Transcript

- 0:11Speaker 1: the Sooner or Later Sports Show. An unfair sports production
- 0:14Speaker 1: presented by Prize Pigs. That's Coop. I'm your boy, Jay.

- 0:32Speaker 1: So on today's episode, we got a lot of fun
- 0:34Speaker 1: stuff to talk about. We're going to dive into what
- 0:37Speaker 1: the Sooners need to do if they want to compete. Because,
- 0:39Speaker 1: you know, we kind of got to find a way
- 0:42Speaker 1: to compete. We're also going to talk about injury reports.
- 0:46Speaker 1: We know that the injury update does show up today.
- 0:50Speaker 1: We'll dive into that later on in the show. So
- 0:52Speaker 1: stick around around seven o'clock. We'll pop it up on
- 0:56Speaker 1: the screen and talk about what the initial injury report shows.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Shout out to our partners there at PrizePix. New users

- 1:08Speaker 1: take advantage of the promotion over there at PrizePix, America's
- 1:13Speaker 1: number one sports pick application. Coop! Yeah, I know it's
- 1:17Speaker 1: been a sad few weeks, but how are you doing,
- 1:20Speaker 1: my man?
- 1:23Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm good.
- 1:24Speaker 3: I can't... I have no idea what's about to happen. Therefore,
- 1:28Speaker 3: I will say I'm good.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Well, that's always a plus, because that's exactly how I feel.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I have zero clue what the hell's about to happen
- 1:35Speaker 1: in this game. Hank, what's going on? I love your optimism, Hank.
- 1:38Speaker 1: Not gonna lie. I'm gonna love it. And... Whoa! God... Kai,
- 1:45Speaker 1: you took the plus 14? Boomer? See, I love that.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Because I will do the same if I have the
- 1:51Speaker 1: opportunity to go do that. I'm going to take advantage
- 1:53Speaker 1: of it. I'm going to take the plus 14. Because
- 1:56Speaker 1: I truly do believe, I actually was talking to the
- 1:58Speaker 1: locked on Bulldogs guy for Georgia, and he had me
- 2:02Speaker 1: cracking up because what he kept telling me was, he
- 2:05Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I get everybody down in Oklahoma on
- 2:09Speaker 1: the offense, blah, blah, blah. He's like, I'm not stupid.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend like the defense at Oklahoma
- 2:17Speaker 1: can't find a way to figure something out. And he
- 2:20Speaker 1: says that more so of, look at what they did
- 2:22Speaker 1: last year. Tennessee on the road, Alabama on the road.
- 2:27Speaker 1: They figured something out. It's going to be a challenge.
- 2:31Speaker 1: And I'm not saying we're going to be able to
- 2:33Speaker 1: do it. I'm not even going to say we're going
- 2:34Speaker 1: to pull it off. But, Coop, I'm going to say,
- 2:37Speaker 1: I don't think it's unrealistic that this team will do
- 2:40Speaker 1: something again like they did last year and make all
- 2:42Speaker 1: of us mad because it's like, why didn't you do
- 2:44Speaker 1: that against Michigan?
- 2:49Speaker 2: That would be.
- 2:52Speaker 3: The most infuriating thing that could happen to, I think,
- 2:57Speaker 3: this fan base, especially those of you all that are
- 3:00Speaker 3: tuned in here, anybody who watches Michigan. the U40, Gabe
- 3:05Speaker 3: and Teddy, you guys who are really down and in
- 3:09Speaker 3: because there's a chunk of our fan base, and I
- 3:12Speaker 3: think it's the larger faction, to where they've just seen
- 3:17Speaker 3: three games. And that's kind of what their point of
- 3:22Speaker 3: reference is. They didn't hear that people were picking us
- 3:27Speaker 3: in the playoffs. They didn't hear, like, it's just, they're like, well,
- 3:30Speaker 3: We lost to Michigan, and we didn't look too good
- 3:32Speaker 3: against New Mexico. And it's just the ignorance is bliss crowd.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Jealous. I'm so jealous of them at this point in time.
- 3:42Speaker 3: But if you could make the Michigan and New Mexico
- 3:47Speaker 3: game more infuriating, they go out and they play like
- 3:52Speaker 3: they did against Bama two years ago against Georgia, and
- 3:55Speaker 3: that would be about right.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I– I want to fight somebody if that happens.
- 4:01Speaker 1: I probably will. I might end up squaring up with
- 4:04Speaker 1: a Georgia fan on accident. But that's literally the thing.
- 4:06Speaker 1: It's the.
- 4:10Speaker 1: They like to do this to make us mad. It's
- 4:12Speaker 1: like they're trying to keep us on our toes. And
- 4:14Speaker 1: I don't understand this. Everything that we're asking for out
- 4:19Speaker 1: of this team is not things that we haven't seen before.
- 4:22Speaker 1: They're all things that we watch them do. And that's
- 4:24Speaker 1: what makes it so infuriating. I'm trying to remind y'all this.
- 4:27Speaker 1: I don't have unreal expectations of this team. My expectations
- 4:30Speaker 1: is they keep doing it. They've done it. And I
- 4:33Speaker 1: just need you to do it again. And it just
- 4:35Speaker 1: makes me mad. Like, really? Y'all just, yeah. But anyway,
- 4:39Speaker 1: let's start off with the potential good news. I guess
- 4:44Speaker 1: you could call it. Is it called good news? Can
- 4:46Speaker 1: we call it good news in this situation? I don't know,
- 4:49Speaker 1: but I guess it sounds like the baby report comes
- 4:54Speaker 1: out at seven. So we'll see the official thing, but it's,
- 4:57Speaker 1: Pete Thamel from ESPN posted that Stone is expected to
- 5:01Speaker 1: be listed as questionable and but still try to play
- 5:04Speaker 1: basically in the game. That is kind of the good
- 5:07Speaker 1: news out of this. Fasusi is at a questionable but
- 5:10Speaker 1: getting leaning more towards a doubtful. But no one has
- 5:15Speaker 1: given us anything real. And I've been seeing people say,
- 5:18Speaker 1: I bet you BB's doing this in a gamesmanship way.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I'm just like, I really hope not.
- 5:28Speaker 3: I mean, I think my expectation for, um, David is
- 5:33Speaker 3: probably that to not play. Um, you know, would it be,
- 5:40Speaker 3: would it be, you know, just very, very, very, you know,
- 5:45Speaker 3: kind of out of left field if this whole thing
- 5:48Speaker 3: was a ruse to basically, uh, you know, get Georgia
- 5:52Speaker 3: overconfident and David Stone never was hurt. Like, um, You know,
- 5:57Speaker 3: I was jokingly kind of throwing that out there the
- 6:00Speaker 3: other night when it happened.
- 6:02Speaker 2: But, yeah, I mean, I don't know.
- 6:05Speaker 3: If what I hear about David is correct, like, it's
- 6:10Speaker 3: going to be a pain tolerance thing. And, you know,
- 6:14Speaker 3: I would just have trouble because, I mean, I felt
- 6:17Speaker 3: like if you saw life in Michigan and in Mexico
- 6:21Speaker 3: and you thought, hey, listen, we can go out there
- 6:23Speaker 3: and win. Like, yeah, like you're going to play them. Now,
- 6:25Speaker 3: BV thinks that they can win. They think that these
- 6:28Speaker 3: are all things. And that's the most infuriating part, I think, Jay,
- 6:31Speaker 3: is what you're saying. That's we're all in this, you know,
- 6:33Speaker 3: completely uneducated sounding, you know, soliloquy here is that we've
- 6:40Speaker 3: seen things in the spring and we've seen things in
- 6:44Speaker 3: fall practice. We've seen things, you know, we saw stuff
- 6:47Speaker 3: against UTEP. And you're going, why can't we do simple things?
- 6:53Speaker 3: Like literally like as if somebody was like, telling us
- 6:56Speaker 3: the wrong plays through a microphone, jacking everything up. This
- 7:01Speaker 3: coaching staff's seen the team do well, and that's where
- 7:05Speaker 3: their faith comes from. But we saw the exact opposite
- 7:09Speaker 3: the past two weeks, and so we as fans go,
- 7:12Speaker 3: I mean, if you want to show me a few
- 7:14Speaker 3: plays to kick off the game, I can hop on
- 7:17Speaker 3: that train. But right now, there's a lot of fans
- 7:19Speaker 3: that they don't have faith. They're just like, let's just
- 7:22Speaker 3: not get blown out by forwarding.
- 7:25Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. If they don't, if they don't show up
- 7:34Speaker 1: with urgency, if this offensive line doesn't show some oomph,
- 7:44Speaker 1: then yeah, 40 is easy. Easy, easy blowout. But it
- 7:50Speaker 1: was like everybody on offense in that last game just
- 7:52Speaker 1: didn't look like they want to be there on offense.
- 7:55Speaker 1: And that's, That's where my concern runs in. Besides that, though,
- 8:00Speaker 1: if Oklahoma finds a way to make an attempt to, like,
- 8:09Speaker 1: pinch somebody, like just pinch them, maybe they can move
- 8:14Speaker 1: the ball forward. Now, this is what I've been told
- 8:17Speaker 1: by Georgia folks. Their biggest challenge is on the defensive line.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It's in between the tackles. If you make it away
- 8:27Speaker 1: in between the tackles, you got a chance. And it's
- 8:30Speaker 1: because their D-line is young. Their linebackers are elite. So
- 8:33Speaker 1: if you go east-west and try to run the sides,
- 8:36Speaker 1: you're screwed. They're going to take you out. You're going
- 8:39Speaker 1: to be caught. So you've got to find between the
- 8:42Speaker 1: tackle runs similar to what we did at the beginning
- 8:45Speaker 1: of the game versus Michigan. I mean, probably two of
- 8:48Speaker 1: the better defenses you're going to face is between Michigan
- 8:50Speaker 1: and Georgia because Georgia's really good. Michigan's a lot better
- 8:52Speaker 1: than people think. They're both veterans in a lot of ways.
- 8:56Speaker 1: And both have younger defensive lines. There are edges. There's
- 9:00Speaker 1: questions there. They're also dealing with injuries like we are.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I think Isaiah Cannon's probably not going to play the
- 9:05Speaker 1: top wide receiver. I think they're missing another wide out.
- 9:09Speaker 2: Frazier has an ankle.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Frazier has an issue in the backfield, so their running
- 9:14Speaker 1: back room is a little bit banged up. They're coming
- 9:17Speaker 1: in this bad boy hobbling too. And that was one
- 9:19Speaker 1: of the things one of my Georgia guys was saying
- 9:21Speaker 1: to me is like, our concern is y'all going to
- 9:24Speaker 1: injure us more. And I'm like, hey, I didn't think
- 9:29Speaker 1: about it that way, but that was something that we
- 9:32Speaker 1: did do on defense to other teams throughout the season
- 9:35Speaker 1: last year. You saw a lot of people leave the
- 9:37Speaker 1: game hurt. And that's one of their concerns. It's our
- 9:41Speaker 1: offense leaving this game more injured than they did coming
- 9:44Speaker 1: into it. But to the point, and everybody's pointing this out,
- 9:47Speaker 1: the offensive line needs to go out there and give
- 9:49Speaker 1: us some more punch. I need them to show up
- 9:52Speaker 1: and I need them to care about protecting John, protecting
- 9:56Speaker 1: the running backs. And I just, somebody needs to figure out.
- 10:00Speaker 1: handing the ball off, getting the running backs in better space.
- 10:03Speaker 1: He'll do these QB counter runs where John is actually
- 10:06Speaker 1: successful at. And then this time, follow your blockers and
- 10:09Speaker 1: get some yards.
- 10:11Speaker 2: It's, you're not out running to the edge.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Like if you gain an advantage and you run a
- 10:17Speaker 3: counter and you, you just all of a sudden see
- 10:19Speaker 3: that somebody bit inside and you want to take it
- 10:22Speaker 3: further outside, that's, that's probably the option, but it is
- 10:27Speaker 3: up the middle. I mean, you, you are not going
- 10:30Speaker 3: to run. You hear no matter how good Oklahoma's defense
- 10:34Speaker 3: or how bad Oklahoma defense is over the past 20 years,
- 10:39Speaker 3: it's a, you know, it's almost a, it's almost gospel that,
- 10:43Speaker 3: When a team runs the outside and gets strung out
- 10:45Speaker 3: for a tackle for loss, you hear the commentator say
- 10:48Speaker 3: something along the lines of, well, this Oklahoma defense is
- 10:51Speaker 3: too fast. You're not going to beat them running laterally. Well,
- 10:55Speaker 3: that's the same thing with Georgia because every single one
- 10:58Speaker 3: of these people were the number one guy on their
- 11:01Speaker 3: high school roster.
- 11:03Speaker 2: This is Georgia. This is the same team.
- 11:05Speaker 3: It's always been they just don't have five stars that are,
- 11:09Speaker 3: you know, number three on the depth chart behind a
- 11:11Speaker 3: guy who's a five-star and then another guy who's a
- 11:13Speaker 3: five-star because of the new NIL stuff. But that first
- 11:17Speaker 3: tier is still really damn good. So, I mean, maybe
- 11:22Speaker 3: this is the easiest, you know, portion is Jason Witten,
- 11:27Speaker 3: Bill Biedenboe all week can say, all right, guys, we
- 11:31Speaker 3: are going to take the ball and we are moving
- 11:34Speaker 3: it this way. The hard part about that, Jay, is
- 11:38Speaker 3: zero respect for John, zero respect for the wide receiver crew.
- 11:43Speaker 3: So if you want this game to have extended drives,
- 11:50Speaker 3: you're going to have to win some kind of 50-50
- 11:53Speaker 3: scenario on the outside at some point.
- 11:59Speaker 1: You got to. You got to win some 50-50s. You
- 12:01Speaker 1: got to. The screen game will be good. get them
- 12:05Speaker 1: going in misdirection, catch them over-pursuing. Like, that is your
- 12:10Speaker 1: keys to success. They're going to over-pursue.
- 12:13Speaker 2: If everybody's running the same play, the screen game.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Would be good. Well, yeah, fair. Fair. If everybody needs
- 12:23Speaker 1: to be actually on the same page, you're right. Okay,
- 12:26Speaker 1: my bad. My bad.
- 12:30Speaker 3: Jay, we should not have to say that.
- 12:34Speaker 2: We shouldn't have to say that. But we have to.
- 12:38Speaker 2: Because we've been seeing them get dissected. So I'm hoping that.
- 12:48Speaker 3: I'm hoping that whatever the offense has done this week,
- 12:51Speaker 3: it has been finding a couple places you feel like
- 12:56Speaker 3: you can really challenge consistently with. And the offense needs
- 13:01Speaker 3: to understand that hey, relieve some pressure off yourself. You
- 13:05Speaker 3: don't have to score 35 to win this game. For
- 13:09Speaker 3: the offense, the goal is we are not having empty possessions.
- 13:13Speaker 3: So your effort is no three and outs. Your effort
- 13:17Speaker 3: is shooting somewhere around 40% to 50% on third down.
- 13:22Speaker 3: It's just keeping the defense from spending 40 minutes on
- 13:27Speaker 3: the field.
- 13:28Speaker 1: Yeah, you want to avoid that. No, 100%. You don't
- 13:33Speaker 1: want a 40-20 ratio on possession. I mean, it was 30-something, 35,
- 13:41Speaker 1: 25 against New Mexico. You got to cut that out.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That can't be it. You do that, these dudes are
- 13:47Speaker 1: going to be gassed. You want to eliminate them being
- 13:50Speaker 1: gassed and that tired. And it is a possibility. There's
- 13:53Speaker 1: ways you can do it. It's just, as mentioned in
- 13:58Speaker 1: the comments, fantastic. Fantastic. Fantastic idea. Spread them out, make
- 14:02Speaker 1: them cover more space and then run in between the
- 14:05Speaker 1: tackles and take advantage of that. That is going to
- 14:07Speaker 1: be key to back sets. Awesome. 12 personnel. I need
- 14:12Speaker 1: my tight ends to care this game. Rocky beers and
- 14:15Speaker 1: Hayden Hanson should be able to be picked on the
- 14:17Speaker 1: flats and make some catches, make those tight, those linebackers
- 14:21Speaker 1: chase you. A lot of that stuff should be available for,
- 14:27Speaker 1: If you scheme it properly. And of course, there's questions
- 14:33Speaker 1: there for Arbuckle. But again, we've seen them do some stuff.
- 14:36Speaker 1: Like we've seen nothing that we're asking for is stuff
- 14:39Speaker 1: that we've never seen. We've seen them execute on this
- 14:43Speaker 1: stuff before. Do it again. But just do it more times.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Do it more than like four times in a game.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Do it like 15 times out of your 60 something plays.
- 14:54Speaker 1: If you do that, there's a chance this game could
- 14:56Speaker 1: be better than we anticipate. But no, I don't. First off,
- 15:00Speaker 1: defense wise, our defense versus their offense. Let's start there.
- 15:04Speaker 1: I think that that is, of course, the main conversation
- 15:06Speaker 1: after we talk about all these injuries and stuff. And
- 15:08Speaker 1: we're waiting to see what we get on this availability report.
- 15:14Speaker 1: their defense i'm sorry our defense versus their offense gunner
- 15:18Speaker 1: stockton is a running machine but he's a lot smaller
- 15:24Speaker 1: than bryce underwood you're not in a situation where you're
- 15:30Speaker 1: dealing with a big big guy that can run and
- 15:33Speaker 1: plow through people he's not josh allen right like But
- 15:40Speaker 1: he's extremely shifty, and he's smart about the way he
- 15:43Speaker 1: does things. He's very smart about that. That is going
- 15:48Speaker 1: to be the key in this defense, keeping this game close,
- 15:51Speaker 1: because I think it's going to be another low-scoring game.
- 15:53Speaker 1: I think we're going to maintain low-scoring games the majority,
- 15:56Speaker 1: if not all, the games this season. I think the
- 15:58Speaker 1: defense just cares that much. Plus, BVNM always put them
- 16:02Speaker 1: in the right position. What they're going to need to is...
- 16:08Speaker 1: make sure that he doesn't break loose on scrambles. And
- 16:11Speaker 1: that's where angles are going to be critical for the linebackers,
- 16:16Speaker 1: or you're going to be playing a lot of Reggie powers. Um,
- 16:21Speaker 1: you're going to throw a lot of three safety sets
- 16:23Speaker 1: out there. Um, You may need to, you know, if
- 16:28Speaker 1: Bogonowski's back, you're going to probably need him and RP3
- 16:32Speaker 1: chasing not only tight ends, but keeping an eye on Gunner.
- 16:37Speaker 1: You may need a spy that watches out for crossing
- 16:42Speaker 1: passes or flats and also eats up space from Gunner
- 16:46Speaker 1: because he's going to scramble. He's going to run, especially
- 16:48Speaker 1: if Nate Frazier's hurt. He didn't play the second half
- 16:53Speaker 1: of Arkansas. He's banged up. And they're not happy. They're concerned.
- 16:59Speaker 1: I mean, there's no reason to ever be happy about
- 17:01Speaker 1: a running back, any of your players being hurt. But
- 17:02Speaker 1: they're concerned. So, in that case, take advantage of that.
- 17:07Speaker 1: You go after them. You make them uncomfortable. And that's
- 17:16Speaker 1: going to be a real challenge, though.
- 17:18Speaker 3: And, yeah, I mean, Gunnar Stockton's about five pounds lighter
- 17:21Speaker 3: than me. 6'1, 215. So he's going to be, I mean,
- 17:29Speaker 3: he's not a giant.
- 17:30Speaker 2: So there's that.
- 17:31Speaker 3: I think the biggest is keeping him from scrambling and
- 17:37Speaker 3: just completely, you know, pulling, you know, victory out of
- 17:41Speaker 3: defeat because of, you know, over pursuing on the edges,
- 17:48Speaker 3: you know, collapsing too hard on any of these RPOs.
- 17:52Speaker 3: Those are the things that I really I think that's
- 17:55Speaker 3: where the game is really going to lay in the
- 17:58Speaker 3: balance with their offense versus our defense. I think no
- 18:02Speaker 3: matter what happens, if Frazier's healthy or not healthy, I
- 18:06Speaker 3: think that the running game is going to have a
- 18:07Speaker 3: hard time really developing a lot of consistency from the
- 18:11Speaker 3: running back perspective. I think that Stockton mixing it in
- 18:15Speaker 3: there and pulling the ball and going around the edge
- 18:20Speaker 3: is a big deal. Also, getting too far upfield. we'll
- 18:25Speaker 3: see quite a bit of it to where whoever the
- 18:27Speaker 3: defensive tackles end up being, those guys need to continue
- 18:31Speaker 3: to have their heads, their eyes looking at Gunner. And
- 18:35Speaker 3: if he cocks to throw, getting your hands up in
- 18:38Speaker 3: the passing lanes, creating a tip ball. But it's imperative
- 18:42Speaker 3: for the collection of defensive ends on this team not
- 18:46Speaker 3: to get too deep. Because if Gunner does drop back
- 18:49Speaker 3: in to like a five-step drop, he's doing that to
- 18:54Speaker 3: look to see just in case something's open and then
- 18:58Speaker 3: he's going to take off.
- 18:59Speaker 2: They also have great tight ends.
- 19:01Speaker 3: And so he's going to probably look, does my guy
- 19:05Speaker 3: have a step and I'm going to just allow it
- 19:07Speaker 3: to go. I'm going to throw it deep or it's
- 19:11Speaker 3: going to be tight ends who are running curls and crosses.
- 19:15Speaker 3: And we have to do it because if we have
- 19:17Speaker 3: those jammed up and we over pursue at the edges
- 19:21Speaker 3: and he's able to, step up, step out and go forward.
- 19:25Speaker 2: It's going to be backbreaking. Like it was against Chambliss
- 19:28Speaker 2: last year.
- 19:30Speaker 1: And that's the last thing that you want to deal with.
- 19:32Speaker 1: It's kind of funny. So far this season, Gunnar Stockton's
- 19:38Speaker 1: thrown for 583, but he's also hasn't played a whole
- 19:41Speaker 1: bunch of games, but he's 84 completion percentage, which is
- 19:43Speaker 1: of course insane. Nine touchdowns, no picks. They've played like
- 19:47Speaker 1: four quarterbacks so far this season because they've afforded it
- 19:50Speaker 1: with some of the blowouts they had. They've ran for
- 19:53Speaker 1: 700 yards and they've got a lot of running backs
- 19:56Speaker 1: that have taken opportunities with at least three or more
- 20:00Speaker 1: carries this season, which is even more crazy. Nate Frazier,
- 20:06Speaker 1: 200 yards, but Gunner's right behind him at a hundred yards.
- 20:10Speaker 1: So 300 of their 700 yards is from two guys.
- 20:13Speaker 1: And of course, Chauncey Bowen, 67 yards, Nick Peel, 55 yards.
- 20:20Speaker 1: They got other guys that they're going to be trying
- 20:22Speaker 1: to leverage. But they they're going to they're going to
- 20:27Speaker 1: be mixing it up because if Nate's down, it's going
- 20:31Speaker 1: to be Bowens and it's going to be Peel. And
- 20:33Speaker 1: so you got two backs that younger, you may have
- 20:36Speaker 1: a chance of causing problems. Biggest thing too is turnovers.
- 20:42Speaker 1: One of my buddies is like, we expect a minimum
- 20:44Speaker 1: of two sacks by y'all. Even Kirby Smart said it.
- 20:47Speaker 1: They lead every year in sacks. They're in the tops
- 20:50Speaker 1: in sacks. They're always in the tops of tackles for loss.
- 20:52Speaker 1: And I always call that the BV stat. That's the
- 20:55Speaker 1: one thing this team always will do is find a
- 20:57Speaker 1: way to get in the backfield and get tackles for
- 21:00Speaker 1: loss because they're always put in the right position. You
- 21:03Speaker 1: do that enough and keep them in second and third
- 21:08Speaker 1: and long, you have a chance of forcing them to
- 21:13Speaker 1: make plays at places they don't want to. But you
- 21:15Speaker 1: mentioned it right, Coop. Tight ends is going to be
- 21:19Speaker 1: a big deal for Georgia going into this game. They
- 21:22Speaker 1: got another one. They can't keep getting away with this.
- 21:27Speaker 1: How do they keep getting in them?
- 21:29Speaker 2: Well, I mean, lost and lucky is, is the number
- 21:33Speaker 2: one guy. He's got four catches. Um, he's, he's not whenever, like,
- 21:39Speaker 2: I mean, who, I can't remember.
- 21:41Speaker 3: There was one point early in the season where they were, uh,
- 21:46Speaker 3: was it, maybe it was way against the way in,
- 21:48Speaker 3: in the Western Kentucky game.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Like they really hadn't just opened it up yet.
- 21:53Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden, uh, you know, announcer
- 21:56Speaker 3: says tight ends, they throw it to the tight end. So,
- 21:59Speaker 3: None of these guys have really– maybe this is a
- 22:01Speaker 3: situation kind of like we're used to watching with the
- 22:04Speaker 3: Thunder and SGA. Like you don't play any fourth quarters,
- 22:08Speaker 3: then all of a sudden you're requested to play a
- 22:09Speaker 3: fourth quarter and you're kind of confused like how's it
- 22:12Speaker 3: going to go. Gunnar Stockton has not sat in and
- 22:15Speaker 3: taken an entire game's beating worth of play yet because
- 22:20Speaker 3: he played Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, Arkansas. So what are
- 22:25Speaker 3: a couple of these hard hits on defense going to
- 22:27Speaker 3: look like You know, when, you know, a guy like
- 22:30Speaker 3: Frazier takes a hit, a Stockton takes a hit. I mean,
- 22:33Speaker 3: they did it a lot last year, but this is
- 22:35Speaker 3: their first big boy game. But, yeah, no, I would
- 22:39Speaker 3: say the tight ends, they've got a lot of guys
- 22:41Speaker 3: that are going to be running out there. They're going
- 22:43Speaker 3: to play a lot of, you know, two tight ends,
- 22:45Speaker 3: three tight ends. And everybody's– there's not like a dude
- 22:50Speaker 3: that you're going to follow on wide receiver or tight
- 22:52Speaker 3: end-wise that has the bulk of their receptions.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Everybody's kind of spread out. I think one guy's got
- 22:58Speaker 2: two receiving touchdowns, and there's about seven other people who
- 23:01Speaker 2: have one touchdown. So you just hit hard.
- 23:08Speaker 3: Business decisions, that's what I would say with the tight ends. Yes,
- 23:12Speaker 3: they love to block, but you get earholed once by
- 23:16Speaker 3: a Reggie Powers or a linebacker coming back the other way.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Maybe something... starts kind of rattling around, and you're like,
- 23:26Speaker 2: that wasn't very fun.
- 23:28Speaker 1: Yeah, now you want them to feel it in this game,
- 23:31Speaker 1: and that is going to be the most important thing.
- 23:33Speaker 1: They've got four tight ends that have made at least
- 23:37Speaker 1: three catches this season, so they've got options. But like
- 23:41Speaker 1: you said, that is the difference. They have not had
- 23:43Speaker 1: to play a full game. There's no reason to play
- 23:45Speaker 1: a full game. Why would you do that? You're destroying
- 23:48Speaker 1: every team by halftime. And Kirby actually showed that he
- 23:53Speaker 1: cared about which is really crazy to me. He cared
- 23:59Speaker 1: about spreads. Those non-cons, he destroyed teams. It's like, oh,
- 24:04Speaker 1: that's not something that you're used to with them because
- 24:07Speaker 1: that's not something that they've really done in the past.
- 24:08Speaker 1: They haven't really ever blown out. They rarely cover the spread.
- 24:14Speaker 1: That was always the running joke is that, oh, don't
- 24:18Speaker 1: worry about it. Georgia's not going to cover the spread
- 24:20Speaker 1: against these terrible teams. these terrible teams. He's just going
- 24:26Speaker 1: to do what he needs to do to win. He
- 24:27Speaker 1: doesn't care about all that stuff. His goal is to
- 24:29Speaker 1: win the game and move forward. And so you're like, oh, okay,
- 24:33Speaker 1: they're never going to do that. But then they did
- 24:34Speaker 1: it this one. Okay. Well, there's a possibility that this
- 24:36Speaker 1: could be a little bit different type team. I don't know.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I don't know how much I trust on that, but yeah,
- 24:44Speaker 1: it makes sense. You know what I mean? Like the, the,
- 24:48Speaker 1: the question has been though, uh, Georgia's offense is not
- 24:53Speaker 1: doing as many explosive plays as the fans would like.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Do we truly see that as a concern? Right, exactly, fans.
- 25:03Speaker 3: I look at 61, 70, 54. These are receptions. And
- 25:09Speaker 3: then a 70, a 62 rushing, and a 48.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Doing a little bit better than we have. So pipe
- 25:16Speaker 2: down there, Georgia fan. Pipe down. Maybe you should boo them,
- 25:19Speaker 2: Georgia fan.
- 25:20Speaker 1: Boo this man.
- 25:21Speaker 3: Boo.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead and do that. Hurt your own teammate,
- 25:25Speaker 1: your own players' feelings. Let's do that. But slow play,
- 25:29Speaker 1: strong defense to me on them. If you can just
- 25:32Speaker 1: get them, you got to get them off the field.
- 25:35Speaker 1: Challenge for us, more so than anything, is on the
- 25:37Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball, is can these fools stay
- 25:41Speaker 1: on the field? That is tough. Let's talk about the
- 25:47Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball because I guess we kind
- 25:49Speaker 1: of have to. We'll hear from our people over there
- 25:54Speaker 1: at FanDuel. I mean, at PrizePix.
- 25:58Speaker 2: PrizePix.
- 25:58Speaker 1: Before we continue, shout out to our partners here at PrizePix,

- 26:12Speaker 1: in WNBA action. Angel Reese, she's been putting in work.
- 26:17Speaker 1: I know she's been putting in work. And so people
- 26:19Speaker 1: are taking advantage of the numbers. She got her and Stewie,
- 26:22Speaker 1: but we're going to look at some NFL action on
- 26:24Speaker 1: Thursday night ball. Give me some Bijan. Josh. No, but
- 26:31Speaker 1: I will take Jordan Love putting up some numbers against
- 26:33Speaker 1: those Falcons. I think the Falcons have been putting up,
- 26:34Speaker 1: giving up a lot of points, a lot of yards
- 26:36Speaker 1: this year. We'll say Jordan Love has been up and down.
- 26:39Speaker 1: He didn't do too well against the Jets, but I
- 26:41Speaker 1: think he'll be able to bounce back in his game
- 26:43Speaker 1: against the Falcons. Uh, Jake JSN has been a beast.
- 26:50Speaker 1: Just ridiculous. And Josh Allen, he gets the clip. See,
- 26:53Speaker 1: the Chargers are dealing with.
- 26:57Speaker 1: No, that's the Giants. They're dealing with a quarterback situation.
- 27:00Speaker 1: But hey, we'll take advantage of Josh Allen going out
- 27:03Speaker 1: there and cooking the Chargers. Pick two or more players.
- 27:05Speaker 1: Pick more or less on the stats. And you're in there.

- 27:29Speaker 1: So we kind of got to talk about the offense.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Kind of talk about the offense. Look, man, I had
- 27:37Speaker 1: said this on Sunday a little bit, but Coop, hear
- 27:42Speaker 1: me out. We all are kind of on the edge
- 27:49Speaker 1: in the end when it comes to our boy, Mr. Mateer.
- 27:52Speaker 1: Unfortunate for him because I know he loves Oklahoma. I
- 27:56Speaker 1: know he enjoys being in Oklahoma. Oklahoma's his favorite place.
- 28:00Speaker 1: This is that another, right? But the interesting thing about
- 28:07Speaker 1: him going into this game to me is What if
- 28:18Speaker 1: when John gets out there and these Georgia boys just
- 28:25Speaker 1: line up and they go head to head straight up
- 28:29Speaker 1: and they just battle him straight up and he looks
- 28:37Speaker 1: at them and says, oh, this reminds me of spring ball.
- 28:43Speaker 1: This reminds me of fall ball. Except for these people
- 28:46Speaker 1: will hit me. They don't two hand touch. But he
- 28:50Speaker 1: starts to feel confidence in seeing the same thing that
- 28:54Speaker 1: they've seen in practice all the time. What if the
- 28:57Speaker 1: offensive line feels the same way? Could that mean this
- 29:00Speaker 1: game could be a lot more competitive than people think?
- 29:03Speaker 1: That is kind of what I'm feeling like. He's been
- 29:06Speaker 1: seeing an elite defense two years in a row. Georgia
- 29:09Speaker 1: is an elite defense. If they go out there and
- 29:12Speaker 1: just say, you know, we're just going to beat you
- 29:13Speaker 1: straight up. We're not going to really get too fancy.
- 29:15Speaker 1: And he feels like he's in practice. Maybe he performs
- 29:20Speaker 1: better than he normally does. Because practices have still been
- 29:23Speaker 1: back and forth. Defense win, offense win. Defense win, offense win.
- 29:29Speaker 1: That could be a better scenario for us. Am I crazy?
- 29:37Speaker 3: Oh.
- 29:40Speaker 2: I see what you're saying.
- 29:44Speaker 3: And i i really really wish that i on the
- 29:48Speaker 3: offensive side of the ball the creativity to think that way.
- 29:53Speaker 2: Hey just just pretend.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Somebody's got your creative around here dang.
- 29:56Speaker 2: It right hey listen you're correct um Yeah, I mean, listen,
- 30:04Speaker 2: John is.
- 30:07Speaker 2: Everything is against him. Everything, right?
- 30:12Speaker 3: You may say that against Michigan and New Mexico, a
- 30:16Speaker 3: lot of people on the offensive side of the ball,
- 30:18Speaker 3: for some.
- 30:20Speaker 2: Unknown reason, thought, we can just show up and whoop them.
- 30:27Speaker 2: They're not thinking that this week.
- 30:30Speaker 3: And so they're... There are now three times I think
- 30:33Speaker 3: that in my fandom of OU football that I've thought
- 30:42Speaker 3: we're just going to get beat.
- 30:44Speaker 2: I mean, it's fun. The Bama Sugar Bowl.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Buddy, I don't think a single Sooner fan thought there
- 30:54Speaker 1: was any chance. That was when Bama was in their
- 30:56Speaker 1: real run. They somehow got knocked off, and they were like, oh,
- 30:59Speaker 1: there's zero chance that Oklahoma has a chance in this game.
- 31:02Speaker 3: I think I was almost every single game that season
- 31:06Speaker 3: for OU.
- 31:08Speaker 2: That was a fun year for me.
- 31:10Speaker 3: And I literally was just like, I don't even know
- 31:13Speaker 3: if I want to watch this game. The Bama-Jackson-Arnold game,
- 31:17Speaker 3: and then this one. Now, there's a common theme there.
- 31:21Speaker 3: The games I don't think that we have a chance
- 31:23Speaker 3: of winning, we.
- 31:26Speaker 2: Somehow do something.
- 31:29Speaker 3: So... I bring that up because I think that on offense,
- 31:33Speaker 3: you need to get everybody on the same damn page. And, Jay,
- 31:38Speaker 3: I'm talking about the coaching staff very first and foremost.
- 31:42Speaker 3: I have a lot of respect for this coaching staff.
- 31:45Speaker 3: There's nobody on this coaching staff that I hate. There
- 31:48Speaker 3: are people that.
- 31:49Speaker 2: I wish would have done more and shown more to
- 31:51Speaker 2: this point, but there's nobody that I hate.
- 31:53Speaker 3: This is a good group of people, but it literally–
- 31:58Speaker 3: On a couple of different plays, if you would have
- 32:01Speaker 3: told me that the receivers came up with a new
- 32:06Speaker 3: way to call plays and it just went sideways, the
- 32:09Speaker 3: running backs did the same thing, the tight end, the
- 32:11Speaker 3: offensive line, and the quarterback, or somebody was punking the
- 32:16Speaker 3: OU football team and calling in fake plays over the comms,
- 32:19Speaker 3: I would have been like, that makes a lot of sense.
- 32:22Speaker 3: So you need to come together as a coaching staff
- 32:24Speaker 3: and make sure that everybody's on the same page. hey,
- 32:27Speaker 3: in this situation, what are we doing? In this situation,
- 32:29Speaker 3: what are we doing? Now, from a player standpoint, same situation. Like,
- 32:34Speaker 3: we got to make sure that offensive linemen are doing
- 32:37Speaker 3: what they're supposed to be doing. You're not assuming a win,
- 32:42Speaker 3: that you are grinding as hard as you can. There
- 32:44Speaker 3: was a play where I saw Jake Michaela, and I
- 32:47Speaker 3: think that I'm going to say that Brooks or Tangwell,
- 32:51Speaker 3: one of those two guys commented on it, that there
- 32:54Speaker 3: was a play to where Mykola had a chip and
- 32:58Speaker 3: then had a guy out in front of him, and
- 33:00Speaker 3: they kind of just tangoed a little bit. If I'm Mykola,
- 33:04Speaker 3: I want to see you try to take that person's
- 33:07Speaker 3: soul away. I want you to attack that person and
- 33:10Speaker 3: not wait for.
- 33:11Speaker 2: Them to come.
- 33:12Speaker 3: I don't know if in sports, if you are waiting
- 33:18Speaker 3: for somebody to really take the first, just fully.
- 33:22Speaker 2: truly.
- 33:23Speaker 3: Waiting for the other person to make their move before
- 33:25Speaker 3: you decide what to do, that's typically not a good idea.
- 33:29Speaker 3: So I want you to dictate if you're going to,
- 33:31Speaker 3: if you're EPL, if you're Michael, if you're whoever you are,
- 33:34Speaker 3: if you are going to, if you give me 100%
- 33:37Speaker 3: and you sell out for a block, for anything, and
- 33:43Speaker 3: you whiff, I'm okay.
- 33:45Speaker 2: I'm okay with that in this game. What I'm not
- 33:48Speaker 2: okay with is you second-guessing and then giving me a
- 33:52Speaker 2: 30% piss poor effort and reaching out like you're slapping
- 33:56Speaker 2: somebody with your purse on the way by. I don't
- 33:58Speaker 2: want to see that.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Get on. Get on. No, you're right. The effort's got
- 34:03Speaker 1: to be there. BV even said it in his presser.
- 34:07Speaker 1: I haven't got a chance to really cut it up
- 34:09Speaker 1: and drop some content on it. I'll do that tomorrow.
- 34:12Speaker 1: But he said it. He said it in his that
- 34:16Speaker 1: they'd step up. He basically confirmed what everybody was thinking
- 34:19Speaker 1: out there. Hey, we need the offense to step up,
- 34:23Speaker 1: and we need a better offensive game plan. He was
- 34:26Speaker 1: on fire in that presser, dog. He's obviously fed up,
- 34:33Speaker 1: and it's 100% unfortunate for him that he just keeps
- 34:36Speaker 1: being on the bad side of offensive coordinators. The other
- 34:39Speaker 1: thing you got to remember is that unless you hire...
- 34:46Speaker 1: A offensive minded coach, a defensive minded and focused coach
- 34:53Speaker 1: will go through offensive coordinators because offensive minded guys are
- 34:57Speaker 1: typically the first ones to get head coaching jobs. Defensive guys,
- 35:04Speaker 1: so you bring in the defensive dude and you give
- 35:07Speaker 1: them that side of the ball and hope that they
- 35:09Speaker 1: work their magic. No matter what BV was going to do,
- 35:14Speaker 1: no matter what BV was going to put together, no
- 35:16Speaker 1: matter the work that BV, honestly, on offense, you're going
- 35:20Speaker 1: to have two situations. Either you're firing coaches like Latrell
- 35:23Speaker 1: and possibly looks like Ben Arbuckle, or your offensive coordinator
- 35:26Speaker 1: is getting poached within two years. If the numbers are
- 35:29Speaker 1: put up, just get used to BV going through offensive coordinators.
- 35:34Speaker 1: We're just hoping now that it's not him going through
- 35:36Speaker 1: them because they're getting fired. I would prefer him going
- 35:39Speaker 1: through them because they're getting hired to new jobs. But
- 35:42Speaker 1: that's going to happen going forward. These OCs are going
- 35:45Speaker 1: to be gone. And if BV's gone, if they hire
- 35:49Speaker 1: another coach, if they do another defensive-minded coach, it's going
- 35:52Speaker 1: to be the exact same thing. They're going to keep
- 35:54Speaker 1: running through coaches. They're going to keep running through offensive
- 35:56Speaker 1: coordinators no matter what. Unless you hire an offensive guy
- 35:59Speaker 1: and he gets a defensive dude that just only wants
- 36:01Speaker 1: to coach defense. That's the hardest. I mean, good luck
- 36:07Speaker 1: on that. I mean, like I said, Kirby Smart was
- 36:09Speaker 1: Would save him for nine years, but when the job
- 36:11Speaker 1: he wanted came open, he bounced. Now, I don't know
- 36:15Speaker 1: if y'all knew this, but Kirby Smart, he's been there, what,
- 36:18Speaker 1: seven years now? Eight years? Is it eight years now,
- 36:23Speaker 1: or is it nine?
- 36:24Speaker 2: I want to say it's longer than that.
- 36:26Speaker 1: I think it's nine years. In his nine years there,
- 36:28Speaker 1: he's gone through four different OCs. He's had to go
- 36:36Speaker 1: through them. Let me see, because I know he started
- 36:44Speaker 1: with Chaney. He left.
- 36:49Speaker 2: 16, so yeah, this is 10 years.
- 36:51Speaker 1: Yeah, going on 10 years. Yep, it's going on 10 years.
- 36:54Speaker 1: So in this entire time, he's gone through multiple OCs.
- 36:58Speaker 1: Bobo's been the last three years. And Bobo comes over
- 37:03Speaker 1: after being, I think he's an interim head coach, and
- 37:05Speaker 1: he's done the head coach thing, but he's a Georgia guy.
- 37:08Speaker 1: And he decided, I don't want to do the head
- 37:10Speaker 1: coach thing no more. I'm loyal to Georgia. Y'all lose
- 37:14Speaker 1: your mind if he went and hired another Oklahoma guy.
- 37:17Speaker 1: Because I would too. But before him, you had Munkin
- 37:20Speaker 1: for two years who won the Natties. Then Munkin bounced.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Before him, Cooley had the job for one season. And
- 37:27Speaker 1: Cooley is still on the job there. He's still a
- 37:30Speaker 1: coach there at Georgia. They demoted him and got Todd Munkin. Right?
- 37:34Speaker 2: Right.
- 37:35Speaker 1: So, yeah. So six years with two dudes, two years
- 37:40Speaker 1: with Munkin, you got Coley and this is the fourth
- 37:42Speaker 1: year now for Bobo. They went through a lot of
- 37:45Speaker 1: OCs too. In the beginning. Now he's settled. He ain't
- 37:50Speaker 1: got to worry about that no more. He good. Like,
- 37:52Speaker 1: like Coley had it for one season and he freaking said, nah,
- 37:57Speaker 1: we good. Give me Todd Munkin. And that was the
- 37:59Speaker 1: COVID year. He said one year. I'm good. Move to
- 38:06Speaker 1: a new guy. But Bobo ain't going nowhere. Bobo's not
- 38:11Speaker 1: leaving Georgia. He's a Georgia guy. He's not leaving Georgia.
- 38:15Speaker 1: And Kirby's not going to let him leave if he
- 38:16Speaker 1: can control it. But he also may cut him.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Bobo is the Oklahoma equivalent to Chuck Long. There you go.
- 38:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 38:29Speaker 2: So if you're too young to understand the feelings I
- 38:34Speaker 2: will say this, too. The only offensive coordinator that I
- 38:39Speaker 2: can remember OU fans liking ever was Lincoln Riley. Yeah.
- 38:49Speaker 2: And he went a little Batman.
- 38:53Speaker 3: You know, the quote, you either die a hero or
- 38:55Speaker 3: live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
- 38:57Speaker 2: Like, that's the only OC that we've ever.
- 39:02Speaker 3: Nobody's ever been like, fire this dude. Now, I will
- 39:05Speaker 3: say I started calling us Texas Tech North the last
- 39:09Speaker 3: couple years that Riley was here because it started looking soft.
- 39:16Speaker 2: But, Jay, I think on offense, I mean, what you
- 39:21Speaker 2: have to see is you.
- 39:24Speaker 3: Have to have a couple plays to where Georgia may
- 39:28Speaker 3: know what's coming. and you may know that they know
- 39:32Speaker 3: what's coming, and you just.
- 39:33Speaker 2: Have to win.
- 39:36Speaker 3: It's the third and short, fourth and short, whatever it is. Like,
- 39:41Speaker 3: you have to put it on yourself each play. I'm
- 39:45Speaker 3: not the reason this thing's dying.
- 39:48Speaker 1: Yeah. Where.
- 39:50Speaker 3: A couple of games versus Michigan and New Mexico, it was,
- 39:53Speaker 3: which one of you sons of you-know-whats are going to
- 39:56Speaker 3: win your battle?
- 39:58Speaker 2: We need to see that mentality out of this team.
- 40:03Speaker 3: And, you know, Gabe had said, you know, I think
- 40:05Speaker 3: Gabe said it during one of the pods, maybe the
- 40:08Speaker 3: breakdown after the New Mexico game.
- 40:12Speaker 2: Like, as a coach, you don't ever want to.
- 40:16Speaker 3: I'm sorry, as a player, you don't ever want to
- 40:19Speaker 3: be the reason why a dude loses his job. Like,
- 40:23Speaker 3: that's an awkward conversation, and that's an awkward feeling, knowing
- 40:27Speaker 3: that my play and my position group couldn't get it done,
- 40:32Speaker 3: and so now some dude has got a cardboard box
- 40:35Speaker 3: heading towards his truck. Like, that's the feeling that these
- 40:39Speaker 3: guys have to have, you know, this week.
- 40:42Speaker 1: Going for it, yeah. You have to feel like I'm
- 40:46Speaker 1: responsible or I care. I'm hoping they care. That is
- 40:52Speaker 1: what we are all hoping for, is that they care.
- 40:55Speaker 1: And if they care, then guess what? We should be
- 41:02Speaker 1: able to be competitive. I don't want them to go
- 41:03Speaker 1: pinch them. I want Georgia to feel this. I want
- 41:06Speaker 1: it to be a low-scoring game. I want it to...
- 41:09Speaker 1: I want it to be like the Michigan game. I
- 41:11Speaker 1: really want us to just push them to the limit
- 41:13Speaker 1: to where Georgia's just like not happy and playing against us.
- 41:19Speaker 1: I want Kirby Smart to be right. Because Kirby basically said,
- 41:25Speaker 1: we ain't overlooking them. We ain't stupid. They're going to
- 41:28Speaker 1: be a problem. I'm really hoping that that's exactly what
- 41:31Speaker 1: we do.
- 41:33Speaker 2: And I'm going to bring it back again.
- 41:35Speaker 3: I in no way advocate for anybody to take anybody's
- 41:38Speaker 3: knee out or go out to try to, in a
- 41:41Speaker 3: non-football manner, hurt someone. But if you want to go
- 41:44Speaker 3: hurt them in a football manner, I am 100% pro
- 41:47Speaker 3: go hurt them in a football manner.
- 41:50Speaker 2: And that's it. That is separation from the ball.
- 41:53Speaker 3: I'm talking, you know, Sean Taylor, Ed Reed type of
- 41:57Speaker 3: safety play from our guys. I'm talking, you know, hair
- 42:00Speaker 3: on fire, just bat shit crazy. from the linebackers. I'm
- 42:06Speaker 3: talking when you're the defensive end, you don't. If you're
- 42:11Speaker 3: Taylor Wine and you have the tackle and you can
- 42:15Speaker 3: reach through and grab Stockton, I want him to super
- 42:19Speaker 3: say and just push the tackle into Stockton's lap and
- 42:22Speaker 3: tackle two guys. Those are the things that we're going
- 42:25Speaker 3: to have to see this. And I promise you that
- 42:28Speaker 3: when you get a couple of those things happening, then
- 42:31Speaker 3: you start to realize and Hold on a second. This
- 42:33Speaker 3: is freaking Oklahoma. This it's not like this is no
- 42:37Speaker 3: offense to Louisville, but like Louisville is not going to
- 42:39Speaker 3: do anything. This is a perennial good team, but they're
- 42:42Speaker 3: not in that league. But I think that that's what
- 42:45Speaker 3: needs to happen with these guys. They need to understand
- 42:48Speaker 3: this is Oklahoma. Like you are a top five program
- 42:51Speaker 3: of all time. And we should not be saying we
- 42:55Speaker 3: need witchcraft to go be another really, really good team.
- 42:58Speaker 3: It needs to be like, no, well, what needs to
- 43:00Speaker 3: happen is you need to play with your freaking hair
- 43:02Speaker 3: on fire, and you need to go out there and say,
- 43:05Speaker 3: I'm not the one that's going to be the reason
- 43:07Speaker 3: why we lose this game. And I don't care if
- 43:10Speaker 3: everybody plays like that, Jay, and we end up losing
- 43:12Speaker 3: the game 24-17.
- 43:15Speaker 2: I will be here Sunday night. No, I won't because
- 43:17Speaker 2: I'll be at soccer.
- 43:19Speaker 3: But I will hop in and make a video, and
- 43:23Speaker 3: I will say, I am proud of this team.
- 43:25Speaker 2: But what I don't want.
- 43:27Speaker 3: is I don't want us to lose 40-10, scoring it
- 43:33Speaker 3: with Witt Neubauer running a ball in with eight seconds
- 43:36Speaker 3: left in the game. I don't want to see something
- 43:39Speaker 3: like that and be embarrassed and be like, those teams
- 43:41Speaker 3: didn't belong on the same field.
- 43:44Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my thought. I don't want to feel... That's
- 43:50Speaker 1: what I don't want to feel. I want to feel like...
- 43:57Speaker 1: They did a good job. I want to feel like
- 44:00Speaker 1: they played their butts off. That's what I want to feel.
- 44:04Speaker 1: I don't want them to... Yeah. I want to feel
- 44:09Speaker 1: like there was a massive amount of effort. That is
- 44:12Speaker 1: one of the things I've thought about this entire time.
- 44:14Speaker 1: And as you were saying that it's... Give me the effort, man.
- 44:17Speaker 1: It can be done. So, if we think about it, John,
- 44:21Speaker 1: get your feet together. Ben, scheme the offense to where.
- 44:29Speaker 1: He feels comfortable. That's what's most important. If you do that,
- 44:33Speaker 1: we should be good, but you've got to do that.
- 44:38Speaker 2: Somebody made a comment to me could be right. Could
- 44:40Speaker 2: be wrong.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Uh, that they are allowing Ben to do a little
- 44:44Speaker 3: bit more of what got him here versus what they
- 44:47Speaker 3: want him to do. And, uh, I mean, Jay, I
- 44:51Speaker 3: guess being a, being an ex pitcher and a baseball guy, um,
- 44:58Speaker 3: I was not a Greg Maddux type of pitcher. I
- 45:02Speaker 3: was not location, and I may throw strikes half the time,
- 45:10Speaker 3: and I may buzz your tower a few times, but
- 45:13Speaker 3: that uncertainty, I was a power pitcher.
- 45:15Speaker 2: That's what I was. And I had a game to where.
- 45:19Speaker 3: It was me or nobody, and they asked me to
- 45:22Speaker 3: go out and utilize more curves, more change-ups, because this
- 45:25Speaker 3: team had trouble with it.
- 45:28Speaker 2: I got shelled because that wasn't my game.
- 45:31Speaker 3: And I'm hoping that if that is true, that just
- 45:34Speaker 3: getting back to some of those roots, maybe that lets
- 45:38Speaker 3: John be a little bit more comfortable because if you
- 45:41Speaker 3: think about it, starting last year up through the Auburn game,
- 45:47Speaker 3: John did just, he was loose cannon, loose cannon football
- 45:51Speaker 3: player out there trying to do his best. And then
- 45:54Speaker 3: once he got hurt, it kind of became, all right, well,
- 45:57Speaker 3: let's just not make mistakes. Let's, you know, let's, you know, try.
- 46:02Speaker 2: It's a little something.
- 46:03Speaker 3: Everything looked different. And starting this year, it's looked a
- 46:06Speaker 3: lot different. So maybe this allows John to kind of
- 46:10Speaker 3: get back into a groove.
- 46:11Speaker 2: And you know what? He's a quarterback.
- 46:13Speaker 3: He's going to miss some guys. He's not going to
- 46:15Speaker 3: see some wide open guys. We're going to have some frustrating,
- 46:17Speaker 3: you know, moments with where that happens. But my last
- 46:22Speaker 3: piece here is, and I think I saw somebody say
- 46:25Speaker 3: in the chat, Just be clean.
- 46:28Speaker 2: No penalties and no stupid turnovers. No stupid turnovers. Satania,
- 46:33Speaker 2: I don't care if you need to sacrifice two live chickens.
- 46:36Speaker 2: I don't care what it is.
- 46:37Speaker 3: Catch the GD ball on the punt returns or just
- 46:40Speaker 3: get out of the way. I really don't care at
- 46:42Speaker 3: this point. Be confident in what you're going to do
- 46:45Speaker 3: because I think he kind of muffed that first one
- 46:48Speaker 3: and it looked really ugly going forward the rest of
- 46:50Speaker 3: the night. He has one of those games almost every
- 46:53Speaker 3: year where he.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Just woof, you know, just does not look good.
- 46:58Speaker 3: And so, but just don't, don't do silly turnovers and
- 47:03Speaker 3: then don't have the penalties like play clean because you're
- 47:07Speaker 3: not going to be Georgia. You're not going to be
- 47:10Speaker 3: Georgia and don't leave it in the official sands.
- 47:13Speaker 1: No, that's, that's definitely what you don't want to do.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It's not, especially sec ones. Now, granted, SEC officials, as
- 47:22Speaker 1: bad as they can be, they may actually be more
- 47:24Speaker 1: beneficial to us than Georgia, but you don't want to
- 47:26Speaker 1: leave it in their hands. You don't want to test
- 47:28Speaker 1: that theory to see if they're actually the possibility that
- 47:31Speaker 1: they're going to be able to be on our side.
- 47:35Speaker 1: But you do want to focus all of your energy
- 47:39Speaker 1: on making sure you do your part through every game.
- 47:49Speaker 1: If you do that, you should be good. It's going
- 47:51Speaker 1: to be tough. Again, it's going to be really tough.
- 47:57Speaker 1: But I do feel like we're in a position to
- 48:02Speaker 1: at least keep it close. Just like we talked about
- 48:06Speaker 1: with Bama, right? Beating them at their house. We was
- 48:11Speaker 1: talking about how we just wanted to be, you know,
- 48:13Speaker 1: everybody have fun. And they went out there and, you know,
- 48:18Speaker 1: Shocked them twice, two years in a row when they
- 48:20Speaker 1: shouldn't have. They've got something in them. Now that spread
- 48:23Speaker 1: is high. And I think I noticed that all the
- 48:28Speaker 1: traffic is all over Georgia, but a lot of the
- 48:35Speaker 1: big money is starting to fly on Oklahoma to cover
- 48:37Speaker 1: that spread. Somebody knows something. And some people will say
- 48:43Speaker 1: the game's rigged, cool. Hopefully it's rigged to where we
- 48:46Speaker 1: win it. Give me the money line, right? Like, give
- 48:52Speaker 1: me that. Give me the spread. I would like us
- 48:54Speaker 1: to be the ones that actually win that. That would
- 48:56Speaker 1: be great. But besides that though, we're coming up about
- 49:02Speaker 1: 10 minutes. We got injuries. Of course we're going to
- 49:04Speaker 1: talk about, but cool. We've had some commitments coming down
- 49:09Speaker 1: the line. I'm going to be honest. I'm a little surprised,
- 49:16Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. Before we do that, though, shout
- 49:20Speaker 1: out to our partners there at Price Picks. Go check
- 49:24Speaker 1: them out and use our promo code HMA or link

- 49:49Speaker 1: I'm going to pull this kid up because, Coop, I
- 49:55Speaker 1: wasn't prepared for this. I'm going to be honest.
- 50:01Speaker 2: I was prepared for one of them.
- 50:05Speaker 1: Okay, well, I'm glad that you feel that. Right? Let
- 50:09Speaker 1: me get him pulled up real quick. I did not
- 50:12Speaker 1: think that Jay was going to commit this soon. So,
- 50:18Speaker 1: Beebe got himself another linebacker. Jay Shell. Let me pull
- 50:26Speaker 1: him up. He is a four-star linebacker out of Georgia. Georgia.
- 50:36Speaker 1: Robin Gap, Ruben Gap, Ruben Gap, four star. He's a top,
- 50:43Speaker 1: he's 119th in the country. If you look at the
- 50:45Speaker 1: rivals industry, 247 has him as the 15th ranked linebacker.
- 50:50Speaker 1: ESPN has him as the number one linebacker in the
- 50:53Speaker 1: country for the 2028 class. And so Oklahoma went and
- 50:57Speaker 1: got themselves another linebacker.
- 51:00Speaker 2: So this is the one that I was ready for.
- 51:03Speaker 1: Um, I had a feeling it was coming, but it
- 51:06Speaker 1: still showed up a lot sooner than I thought it
- 51:09Speaker 1: was going to actually show up.
- 51:10Speaker 2: Well, defense looks great.
- 51:14Speaker 3: The conversation around what's going to happen. Right now, you
- 51:23Speaker 3: had Kobe McKenzie, you had Samuel Masego leave the past
- 51:27Speaker 3: couple years. Our man, the South Florida Missile, leads his
- 51:33Speaker 3: damn team and tackles every single Every single week. But, like,
- 51:39Speaker 3: I look at this guy along with Curry, and this
- 51:43Speaker 3: is going to be Rocky and Teddy, you know, in
- 51:49Speaker 3: the future. Like, these guys are nuts. Like, 6'3, 215.
- 51:54Speaker 3: You know, you can bulk him up with some proper
- 51:57Speaker 3: weight training. Obviously, his maturity is going to hit. This
- 52:00Speaker 3: guy is good in coverage. He's great at tackling. He
- 52:03Speaker 3: plays like a psycho. Um, this is, this is what Brent,
- 52:07Speaker 3: I mean, this is prequel Brent, Brent Venables. Uh, both
- 52:11Speaker 3: these guys are Curry and shell. And I think that
- 52:14Speaker 3: they're going to be studs. And I mean, if you
- 52:17Speaker 3: are a big time linebacker, uh, you know, it came
- 52:19Speaker 3: down to us and Clemson. Um, we'll just say that
- 52:22Speaker 3: the us versus Clemson junk is probably going to go
- 52:25Speaker 3: one way going forward. Um, you know, unless BV ends
- 52:30Speaker 3: up not being here anymore, but, I think that we've
- 52:33Speaker 3: probably seen the last situation where certain linebackers go to
- 52:37Speaker 3: Clemson over Oklahoma. But, yeah, this is– I mean, he
- 52:41Speaker 3: is up there with some of the best linebacker guys.
- 52:46Speaker 3: You may have a very, very young linebacker core next year,
- 52:49Speaker 3: and it's going to be a freaking battle, and it's
- 52:51Speaker 3: going to be exciting to watch.
- 52:53Speaker 2: It is.
- 52:54Speaker 1: So him, Cooper Witten, like I said, Curry– Davin Ips.
- 53:06Speaker 2: There's a lot of talent in a young room.
- 53:11Speaker 1: He's stacking them up.
- 53:12Speaker 3: You're going to see at least one of these guys
- 53:15Speaker 3: become more of the cheetah mold. I've thought that Curry
- 53:22Speaker 3: and Shell both... I think Curry was working a lot
- 53:25Speaker 3: there already. Then you've got Dane Bathurst. You've got all
- 53:30Speaker 3: the other young pups. So you're going to– the two
- 53:34Speaker 3: that rise up out of that group, you know, going forward,
- 53:38Speaker 3: it's going to be pretty impressive.
- 53:39Speaker 2: And then you still have Cole Sullivan coming back next
- 53:41Speaker 2: year too.
- 53:42Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. But I just think it– I think
- 53:50Speaker 1: it's just– it was wild how fast that happened. I
- 53:53Speaker 1: look up, I'm like, dang, they for real got a
- 53:56Speaker 1: commitment already?
- 53:56Speaker 2: Really?
- 53:57Speaker 1: And then they go and then grab themselves a wide receiver,
- 54:00Speaker 1: but there's also predictions coming down the line. It's gotten
- 54:03Speaker 1: everybody pretty darn excited. Let me get this boy pulled up.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Did not expect this 2028 to come down the line
- 54:12Speaker 1: as well. Colton Fitzgibbon, the three-star wide receiver, but he's
- 54:17Speaker 1: also committed for baseball. That is where I was like, oh,
- 54:24Speaker 1: The two-sport U, that's a very common moniker for us.
- 54:29Speaker 1: That has been a lot of conversation. But as a wideout,
- 54:33Speaker 1: Brody Lusk over there at 247 had posted about him.
- 54:36Speaker 1: 44 catches for 805 yards, 10 touchdowns as a sophomore.
- 54:43Speaker 1: He also ranks number 31 in the MLB draft class
- 54:45Speaker 1: of 2028. So as cool as it sounds, there's a
- 54:51Speaker 1: possibility we may not even see him. If we keep
- 54:54Speaker 1: it a buck, like if he ends up being a
- 54:56Speaker 1: first round baseball player in MLB draft, he ain't coming
- 55:00Speaker 1: to college. He ain't, but he's not, he's not going
- 55:03Speaker 1: to do what Kyler did because Kyler did it because
- 55:05Speaker 1: at quarterback, you make so much more money. Like this
- 55:08Speaker 1: would make no sense for him to go come here. If,
- 55:11Speaker 1: if the MLB calls him in the first round period. Yeah.
- 55:17Speaker 2: No, no, a hundred percent.
- 55:17Speaker 3: Like I was going to say, you take Kyler and
- 55:20Speaker 3: you make him Zion Reagan's. then we don't have that
- 55:27Speaker 3: back-to-back Heismans. He's going to get every chance to play
- 55:34Speaker 3: center field in Major League Baseball that you want to
- 55:37Speaker 3: give him because he is fast as absolute hell. You've
- 55:41Speaker 3: got PCA, Pete Crowe, Armstrong, and as a St. Louis
- 55:45Speaker 3: Cardinals fan, it hates for me to say this, dude
- 55:47Speaker 3: deserves the MVP. He is a five-star or five. a
- 55:52Speaker 3: five tool player. Um, and that's the same thing with Fitzgibbon.
- 55:56Speaker 3: I mean, he is, he is, there's, he's in a,
- 56:00Speaker 3: he's like, there's, there's, Hey, that, that person's, you know,
- 56:03Speaker 3: he can move well. There's, this is a fast guy.
- 56:06Speaker 3: Then there's like, uh, you know, this guy is going
- 56:10Speaker 3: to set records. Like that's, that's Fitzgibbon. Um, he's very,
- 56:14Speaker 3: very rangy. He got a strong arm can hit for power,
- 56:16Speaker 3: hit for a contact. So, um, if he does show
- 56:19Speaker 3: up on campus, um, ever, I would, I would be very,
- 56:24Speaker 3: very surprised. Um, now things happen, things change. Uh, there
- 56:28Speaker 3: could be a baseball strike coming through. And if that happens,
- 56:31Speaker 3: maybe that changes how he thinks about things because Jay,
- 56:36Speaker 3: I chose to never have surgery because the last thing
- 56:38Speaker 3: I want to do was go through the minor league system.
- 56:41Speaker 3: And I wanted nothing to do with it, like zero
- 56:43Speaker 3: to do with it because it's kind of like being homeless. Um,
- 56:47Speaker 3: but you have a job and, uh, it's, uh, It's
- 56:52Speaker 3: just not as fun. So anyway, that being said, if
- 56:54Speaker 3: we ever see him in a football uniform, I'd be surprised.
- 56:58Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's a good point. And then the biggest one,
- 57:01Speaker 1: if anything, this prediction that came down the line this
- 57:05Speaker 1: week from Sam Spiegelman over there at Rivals is the
- 57:09Speaker 1: one that y'all been wanting to see and hear about.
- 57:12Speaker 1: Let me fix this real quick so you guys can
- 57:14Speaker 1: actually see how impactful this is. Because I know a
- 57:17Speaker 1: lot of y'all are really concerned about how this could
- 57:20Speaker 1: happen for Oklahoma if it's possible because, you know, we
- 57:24Speaker 1: ain't doing too well. But five-star Kellen Hall, who is
- 57:27Speaker 1: the number four player on rivals right now for 2028,
- 57:31Speaker 1: has been predicted to Oklahoma as a defensive tackle. And
- 57:34Speaker 1: I tell you that because there's a possibility this kid
- 57:39Speaker 1: is going to find a way to hit the starting
- 57:41Speaker 1: lineup as a true freshman. Like, he has the ability
- 57:45Speaker 1: to– be a stone day one, a Jaden Jackson day one.
- 57:57Speaker 1: And if Kellen Hall ends up coming here, it's going
- 57:59Speaker 1: to play in 2028. That season, he will be on
- 58:01Speaker 1: the field. But he also recognizes this defense. This defense
- 58:04Speaker 1: is really good. Yeah. And it sounds like he loves it. Now,
- 58:10Speaker 1: he's going to be at the Georgia game, which I
- 58:12Speaker 1: think is very fascinating. If they go out there and
- 58:15Speaker 1: they really cook against Georgia... He probably commits. Like, oh,
- 58:21Speaker 1: this defense is for real. Because Georgia's offensive line is
- 58:23Speaker 1: actually solid. He's like, oh, no, no, no, they're for real.
- 58:25Speaker 1: They're going to get me there. I'm going to go.
- 58:29Speaker 1: Good chance he commits after that. So, yeah.
- 58:35Speaker 3: I have a feeling that Kellen Hall is... The sand
- 58:40Speaker 3: is not very much. It is almost time for him.
- 58:45Speaker 3: I see a guy who has... is G baby with
- 58:51Speaker 3: a little bit more athletic talent, uh, in Kellen hall.
- 58:55Speaker 3: Like G baby is a guy who I think that
- 58:57Speaker 3: they thought if we could get to this area, uh,
- 59:00Speaker 3: you know, I think he's right at two 75 to
- 59:03Speaker 3: 80 right now. So they're going to need to him
- 59:05Speaker 3: to bulk up a little bit more, but, he's extremely,
- 59:08Speaker 3: extremely heavy-handed, very, very fast. He's got a bevy of moves.
- 59:15Speaker 3: And a lot of the time when you see guys
- 59:17Speaker 3: like Jalen Brewster or Kellen Hall, these guys who are
- 59:21Speaker 3: getting ranked so high right from the get-go, most of
- 59:24Speaker 3: the time the difference between a high three-star or a
- 59:27Speaker 3: four-star D-tackle and a five-star D-tackle is Jay is the
- 59:31Speaker 3: different moves. Because you can be, or same thing with
- 59:34Speaker 3: the edge players. You could be like a Jake Crell
- 59:37Speaker 3: and just be fast as hell and be able to
- 59:39Speaker 3: get around pretty much anybody. But it's when you have
- 59:43Speaker 3: the ability to have different pitches. Like if you can
- 59:47Speaker 3: go power, if you can go misdirection, if you can
- 59:51Speaker 3: go speed, that's what makes you a Miles Garrett type
- 59:56Speaker 3: of defensive end or defensive lineman.
- 59:58Speaker 2: Is having the multiple moves and Kellen Holtz got them all.
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: Yep. That's exactly what he is. I agree. Kid can
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: ball and BV is getting these boys prep defensive line.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: Of course, always shows up. The defense has shown up
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: every year. It's gotten better and better. That's the beauty of, um,
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: it's the beauty of having him as your coach. He is,
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: he gives you that.
- 1:00:25Speaker 3: And I will say this, uh, you know, they've, uh,
- 1:00:29Speaker 3: Georgia already has Jalen Wade, who is their, their big
- 1:00:33Speaker 3: time D tackle.
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: He, he is a, I am. Oh, sorry.
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: Nope.
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: Disregard. These aren't the droids you're looking for. This disregard. Nevermind.
- 1:00:43Speaker 3: I wrote something down two different thoughts at the same time.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: So that guy's a quarterback.
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. That's yeah. We'll, we'll leave on that.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: But in that, in that point, 28's already starting. It
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: sounds like it appears that Nagy and staff is already
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: building that all the way out. And there's going to
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: be a lot of talent coming out of line. So
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: I'm really intrigued to see what we look like. Actually,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: I'm really curious to see who else we go after, honestly,
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: for this class. Because I actually think we... I don't
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: think we finish with... just what we got. I don't
- 1:01:33Speaker 1: think this class is done. I actually think they get more.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: I'm sensing that they're going to probably grab a couple
- 1:01:40Speaker 1: more players, which would make sense. You could leverage it.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: You need more bodies and really go all in over
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: the next couple of years. Can't beat it, man. This is.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: This class is building. I wasn't prepared. You got a quarterback.
- 1:02:03Speaker 1: You got a tight end. Oh, yeah, Conor Arant. I
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: didn't realize he committed last week. He's like, I'm traveling.
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: I'm like, dang, you get a tight end out of Bixby?
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: Oklahoma tight end? Jason Witten cooking.
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: Yeah, you got Kenny Penny and Arant out there in Bixby.
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: And there was some highlight stuff that I was watching
- 1:02:28Speaker 3: the other day and it was from earlier in the
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: summer for practice, and somebody got me both of those
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: cats at the same time being blocked, and it didn't
- 1:02:40Speaker 3: go over too well.
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: Yeah. I did not. It just, yeah. Shot me. Shot
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: me on that.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: Um, looks like we've got any second now. We're probably
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: going to see.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: Yeah, we got a few minutes to go before the
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: reports show up at 710. So we'll pull that up.
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: Let's look at the games, uh, on the SEC schedule
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: this week. Let me get this pulled up. I think
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: that'd be fun to, of course, to talk about like
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: we do every week. Um, because yeah, let me see.
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: Share this tab. Let me build this up properly. Yeah.
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: scc games it's gonna be a good fun weekend all
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: right thank y'all for pulling up hit the like button
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: if you're new to the channel subscribe rate review give
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: us five stars um yeah of course game day heads
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: to knoxville for the 11 a.m game and actually it's
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: funny because espn's uh the pr lady mentioned that this
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: is the first time that they've actually been at Tennessee
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: for early game to be able to actually see the
- 1:03:55Speaker 1: run out, which is, I thought that was pretty fascinating.
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: Would have thunk they'd been there for an 11 o'clock game,
- 1:04:00Speaker 1: but I guess not. But yeah, you got Tennessee, Texas.
- 1:04:04Speaker 1: Texas is a favorite going into it. I'm intrigued by
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: this game because Tennessee's offensive line is better than advertised,
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: which is shocking. And their defense is actually better than advertised.
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: I'm actually curious what it looks like. I think Colin
- 1:04:20Speaker 1: Simmons is in a booth. Sounds like there's a possibility
- 1:04:25Speaker 1: he won't play. Does that help Tennessee? Because I think
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: my question is I need to see what Brandon's going
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: to look like. What phase on Brandon's going to be
- 1:04:37Speaker 1: able to provide them. Tennessee doesn't. run the ball, stop
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: the run very well, but they run the ball very well.
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: The number four in the country in EPA on the
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: run where Texas is 21st, Texas 44th and past Tennessee 55th,
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: but Tennessee, Deshaun Bishop is a beast and he runs
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: down people's throat.
- 1:05:00Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, this is, it's the same situation. You're
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: at home.
- 1:05:03Speaker 3: Um, what got Tennessee in trouble last year was obviously turnovers. Um,
- 1:05:09Speaker 3: you know, the, uh, Taylor Wine, RMT, or I guess
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: not Taylor Wine. It was Heineke that just lit them up.
- 1:05:17Speaker 3: It's turnovers. If you're Tennessee, you need to capitalize on success.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: You need to be able to have your entire playbook
- 1:05:30Speaker 3: ready to go, and that means you need to run
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: the ball. And if you're Tennessee, you don't mind shortening
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: the game because to this point, Arch has– he's having
- 1:05:40Speaker 3: another year to where it's starting slow. And, you know,
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: we're all sitting here losing our minds about John Mateer.
- 1:05:46Speaker 3: I mean, Arch has got 12 more yards passing than
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: John Mateer does.
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: It's kind of insane if you really.
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: Think about it.
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: Two more touchdowns.
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: It's, I mean, it's not been spectacular. That being said,
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: Texas has played the big games. Arch has played the
- 1:06:01Speaker 2: big games. This is Faison's very, very first big game.
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: And so you've got a lot of, potential for Texas
- 1:06:10Speaker 3: to walk in there and not be phased from the get-go. Now,
- 1:06:16Speaker 3: that stadium's going to be a little crazy. I think
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: it may take them, but you've got to start fast
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: and you've got to prevent Texas from starting fast if
- 1:06:23Speaker 3: you want to win that game if you're Tennessee. If
- 1:06:27Speaker 3: you are Texas, just keep them off-balanced. I will say
- 1:06:33Speaker 3: the one thing that I respect out of Arch is
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: I don't care how much time is left on the clock,
- 1:06:39Speaker 3: like until zeros, like he can still come up with
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: an amazing play.
- 1:06:43Speaker 2: That'll beat you.
- 1:06:44Speaker 3: And so it's going to be about Tennessee shortening the
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: game on offense. You know, make sure that you don't,
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: you know, give any chance for the officials to get
- 1:06:53Speaker 3: involved with the game and see if Bishop and, and
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: that crew can't run the ball, you know, 40, 44 times.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Like you just need to run the rock. Yeah. I mean,
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: No clue, Jay.
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: If you said Tennessee won by a touchdown, I would say,
- 1:07:10Speaker 3: I mean, I could see it. If you say it's
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: a game-winning field goal by one or the other, sure.
- 1:07:14Speaker 3: Texas wins by a touchdown, sure. I could see this
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: game going anyway.
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Same. I'm in the exact same boat. It can go
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: either direction. Because Tennessee's defense, because Jim Knowles is still
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: running that defense. I mean, he's the new D.C., And
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: it looks like they're playing a little bit better.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: Year two.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: It's year one for him, actually. Oh, is it year one?
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: That's right.
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: Yeah, he just started. Yeah, last year they had banks and.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: They fired him.
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's a possibility that it could be better.
- 1:07:49Speaker 3: Now, I will say this. Tennessee goes and wins this game.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: You remember early, early in the summer, Tennessee seemed to have, like,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: Six injuries. And we were like, oh my God, they
- 1:08:03Speaker 2: may not win a game.
- 1:08:04Speaker 1: Yeah, they had injuries like on top of injuries, but
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: they have bounced back from them.
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: Yes, they have. Buddy.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Buddy. They have bounced back. But yeah, you're right. They
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: were saying that about them. We were like, what are
- 1:08:16Speaker 1: they going to do? I mean, Sean Bishop's out here
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: being a beast of a running back. Matthews has shown up.
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: It's just the quarterback is still young. I mean, Faison
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: Brandon's thrown for five, 52, six touchdowns. Not two, about
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: 111 yards less than Arch with one less touchdown and
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: no interceptions in comparison. Gilliam, Xavier Gilliam has been playing
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: good for them. Three sacks. Colin Simmons, who might not play. Yeah,
- 1:08:45Speaker 1: that's what it is. It's going to be a very
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: interesting matchup. Tennessee has been putting up numbers. Now, from there,
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: this Ole Miss-Florida game is what gets my attention, too. Ooh, buddy.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Ole Miss is a three-and-a-half point dog in this game.
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: Ole Miss, after beating LSU, are dogs.
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: I agree.
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: I think Florida's going to win this game. And I
- 1:09:13Speaker 1: think Ole Miss coming off this high John Sumrall is
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: going to have Florida fans making some reckless predictions.
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: Well, Florida or Ole Miss has a bye after this game.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: And you can't tell me that.
- 1:09:37Speaker 3: That Wednesday next week is going to feel exhausting for
- 1:09:43Speaker 3: those Ole Miss people. Jay, we said going into that
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: game last week, we said the emotions, the only thing
- 1:09:49Speaker 3: the emotions are going to affect is going to be
- 1:09:50Speaker 3: probably the Ole Miss side. And they did it. But
- 1:09:55Speaker 3: I can tell you this, Jaden Ball is one bad mofo.
- 1:09:59Speaker 3: And if you're Ole Miss and it takes you eight
- 1:10:05Speaker 3: to ten minutes to kind of shake off the fuzz
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: from last week and go, oh, man, we're in another
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: football game, Jaden Ball may have you down 10 points
- 1:10:15Speaker 3: to 14 points before you wake up. And Florida can
- 1:10:19Speaker 3: do that. Florida can turn around and hand it off.
- 1:10:22Speaker 3: They don't have to be pretty. They just go out
- 1:10:24Speaker 3: there and put some thumps on Ole Miss until the
- 1:10:28Speaker 3: cobwebs shake out. I would pick Florida on this one.
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: I would too. Reports out. Thank y'all, of course. For

- 1:10:39Speaker 1: the channel, subscribe, rate, review. Give us five stars. Not
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: what I wanted to see, but you know what? We
- 1:10:47Speaker 1: ain't that concerned about it. We gonna figure this out, right?
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: Here you go. Here's your report. Fasusi is out with
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Taylor Heim. Cole Sullivan is out. Boganowski is out. All
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: of them are listed as out. Stone is questionable, but
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: Kemp Lewis is probable?
- 1:11:06Speaker 3: Yo!
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: Kip is probable. I feel a little bit better.
- 1:11:26Speaker 3: So, yeah, what I heard, hey, man, there's, like, I'd
- 1:11:32Speaker 3: put money on Kip Lewis playing this week. I kind
- 1:11:36Speaker 3: of just didn't care as much about the ones that
- 1:11:39Speaker 3: I wasn't going to, you know, that I knew that
- 1:11:41Speaker 3: we were going to see where we're going to see.
- 1:11:43Speaker 3: And that was, uh, that was for Susie. Um, I listen,
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: David Stone ends up playing. They found whatever they gave, uh,
- 1:11:53Speaker 3: two years ago against us because that's, that's a tough,
- 1:11:56Speaker 3: I've dislocated my kneecap and it took a while, but, Jay, yeah,
- 1:12:02Speaker 3: Kip Lewis on the probable.
- 1:12:04Speaker 2: I didn't expect probable.
- 1:12:05Speaker 3: I expected him questionable, and I expected, you know, maybe
- 1:12:09Speaker 3: like him to go up and Stone to go down.
- 1:12:11Speaker 3: But also, Jermichael Carter, he hasn't been able to get
- 1:12:15Speaker 3: out there and play yet. You know, he's on the
- 1:12:17Speaker 3: questionable side too. So, yeah, I mean, I'm pretty excited.
- 1:12:22Speaker 3: This is– I'm okay with this, Jay, with Fasusi. I
- 1:12:28Speaker 3: don't think it matters. I think you've got to win
- 1:12:30Speaker 3: in two weeks much more than you've got to win
- 1:12:32Speaker 3: this week. But this would allow the offensive line to
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: probably have the same configuration all week at practice ready
- 1:12:42Speaker 3: to go. So I'm going to.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: This is pretty much what I expected.
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: Yeah, I was hoping that Bogo would have been back
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: because I want him going up against the tight ends.
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: But I get it.
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: Um....
- 1:12:58Speaker 1: But it's good to see... So Stone and Jermichael at Questionable. Kip,
- 1:13:08Speaker 1: curious about... I can't believe Kip is going to be back.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: That is actually a really good thing.
- 1:13:13Speaker 3: And question about Haim. I think he's on here because
- 1:13:17Speaker 3: it's the first actual one of the season. And I
- 1:13:21Speaker 3: probably wouldn't expect to see Haim outside of maybe the
- 1:13:25Speaker 3: occasional Monday show.
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: But that might be why he's on there. Somebody asked
- 1:13:29Speaker 2: why he's on there.
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: Honestly, I am surprised, Jonathan, that he's on here too, though.
- 1:13:34Speaker 1: But you're right, Coop. He's usually the first, but none
- 1:13:37Speaker 1: of the other young linebackers are on here.
- 1:13:41Speaker 2: Yeah, because.
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: I wonder if they are holding out the possibility of
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: him playing at the end of the season. Because usually
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: you put them on the report if you think there's
- 1:13:50Speaker 1: a possibility they can come back.
- 1:13:56Speaker 2: I'd have put John Mateer as doubtful just because.
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: I hate you.
- 1:14:04Speaker 2: That's not too bad.
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: I'll take it. We'll see what happens. Going forward there,
- 1:14:11Speaker 1: but there's your injury report. Like I said, we always
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: do this here on the show live because that's just
- 1:14:15Speaker 1: what we always look out with. Cole Sullivan's a knee thing.
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: for those that don't know I think it's something with
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: his knee that's why he didn't play last week but
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: Stone being questionable is not bad that's a plus we'll
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: see what he's like in two days Kip being probable
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: is very encouraging which means there's a possibility you see
- 1:14:41Speaker 1: him I'm here for that the Texas one somebody mentioned
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: see oh wow.
- 1:14:52Speaker 2: Jay, I want to make a bold prediction.
- 1:14:55Speaker 3: I think that if Kip and Heineke are on the
- 1:14:59Speaker 3: field the entire game, I bet that they combine for
- 1:15:07Speaker 3: 25-plus tackles. I think it's going to be that type
- 1:15:11Speaker 3: of game that they're going to have those opportunities. And
- 1:15:14Speaker 3: I promise you, last week was probably the hardest thing
- 1:15:17Speaker 3: that Kip's ever gone through.
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: Could be. It could be. Yeah. But, okay, well, we'll see.
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: So Colin Simmons is probable on the Texas one. Hollywood
- 1:15:36Speaker 1: Smothers is questionable.
- 1:15:38Speaker 3: Ooh.
- 1:15:39Speaker 1: Justice Terry is out. Hosami is out. Nick Townsend, they're
