  Speaker 4: Glad to have you with us here on this Monday edition.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: With CESE and with Rusty Person. Let's just let's start
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: at Kyle Field. Let's do pluses and minuses.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Cease.
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: I know you you grade every game. I saw your
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: your grading. I'm driving you did grade by first week
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: of the prog. Actually you did grade the first week
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: of my progue polls. I think I'm already mathelematically eliminated.
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: Are you in Alabama. That's pretty he had me in Alabama.
• 2:20
  Speaker 8: I think Elcho hit on the head. They improved and
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: the things you wanted to do be a little more explosive.
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: The secondary played a lot better, their special teams was
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: a lot better. But then on the fifth side, I
• 2:33
  Speaker 8: never thought they would. If you told me they're gon
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: to run for one hundred and eight yards one hundred
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: and three, we had a MS in trouble, you know.
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: I mean, if you'd have told me that, I expected
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: to be better on the run defense. So that's that's
• 2:44
  Speaker 8: the pluses and minuses, I think in a nutshell quickly.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, to me, the plus side was the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: wide receivers and the big playability, and I think that
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: offense has got a lot of.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Home run hitters. I haven't seen that in a while.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen that. While to me, the downside was
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the tackling consistency, and you can you can look at
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: numbers any which way you want. And I heard Elko
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: talk about you know, old and asked me a question, like,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you know, most of those plays you held them in
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: two yards. On the other hand, they rushed for two
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and eight yard or two hundred three yards. One
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty six came after the first contact. And
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I always look at the grades by that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: PFF football. Yeah, and am I only had one starter
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: that finished or excuse me, there were five starters who
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: were blow sixty in that that scoring and so, you know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I mean it's it's the same kind of thing. The offense,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I thought, Yeah, it could be really good. The defense
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure about.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Well. Special teams was great too.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Disappointed disappointed in the run defense for sure, Yeah, very disappointed.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: And even though the pass protection I thought was was good.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: See she mentioned running the football. You know, they should
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: be able to run the football.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: What's not I get? Yeah, I watched a lot of
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: football this weekend, and I watched it.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah and so and so it's easy to see good
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: teams and bad teams, right, and the good teams all
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: have the same common denominator. There are lines of scrimmage
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: on both sides of the football, man, you you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and we'll talk about all these games, but the lines
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage and quarterback play right, wells.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: And mistakes and what you said earlier. I think that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of parody in college football now, probably
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: more so than ever before.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I just think within within about twenty five to.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Thirty teams, right, ry, I mean because there's not the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: clear mismatches. Yeah, Alabama lad and Egg against Ford State.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: But when you're watching LSU and Clemson battle of that
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: absolutely too. Or it Texas in at Ohio State and
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: are two great defenses. Yes, now you arch missed some easy.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Past so we don't know.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing with week one, right, you're you're
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: you're going, okay, it is team X man, they look
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: really good defensively or is that other team just not
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: good offensive?
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And vice versa. You know that the hardest hitting game
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: of the weekend. As far as I'm concerned with South
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Carolina Virginia Tech, they just pounded each other.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: Holy smoke.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: I think Virginia Tech's pretty good. They look pretty good
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: to me at the line of scrimmage, right, and South
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Carolina is kind of what we thought, although they're better
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: than I think I thought they were up front, and
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: again time will tell.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That they're physical. There's very special teams with a beamer right.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know you know they're gonna do it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the NASA had just said, yeah, hey,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this special team is really good. Yeah, and there you go,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: there they go, you know.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Back to back to a and m disappointed in the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: offensive line overall. Okay, I need to see more for them, right,
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: And I think UTSA is a good little team, but
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: it's UTSA, right, Right. They're going to Notre Dame in
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: two weeks, right, And I watched Notre Dame in that
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage and they're what you expect them to be, right,
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: So they're going to have to be much better, right,
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: much better in two weeks running the football, holding onto
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: their blocks. And on the other side, you can't give up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: And man, he talked about this. We talked about it
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: all last year and he talked about it going too
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: this season. We can't give up seventy five yard running plays.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Right, we can't.
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: Yes, we can't hold them ninety percent of the time.
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: And he just said it this afternoon. He said, I
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: told the defense there's four or five plays every game
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: that's going to determine the out.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: After much of that game, USA was with score away,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: you know, absolutely, that is what concerned me. I was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: really impressed with McCowan. You know, he well, that guy's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: been in that stadium.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: A lot a lot of times.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Well you know what, he looked like it exactly. I
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: thought there was a certain comfort level in there. And
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all saw the tight end Ryan
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: roops on, but that was kind of cool to see
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: the legacy guys. And I thought he handled the situation.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: He did pretty well. UTSA is a you know, they
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: could probably contend pretty well in the big twelve middle
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: of the pack, maybe I would think. So it's not
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a bad team. Nope, But what disappointed me in the
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: grand scheme of things, how and it failed to run
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: away from them, And you know that last score is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: just like, okay, that's that's disappointing too. I mean, I
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: know the subs are in the game, but am subs
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: are supposed to be a lot better than UTSA subs.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And you know that was their backup quarterback through that pass.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And so overall it was a good game, but we
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: still don't know a whole lot about them, right, Yeah.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: That's the bottom line. Because you touched on ruscue. It
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: was twenty one seventeen and you just SA had the ball.
• 7:55
  Speaker 8: They could have gone around and taken the lead, but
• 7:57
  Speaker 8: then they stonewall for six straight possessions and you can't
• 8:01
  Speaker 8: overreact on week one as soon as they.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: Cut That's why we're here. By the way, it's overreaction Monday.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: As soon as they made a couple of big plays
• 8:11
  Speaker 8: in the past game, I started zeroing in and concepts
• 8:14
  Speaker 8: young and what they were doing was if they went
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: with a zone, they allowed him to run open in
• 8:20
  Speaker 8: the middle, and then if they went man the man
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: the guy couldn't handle him. And I go, Okay, that's
• 8:24
  Speaker 8: not going to happen in Notre Dame. He's not going
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: to go down there and go across fifteen and nobody's
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: on him, or he's not going to do a head
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: fake and miss somebody. There's a reason he averaged only
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: like eighty seven eight point seven yards last year catch
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: in the acc that's not that good. Now that being said,
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: he might have been hurt. We never know about those things.
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: He could be one hundred percent, this could be the
• 8:44
  Speaker 8: real guy. Craver could be the real guy, and we'll
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: know more about when they played Notre Dame.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Well, like what Chips said, the lack of the running
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: game early, and I think they were really focused on
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: working on the passing game. Right. Yeah, but you know,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: after the first two possessions offensively, I turned them all wife,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and I said, this is what we waited eight months for,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you know me, because they were really like, I don't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: know what they were trying to do. Those first they
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: didn't do anything right. I mean they punted the ball
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: twice and then at the end of the first course
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: seven to three.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Two penalties on those drugs. Yeah, penalties.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: So and that's this thing I didn't want to see.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And UTSAF thought, you know, they didn't have any pre
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: snat penalties all all game. I thought, it's well.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Coached football team.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: There was a reason that his name's been mentioned for
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: almost every d one job that's come available.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: He's a good coach, is a really good coach. I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: will go back. He's been in that stadium a whole bunch. Yes,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: he yes.
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: And I was very actually impressed with the pass defense
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: because you take what McCowan did. He only threw for
• 9:39
  Speaker 8: like one hundred and seventy yards on thirty passes. His
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: passing rating was only ninety one as opposed to one
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: hundred and thirty five last year. I mean, A and
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: M took a lot of things. Wait, and I talked
• 9:49
  Speaker 8: to one of the UTIFS football guys after and I said,
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: I'm just shocked they didn't throw down more and he goes,
• 9:56
  Speaker 8: I am too, because he said they normally do that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: But that told me they knew they weren't gonna have time,
• 10:01
  Speaker 8: so they were just gonna throw eleven to fifteen yard passes,
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: and A and M did a good job covering those
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: because they did.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: Have quick drop seas.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: You're right, because I think they were afraid of the pass, right,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: So that's a little hard to gauge too, because of
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: those three step drops and the balls away right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 8: And you look at Henry had like he had one
• 10:21
  Speaker 8: hundred and sixty yards, So that was basically their office.
• 10:23
  Speaker 8: They didn't do much in the passing game. And so
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: once again is I don't want to overreact, but it
• 10:29
  Speaker 8: is kind of funny.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: I thought the secondary was better. The pluses in money.
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, although I didn't again, I didn't see great receivers
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: on that side of the ball necessarily, right, great great
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: skill people. But look, I do think the secondary was better.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I think that's a plus. So yeah, there were pluses cease,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: I think you were like a BB Minsky for overall.
• 10:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, because they could actually lost. The game was twenty
• 11:01
  Speaker 8: one seventeen. If USA goes down scores, who knows the
• 11:04
  Speaker 8: defense had six straight stops. Man, I thought Utsa got
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: very conservative, ran the ball and almost like gave up
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: to me. But I think my number one concern is
• 11:15
  Speaker 8: that defensive line, because well, you guys talked, I watch
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: all you know, I watched a lot of these games.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: After a quarter ago good game because both lines match up.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: I watched one quarter and I go, hey, if Baylor
• 11:25
  Speaker 8: doesn't stop Auburn, you're just gonna run the ball all
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: night long. Yes, yeah, it was funny about that. They
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: did run the ball.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: That was an SEC line of scrimmage.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: Right, Baylor threw the ball all night long because Alburt couldn't.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Stop the past. Did you go to that game?
• 11:40
  Speaker 9: No?
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't, Okay, I watched that. I'll watch the game. Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: So so I thought that was an SEC line of
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: scrimmage against a big twelve lines.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: There's no question, right, Yeah, I agree with it.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's I don't know how else
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to put it.
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: I think Baylor is a nice little team, right, They
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: have some skilled people.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: I think they're pretty solid.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I think the big twelve very good. I haven't seen Utah.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: What I have seen is can Stay, who came in as.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: A They barely to code it right.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And I was so unimpressed with both. I was Stayed
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: and Kana State. And at first we talked about talking
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: about athletes didn't play badly against Georgian.
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: I was.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I was surprised that I got to tell you and
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: you've got to score when you get I've said this
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: before three turnovers.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: But I've said this before.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: I think coach Sanders is a pretty dang good football coach.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: He's not a cart management guy.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: That last minute I get that was horrible. Okay, that
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: was horrible.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Now he's got a new quarterback, so you got to
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: cut him a little bit of slack.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: But that is some coaching. I'm not denying that.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: I just think the staff that he put and we've
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: seen this right, Yeah, And I thought, and then maybe
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: they will be I thought, man, after last year and
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: losing the guys that they lost in the Heisman.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: Winner and the sunt I thought, that's this could be
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: a one and you know ten football team. They did.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: They look pretty good night.
• 13:00
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: I think Haines King's a warrior.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: He is a warrior. That guy is a war That
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: last touchdown he had, oh my god, I mean that
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: was just something. I mean, it's just so typical what
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: he hard knows.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Kid.
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: Now he's still passing, he's still giving the football away
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: like he did here. It doesn't take good enough care
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: of the football. But man, you can't you cannot challenge
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: his heart.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: He is fun to watch. And when you're opening the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: season on the road, you can't start the way he did.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: And you know what I looked up.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: I'm going to be in that area in a couple
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: of three weeks and and and Colorado's playing Wyoming.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: I go, you know, that might be a nice little
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: game to go to.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: The tickets are like two hundred and forty dollars for
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: Colorado and Wyoming for that game in.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Bolder, just to text you get get in Bolder in Bolder. Wow,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you the whole season sold out. Wow.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean, there's he's still got them believing. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: you know, after what I saw, and like I said,
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: I think, man, I don't see how he's.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Gonna do very well. But he's there. He's a great guy.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Plate he's still there. No way I'll have to call it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: The only way he'll get me a pass is if
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I also come to whatever their biggest game. But remember
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I love that I miss We've talked about you know
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: what I'm about to say.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: We're at the A and.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: M Colorado game up there, right, that one of the
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: big games. They played a couple up there during the days, right,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: And so I'm up there and the next week Colorado
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: is hosting a directional school, right, a non conference directional school.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Platy comes on the PA system, He goes, if you
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: don't have credentials and show up for next week, don't
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: expect to be here for the Nebraska game.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: That was awesome. Okay.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: I like this guy, and you always wanted to read
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: his weekly There was off the wall, had had fun with.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: Sorry, we not grasped. That's that's that's what we do.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: That's what we do. That's what we do here.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: So there was maybe two questions today about Utah State
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: in the in the news conferences. I mean, nobody knows
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: anything about Utah State. We know the name Brocco Menden
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: hall Uh and I forget who was there before Utah
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: State had a nice little run for two or three years.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: You know what I remember about Utah State in this
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I can't remember the year because they all kind of
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: run together now, But my son and I went to
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: an eleven o'clock game and sat in the first level
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: of the zone. One year we're giving tickets. It was
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: against Utah State and it was one of the single
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: hottest games I've ever been to. Yeah, I mean, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: I can count some of the hottest game like Theres
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, but I just know that that Utah State game.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I was like asking myself, why did I decided to
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: come to this game and sit in the sun. And
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: so I heard you talking earlier about I don't expect
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: one hundred and seven thousand this week. I don't either.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And it's a crowd so great.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: It's the game of the year people are excited about
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and it's a great The atmosphere is fantastic. It was
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it was that was my daughter's first game is tex A,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: you know, because she started last semester or the spring semester.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: So she was out there with all of her buddies
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: and a great time. They walked about seventeen miles through
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: the course of the day. But yeah, so the atmosphere
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: was fantastic, the atmosphere. I don't expect anything that's similar. No,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: probably not. But and I know we'll get around to this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: But as I watched Notre Dame last night, I was like, God,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: this is not the same team that I saw last year.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: They're not.
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: This is a team that's right for A and M
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to take if A and M can make some improv.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Until like the fourth quarter, I'm thinking, man, they miss
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: they missed Riley Leonard at quarterback.
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: They miss him. But he got better. He got better.
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: You know, these first starter guys, and and we'll talk
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: about all of them, but but he did get better
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: as the game progressed. But but the line of scrimmage
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: for both of those teams again, I go back to
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: that pretty bad.
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: My.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Miami, they're the real deal. They got dudes right now.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I think the coach will screw it.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: May have been they are up yesterday for Florida.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: State and Miami.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Says Jimmy Johnson.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: I think you're right. I think you're Bobby. I think
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: you're right. I mean that that was a great week
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: here for those two. I mean I was shocked.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: At how many players Florida State had at their athletic
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: ability right after last.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Year and they just went last year and.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: They were lucky to do that.
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: They were horrible, and I went, oh, they've they've spent
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: some money this year. They have spent and there you go,
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: and they have a quarterback. Got I have a quarterback.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: That guy was not He talked smack all all during
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: the off season. He was not intimidated. He was cocky,
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: he was arrogant. The team fed off of it, and
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: he made plays. And I think that team is going
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: to be a problem all year, especially in the eight season.
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: When I was watching that game, rust I said to myself,
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: you know A and M can beat that Notre Dame
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: team if they play in Miami.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: There's no doubt you gonna play later.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. It's a very good point. And
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: I am still going to prove that they can go
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: win a big road game because they haven't done that rightly,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: But just the difference between last year's and I will
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: say that is not a playoff team.
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: Now I will say this, but I'll go with Chip.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: The quarterback is going to get better.
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: And they didn't get to the ball of up.
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I was going to say if Jeremiah carries four times
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: against A and that will probably be exactly Yes, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: don't know what the heck he was doing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I don't either, Okay, Like, what's the heck? He's one
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: of the best players in Collage football.
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: It's a little bit like watching an A and M game.
• 19:11
  Speaker 8: It's like it's like there's so much we don't know.
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: Because then I'm asking myself, is Love hurt?
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: Is he not?
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: One hundred percent? And they want to put him out
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: there for sale? I mean, and then then we hear
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: it at the end of the year also, and so
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: I had a torn like, yeah, played you didn't know
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: played all, Yeah, you were ripping them.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: But we always hear that every year. We don't know.
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: And I'm not saying he was hurt, but I'm with you, guys,
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: I'm watching, I go, how is Love not king?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: What Notre Dame last year comes into Kyle Field on
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: the opener and just really kind of manhandles. They did
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: a good Texas A and M team.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: They did good. They go on the road.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: To Miami this year and they get they get whipped
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: pretty good.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: Yes they do.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: And so that's what I'm talking about the difference between
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: last year and this year with that team, I don't
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: disagree with that. And I just think that you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: if my cough went up as an fan going to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame and it went down going to Baton Rouge.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: But but I will say Notre Dame when they come
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: on for the second half and fell down by two,
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: whatever they played at next quarter and a half, very well.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: They did.
• 20:14
  Speaker 8: The line played well. That receivers caught the ball and
• 20:17
  Speaker 8: he threw. Now he takes away his two interception, he throws.
• 20:21
  Speaker 8: They Notre Dame might win that game on the run
• 20:23
  Speaker 8: all the things they did wrong.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm just saying this.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: And I thought Miami got conservative syd touchdown.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: They didn't want to. They they were afraid to make
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: a mistake.
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: They slayed to make a mistakes. Didn't let that throw
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: that through green and punt the ball and Notre Dame
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: scoring his game.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I think.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: Mario was going to screw this team up very well.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: At some point this season.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I had I picked Notre Dame going in.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Because I thought I just did on the base of coaching, right,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame's coming off of you know, national championship run.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: And I said, you know, I didn't know what Miami had.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: You know, I knew Carson Beck was there and and
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: he wasn't great, certainly, I didn't think.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: But it was good enough.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: He's never really been great.
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: Now, you're right, that's everybody expects to be great. He's
• 21:13
  Speaker 11: not great, but good, right, he had he had made
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: a lot, Yes, he hadn't made a lot of mistakes.
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: He did throw the ball up.
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: The guy just made an incredible play.
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: Freshman makes him so much better.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that freshman. And I actually picked Tony right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: it pick Notre Dame because we thought they're both defense
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: their lines would be better. I was surprised how good Miami's.
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: Line, both line of scrimmage. Man, They've got dudes. They
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: got a two hundred and seventy five pound guy at
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: that end. That's like, holy smokes, they look like Miami,
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: did they not?
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Last night?
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: I think they looked like school Miami.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Pretty it was. They were impressive.
• 21:52
  Speaker 8: And if either Beck or Mario doesn't screw them up,
• 21:56
  Speaker 8: because right now, you know that that's a huge win
• 21:59
  Speaker 8: for them. It's you and they're gonna play CLYMPSH. So
• 22:02
  Speaker 8: they're gonna play like one or two more big games,
• 22:04
  Speaker 8: and when one of them, they're in the playoffs, yes,
• 22:06
  Speaker 8: which they came close to the last year and screwed
• 22:08
  Speaker 8: it up.
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: All Right, I don't want to leave and m yet
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: because then I want to I want I want to
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: get through the rest of the college football here coming up.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: But but uh, what.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: What do you guys want to see Saturday that you
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: did not see Saturday night? What do you want to
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: see this coming Saturday? Because I'm I'm thinking that Utah
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: State and UTSA are pretty equivalent.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think Utah State is nearly
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: as good as you do.
• 22:34
  Speaker 8: Not know, they're picked like seventh or eight okay in
• 22:36
  Speaker 8: the Mountain West as opposed to UTSA pick a third
• 22:39
  Speaker 8: or fourth in the athletics a little better conference.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you State could a standfield. I mean,
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: I think UTSA wins against Utah State every time.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, by at least two scores at least.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: So I don't think we see as much this week.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I mean what I like, So you're saying you're not,
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: We're not gonna be able to tell anything.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I want to see dominant defense, and I want to see,
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: you know, not the running running the games the ball
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: I want to run. I want to see big numbers
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: in that running game. You know, we haven't even talked
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: about Marcel Reeve, but he he played a nice game.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Fourteen no picks and if he if he had hit
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: the one, uh, why don't he played a correct game?
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: That's the one that sticks out.
• 23:22
  Speaker 8: They still scored on that possession. Yeah, I still scored.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, just get four t ds and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: you know, hopefully that's not bad.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: No no interceptions, and he was made played played a
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: clean game.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know, I think the thing that stuck
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: out to me about Marcel was it he looked more
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: like he did in that LSU game when he was
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: so quick, and when he later in the season, it's
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: like he questioned himself more and more like in the
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Texas game and then the South Carolina game, there was
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: question marks and and I think as the game went along,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: he developed a lot of confidence. In what we talked
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: about last week, we got they got receivers now who
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: will go up and get the football and then they'll
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: make plays with it. And so that is and speed,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: oh speed, yes, home run hitters low run speed.
• 24:14
  Speaker 8: But Reid was quick and everything he did quick was
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: was right, except more comfortable, except for the long pass.
• 24:19
  Speaker 8: Even that was a quick decision. He said he's open,
• 24:21
  Speaker 8: I'm gonna put it out there. He talked about it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 8: He had too much adrenaline. But rusty getting back. He
• 24:27
  Speaker 8: didn't make that those quick reads against South Carolina Texas
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: later and that's why they screwed up.
• 24:36
  Speaker 12: Well.
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: But I want to see total line domination because they're
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: playing they're playing a team that would have none of
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: those linemen probably even under both sides.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: On both sides. I want to see them dominate yea
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: on the line.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I think they need that going into the
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: following weeks, right, I mean they need the confidence, they
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: they need the experience they need to to do because
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: you know it's gonna be a whole different level.
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: Here's the deal is, we've all you guys have enough.
• 25:06
  Speaker 8: You go on the road as well, and m was
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: just a different team on the right. I want to
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: Miles O'Neil.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: I want to see him in the game early, and
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I want because I wanted to be so impressible.
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: And the fact that you don't want to risk getting
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: an injury against somebody when you're up twenty eight oh
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: or twenty eighty seven, and you.
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: Know, just.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: In the mouth early, and you may never know when.
• 25:31
  Speaker 8: You're gonna need him because somebody's twisted ankle. You know
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: you're a deal threat quarterback, you might have to go
• 25:35
  Speaker 8: into South.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Bend exactly right.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: So you want to build a little depth this week,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: and you want to start pretty early doing that, right, Yes,
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: And and the other.
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Thing is midway through the third quarter, I want to
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: see a.
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: Lot of okay, and you and you probably gonna have
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: to generate your your you know, your own juice.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: For the most part.
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: Right, it's gonna be a whole different atmosphere at eleven
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: forty five against Utah States at correct.
• 26:04
  Speaker 8: Another thing we didn't talk about is I was just
• 26:07
  Speaker 8: really surprised that Randy Bullock lost his job as the
• 26:11
  Speaker 8: as the place kicker. I mean that we know a
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: him so deep in kicking and the fact that he
• 26:17
  Speaker 8: was like Bond, Randy Bond, I went back, went back, But.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I mean I was about to say, I mean, I
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: mean Bond was like twenty to twenty four last year.
• 26:27
  Speaker 8: I mean, he had great stats, and for him to
• 26:29
  Speaker 8: get beat out shows you how good Uh. I can
• 26:31
  Speaker 8: get his name now, Zendel's the Vendel.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Him too.
• 26:35
  Speaker 8: But A and M suddenly when you see I think
• 26:39
  Speaker 8: that there were seven teams returned punts this past week
• 26:42
  Speaker 8: for touchdowns, and special teams mean so much. We saw
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: uh Auburn had a kickoff return for a touchdown right
• 26:49
  Speaker 8: after Baylor scored, yes, a head point in the game.
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: And special teams can win you maybe one game and
• 26:56
  Speaker 8: that might put you into college football player.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: I'd like to.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: See a pleasant the Auburn kid and Craver in a
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: in a foot race.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Kid.
• 27:05
  Speaker 8: He got down there and hurry. I was sitting on
• 27:07
  Speaker 8: my couch and go, that guy is going to go
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: all the way now. And then when he turned that
• 27:11
  Speaker 8: he turned the car somebody he was gone, God, yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: it was God.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: There were some specialty this weekend.
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: And I think A and M's got their their home
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: run hitters there in Casey concept On and Bussy I
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: think are good to Yeah and M.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: Last year had nothing in the putt returning game.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: No, not at all.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: It's like had like one hundred and fifty.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Well, and honestly, you're sitting there going, is this office
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: going to do anything? And then you know, you get
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the putt return and that's what gets it going.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: And I was like, okay, you know, however, however you
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: need to do and do it.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You know, Okay, that's that's the big play. Because at
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: that time I was gone, Yeah, that's the same point
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I'm going.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: So we've we've seen a couple of guys capable of
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: making big plays that we have.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Not seen in the one correct.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: Yes, and we've got speed on the field that we
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: haven't seen in a while.
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 28:03
  Speaker 8: I talked before I get this show, Adams had not
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: had an all conference wide receiver since Christian Kirk.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty amazing.
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: Smith was good, but he wasn't all conference. Of course,
• 28:13
  Speaker 8: he got hurt. And you're the best conference. I get that.
• 28:16
  Speaker 8: But to me, for Aden to be who you are,
• 28:18
  Speaker 8: you need a couple of the offense. I'man to be
• 28:20
  Speaker 8: all conference, you know, second team about receivers?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: They they Hugh Hugh Freeze might want to try to
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: get the ball to Cam Coleman every Now that that's
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: like sitting Jeremiah Love with four carries.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I don't even think they targeted him in that game.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: But a couple of times I'm going and he killed
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: A and M last year, right, just murdered them.
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: And I thought, was he a bad caddy last week?
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: For what have you seen sec Shorts grabbing the golf?
• 28:53
  Speaker 8: Well, I laughed to me, it looked like I know
• 28:57
  Speaker 8: he's in Waco, but you know free his face was
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: so red and burned. I thought maybe he was at
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: bear Ridge and just walked out in the game that night.

  Speaker 4: It is the Writers' round Table for Monday, brought to
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: you by First Financial Bank and Intech.
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: Robert Sasin is here, Rusty Berson is here.
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: Let's start with the first game in Columbus on Saturday morning.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen, Ohio State Texas. What do you think?
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: Man? Rusty alluded to a great game to watch just
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: because both teams can play defense. Line of Screamach and
• 32:58
  Speaker 8: I had a laugh when he rolled out on his
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: first play in the bootleg and he had a tight
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: open someone wide open, and he missed him by like
• 33:05
  Speaker 8: twenty yards.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a twenty yard play and I and.
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: I chuckled to myself and I said, you know, that's
• 33:11
  Speaker 8: maybe he's gonna get nerves. But he never really got
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: settled in, and I was kind of shocked at time.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he he got picked off once and
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: easily could have got picked off again. He looked like
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: he was forcing the ball. The thing that stuck out
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to me though, was that how many short passes he
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: missed that could have resulted in first down their drive
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: killers and we've seen that was like Zach Calzaia, you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: I mean remember when you know he'd leaves something ball
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: short and I just didn't seem like he got in
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: the flow. Now, I just played with a great defense.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: But you can't not make those I mean, you can't
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: beat a number, you know, top ten team on the
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: road if you don't make those plays. And he just
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: wasn't a plus quarterback. He may eventually be a fantastic,
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: great quarterback, there's no doubt, but like I said, don't
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: hate him. The Heisman Trophy and.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: The other thing that kind of stood out to me,
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: and it's again we've talked for years, Well, ay receivers
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: can't get any separation from the defense. They can't get
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: any separation. I don't know again one game, are are
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: the receivers not as good as advertised?
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Or is that secondary? They're good?
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: And I read I don't know it's Pro Football Focus
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: or Lawsky or somebody said that. And Sark said this
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: after the game that he thought the back end of
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: Ohio State wasn't just good. He said they're elite. He said,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: Caleb downs As that safety is one of the smartest
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: players I've ever seen. He does things that you don't
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: expect to do. He's all over the field and they
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: covered everything, and they it was like they knew what
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: they were going to run, right, they knew every path pattern.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: That we're going to run.
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: Now again, is that a lack of execution on the
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: part of the Texas team or are we going to
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: see this Ohio State and I think they're really good defensively.
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Are we going to see them all year, you know,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: shutting people down?
• 35:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I mean that Ryan Wingo. I kept waiting for him
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: to you know me, he missed him a couple of times.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: And you know, he's an explosive kind of guy. You know,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: we saw him as a freshman last year and you
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: got to get the ball in his hands. Yes, yes,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: But I'll say this too from the opposite standpoint, I
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: thought Texas defense did a really good job too.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: And again that was for a long long time.
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: I think there and everybody thought they were gonna have
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: a good defense. And so I think the defense is good.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: What about Ohio seven? That very conservative in their game
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: plan too, with that freshman quarterback, right, But but he
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: didn't make any mistake.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: And they didn't make mistake freshman.
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: But you know, I tried to watch at the end
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: of the game as much as I could because I
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: had left a couple of views they showed to me
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: of Manning. He was almost smiling. He still had that
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: cockiness to me about him.
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: But he's a Manning.
• 36:11
  Speaker 8: And I laughed because sometimes someone would lose the game
• 36:15
  Speaker 8: to number three and you're throwing your helmet and you're
• 36:17
  Speaker 8: so disgusted. But I think man he just expects to
• 36:20
  Speaker 8: be good. I think the way he took that, like, hey,
• 36:23
  Speaker 8: Ohio State's good, we'll see him again. I read that
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: on watching TV because it seemed like the body language
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: just went off office bought, no problem.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: And well he got better in the fourth quarter. It
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: was much better.
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: But I thought he was at times a deer in
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: the headlights, like for a half, right.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: And I did not expect that.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: I did.
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: I didn't a lot when you got sorry.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying I expected him to win the Heightstman
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: Trophy on Saturday against Ohio State.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: I didn't expect him to play like that.
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: I think there are some coaching issues too. I mean,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: oh Kiyo one for five and fourth down, right, at
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: some point you guess that you know what he's lost.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: He's lost four games, right, twice to Georgia and twice
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: to Oaho State. Right, every single game is the red
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: zone issue.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Every game.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: Yes's boiled out of that and he has huge problems.
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: This is a big problem for that team. We saw
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: it here at Kyle Field. They could have scored thirty
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: last year, but they did. You know, they topped up
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: the ball a couple of times, they screwed around inside
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: the ten, and they have big red zone issues.
• 37:31
  Speaker 8: That time they ran the fourth down late, I mean
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: they lost a half a yard. That was a horrible,
• 37:36
  Speaker 8: terrible call. The quarterback sneak. Yeah, and you got you
• 37:38
  Speaker 8: got horrible. You got these guys got all the speed
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: and you don't get them outside you just run.
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: Saw the same thing in the Cotono last year. So
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: that's an issue with that team, There's no question about it.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: But I think those are two good football.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: Teams, you know.
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: I think the lines of scrimmage are really good on
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: both both sides of the ball for those teams.
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: And so we'll see how that plays.
• 37:58
  Speaker 8: I'm with you, but you're looking it's a little bit
• 38:01
  Speaker 8: like Notre Dame too. Okay, Texas lost. They got to
• 38:03
  Speaker 8: go to Georgia. They've got a tough schedule. They gotta
• 38:05
  Speaker 8: got to Florida. They go nine and three, they're not
• 38:07
  Speaker 8: going to college football playoff. Uh so let's look at
• 38:11
  Speaker 8: what we've talked.
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: I think Notre Dame Miami anything at any other point
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: you want to make on that game.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: No, I think the freeman is gonna have to make
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: sure that the offense coordinator gets love and.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: They know who they're all American is.
• 38:25
  Speaker 8: Well, you know, it's one thing we touched on didn't
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: touch on. I'm surprised how many of those teams that
• 38:30
  Speaker 8: I watched change their offensive defensive coordinator. And sometimes when
• 38:33
  Speaker 8: you're changing, yeah, because I think I think a'd have
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: made progress because it's client second year. Yeah, Elko's helping
• 38:41
  Speaker 8: call the defense.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Can't I can't remember the guy he used to be
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: the head coach of the lines. Who's the defensive coordinator at.
• 38:47
  Speaker 8: Ohiotrick Patrick, Matt Matt Patrese.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he had some really winning calls there,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: no doubt.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: There was one play.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they highlighted it. The defensive end
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: faked like he was looking the other way and then
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: like stunt again. Inside I was like, wow, that is
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: a really cool move.
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: Cool move.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: It was just the offensive lineman took his eyes off
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: the defender just because he turned his head outside.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: It's like a quarterback looking off exactly like that.
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's a really good And the announcers even said
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: that's an NFL kind of play right there.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I was, I mean, uh, and they and they
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: were worried because they had lost Jim Knowles to Penn State, right,
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: who was really good. But if Saturday's any indicasion, I
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: think they're gonna be fine.
• 39:36
  Speaker 8: Kelly went back to the NFL. So that was promoted
• 39:39
  Speaker 8: ors wide receivers and I was impressed to the game.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: He called, yes, all right, Uh, let's take a break
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: and we'll continue. Writers Round Table brought to you by

  Speaker 4: Well, I picked Clemson because I thought Cake Clubnck was
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: better than Garrett Dustmar and he was not Saturday.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: How much of that was l s U's defense.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Well, they're good, Yeah, they're really good.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, they have changed things. Perkins looked like he did
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: his freshman year.
• 43:37
  Speaker 8: Frank, Yeah, I didn't get Chet's watch game because I
• 43:40
  Speaker 8: go with you, guys.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: I just thought Dustbar was really good, really good. And
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: if he plays at that level, they're gonna be hard
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: to beat.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they are.
• 43:50
  Speaker 8: Hey, I like Nussmer. I thought last year the game
• 43:53
  Speaker 8: got away from Kelly. I didn't think it was Nussmer's
• 43:56
  Speaker 8: fault as much here at A and M as it was.
• 43:59
  Speaker 8: And this second thing is I felt Kelly was due.
• 44:02
  Speaker 8: I just he's he's one of these.
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 44:06
  Speaker 8: You know a lot of peoples. Have you seen the SEC
• 44:09
  Speaker 8: documentary Kelly.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: I don't like him.
• 44:11
  Speaker 8: He's a Jernk. Well, he wins. That's why he's That's
• 44:13
  Speaker 8: the way his personality is.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: He's like a fourth winning as coach.
• 44:16
  Speaker 8: And I felt he was true. I felt he was due.
• 44:18
  Speaker 8: And you know once again is there's a lot of
• 44:22
  Speaker 8: pressure to club. Nick and Manny were the like the
• 44:24
  Speaker 8: co favorites for the husband, say what you will. That's
• 44:26
  Speaker 8: in the back of their minds.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and uh, I think it's as much as the defense.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Like you mentioned seasons, it was Club Nick and not
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: being able to play. I mean, Club is a heck
• 44:37
  Speaker 4: of a player. Unus Meyer was just on the road.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: That's when you wanted that fifth year guy, right.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: He was not affected at all by that and as
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: a great crowd. You know, you're you're on the road.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: It was loud the whole time. It was close to
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: the whole time. LSU had a fight and scrape mad.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: They they went into the portal and did some damage.
• 45:02
  Speaker 8: This year, I had a chuckle and you guys maybe
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: sending to coach more than I did. We had three
• 45:06
  Speaker 8: top ten games to watch this and I'm watching last
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: night and they said game days gone to Michigan.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Michigan.
• 45:13
  Speaker 8: You and I go, there's not better games in the
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: next week than Michigan. I hate to say it's a
• 45:17
  Speaker 8: top fifteen, don't get me wrong, but it's top fifteen.
• 45:20
  Speaker 17: Right.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: We had three top ten you know, it stuck out
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: to me the whole weekend of watching college football. And
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I started on Wednesday night, and you know with I
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: think Nebraska and Cincinnati.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it was.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: And so I watched all these games wednesdaydays crowbacks.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Still know you're right.
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: It was it Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and I'll watch
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: something tonight too. Is how many times the announcers say
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: this guy who was at that university last year, he
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: was there, Yeah, And it's like you remember when they
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: used to say, yeah, this kid's from you know, Dunbar
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: High School, or you know it's.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: A five star recruit, five star recruit.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: This guy did this last year at this university.
• 46:01
  Speaker 8: I chucked because any of the one guy he spent
• 46:04
  Speaker 8: the last year at SO and so in the previous
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: four years he spent like that's five years.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I know, just how many times did I.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Hear that over and all all weekend?
• 46:14
  Speaker 8: It's like ESPN's part of the transfer portal. It's it's
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: it's in the NIL agreement. What's gonna happen with the fighting?
• 46:21
  Speaker 8: Bill Belichicks? Do you think that's an interesting game?
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: How many times ago show her girlfriend?
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: I already said, I there's an over under how many
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: times she'll be shown. I don't know if she'll be
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: on the sideline with him or in the boxer. I
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: don't even know if they have a box.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: There's so many reasons I'd love to see TC just
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: go up there. She would. And my sister's gonna beat
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: that game, TCD.
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: You know she lives in South Carolina, so she's over there.
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: Uh.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, they're.
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: Pulling out all the stops, every form of Julius Peppers
• 46:53
  Speaker 4: and Michael Jordan and every North Carolina great.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: It would be so much fun to see TCU Sonny
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: just go in there and whip them.
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: I just expect during the game. I don't know the
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: lead broadcaster for ESPN. We've just been handling a note
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: from Bill Belichick's girlfriend.
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: We're supposed to say that, yeah, yeah.
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah exactly, that's sad. What what sweats What cut
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: off sweatshirt is he going to be wearing.
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: I've gotta gotta cut off blue hoodie, He's got to yeah, right, absolutely,
• 47:20
  Speaker 4: the Carolina blue hoodie cut.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: Off without a logo on it.
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no logo. It'd be great if Dyke said, you know,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: tem Brady on.
• 47:29
  Speaker 13: That.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Tom Brady probably do it, probably would you know?
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: Just so you mentioned Oklahoma Michigan coming up. I mean you,
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: first of all, we understand where the programs are right now,
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: but you can't have two bigger names in college football
• 47:45
  Speaker 4: than don't clomb right. But the game I want to
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: see this weekend Kansas Missouri.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: Oh wow.
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: They hate each other, They've always hated each other. And
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: I like Kansas a lot. This quarterback is special and
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I and I love the coach.
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: The conference is open and.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: This is a big football game in the Big Twelve.
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: This for Kansas, I mean Missouri. I mean, I still
• 48:24
  Speaker 4: think Missouri.
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: Is pretty good.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: Uh, I believe they're in Colombia. Oh, I believe it's
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: at Missouri.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: This overall the Big Twelve.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: So again, Utah blew out u c l A and
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: tex Tech manhandled Puff and whatever. But for the most part,
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: if you look around the league, I was like, man,
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: this is really kind of weak. I mean, you see
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: f who's been good, struggle with Jacksonville State, Oklahoma State
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: struggled with UC Martin.
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, I mean, I don't think they're very good.
• 48:55
  Speaker 1: No, Oklahoma State is not very good.
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: And I think I think that the SEC and the
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Big Ten have swallowed up college football.
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: Ye kids, stay is not very good. I don't think.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, now, I went Iowa State play. That's always
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: a close game.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's always a great game, but it's
• 49:12
  Speaker 4: always a close game.
• 49:14
  Speaker 8: You know, I agree with you, Chip, But if Florida
• 49:16
  Speaker 8: State could come all the way back, You're right they
• 49:18
  Speaker 8: did and play Clemson for the title.
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: Let's say that I would argue that Florida State and
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: Clemson still have national cachet even though Florida State, you know,
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: last year.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Wasn't very good. In Miami, Miami.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: Throw Miami is the right, They've they've got that name
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: recognition and Florida State, Miami or in, if not the hottest,
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: the second hottest recruiting bed in the country, right, because
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: so they're always going to have some players, right, Dabbo
• 49:48
  Speaker 4: got last year, so they have some money people.
• 49:52
  Speaker 8: But I'm with you the Big Ten and SEC and
• 49:55
  Speaker 8: you know, Better had a chance it. Better could have
• 49:56
  Speaker 8: beat Auburn out of be a nice win for them.
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: But I never thought Better was really seriously in that game.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, they felt that they came back and
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: made it one score, but it's just like, yeah.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: They weren't a line of scrimmage manage. They got beat
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: batt scrimmage. It's a line of scrimmage. And those guys
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: are at those leagues. I gotta have those animals. And
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: I just don't think Auburn is that great, you know
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: what I mean? I do either.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: So that's a pretty mediocre Auburn team that I thought they.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Were certainly at best middle of the pack in the SEC.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Could be proven wrong. But I'm not sold on them. Uh,
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: and you know I didn't.
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: I'm still not sold on their quarterback because he still
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: can't complete a pass.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: He can run, he's a runner, but he can't complete
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: a pass.
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: Ship said their best player didn't get any almost any
• 50:43
  Speaker 8: which action.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: I don't, you know, I don't understand at all by
• 50:46
  Speaker 4: the way Baylor and SMB were playing this week and
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: will sell what's conference.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Game should be very Smaylor.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: Could start out only too. It's at SMU.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Really, yeah, SMU is not bad now they're not watched him.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: I watched them again the other night. They weren't great,
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: you know, but I will say this. It's it's like
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: I was I was saying with Colorado. The fans up
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: there are are excited because you know they went to
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Slash right, that stadium in which they've redone again,
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: it's sold out. I mean it was packed and they
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: kept showing.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: They kept showing on the underneath score while I was
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: watching game day right, and what a great day it
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: was for course over.
• 51:27
  Speaker 10: Oh my gosh, you know he was six and oh
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: in his pig six and oh went out on top.
• 51:34
  Speaker 10: Five million people watched the last fifteen minutes, which was
• 51:38
  Speaker 10: like three times biggest crowd they've ever had for game day.
• 51:43
  Speaker 10: Watching that last fifteen minutes of that show.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Wait, the scroll on the bottom of screen instead of
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: spelling out East Texas, A and M, I kept seeing Texas.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: I said, they screwed that. Okay, I wasn't the only
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: one like, wait a minute, is that volleyball?
• 51:59
  Speaker 17: Hey?
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: They kept scrolling A and M. S if you playing
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: each other? I told my wife, what are they think
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: they screwed out?
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: And then I saw the little e of their Okay, okay, I.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Did the exact thing. I guess we're too old. I
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: did the same thing. My eyes aren't good, I said,
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: is that volleyball?
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: Because I mean, my eyes aren't good enough.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: I was like, come on, guys, get it right and.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Got a quarterback? I mean they've they do they got
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: a quarterback? H Yeah, No, they've got skill. I mean,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: and I love that coach. I mean he that guy's
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: pretty good.
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: He's proved that, proven that so quarterbacks coaching line of scrimmage.
• 52:36
  Speaker 8: Mistakes and that's my five and money, money, lots of well.
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I mean that goes without saying.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: But when you're looking at teams and when you're watching
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: these teams it's to me those are the five.
• 52:48
  Speaker 8: Okay, and you know usually you checked those all off.
• 52:51
  Speaker 8: For Alabama, that wasn't even a no brainer.
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's never never an issue. A depth on the lines.
• 52:56
  Speaker 8: They had, the coaching they had and everything, and they look.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Like one of those Coach Fran teams that that they
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: have all these muscled up guys and lifted weights.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: Can't run.
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: They can't run, not quick the team speed is what
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: I was like, This is you know.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: What's interesting, And I'm gonna stay with this. He may
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: just be in the wrong place.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: Could be.
• 53:22
  Speaker 4: I don't think a guy with a ninety percent record,
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: I don't care where he's been forgets how to coach football.
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, I mean.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: He's not a bad football coach. He may be.
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying over he said. I'm just saying in
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: the wrong spot. And and time is.
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: Going to tell that and and we're going to see.
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: But when you say Alabama doesn't have the athletes, that
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: is shocking to hear. Right, But they don't have the
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: money cease right.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: It's what we've we started with.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Well, and they don't have the money to get rid
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: of the guy either.
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Seventy million.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't think.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I don't write that chat.
• 54:02
  Speaker 8: I's watching a little bit of that game and Overton
• 54:04
  Speaker 8: was okay here and he went down. He's starting for Alabama,
• 54:07
  Speaker 8: and I'm saying, you know, he almost couldn't start here
• 54:09
  Speaker 8: at A and M. And I'm thinking, like, are they
• 54:11
  Speaker 8: are not judging their talent?
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: Again, we're overreacting.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what we do. I don't think they're buying there.
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying after one week, LSU looks like the
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: team to beat for me in the league.
• 54:22
  Speaker 8: In the league, yes, considering who they played, I would
• 54:25
  Speaker 8: say that's and again.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, you don't know what Georgia did, Big Road,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: don't know what George has done. I have a sneaking
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: expecially George is pretty good.
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they will be.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: They played Texas, and you know, we don't know anything
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: about Florida.
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: Quite frankly, we don't know anything about Texas, A and
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: M either.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, well, so true, so true, Rusty is so true?
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: Agree with you? Next Monday will be overreaction Monday number two.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: And we still want to know anything about and we
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: may have a little more on a couple other teams.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I'd rather go with one A one beat because the
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: writers Rive.
• 55:00
  Speaker 4: Brought to you every Monday by First Financial Bank and
• 55:02
  Speaker 4: Intech Robert Sessin Russey person with us. Happy Labor Day, guys,
• 55:07
