Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: Here on a Monday on Sports Radio AM thirteen hundred
- 0:08Speaker 1: of the Zone. Glad to have you with us here
- 0:10Speaker 1: on this Monday. Craig Way with you here alongside the
- 0:13Speaker 1: producer Jay Carman. And so this week will reach the
- 0:19Speaker 1: midway mark, about middle of the week of our SEC
- 0:23Speaker 1: football previews. And like I said, we've got one week
- 0:25Speaker 1: in the books and we have the unique pleasure of
- 0:28Speaker 1: the visiting with all of the play by play voices
- 0:32Speaker 1: of the SEC. And so we have an opportunity today
- 0:36Speaker 1: to preview the South Carolina game Cocks. Now, folks know
- 0:39Speaker 1: my background. They knew I grew up in North Carolina,
- 0:41Speaker 1: and then I go to the beach every summer. And
- 0:43Speaker 1: I've got married forty years ago down to Myrtle Beach,
- 0:46Speaker 1: and my oldest son got married at Myrtle Beach about
- 0:49Speaker 1: a month ago. And so I'm obviously I've spent a
- 0:52Speaker 1: lot of time in the Palmatta State as well as
- 0:54Speaker 1: having grown up in North Carolina.
- 0:56Speaker 2: However, our next.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Guest only is now twenty five years as the play
- 1:04Speaker 1: by play voice of the South Carolina Game Cox and Football,
- 1:07Speaker 1: which will match my time in that is thirty fifth
- 1:09Speaker 1: year on the network.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Overall, even though we.
- 1:12Speaker 1: Haven't met face to face, we share a little bit
- 1:15Speaker 1: of kinship because we both hail from Greensboro, North Carolina.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Now I went to Ragsdale HI in Jamestown, just outside
- 1:22Speaker 1: of town, but Todd Ellis was lighting it up as
- 1:26Speaker 1: a page pirate for Walter Hines Page High School and
- 1:30Speaker 1: one of the most prolific passers in North Carolina high
- 1:34Speaker 1: school football history, as well as the all time leading
- 1:37Speaker 1: passer in South Carolina game cox history. It's great to
- 1:40Speaker 1: have you and I appreciate you taking the time. How
- 1:42Speaker 1: are you today, Todd Craig, what an intro.
- 1:46Speaker 3: I guess you had no choice.
- 1:47Speaker 4: With two Greensboro boys, you have to kind of go
- 1:49Speaker 4: at it pretty hard. But thank you. That is a
- 1:53Speaker 4: nice acknowledgment. And believe me, tell your producer very much.
- 1:57Speaker 4: Appreciate the bumper music with our boys there and Hoody
- 2:01Speaker 4: and the Blowfish to us South Carolina his own by
- 2:04Speaker 4: the way, Universes South Kilina graduate since guys, Hoodie. But
- 2:08Speaker 4: great to be with you.
- 2:09Speaker 2: And it is.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Strange we have not met over that time frame and
- 2:12Speaker 4: it's very excited to talk to you.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Well, you know, the interesting is obviously Texas and South
- 2:18Speaker 1: Carolina haven't met yet on the football field, and I
- 2:21Speaker 1: know that'll be coming in the newly new fangled rotation.
- 2:25Speaker 1: And let me start with that, not necessarily the rotation
- 2:28Speaker 1: of our two respective institutions that we're calling games for,
- 2:31Speaker 1: but overall, so much conversation about the nine game conference schedule.
- 2:37Speaker 1: What's your impressions of hal Shane Beamber feels about it,
- 2:42Speaker 1: and really your overall take having played in the league,
- 2:45Speaker 1: having played a quarterback at the highest level collegiate football,
- 2:50Speaker 1: and now seeing the grind that is always the annual
- 2:53Speaker 1: march in the SEC, now increased by one conference game.
- 2:58Speaker 4: Well, first of all, I'm consumer, like all of us are.
- 3:01Speaker 4: You don't do what we do for a living without
- 3:04Speaker 4: loving the game. And I still number one love the game.
- 3:06Speaker 4: I still look calling it on Saturdays. I love seeing
- 3:09Speaker 4: somebody catch a time deep out route, touch his foot
- 3:13Speaker 4: just inside the sideline, step out of bounds. I mean,
- 3:15Speaker 4: that's still a big time for me to watch. And
- 3:18Speaker 4: having said that, I'm like everybody else, I want better games,
- 3:21Speaker 4: and the nine game schedule in conference play assures our
- 3:25Speaker 4: TV providers that we have more competitive, high level football
- 3:29Speaker 4: games that viewers will want to watch. I get that.
- 3:32Speaker 4: I think it's a good idea, but I'll tell you
- 3:34Speaker 4: it's a punch in the throat if you don't get
- 3:36Speaker 4: in combination without some expansion of the playoff. And that's
- 3:40Speaker 4: what the coaches were sold on, and some will say
- 3:43Speaker 4: publicly that and others will hint at it strongly. But yeah,
- 3:48Speaker 4: I think there's a problem if the SEC is somehow
- 3:50Speaker 4: penalized by the fact that we expanded, of course, increased
- 3:54Speaker 4: the likelihood that we might lose a conference game, an
- 3:56Speaker 4: additional game on our schedule, and we're not getting the
- 4:00Speaker 4: benefit of the strength of schedule and looking at who
- 4:03Speaker 4: the you know whatever, twelve best teams in all of
- 4:07Speaker 4: college football at the end of the year. So I
- 4:09Speaker 4: think it's coming back. Thank you. I think is say
- 4:13Speaker 4: the least a pretty smart guy. We may have to
- 4:16Speaker 4: eat that a little bit this year. It's a little
- 4:19Speaker 4: more anngst to it. I think there afterwards we're probably
- 4:22Speaker 4: going to have a deal and what that expansion is.
- 4:24Speaker 4: But yeah, i'd rather play the conference games, and that's
- 4:27Speaker 4: nothing listening around here, and shoot, most places, there's no
- 4:30Speaker 4: guarantee of victories playing any level of football, But you know,
- 4:35Speaker 4: I would rather our fans and people watching and be
- 4:38Speaker 4: watching have that additional conference game.
- 4:41Speaker 1: You're also in the unique position and some other guys
- 4:44Speaker 1: are like this where you have I remember talking to
- 4:48Speaker 1: Tom Leach of Kentucky about this the other day in
- 4:50Speaker 1: a similar situation where you have a couple of non
- 4:53Speaker 1: conference games to start it off with, but you have
- 4:56Speaker 1: a traditional non conference opponent at the tail end of
- 4:59Speaker 1: the regular season, that of course being Clemson. So in
- 5:03Speaker 1: that vein having only two non conference games and their
- 5:07Speaker 1: home games against Kent State and Tawison, but you plunge
- 5:10Speaker 1: headlong in to conference.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Play the next week.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Now you at Mississippi State at home, but then you've
- 5:15Speaker 1: got to go to Tuscaloosa right after that. Is that
- 5:19Speaker 1: going to be one of the noticeable things you'll be
- 5:21Speaker 1: looking for, is how ready can the team get itself
- 5:24Speaker 1: through just two weeks of non conference play before you
- 5:27Speaker 1: begin that nine game grind in league play in week
- 5:32Speaker 1: number three.
- 5:33Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the question Craig going into the season. And
- 5:38Speaker 4: we have enough players as a nucleus to be ready
- 5:41Speaker 4: if you weren't changing some things up, and we have
- 5:43Speaker 4: played White, I respect is one of the best defensive
- 5:45Speaker 4: coordinators in all of college football, if not beyond, and
- 5:49Speaker 4: we lost some players there, but we've got some studs,
- 5:51Speaker 4: and I think we'll be as good or a little
- 5:53Speaker 4: bit better on defense. And we've been good enough on
- 5:56Speaker 4: defense the last couple of years to where we should
- 5:58Speaker 4: certainly not have a foreign eight or a year ago
- 6:00Speaker 4: and been better. The question is now what can we
- 6:03Speaker 4: do offensively? And Kendall Browles has come in a name
- 6:07Speaker 4: your folks and you are familiar with, and Texas and
- 6:12Speaker 4: his legacy and his experience and everything we see here
- 6:17Speaker 4: and otherwise I see early is a positive sign that
- 6:20Speaker 4: he will reaignit. Leonora Sellers, our quarterback who was really
- 6:23Speaker 4: a Heisman Trophy candidate at the beginning of last year
- 6:26Speaker 4: and some ranked is in the top three and potential
- 6:29Speaker 4: NFL draft picks. And I feel strongly that he was
- 6:32Speaker 4: absolutely hamstrung last year. And you can blame some of
- 6:35Speaker 4: that on Mike Shula. You can blame it on him,
- 6:37Speaker 4: some you can blame it on really poor offensive line play.
- 6:41Speaker 4: But Leonoris is a much better player than that, and
- 6:44Speaker 4: that gives us great hope. But you're correct when you're
- 6:46Speaker 4: going nine straight and that that tenth game is your deck.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Gum rival who's ranked in the top fifteen in the
- 6:55Speaker 4: country to start the season, who's out of conference? You
- 6:59Speaker 4: know South Caroline again is I think they ranked them
- 7:02Speaker 4: ESPN did on their RPI voting thing of number ten,
- 7:05Speaker 4: toughest schedule in the country. Texas is always there of
- 7:09Speaker 4: course as well, and that anybody in the league is
- 7:11Speaker 4: pretty close to the top. So it will be tough.
- 7:13Speaker 4: It always is. But you know what you didn't mention.
- 7:17Speaker 4: You got a lot of specifics there. But the daggum
- 7:19Speaker 4: thing is we got Georgia the week before.
- 7:22Speaker 3: Clinton to finish the season.
- 7:24Speaker 4: You know what is that? I mean, there's somebody in
- 7:26Speaker 4: the league office that still hates the game Cocks.
- 7:28Speaker 3: I swear I.
- 7:30Speaker 4: Never I want to be a scheduler when I die
- 7:33Speaker 4: and come back in some ways because it does never
- 7:35Speaker 4: seem to go well for us. But yeah, we got
- 7:37Speaker 4: the Bulldogs and the Tigers to end the season. If
- 7:40Speaker 4: we could find a way to make a really good
- 7:43Speaker 4: bowl game and or somehow find a way to the playoffs,
- 7:45Speaker 4: that would be a remarkable year for Shane Bieber.
- 7:48Speaker 1: To say nothing todd of having to go to Tuscaloosa,
- 7:52Speaker 1: to the Swamp and to Norman on Halloween in addition
- 7:56Speaker 1: to having Texas A and M at home, and you
- 7:58Speaker 1: know in Tennessee home.
- 8:00Speaker 2: I mean it's a.
- 8:02Speaker 1: Grind whether you're talking about home or road, isn't it.
- 8:05Speaker 3: It really is.
- 8:06Speaker 4: I think Williams Price and a lot of places still
- 8:09Speaker 4: have great home environments that give you that edge. But
- 8:13Speaker 4: it's nullified some because now these teams, you know, like Texas,
- 8:16Speaker 4: they play in the greatest stadiums home or away every weekend.
- 8:21Speaker 4: So I think the kids get used to it. I
- 8:23Speaker 4: think it's less of an impact on the home and
- 8:25Speaker 4: away schedule. But that guy, you know, I don't like
- 8:29Speaker 4: to go to LSU on a Saturday night, There's no
- 8:32Speaker 4: question about that. The swamp on a reasonable fall day,
- 8:36Speaker 4: if they get up early on you, it is brutal.
- 8:38Speaker 4: There's tons of places like that that make it really
- 8:43Speaker 4: tough to play, But you're right, all of them are
- 8:46Speaker 4: tough now, all of them.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Busityman todd ellis played by Playboys of the South Carolina
- 8:50Speaker 1: game Cocks here on thirteen hundred The Zone. You brought
- 8:52Speaker 1: up Lenora's sellers, and he is viewed as being one
- 8:54Speaker 1: of the one of the top returning quarterbacks in this league.
- 8:59Speaker 2: Where have you seen the biggest.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Growth from him over these past couple of years, and
- 9:03Speaker 1: what are you looking for out of him this season?
- 9:06Speaker 4: Yeah, well, you know, I would say, and he would
- 9:08Speaker 4: say too, that he'd declined last year from the year before.
- 9:11Speaker 4: You know, we won six straight games with him, and
- 9:14Speaker 4: he literally, Craig, if you just went back and watched
- 9:17Speaker 4: those six games, you could tell he absolutely carried us
- 9:20Speaker 4: on his shoulders. His escapability in our league and probably
- 9:25Speaker 4: well beyond. It's like nobody I've seen in the last
- 9:27Speaker 4: two years. So you think you've got him, and then
- 9:31Speaker 4: you know his six three, two hundred and forty eight pounds,
- 9:36Speaker 4: what's the dodgeball saying duck dive that, you know, whatever
- 9:39Speaker 4: that thing is. He does everything to you and then
- 9:42Speaker 4: comes out of the other end of the pile and
- 9:45Speaker 4: makes a play on you, either throwing it down the
- 9:47Speaker 4: field or running And I that never really changed. It's
- 9:50Speaker 4: just we were playing so poorly in the offensive line
- 9:52Speaker 4: last year it was hard to tell. And then he
- 9:54Speaker 4: you know, his mid range passing accuracy is like most
- 9:59Speaker 4: young quarterbacks always need to improve. But I don't know
- 10:03Speaker 4: that I would trade him. I think the kid at
- 10:06Speaker 4: Oklahoma is really special player, A quarterback. He does some
- 10:11Speaker 4: of the same things that Lenoris does. I think Lenoris
- 10:14Speaker 4: is more naturally gifted at getting away probably, And there's
- 10:18Speaker 4: some good quarterbacks in league, don't get me wrong. It's
- 10:20Speaker 4: maybe the best in a while, by the way, I
- 10:22Speaker 4: don't have to tell you that, but I think we've
- 10:26Speaker 4: got some great quarterbacks. I wouldn't trade Lenoris, particularly on
- 10:30Speaker 4: a team that might not be the greatest of talents
- 10:34Speaker 4: in the conference and has some weaknesses. He's the I
- 10:38Speaker 4: think he's the perfect thing for Briles's offense, and I
- 10:41Speaker 4: have great expectations for him. Throws a deep ball. Well,
- 10:44Speaker 4: we get some guys and can go get that. But
- 10:46Speaker 4: you know, he needs to run for six or eight
- 10:49Speaker 4: touchdowns again this year, and he needs to throw for
- 10:51Speaker 4: sixty twenty five hundred yards, and you know we're going
- 10:55Speaker 4: to be pretty tough to beat if he does that.
- 10:57Speaker 1: You know you mentioned you said we've got some guys
- 10:59Speaker 1: who can and get the deep ball. I was reading
- 11:01Speaker 1: a piece in the Athletic this morning about Nick Harbor,
- 11:04Speaker 1: and they're talking about him being the number one freak
- 11:08Speaker 1: as they describe it, back to back years for the
- 11:12Speaker 1: first time since they started doing that. So how would
- 11:14Speaker 1: you describe what kind of a freak Nick Harbor is
- 11:17Speaker 1: at the wide out?
- 11:19Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean literally, sometimes I go out there and
- 11:21Speaker 4: you stand there, we catch him at the right angle.
- 11:24Speaker 4: I mean, he looks like Jadeveon Clowney, except he's playing
- 11:28Speaker 4: wide receiver, you know. I mean, he's that kind of build.
- 11:31Speaker 4: He's too forty plus, but his world class speed and
- 11:35Speaker 4: one of the fastest guys under twenty one years old
- 11:38Speaker 4: in the country. And his problem has been like a
- 11:41Speaker 4: lot of track guys, you've seen this. My gosh, the
- 11:44Speaker 4: Texas produces so many great tech track athletes who then
- 11:49Speaker 4: convert the football or at least the track athletes in general.
- 11:52Speaker 4: But you know, it's the route running. It's separating and
- 11:55Speaker 4: when you're a.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Big guy like he is, sometimes you know he.
- 12:00Speaker 4: Can run the post on you. Occasionally he's gotten better
- 12:03Speaker 4: at that and pulling him in with his hands. But man,
- 12:05Speaker 4: when you really need him to shake somebody and get
- 12:08Speaker 4: that third downplay, it's been a little tougher. I think
- 12:10Speaker 4: he's grown into that role. I think he could be
- 12:12Speaker 4: really I don't think he's ever a sixty pass catching guy,
- 12:16Speaker 4: but he's definitely a forty to fifty pass catching guy
- 12:20Speaker 4: with six to ten touchdowns, and we got six out
- 12:23Speaker 4: of him last year, and he kept improving and he
- 12:26Speaker 4: is special to watch. But you know, he's one of
- 12:28Speaker 4: the ones you stand on the sideline and you go
- 12:31Speaker 4: all the places we go. He stands out on everybody's team.
- 12:36Speaker 4: You throw him off anybody's bus anywhere in the league,
- 12:40Speaker 4: including the NFL. He is a special looking player.
- 12:45Speaker 1: You mentioned that some of the issues last year with
- 12:48Speaker 1: regard to Lenora's production may be declining a little bit,
- 12:51Speaker 1: and you said some of it might been him, some
- 12:53Speaker 1: of it might have been the shoe offense, some of
- 12:55Speaker 1: it might have been the offensive line. How do you
- 12:57Speaker 1: feel about the offensive line this year? They do have
- 12:59Speaker 1: some turning guys, and they have some veteran guys. Even
- 13:02Speaker 1: though they might not have been starters and played a
- 13:05Speaker 1: ton of snaps, I'm sure they were probably in the
- 13:07Speaker 1: rotation just like they do here in a lot of
- 13:09Speaker 1: other places.
- 13:11Speaker 4: Well, we tried, you know, he tried to get him in,
- 13:13Speaker 4: but we were struggling so bad it's hard to I mean,
- 13:15Speaker 4: gave everybody a shot. But we gave up forty forty
- 13:19Speaker 4: four last year, third most in the country at any level.
- 13:23Speaker 4: And so it was hard to stomach and scared to
- 13:26Speaker 4: watch Leonoris at times. We you know, we got a
- 13:31Speaker 4: returning guy, just said Thompson, who was injured in the
- 13:33Speaker 4: all season. He thought about going and the portal comes back.
- 13:36Speaker 4: He was kind of your stud. Definitely played right tackle
- 13:40Speaker 4: guy and could play left tackle as well. One of
- 13:43Speaker 4: the top recruits for a couple of years ago. So
- 13:45Speaker 4: he can't play this year, and then we got to
- 13:47Speaker 4: carry his peak. A transfer was like the number eight
- 13:50Speaker 4: overall guy in the transfer portal from volt Kilina State.
- 13:54Speaker 4: He's playing three on three basketball and a team building
- 13:57Speaker 4: thing in the springtime and he gets the let injury.
- 14:00Speaker 3: So he's questionable all everything.
- 14:02Speaker 4: Everything I hear is he's going to play and he
- 14:04Speaker 4: should be your right tackle stud. But Greg, the rest
- 14:08Speaker 4: of them, I couldn't name two of them right now,
- 14:12Speaker 4: maybe one at the right guard spot has played that
- 14:14Speaker 4: I mean literally, as I called last year, all transfers
- 14:18Speaker 4: in Coach Clements, who came in, has had a long
- 14:21Speaker 4: relationship with Coach Briles. Got to work these guys up
- 14:24Speaker 4: and this type of offense that can cover up some
- 14:26Speaker 4: of those weaknesses where you've got a lot of pulling
- 14:28Speaker 4: you got a lot of guys. It's all inside zone
- 14:30Speaker 4: is fast. It's gonna look more like Tennessee than Texas offensively,
- 14:37Speaker 4: and we got to cover up some of those things.
- 14:39Speaker 4: So I truly don't know. Third practice. Put the pads
- 14:42Speaker 4: on on Friday or maybe I think that's right, Yeah,
- 14:46Speaker 4: this Friday or Sunday, and I'm gonna have to learn
- 14:49Speaker 4: between now and then. I don't know these guys very well,
- 14:51Speaker 4: but I certainly hope we're putting out a better group
- 14:54Speaker 4: this year.
- 14:55Speaker 1: Well hopefully. One of the guys who get to know
- 14:57Speaker 1: a little bit is Christian Clark. They have his run
- 15:00Speaker 1: back here and had a lot of promises of freshmen
- 15:02Speaker 1: before a broken leg and then showed promise and played
- 15:05Speaker 1: well enough in the bowl game and that sort of
- 15:07Speaker 1: thing before before moving on. It looks like, just from
- 15:11Speaker 1: the things I've read that that starting spot in the
- 15:14Speaker 1: backfield is kind of up for grabs right now for
- 15:16Speaker 1: whoever can can take hold of it and hold on
- 15:19Speaker 1: to it.
- 15:21Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I'm you know, I'm skeptical of the
- 15:23Speaker 4: portal like everybody else is, at least for the long
- 15:26Speaker 4: term benefit and good of our game. But it is
- 15:29Speaker 4: what it is right now. So we're thrilled to have him.
- 15:31Speaker 4: Everything I hear is if he's not number one, he's
- 15:34Speaker 4: up in the top couple of those running backs. We
- 15:36Speaker 4: have a big, physical back that really struggled in Shuba's
- 15:40Speaker 4: offense in some ways a year ago named Matthew Fuller.
- 15:43Speaker 4: I've been waiting to see. He's one of those guys
- 15:46Speaker 4: that you know just absolutely runs over you. But he's
- 15:50Speaker 4: got the slide, he's got a low lean, he's perfect
- 15:52Speaker 4: for the SEC. And he's another one and Clark the
- 15:56Speaker 4: transfer coming in as well, and we got to get
- 15:59Speaker 4: better there. You know, we had Rocket Sanders two years ago,
- 16:03Speaker 4: which is a big part of us going on in
- 16:05Speaker 4: a six game run in the regular season, win nine games,
- 16:09Speaker 4: and he did not look much like a running team
- 16:12Speaker 4: a year ago.
- 16:14Speaker 1: But before I let you go, I want to get
- 16:15Speaker 1: your thoughts on your defense, the things that kind of
- 16:17Speaker 1: stand out to you and if there is a concern
- 16:20Speaker 1: or to what might that be on the defensive side
- 16:22Speaker 1: of the ball.
- 16:23Speaker 4: Well, Dylan Sewart's the baddest man on campus. I can
- 16:26Speaker 4: tell you that right now. Yeah, nicest, sweetest guy. And
- 16:32Speaker 4: Craig he's another one that you go stand beside and
- 16:35Speaker 4: you go, man, I was just thirty yards away from him.
- 16:37Speaker 4: It didn't look that intimidating. But he's a true six
- 16:40Speaker 4: to five. You know, he's got a thirty two inch waist. Wow,
- 16:44Speaker 4: you know, with two hundred and eighty pounds. Literally, that's
- 16:48Speaker 4: what led to his back problems. They say his his waist,
- 16:52Speaker 4: back and middle torso is so small that he struggles
- 16:55Speaker 4: to support that great speed and athleticism. But a coach
- 17:00Speaker 4: used to say that I had a great respect for
- 17:02Speaker 4: nam Brad Longing defensive ended line. Coach used to say,
- 17:05Speaker 4: he can run under a picnic table at full speed.
- 17:09Speaker 4: He's got that lean, He's got the absolute explosion. If
- 17:14Speaker 4: he's healthy, nobody wants to be a part of him.
- 17:17Speaker 4: We have three linebackers returning, which are all good players,
- 17:20Speaker 4: but should explode to the next level. And then I'll
- 17:23Speaker 4: tell you what Clayton White has done. An amazing job
- 17:26Speaker 4: ALLLL with coach Bieber, we have got some defensive backs
- 17:29Speaker 4: that has not been our problem. We have got some
- 17:31Speaker 4: safeties in corners. We can play that game. Try to
- 17:35Speaker 4: just rush four and play defense with those guys out
- 17:38Speaker 4: on the perimeter, and I feel pretty good about that.
- 17:41Speaker 4: Some new faces on the defensive line, but promising ones
- 17:44Speaker 4: like you said that the built come up through the
- 17:46Speaker 4: system a little bit matured. And you know, in this league,
- 17:50Speaker 4: if you can hold people to twenty four, twenty five
- 17:53Speaker 4: to twenty six points, you can probably win eight games,
- 17:57Speaker 4: you know, a year in that range. You know, you've
- 17:59Speaker 4: got to score thirty for us to be in this league,
- 18:02Speaker 4: and I think we'll be capable of doing that again.
