good together. It
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: felt like they had been working together for a while.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And I think the biggest thing that Witten gave John
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: was not only the confidence, but it really felt like
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he picked the stuff that he knows John is good
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: at and they ran it. That was my main takeaway
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: from this game. He picked stuff that he knew John
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: was good at. He picked stuff that John told him
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: he was good at, and they ran it. And it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: looked like it was just pure execution.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So do you know that John, I guess that's the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: hard part about watching a quarterback like John, because when
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: this whole thing came about, Jay, your message to a
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: lot of people was that He's going to turn the
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: ball over, and he's going to do some, like, WTF moments.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: But he has the capability to do what you saw
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: last night. And remember, this is like a– John is
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: probably in that South Carolina game. There was a point
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: where I think that was the lowest it was for John.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: And with– so you're not just coaching a dysfunctional offense–
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you're trying to build back up a quarterback that had
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: pretty much lost that fire, right? And right from the get-go,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you come out, you saw some of the John, you
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: saw some of the old John that we want to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: go away. But Jason, number one thing that Jason Witten
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: brought last night was accountability. And it was the first
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: time that I saw accountability on the field for the offense,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: you mess up and there was a, oh crap. And I,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I talked about it. I said, when it was, when
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: it was CD lamb or Hollywood or, you know, one
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of those guys messing up the offense for us, you
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: knew that we were good enough to actually overcome that.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: We're not, we haven't been good enough to overcome mistakes
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: and there hasn't been anybody getting their backside shootout because
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: our buckle just didn't do it. And you saw John,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: make some mistakes. And you saw Jason Whitten, not just
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: talk to John, but talk to the entire offense and
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: get in there and have those conversations. When Manny choice
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: had a blunder, you saw, you know, you saw a
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: little bit of an ask you in there. And so
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you saw hope and it wasn't like we, you know,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: last year you, you, you saw a lot of John
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: just eventually made the play and it was a big play.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: And it usually was to, to sustain, sustain you. This year,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: You really haven't seen that. We haven't been bailed out
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: by a big play. And Jason Witten built an offense
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: last night. 350 on the road in the swamp. And again,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, they've held some pretty decent teams down. When
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: they've been losing over the past year in Florida, it's
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: typically because the offense just couldn't do anything and that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: defense finally just gave it in. And you seemed like Again,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: no film on Jason Witten offense, so probably hard to
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: prepare for, but you knew exactly what was going to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: happen from the material and the OU offense. You knew
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: where the pitfalls were. And last night, those pitfalls just
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: didn't come.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: It felt like they were prepared. Yeah. That is really
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the simplest way to put it. They felt completely prepared
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: for this opponent. Again, you're right. The one thing that's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: why I temper a lot of the expectations, there's not
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: much film on... There's nothing to prepare for. Right, there's
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: nothing to prepare for when it comes to what Jason
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Witten's going to do. You ain't got it because... He
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: don't exist. He's only called plays at the high school level.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: So it's not something that you can be like, oh,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this is the things that we're going to expect coming
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: out of Jason Witten. You didn't have that. Instead, you
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: had him going out there with John and, like I said,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: making him feel comfortable. Now, this is where... I don't
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: like wishing ill of those that are no longer here
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: with us. And it's not really wishing ill, but I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: don't like really talking about a lot of the past things.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: But this is something that did jump out to me
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: about the whole Ben Arbuckle situation and the difference with
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that in this game. So one thing I really did
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: notice and you all got excited about, talked about it
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the morning after, definitely something to note. john threw 13
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: completions in the first half coop do you know how
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: many different receivers he hit.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: In the first half i'm gonna go with 13 completions
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to eight.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Close he was seven so yeah you're right there at
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: it he had seven different receivers catch one of his
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: 13 passes in the first half. So what you didn't
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: see was force feeding the ball to Satania all game long.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Now granted, Satania did have eight targets. He is supposed
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to have eight to 10 targets, but that should happen
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: throughout the game. Not nonstop in the beginning. The disbursement
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: was great. 33 pass attempts, a lot more pass attempts
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: than I would have wanted in this game, but I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: was okay with it because I think I knew what
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Jason was trying to do. He was trying to build
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: a rhythm. And the good thing is his rhythm kept
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: being consistent because we had three drives that were just amazing. Amazing.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: You had a five-minute drive to start the game that
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: led to points. You had a seven-minute drive to also
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: lead to points. You score on three of your first
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: four drives. There was only four actual drives in the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: first quarter, Coop. Five in the second quarter. And the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: main reason was because we was burning clock. Mm-hmm. Then
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you had that amazing 20-play, 89-yard, the longest one we've
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: done in 20 years. That was 12 minutes and 45 seconds. Like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: I think Tramell Jones was on the sideline looking like, dude,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: am I ever going to get back on the field?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It was beautiful.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Well, I say this. So the drive, it ends in
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: a touchdown. We've seen some long drives end in a
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: field goal before.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: But, I.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Mean, when you're dropping the since 2005, 20 years, right,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: that's how bad it's gotten on offense around here that
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: we are just like looking for something to be excited about.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I was excited about a lot of different stuff.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: But all in all, you said it to start the
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: thing off and let's not bear the lead. You find
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: out what John was going to be really, really good at,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: and you go do that. Jason Witten, everybody who maybe
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: doubted what that was going to look like, I expected simplicity.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: And I said it. It's the game plan for OU
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: and Florida going into the game. You just do what
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: you can do and don't make the mistake. And it
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: was for both sides. And just don't make the mistake.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And Though the running backs weren't averaging big-time yardage, if
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: I remember correct, I think both of the bulk of
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: the carries were in the 4-point-something yards per carry. Let's
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: see here. Avant had 3.6, Blalock had 4.3, poor Jonathan
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: Hatton 1.8, and John at 4. So you average right
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: around in that 4 yards per carry. And that's basically
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: what we said needed to happen out of the running
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: game because that's your step one is develop some consistency. Well, Jade,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: the best consistency that I saw is 40 carries. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: I might have to go back and look, and if
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: you have it off the top of your head, but
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: against a P4 opponent, like when's the last time that
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: we had 40 carries and actually did good damage?
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Was that what– Was it South Carolina? Maybe that was–
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: do we do that in Mississippi State? Let me see.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. But you saw the– while you're looking up,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: you saw the commitment. No, we're going to run the ball.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And I'm not going to change that approach if we
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: run for eight on first down or one on first down.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many times during some of these
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: successful drives– We saw second and nine or second and eight,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: and we just went right back to it and kept
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: on going to the run.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were actually ahead of the sticks the vast
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: majority of the game. And, yes, Mississippi State, we ran
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the ball 41 times for 184 yards. That was our
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: best rushing output of the season. was that one. We
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: ran for 184 yards on 41 carries, 40 carries for
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: 144 in this game. We may not have had the
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: best average there. John did run the ball to me
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit more than I wanted, but the fact
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: that you had, out of the 40 carries, he only
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: had 14, I'm okay with that. He did run the ball.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: He's a player that you have to kind of run
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: the ball with to keep teams honest, and he actually
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: did really good. The play calling on his runs were
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: way better this time around than they were last the
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: earlier in this season last year the play calls for
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: john to run and ben did a good really good
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: job of doing but it didn't feel like this season
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: he was actually in that bag it felt like he
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: was like all over the place that time around this
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: one this game this felt like michigan as steve type
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: run plays they had john doing yeah and.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And John had intent. It wasn't like, oh, it's my number,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: and I just need to figure it out. John's had
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a really tough time following blockers, and it felt like
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: the running blocking was set up pretty well. There were
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: still four guys that typically were doing good, and then
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: somebody had a little bit of a tough rep. But
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: instead of us getting tackled in the backfield, we were
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: having somebody who, Instead of Avant or instead of Blalock,
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: Blalock just looked like he was, I mean, an inch
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: away from breaking big runs multiple times. And I feel
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: like they're trying to kind of get him slowly back
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: into the flow of things. He just runs so damn
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: hard that eventually he's going to hit somebody pretty hard,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be tough. It's going to be
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: hard on him. So, but... It was. If someone did
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: somewhat lose a rep or maybe an even rep between
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: an offensive lineman and a D-tackle, somebody was getting the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: running back three yards after a three-yard gain. It wasn't
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: behind the line of scrimmage. And so you saw that.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: That's a building block. And so you're hoping that the
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: building block continues to move on to the next game.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: But I think that, if anything, I can say that
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: this offense is probably– walking into the training facility tomorrow,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: feeling a little bit more confidence than they felt in
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: quite a long time.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. 40 carries, 33 pass attempts, good balance. We did
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: 73 plays. They only had, like– What, they had like
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: 50-something plays? Let me see. They had... Actually, yeah, they ran...
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: They ran, yeah. They ran 47 plays to our 73.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: We just owned the ball. That is the complimentary football
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: we've talked about about four Brent Venables that would make
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: this defense so much better. And the defense showed. 203 yards. Now,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, that first... The first drive had me a
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: little concerned. Dallas Wilson was getting off early. They kept
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: going to him. I mean, four plays. They were really
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: force-feeding him the ball. They didn't really get the ball
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: to Jaden Baugh, which I'm totally okay with. And Baugh
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: hasn't been as good as he normally is. That touchdown
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: run was fantastic. It was a great play design. But overall,
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: we stuffed the run. 70 yards rushing for them in
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: this game. Jones, before that final drive, he had like
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: 96 passing yards in this game. We were in. You
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: didn't let him do anything. And the good thing for
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: them is he played instead of Philo. I think if
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Philo would have played instead of the two interceptions, the
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: one in the end zone and the one to close
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the game out, we probably would have had a third
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: one returning for a touchdown because Philo likes giving up
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: the ball.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: And in bad, he has catastrophic turnovers.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, he has really catastrophic turnovers. He really does. And
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it's always just like, dog, what was you thinking when
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: you did that? But looking at the numbers in this game,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the comparisons just, the penalties, of course, like, yeah, everybody
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: mentioned the refs. I thought the refs were awful in
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: this game. I thought they were awful in the Texas-Missouri game.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: I think they were awful in most of the games today, yesterday.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: They were pretty brutal. But 10 for 18 on third down.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: That's excellent conversion to their two of nine. They didn't
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: even get, they got half as many third downs as
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: us because we did not let them stay on the
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: field long. They just weren't converting. Over two on fourth,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: which was fantastic. Shout out to us actually manning up
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: in that one. The fact, let me see, you got
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: three sacks and a tackle for loss. They only got
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: one sack and a tackle for loss. You were out
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: there getting them. They, yeah. And then you only gave
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: up one touchdown in the red zone. Like I said,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the big thing with them is they, Florida's got athletes.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: They are not very well coached right now. And I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: think it's a new coach trying to figure it out.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: It's, I'm just looking through here, Jay, because I've got,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: bear with me, great podcasting. Here we go. All right,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: so they had The touchdown, which, you know, again, we'd
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: go three and out on offense. The punt, he just–
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: I think that we over-pursued a little bit more. They
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: get the ball at midfield, and they score in four. plays.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Their longest, their other two longest, let's see here, they
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: had a four-play drive, eight-play drive, which resulted in nothing.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: Four-play drive, touchdown, four-play drive, two plays, three, nine ending
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: in an interception, three, four, and six ending in an interception.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: The any time that they got I mean we've said
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: it about the defense and especially going up against the
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: guy at Trammell he's not a freshman this wasn't his
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: first start but still it is a first first year
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: quarterback um going up Brent Venable's defense it and especially
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: one that was a little pissed off from the week
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: before uh it was it was masterful and we give
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: up the one listen If you give up one touchdown
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: drive for the guy who's probably the number one running
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: back coming in the draft this year, you live with that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: One drive, though. But you just suffocated them. It is
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: absolutely suffocating. And all throughout, the defensive line was causing chaos.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: Great games from Danny. Great games from PJ. Taylor Wine
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: was causing a lot of havoc. There's something when we're
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: on defense and an offensive lineman grabs you and holds you.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I guess it's called holding. We got a couple of
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: those calls. And I bet we probably have had holding
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: on the offense against our defensive line. I would say
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: less than 10 times the past two years. We just
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: don't get those calls.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, we don't. We typically don't.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: There was one where they tackled Okoye, that right tackle.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I think that after the second drive of the game,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I think their right tackle was pretty much just, it
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: was rough. You know, Danny got in his head. Whoever
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: was over there got in his head. Jake Crell hit
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: him with a little hee-hee for a false start. Like,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: all those defensive ends were balling. And Stone and Jackson
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: were out there doing great things also. And that's where
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: everything started. They had to earn. And they didn't want
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: to be in the third and long and second and
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: longs just like us. And you knew that they were pressing.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: It was a bad– I mean, it's bad offense. They
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: got away with some. I think one of the bigger
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: plays they hit us on, we typically don't drop into
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of zone, and we dropped into a zone.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: And I think Wilson got two of his four catches
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: against the zone. He read that really, really well, and
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the pocket stayed up clean enough, and they went after it. So,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: you know, on one side you saw a struggling offense–
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: that there was nothing. There was no plan. There was
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: no design. There was nothing out there for the Florida
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: offense that looked like it was going to, you know,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: compilate into something good. Whereas on our offense, you felt
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: like there was a plan. And maybe that's just because
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: we're Sooner fans and we're watching the Sooner fans, watching
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: the game. And, you know, we saw some similarities towards competency.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: But it just seemed like one side had a plan,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: one side did not. And this game, the 23-7, I mean,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: we're a couple of just, eh, we should have done
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: better right there and a couple of penalties. I mean,
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: this maybe should have been a 40-point game.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: Could have been if you had an offense that was
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: high-powered enough. But baby steps. We're going to maintain the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: baby step theory here. Until we see the full-fledged consistency. But, no,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: that was a very strong audition for Jason Witten there.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I do want to dive more into the defense because
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: I really want to give them their love because the
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: bounce back that they provided, buddy. That was the bounce
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: back that we was hoping for. If there was a
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: bounce back for them to have, that was it. Let's
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: talk about it. Before we continue, shout out to our
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: partners here at PrizePix, the presenting sponsor of the channel.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Y'all know the deal. They got great promotion for all
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: the new users out there. Play five. You'll get $ 150
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: in bonus lineups if you win. And so we're going
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to make a couple of picks here for tonight's action.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Buccaneers and the Bears. Y'all know I'm a big Bucs fan.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: We all love Baker, but I'm a big Bucs fan.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Give me some Bucky Irvin. running action. They need him
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: to run a lot more in this game. Baker, I
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: don't think he goes over to 11. He might do more,
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: but I doubt it. Give me some Swift scoring a touchdown.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, I think this Bucs defense is bad, so
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead and take Caleb on the more.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Pick two or more players. Pick more or less on
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the stats. Let's see. Luther Burden, I don't want to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: wish that amongst us, but you know what? Five targets
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: for Godwin. I don't think he's been targeted enough for
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: me to actually feel comfortable with that pick. So I'm
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: going to pick on the less. And we'll take Luther
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Burden getting actually Roma Dunze. This will be his game. So, again,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: play five. You'll get $ 150 in bonus lineups if you win.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Feel free to follow your boy at Unfair Sports. See
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: if you can outdo me. And as always, please gamble responsibly.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Thank y'all for pulling up. Go ahead and hit that
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: like button. If you're new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: give us five stars. I think that's a very good
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: point here. We could have been much better sevens if
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: we had this offense. This offense literally gets us to
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: seven and two this year. We 100% would be a
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: little depressing. But defense, proud of y'all. Y'all went out
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there and balled. And Stevie, thank you for always pointing
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: out my great theory I have here. Florida's choice of
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: the all blue was a little bit interesting. I wasn't
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: really feeling it. Like I kind of wanted the, I
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: think me and RP2 was talking about it. I would
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: have loved to have had the orange helmets, the traditional,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: but they went with the color rush. And they did
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: not wear white gloves. And so they were getting them
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: for all the penalties. That P.I. on Elijah Thomas doesn't
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: get called if Kermani McClain is rocking white gloves. The
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: blue gloves made it completely obvious he was pulling his
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: jersey on that catch. And shout out to E.T. He
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: had a game. We'll talk about the receivers and other
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: players outside of Witten and Mateer a little bit later.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: But I do want to give the defense their love
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: because they deserved it. You held them to 203 yards.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: And you actually held them under that because he checked
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: down to Duke Clark five straight plays on the final
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: drive of the game. And then when he decided to
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: finally go deep to Wilson, what happens? Peyton Bowen picks
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: that bad boy up. Like you, you forced Tramiel Jones
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to do everything he did not want to do. You
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: forced Buster Faulkner to do the things he did not
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: want to do. And I know Buster was over there
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: looking at everybody saying, see, told y'all, let me play follow.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: That was probably the first thing that came to his
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: mind after that game, which I thought that would have
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: been like the stupidest thing though, was the thought that
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: follow was going to be a better quarterback. That was bad.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: on their part when it comes to just executing on
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: an offense that started the season off strong with the
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: ability to run. But you know what it makes me
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: feel like? And this is why I'm pumping the brakes
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: on Jason. I'm just ready to see what his adaption
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: is going to look like. Florida came out there like
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: a bat out of hell. Their offense was insanely good.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: They were running at people's throat. I think they had
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: three straight games with 180 yards rushing and freaking Ba
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: had 150 yards average per game. He was killing it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Did people figure it out? Buster Faulkner's defense within like
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: four games and it has never been in the same sense.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: So most important thing is baby steps. But I do
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: have faith in Witten and John here because I think
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: they're going to slowly ramp up so things will look
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: different down the line. Talk about that more in a moment.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: This defense though, three sacks. Danny Okoye was all over
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: the place, Coop. And that right tackle, he was starting
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: because they had an injury. He typically plays left. He
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: looked like a fish out of water on the right.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: And Danny was in his ass the entire game. To
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the point of, he was getting holds. The back-to-back hold
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: plays was like, bro, what are you doing? Calm down.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Because I think they were, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: I think there was like second and four, second and three,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: something like that. And then those back-to-backs... And I think
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: at that point, you knew the game was pretty much done. Yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Pretty much done. And exactly what it was. They were
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: first downs. They had back-to-back first downs or a callback
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: because of holding because Tramell Jones was basically doing what
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: John typically does is leaving the pocket too early and
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: forcing your tackle to pull somebody down so that they
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: don't get them sacked or pressured too much.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: And.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: They didn't have white gloves, so they were guaranteed going
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: to be holds. Even though he technically was tackling Okoye.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: He was grabbing him. He was flipping him around. Thought
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: he was going to jump on him and do a
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: belly flop on him. Right afterwards, it was bad.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: He pulled him down because he had one hand up
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and under and then one hand on top. And I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: think that if he has that other hand under, then it's...
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: it's probably a no call. But, yeah, you come up top,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and you basically show up to where you're on top
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: of Danny as he's going down. Danny got up, and
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty surprised that Danny didn't lose his mind a
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: little bit more, just to be honest, because typically he
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: jumps up. He just looked over, and he was like,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: What's going on? But RP3, this might be, I mean,
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: I texted his pops and I was like, this dude's
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: playing on fire right now.
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: He was all over the place. That was probably one
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: of his strongest performances this season. Without the numbers to
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: go behind it. Let me go look. Uh-oh. Looks like
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: we may have lost Coop for a second. There he is.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: He's back. Welcome back.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, RP3.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: This is probably his best performance without all the numbers.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: That half a sack was awesome. The solo tackle. I mean,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: he was everywhere. Had the good hurry. Yeah, RP3 felt
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: like he was getting back to his... Getting back to
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: himself after he dealt with that injury against Mississippi State.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just played. Yeah, I was going into Kip and Owen,
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: absolutely just nuts. I mean, those guys, the pursuit that
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: they had. There was one play where Owen, I think,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: was on a blitz. And then I think it was
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: a short pass. And he circled around, came back up
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: through the offensive line. And, I mean, just drilled somebody
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: in the back as they were getting stood up. It
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: was beautiful. I mean, it really was. You saw Eli
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: back playing, which was great. Obviously, Cortland looked phenomenal too.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, outside of the one drive where they get
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: it at the 50, there really wasn't much that you
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: could feel that there was going to be the competence
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: to string together a big, long drive. And as we
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: were talking about, You got four, four, four, two, three, three, four.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: So they had seven drives, four plays or less.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: Which is crazy. Which is crazy. We did a great
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: job of shooting them on the three and outs, getting
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: them off the field. There was at one point, let
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: me see, first half, not so much. Second half, they
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: had a three and out. They had the long drive.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: After the punt, because they had a good return on
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: that punt by, was that Stockley? Bailey Stockley. And then
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: they threw the interception. Then they went three and out.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: And then from there, it was just, they only had
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: two possessions after that. Like, at the third quarter, after
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: their punt in the third quarter, after a three and out,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: they only had two possessions for the rest of the game.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: A four and out, where we had negative eight yards.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: They had negative, Coop, they had negative 15 yards rushing in.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter their fourth quarter stats were negative
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: 15 rushing 44 passing and their 44 passing was all
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: those dump passes to duke clark because they could not
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: get anything else going the secondary was insane they were balling.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: It's and yeah everybody's starting to talk about it the
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: the uh the taping of the gator chomp um.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: That was a great, great, amazing trolling. Even Florida fans
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: was like, yeah, y'all started something new. That was good.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: Great reference to Florida, man.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: And I will tell you this. That doesn't get planned
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: coming into the week if you don't feel like you're
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: about to run the thing. And so they had an absolute,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, just from the get, they had an absolute...
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: You know, great playing on defense. Those guys knew that
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: they were going to bounce back. And, yeah, you know,
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: another thing everybody keeps on talking about, when your offense
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: stays on the field for a long time, the defense
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: gets to hang out and rest. And I think the
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: defense was getting so much rest that there were several
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: times that those guys were back up and, you know,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: jumped around on the sideline. Like I saw Kip, usually
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: he's over talking to people. He was up on the
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: sideline during the offense because, I mean, they had energy.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: They were ready to rock.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: They did. They were feeling themselves the entire game. They
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: were pretty freaking excited about just getting their mojo back. Now,
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: I like a good conspiracy theory. A good one, not
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: a bad one. It's got to be a good theory.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: And I just got to say, man, I don't know
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: if this, correction, I'm going to say I don't think
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: it's true at all. I'm about 98.23% that it is
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: not true. But, feels like that South Carolina game was
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: like that defense was tired. They were tired as ish.
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: I need something different. They got something different and they
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: gave you a performance. Yeah. That also, and Lenore Sellers
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: went God mode. It's two weeks in a row though.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Three weeks in a row because he's now hurt and
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: he still ran the ball for a touchdown, gimping up
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: the field. It's pretty darn amazing. Gotta give it to
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: him like that.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: It was, it was amazing.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: But, no, it feels like everyone figured out Buster Faulkner
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: four games into the season, which is kind of crazy
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: So I was going back and looking because it was
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: in the fifth game. I think that they started out
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: with a nice long touchdown drive against Missouri, and Baugh
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: scored a touchdown. I mean, it was simple. It was
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: completely simple. Philo was playing in that game. And then
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: it was after their– I think it was their second
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: or third drive it dried up from that point on.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: And it hasn't looked competent since then. Because Missouri, they
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: threw up 17, 19 against South Carolina, 27 on Texas.
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: That was the last time. Yes! 27-24, baby.
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked good. And then 8 and 7. So,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: they're scoring in single digits the past two weeks. And
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: now they go at Kentucky after they just got shellacked.
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: I expect more of the same.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: The fact that they got more passing yards on Georgia
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: is hilarious. They got more total yards on Georgia. They
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: had 246 yards total against Georgia to our 203. And
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: we should have actually held them under. And those garbage yards,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I don't even really count them. But this defense decided
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: that they wanted to make a statement. And the road
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: dog mentality was there, man. Watching them enter Georgia, The,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: watching them on the game, on TV, watching them go
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: through the tunnel and go on the field. Dog, they
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: got me so hyped. Because you felt the energy with them.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: And I think it was, I think it was Josh
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: Calloway over there, 247, as soon as Illustrated posted a
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: video of them. And you could see BV talking to them.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: They out there chanting road dogs. And you just saw
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: the energy. You're like, yeah, this felt like Tennessee. This
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: felt like Knoxville again, right? This felt like the night
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: game in Knoxville. Almost the night game at Tuscaloosa. But
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: this really felt like the night game in Knoxville. The
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: energy was there. They were ready to play in this game.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Like I said, and we talked about this before. Let's
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: go back to the offense. Thank you all for pulling up.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: Hit the like button if you're new to the channel. Subscribe, rate, review.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Give us five stars. Matt, yeah, you're 100% correct. OU's
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: Pat Stevens is a top unit and doesn't get talked
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: about enough. And I said it coming into the season.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: That was the one unit I said was probably going
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: to be the most improved. And I felt like they
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: were going to be the ones that were going to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: carry us most of the way. And so far this season,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: they have. The only team they couldn't carry us against
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: was South Carolina, and I truly feel like they were
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: just like, we're tired of this crap. We're done. I mean,
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Texas had their 260. Texas and South Carolina are the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: only two teams that got over 200 yards passing on
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: us this season, which is kind of wild to even think.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: Now I'm ready to see if we can do this
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: against Ole Miss. Ole Miss right now I think is
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: a one and a half point favorite going into this game.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: So it's really interesting to see, and I get why
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: they're a one-and-a-half point favorite for two reasons. One, we're
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: on the cycle of every other game right now. So
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: this one is the one we're supposed to lose. Two,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: they just got dog-walked by Georgia. And typically when a
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: team gets embarrassed on national television, they bounce back. Two-and-a-half now, Stevie?
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Cool.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I saw it on FanDuel earlier. It was one-and-a-half. So
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: it's two-and-a-half now. I don't know... how they play in
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: this game. I think they're going to get all the action. Correction,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: they probably have all of the action on them right now.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: And we'll talk about them on Wednesday, but I actually
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: think we can sneak this one out. Their defense is trash. Like,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: it's bad. And if Witten scripts this properly, dog, there's
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: a good way that we can go out there and
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: really win this game. I think we can pull this
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: one off.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: I think it's time to have the conversation because to
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: talk about Ole Miss, we need to start hopping into
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: what is the long-term effect of or the long-term plan
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: here around the OC. I can promise you this, Jason
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: doesn't care about two weeks from now, he cares about
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: this week. Saw a lot of people in here. We
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: have we have an absolute, you know, Jason's going to
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: get an entire week with this offense. He can build
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: on what he's done.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: There's no tape on Jason Whitten. So that was, that
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: was a hard piece, you know, that that's, it's something
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: you can't just ignore. But I can tell you this is,
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: they are going to let Jason continue to just do
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: what he's doing because your goal at this point is 8-4.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: That's the best that you can do. You've got to
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: run out this season and show that there is life,
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: there is a plan, and there is hope, whether that's
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: with Jason or somebody else. I expect a full OC
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: process to still happen. Same. But Ole Miss is going
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to come in here. Last year, a lot of us
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: are saying, you know, the field conditions really got us
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: in the first half. The second half, you know, you,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: you maybe do the Satania fumbled punt and you think
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: we could have probably beat them at that point. They
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: didn't have to press that a lot. You know, Q1
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Lacey is continuing to be hurt. And so if, if
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: he is not, I mean, if he's coming back, you
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: got to figure that, you know, he's going to, still
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: be a little beat up. But it does not matter
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: because it is going to be about stopping Trinidad Chambliss.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: And I don't think that they are as dynamic offensively
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: this year, but it's all going to happen.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: He's still good, yeah.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: He's still very good. He's still very good. But it's
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: still going to be a fight, our defense versus their offense.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: And it's going to be bad on bad and good
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: on good on both sides of the ball. And I,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: I have more hope now that the offense is, is
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: pointing just listen, the offense has been pointing down. You're
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: hoping that Jason Whitten could at least get them to
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: like parallel. And you know, after last night, you look
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: like it's pointing up just a tad bit. So the
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: goal is you got to go in and you got
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: to do it again because otherwise it's going to be a, Nope,
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: you did that, and it was only successful because Florida
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: had a really, really bad defense. And so you've got
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: to put two weeks together for the first time this year.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm okay with that being the case because, yeah,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: their defense is bad. And Ole Miss is actually, I think, worse.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go pull up the game on paper.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: But I got to show some love here to this
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: wide receiver room. Look at this. Rocky Beers, he should
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: have had five catches because that Parker Livingston pass interference
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: was an atrocious call. Like, that was a shh call.
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: That call was terrible. The dude is literally, literally going
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: one-on-one with the DB. Like, it wasn't a situation where
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: he was trying to block him. That was the route.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: It was a man coverage. He tried to press. He
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: got him going, and he broke out to catch a pass,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: and when he turned around, Rocky had already made the catch. Yeah.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: But they hit him with a P.I. because they tried
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: to say that he was doing a freaking pick play.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: That made me so mad. Upset your boy, but it's okay.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: But, hey, we always bring up the fact that, like,
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: with John, you kind of have to just say, this
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: is the play. This is what I want. And Parker
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: Livingston having three catches, it looked like he was a,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: it was a goal to get Jacob Jordan, Parker Livingston
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: involved in the game. He also had managed choice of
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: three catches too. Elijah probably should have.
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: Had one more.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, yeah, you got eight different receivers.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: Hayden Hanson getting there for the touchdown. That was a
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: play for him and was designed for him. John had
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: two really good throws down on the goal line. I
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: think he got extremely, extremely fortunate with the touchdown to
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Satania because it was in the spot that only your
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: receiver could catch it. Unfortunately, that defensive back had phenomenal coverage,
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: and it just went right through his hands. But you
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: get lucky on some of those, and you don't on
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: some of the other ones. But it was a very,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: very happy day to be able to see the 4-4-4-3-3,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: and then having a couple of other guys with some
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: ones in there too.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah. They mixed it, and they distributed around very well
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: in this game. All your receivers looked like they were engaged.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: Elijah Thomas had a couple of passes going his direction
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: where he was getting open. The one thing we got
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: out of this that made me the happiest, and I
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: think this is 100%... On Witten. Because we didn't see it.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: We saw it against UTEP. We barely saw it for
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season. You saw it against Texas.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: You saw it against Mississippi State. Those back shoulder passes.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: When you see that the DB is not looking, you're
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: throwing it to the back shoulder. John was in his
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: bag on those. And the DBs were playing a lot
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: of man. And he kept hitting them with back shoulder pads.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: And I'm just like, that's my dude. That is what
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: I was hoping. That is the John I said that
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: if that John showed up, that was the one that
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: was going to lead us to wins. He literally was
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: putting it in the spot that you need to put
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: it in order to get those back shoulder completions. And
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: he was completing them like crazy. And Parker Livingston was
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: one of the players he was hitting a lot with it.
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: Manny Choice was showing his muscle in his catches. He
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: was catching them and stretching the ball out, trying to
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: get firsts. The fact that we spread the ball around
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: so much honestly made me feel really good about this
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: wide receiver room. A lot more than I did before. Now,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: my favorite thing of it all will 100% be this.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: He got Hayden Hansen a touchdown at the Swamp. Shout
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: out to him, man. You know he did it on purpose.
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: I love it. He catches the touchdown and he goes
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: right over to the student section and just starts doing
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: the wave. Hey, guys, I'm back. It was good. You know,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: when you play teams in the NFL, typically where you've
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: had a bad situation, you come, you know, you get traded,
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: and then you go back to that old spot, and
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: you get to ball out. Like, everybody wants to see
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: those situations. Like, we all wanted to see Parker Livingston
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: have a touchdown catch or something, have a great game
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: against Texas, and it just didn't happen. So to make
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: it intentional on the goal line play, throw it over
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: to Hanson, absolutely awesome. And I want to say this
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: is I also think that there were– I can't remember
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: what the outcome– I think it was a pass play,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: but Mateer like ducked out of a sack and rolled,
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: and he wasn't panicking. His goal was still gaining yardage,
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't like he had no idea what was
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: going on. But John just looked like– and somebody just
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: said confidence is a hell of a drug. It looked
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: like John Mateer finally got back to the spots where
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: he was like, there was a lot of other things that,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: you know, no longer were a part to play in
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: his head. And I'm wondering, Jay, when you're, you come
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: over here with Arbuckle and you've been struggling, there's, I'm
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: letting the team down. I'm letting the fan base down.
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: I'm letting this dude down who was, who is my
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: position coach and is my offensive coordinator. It looked like everybody,
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: definitely with the Gatorade bath at the end by the
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: tight ends, I think it was PJ Locke and, uh,
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: And was it Hanson that did the Gatorade dump on Witten? That's,
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: I saw some people, I saw some people trashing, you know,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: trashing that, that was two tight ends that were basically,
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: you know, showing out the, the moment for their coach.
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: And he wasn't, he's not their OC. He's their tight ends.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: He's their position coach. And so I'm a hundred percent
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: in for it because it looked like this entire offense
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: had more hope. It had more confidence. Um, it looked
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: like whatever was happening with the rotations, everybody felt like
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: it was all on the same, everybody was on the
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: same path. And you could see it. And now, again,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: it means nothing, Jay, if you don't go out and
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: continue to do this for the next three weeks, four
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: weeks with the bowl game. You're going to have to
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: go do this.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: You have to. You do. So now, going forward, I'm
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: ready to see what Whitten looks like against Ole Miss.
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: There's tape. Now, how do you continue to evolve your
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: offense where they aren't able to be prepared for what
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: you're gonna do? The offensive line looked 10 times better
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: than it's done most of the season. They looked very comfortable,
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: even with all the subs. Hopefully we see Foggia soon.
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: That will be awesome. But overall, Heath was fantastic. I
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: thought of Marion Harris held it down. He wasn't perfect,
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: but he did held it down on that right. He
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: made John feel comfortable. Of course, the left was good.
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: Best and Fasusi played one of their better games this season.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: That felt like he was good to go there. The
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: blitzes that did get the blitz that did get John
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: sacked was right up the middle. Like there's right in
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: his face on the right. And it was just the
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: way that they formed it up, which was fantastic job
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: of Florida or the way they dialed it up. That
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: line looked and felt good. Again, everyone pump the brakes.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Y'all had pitchforks and torches. last few weeks. It's okay.
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: Keep them there. You can keep your pitchforks and torches.
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: I still got mine, too. But I do think that
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: Witten deserves a look, but I need to see the
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: four-game outcomes. I don't want to have this honeymoon movement
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: cloud what the overall decision should probably be. But I
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: do want to talk about my favorite play of the night, Coop.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: I do think that this is not talked about enough,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: and I need to continue to gas this play up
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: even more. That Courtland-Gillory interception was insane. That was a
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: wild interception. Like, the fourth down, great blitz. Owen Heineke
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: has the sack right there for the taking. And Tramell Jones,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: being the athlete he is, he saw it. And the
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: one player that I'm going to be 100% honest that
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: did not have a catch in this game shocked me.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: It was Eric Singleton. Remember, Singleton kind of fried us
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: when we played Auburn. Yeah. and last year, and he
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: was with Buster Faulkner at Georgia Tech. So I expected
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: him to be a contributor in this game, right? Court
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: saw the lob, broke off of Dallas Wilson because it
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: was one of the rare times that Dallas was actually
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: matched up with him because they were smart. They were
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: trying not to put him on him. Races back and
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: just catches an over-the-shoulder ball. And what makes it great, Coop,
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: for me, is that where he dove from was like
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: the three or four yard line, it felt like. He
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: landed in the end zone, so it was a touchback. Yeah.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: When I saw it, I was like, this fool just
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: landed on the one yard line. We're going to have
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: to go 99 yards. I was a little nervous. But no,
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: he landed in the end zone. I was like.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: I was very happy with the play because I got
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: up to do something. And I turn away, and then
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: I turn back, and Court is hopping up in the
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: end zone. And I thought that he, like, dove for
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: a ball and missed it, and it was a touchdown. So,
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: you know, it was like, okay, here we go. Now
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a little bit tighter. But, yeah,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, you get the two interceptions. Obviously, Peyton Bowden
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: just playing center field. But Court, I mean, he's there
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: to cause havoc. That is havoc. It is always going
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: to be havoc. And– That was, I mean, it was crazy.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, we have the DJ Graham interception, which
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: is probably going to be hard to overcome.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, that's probably one of the greatest interceptions I've
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: ever seen in history. Oh, yeah. That was insane.
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: It's definitely the greatest Sooner interception. Second place is still Woolfolk,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: where he kicked the ball up in the air against Nebraska.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: But it's just, you're starting to see that, like, one
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: reason why we don't have a ton of more turnovers
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: is because every team outside of Lenore sellers, every team
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: is coming out there and they're not going to put
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: the ball in harm's way. Everything's super, super fast. Everything is,
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: you know, a three-step drop. Everything's getting the ball out
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: super fast. And Tramiel, as much as he wanted to
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: Brent Venables and Morgan and hall, everybody had that game
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: called right. How it was supposed to be because any
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: quick throw is, there was a lot of business decisions
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: being made because you know that if you're catching a
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: tunnel screen, one of those defensive backs is coming through
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: and is going to try to kill you. Whether it
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: is Cortland, whether it's Eli, whether it's Haynes, whether it's RP3,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: or one of the safeties. Every single time one of
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: those things are called out there, those wide receivers, you're
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: not blocking all of them. One of the guys is
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: getting through, and you're going to get hit pretty hard
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Or you're going to narrowly escape it, and then here's
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: the second wave, which is usually Kip, Owen, Heineke, and
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: then the other safety.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: Court was out there, again, causing havoc. And it was
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: funny watching him match up when they did match him
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: up with Dallas. Like you said, at the start of
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: the game, you saw that they did a soft zone.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: I guess he was trying to fill out where Tramiel
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Jones was in his passing, in his developments. And they
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: let a few up front go. They let a few
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: of them go. I'm surprised we didn't try to pick
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: off that pass to the sidelines. That was an Eli
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Bowen special, right? That reminded me of the pick he
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: got against Alabama as a freshman. I thought that was
• 54:15
  Speaker 1: the one I figured he was, but I think they
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: were more focused on making sure nobody broke out because
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: it was also a god-awful pass. But this secondary played
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: lights out. Now they've got the biggest challenge of them all,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: a quarterback in Trinidad Chambliss who sees the field very
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: well coming up. But I had to praise him on
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: that because that catch was just godly. So godly. So, yeah.
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: You all got some good questions in here. I've seen
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: a few that I wanted to point out. I had
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: a couple starred and then I unstarred them on accident.
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: So it completely came off of my sheet.
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Boomer Sooner 129. The one that always talks bad about Coop.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Can't be having you do that no more. Kidding, kidding.
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: What's the likelihood of Witten being the permanent OC? 20%.
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I will go with, he is going to, it's going
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: to be, again, four-week sample size. That's what it's going
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: to be. There's no need, you know, the team is
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: getting plenty of inquisitions about what the plan is. Agents
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: are reaching out. A lot of people want to have, now,
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: also remember this, a lot of agents are reaching out
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: because they're trying to get a better deal for their client.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: So- There is a lot of– there's a lot of
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: names being tossed out there. But you go out and
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: you need to watch some of these offenses that we're
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: seeing because now you're getting into crunch time of the season.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: Now it is– there's tape galore on the– I mean,
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: look at Faulkner. I promise you this, the hottest name
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: in college football from the OC standpoint after week three
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: was probably Buster Faulkner. That's not the case anymore. So
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: Jason Witten is probably going to have– Jason Witten is
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: probably going to have several people calling and willing to
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: take a risk out on him too, whether we hire
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: him or not. But I would just say let's pump
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: the brakes on it because you're going to need a
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: lot of people in the transfer portal this year. Yeah. Yeah.
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: And whomever we do bring in for OC, if it's
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: not Witten, we're going to be busy in the portal
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: this year. They're going to reload the entire offensive side
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: with as much as they can get that's ready to go.
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: But I think Witten is going to build his book here.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Hopefully over the next couple of years, they bring in
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: an OC. And I do see him potentially becoming OC
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: in a couple of years. I can totally see it
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: in the next two years. I think for them, it's
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: a let's get you more experience. Let's not have you
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: be exploited because everyone has seen your book. That is
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: one I think is a good one for us to
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: keep in mind. All right, another good question here. Are
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: we getting anyone back from the injury list? I think
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: Foggia and EPL will be back. I just don't know when.
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: But I do think that Foggia was, the slate was
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: this game. Him making a return. Either this one or
• 57:48
  Speaker 1: A & M. So I'm going to say he should
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: be back soon. Can Witten win us playoff games with
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: BV-led defense? I think the answer is unequivocally yes right now. Coop,
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: what do you think about that? That's actually a really
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: good one.
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: I think Jason Witten's approach to it is he's going
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: to be pulling from his time at the Dallas Cowboys.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: When were the offenses really, really good? Well, the offense
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: were really, really good when you had a great running
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: game with Ezekiel Elliott and you had good offensive offensive
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: a good offensive line and then you had receivers that
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: were able to get it done i think that jason
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: whitton simplifies the offense and if you can simplify the
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: offense and take away negative plays take away turnovers that
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: is the perfect offense to go with the bv defense
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: so i mean could he let's again let's wait because
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: florida i can promise you this i it I could
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: have seen this game being won by Arbuckle and Jaumetier.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: Because I told you all, Florida is the same thing
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: as us, except for they don't have the defense to
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: go with it. They don't have a unit that is
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: outstanding and stellar. They will get themselves out of position.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: a significant amount of the times they will they were
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: undisciplined and so i think that that was an opportunity
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: for us regardless john's won games on the road with
• 59:18
  Speaker 2: our buckle so that's why i'm not saying you know
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: jason whitten is the uh is the call that you
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: want to make right now because i think What got
• 59:27
  Speaker 2: you into the issues that we're seeing with this OU
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: offense is favoring people because it's the easy route, going
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: the discount route, jumping to conclusions too quickly, and also
• 59:46
  Speaker 2: being afraid to hurt people's feelings. I think that if
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: you're afraid to hurt people's feelings, that's not a good situation.
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: What you need to do, the offensive coordinator for the
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma Sooners in 2027 needs to and has to absolutely
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: be what's best for the program in the long term
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 2: of things.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: No, that's a good point. You can't make it because
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 2: you're afraid to lose Jason and Cooper. You can't do
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: it because it worked against Florida. And I think the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: worst thing in the world to do, which is not
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: going to happen, is to come out and say, He's
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: ROC at any point throughout. Now, if you go out
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: and you just absolutely– the offense looks good to really
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: good against Ole Miss, and maybe Missouri's the last good
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: defense that you're going to play. If he does that,
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's going to have a leg up because
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: then you have the continuation of what he's been doing.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: I don't necessarily think that I can feel that way yet.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: Yep, exactly. Good. That's a good point. Someone asked the question,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: was Zeke there with Witten? Yeah, they were together in
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: 2016 and 2017. That was actually when Jason Witten bounced.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: And 2017 was his last season there. 2019, he came
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: back and Zeke was still there. And then he played
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: for the Raiders in 2020. So yes, they were together
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: for like two or three years. Bye, that Chris.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: Tony Romo as our quarterback coach.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: No.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: Is 0% chance. I think whatever number is less than zero,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: put that there because no.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: Zero interest on that.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: I know it's a joke, but no.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's funny. Everybody keeps saying it. It's
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: like the same funny joke everyone keeps pulling out. Do
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: you think we get a run game coordinator? Yeah, whenever
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: we hire the next set of coaches on staff, we will.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: Right now, Bill Beaton-Bow is your running game coordinator, and
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: so they'll probably get another if he's not here next year.
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. Not sure what the staff's going to
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: look like. I think a full evaluation needs to happen
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: at the end of the season. I honestly think we
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: need to go ahead and start cleaning on that side still,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: even with the execution here. Now, if they go out
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: there and they drop 50 on Ole Miss, and then
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: they drop 50 on A & M, I'm giving you
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: extreme numbers, and then they go out there and get
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: 30 on Missouri, I might pump the brakes on my
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: wanting to clean house. I might. But you got to
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: do some extreme-ish to make me feel like it was
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: all Ben Arbuckle. for real. Now, granted, I did say
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: the entire time that I felt like the whole problem
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 1: was being, being stubborn in some of his play calling decisions.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: And he showed me if it felt like in this game,
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: that was all the stubbornness of Ben Arbuckle. Not that,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: and he had moments where he was really good, but
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: it felt like he was super stubborn. And this game
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: to me kind of confirmed that. Yeah.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: Um, stubbornness. I mean, obviously like, whatever, there's more, right?
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I think Parker had put out some stuff that he
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: had heard or some rumblings.
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Rumbling, bumbling.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, in any athletics, whatever
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: sport it is, you have to 100% do what's best
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: for the team. You've seen it with Link. A lot
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: of the problems that Link and Riley had were because
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: of his stubbornness. And his, it is his inability to
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: just make changes. I think that they, I listen, what
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: style of offensive coordinator that comes in here. It, I
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: don't really think that I care too much because I
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: think that you just need to be good at whatever
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: you do. And it's going to, there's going to be quarterback,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 2: offensive line, OC, all these things next year is going
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: to be a new slate for this across the board.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: And you have to, you have to have a good
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 2: game plan. It just doesn't sound like the direction on offense,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: even through last year, it doesn't sound like the direction
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: on offense was ever clearly presented to the team and
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: that everybody knew what the game plan was. Then you
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 2: throw in the injuries, then you throw in the inconsistencies,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: and it makes it 10 times worse. So I think
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: that a good assessment on the offensive side still has
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 2: to happen regardless because, You need to be able to
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: say in every single aspect, as an OC, do we
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 2: feel good with this person moving us forward? Because I
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: say it again, our defense will not be this next year.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: Our defense is going to take a few steps back
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: next year. And depending on who we can get in
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: the portal, we'll see how much. But if Brent Venables
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: is your coach, you're still going to be a good defense.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: You're just not going to be pushing at the top 10.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I kind of feel like we're starting
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: to create a situation where players recognize, oh, I want
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: to play for that guy. And he can be able
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: to maintain this. I'm not saying he will. I do
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: think he has built this reputation now with three years
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: straight of just insane growth once he's gotten his players.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: I think some of these portal guys are looking at
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: this saying, hey, man, I will gladly play in this
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: defense because this defense is going to get you drafted.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: It's not a defense that's gimmicky. It's not a defense
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: that you wouldn't see in the NFL. It's a defense
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: you'll see in the NFL. And these dudes are like, oh,
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: I want some of these guys. We're seeing breakouts in G-Baby, right?
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: You're seeing R. Mason Thomas. You're seeing Robert Spears Jennings.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: That's just this year's crop of rooks. Keep going back
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: to some of the other ones. Jonah Laolu was balling.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: Benito. To me. Right.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: Benito. To me. These players are seeing what BV is producing.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: They're saying, yeah, we probably need to, I think I
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: want to play for that guy. Stutzman, go look at
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: what Danny's out there doing, right? Look at Billy Bowman.
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: Guys that BV and him got to coach. They didn't
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: even recruit him, but they coached him, right? Like you're
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: seeing that the teams are like, I would consider that.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 1: And so to me, The challenge is going to be
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: getting the right players, but I do think this defense
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: can maintain what it's got. So besides that, RMT, yeah.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, R.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: Mason Thomas. Yeah, R. Mason is out there balling, right?
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: You got R. Mason. You got Robert Spears Jennings, right?
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Like I said, G-Baby. I mean, that's your three poster
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: children of the BV defense, guys that were his guys.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: And now that's the best part about this defense, and
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: this is why I give so much praise and worship
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: to the defense is, The entire starting lineup are all
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: guys that BV recruited out of high school. Except for
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: Owen Heineke, but he doesn't count because he transferred in
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: not playing football. He was recruited as a football player
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: for them. He was a lacrosse guy. So with that
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: being said, guess what? You're seeing a whole roster of
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: a whole bunch of dudes that BV got. Hell, I
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: remember us talking about Kip need to gain weight. Kip
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 1: put on the right amount of pounds and that dude's
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: a freaking missile. So in that point, I do think
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 1: the defense will take a slight step back, but I
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: think this will maintain a top 15, the top 20,
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 1: actually a top 20 defense going forward as long as
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 1: you got Brent Venables running things. The only thing he
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: needs to do now is find an offensive coordinator that
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 1: can keep this. And someone asked the question, is this
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: the type of complimentary offense we need to win? Yes,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: this is it. This is really good. This is exactly
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 1: what you want. Um, I love the idea of Phil
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: Lodeholt coming back home, but I don't know if I
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: want to form a sooner yet. I think I want
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: to take a break in between there and bring and, and, and,
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: and come back. Yeah, I'm okay.
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: Listen, Lodeholt may be a situation that you can bring
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: him in as not the next guy, but the next guy, right?
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: So Lodeholt's doing great things. Now, if you go out
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: and you hire whoever at OC and he says, I
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: want to bring back Phil Lodeholt, As the OC, I
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: love what he's doing. As the O-line coach. Then I'm
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: fine with it. But I'm not okay with anybody in
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: the building telling the OC, hey, let's get that Sooner
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: back in here because he's doing a good job. It
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: needs to be their choice. From top to bottom, it
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: needs to be their choice.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I want the OC, whomever it is,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: to make that decision. Now, I will say this, though.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: If it does happen, I... have zero issue with Jeff
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: Levy coming back as offensive coordinator. I've seen his offenses
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: do work in the SEC. I know it will work.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: I will gladly take Jeff Levy back in a few years.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 1: He's at Mississippi State. He's with Levy. Yep. So I
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: would not mind Levy coming back because I think that
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 1: once Levy gets the right quarterback for what he wants
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: to do, he'll cook.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Well, you saw he had the right quarterback until he.
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: Broke his toe. Yeah, Camario didn't break his toe. They
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: would have maintained being a problem this year. And it
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: shows you that Levy can find and close on a player.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: that you want here. So give me that. I will
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: gladly take Levy back here as well. So, all right,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: we'll talk more on. I'll have my big board 2.0
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 1: this week. I will drop a video on that, and
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: then me and Coop will debate it on Wednesday. Plus,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about the Ole Miss game. I'm going to
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: get myself out of here. I have zero thoughts on
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 1: Jason Beck right now. He was atrocious at Michigan, but
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 1: I do think he's a good offensive coordinator. I don't
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 1: know if he would work here, though, because he didn't
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: work there at Michigan. And they have a ton of talent,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: a ton of it. So we'll see. All right, thank
