• 1:09
  Speaker 1: But guess what, baby? Who's back in the water?
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Coop.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Happy Wednesday, my boy. How you feeling?
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Feels good. Feels good. Yeah. You know, I was thinking
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: about that is, you know, did folks actually get out
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of the water? Did they have to get that back out?
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And then now it's like, eh.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: So....
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, I, I will say that, uh, I, I am,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: I've got my, I've got my, got my feet and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: waiting in it. Right. I haven't really dunked myself down
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm not going to go see how long I
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: can hold my breath, but, uh, but, uh, you know,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: I'm in it.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: That is so funny.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: No, I'm, I'm a hundred percent. Of course. In the
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: water still. Some people have been getting life preservers and
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: getting people to pull them out. Nope. Your boy's still
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: treading that water. It's getting a little high. It's getting
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: a little high to the nose. It's right underneath there.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: I can still breathe. But yeah, I am still in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: that water. But no, we appreciate y'all joining per the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: usual Wednesday night. We always do this. We'll talk Brent
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Venables and his presser. We'll definitely talk a little bit
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: about what Ben had to say as well. They both
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: had some pretty interesting takes going into the game. I
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: think the one big one is Brent Venables and his
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: practice thoughts. The question was asked, the availability report will
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: be available at 7-10. First off, he talked about Fasusi,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and he says that he's almost there. He's getting ready.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: He has a couple more hurdles to get past this
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: week to potentially play. I don't think he gets past them, but, Coop,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie. It would be a great
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: surprise if he does end up suiting up and playing
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: because he's been suiting up the last three weeks.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the last thing that you want is, Situations
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we've seen over the past couple years where somebody comes
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: back in and they go for 15, 20 snaps, and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: then we have to rehash a video clip of him
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: just one arm blocking again like he's running a football.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: So I want him to be able to be good
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to go. The thing with a shoulder or a big
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: joint like that, this is probably something he's going to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: have to have surgery for after the season. And whenever
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that's done, you know, there's a little bit of rehab.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: But you can always kind of, you know, hurt it
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: more or hurt it again. And so if he's ready
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: to go fully, I'm all for seeing him out there.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: But I also want him to know that, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: as it looks like in the second half, the team
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: kind of rallied behind, you know, around each other and
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: really started pushing each other. And so the line showed
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: some development. So, you know, they can look at him
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: and say, hey, man, we got one more week. You know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: we'll let's see you back, you know, the following.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. If he can physically play without doing more damage,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: which that's very much. I mean, it's more is really
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: doing heavy lifting here. I'm totally here for him to play.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: I know he wants to play. I know he's been
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: conditioning and wanting to get out there. I also don't
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: want him to jeopardize himself just in general. But if
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: he's cleared medically and they say he can play and
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: then he's cleared with his team, his people, to go
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: out there, he's going to play. And I want him
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: on the field because he is the best option at left.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And he helps give us a better offensive line configuration. Now,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the good thing is... I guess the silver lining in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: all of this, Coop, is that because Fasusi has been out,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: we've been able to see others try to make an emerge. One,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Noah Best has stepped up and has become a dude
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: that probably is going to be locked on that left
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: guard going forward because he was balling against Texas. He
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: was tossing the big boy in the middle. That's what,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: like 390th? He was tossing him all around. I'm like, okay, Noah,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I see you. He's the one responsible for that big
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: run for Avant because he pushed him over to the
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: side like he did. And you're like, that's what I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: talking about. Made the hole open and he went. And
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: you got to see a little Peyton Joseph, which it
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: sounds like, like Gabe has been raving about him at
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: right guard, saying, hey, man, he might be a dude
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: if he gets his body composition at the proper space,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: but right now he's playing at a high level. You
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: may have your line set with those two at guard,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Fasusi and Foget at the tackle. So in the end,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: or most likely, if anything, Best is going to move
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to center. At least he should. And that gives EPL
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to get back in at left guard. But
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: you've got a situation where the silver lining is you
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: found another set of guards that can play. Our problem
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: is we're just super thin at tackle.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I want to see Deacon Schmidt personally, but I understand
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: why he's not playing.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're going to put in who they think
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: is the best route. Typically, you don't want to make
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: you know, make mistakes in practice. So you go out
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and you practice really, really well, you're going to get
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: thrown out there. Guys like Peyton Joseph, that's a dude who,
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: you know, if Peyton Joseph at his best is a very,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: very big prize-winning, you know, NIL offensive line pickup. You know,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Deacon Schmidt, I mean, what are we, you know, just
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: a few months in, you know, the second month of
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: the season here, Um, you know, he's, uh, he's, he's,
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: if he gets out there, um, you know, I want
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: it to be for like a long-term situation, but you know,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: it's good to see him, you know, rotating and every
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: once in a while, that's why, uh, unfortunately we don't
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: really have any of the, uh, the bottom of the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: sec feeder, uh, on the schedule. And, but, um, so we're,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: we're going to still see people rotating in, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: every once in a while, you're going to be able to,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you know, pull over a Peyton Joseph and have a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: conversation with him, maybe throw out a Deacon Schmidt out
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: there for a few snaps. And you want to be
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: able to do that while we can, because, you know,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you don't want to go in a situation where now
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you've got Deacon rolling in the middle of the season
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: with like five snaps on his, you know, docket and
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: asking him to go up against some of the nastiest
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: defenders in college football. So if you can rotate them in,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe when a guy is a little bit
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: more tired and put a fresh body out in front
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: of them, I support that, but you said it. We
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: keep on seeing more and more depth out of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: guard spot, but the tackle spot, we're one other injury
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: away from a scary situation.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're one away, and we need to shore that up. Now,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Peyton Joseph has played some left tackle. I think he
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: actually did in game one, but we're not here for that. We, we, we,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we want to, we're going to foge over there. We're
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: hoping that we can get the Susie back soon. So
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: cross feet and toes, you see him travel to Mississippi
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: state and that's the game that he ends up playing.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: But both Brent Venables and Ben Arbuckle has talked about
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: how much of a leader he's been and how much
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: he has been involved in everything. And to me, that's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: an indication that he's there. That's an indication that he's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: going to go ahead and push to play within the
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: next couple of weeks, especially with BV saying soon. When
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: BV says soon, it seems to come to fruition. I mean,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: if you remember, he said that Michael is going to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: be back sooner than later because they got better diagnostics
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: on him. He said the same thing about Kip. And
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: you look up, both of them are showing up in games.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: You're like, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. Kip showing up in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Georgia shocked me because after the Michigan game, I was like, dawg,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: he gone for the year. He gone for half the year,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: at least. And then you look up and he's playing
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: against George. You're like, oh, wait, we get Kip back.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: BV said he'd be back sooner. He'll be back soon.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Same thing with Mike. So I'm going to stone. Same thing.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So I'll ride with BV.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: So you're telling me that a BV, he's close.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Don't you stop. No, no, no. We're closed. me, Ricky Bobby.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: No. Hey, it looks like that's what's happening down in
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Austin now because there have been about three weeks in
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: a row that we've heard the we are so close
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: comments out of Sarkeesian. And he's kind of starting to
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: look like a knockoff or generic brand Lincoln Riley.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Which. A lot of us have been saying for two,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: three years.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That is 100% true. But it's interesting. As mentioned
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: in the comments, Stevie mentioned it, where all of these
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Kentucky fans are coming from. It's amazing when you go,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: you know, one, you win, you know, you go five
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and one. And based upon your schedule, these guys are
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: pretty excited about it. You got to hold on.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like if Kansas gets good at football
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: or when Duke gets good at football, you have their
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: basketball fan base, which is used to, you know, being
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: the elite of the elite of the elite. And now
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: that's not so much the case. So these Kansas basketball
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: crazies have been looking for a spot to take the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: crazy and they're like, Oh shit, look at the football team.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: They're five and one and they just keep on pulling
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: these games out. And so, All of that comes over here. And,
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: you know, you can tell that the cocky is real,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: but the trash talking is kind of like, you know,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: your mom went to college. It's very juvenile. It's because
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: they're not used to this life. This is new to them.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, on the football side, definitely. Basketball, I mean, they've
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: always been good at basketball, so they should know how
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to talk smack. I think that's the thing that's disappointing.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: They should. It's kind of like knowing Spanish in, like,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: northern Mexico versus, like, Mexico City. It's like, yeah, there's
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: a lot of basketball and football. Those things are close,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: but they know how to talk trash about it.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I mean, they'd be in the stands being mean and rude, right?
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of rednecks in the Kentucky area, too, though.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: So it could just be them being themselves.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's a very fair point.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Don't pet the rednecks if you see them on campus
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: this week. Don't do it.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: All right. On that note, so we got the BV
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: and the Fasusi piece. I'm pretty excited to hopefully see
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: that come to fruition forward. We'll be waiting to see
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: where Eli shows up on the report. But I got
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: to say, I'm pretty happy with how Tristan Haynes played
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: in that game. I got to continue to give him
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: his flowers. He makes me a lot happier with how
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: he played. But I think he'll be fine in this game.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Like Darby, their wide receiver, the freshman, he's good. But
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to just go out there
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: and dominate. Because when you look at Kentucky's schedule, Coop,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: they start the season Youngstown State. Alabama, and they got
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: the doors blown off of them.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: It was not close.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: They beat A & M, and we know what A
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: & M is. They beat South Alabama, whatever. They beat
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: South Carolina, and we thought that everybody was getting fired
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: after that game. But they ended up surviving and then
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: beating Florida up. And then they beat LSU, in which
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: we've had questions about LSU after the loss to Ole Miss.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Because if I'm correct, let me see, South Carolina. Yeah,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: South Carolina lost to Mississippi State, Alabama, and then they
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: lost to Kentucky right after that. It was their only
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: three-game losing streak.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it looked like they had a blowout win at
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: one point.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then Kentucky came back to win said game,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and you're like, what in the heck is going on here?
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: In overtime... They pull out the victory. So they have
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: back-to-back emotional wins in this one. And I love your
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: question here, Jimmy. Does Kentucky have the best offense this
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: defense has seen this year? Absolutely not. Georgia. Georgia's the
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: best offense we've seen this year. Period. Kentucky, in any
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: advanced metrics and honestly any raw numbers, is in the 50s.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: In the 50s. In the SEC, I think they're 9
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: out of 16. So right after Tennessee, right before Auburn. Yeah.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: We've seen Texas. You know Texas has the explosive capabilities
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: to do stuff.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: They're just not very explosive.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Kentucky, when I watch this offense, the number one thing
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: they want to do is balance. Yep. Brent is going
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to– they've got a great offensive line. Don't get me wrong.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I think that their offensive line makes a– I mean,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: kind of a less than average quarterback look slightly better
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: than average, and that's where Minchie's had himself a pretty
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: good year this year. Baxter, the Texas transfer is starting
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: to run the ball a little bit more effectively. Darby
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: is– Yeah, Darby is doing pretty well. He's fun to watch.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Rodriguez tight end. And so the tight end, Darby, Baxter,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and then Minchie. You know, Minchie's not a giant running threat.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I think he's like 11 net yards on the season.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: But they're okay. My fear against facing them is– if
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: they can stay slotted into their offense for the entire game,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: this is going to be a nail-biter. Because they are
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: okay with not going deep. They're okay with not trying
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: to get chunk plays. They're okay with five here, six here,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: seven here, three here, four here. They're completely okay with
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: death by a thousand paper cuts. And that's what Brent
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Venable's defense will allow you to do at times as
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: well as kind of what we saw with Texas, is
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: if you don't get pressure, then eventually there's going to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: be an opening where somebody's going to be running free.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And so I don't think that we're going to see
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: Kenny Menchie with, you know, bombs and bigger plays like
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: we saw against Texas this past week. But don't, I mean,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: just don't get it twisted. Like it's going to be
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: one of those situations to where I bet that they
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: move the ball. You know, I don't think that there's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: going to be a ton of three and outs. You
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: want to try to keep them down on third down
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: conversion percentage. But we got to win with some tackles
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: for losses and, you know, forcing incompletions early so that
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: they're facing a third and long. Because if they see
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: a third and four or a third and five, third
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: and three, somewhere in that J, they're going to run
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: the ball and then they're going to go for it
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: on fourth down if they're in anywhere near favorable and
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: competitive field position. Because You know, Will Stein, I mean,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: he was learning under Dan Lanning. Dan Lanning will go
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: for it on fourth downs.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. And the thing for me is, like, Kentucky,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: this is going to be a nail-biter. This actually may
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: be similar to the old-school Mark Stoops-type games, where it's
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: a legit battle battle. Because, like you said, they'll beat
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: you with the death of a thousand paper cuts. They
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: will slowly... move but this is probably the second best
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: offensive line that we've seen this season like they're right
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: behind Georgia and in some cases you may even give
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: them more props than Georgia I think Georgia has one
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: of the better one of the best offensive lines in
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: the country I think Kentucky's right there with them but
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Georgia's offense is full of explosive plays and Georgia fans
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: complain that they don't have enough explosive plays they have
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a ton of them it's just what fans are fans
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: can't do anything about that yeah The big thing with
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Kentucky for me is they have had a very favorable schedule.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: They haven't played a good defense really yet. I'm trying
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: to remember. Was Weeks playing in that game against LSU
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: with Weeks? Because I know that he's been out for like,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: feels like 10 years.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: He's been out. It seems like we're talking about Fasusi.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: He's been able to come back. And then something gets
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: nicked up and he has to go back out. So
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not 100% sure on that game.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go look. I'm going to pull up
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the availability report from that game, which was, there's a
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: report archive is what I was looking for. And that was....
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: I don't see weeks in the box score.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he was out last week. He's been out. Yeah.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: He didn't play versus Kentucky. He didn't play. Did he
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: play versus, or was it the A & M game
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: that he got hurt? Yeah, he didn't play. They didn't
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: have weeks. They didn't have trade as green. Yeah. So
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: he lost their big tight end and he lost one
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: of their best defenders, who's been kind of probable most
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: of the season. But yeah, it, that helps. Kentucky definitely
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: exploited that, which is exactly what you're supposed to do.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: When you find out key players ain't playing, you exploit
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: that stuff. You make them beat you with other stuff.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And gotta give it to Kentucky, man. They've been taking, hey,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: they're playing with house money and they're gonna keep winning.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: They keep winning. That's all that matters. Luckily for them,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: they got us and then they got Vanderbilt right afterwards.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: And their defense ain't very good.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: No.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: At all. Our offense stinks. But it feels like we
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: found a spark. in the fourth quarter. And I'm not
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: gonna say that that can fully carry over, but if
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: this offensive line maintains the mean streak it showed in
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of the last game, this is the
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: offensive line we thought we were gonna have this season.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Fourth quarter was the best performance. That was when you saw, oh, okay,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: y'all actually know how to play football again. And that's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: what you were hoping for is, give me some of
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that fourth quarter action where you're running the ball a
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: little bit. You ran the ball in the third quarter
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to really get yourself to the point where you, you know,
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: you got to the, 80 yards rushing in the third,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: got you right there before the end zone and you
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: scored the touchdown at the beginning of the fourth. And so,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: second half you play, you put up a lot more
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: yards in the second half than you did, of course,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: in the first. You put up 69 in the first half.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: You put up, what's that, 169 in the second half.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: If they can carry that over, you absolutely could win
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: this game. Now, Vegas does not like Kentucky. I get it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: But don't sleep on them like you said, Coop. I
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: would not sleep on them at all.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: You know, what's really crazy is looking against the actual
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: teams that they've played, not counting South Alabama, Kentucky against
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: LSU is the only game that they play that they
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: didn't really just come out and make really, really effective adjustments.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Against A & M, they came out and they scored
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: 21 points in the third quarter. Good third-quarter team.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: And then, again, South Carolina, it was 14 points. And then,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: like I said, LSU, it was only three. Granted, they
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: did get, or sorry, it was zero. And they got
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: six and then eight in OT. So, you know, that
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: typically is a sign of a good coach, is obviously
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: being able to take somebody back into the locker room.
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: Minchie is the type of quarterback who, like Gunnar Stockton,
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Sam Erlinger, you know, like these guys are going to
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: they're going to play until they're dead and they're going
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: to keep going and keep pushing and keep pushing and
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: keep pushing. Now against this defense, if Venables is in
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: his wheelhouse and we'll know pretty early, if he's in
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: his wheelhouse, we may see a backup because Menchie's the
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: type of guy that will run, you know, and sacrifice himself,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: you know, in the second quarter or the third quarter
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: on some crazy, you know, run or something. So you're
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: going to get your opportunities to, to really get after him. Um,
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: And I think that that's one of the things that
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: their offense really draws off of is you've got those
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks like a Josh Allen you guys saw on Monday
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Night Football. The guys who just, when you've got everything
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: bottled up, they're going to take off and just will
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: a play to first down. Baker Mayfield is a perfect example.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Minchie is all about will, but he's going to try
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to give his playmaker an opportunity. He's not really going
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: to take off a lot and scramble around. He also
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: is not the athlete that Arch is, so I don't
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: know if he's outrunning any of the DNs or linebackers. But, yeah, Jay,
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: I fully expect on offense they're going to, like I
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: said earlier, on third down, if it's three, four, five yards,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: they're probably going to be running the ball and go
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: for it on fourth down if they're not backed up
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: on their own side because they know that their defense
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: is not good at all. And they're going to need
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: to put up points if they want to do it.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: And they're going to you know, this is points don't
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: come easy against the BV defense. Nope.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: And they do a really good and they take a
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: lot of risk and they have no problems with taking risk.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And that's the one thing that means she is that
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: that Will Stein has done. And that's a friendly reminder.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: You bring an offensive coach is very easy to turn
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: things around. Staying consistent is always the tough part. But
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to get recruits. They're going to get
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: a lot of attention. They're going to get everybody's best
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: because they are putting out a good offensive product. They
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: just got to rebuild the defense. They got to build
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: the defense to be something similar to what Mark Stoops
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: had over there. They want to play better defense. But
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: to the point of that, Stoya, George Stoya over there
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: at Scoop posted this on the socials. And this is
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: something I talked about a couple of days ago in
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: a video and just kind of talked about how, where
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma could end up or go from this win against
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Texas because of who they're going to face going forward.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: Here's the SP plus rankings of the teams on defense
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: we're going to see going forward. So if you look
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: at this, Coop, and I pointed this out before, The
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: worst one you synced was UTEP. You put up 51
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: points on them. Kentucky's in the hundreds in everything. In
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: total defense, scoring defense, and in SP plus defense, they're 60th,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: tied for 60th. That's the advance. And the advance metrics
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: there is based upon opponent adjusted, which is the most important.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: You want to make sure it's opponents. If it's opponent adjusted,
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: you can... to me it's, it's, it's better, better understanding.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: If you look at efficiencies on the defensive side of
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: the ball, Kentucky's 28th in defensive efficiency based upon who
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: they play. We're number four in the country. So we'll
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: be the best defense they'll see so far this season. Um, uh,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: well actually LSU's third because of that Clemson game. Um,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: but LSU has looked really pedestrian when they go up
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: against some actual offenses. As of late, we've gone up
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: against some really good offenses. And when I saw the
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: graphic and I posted it too, when I talked about it,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: talked about this, these metrics, Georgia, they're in all their wins.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: They had a offensive success rate of over 41% in
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: every game, except for against Oklahoma. They were like 34%.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Their success came because John Mateer handed them the ball consistently.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: But I digress. This is what you're going to be
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: facing going forward. Missouri will be the best defense you'll
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: see by the end of the season. Florida has been exposed.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss has definitely been exposed. A & M has
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: still got really good players. They just have not performed
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: at the level they should. South Carolina still has good players,
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: but they have definitely not performed at where they should.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State, They don't have the players or the performance.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: You're looking at these, look at the numbers. The numbers
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: tell you Oklahoma has a chance to bounce back on
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: offense in this game. Will they? That's the question. But
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: I do think this is going to be a rock fight.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a lot closer than
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: people want. The spread is six and a half on
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: most books. Some have them at seven. I think I
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: saw one book throw it at seven and a half.
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: mainly because all the traffic is on Kentucky as a
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: seven point dog. Spread's not going down. So if you
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: ask me, Vegas knows something. It reminds me of how
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: all the action was on Oklahoma going up against Michigan
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: and the spread never moved.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I think, you know, by looking at this video,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Vegas expects OU to kind of either give up a
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: late touchdown and then get a defensive stop to win by,
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: you know, somewhere between three and five points. Like, that
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: seems to be it. Like, they're not bringing down that spread.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: They're not....
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Raise it. Want more action to continue to come in
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: on one side.
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, I think that there's a lot that
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: goes into that. But this is going to be a
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: situation to where, you know, if Brent Venables gets his
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: way on how he wants this to go, it is
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: for some three and outs, like make Kentucky chase us
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: the entire game. Try to play with a lead the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: entire game. So if Kentucky takes the ball first, you
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: shut them down, you get favorable field position, get a
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: couple first downs, God forbid you score on your first
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: drive of the game. But keep the field position game
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in your favor. And you know that this offense just
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: you know, typically has the ability to show up. And
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: so now if you can show up and then, like,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: get yourself into the end zone and not throw a
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: fumble backwards, you know, or something like that, you know,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: that would be beneficial. But, you know, this is John
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: coming back home. You know, he went to Georgia last
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: week or two weeks ago, three weeks ago, and then,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: you know, at Texas. So the fans are going to
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: be pretty– Pretty excited. It's going to be phenomenal weather. Oh, yeah,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: it's going to feel good. It's not going to be
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: 90 degrees. So OU needs to, I mean, you got
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: no issues. I mean, you pretty much can see what
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: happened out in front of you before we get to
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: the game. But, yeah, this offense needs to be able
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: to capitalize on drives. And I'm going to say, you know,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: as great as I would love Tate Sandell to pop
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: through three or four more field goals, I think that
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: if you've got a good productive drive going, you've got
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: to punch it through. You've got to get into the
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: end zone for a touchdown, and I don't care how
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: it happens, whether it is John Mateer running or throwing
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: or one of the running backs, whatever it needs to be.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I would like to see us test out the athleticism
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: of their linebackers quite a bit, which means using Hayden
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Hansen and Rocky Beers, and then also if somebody in
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: their nickel package comes in and grab somebody going after them.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: There's going to be some opportunities because where they are
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: a bad defense, a lot of it's because they don't
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: have a ton of athleticism.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: That's all it is. They're building the horses. They're building
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: a good foundation, and that's the one thing I would
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: give it to Kentucky fans. I don't think the fan
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: base believes a national championship is happening this year, but...
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: I do hope that they recognize that they are building
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: something special there because Will Stein's a really good coach.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: He showed in the Alabama game, and luckily their defense
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: had a first-year starter in that game going up against
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: Keelan Russell, who has now improved a lot over the
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: last few weeks. But they got him early, which was
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: perfect for them, a perfect space for them in that game.
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: Kenny Minchie, that was his one and only interception. It
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: was a pick six. So since then, he's been very
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: careful with the ball. I want to talk about what
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: that means, because this defense will have to turn it
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: up before we do that. Don't continue. We're gonna shout
• 32:02

• 33:27
  Speaker 1: I'm very intrigued by all of the weird formations he uses.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: And it was a question asked by Mike earlier about
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: does their offensive play style, do they play right into
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: what Brent Venables likes to do defensively? Not really. Because
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: it's like they do a bunch of quote-unquote gimmicky stuff,
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: but it's not gimmicky. uh, not based upon the way
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: they execute it. It's, it's weird formations. It's some, like
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: there was one play I posted on the socials. It's like,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I look forward to BV scheming up against that because
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: it's going to be some odd, odd sets. It could
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: be like a, a flex bone or something crazy. Winky,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: weird look. And, um, they'll hit a dude wide open
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: on a catch. And I am like, okay, I want
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: to see what BV and what this defense, how prepared
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: are they going to be for the handoff or for
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the pass? But Kenny Minchie has been nails ever since
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the pick six he threw against Alabama. He understood the assignment.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: And he's a like 67% completion. They have done well
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: offensively going forward. He's gotten over, over 200 yards in
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: all their SC and all their, uh, SEC games, except for, uh,
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: Alabama on the pass. And, uh, They've run for roughly
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: 130 yards, 120 yards in SEC play. Like Bama only
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: gave up, they only got 63 against Bama. They got, which, yeah,
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: they got 122 South Carolina, 155 versus LSU, and then
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: 156 versus Texas A & M. So they like to
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: run the ball. They want to run the ball as
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: much as possible. Most of the yards they've gotten this season,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: they've gotten over 500, they got 595 yards in their
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: non-conference game, South Alabama, as well as Youngtown State. But
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: P4 games, it's been roughly in the, like I said, 155, 122, 156,
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: and 63. So they haven't got a lot, But they're
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: going to want to run the ball. That's going to
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: be their bread and butter. Kenny Menchie's job is to,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: like you said, make sure you don't lose the game
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: by making too many mistakes. And he's done a good
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: job of not doing that.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the LSU game, I do want to point out,
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: when you're talking about these types of stats in this comment,
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: it can go one of two ways. For the support
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: of my comment, um, against LSU, CJ Baxter had 19
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: carries for 123 yards. One of those runs was a
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: 77 yarder. Yeah. So he's got the capability to be explosive,
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: but I mean, that puts him at two and a
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: half yards per carry otherwise. And there were not like
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: a bunch of, I mean, obviously there's not a lot
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: of wiggle room for like, Oh yeah, he had multiple
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: long runs. No, he was running for about two yards
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: of pop until he got out for that 77 yarder.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: That being said, um, you know, I, I, we, we
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: keep on kind of going back to it, but, Kenny
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Menchie is going to– he's not going to really put
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: a ton of pressure on our guys from a– running
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: deep with receivers. It's going to be thought processes. And
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: going back to like the formations, a lot of his formations,
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: he'll come out and he'll come out with like a
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: 12 personnel and have two tight ends, one split out
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: and then one kind of in line. and then he'll motion,
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: and he'll bring both of those tight ends down and
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: a receiver in the backfield, and then all of a
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: sudden you've got kind of a goal line formation or
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: a short yardage formation, and then they'll run routes out
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: of that. So there's just a lot of changes, which
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: is going to mean trusting your eyes. If they get
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: us on any of those, it's going to be fun
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: to listen to Teddy. You break that down, but it
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: seems like in the past couple years, if somebody got
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: out of formation or it usually was an alignment situation,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: you're going to have to have those alignment situation, uh,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: alignment responsibilities, uh, taken care of because, you know, they
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: brought up that when Cooper got off against us last week, uh,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: you know, in that little backend, we were misaligned on
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: three of the four runs. And the fourth one that
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: we weren't is the one that Owen Heineken hit him
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: in the backyard, backfield, like two yard loss. And, you know,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I ended up forcing, eventually forcing the field goal.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: So, Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I think that BV has very, very, very,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: very in tune with after 23, we beat Texas. We had,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: you know, some unfortunate injuries. I think Danny got hurt
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: at one point, but the, the focus kind of dissipated.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I promise you the, the communication in the locker room
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: has been, we did a good thing. We still have
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: a long way to go. That good thing gave us
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: the opportunity that the back half of the schedule, you know,
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: is going to present to us. And every single thing
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: that you want to do is still out in front
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: of you. You just have to go out there and
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you have to do it. And, um, Jay, you know,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: I just, I think that one of the biggest goals
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: for the defense is, is they're not going to put
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: the ball at risk. Then you can't allow chunk plays.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: And that should be the exchange. Now, Do I think
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: that eventually Kenny Menchie is going to get a tipped
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: pass where he's going to try to scoot something in
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: and over-try and the ball gets popped up in the air?
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: I do. Do I think that he's susceptible for a
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: sack fumble? I do. You know, if you keep him
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: in the pocket, they've got a big offensive line. It's
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: bigger than a lot of the NFL lines.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like Bama was when we played them last– 2024
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: and 2025, truth be told. Yeah, I know, 100%.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, their average offensive– you know, Menchie's a 6'2 guy.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: So it's not like he's. five, 10 back, back there,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: but you keep them in the pocket and he's going to,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: he's going to, you know, try to step up and
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: manipulate the pocket. So this is one where it may
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: be okay. If you can kind of scoot him out
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: and chase him to the sideline, he doesn't operate efficiently,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: you know, while moving to the left or right, kind
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: of like you've seen Gunner Stockton and Arch Manning.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Right. No, I 100% agree. That is the big difference
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: with his play. He's really just– he's going to be
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: surgical with this play. He's going to be in the pocket.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: He's going to stand tall, and he's going to just
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: hit you. And that's where Cole Sullivan, who's back, looked
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: good against Texas. Cole Sullivan, Kip, Owen, right? And then
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: hopefully– I want to see more Bathurst. We haven't really
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: seen him, but him– That's where your linebacker play is
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: going to be critical. I have no concerns in the secondary.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: We saw Tristan Haynes and Cortland Guillory both play, what,
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: the entire game against Texas?
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: I know that Haynes played every single snap.
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: Every single snap. Arguably, against the best set of wide receivers, skill-wise,
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: we're probably going to see this season. That's nothing against
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: the players there at Kentucky. Like I said, they've got
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: some good players, but athletes, Wingo and Coleman are insane.
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: But they did not give you the game that you wanted.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: And it was mainly because in a lot of the,
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: the play calling to me was their biggest problem. Uh,
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: but yeah, Cortland played, um, yeah, Cortland and Tristan both
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: play 66 snaps. Reggie Powell's playing 65. I expect that
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: to be a similar play in this one. Uh, but
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: their goal is to get off the field as fast
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: as possible. Kip played 64. Um, uh nesta nesta is
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the one i was thinking about nesta and bathurst i
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: want to see them do better in coverage in this
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: game because that's where they're going to need to be
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: playing tight ends don't let the tight end sneak past
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: you don't let him creep out and you not pay
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: attention to him but the defensive line their work is
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: cut out for them because this is like the second
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: best d line they're O-line they've seen this season. And
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: if they can keep the pressure on early, which could
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: be a thing that BV does, he could turn up
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the heat with more blitzes to, and more havoc plays
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: to make Menchie process faster. That could lead to those turnovers. Yeah.
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: But he's also very good at decision-making. So I'm not
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: going to bank on any of that. But as, as Mike,
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: you mentioned film study is critical in this game, just
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: because of all the stuff that they change us. and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: stuff and everything. And like you said, Jimmy, Will Stein's
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: a good coach, and Oregon definitely misses him because their
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: offense is stink.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Struggle bust.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Struggle bust. Now, go ahead.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, you know, as far as
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: this offense goes, Menchie does take care of the ball.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: It kind of reminds me of last year going into Tuscaloosa, and,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: you know, Simpson had only thrown one interception. We got
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: him into two that game. And so you can force
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: this guy into it. And I can promise you, I'm
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: just going to take, yeah, no, I can promise you
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: there's no defense that they've played to this point that
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: is going to be as good as ours. Alabama's very good,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: and they only scored 17 points to get them. So,
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: you know, against the poor defenses, you know, they were
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: able to take advantage of field position and really punch
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: it in. But, you know, you can force him into
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: some issues, and this guy's, I mean, He's done very,
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: very well managing and shepherding this offense at this point.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: But you get him shook a little early and get
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: him seeing ghosts, and then all of a sudden he
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: is going to put more pressure on himself than we're
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: going to get on him.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: That's what you're hoping for. He puts the pressure on
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: his own shoulders more than, honestly, you do. But, yeah,
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: I'm ready for the report. We'll get it in about
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: 20 minutes. So thank you all, of course, for pulling
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: up and hanging with us at the like button. If
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: you new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review, give us
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: five stars. So John Mateer in this one. So there's
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: been conversations about, you know, he's talked about his confidence
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: and just how he's feeling in preparation for this game
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: and all of that stuff and how everything went last game.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: Ben Arbuckle's talked about how much of a fighter he is.
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: His teammates have literally rallied behind him. We talk about
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: that in, it feels like a cliche-ish ways or whatnot.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: But no, like these Sooner players have legitimately surrounded this kid.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: They love John Mateau. And they've got his back on everything.
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: To the point of, this is the game where he
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: needs to get his ish together. Period. You ain't hurt.
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: You need to, this is your jumping off point. The
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: offensive line and the offensive line had some really good
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: pockets against Texas. And he was bailing on them early. Who,
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I think it was Cole Kublik had posted some stuff
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and I think it was him and somebody else, but
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: they were, Joel Klatt, Joel Klatt posted something. He was
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: pointing out how he was bailing on pockets that were
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: actually good. And it's like, dog, you've got to, I
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is running through his head. I
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: don't know what's making him so nervous. It's something. I
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: don't know what. I don't know if it's re-injuring his
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: thumb and feeling like a season's going to end. I
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: don't know. But I need him to recognize that you
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: got to stop playing scary. I was very happy that
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: he threw two back-to-back passes deep, even though neither one
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: of them landed in the receiver's pocket, but he took
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: shots and he still threw the ball and felt good.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: It was like after that, he started dropping some dimes.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: At one point, he was nine for nine in his passes.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: And that made me very happy that he was at
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: that point. Yeah, it was actually, he threw the pass
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: to Choice and Elijah after his nine for nine. And
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: then he started to really start to lean into what
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: he needs to do. He started to zero in. He
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: only threw, after those two deep passes, he threw three
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: incompletions the rest of the game and he threw four completions.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: So he was four for seven. I would like John
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: to do more of that.
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think that a large part of that comes, too,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: because he was processing. You saw early, I think it
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: was the first drive of the game. He was in
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: the pocket. It didn't look like it was breaking down,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: but he starts scrambling. He scrambles to the near side.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: He cuts back, and he goes back the other way.
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: Then he comes back to the sideline, and he ends
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: up getting tackled for a three-yard loss. Like, at that point,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: you just throw the ball away. Like, don't take the hit. Like,
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: get it out there. Get it out there. If there's
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: a little man downfield, fine, great. You know, go back and,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: you know, do something again. But don't get– you know,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: don't take those unnecessary hits. But when he started really
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: getting in the flow of the game, it looked like
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: he just utilized the checkdowns a lot better. Yeah. Whether
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: that was tight ends or running backs because even when
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: he does that, let's say that he throws– You know,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: 12-yard out to choice. Looks great, right? And then he
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: gets some pressure. He dumps it off to Lloyd Avant.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Avant spins out of something, gets nine yards. Right. I
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: think that it keeps him in flow, that even if
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: he makes just a simple dunk pass, it's not an incompletion.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: It's a short-yarded situation. And they really drew up plays
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: for both choice and– Elijah Thomas, because it seemed like
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: it was snap the ball, step, step, throw. And so,
• 47:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, typically with that being your, you know, your
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: number one read, you know, go into your number one read,
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: that's a play for that player. So, you know, that's
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: what I'm hoping for is he continues to use the backs.
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: He lets them get out because number one is if
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: they're all selling out to stop the run and you
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: pop out a couple of play action passes to the
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: back or to the tight end, then that's going to
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: make them a little bit more hesitant to crash a
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: gap because they're waiting for that tight end to see
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: if he's going to release and go out into pattern
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: or if he's going to stay in. And if they
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: don't have any necessity to slow down, they're just going
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: to crash those gaps, and it's going to make it
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: harder to run, and it's also going to put a
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: lot more pressure on John.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And I need him to stop trying to force
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: feed Isaiah Satania. Cetania had 10 targets in this game.
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: Choice and Elijah Thomas both had three. So he had six. Which,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: fine with. Everybody else that he targeted besides Elijah Thomas
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: caught all of their targets. Hatton caught his one. Hayden
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: Hansen caught his one. Torrey Blalock caught his two. Manny Choice,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: he had three targets but only two catches. Lloyd Avant,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: Two targets, two catches. Rocky Beers, four targets, four catches.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: But Satania, choice, and Elijah Thomas, multiple targets without the
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: catches that came with it. We got to stop force
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: feeding Isaiah Satania. Well, instead, hit him in stride when
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: he's going to outrun people. Like, you can build it
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: up to where he's going to be open for a
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: deep pass. Because he always is. That's what you should
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: work towards. But get the ball... I would like to
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: see four to five targets to both Manny and Elijah Thomas.
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: I would like a couple of targets to Parker Livingston.
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: Like you've got a good arsenal of receivers, which is great.
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: You just got to throw them the ball when you
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: have an idea that they're going to be open.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: Well, and then, you know, three of those targets to
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: Satania were the first two drives where he threw it
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: in the area of Satania, but all three, none of
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: them were catchable balls.
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: One drops one. Right. And then he had the second
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: one that was just bad. Right.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was. So, yeah, I mean, that's the is
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: we're getting targets. You know, let's get it. Let's get them.
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, we threw, you know, a lot of passes
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: to receivers who apparently were not as good as these
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: guys last year. Let's let's get back to it. You know,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: I think that early in the game. He had Livingston
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: on a route that he was wide open, and if
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: John is anticipating him coming open, I mean, it's a
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: 25-yard-plus gain, and John just didn't let it go. It's
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: not because there was somebody in his face. It's not
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: because there was pressure. It was not because of any
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: of that. It was just because John did not anticipate it,
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: and when he finally saw it, he double-clutched, and then
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: he ended up throwing the ball three yards into the stands.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: Trust the process. In routes like that downfield, you can
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: get away with an oops versus what we saw in
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: the playoff game versus Alabama where you're throwing a route
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: that if anything goes wrong, it's a pick six because
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: there's nobody behind and it's really close to the line
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: of scrimmage. That Parker Livingston throw It was either going
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: to– if he threw it way too far inside, it
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: could have potentially been like a 30-yard punt. You know,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: if he throws it too far outside, it looks like
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: those couple passes to Satania. But anticipation is going to
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: have to happen. It's going to have to happen.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to disagree. There were some plays where
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: they were tipped at the line. I think there was
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: like two passes that were tipped at the line. The
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Satania drop where the ball was behind him for
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: the first down on the first attempt to drive, that
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: was tipped at the line. Yeah, I remember that. There
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: was another one that was thrown towards Satania that was
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: also tipped at the line of scrimmage as well. So
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: he had a couple, if not three, that were tipped
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage and not refuting that whatsoever.
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: My thing is it's just the force feeding it to Satania.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: I think that that's what's leading to those passes getting
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: tipped because they know where you're going. They got an
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: idea of where the ball is going to go. You
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: got to start. We got to find ways to get
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: Elijah Thomas the ball in space and let him go
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: do work. If you see the defense is back five,
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: six yards and they're giving him space, change that bad
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: boy up, run that screen on that side.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Stand up and throw it.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stand up, boom, hit that boy and let him
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: go do work. Let him do some one-on-one action. Let
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: him show us. We keep hearing about the athleticism. Let's
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: see it actually work in action. You're able to throw
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: back shoulder throws. You've shown your ability to do that.
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: When you see the DB's not looking your direction, throw
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: it for the receiver to do a back shoulder jumping
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: catch or something. Give us more of those. That is
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: the stuff that we need to see more of from you, Mateer.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Besides that, the run game is going to be critical.
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: Kentucky does give up rushing yards. Not a lot, but
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: they do. South Carolina ran for over 200 yards. Alabama
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: ran for 150. A & M ran for 180 in
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: that game. But LSU only got 94.
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: Crazy.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: That is something you need to, you need to exploit.
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: Whatever South Carolina did, South Carolina's line ain't been good
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: this year, really. You need to do that. Figure that out.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Because if you can get the run game going, get Avant,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: get Hatton going, please keep Hatton in for more than
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: like three plays in a row. Like, if he gets
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: you a first down, keep that boy in and keep
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: him running. I mean, of course, unless he gets hurt, but.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I've been noticing that we pull, we pull backs. Yvonne's
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: only one has really stayed in for a long time. Yeah.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: I want to see, I want to see someone get
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: a chance to kind of like, you know, get themselves
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: warmed up and, you know, because Hatton, another thing I
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: want to see out of Hatton too is instead of
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: dancing around for the whole, like if you know where
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: you're supposed to hit, just run up there. And I
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: don't care if you, you know, give it a little
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Javante Barnes or Trey sermon where you just, put your
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: head down and run to the gap that's supposed to
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: be there and see if you can break through a wall. Right.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Like let's see Hatton do that because I think the
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: too often he's running, uh, you know, horizontally, and then
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: he tries to, you know, uh, you know, pivot and
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: go upfield and he's not been able to really lay
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: the lick down on somebody, you know, since the first
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: game of the season. And so, uh, you know, I
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: want to see him running some of that outside zone.
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: And if that hole is slim, uh, I don't care.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: Just run through and pop. I mean, maybe you come
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: up off the ground and just, you know, put your
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: shoulders through and hop through because, I mean, at that
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: point you're getting four to five yards anyway. But if
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: there's a hole there, you run through it because you're
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: a big dude. And, you know, trying to use your
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: speed to get out to the outside. At this level,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: you know, someone is going to– every single step that
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: you take horizontally, someone closes two feet, you know, coming
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: after you.
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and as Rodney mentioned, Sellers was the one running
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: the ball like crazy. Sellers was having an insane game.
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: Insane game. And if he had some help, there should
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: have been no reason to lose that game. But at
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: the same time, couldn't figure it out. That's what happens.
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: You're losing overtime when you probably should have won that game.
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: Sellers was out there just abusing by himself. Yes. I mean,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: you're up 17-14. to nothing in the first half. And
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: then you just let them mound a massive comeback. That's
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: just bad defense, but we need that. We need some
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: running for real. So the offensive line needs to get
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: that mean streak that they got when they played against Texas,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: push through that. Now, on top of that, this is
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: going to be a big weekend for visitors. Seneca driver's
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: probably going to be in town. I don't know if
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Keelan Hall is going to show up. That'd be nice.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: I think he's supposed to.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: He was at the Kentucky game. He's supposed to.
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: Then he was very hyped about, let me go pull
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: up the list we have in our Discord. Shout out
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: to my guy Topher up in there. He's in the
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: chat right now. He's always posting who's pulling up. Does
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: a very good job with all of the social media posts.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, you know, the local kid, Camion Compton Nero.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: We got to go ahead and just lock that in.
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: He's going to be a beast in the 28s. Gideon Gash,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: the athlete out of Michigan, is pulling up. Buddy, he
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: shows up. Yeah. Yeah, Topher mentioned it. Keelan Hall is
• 57:02
  Speaker 1: going to Michigan, so he doesn't need to see Oklahoma
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: and Kentucky, even though they're both in the race for him.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Seneca Driver will be here. Of course, all of your
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: commit to be in town, which is a big deal. Yeah, that's, wow.
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: Everybody's going to be pulling up. Jeez Louise. Good Lord.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: All your commit to be in for the most part.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: You'll have some California 2028 linemen coming in. Honestly, I
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: have not even looked at 2028, Coop. I'm not going
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: to lie to you because it's just, there's too many
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: kids right now. And they're doing it all so early.
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: It's like, man, slow down. But it's going to be
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: full of 28s, a couple 29s and 30s. But your
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: big name to keep your eyes out for is going
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: to be that Gideon Gash. I know he loved seeing
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: what this defense did in that Texas game. I know
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: he loved that. I know it. So... Yeah, we're stalling.
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: We've got about 10 more minutes. The availability report will drop.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: We'll have the first look at and an idea of
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: who will be in the game and who ain't going
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: to play. I am really curious to see. I don't
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: think we lost anybody against Texas, did we?
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: Did we lose injuries?
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 58:37
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think. I don't think anybody like left, left.
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: I know Tori did, but I don't know if he's hurt, hurt.
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: He, uh, it looks like a shoulder again. He came
• 58:55
  Speaker 2: out and he was, he had his, it was after
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: one of his actually decent runs. Uh, it was his
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: right shoulder. That was, he was kind of hanging his arm.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: So I'm hoping that I'm wrong. Um, but, uh, do
• 59:07
  Speaker 2: you want to take a look at the, uh, SEC
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: slate while we're waiting for the.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, let's see who's going to be playing this weekend. Um,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: I think this will be fun to our favorite thing
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: to do as we, uh, prepare for this. Thank y'all
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: of course, for pulling up at the like button. If
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: you're new to the channel, subscribe, rate, review, give us
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: five stars. Let's see who plays this weekend and who
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: do we care about?
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: I will start. What you call it playing
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: this weekend? We got the, uh, what you call it? Helmets. The, uh,
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: we got the, uh, but Wilkinson jerseys. I love that.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, the, uh, yeah. Um, Florida, Texas is the first game.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: All right. First off, The third Saturday in October. Third
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: Saturday in October. Bama, Tennessee. That feels like a very
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: high spread. While at the same time, who's our quarterback
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: in Tennessee?
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: Question of the day. I don't think that he has
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 2: named anybody yet. And I couldn't remember, is it Faison Brandon?
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: Did he get nicked up, and is that why they
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: have been kind of rotating in, or was that just
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: the youth coming out?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: I think he got nicked up.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens here because, I mean, you know,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: Tennessee is going to try to let their defense do
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: the best job that they can potentially do, and then
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: they want to run it with Bishop. You're going to
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: have to go off script. So that means whichever quarterback
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: plays for Tennessee is going to have to make some
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: plays because Alabama has found life in their running game.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: It's not traditional Alabama, but they're still running the ball well.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 2: And Keelan Russell, I mean, you know, he worried me
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: just because I said that, you know, kind of like
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: our old buddy who ended up committing USC, played at UTEP.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: You know, he played with freakish receivers, Malachi Nelson. He
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: played with free receivers in high school, and that's kind
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: of what lofted his ratings. And I thought maybe it
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: was going to be the same thing with Keelan Russell,
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: but I was wrong. Keelan is spinning it, and he
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: is running effectively. He is playing very, very well.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: Down at Duncanville, you're talking about DeCorey Moore and Caden Durham. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: He had everything in Duncanville. Yeah, he's spinning it. You're right.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: He is legit. He should be mentioned for who's the
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: best quarterback in the SEC, which means that Tennessee is
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: going to have to get their ish together because this
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: game can end up being kind of like the Alabama-Kentucky game.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: You keep it tight for a little bit, but then
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: eventually just the athletes on Alabama's sideline win out. That's
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: a big spread. It's in Knoxville. It is not Halloween yet,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: but they will be going crazy because it's a 2.30 kickoff. Um,
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I, I, I think I would take Alabama
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: and the points on this one. Yeah.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: Same. Um, Brandon is hurt. He did, he did sit
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: against Arkansas. Uh, he was on injury report questionable and
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: in game time decision. So phase on Brandon, we'll see
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: what he looks like going into their game. That will
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: be an interesting one. Um, uh, injury that that's something
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: to monitor. I mean, McIntyre threw for, well, he threw
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: a couple interceptions too against freaking Arkansas. It's like, come on, dog.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: They were down 14-10 in the third quarter, then they
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: came back and rallied in the fourth. That's never a
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: good thing.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: Now, I didn't want to plague Arkansas with the old
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: two-win season prediction, but as it played out, that's what
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: I said. It looks like that's going to come to fruition.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: But Arkansas, at the end of that game, I think
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: that they had a fourth and– it was a fourth
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: and long, but there was like a minute and 45
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: seconds left and they punted.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: And now there are parody songs written about, you know,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: new coach playing for the buyout already. You know, it's–
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: they are– they're not happy down there in Fayetteville. And–
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: but– I think it was this one in Auburn where
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 2: there are two games. It was Vandy and Auburn. And
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: that is one shitty 6 p.m. ESPN 2 SEC game,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: which is Arkansas-Vandy.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Isn't what you call it playing at night on ABC?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: Who's the ABC? It's BYU and Notre Dame. That's what
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: it is. So basically ESPN cleared out their night slate
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: for that game.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: That's basically what they did. Fox has the Oklahoma State-Houston game.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: And then SEC basically did all 230s. We got Ole Miss-Missouri,
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: which is on SEC Network, which is terrible. That's actually
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: a ranked game. Should have flexed it. ESPN has Georgia-Auburn.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: But anyway, we'll get to those in a minute. Florida-Texas
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 1: is next. Philo's not playing. It don't sound like. He's
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: going to end up on the report. That stinks. That
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: basically just gives Texas the win.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I think that if Philo was playing now,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 2: because the last two games for Florida, I think that
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: I would have potentially still been picking Texas. But, I mean,
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: here's the situation. I think Texas is going to come
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: out with their pissed-off pants on. The better. They are
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: going to because now listen, Philo was in a quarterback
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: competition going into the season. So they didn't know which
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: way that they were going to go. So it doesn't
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: mean that they're throwing out there, you know, Braden Willis,
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: the tight end. They're going to be throwing out a
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: quarterback who they had, you know, you know, came up
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 2: until right before the season. That being said, Florida's defense
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: is like Kentucky's defense. Florida's defense is bad. Very, very bad.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: And so I expect this to be a Texas. I mean,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: this could be like a 54 to 17 type of
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: a game.
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: It could. It really could. Now, I would really love
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: for Florida to come in and play spoiler. Give me
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: some Jane by action and run the ball. Let's see
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: about 40. I know Texas. I know Texas wish they
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: had got by to go there. Boy, they went picked
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: up two dudes and said they were going to have
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: the best. And funny enough, Hollywood Smothers and Relique Brown
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 1: combined in yards is still less than C.J. Baxter. Yeah.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: And C.J. Baxter isn't, I mean, just is now getting healthy.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: That's insane. You spent all of that and didn't even
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: get what you thought you were going to get out
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: of it. But I digress. Texas should win that game, though.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: I don't have faith in Florida after last week. Yeah,
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: I'm good on them. Mississippi State. And LSU is a
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: lot more interesting than I thought. LSU being a 14-point favorite.
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 1: LSU better win this game with Kamario Taylor being out.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: He's got the toe thing. He's been doing it all season.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: So it sounds like it's gotten so bad that he
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: can't play. In that case, he's gone for a couple weeks.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: There's a chance that he doesn't play.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: Jaden Rashada. Is this the Jaden Rashada legacy game?
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: Can you have one?
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: I mean... I mean.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: At this point, Jalen Rashada needs to start asking ESPN
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 2: if he can go cover the World Cup because he's
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: kind of Jameis Winston territory. You're a name that was.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: You have nothing to do with anything nowadays. But they're
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 2: going to throw some go balls, and LSU is going to...
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, their defense... Jay, I think that we may
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: see a couple strip fumbles. This may be a situation
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 2: where LSU gets them on those really, really deep five-step drops.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: LSU gets them a few times, and they get LSU
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 2: a few times. But it's like playing a friend on
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 2: NCAA or football and a dude who just likes to
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: go deep all the time. You're like, come on.
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: This doesn't work. You're going to have to mix other
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 2: things in.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, I get it, but at the same time,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: I'm still going to say, just to remind everybody, that
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Levy's really good with quarterbacks, man. So if he figures
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: it out with Rashada, hey, that could end up giving
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 1: Rashada a market to where somebody's going to try to
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: pick him up.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Isn't he like in his eighth year?
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: No, he's only in his... He's Jackson Arnold's year. Yeah,
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: so he has one more year left. Yeah. So, yeah,
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 1: he'll have his fifth year. And, I mean, it may
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: not hurt if he shows out. But that is what
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: they're going to have to– they're leaning heavily on that kid.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: He is going to have to be the dude. Unless
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 1: Parker Puckett ends up being the starting quarterback in this game,
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: the freshman. I don't think Parker starts, but– You never know.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Jaden Rashada, this could be his legacy game.
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 1: He better figure out something. He's considered a redshirt junior,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: so he's in year four. He's got one more year
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: after that. A & M versus Citadel. Does the Citadel
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: give them problems? Because A & M has stuck.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, if the Citadel has any sustained success for.
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: Three straight drives of any point, that means did good
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 2: on offense, shut them down for like three and out,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 2: and then don't do good on offense. Again, you might
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: have people, I mean, you might have people starting to
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 2: turn to, I mean, break bad because Elko has been the,
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: you know, the golden child out of this situation for,
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 2: for quite a while now. And, you know, with some
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: of the changes in coordinators and everything, um, you know,
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: he's kind of escaped all that stuff. But A &
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 2: M has recruited better than they ever have. They have
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 2: been on the cusp, you know, losing to the eventual runner-up,
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 2: you know, last year. So to come in here, and
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: then I think that he basically targeted the fans with
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 2: a comment after the game the other day. And so
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: now the fans are probably going to get a little
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 2: spicy towards him too. So I promise you this, if
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: the Citadel– If there's a close game after a quarter
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: or it's close to the half, Twitter's going to be fun.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: And all the Aggies are going to put their cheerleading
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: to the side, and they're going to definitely be calling
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 2: for Elko's head.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 1: Yep. And the report is up. It had to refresh
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: itself like twice. Let me get this pulled up for us.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Woo!
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 1: What a list. Goodness gracious. That is a list. Big yikes.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: Let me get it pulled up. Get it lined up properly.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: And here is your injury report going against Kentucky. Let
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: me zoom in a little bit more, though. I like
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: it better zoomed in.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Jacoby, Trenay, Washington, X-Rob, Trail, and Taylor Heim is still out.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Questionable is for Susie. Heath Ozida, EPL, Eli Bowen, Parker Livingston.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Probable is Torrey Blaylock and Jack Vandor-Solaire. So that's a
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: lot better than I thought it was going to be.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: Heath twisted his ankle before the game on Saturday. Yep.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: And still play with it, with a twisted ankle. I
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 1: was impressed.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: Parker Livingston being on there at all doesn't affect me because,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, he runs routes. Eli, I'm not going to
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: get too excited on Eli until the end of the week.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe the Friday one will give us a good indication. Now,
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: if he's probable tomorrow, then I think we're clear. But, yeah, Eli... EPL, Fasusi,
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: and Ozaida. I would say that we see Ozaida. EPL,
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure on. It depends on... I think it
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 2: depends on a lot there. But yeah, it's not too bad.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's nobody out that surprises us.
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. That's like I said, a lot better is crazy.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: Baxter being questionable is a pretty big deal. It is
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: Nick Anderson's probable. He got hurt at the end of like,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: he got hurt during the LSU game.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: He was playing. So he got hurt.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: He was in the game. He was, he was actually
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: in the game.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Like if he was playing, that means he got hurt.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: Like it's, it's a pretty, pretty guaranteed situation.
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And so to me, I'm monitoring for Susie. Does
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 1: he end up with the probable tag.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 2: On Friday?
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 1: I don't think he gets it Thursday, but on Friday
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: he possibly could. But this is way better than I thought.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest. This is way better. Jacoby
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 1: being out sucks, but Tristan, like I said, he's earned
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 1: his spot. I think they're going to end up starting
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 1: him regardless.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: I want to get Trené Washington back on the field.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: That's the only one that's out there. I just wish
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: he could see more time because I think that he
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 2: was really starting to make strides.
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 1: I'm sad that he didn't get his touchdown. That's what
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 1: hurt my feelings for him. Not going to lie. Because
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 1: it was right there. His touchdown was right there.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: I was going to say, if he was playing right
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 2: before they ran the two-point conversion, and I think I
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: saw a clip where Kentucky had, earlier in the game,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: a tight end taking a direct snap. And that's why
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: that gigantic hole was there for Minchie to run in
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: for the two-point conversion because they ran a play earlier
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: in the game. But anyway, long story. Yeah, I mean... Trell,
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: on his return date....
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: Does not have one.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 2: He does not have one. If he plays at all,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: I would say, like, let's go with one of the
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: last two games of the season. Like A & M
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: or Missouri. Like, that's expectations to see him not there.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: That's where my expectations rely right now, just to, you know,
• 1:14:55
  Speaker 2: take it off. Van Dorslier, he's been a little banged up.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: So him back to the probable, that's good because... He
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: needs to get back out there because I think he
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: plays a giant part in our offense next year.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 1: He does. He's critical for next year. Him and Trede
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: are probably your starting tight ends with Seneca Driver rotating
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: with them as well. So Fred Hinton is a lineman
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: that transferred in. I think he transferred from Western Kentucky.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: He's a tackle that transferred in. So yeah. I don't
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: know what's going on with X-Rob to be honest. Someone
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: in the chat said they think he's quietly quitting. I
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: don't know. I have no clue what's going on with X-Rob.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, hey, man, good luck.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah. He just, I mean, he can't be on the
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: field healthy. And I would rather a situation happen to
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 2: where you've got a pretty good group of guys that
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: I'd rather run DeSeth and Walker out there than Xavier
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: Robinson at this point just because Xavier's shown the propensity
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: to make the oops play, too, on top of everything,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: whether that's dropping a wide-open pass against Alabama or missing blocks,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: not running in the right holes and lanes. You might
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 2: as well give it to a freshman instead of a
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: guy that's on his third year and can't stay in
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: consecutive games, and that sucks because he's an Oklahoma kid,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: and I'd love a story where you know, he ran
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 2: for a thousand yards this year. I think a lot
• 1:16:25
  Speaker 2: of us had high expectations with Xavier, but you got
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: to be on the field to do it. And so
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: if it's a situation where they're saying, let's just sit
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: you until you are all the way healed. And then
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 2: we'll go from there. And, you know, maybe that's pushing
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: him out. Maybe that's a mutual agreement. Like, Hey, let's
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 2: just get to the end of the year. And then maybe,
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 2: you know, a new environment is going to be good
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 2: for you. But yeah, Every single one of us OU
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: fans know that he did ball out on several occasions,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: and it sucks. Seeing him leave is kind of like
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: seeing Gavin Sawchuck or Trey Sermon leave.
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: Gavin Sawchuck is still, I think he's at Northwestern now?
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Yes, he's up there with Kobe.
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 1: So I could see X-Rob going to Penn State, probably,
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: because he's going to end up at Iowa State anyway, so.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: I can see him up there with Matt Campbell in them.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 1: That would be a good place for him. Besides, say, close,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: he could end up at, like, Baylor or.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 2: He could be a good spot back for the kid
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: down there at Oklahoma State, too.
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. But I... Yeah. I think the only ones
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: that really jump out to me is Fasusi and Eli
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: Bowen at this point. The rest, one of them, but
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: we'll be all right. We've been fine without. Heath has
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: played great hurt. He played his best game injured, so
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: obviously he does well.
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: Heath plays really good in these types of games. So
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: that's kind of why I want Heath back out there
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: because these are the types of games to where, you know,
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: you'll go back and you won't remember a lot, but
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: then you'll hear Gabe talk about how Heath Ozita just
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 2: was playing out of his mind. And so that's why
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: I would love to have him back out there because
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: I think that when he gets a good string of
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: snaps underneath his belt, he seems to do really, really
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: well for the next couple games. And unfortunately, that's usually
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: when he gets dinged up again. Yeah.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 1: I am cautious. I am very pessimistic on we'll see
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 1: us ever seeing trail harris again um with that being
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 1: a lacerated liver because of that shot he took against
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 1: michigan like of course we knew he was going to
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 1: be great and he was balling in that game he
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 1: was balling after that hit and it was one of
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 1: those it Later on in the day is when you
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 1: start to see the problems, and that's what happens with
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 1: lacerations to major organs. Luckily, it'll grow back. So it
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 1: does grow back, but, yeah, it's sad.
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 2: And just letting everybody know again, I know I mentioned this,
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 2: but I had the same exact injury when I was
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 2: at OU. We were playing on the North Oval. I
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: was not allowed to go to games for six weeks
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: because– of the rambunctious jumping around and stuff like that.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: Because if he gets hit in a specific way, there's
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: a protective sack around your liver, your kidney, stuff like that.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: And if he gets popped and it starts leaking into
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 2: his bloodstream, it could be fatal. So that's why they're
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: going to play that extremely safe.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: Yep. So don't count on seeing him ever again. We'll
• 1:19:54
  Speaker 1: see him headed to the draft. People have come back
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: from it. I mean, heck, who was it? Andrew Luck
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 1: had a lacerated kidney. Yeah. And still played and then
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: came back. He may be able to get a medical
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: red shirt. I would totally take him back on a
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: medical red shirt. You're darn right I would. But yeah, no,
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 1: as everybody keeps asking, there's nothing on X-Rock. No one
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 1: has said, I haven't seen anything on Xavier Robinson at all. No.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: Like nothing. So.
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: And it could have been a practice injury. It could
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: have been anything. He's had ankles. He's had shoulders. He's
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: had concussions. I'd love to see him out there. But
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: being out there for out, it seems like that's the
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: plan is you go sit on the side, you take
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 2: care of yourself, and then if you ever get back
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: to playing, then let's get after it.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, haven't heard anything about what it was. I haven't
• 1:21:03
  Speaker 1: seen a listing. Nothing. So I don't think anybody's even
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 1: mentioned it at any of the media days. So in
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: that case, he may have got hurt in practice, which
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: seems to be the thing that happens or whatnot. I'm
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 1: not sure who the linebackers is going to start next
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: year because we don't know who's going to be here
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: next year. They're probably going to portal somebody in to
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: go along with Cole Sullivan and the young guys. We'll
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: have to see what they bring in. They're going to
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 1: want some experience because the linebacker room is too young.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 2: It's very young. It's very young. You're going to have
• 1:21:41
  Speaker 2: Curry coming back, and that's why it sucks that he
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 2: got hurt this year because he was catching everybody's eye.
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 2: But he'll be coming back, and as of right now,
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 2: if you have Cole Sullivan, that would be the extent
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: of your experience. And then you would have probably– Or
• 1:22:02
  Speaker 2: you get Nesta, Heim.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 1: Nesta, Heim. Heim could come back, but Heim would be
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 1: a cheater. Sammy O doesn't have eligibility left. No.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 2: And Sammy O, he is doing well in run support
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: up in– over there at UCLA. He's gotten got in
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 2: the pass protection, in the pass routes a few times.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 2: And that was the biggest issue that we saw with
• 1:22:29
  Speaker 2: him while he was here.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. He's been doing really good at UCLA, so he's
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 1: going to end up getting drafted.
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 2: I bet he's all-conference. I bet he's all-conference.
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. He'll be all-conference. Owen's gone. Yeah. He's not
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: going to be able to come back. There's no argument
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: to bring him back. We will be grabbing more linebackers. Like,
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: you'll have Nesta, Marcus, James, Heim coming back. And Heim
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: looks good. He's been walking around. Yeah. which I think
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 1: he's listed on this injury report because I think they're
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 1: going to try to get him back later in the season. Yeah.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: And if that's the case, one, that'd be huge too. Uh,
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: we just got to keep winning to be able to
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 1: make it worth him coming back. Then you have Bathurst
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: more who also got hurt with Curry. They're both done
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: until next season. And so you'll have some good battles there.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: They brought in a whole bunch of linebackers for a reason,
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 1: but I think that I want to see Bathurst play more.
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I would like to see Bathurst.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: But we'll see. The DB room is going to be good.
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: CG4 and Tristan Haynes with probably a steel sprinkler Eli.
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of stuff. We'll talk about next
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: season later. Right now, Kentucky. We got to beat Kentucky
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: and go for it. And we should be good to go.
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah. All right.
• 1:23:58
