• 2:12
  Speaker 2: But it's Navy and USC's defense is still just not great.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was a surprise.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's Alex Grinch man.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I don't know how he keeps 400 yards to San Jose State.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Come on.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Vanderbilt beat Hawaii.

• 3:00
  Speaker 1: In Orlando.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the depth chart on the offensive side of the ball.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we never really got into it.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Right, so you know, obviously you have Jordan Travis at quarterback, but a little bit of offseason.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: What was you know the number two quarterback position with you know a lot of names in there.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but Roddermaker solidified himself.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm, and that was good to see.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: You wanted to have someone take over that role.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I think experience is, you know, game experience as well as just being within the program.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It's serving him well right now.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Brock Glenn is the one that.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: He's one of the people.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: From all accounts he's kind of leapfrogged AJ Duffy.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Right, well, you have that, and then the running backs.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: They have running back one and then they have like a running back two and they that's based on.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, it's all based on formation.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: You know what they?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: come out in.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I Benson and Toa Fili seem to be the starters at one and two.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and, but the number two back is Holmes.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, cause I have Holmes, the transfer from Penn State Right.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He's kind of.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, he wasn't really talked about a whole lot throughout camp and I think that's just cause there wasn't a whole lot of familiarity with him as opposed to the other running backs, but he can play man.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Like you know, he's a little bit bigger than Ward, but I think he's a very similar back, and I I mean Rodney Hill and they got him right, or Rodney Hill Right.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Right, I know you like Rodney Hill.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I really like Rodney Hill.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I think he's.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: He can scoot.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's, he's your your biggest home run thread, I think.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, at the running back spot I mean Toa Fili, but but we're going to be doing so much with with Larry Toes.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Well, holmes is a guy that packs a punch, is that right?
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Is he?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's, he's put together.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He's not.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: He's not Trey Benson, powerful looking you know, but he, he's not a tiny guy.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Well then, take us across the line, would you?
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the offensive line is is interesting.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: We'll start at Tackle man.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I'm kind of surprised to see Bless Harris as a backup, but I mean Robert Scott.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know how healthy he's going to be.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You know, but you know, jeremiah, buyers listed it right tackle or bless Harris at right tackle.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I think you can see either one of those guys.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: If Robert Scott's healthy, buyers the transfer from Utah yeah, if Robert Scott's healthy, he's gonna be your starting left tackle.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Um.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I think his health is yeah his health is kind of the question, I think.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: If he's not, you're gonna see bless Harris slide over left tackle.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: So I don't, I think I Think bless Harris is kind of that, that utility offensive tackle for Florida State right now right.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's obviously it could change during the season especially in practice.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: You're probably seeing a lot of him at left tackle, Correct correct?
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's, you know, by, by all accounts, he's had an incredible camp and he's really looking, you know, like a top tier tackle.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: More and more you see that you have to have depth on the O line.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: That gone to the days where an O line Just plays five guys.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think I think I can came out said they got eight guys that they feel they can go out there and win ball games with.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: Obviously you'd like it to be ten or yeah, but still that's a substantial increase from a few years ago.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Well, it's center.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It's Maury Smith.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Casey Roddick's gonna be starting at left guard.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: That's the, the big kid from Colorado.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, big, big, big man.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's 24, 25.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: This is the grown man.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I Heard they were.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: They were toying with the idea having him at center just to see if he could kind of Maybe beef up that that line.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Maury Smith, I think he's right around 300 pounds.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: They were looking maybe for a little size but I think they really feel comfortable with with Smith the most.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if there were problems with just snapping the ball.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I mean experience you know he's been here starting for three years now, yeah, so but I mean I, you know, still still got big up front and still still got bigger.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Right guard is Demetri big me another another grown man, or Darius Washington.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's another thing, you know you still got Darius Washington again.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: He's had his issues with staying healthy.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Uh-huh.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: It's kind of kind of the either or I mean.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: So if everything, if you kind of read into this, if everyone's healthy, it would be, it would be Robert Scott case, erotic Maury Smith, demetria manual and then Jermair buyers as your right tackle.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: But you know that's not the case, because Robert Scott, is yeah.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: How healthy are these guys gonna be game time?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: So we don't know, bless Harris could be your, your first right.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: it's when you notice the improvement at the offensive line room is at Backup and like when you got to rely on somebody else, like bless Harris, as a utility offensive tackle, like I said, like that's, that's really huge yeah.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Haven't, haven't had that luxury in the past.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: Well, um, right next to that, right next, they will go a little bit out of the tight end position, a position that is Extremely made over via the transfer portal.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: We'll see.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Both guys Are ones that tighten one, and that's Kyle Moorlach, and then Jaheem Bell listed it tight in two.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, based on formations.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Based on yeah, based on formation.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I mean you go on blocker for how?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: many.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: How many positions do they have right there on the offensive depth chart?
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I think there's like 13.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: If you count them off right, so it'll obviously be for formation.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's good to see.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: You have a Douglas as the backup and I was excited to see him, so yeah, he's a.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: He's a powerful presence out there and he moves really well.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's up to about 285.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: You know that's algae crumpler out there in terms of size, but that you know when they want to stretch the field a little bit more, open things up.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: I mean you could even see Bell and and an old warlock out there at this.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah time and.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: They got a lot of weapons in the past.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Depth at the tight end position like I don't think FSU seemed a long time.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: No, no, I don't.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: I can't really recall that.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: That a time where they had two, three deep of potential playmakers at the tight end spot.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good, exciting.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the slot wide receiver, which was an interesting.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Here we got Destin Hill boy.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I know you've been all over this.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, I just you know the, the fact that he showed up in prime football shape after the two years, two years of not having any.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: It was on him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: To me it's kind of indicative of how bad this kid wants it.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And apparently he's gone out to the practices and he's just continued to show why the coaches took that risk and had faith in him through that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I just want he's an, or big, or Winston Wright Jr.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Because Winston Wright Jr in his own right is a guy that has a lot of ability and can do a lot of things against the defense and you don't.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: You know Norville's not going to give up on him.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: It was nothing that he could control that took him out of the lineup last year.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Winston Wright's year was supposed to be last season.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know that.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: The injury and everything that went with it.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: So perfect world, I think Norville would like to.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: You know, get them both touchdowns in every game, oh yeah.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: It's again.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: You talk about that backup level.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: You know, who?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Whoever's starting, you know, the guy ready to go behind you is the starter level.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: The depth is one thing I just see across the board here when you start looking at the wide receiver position, because Johnny Wilson, he's listed at wide receiver Z and then wide receiver X is Key on Coleman and there, and that's good to see those two guys.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Look, nfl ready.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: That's on opposite sides of the field, so you're yeah, and some I mean look at the backup.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: So you have Portier, which has really had a great off season, and you know.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: And then you have Darian Williamson and do span, and then Hakeem Williams.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't forget about Hakeem, so you're going to have a lot of guys that want it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: They're going to be hungry, wanting to get the ball.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I would look out for Kentron Plotier.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's going to have a drop off from the spring or the fall.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I think he's ready to kind of earn his keep out there.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just pass block, man.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Right, that's just just get us a pass block.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: That's all we need.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Well, it's good to have the depth.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: You can play people and keep them fresh Not just don't mean healthy, but you can play fewer reps, even, and more efficient reps, yeah.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Like we were.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: We were kind of discussing like, say you, you want to send Johnny Wilson deep, you know, against his press cover here he's on an elite corner, right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: So you send him deep, you run it and you can't get it to him, right, but you want to do it the exact, the very next play.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: But you got to have a ride receiver like Johnny Wilson, a big physical presence, so you stick Keon Coleman in there.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: It's.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: I mean yeah.
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: You got two guys on both ends of the field.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I think that's going to open up the middle of the field.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: It's going to be an offense that has the potential to be explosive.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Lsu has some playmakers in their own right.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: You're probably going to see Harold Perkins match in the middle.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's, he's, uh, he's slides inside this year.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: I they're still going to send him.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Past rush they got a couple of guys on the outside linebacker spots.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: You know they they're going to have a defense man, but the back, the back end of that defense seems to be where they're having some concern.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: So if, like I said, if you can give a little bit of time back there, just give them time to get to the game.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Which team can throw the ball?
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I think both teams are going to try to stop the run.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Um, yeah, I don't see LSU trying like they have.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: They're not going to let Benson, so they're going to try to like make Jordan Travis pick him apart and see if he can get the protection.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: Stand in there and deliver Same thing, same thing with, uh, florida State.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, you don't, you can't have LSU running down your throat and you have to let James Davis pick you apart.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: You know it's going to take a concerted effort to keep them from from running the football Right.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You know it just it's.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: It's got the makings of a shootout man the way the college football has played these games.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Um, you know, I just wanted to get get through it clean.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: It does have the makings of a shootout.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: What defense can make that big play?
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Which quarterback is going to make that huge mistake?
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Right, right, he's going to tell.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: The defense.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: It won't necessarily be about shutting down drive after drive.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: It'll be about who's going to make the play, who's going to capitalize at the right time, and that's you know you got to have guys out there that can make plays.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I know LSU has them, I mean we, we.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: You know I know Florida State has them in that back end, the potential to have it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: But you know, last year it was.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: It was Jamie Robinson for the most part.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Right, so somebody's going to have to step up.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I know you're worried about that.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: And the defense side of the ball and the starters were listed.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, the Buck safety, shaheen Brown.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And I figured he had it locked down.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Um that's.
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: you know, that's a lot of what, what Jamie Robinson did last year Playing.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, he played some nickel too, and I.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: What surprises me is that uh, you know, cypress is going to be on the outside, they're going to have Jerry and Jones at nickel.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so he'll he'll be doing a lot of what they they asked of Jamie Robinson to do as well.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Or greedy vans.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Greedy vans or greedy vans yeah.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: But that's two experienced players.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly, and and again, that's more depth and I really believe the addition of Cypress is really going to bring a veteran, bring some stability to that.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Back just to the secondary.
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: Right, Right.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: I think people, um, you know, if they're expecting them to have added a Thorpe winner award or somebody who's going to be the best DB in college football like that, that's probably a little bit too lofty of expectation.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, and Cypress, but I think that the stability, like you said, consistency, Right, and he's going to be one of those effort defensive backs and you know you're going to see him make it A few plays this year.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: You know turnovers or whatnot that are gonna be just over his.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: You know effort play.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: So well at free safety, a came dent or Kevin Knowles.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they move Knowles back there.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: I Don't know.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I was hard on Knowles last year.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't think he had a good season, you know.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: But maybe he's better back there at the free safety I would.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I'd feel just as comfortable, you know, having one of the freshmen back there?
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they're listed.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: There's two at the Conrad Hussie and KJ Kirkland.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you, man a kid like Hussie who's been been playing safety a lot, even in high school, just more natural to him than it is a kid like Kevin Knowles, who's been a corner and I don't know we'll see.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I mean I like, I like a came dent man.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: I think he's really beginning in his career.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: It was looking like bust steady with him but he's been a solid, solid player dude.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: He's really improved.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: So I you know we're not terrible back there just then, and and then some question.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: He browns backup is a Iceland, baker Barker.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, redshirt freshman, they really like him yeah.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: He's by himself listed as the backup.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna see these freshmen safety plan right playing a lot.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Um Bernardo green is the other corner.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: So Cyprus and green are gonna be on the outside?
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it looks like.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: And then they have Jones or Vance listed in at the nickel.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: That's you know, thomas, coming off.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: Thomas yeah, he's.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He's backing up Cyprus, yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: I'd also wouldn't be surprised to see Edwin Joseph playing Towards the you know, halfway point later into the season.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he's gonna get on the field a lot this first game right, I don't even let all right.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: So you got Ryan Fitzgerald won the kicking battle, or?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it could be huge.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: You like to see him come out early.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: If there's a chance, and just nail it.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: Man, get the Wiggles out.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah you don't want to see anything, where it could just balloon and the confidence can go down.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you, just you know.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He's got the talent fsu fan going into the sometimes I like him better when it's like 47 yards or 50 yards, and then then when it's like 35 at the hash, I'm like oh, you know, I mean at best, and one of those situations.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: To make those I need to be a guy, maybe he'll pull one out of his ass.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Hit a 50 yarder right, but it's the consistency.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: There's none right and that that might you just hope that doesn't come back to bite because he won the job, so that means his competition is even less consistent.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: It's gonna, they're gonna need it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: We'll see, kind of, how the game's called, what coach Decides to do.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I know that there were some questionable calls whether you know you kick or go for it last year.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, you know, I hope it doesn't become a trend throughout the season, but it's.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: It's all mental man they right kickers a hard spot, tough position to keep, loaded with talent.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: You know you kind of just Hope and pray there, man.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, at the linebacker position we have, you know, the usual suspects and Tatum Bethune and Kailin Deloach or DJ Lundy listed there, but Backups Omar Graham or Blake Nicholson Listed and Edwin Joseph listed as that's nickel corner.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised to see those backups playing the young guy Blake Nicholson in particular.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I mean I would look for him on on kick coverage immediately.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Both of those young guys, I think they're both gonna play it's, it's the.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: You know it's a thin spot for Florida State right.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: That's the one position where you can see the safety and the linebacker, where you see True freshman at that.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: I mean you know it's, but that's not.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: That can't.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: That might be a good thing.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I know next year you're gonna have You're upgrading talent, you know oh yeah, oh yeah, I mean it's it.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: They trust the freshman as much as I think they would have trusted somebody in the transfer portal.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: You know you could.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: You could just as easily have a guy that that was a transfer Backing up that linebacker.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: But I think they really like Blake Nicholson and even even Justin Crier, the guy they got laid from Northwestern.
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: I mean he's he's kind of coming on here at the end of the fall camp.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I think he may work his way into that rotation, but you know it's.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: It's your man.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you only play two of them on the field at once right to the time I gives you a little bit less concern of depth.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Right, lsu is gonna come out and they're gonna try to run the ball right up the gut yeah.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to attack Florida State and They'll be running from that spread formation.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, spread them out, see if they can throw to.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: But and then you'll have the the defense event.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: Patrick Peyton, let's just start.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: He's getting backed up by Byron Turner Jr.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah another kid that that apparently is looking, looking promising.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, young kid that's developing right.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: So that could be like a standout, like Peyton was maybe.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: My defense tackle.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: You have Fabian love it or Joshua farmer.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's another.
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Another instance, I mean you know, fabian's 80 back in, yeah he's 80%, he's going right shit, he's 70%.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: He's probably going he's got the other tackle.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that those are the two you'll see out there in the first play.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: That's key.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I think farmer's gonna play a lot.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Farmer will play a lot.
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: The backups are Dennis Briggs he's backing up Fiske and then Malcolm Ray listed as the backup for love it or farmer.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and now you'll see, you'll see a couple others man, you'll see big AO get in there, the Fosse he'll be, he'll be playing, I Mean, I mean it'd be nice to have Darryl Jackson, but I don't think that's gonna get solved anytime soon.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: So no, well, the the punt returner is Going to be Keon Coleman.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I know that's the position you were looking at, I know I was interested into.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Hopefully he can.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Just you want to see at that position that the fundamentals are met.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: You know he catch the ball when it's fair.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: We're supposed to be caught.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: The fair catches, just don't fumble, don't muff it.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: That's, that's number one all the time, and you got a kick returner.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: You got do spanner Trey Benson, and then, because I have homes, there you go.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and running back from Penn State, and then Dennis Destin Hill and Winston Wright, let's just back up kick returns.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: There's the depth chart for Florida State.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: We're ready for this diagram.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Game man.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be next Sunday in Orlando.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Hopefully the Storm doesn't interrupt or stay safe out there.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: But MU is also playing this week.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: They have a huge game week one against Jackson State.
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Jackson State was playing in week zero.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: They got the big.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they did.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: They look good against South Carolina State.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: No drop off.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: That quarterback.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Jason Brown looked.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know his stats against South Carolina State were much better than Shaddour Sanders last game against him.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: But again, that was last year, so it's kind of that's where Sanders really came out Was that game against Famu.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: He lit it up, yeah, and everything that could go wrong for the Rallers went wrong in that game.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a nightmare from the.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: This year's game looks like it's going to be much more competitive.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, knock on wood that there's no distraction.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know this storm is coming, but I think both teams should be in Orlando and Miami respectively before.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, kid looked really good for Jackson State.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's got to be a big game for Famu.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Famu's got more weapons this year.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I think they have a better running game that they're going to unveil, hopefully, against Jackson State.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Take a little pressure off Moosa.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: And and the lean on that offensive line Right.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: So I'm excited about that game.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: I know a snake bit show contributor Albert is going to be there down at the Orange Blossom Classic so we're going to touch base with him later in the week when we do our old college tri pickings and we'll get that underway later this week.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: But in week zero we had, you would say, what was your biggest surprise.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Was it USC?
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean yeah, that that have to be a surprise.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I mean maybe maybe San Jose State's going to be really good this year, have a really good offense, I don't know, but like 24 first downs, 400 yards, no turnovers, you know, 21 to 14 and a half.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: I was surprised they're freshman Zachariah Branch yeah, that kid is ridiculous.
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I mean he's, he's like, he's a lot like Reggie Bush.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: But he's like a team that.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: I got.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: They play hard against the teams that they're supposed to be, and that question was answered.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame impressed me in the way they took care of business and I'm telling you, man, they look scary with that, with the quarterback, that can do damage.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Next thing you know, this little guy's got four touchdowns.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Now he just like, he just slowly just kills you.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: There's three big games for Notre Dame, and USC looks a lot more winnable If that's all they're going to.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Sam.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Hartman yeah, he's going to.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's going to get Heisman Pub after that game, after after next week too Sure, um, I don't know, man, we'll see what happens.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, like I was saying, though USC, you want to see that they have the discipline to take care of business.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: When you get a guy like that, I think the defense has much improved.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Freemans, the defense coach.
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: You can kind of say, hey, let the offense go, you got, you got a quarterback doing that thing.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: He can focus on the defense.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: If they get through that stretch of one loss, they're going to be in the playoffs.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, how many teams do they play with a pass rush?
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: That's what was it going to know NBC is really happy about that matchup that they have Ohio State at Notre Dame in a few weeks.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're going to get the buck.
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: Guys, man, I uh, unless they can get after Hartman, yeah, I just that's going to be the key Right.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Can anybody get to Hartman?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: Yep, Well, that's always the key man, but it's exciting man, it's really here.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: It's really here.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Everybody.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Stay safe out there with the hurricane or whatever coming.
• 27:38
