- 1:58Speaker 2: we're kind of at the at the final hours. But

- 2:37Speaker 1: and our prayers. We know now it's it, you know,
- 2:41Speaker 1: it's now the formality portion of it, right we're kind
- 2:43Speaker 1: of just waiting for him to decide that. All right,
- 2:46Speaker 1: I think I'm good now. Right now, there's a reason
- 2:48Speaker 1: why he's still doing his thing. He's still fighting. He
- 2:51Speaker 1: has a he has a reason. So we'll we'll you know, yeah,
- 2:54Speaker 1: well we'll we'll just pray for like I said, your

- 3:02Speaker 1: showing Coop the love and making sure you're keeping them
- 3:05Speaker 1: him and coach Powers and that family all in your
- 3:08Speaker 1: thoughts and prayers. College football was a busy weekend, Coop.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I want to kind of open with this that you
- 3:17Speaker 1: gotta remember, no matter what, even if you hate twelve
- 3:24Speaker 1: team playoff, it is giving us this. It is giving
- 3:29Speaker 1: us a lot of drama going into last few weeks
- 3:33Speaker 1: of the season. You're not following one team anymore, or
- 3:38Speaker 1: two teams or even four teams, right You're now following
- 3:43Speaker 1: roughly twenty teams to see who ends up where, and
- 3:48Speaker 1: so we've got a lot of pressure on a lot
- 3:51Speaker 1: of different people. And I think that's the thing I
- 3:53Speaker 1: enjoy most about the twelve. Even though I'm not the
- 3:55Speaker 1: biggest fan of the twelve, I appreciate the fact that
- 4:01Speaker 1: the we're dealing with a lot of teams that are
- 4:07Speaker 1: still in the hunt and so every game matters. You know,
- 4:11Speaker 1: It's an easy way to do things is just go
- 4:13Speaker 1: undefeat it. And if it was that easy, everybody would
- 4:16Speaker 1: really do it. Right, Like, you've only got three undefeated
- 4:20Speaker 1: teams right now in college football, Ohio State, Indiana, and
- 4:24Speaker 1: Texas A and M. It's a little hard to do. Yeah,
- 4:30Speaker 1: so we're now here. So we look at last weekend's games, Coop,
- 4:34Speaker 1: I think the most important ones to really point out,
- 4:36Speaker 1: Indiana barely beats Penn State twenty seven twenty four. I
- 4:40Speaker 1: do feel like that's gonna make an adjustment for them.
- 4:43Speaker 1: Texas A and M put the work on Missouri thirty
- 4:45Speaker 1: eight to seveneen, and I think that game to me
- 4:51Speaker 1: probably has one of the bigger implications for me. Pull
- 4:56Speaker 1: it up for Oklahoma. You've also got Bama, uh surviving
- 5:03Speaker 1: LSU a little weird, but they survived LSU on that
- 5:08Speaker 1: BYU getting cooked by Texas Tech, which that means to me,
- 5:14Speaker 1: b why you should see a drop. Yeah, and both
- 5:19Speaker 1: of the ACC teams that are supposed to be going
- 5:22Speaker 1: for the championship get knocked off, which fourteen and fifteen
- 5:25Speaker 1: drops them, Vandy surviving Auburn, which will give them a
- 5:30Speaker 1: slight boost. So where do you want to start, coop?
- 5:33Speaker 1: Which game is the one that makes you jump out
- 5:37Speaker 1: your chair and gets you excited?
- 5:40Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I say, yes, Jay, I
- 5:43Speaker 2: have to agree with you about, you know, the twelve
- 5:46Speaker 2: team college playoff. Why else is college the college football
- 5:52Speaker 2: fan losing their dang minds on a Friday November seventh
- 5:56Speaker 2: watching Memphis, you know, go down and everybody's like, really,
- 6:02Speaker 2: this is this is who we had in it just
- 6:05Speaker 2: two days ago in you know, so like this is
- 6:09Speaker 2: what we asked for. I mean, it's much better than
- 6:11Speaker 2: going Hey man, there's two teams that are still you know,
- 6:15Speaker 2: going to have something to play for you know what?
- 6:18Speaker 2: You know, you're what are you in Indiana and Ohio
- 6:21Speaker 2: State and potentially A and M conversation if we're still
- 6:24Speaker 2: doing the two teams. So I'd like to start in
- 6:26Speaker 2: Indiana because I like that. I don't. I'm not a
- 6:32Speaker 2: believer in Indiana and I haven't been. Like I watched
- 6:37Speaker 2: what they did when they played Iowa, and I believe
- 6:43Speaker 2: that was twenty to fifteen. This game, they really I
- 6:47Speaker 2: mean Penn State. That's what's why they're three and six
- 6:50Speaker 2: and without a head coach right now, is they haven't
- 6:53Speaker 2: been able to do these things or playing you know,
- 6:55Speaker 2: freshman quarterback out there. I mean they win on a
- 6:59Speaker 2: toe tap at the end of the game, right, And
- 7:01Speaker 2: so you're you're seeing the Indiana high flying, going crazy
- 7:05Speaker 2: offense doesn't really show up and show out against teams
- 7:09Speaker 2: that actually could play anything resembling defense. I mean they
- 7:12Speaker 2: didn't didn't exactly light it up against Oregon, didn't light
- 7:16Speaker 2: up against that. You know. I now, did they win
- 7:18Speaker 2: the games? Yes, yes, Jay, they won the game. And
- 7:20Speaker 2: that little zero, that little zero on the right side,
- 7:23Speaker 2: that's the most important part. But I will say the
- 7:27Speaker 2: game winning catch, it's I'm glad it wasn't some kind
- 7:30Speaker 2: of like controversial rubb route to where dude goes running
- 7:33Speaker 2: into the end zone. One of the two best catches,
- 7:37Speaker 2: I mean two of the best catches I've seen in
- 7:39Speaker 2: college football this year on back to back plays. Got
- 7:42Speaker 2: the big dude on the on the sideline catches it,
- 7:45Speaker 2: I mean full extension and then obviously back to the
- 7:48Speaker 2: end zone for for the end. But yeah, it's h
- 7:55Speaker 2: I mean they survived.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. No, you're not wrong for me when
- 8:00Speaker 1: it comes to Indiana, and I guess the argument where
- 8:03Speaker 1: I would go on the opposite side of the sphere
- 8:05Speaker 1: for you is is that I mean, they beat Oregon
- 8:08Speaker 1: thirty twenty, so it was kind of a little bit
- 8:10Speaker 1: better of a game then I anticipated to beat the
- 8:13Speaker 1: crap out of Illinois when they were ranked, but we
- 8:15Speaker 1: had questions about why the heck out of his rank
- 8:17Speaker 1: so high, But they beat the dog out of him
- 8:18Speaker 1: sixty three to ten. Yes, Iowa is known for their defense.
- 8:23Speaker 1: I mean, Oregon just beat them what sixteen fifteen, Like
- 8:26Speaker 1: it's if there's Kurt Farriens, if there's one thing, I'll
- 8:30Speaker 1: give him his defense as always some sort of legit
- 8:33Speaker 1: he's also he's also found a market inefficiency out there
- 8:38Speaker 1: is that he's always got some elite white corners out
- 8:40Speaker 1: there that get disrespected when they go to the NFL
- 8:44Speaker 1: and they make them safeties. Nah man put that due
- 8:46Speaker 1: to corner. He can do it. Let him be a corner.
- 8:49Speaker 1: Stop making him a safety. He ain't no safety like
- 8:51Speaker 1: Coopa Degene is not a nickel. Cooper Degene's an outside
- 8:55Speaker 1: field corner and he's shunted it. Yes, let him do it.
- 8:58Speaker 1: But Kirk Ferris always find that market efficiencycause has always
- 9:01Speaker 1: got at least one or two white dudes that are
- 9:03Speaker 1: elite at the corner spot. And then of course Penn State.
- 9:08Speaker 1: Which it's funny that you point that out because I
- 9:13Speaker 1: was thinking about the James Franklin takes of people saying, oh,
- 9:17Speaker 1: there's no reason James Franklin should be fired and blah
- 9:20Speaker 1: blah blah. Right, they're oh and six in conference. He
- 9:23Speaker 1: was getting fired this year, and there was bro chance
- 9:28Speaker 1: they won more won one game even with him as
- 9:32Speaker 1: head coach. He was getting fired period. I mean, oh
- 9:34Speaker 1: and six in conference, Yeah, you should get fired. I
- 9:37Speaker 1: don't think that was a ripple effect of him getting fired.
- 9:39Speaker 1: I think that was he was gonna get fired. So
- 9:42Speaker 1: with that being said, I'm kind of sold on Indiana,
- 9:47Speaker 1: and I'm sold on them because they are grinding out
- 9:51Speaker 1: wins and it's getting late in the season. I feel
- 9:56Speaker 1: like they're now in a circumstance that's similar to what
- 9:59Speaker 1: we're seeing in the SEC. It's certain games our grind
- 10:03Speaker 1: out wins. It's either all offense or all defense, and
- 10:07Speaker 1: they're just one play at a time, one play at
- 10:10Speaker 1: a time to get you there. The good thing for
- 10:13Speaker 1: us is going into next week, this coming week in
- 10:17Speaker 1: against Bama, it probably will be another one of those
- 10:20Speaker 1: because when we do the advanced numbers on them. Shout
- 10:22Speaker 1: out to my guy Popo slash Odes, SI's or whatever
- 10:26Speaker 1: he goes by each week. Over there at the Tunnel,
- 10:30Speaker 1: we were looking at the advance. I had already been
- 10:32Speaker 1: researching him and putting some stuff together too, and he
- 10:34Speaker 1: dropped me the early preliminaries. Coop's gonna be an interesting one.
- 10:38Speaker 1: So we'll break that down later. We'll we'll save that
- 10:41Speaker 1: for another episode, So please hit the light subscribe Ben
- 10:43Speaker 1: out of case you don't miss it. But to start
- 10:44Speaker 1: with Indiana, You're right, I see why there's not a
- 10:50Speaker 1: reason be bought into them, But I'm kind of sold
- 10:53Speaker 1: on the fact that they're just grinding out and getting wins.
- 10:57Speaker 1: That's a tough part to me. I think it's harder
- 10:59Speaker 1: than keeping blowout going. I guess you could.
- 11:00Speaker 2: Say, yeah, but where I would go with it? And
- 11:05Speaker 2: maybe we don't have an answer to that right now.
- 11:07Speaker 2: But would Indiana be favored over A M on a
- 11:11Speaker 2: neutral field Bama, Georgia, Texas.
- 11:16Speaker 1: Question, that's a good question. I don't. I don't do.
- 11:20Speaker 1: We don't have an answer on that. I don't. Let
- 11:24Speaker 1: me see. I'm gonna go look at because ESP's FPI
- 11:29Speaker 1: is more of a neutral site favorability metric, and it
- 11:38Speaker 1: appears they would have the top three teams Ohio State, Indiana,
- 11:44Speaker 1: and Oregon. All three of them would be favored by
- 11:47Speaker 1: roughly a point to a point and a half over Bama, Georgia,
- 11:54Speaker 1: and A and M is actually like a six point dog.
- 11:57Speaker 1: It appears in their numbers, which is a very interesting
- 12:01Speaker 1: and fascinating thought.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Yeah, well, here's a here's a news flash. I don't
- 12:07Speaker 2: know if I fully believe in Ohio State, and I
- 12:09Speaker 2: definitely don't believe in the Oregon.
- 12:12Speaker 1: I don't think, I mean, who really believes in Oregon.
- 12:15Speaker 1: But it's no shade to Dan Lanning. I is he
- 12:25Speaker 1: gonna end up having I mean Oregon to really get
- 12:27Speaker 1: over the homep that he wants to get over.
- 12:29Speaker 2: It kind of feels like, well, it's crazy because you
- 12:33Speaker 2: had just lost a slew of people, like you've had
- 12:36Speaker 2: a little bit of an issue. I mean, you had
- 12:37Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel come in there as a quarterback, and you
- 12:41Speaker 2: have athletes galore all over the place, but they always
- 12:44Speaker 2: seem like the Oregon wide receiver, the Oregon running back
- 12:49Speaker 2: always seems like they're really good at something. They're not
- 12:53Speaker 2: well rounded, they're good at something. And when you get
- 13:00Speaker 2: into a game against the you know, Big ten, Big Time,
- 13:04Speaker 2: Big ten or SEC, those Oregon athletes always seem to
- 13:10Speaker 2: not have those answers. So but again, we get a
- 13:15Speaker 2: twelve team playoff. So where I'm going to feel justified
- 13:19Speaker 2: is it looks like, regardless of the Michigan game, Ohio
- 13:23Speaker 2: State and Indiana are on a crash course for the
- 13:26Speaker 2: Big Ten championship game. And what happens if Ohio State
- 13:31Speaker 2: goes out and pops him like twenty seven to ten
- 13:35Speaker 2: is everybody going to be like we we happened last year,
- 13:41Speaker 2: because I feel like Indiana is kind of on that
- 13:43Speaker 2: Penn State trail. You look good all season long, you
- 13:47Speaker 2: get to the end and these games that matter and
- 13:49Speaker 2: it just doesn't come together for you. But again, I'll
- 13:52Speaker 2: call myself an Indiana hater. I'm going to be in
- 13:55Speaker 2: a show. I'm going to be in approved and show
- 13:57Speaker 2: me type of mentality until they they show it up
- 14:00Speaker 2: against the and I and I don't mean beating Texas
- 14:03Speaker 2: Tech in around one game or beating got Virginia or
- 14:09Speaker 2: Georgia to Georgia Tech or somebody like that. Like I
- 14:12Speaker 2: want to see them go up against the Ohio State.
- 14:14Speaker 2: I want to see them going up against Georgia in Alabama.
- 14:18Speaker 2: I want to see some of them go play one
- 14:19Speaker 2: of those guys and put it down same.
- 14:22Speaker 1: I do need to see them. I gotta see them
- 14:26Speaker 1: play against some other big boys, like I need to
- 14:28Speaker 1: see Indiana vers Ohio State. Got to see them against Oregon.
- 14:32Speaker 1: That was a pretty solid one. Give me them versus
- 14:35Speaker 1: Ohio State. Penn State is longer part of the esche
- 14:37Speaker 1: line of teams in the Big Ten. Give me that matchup. Heck,
- 14:42Speaker 1: even Michigan. You know what, it'd be even interesting to
- 14:45Speaker 1: see them against USC right now. You know that that
- 14:49Speaker 1: give me some of that. You don't get much of
- 14:51Speaker 1: that though in the Big Ten. I think that's where
- 14:52Speaker 1: the big difference between the Big Ten goes with what
- 14:55Speaker 1: we get here in the SEC. But I digress. That
- 14:58Speaker 1: one's an interesting one. We'll see where that changes things.
- 15:01Speaker 1: That Texas A and M Missouri game though, goodness, Missouri
- 15:07Speaker 1: not having their quarterback going to their third string. That
- 15:14Speaker 1: one is that they they may not win any more
- 15:20Speaker 1: games for the rest of the year. That's a possibility.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Texas A and M really does look like a full
- 15:28Speaker 1: fledge squad right now.
- 15:33Speaker 2: It's Texas A and M. Yeah. I mean again, they
- 15:38Speaker 2: don't have their quarterback. I mean they've they've got you know,
- 15:41Speaker 2: the Zeller's kid, he's he's young. I think that Texas
- 15:46Speaker 2: A and M is walking. I means, as says, right here,
- 15:50Speaker 2: they're walking in charted, uncharted territory. But they got yeah,
- 15:57Speaker 2: they've got a lot of They got a lot of
- 16:00Speaker 2: of the LSU game, it should have been as close
- 16:06Speaker 2: as it was. You know, I'm waiting to see because
- 16:10Speaker 2: I you know, A and M's got a lot of
- 16:12Speaker 2: guys on offense, and but man, I will say the
- 16:18Speaker 2: QB just at times you're like, bro, what are you thinking?
- 16:21Speaker 2: Like there are some WTF moments on their team, and
- 16:26Speaker 2: so I would like to see it again at the
- 16:29Speaker 2: end of the year. You know you're gonna get to
- 16:31Speaker 2: see them, go go play Texas. And I mean if
- 16:36Speaker 2: Texas just smacks A and M, I'm gonna call fools
- 16:40Speaker 2: gold on A and M. Two.
- 16:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it's they're some of their best wins. Marcel Reed
- 16:45Speaker 1: has not played his best and in some games where
- 16:48Speaker 1: it's like because to me, the Arkansas wins not a
- 16:50Speaker 1: good win. I mean it was a they won the game,
- 16:52Speaker 1: it's all that matters. But forty five forty two, their
- 16:54Speaker 1: defense helped them. Uh, even though Arkansas offensively is absurdly talented,
- 16:58Speaker 1: but for two he just feels like, way too close
- 17:03Speaker 1: for even my liking. But you know, I agreed, you
- 17:07Speaker 1: know LSU game was, I mean, you finish it out
- 17:11Speaker 1: forty five nine, forty nine to twenty five, you close it.
- 17:14Speaker 1: But that probably shouldn't have been that type of game.
- 17:18Speaker 1: And you know Marcel Reeve was out there, you know,
- 17:20Speaker 1: he clocked in, he put in some work, but twelve
- 17:23Speaker 1: for twenty one, two touchdowns, two picks, and we know
- 17:25Speaker 1: LSU's defense when they're at their best there they can play.
- 17:31Speaker 1: But of course the he did everything. He ran for
- 17:33Speaker 1: one hundred yards to go with his two hundred yards passing,
- 17:36Speaker 1: so he did all the work. It's yeah, it's it's
- 17:40Speaker 1: there's a lot more to be desired out of Marcel
- 17:42Speaker 1: read nine right now, but he does enough to make
- 17:44Speaker 1: sure he doesn't lose games for them, and I think
- 17:46Speaker 1: that that, to me, is probably way more commendable. Think
- 17:49Speaker 1: he does what you want, and that's what you're looking for.
- 17:51Speaker 1: You you want to make sure that at least your
- 17:53Speaker 1: quarterback doesn't lose games for you. That helps to me,
- 17:57Speaker 1: that helps him overall because Elco's a really good defensive
- 17:59Speaker 1: guy and we're seeing A and M's defense for the
- 18:03Speaker 1: most part. Give you some games that are really good
- 18:07Speaker 1: over there, and.
- 18:11Speaker 2: You you haven't seen the clunker out of A and
- 18:13Speaker 2: M yet this year, and it has. As Gabe and
- 18:17Speaker 2: Teddy have been saying here recently, winning is a skill
- 18:21Speaker 2: and this is this is again new territory for them.
- 18:25Speaker 2: So but yeah, no, I mean, if you're a Texas fan,
- 18:28Speaker 2: you're more concerned about Georgia than you are. But against
- 18:31Speaker 2: A and M like you just again, that's there's so
- 18:33Speaker 2: many teams right now that it's like we are in
- 18:36Speaker 2: a prove it mentality. How many folks here Texas Oro,
- 18:39Speaker 2: you are worried about Texas Tech? Like none of us are.
- 18:44Speaker 2: We know what Texas Tech is.
- 18:48Speaker 1: It's fair.
- 18:49Speaker 2: So now is somebody in the ACC worried about Texas Tech?
- 18:56Speaker 2: Maybe because they don't know, But like, there's a lot
- 18:58Speaker 2: of teams right now that you're like, hey, listen, let's
- 19:02Speaker 2: see what happens. Let's let's see, let's see what it
- 19:04Speaker 2: looks like. And and let me you got it right,
- 19:06Speaker 2: you know with the strengthened conditioning coach from LSU. LSU
- 19:10Speaker 2: looks really weak and you add good strengths and conditioning,
- 19:16Speaker 2: you know, because again that's where Schmidy was before he
- 19:18Speaker 2: came back here. So we'll see what happens. You know,
- 19:23Speaker 2: this is why we have these these these conversations, Jay,

- 21:14Speaker 1: like you. So anyway, coop, let's look at the Let's
- 21:21Speaker 1: take a gander at the next set of games, because
- 21:27Speaker 1: I think the one that I think for the weekend that,
- 21:31Speaker 1: like I said, it has pretty good implications is LSU
- 21:34Speaker 1: Alabama for US Sooner fans because that score is twenty
- 21:39Speaker 1: to nine. Twenty to nine. LSU did the unthinkable, same
- 21:48Speaker 1: thing that Florida did that I did not have on
- 21:51Speaker 1: my being go card. They benched both their quarterbacks. Nuss
- 21:54Speaker 1: Meyer got benched for Michael Van Buren. As 'all may know,
- 21:57Speaker 1: he was a heavy target for the Sooners back when
- 22:00Speaker 1: Levy was the offensive coordinator, and as how he ended
- 22:04Speaker 1: up in Mississippi State and ended up leaving Misissippi State
- 22:06Speaker 1: going to LSU. He's their quarterback now because that's why
- 22:08Speaker 1: I got benched. And then DJ Lagway also got bitched
- 22:11Speaker 1: at Florida. We'll talk about that in a minute. But
- 22:13Speaker 1: tweeny to nine, it doesn't feel like a very impressive
- 22:17Speaker 1: score for that game to me, Coop. When I sat
- 22:21Speaker 1: down and watched it, I was trying to figure out,
- 22:24Speaker 1: why was it seventeen to three for so long? It
- 22:29Speaker 1: just felt like forever it was always seventeen to three.
- 22:34Speaker 2: Hey, this saint, this Saint the Juggernaut. It's nine to
- 22:38Speaker 2: six game from you know, several years back to where
- 22:42Speaker 2: you just have two just ridiculous defenses. Bama's got an issue.
- 22:46Speaker 2: They cannot run the ball. They I mean they when
- 22:51Speaker 2: when US Sooner fans were getting really really freaked out
- 22:54Speaker 2: about not running the ball earlier in the year, Bama
- 22:58Speaker 2: had that's that's where Obama's at. But even in a
- 23:02Speaker 2: worse worst case, I mean, I think they're leading rush
- 23:05Speaker 2: air like twenty one yards rushing and LSU's defense is good.
- 23:09Speaker 2: You you come off the coach firing, you know, it's
- 23:12Speaker 2: like that, yeah, that adrenaline shots after the death of
- 23:15Speaker 2: the coaching staff. But there's there's no there's no way
- 23:22Speaker 2: that that game should have been that way. It just
- 23:26Speaker 2: looks like LSU their defense. I mean, it looks like,
- 23:31Speaker 2: oh you last year, Jay, That's what LSU looks like.
- 23:34Speaker 2: A dead offense in a in a defense that's pretty good,
- 23:38Speaker 2: just trying to just drag the dead corpse of an
- 23:41Speaker 2: offense across the finish.
- 23:42Speaker 1: Line, which is crazy. And looking at the way Alabama's offense.
- 23:48Speaker 1: Alabama's has rushed for a thousand yards total this season.
- 23:53Speaker 1: We have given up seven hundred and forty two yards
- 23:57Speaker 1: rushing so far this season. That feels really low. Three
- 24:04Speaker 1: point five yards per carry. We're at two point four
- 24:06Speaker 1: to nine. They're barely getting over one hundred and ten
- 24:10Speaker 1: yards per game right now. It's not idea what they're
- 24:15Speaker 1: trying to do and be able to achieve. Now, I'll
- 24:18Speaker 1: give them this. I mean they're averaging four hundred yards
- 24:21Speaker 1: a game, and it's really all Ty Simpson. And this
- 24:24Speaker 1: is kind of my thing when it comes to tys
- 24:26Speaker 1: Simpson and his capabilities of playing Ty Simmons gonna throw
- 24:30Speaker 1: Ty Simpson's gonna throw darts. He is a accurate he
- 24:34Speaker 1: is a smart quarterback. He makes really good decisions. And
- 24:41Speaker 1: you can see the effect of Ryan Grubb right now.
- 24:44Speaker 1: This Bama team looks like Washington that went to the
- 24:50Speaker 1: National championship type ever since the Florida State game. They
- 24:54Speaker 1: looked just like that. They weren't a big running team,
- 24:56Speaker 1: but they were really good at passing. Michael Pennix was
- 24:58Speaker 1: basically cooking you throwing a and I always remember Michael
- 25:01Speaker 1: Pennix had no knees. He didn't have knees back then
- 25:07Speaker 1: because of all the injuries he had when he was
- 25:10Speaker 1: at Indiana or whatnotes that.
- 25:13Speaker 2: They look like it, not even as not even as good.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Because though I think that you've got you go back
- 25:24Speaker 2: to that Washington year. I mean that was a Joe
- 25:26Speaker 2: Moore Award winning offensive line where I can't remember the
- 25:30Speaker 2: cat's name at running back, but I mean, dude was
- 25:32Speaker 2: averaging still like one hundred hundred and fifteen yards a
- 25:34Speaker 2: game like he was running the ball well. And then
- 25:38Speaker 2: you had three NFL wide receivers and wide receivers and
- 25:43Speaker 2: you've got you know, Ryan Williams and Jeermany Bernard. But listen,
- 25:49Speaker 2: Ty Simpson is he is not going to be running around.
- 25:52Speaker 2: That's not going to uh, that's not going to happen.
- 25:55Speaker 2: But I mean you look at some of the the
- 25:57Speaker 2: offensive and again everybody I you know, not only I
- 26:00Speaker 2: dealing with the family stuff, but I got no internet
- 26:02Speaker 2: at the house, so I'm operating on a laptop of
- 26:05Speaker 2: my cell phone. So I'm not ordering Uber eats.
- 26:07Speaker 1: He's ordering Uber eats.
- 26:10Speaker 2: I wish. But you know, these are the conference games.
- 26:13Speaker 2: I mean, you have leading rusher forty six yards against
- 26:16Speaker 2: Georgia Vandy they got one thirty six. They really bawled out,
- 26:19Speaker 2: but they played, you know, with the good lead there
- 26:22Speaker 2: Missouri eighty five. Jeremy Bernard was the leading rusher against
- 26:26Speaker 2: Tennessee with forty nine yards. So when you're wide receiver,
- 26:29Speaker 2: it's like the Wisconsin score from this week where the
- 26:32Speaker 2: punter led the team in passing on one fake punt
- 26:37Speaker 2: South Carolina twenty six yards of the twenty one yards,
- 26:39Speaker 2: so I mean they're not not getting close to one
- 26:42Speaker 2: hundred yards. I mean they're literally they're hoping for fifty.
- 26:47Speaker 2: I mean they're opening for fifty yards and you're going
- 26:51Speaker 2: to it's going to be their passing game versus our
- 26:55Speaker 2: you know, our pass defense next you know this coming weekend.
- 26:59Speaker 2: But I don't know if you're a now full disclosure.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Did you did you look ahead to oh you and
- 27:10Speaker 2: kind of just chalk it up as a w for
- 27:12Speaker 2: this LSU game? Did they just do kind of bare
- 27:15Speaker 2: minimum like those things are still all always on the table,
- 27:18Speaker 2: but else you posed nothing as a threat on offense,
- 27:25Speaker 2: and you can you can you can say that Alabama
- 27:31Speaker 2: didn't have to press on the gas, they didn't have
- 27:33Speaker 2: to get creative. They could just literally show up. And
- 27:36Speaker 2: we talked about it last year a lot with us,
- 27:38Speaker 2: like teams just show up and they can just do
- 27:40Speaker 2: one thing and they know that as long as you
- 27:43Speaker 2: don't give the suitors life, then there's not going to
- 27:46Speaker 2: be any life on that offensive side. So we'll see,
- 27:50Speaker 2: we'll see, because I mean it's you're still going there
- 27:55Speaker 2: next week. Their their passing game is very very good,
- 27:59Speaker 2: but those portal transfers from Oklahoma. Jay, I don't think
- 28:06Speaker 2: that very many people are excited about Nick Anderson and
- 28:08Speaker 2: Bower Sharp anymore. Over an LSU country struggles.
- 28:11Speaker 1: Real right now. They weren't playing the Knicks. I think
- 28:15Speaker 1: is possibly done for the season. Unfortunately. I hate to
- 28:18Speaker 1: hear that that seems to happen to him. He gets hurt.
- 28:23Speaker 1: Bower Sharp had the fumble. I just it's just like, man,
- 28:26Speaker 1: it's pains me for the LSU fans that were talking
- 28:31Speaker 1: smack to us all off season. We gave warnings and
- 28:33Speaker 1: it seemed like sooners were giving out a lot of
- 28:35Speaker 1: warnings and nobody listened to us. But I digress that
- 28:38Speaker 1: Washington team that went to the National championship. And this
- 28:41Speaker 1: is why I said, this team reminds me of it.
- 28:42Speaker 1: Twenty twenty three, that team coop How many yards per
- 28:47Speaker 1: game do you think they averaged that year the Washington
- 28:52Speaker 1: That Washington team that Kaylin de Boor coached and went
- 28:56Speaker 1: to national championship? How many yards per game do you
- 28:57Speaker 1: think they rushed?
- 29:00Speaker 2: If rushing, okay, totally rushing, let's go with a buck twenty.
- 29:05Speaker 1: Nine, one hundred and eighteen. They were one hundred and
- 29:09Speaker 1: sixth in the country. It looks literally just like this
- 29:12Speaker 1: year's team spitting freaking image because Alabama is one hundred
- 29:16Speaker 1: and twenteth in the country and they're averaging one hundred
- 29:18Speaker 1: and eleven yards right about the same difference is they're
- 29:22Speaker 1: passing for a ton more. They pass for a ton
- 29:24Speaker 1: more yards at Washington compared to here. But again that's
- 29:30Speaker 1: where Tyer Simpsons is tough. Tom ty Simpson is out here,
- 29:35Speaker 1: like I said, he's throwing darts. And they are one
- 29:38Speaker 1: of the top offenses in because passing they asked three
- 29:41Speaker 1: hundred and forty three yards at Washington, but they also
- 29:44Speaker 1: had those absurdly talented wide receivers and this year they're
- 29:48Speaker 1: two hundred ninety one. They're fourteenth in the country, so
- 29:51Speaker 1: number two to number fourteen. This team reminds me of
- 29:54Speaker 1: Washington because I think the other thing that helps them
- 29:57Speaker 1: is their defense isn't awful. Their run defense is. Their
- 30:01Speaker 1: past defense is actually pretty darn solid. So anyway, LSU,
- 30:06Speaker 1: though man Phil bad for Frank Wilson, for the most part,
- 30:11Speaker 1: they look they look bad. You had to benching nuts
- 30:16Speaker 1: twenty two in the past gameing pass one hundred seventy
- 30:18Speaker 1: three yards. They only ran for fifty nine. Uh, Cayden Durham,
- 30:21Speaker 1: you want to come home? I know everybody keeps tweeting me,
- 30:25Speaker 1: tweeting that to me. Can we get Kayden Durham? Can
- 30:27Speaker 1: Kayden Durham pull up? He had three carries for four
- 30:29Speaker 1: yards in his game.
- 30:31Speaker 2: Hey, I do want to say this because I was
- 30:36Speaker 2: just looking. But the cat that they had at Washington
- 30:40Speaker 2: in twenty three ended the season with two fifty six
- 30:44Speaker 2: eighty nine eight.
- 30:47Speaker 1: So Hylan Johnson, Yeah.
- 30:49Speaker 2: Yeah, Dylan Johnson at least so they got their stuff
- 30:51Speaker 2: together towards the end, and we're seeing twenty yard outings
- 30:54Speaker 2: from from from Vamna. But but yeah, I mean, if
- 30:57Speaker 2: you're LSU, you know you look at like an LSU
- 31:01Speaker 2: you got to look at you know, teams like Miami,
- 31:07Speaker 2: Penn State. I mean, it's not that they just were
- 31:10Speaker 2: expected to be competitive and have a chance at something
- 31:14Speaker 2: great this year. These are teams that were like there
- 31:17Speaker 2: was a lot of there was a lot of people
- 31:19Speaker 2: that were like, I mean, Penn State was number two. Miami,
- 31:23Speaker 2: people like three weeks ago were like Miami might be
- 31:26Speaker 2: the best team in college football. Yeah, and the LSU
- 31:30Speaker 2: team is like, you know, early in the season. You know,
- 31:33Speaker 2: they were worried about starting to gain season off with
- 31:35Speaker 2: a win, and it's like, how do you take it?
- 31:38Speaker 2: You know, it's just plenty of some of the narratives
- 31:40Speaker 2: that we have in college football because you never know
- 31:43Speaker 2: what's going to happen. But Jay, I could promise you
- 31:45Speaker 2: one thing when you got if when you got a
- 31:47Speaker 2: lot of curiosity at your offensive line, any type any
- 31:52Speaker 2: team that had to replace what LSU had to do,
- 31:55Speaker 2: or any team just going forward, if your team is
- 31:58Speaker 2: replacing a buttload of offensive linemen and you got first
- 32:03Speaker 2: round draft picks going in and now you've got freshman,
- 32:07Speaker 2: you got transfer portal, like, you need to pump the
- 32:10Speaker 2: brakes on any expectations being too lofty because if your
- 32:13Speaker 2: offensive line is cheeks, so your expectations need to come
- 32:17Speaker 2: down quite a bit. Yeah, ABC, Oklahoma.
- 32:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it's exactly. It's gonna be the biggest challenge for Oklahoma.
- 32:27Speaker 1: And like I said, we'll break down that game on
- 32:28Speaker 1: Wednesday as we prepare for them, because the biggest thing
- 32:30Speaker 1: is going to be we need to focus on we
- 32:37Speaker 1: need to focus on running the ball down their throat. Okay,
- 32:41Speaker 1: there's a few more games to really talk about cause,
- 32:43Speaker 1: of course, Georgia finished business against Mississippi State that got
- 32:46Speaker 1: Texas this weekend. We'll preview them later this week. B
- 32:49Speaker 1: YU and Tech. Yeah, B to A Honestly, I think
- 32:57Speaker 1: that's really all that really has implications on us, because
- 33:02Speaker 1: I know that B WHYU is gonna drop. We'll look
- 33:04Speaker 1: at polls in a minute, go ahead, and then I
- 33:07Speaker 1: kind of want to talk about what BB said.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say also that that that Oregon Iowa
- 33:13Speaker 2: game yet again, I mean god, I mean, I don't,
- 33:19Speaker 2: I don't, I have no I have no understanding how
- 33:22Speaker 2: Iowa cannot just find a quarterback that can be I
- 33:26Speaker 2: mean help with Jackson Jackson Arnold. That might be his
- 33:29Speaker 2: only other place that he could transfer with be Iowa.
- 33:31Speaker 2: At least they would celebrate the you know, his production.
- 33:34Speaker 2: But I mean, how good would Iowa be if they
- 33:37Speaker 2: could complete afford pass check.
- 33:42Speaker 1: They be if they could do it consistently, Yeah, they'd
- 33:46Speaker 1: be a problem because Kirk Fansis defense is always up there.
- 33:49Speaker 1: It's just I don't think people realize how hard it
- 33:53Speaker 1: is to find truly competent offense in college football, Like,
- 33:58Speaker 1: for real, I've come to the conclusion that it's really
- 34:02Speaker 1: hard to find a quarterback. It's really hard to find
- 34:05Speaker 1: a schemer that can outscheme some of these defensive guys.
- 34:07Speaker 1: I mean, Iowa literally makes teams have to readjust their
- 34:11Speaker 1: entire game plan in order to win games. We've seen it,
- 34:15Speaker 1: and then we've seen other teams just struggle with their
- 34:17Speaker 1: ability to throw and all of it. It's crazy how
- 34:23Speaker 1: hard it is when when you're going up against some
- 34:27Speaker 1: of these defensive brains. It's bananas, Okay. Brent Venables earlier
- 34:31Speaker 1: this week talked about after practice we should be getting
- 34:38Speaker 1: healthier going forward. So we want to speculate who is
- 34:44Speaker 1: he talking about. Let's dive into it.

- 36:05Speaker 1: was it was after practice because it's bye week, so
- 36:09Speaker 1: he didn't have his weekly conference the week the conference
- 36:14Speaker 1: in preparation for game week, so he didn't have that.
- 36:16Speaker 1: We didn't have an injury report this week because of
- 36:18Speaker 1: course at the bye week and they had practice I
- 36:21Speaker 1: think Tuesday, maybe Wednesday, and I think they let him
- 36:23Speaker 1: lose Thursday the rest of the week to be able
- 36:24Speaker 1: to enjoy having a weekend. Heck, we saw Brent Vnables
- 36:27Speaker 1: hanging out in Clemson. Shout out to the Clemson fans.
- 36:30Speaker 1: They were they were in their fields because Brent Vnables
- 36:34Speaker 1: was tacked out in Clemson gear. He was on the sideline.
- 36:38Speaker 1: They were in their feelings. And I get it, I
- 36:43Speaker 1: want one hundred percent get it, because why wouldn't I
- 36:47Speaker 1: be in my feels about the official coordinator who was
- 36:51Speaker 1: out there, you know, helping us win natties. And now
- 36:56Speaker 1: our team is who we are right now? You get
- 37:00Speaker 1: you understand like I don't. It's it wasn't even bad,
- 37:03Speaker 1: Like they just were like, we miss you, man. And
- 37:07Speaker 1: this is kind of the picture that was floating around.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Of course he went there, he went to go watch
- 37:11Speaker 1: his son play because Tyler Venables is still there.
- 37:14Speaker 2: You know.
- 37:14Speaker 1: That literally leads back to all abrint Vnable statements of
- 37:18Speaker 1: I wasn't taking any kids from Clemson, I wasn't gonna
- 37:21Speaker 1: poach him. And this is not photoshopped, This isn't even
- 37:26Speaker 1: an open. This is literally him last night on the sideline, uh,
- 37:30Speaker 1: visiting yesterday, visiting his son and watching his son play.
- 37:33Speaker 1: I think this is his last year, if I'm correct,
- 37:36Speaker 1: I think I think this is his final year playing ball.
- 37:38Speaker 1: So I thought it was a cool moment, cool dad moment.
- 37:41Speaker 1: He got to be a dad for a change. He
- 37:45Speaker 1: got to be there and celebrate and cheer on his son,
- 37:48Speaker 1: something you don't get to do. That's the thing that sucks, uh,
- 37:52Speaker 1: is when you're you know, when you're a parent and
- 37:54Speaker 1: you work in this industry as a coach and you
- 37:58Speaker 1: have kids that are athletes. They can go play athletes,
- 38:01Speaker 1: you typically don't get see him play uns. They play
- 38:02Speaker 1: for you. And yeah, he got to watch his boy
- 38:07Speaker 1: go out and ball, so you know, he was all cheesing,
- 38:10Speaker 1: he was all happy. So they were in their fields.
- 38:13Speaker 1: But anyway, back to the whole point of this discussion,
- 38:16Speaker 1: is BV mentioned that we that they expect players to
- 38:21Speaker 1: be back healthy this coming week. We should get a
- 38:27Speaker 1: few players back. Cool. Who do you think you're talking about?
- 38:34Speaker 2: Do you want me to make you feel good or
- 38:36Speaker 2: do you want me to tell you the truth?
- 38:38Speaker 1: I never want you to make me feel good. I
- 38:41Speaker 1: want you to tell me the truth. If it's good, bad, ugly, whatever,
- 38:45Speaker 1: give me, give me the real.
- 38:47Speaker 2: I I think that we probably see the return of
- 38:52Speaker 2: some of our China Doll offensive linemen, you know, so
- 38:57Speaker 2: you're gonna get some adapt you know. I expect to
- 38:59Speaker 2: see Simmons back, Kobe McKenzie, probably a Jake Taylor, you know,
- 39:07Speaker 2: Logan Howland will be you know, hopefully full go. But
- 39:12Speaker 2: I don't feel too hopeful that we see our Mason
- 39:17Speaker 2: Thomas this week.
- 39:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of in the exact same boat, so
- 39:24Speaker 1: kind of for the uninitiated here, I'm gonna pull up
- 39:26Speaker 1: the last report we saw before the Tennessee game. These
- 39:29Speaker 1: were all the people you were dealing with that were
- 39:31Speaker 1: down right you lost. Keyantez was out, Troy every Jacob Sexton,
- 39:41Speaker 1: Jake Taylor's the three linemen there, Tatum and Javonte questionable,
- 39:47Speaker 1: with Kobe McKenzie probable, Logan Hollend with Logan Hollen coming
- 39:50Speaker 1: off the list before the game, and he ended up
- 39:52Speaker 1: showing up being a being being available if needed, like
- 39:55Speaker 1: he's a break in in case of emergency. Break the
- 39:59Speaker 1: glass got. But I do anticipate, like you mentioned, I
- 40:05Speaker 1: think the offensive line should be borderline short up. I
- 40:09Speaker 1: think Troy Evertt's the only one because I don't actually
- 40:11Speaker 1: expect Troy Evertt to be available until probably Lsu if
- 40:15Speaker 1: I'm being honest, that's about the timeline he had when
- 40:18Speaker 1: he hurt that other knee in the spring. Because he
- 40:22Speaker 1: hurt that knee in April, he was back in September,
- 40:27Speaker 1: end of September, early October. So he got hurt what
- 40:34Speaker 1: early September this year, so that means probably let in
- 40:39Speaker 1: November the earliest he'd be able to come back.
- 40:42Speaker 2: I think it was late in the Illinois State game, yeah,
- 40:46Speaker 2: which would actually be in August August thirtieth. So here's
- 40:54Speaker 2: I don't know if we see Vonte Barnes again this season.
- 40:57Speaker 2: I think we probably see some more Taylor, Tatum, Jantez
- 41:01Speaker 2: Dolby still working through some stuff. You know, if he
- 41:04Speaker 2: wants to be here, I fully believe that, you know,
- 41:06Speaker 2: the coach staff would would you know, let him earn
- 41:09Speaker 2: his spots and earn his playing time. I don't think
- 41:14Speaker 2: we see sext and I don't think we see Everett,
- 41:17Speaker 2: but it you know, right now, Logan Hall and Jake
- 41:21Speaker 2: Taylor like those are just hey, guys, we got some
- 41:24Speaker 2: depth and that feels good for you as the as
- 41:27Speaker 2: an offensive coaching staff. And then you also have guys
- 41:30Speaker 2: like Isaiah Audrey Dent who has technically been listed on
- 41:34Speaker 2: the scouting on the scout team so he doesn't have
- 41:37Speaker 2: to be listed on the availability report. But but yeah, so,
- 41:42Speaker 2: I mean you're going to have maybe a really good
- 41:46Speaker 2: offensive line, you know, group to to pull from. But
- 41:50Speaker 2: watching Ryan Foje the past, you know, game plus, I
- 41:55Speaker 2: don't think Ryan Foj has given up that spot.
- 42:00Speaker 1: Please, I hope. And I saw this in the comments
- 42:02Speaker 1: pe people asking the question about that. I want to
- 42:05Speaker 1: make sure that and Kyle you point this out very well,
- 42:07Speaker 1: and I started this because I want to point this
- 42:08Speaker 1: out as well. Do not mistake us talking about who's
- 42:11Speaker 1: returning back healthy for the next set of games as
- 42:14Speaker 1: people coming in to take jobs. Absolutely not. I do
- 42:17Speaker 1: think our starting five is solidified, but having additional bodies
- 42:20Speaker 1: there is always nice to have just in case. So
- 42:26Speaker 1: when it comes to I don't think Simmons gets that
- 42:28Speaker 1: spot back. I think Foge's got it locked up because
- 42:30Speaker 1: he played his best ball against Tennessee. Like PSUSSI was
- 42:35Speaker 1: the problem child. Unfortunately in that game. And I think
- 42:38Speaker 1: he's now getting past that ankle situation he was dealing with.
- 42:42Speaker 1: I think he's starting to He's each week he's gotten better.
- 42:45Speaker 1: He still has some struggles, but he's gotten better. So
- 42:47Speaker 1: but yeah, no, no, no, don't get twisted. We're not
- 42:49Speaker 1: we're not calling jobs.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Yeah, starting the same starting five like as at this point,
- 42:56Speaker 2: like you know, especially with Simmons, like you just want
- 42:58Speaker 2: to have him finish the year healthy because dude has
- 43:01Speaker 2: a decent history with the concussions, and so I don't
- 43:08Speaker 2: want to see him get you know, uh, I don't
- 43:12Speaker 2: want to see him getting a spots where you know,
- 43:14Speaker 2: it's it's up for you know, grabs that he never
- 43:17Speaker 2: plays football again. But I do say this has been
- 43:21Speaker 2: like this team is going to be the healthiest it's
- 43:24Speaker 2: been all year, you know, barring anything crazy happening. And
- 43:29Speaker 2: you know, knock on the wood there, but I think
- 43:32Speaker 2: that you feel pretty good about where you are defensively
- 43:36Speaker 2: and offensively over the past two games. And so I
- 43:40Speaker 2: don't you know, I don't think a good day in
- 43:42Speaker 2: practice is going to knock ex Rob off the starting
- 43:45Speaker 2: spot at running back or not Tory as you know,
- 43:49Speaker 2: the next guy up like those two guys are going
- 43:52Speaker 2: to be your bel coals going forward, unless we're gonna
- 43:55Speaker 2: blow out, and then you know, you may see a
- 43:57Speaker 2: Logan howl and get in, you know, for a rotation
- 44:00Speaker 2: every once in a while. You know, Ozida the same situation.
- 44:05Speaker 2: But I mean, I think that you're your your your lineup. Really,
- 44:08Speaker 2: the only change I expect to see versus Bama versus
- 44:12Speaker 2: the starting line up at Tennessee is probably seeing either
- 44:16Speaker 2: a Koya or somebody else as a starter for the
- 44:19Speaker 2: r m T.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Yeah, that's gonna be the question. And you're right. I
- 44:23Speaker 1: don't think our Mason Thomas is back this week. Unfortunately,
- 44:26Speaker 1: that was a quad pool, is what BV said, And
- 44:30Speaker 1: those things can be.
- 44:34Speaker 2: Can be.
- 44:34Speaker 1: They're not as bad as Hammy's, but it's still a
- 44:37Speaker 1: critical component of his game. So I don't expect our
- 44:40Speaker 1: Mason Thomas this week. But the good thing is you've
- 44:43Speaker 1: got Daniel Koye right there in the chamber. You've got
- 44:47Speaker 1: Taylor Wan, Marvin Jones Junior and who looked really good
- 44:51Speaker 1: against Tennessee, very good that and you've got that, You've
- 44:55Speaker 1: got a lineup of guys where the edgemin are are
- 44:58Speaker 1: good they're the room that I'm just like, yeah, I
- 45:01Speaker 1: ain't worry about that now. Of course, it is R
- 45:04Speaker 1: Mason Thomas, and he is a premier component of the
- 45:06Speaker 1: way this offense works. So yes, I mean his defense works.
- 45:09Speaker 1: So I would totally understand everybody's stress about not having
- 45:12Speaker 1: your best player out there to terrorize other quarterback. I
- 45:16Speaker 1: think we'll be fine with the way that these guys
- 45:18Speaker 1: go in this game, especially because you can use a
- 45:22Speaker 1: lot of You're gonna be using a lot of speed anyway,
- 45:24Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not stressed on that. But yeah, I
- 45:28Speaker 1: do not I hate it more for our Mason Thomas
- 45:31Speaker 1: than I do. Oh yeah, yeah, you know what I'm saying,
- 45:35Speaker 1: him more than he does us.
- 45:37Speaker 2: Now. I mean, this is just another game where he
- 45:39Speaker 2: gets to go up against you know, some really really
- 45:42Speaker 2: good talent, you know at their tackles and put more
- 45:45Speaker 2: film out there for scouts. But I mean, I think
- 45:48Speaker 2: our Mason Thomas people know who he is and know
- 45:51Speaker 2: what he is and he is just a dynamic playmaker.
- 45:56Speaker 2: But hey, I will say this is I think that
- 46:01Speaker 2: this game is going to going to be really really
- 46:04Speaker 2: good from a you know, from a coaching plan standpoint.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Jay you get the injuries. You know, you get the
- 46:11Speaker 2: injured people back ball control offense, and if we can
- 46:16Speaker 2: run ball control offense, and then that drives you know,
- 46:20Speaker 2: that makes them have to be more successful on the
- 46:24Speaker 2: other side of the ball because they don't get to
- 46:27Speaker 2: be in a rhythm. So, uh, you know, pretty excited
- 46:29Speaker 2: to see. Uh. You know, I'd like to see Tatum
- 46:32Speaker 2: get out there and get get a few STAPs too.
- 46:35Speaker 2: Maybe some two back sets. I'd like, you know, I
- 46:38Speaker 2: would like to see. I'd like to see a situation
- 46:40Speaker 2: where you put Tatum out in the route.
- 46:43Speaker 1: Yeah, I would like see Tatum and Blaylock out there
- 46:45Speaker 1: doing a route here or there with x Rob in
- 46:48Speaker 1: the backfield. I mean, ain't one of those three will
- 46:50Speaker 1: be awesome in a two back set. But I mean,
- 46:53Speaker 1: and Kyle, I see your question. Why so why would
- 46:56Speaker 1: they let Materier play and not our Mason Thomas make
- 46:59Speaker 1: that decision. Matier was clear by the doctors. Our Mason
- 47:02Speaker 1: Thomas ain't clear by the doctors. Yet that's the difference.
- 47:05Speaker 1: And clear by the doctors on that Thursday, I have
- 47:10Speaker 1: I have had a.
- 47:14Speaker 2: Like a very very like not terror but severe quad
- 47:17Speaker 2: strain before and you extend that one too far and
- 47:22Speaker 2: that turns into a tear and he's he's I mean,
- 47:25Speaker 2: he's not seeing the field again for quite a long time. Yeah.
- 47:30Speaker 2: Uh so I would just I would say that. I
- 47:32Speaker 2: mean there's there's a difference, like you can kind of
- 47:34Speaker 2: wing it with that thumb post surgery. But yeah, no,
- 47:37Speaker 2: I mean now I will say this, if he gets
- 47:39Speaker 2: if he gets, if he gets clear by the doctors,
- 47:42Speaker 2: rf T is gonna come play.
- 47:43Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, he's playing if the doctor's clear. Perfect example.
- 47:47Speaker 1: Oh heineke he's playing with the broken thumb right now. Yeah,
- 47:50Speaker 1: and y'all just watched him force the fumble that our
- 47:52Speaker 1: Maison Thomas took to the crib like he had a
- 47:55Speaker 1: bone sticking out. He's bleeding. One of those games. They
- 47:58Speaker 1: wrapped him up, I guess they pulled the bone out,
- 48:01Speaker 1: wrapped him up, and then he went back in the
- 48:05Speaker 1: game with that massive massive Uh he got that massive
- 48:10Speaker 1: club right now, specifically because he had the broke the bone.
- 48:13Speaker 2: So but no, look at Logan, uh a little bit
- 48:19Speaker 2: better depth at defensive end than we have a quarterback.
- 48:23Speaker 2: So yeah, we've got.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Yeah, as Jimmy points out here, we're pretty stacked in
- 48:32Speaker 1: that room plus and as people are asking wondering about
- 48:34Speaker 1: some of the other backs. Jaydon Ott's done his careers.
- 48:37Speaker 1: He's out after this year. He had he unless he
- 48:40Speaker 1: goes for a medical redshirt to leave, in which I
- 48:42Speaker 1: don't think he'll.
- 48:42Speaker 2: Get approve for him.
- 48:43Speaker 1: He's going to the league anyway. So he's gone. He'll
- 48:45Speaker 1: he'll try to get drafted late with combine numbers. That's
- 48:48Speaker 1: that'll be the focal point. They'll look at the first
- 48:50Speaker 1: couple of years wonder what happened. He'll give his reasons
- 48:54Speaker 1: and then boom, he'll go. But you you're not. He's gone. Kantest.
- 48:59Speaker 1: He's been down because I think he's been still dealing
- 49:02Speaker 1: with some residual symptoms after the Texas game because he
- 49:07Speaker 1: got he hit he had he had the situation, you know,
- 49:10Speaker 1: when he hit the wall. But he came back and
- 49:12Speaker 1: played in Texas and he got his bell rung again
- 49:14Speaker 1: in a Texas game at Red River and that's why
- 49:16Speaker 1: you ain't seen him since. And so it's more of
- 49:19Speaker 1: a that was a second time. This the third time
- 49:22Speaker 1: actually his season he got his bell rung and so
- 49:25Speaker 1: it's ay, we're gonna play precaution with the King. We
- 49:29Speaker 1: want to make sure that he's much better, but he's
- 49:31Speaker 1: out because of that, the.
- 49:35Speaker 2: Grant Calcata, the plan and effect right.
- 49:38Speaker 1: Now exactly, we need to make sure that he Gucci
- 49:41Speaker 1: and I think he'll be I think he will see
- 49:43Speaker 1: him home games. I can. I actually he may actually
- 49:46Speaker 1: come back this week too. Don't get it twisted. I don't.
- 49:49Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he found a way back
- 49:51Speaker 1: on the field for this week's game. So we'll see.
- 49:55Speaker 1: I don't think. Well, that's the thing is Keyante doesn't
- 49:58Speaker 1: have a rich shirt shirted before. He is a super senior,
- 50:03Speaker 1: so he ain't got no mo he he's done after
- 50:07Speaker 1: this year. He was already slated to be gone after
- 50:10Speaker 1: this season. Unfortunately, this he's played. He played at Wisconsin
- 50:15Speaker 1: two years, u c L a year. He was at
- 50:18Speaker 1: Southern Illinois for two years. He's he's a super senior.
- 50:22Speaker 1: So he's your final component of the COVID year babies.
- 50:28Speaker 1: So yeah, unfortunately we don't get our boy Keantes back
- 50:31Speaker 1: one more. I would I would love to have him
- 50:33Speaker 1: back another year. Like once he was getting going, he
- 50:35Speaker 1: became a great safety net four for our guy. You know,
- 50:43Speaker 1: vageometerion every year, so yeah, he but yeah, he's he's been. Yeah,
- 50:48Speaker 1: he's he's unfortunately completely done. I don't think he'll get that.
- 50:53Speaker 1: I don't think he'll get a medical red shirt, either
- 50:55Speaker 1: neither him nor or Jaydon.
- 51:01Speaker 2: But we'll be all right, I think back, I would
- 51:04Speaker 2: say I would say that if I'm the university, I
- 51:09Speaker 2: would say, Jayden, giants, we put your medical redshirt forms in.
- 51:13Speaker 2: John says, we heard a word back from yours, Jayden.
- 51:16Speaker 2: We're looking for yours. We can't quite find it, so
- 51:19Speaker 2: we'll uh, we'll see dang bro bro.
- 51:22Speaker 1: We don't know what happened. Uh, but uh, hey, good
- 51:24Speaker 1: look out there, you got it. I hate that. I
- 51:26Speaker 1: hate that I didn't work out. Man, that that that
- 51:28Speaker 1: would have Yeah, that would have been great if that
- 51:31Speaker 1: would work out. But hey, the good thing is we
- 51:33Speaker 1: finally got healthy x Rob and you got to see
- 51:36Speaker 1: what healthy healthy x Rob can do. Two straight games
- 51:39Speaker 1: one hundred yards rushing in and Tory Blaylock should be
- 51:41Speaker 1: able to hopefully add an additional hondo. Yes, uh, Jayden
- 51:45Speaker 1: Gibson should be back as well. He's he'll be healthy,
- 51:48Speaker 1: so you know if you go that's sorry Giovanni. Yes, Geovanni,
- 51:52Speaker 1: my po Gavanni will be back. J V. Gibson is
- 51:56Speaker 1: back next year. He is healthy, and they're gonna add
- 52:01Speaker 1: of course, you know, we're gonna do a lot of
- 52:02Speaker 1: shopping or whatnot to add not only pieces, but also
- 52:06Speaker 1: play our own players. I think it's the one thing
- 52:07Speaker 1: a lot of fans don't get about the way this
- 52:10Speaker 1: staff works. And it's more so because offense, there's been enough,
- 52:16Speaker 1: there's been so much shake up that it's tough. But
- 52:21Speaker 1: on defense, if you notice, we don't we're not playing
- 52:25Speaker 1: a whole bunch of portal dudes for the most part.
- 52:28Speaker 1: I mean, you're playing Marvin Jones Junior is getting some
- 52:31Speaker 1: good snaps, and in Kendall Daniels that's it, and Dominic
- 52:35Speaker 1: Williams there's your three that's on the defensive side that's
- 52:39Speaker 1: really playing snaps. Everybody else's dudes. They recruited. This staff
- 52:42Speaker 1: really likes their evaluations and their players, and we're seeing
- 52:45Speaker 1: the fruits of that as this defense is growing. We've
- 52:48Speaker 1: got to get to that point on offense. But I'm
- 52:50Speaker 1: gonna warn y'all now once again, I've warned y'all this before.
- 52:52Speaker 1: I hope y'all have been listening to me, preached this
- 52:54Speaker 1: to you because I've been preaching this sermon on the
- 52:56Speaker 1: hilltop for a while. The offense will not be as
- 53:03Speaker 1: stable as a defense because it's guaranteed the miniature offensive
- 53:08Speaker 1: coordinator has really good years, he's getting another job. Can't
- 53:12Speaker 1: do anything about it. Jeff Laby had two years here,
- 53:15Speaker 1: made this offense total offense like he was a top
- 53:17Speaker 1: fifteen efficiency and a success rate offense and raw numbers
- 53:23Speaker 1: they were top four in the country. He got a
- 53:24Speaker 1: head coaching job in SEC. If Ben Arbuckle turns us
- 53:27Speaker 1: around year two next year and they and we look
- 53:30Speaker 1: absurd on offense while still having this really good defense,
- 53:33Speaker 1: he's getting another job. You got him maybe three years.
- 53:36Speaker 1: The stability will be challenging because every other team in
- 53:40Speaker 1: the country, just like us, are looking for the microwave
- 53:44Speaker 1: way to make our team better instantaneously, and we're gonna imbrivitables.
- 53:48Speaker 1: Is gonna live on. He's not gonna be able to
- 53:51Speaker 1: be like Dabbo. He's gonna be searching for OC's, you know,
- 53:56Speaker 1: Jim nagant Stat's gonna be looking for OC's very very often.
- 54:00Speaker 1: The game's the game, go look at everybody else. As
- 54:03Speaker 1: OC's keep getting shuffled in and out, you start seeing
- 54:06Speaker 1: these coaches start to struggle more and more. Stability is gone.
- 54:08Speaker 1: But you're either gonna be unstable on offense or on defense. Honestly,
- 54:13Speaker 1: I kind of like that we're stable on defense though,
- 54:15Speaker 1: because that's gonna help us long term. But we'll see.
- 54:21Speaker 1: I mean, you got good recruits coming in, You got
- 54:23Speaker 1: Bo Bentley showing up next season, which is gonna be fun.
- 54:26Speaker 1: Michael Hawkins should be able to get himself to the
- 54:29Speaker 1: point where he needs to be, which is gonna be fun.
- 54:32Speaker 1: But as we look at this, I didn't want to
- 54:34Speaker 1: point out one thing.
- 54:34Speaker 2: No Coop.
- 54:37Speaker 1: Kobe McKenzie should be back this week, gonna be honest.
- 54:45Speaker 2: I know I'm with you, and I know we're.
- 54:47Speaker 1: Kind of wanting to say it one more week. I
- 54:50Speaker 1: want him to be one hundred percent when we play Missouri,
- 54:55Speaker 1: who we know will have to run the ball against US.
- 55:01Speaker 1: I need him to be one hundred percent for that
- 55:04Speaker 1: game to be able to run stuff like crazy. I
- 55:07Speaker 1: kind of want the coverage linebackers to play more against
- 55:10Speaker 1: Bama because that's going to be our biggest issue.
- 55:14Speaker 2: Who was the who's the who was the SEC defensive
- 55:19Speaker 2: Player of the Week last week. Okay, so he is
- 55:24Speaker 2: going to be uh he I mean, listen, whatever your
- 55:28Speaker 2: fandom says, the better covers linebackers are. Heinekee. He was
- 55:35Speaker 2: calling the plays and everything against Tennessee and that's no
- 55:39Speaker 2: shot at Kobe. But again, I, like you said, I
- 55:42Speaker 2: want Kobe back for the Missouri game, and I want
- 55:44Speaker 2: him to be able to to ball off that game.
- 55:47Speaker 2: I want him to be available. But I saw somebody
- 55:52Speaker 2: say something a few minutes ago, Owen Heineke is what
- 55:55Speaker 2: we thought Jared Knnock was supposed to be. Yeah, it
- 55:58Speaker 2: really is.
- 55:59Speaker 1: He really is. It's weird to say, but you're one
- 56:02Speaker 1: hundred percent right, as he's exactly who as he is
- 56:04Speaker 1: what you were thinking. Jaron Kannick was gonna be you.
- 56:07Speaker 1: But you're gonna need fast decision making linebackers and good
- 56:13Speaker 1: guys in coverage to make sure that things are a
- 56:19Speaker 1: lot tougher for Tys Simpson. Now, we did that well
- 56:22Speaker 1: on Jalen Milroe last year at the Crib. The defense
- 56:26Speaker 1: really stepped up. I think that we could do it
- 56:28Speaker 1: again because I think we have a good understanding of
- 56:30Speaker 1: not only Kaylyn de boor but how I mean, it's
- 56:33Speaker 1: a little different with Ryan Grubb now, but I think
- 56:35Speaker 1: we'll have a good idea. But I defended, like I said,
- 56:38Speaker 1: we'll break that down based upon the numbers and stuff
- 56:40Speaker 1: later this week. But when I'm looking at injuries, I
- 56:43Speaker 1: want Kobe McKenzie back good and healthy for Missouri because
- 56:46Speaker 1: I'm gonna need him to stop Hardy and the other
- 56:49Speaker 1: running back that they have that seems to be running
- 56:52Speaker 1: down people thought too, I don't. I don't want either
- 56:55Speaker 1: one of them to have a good game.
- 56:59Speaker 2: Yeah, i'd be good and your sound and your drops
- 57:01Speaker 2: and again we'll talk more about this later, but Kobe
- 57:05Speaker 2: is is one of the leaders. He can do that
- 57:08Speaker 2: just as well. I mean, listen, if he is healthy,
- 57:12Speaker 2: let's I want to see Kobe out there. Also, uh
- 57:15Speaker 2: this that they they seem to have those rotations good
- 57:20Speaker 2: and now also would rather have healthy bodies. So but man,
- 57:25Speaker 2: I just go went hind key like his his what
- 57:29Speaker 2: his output this year has just been It's just been crazy. Yeah,
- 57:33Speaker 2: I mean, I am so appreciative of him and and
- 57:36Speaker 2: he is uh doing it with a broken hand, still
- 57:40Speaker 2: just going out there and balling out, going crazy.
- 57:44Speaker 1: Going crazy. Yes, Sean answer your question, Do Zephyn is
- 57:47Speaker 1: still in this class that I've seen, y'all correct me?
- 57:53Speaker 1: If something's changed as of now? Yes, now what that
- 57:57Speaker 1: could that change? Absolutely? Uh, it appears that a lot
- 58:02Speaker 1: of running backs have been hitting us up.
- 58:07Speaker 2: Yes, as of late, there's and I will say that
- 58:11Speaker 2: is yeah, this he is currently here. But I mean,
- 58:16Speaker 2: I just keep it one hundred. Like, dude posted his
- 58:22Speaker 2: huddle film kind of just randomly the other day as
- 58:27Speaker 2: ou has had some folks who were a little bit
- 58:30Speaker 2: higher up on the valves hit them up, and so
- 58:35Speaker 2: I think that that's that's part. You know, nobody wants
- 58:39Speaker 2: to see that, but that's what's the uh Taj Overton,
- 58:44Speaker 2: you know, kind of in the middle of the Tulsa game,
- 58:46Speaker 2: he posted his huddle film and it was just a
- 58:48Speaker 2: few more weeks later. But uh no, Kyle Dylan Edwards
- 58:53Speaker 2: will not be on this football team.
- 58:55Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I don't.
- 58:57Speaker 2: I don't think that's that's that's not a character that's
- 58:59Speaker 2: not a character match.
- 59:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't see the Dylan Edwards piece happening. I'm
- 59:03Speaker 1: actually surprised he's leaving Kansas State, if I'm really being honest.
- 59:09Speaker 1: That was odd to me.
- 59:13Speaker 2: Oh the Spssia. Yeah, Messiah is a Messiah. Mickens is
- 59:19Speaker 2: the Penn State running back who is also pretty interested
- 59:24Speaker 2: in Oklahoma and vice versa. Also, I think that he
- 59:28Speaker 2: was pretty pretty close to the wide receiver that that committed.
- 59:32Speaker 2: And so we got a twenty seven running back over
- 59:37Speaker 2: the weekend too.
- 59:38Speaker 1: Yeah, that was an interesting one. I it came out
- 59:42Speaker 1: of nowhere, so I really didn't have time to really
- 59:44Speaker 1: dive into the film. I plan on putting the video
- 59:45Speaker 1: together some of the twenty sevens to break down what
- 59:47Speaker 1: that class is gonna look like, because Coop, it seems
- 59:51Speaker 1: to be that we're running into some really really nice pieces.
- 59:55Speaker 1: So as we speak abo that, let's go ahead.
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: Where the world is carbon San Diego are where are
- 1:00:03Speaker 2: these Where are these kids coming from? How many dudes
- 1:00:07Speaker 2: out of a certain state do we have right now?
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: Okay, preps, Yeah we're oh yeah them. Cali Sooners is
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: out there eating too.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: Man.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: Shout out to our board Stasy four that man is
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: out there. Yeah, he's decided to clock in for Oklahoma.
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: So sorry, Yeah, let's look at the polls real quick. Though.
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: We'll talk recruiting this week. I think it's a good
- 1:00:30Speaker 1: idea to dive into that, so let's do that. Thank

- 1:00:55Speaker 1: Poles dropped coaches poll right here. Has this is weird,
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: this is funny. I looked at the numbers. The coaches
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: voted us tied with Texas for number ten, so it's
- 1:01:06Speaker 1: like they can't decide who should be above who, which
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: I get totally understand. But that's your coaches poll right there.
- 1:01:17Speaker 1: We're tied for ten. So I have us at eleven,
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: mainly because Texas did win, and so I respect the
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: sanctity of head to head matchups, even though they typically
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: pick it based upon you know, the lettering. I respect
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: the sanctity of that. We are at number ten right
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: there in the coach's poll, which, like I said, not
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: too big of a deal. Ap Pole we are also
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: right there with them. I think we're tied with them
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: as well in ap Pole. So overall, Oklahoma still in
- 1:01:48Speaker 1: a very good spot right now. We're out of the
- 1:01:54Speaker 1: top we're out of the playoffs right now. But again,
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: as we've talked about before, when and you part in.
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: What do you think, Jake? The narratives that you're hearing
- 1:02:12Speaker 2: from this selection committee is just what it always has been. Hey,
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: this is our decision. This narrative is going to fit
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: this explanation, but then it may not necessarily fit this
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: other explanation. I heard that they had, well we have
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: I think it was Notre Dame. But you know, you
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: know they struggled earlier in this game. They were missing
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: their starting center and that's you know why they ended
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: up losing that game. And listen, John Matterier came he
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: played in the Texas game in Texas that it was
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: not it was not a close victory for Texas. I mean,
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: it was the decisive victory for Texas. That being said,
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: if you go towards the well, did his injury have
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: anything to do with it? There's that argument. Is it
- 1:03:00Speaker 2: like our two losses are to our rivalry and the
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: number six team versus Texas's lost to an unranked, uncoached
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: Florida team and then number one team. Yeah, and so
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: so the Texas fan wants to kind of negate that
- 1:03:20Speaker 2: portion where you lost to a Florida team and it
- 1:03:26Speaker 2: just it just is what it is. So but it
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: means nothing as at this point, like there's there's there's
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: you continue just to go out your ball out. It's
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: great for some hate watching. That's why we're all rooting
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: for Penn State this week. That's why we were kind
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: of all rooting uh, you know for uh for for
- 1:03:44Speaker 2: b yu And if you listen to the most recent
- 1:03:46Speaker 2: Oklahoma breakdown, gave tries to get in like who do
- 1:03:50Speaker 2: you root for? Who do your root against? This is
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: just the fun. It's good to be back in the
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: in this conversation, whether OU finishes ten and two were
- 1:04:00Speaker 2: nine and three, like we're going to be We're gonna
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: be in the middle of this throughout the rest of
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: the season, and this week is gonna matter. I mean,
- 1:04:09Speaker 2: you got Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Alabama both are six point
- 1:04:13Speaker 2: five dogs uh to the to the incumbent SEC teams.
- 1:04:20Speaker 2: But listen, I don't feel necessarily one hundred percent that
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: Georgia can beat Texas, and I don't really feel like
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: we I feel like we have more than a fair
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: shot of beating Alabama.
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: So I think both games this weekend is gonna be
- 1:04:38Speaker 1: really tough. Like I can't say that. Oh, there's a
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: definitive Georgia is gonna, you know, mud stomp them. And
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: you know, I am a Texas hater, one hundred percent, pure,
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: uncut down to my bones. Oh man, hate hate hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, hate.
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: But I ain't gonna be out here a lot of y'all.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: I'm obdated truth. I'm gonna be a hater. I'm it's
- 1:05:03Speaker 1: not gonna be gonna lie. I do think Texas can
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: win that game. It's gonna be tough, especially if Arch
- 1:05:08Speaker 1: is playing better ball like he is right now. That's
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: gonna be a challenging game for Georgia. They have not
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: looked like the Georgia defense that we're used to. But
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: the good thing is it's gonna be a fun game
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: to watch. So all we do, if we beat Bama,
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: depending on how we win, we probably pass everybody but
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: O miss Unlos And if Texas wins, then Texas will
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: be the only one ahead of us. I think that's
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: gonna be a strong battle, but I don't. But that's
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: kind of how I think it's gonna go.
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: Jay, I'm not gonna be mad if a couple weeks
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: from now, oh, you and Texas are up there in
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: those Georgia Alabama spots where it says Ohio State, Indiana, Texas,
- 1:05:58Speaker 2: A and m Ole miss Techexas, Oklahoma. Like that wouldn't
- 1:06:02Speaker 2: be too bad in your boys eyes, just because who's
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: leading the ou in Texas being led by their defenses
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: Alabama and Georgia being led by their offenses. Oh, how
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: the turntables have turned?
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Look at Oh how the turn tables? Exactly that that
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: could be a possibility, which would be hilarious too, because yeah,
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: I was told that wasn't possible, But that would be
- 1:06:31Speaker 1: very great, very crazy now that the bigger Questian is
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: going to end up being because I think A and
- 1:06:38Speaker 1: M is gonna end up an SEC championship game. A
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: and M would have to lose to South Carolina and
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: Texas to not play in that game. Yeah, that's exactly
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: how that will go. Texas would have to lose to
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: both Arkansas and Georgia and back to backs. We would
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: have to win every game going forward and Old Miss
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: would have to get upset by Florida. That in a
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: way puts us in the conversation of the SEC Championship game,
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: because then we also need Bama to lose. Actually, we
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: need Georgia lose too. Goodness, gracierus. Where's Georgia gonna lose
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: at They're not losing, nobody, George is good. Georgia beats
- 1:07:24Speaker 1: Texas and then they they're in the SEC Championship game.
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: George Tech. They got the Georgia Tech game.
- 1:07:29Speaker 1: That's non conference. That's a non conference game.
- 1:07:32Speaker 2: Oh well, okay, you see I'm saying, I'm looking at.
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: The conference games. There's a lot of stories. There's there's
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: a lot, there's there's a there is a path for
- 1:07:43Speaker 1: Oklahoma to go to the SEC Championship Championship game. But
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: it literally requires everybody else to do their job to
- 1:07:49Speaker 1: do things.
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: Yeah, and nothing to do with us again, raise your hands.
- 1:07:55Speaker 2: If you'd be okay with getting an extra bye week
- 1:07:58Speaker 2: during championship week and still get into the playoffs, like
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: you finished ten to two and you don't got to
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: play that game, you potentially host a game in Norman
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: round one.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: Yeah, you could. So here here's your path. And I
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: actually mentioned this on my morning after that I was
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: gonna put together I'm gonna put together another video just
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: to break this down separately, because I think this is
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: actually fun. There's only one path that I've been able
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: to find that really makes sense that leads Oklahoma into
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: the SEC championship game. We would have to beat Bama,
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: Texas would have to beat Georgia, and then Texas would
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: need to lose to Arkansas and aem and back.
- 1:08:42Speaker 2: To back games, and Ole Miss would have to lose.
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: To Florida and they can actually they could actually win
- 1:08:52Speaker 1: the game agains Mississippi State if we get into a
- 1:08:57Speaker 1: because the ways is calculated is if we get into
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: a one, two, three, four way tie at six and
- 1:09:03Speaker 1: two in conference, we end up at the top because
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: we have the highest opponent winning percentage.
- 1:09:11Speaker 2: I don't even brain right.
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Going through all of the tie breakers, Dog, it's been
- 1:09:17Speaker 1: racking my brains, Like I have been so confused in
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: looking at this, and I'm looking at this right now
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: like this is dumb, but it makes sense all at
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: the same time. When you have three or more teams
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: that are tied. They don't care about your head to
- 1:09:32Speaker 1: hit anymore. They care about winning percentage, about the opponent
- 1:09:36Speaker 1: you've played. And Ole Miss would be at the bottom
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: because there's half the lowest winning percentage.
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: And you know, maybe this is something we talk about
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: further down the road, but a lot of the candidates
- 1:09:51Speaker 2: of who we would potentially host in a Round one
- 1:09:54Speaker 2: college football playoff game, like I'm guessing that they're probably
- 1:10:00Speaker 2: going to want SEC teams to eliminate each other, and
- 1:10:04Speaker 2: I don't think that they're gonna spread those SEC teams out,
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: and so I mean you're probably looking at an OU, Texas,
- 1:10:11Speaker 2: oh U Old Miss or something like that. Game. Man,
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: It's just there's there's a lot, there's a lot of
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: football to be played because yeah, Texas can Texas could
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: end up in the SEC championship game or the Relyaquest
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: Bowl like Sokad Oklahoma. Like that's the that's that's the
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: great part about this time is there's there's a there's
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: so many different pathways, uh, you know, still on the table.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: It's true, so many, so many options, which I love
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: about college football. We've got so much fun, so many
- 1:10:43Speaker 1: fun things to talk about. So uh, I'm glad that
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: we got to see all of you great people. Just
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: see evening. I think we're going ahead wrap this bad
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: boy up, put bowls on everything.
- 1:10:56Speaker 2: Kind of like the Thunder are doing.
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: Yeah, think we be to a is of late too.
- 1:11:02Speaker 2: We well we when we started, they were down by
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: almost twenty points and they're about to win by double digits.
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: So just just absurdity. Look at you guys, look at us,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: Who the thunk?
- 1:11:17Speaker 2: And imagine imagine getting Texas Tech as year Round one
- 1:11:21Speaker 2: in Norman getting whatever a c C. I guess they do.
- 1:11:27Speaker 2: They they're doing the they're not doing the buys for
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: the conference champions this year. Right, it is the top
- 1:11:33Speaker 2: four ranked teams. Am I am I crazy?
- 1:11:42Speaker 1: No, I don't think.
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: So, hey again, you gotta go, you gotta go. We'll
- 1:11:51Speaker 2: talk more about BAMO on on Wednesday. But yeah, you
- 1:11:55Speaker 2: got to take care of your business because Haye, watching
- 1:11:58Speaker 2: only works if your teams gravy.
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah, hey, watching only works if your
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: team wins. So we've got a big one this weekend.
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: Make sure y'all are loud and proud for those that
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: end up in Birmingham slash Tuscaloosa. I will be floating
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: around there, and so please find your boy. Thank y'all
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: for pulling up at the light button to the chance
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: to describe rate review gives five stars. There's a question
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: in here that I thought was interesting because a lot
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: of people was asking the questions about the ACC will
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: close on this one ACC will get one team. There
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: is a possibility that Duke could play in the ACC
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: championship game. I'm looking at their standings right now, and
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: Duke is four and one in conference. The good thing
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: for Duke is being foreign running conference. They play North Carolina,
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: they play Virginia, North Carolina and Wake. If they beat Virginia,
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: there is a path for them to walk into the
- 1:12:56Speaker 1: uh yeah, for them to go into the conference championship.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: I'm gonna play around with that right now. See Duke
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: wins all of these games. Yeah, if they get into
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: a three way tie with SMU and Georgia Tech with
- 1:13:12Speaker 1: only one loss, Duke goes. That's crazy to me, but
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: they can, so keep your eyes open on.
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: That.
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: We had to talk about implications on that a little
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: bit later. So yeah, we'll appreciate it, and yeah, we'll
- 1:13:31Speaker 1: see you all on Wednesday. Pace
