- 0:17Speaker 1: Turner Glory podcast Hunters Are Bank on the Road free tag.
- 0:21Speaker 1: It's the Houston Christian preview pod for Saturday.
- 0:27Speaker 2: It's nine to eleven. We honor those that that fell.
- 0:36Speaker 2: You weren't ready for that.
- 0:37Speaker 3: You said the date and you're.
- 0:38Speaker 4: Like, oh, Ship was like, it's nine to eleven. Never forget,
- 0:44Speaker 4: Never forget. I think rememberance. That's funny. You straight of forgot.
- 0:48Speaker 4: That's hilarious. I totally did. And I looked at the date.
- 0:51Speaker 4: I was like, oh boy, and then.
- 0:52Speaker 2: You have to slip in the we honor those that's good.
- 0:57Speaker 5: I thought you've already give a speech.
- 0:58Speaker 3: I do.
- 1:02Speaker 1: It's it's early. It's an early morning. Still we're still
- 1:05Speaker 1: sipping the first few drinks of coffee. Uh Nebraska in
- 1:11Speaker 1: Houston Christian. Will it be sixty eight?
- 1:14Speaker 3: Nothing?
- 1:17Speaker 2: No, I don't think so either.
- 1:20Speaker 5: I'll tell you one thing. Our listeners may be ready.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Here.
- 1:22Speaker 5: We have three hours on Houston Christian coming up.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Yeah, that Dak was diving hard searching for stuff.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Quarterback named Deak. What's their starting quarterback?
- 1:36Speaker 5: I should I should have wrote it down.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Three hours.
- 1:41Speaker 1: You texted me last night and you said their quarterbacks
- 1:44Speaker 1: actually decent.
- 1:45Speaker 2: That was more than I did. You don't even know
- 1:47Speaker 2: his name.
- 1:48Speaker 6: That's what's what. That's what Rock said that he had
- 1:53Speaker 6: good stats.
- 1:54Speaker 3: Wrong, great, at least you credit it.
- 1:59Speaker 1: So I do think as far as the game coming
- 2:04Speaker 1: up here, I don't believe that the score is going
- 2:08Speaker 1: to be sixty eight nothing. Now, maybe it will, it'll
- 2:10Speaker 1: be great. It does look like Houston Christian wants to
- 2:14Speaker 1: run the ball a little more and potentially have longer
- 2:18Speaker 1: possessions for what they're able to get out of longer possessions.
- 2:23Speaker 2: I mean, bottom line, this.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Is one of those games that you just want to
- 2:30Speaker 1: check some boxes, you know, keep everybody healthy by quarter one, yes,
- 2:37Speaker 1: and you don't want to give them life anywhere and.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Basically move on to next week being three and oh,
- 2:45Speaker 2: in case.
- 2:45Speaker 3: You were wondering, their quarterback player is actually kind of good?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Is thirty two for sixty one with two touchdowns on
- 2:52Speaker 3: one interception for the.
- 2:53Speaker 2: Year kind of good?
- 2:55Speaker 3: Dangerous?
- 2:56Speaker 5: Better than who you're gonna ask you.
- 3:00Speaker 3: I don't know if that's true. Well, he does have
- 3:02Speaker 3: more yards.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Their head coaches in the second year. I do know
- 3:09Speaker 1: that trying to build a culture. They did take down
- 3:13Speaker 1: an AIA team and Arkansas Baptists I believe sixty nine
- 3:18Speaker 1: or to nothing week one, and then last week they
- 3:21Speaker 1: fell twenty to ten to.
- 3:24Speaker 3: Southern Eastern Kentucky.
- 3:26Speaker 2: Eastern Kentucky.
- 3:27Speaker 1: I was going to say Southern Illinois, some directional Midwest school.
- 3:32Speaker 2: So they are one and one and most likely going
- 3:36Speaker 2: to be one and two.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Like, this is the one game that I put as
- 3:40Speaker 1: one hundred percent chance to win going into the year.
- 3:43Speaker 1: I heard someone say that if there was a preseason
- 3:46Speaker 1: like line makeup line between Houston Christian and Aker and
- 3:50Speaker 1: act going to be favored by thirteen.
- 3:55Speaker 2: Put that in perspective, I mean, they did.
- 4:00Speaker 3: To team sixty nine to zero, you know, so they
- 4:02Speaker 3: can aggerented as NAI, which is kind of funny. I've
- 4:05Speaker 3: never really thought about. You know, FBS versus FCS, an
- 4:08Speaker 3: FTS versus NAI is kind of the same. It really
- 4:12Speaker 3: puts in perspective how low NAI is really. Not to
- 4:19Speaker 3: insult the NAI players out there, did.
- 4:21Speaker 2: You see their home field?
- 4:23Speaker 3: I did not.
- 4:24Speaker 2: They have a CBS like just off the corner of
- 4:27Speaker 2: their end zone.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Well, good for them.
- 4:32Speaker 2: They're gonna make money.
- 4:34Speaker 3: They're gonna make a ship ton of money.
- 4:37Speaker 1: I do think this is also like when I saw
- 4:40Speaker 1: on their schedule or on the schedule whenever we scheduled
- 4:43Speaker 1: them Houston Christian. It was the first team in a
- 4:46Speaker 1: long time that I had no idea who they were, Like,
- 4:50Speaker 1: actually maybe ever when the schedule came out, I looked
- 4:52Speaker 1: at the schedule and I said, who is Houston Christian, Like,
- 4:54Speaker 1: I've never heard of them, which granted they used to
- 4:57Speaker 1: be Houston Baptists, so maybe you heard Houston Baptist.
- 5:00Speaker 3: And they didn't have a football program until ten years ago, so.
- 5:04Speaker 2: That makes a little bit of sense.
- 5:05Speaker 1: And not sitting here to bash Houston Christian this whole time,
- 5:09Speaker 1: but I think Nebraska.
- 5:11Speaker 2: What we need to do. We need to still.
- 5:15Speaker 3: Build the momentum that we need to make those players
- 5:18Speaker 3: go and tell their ad never schedule that fucking team again.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up, because that was like
- 5:29Speaker 1: we didn't get to Monday was released Matt Rule and
- 5:35Speaker 1: his halftime speech when it was thirty three nothing against
- 5:38Speaker 1: Ackern in the locker room. If you haven't seen it,
- 5:43Speaker 1: you can find it. First thing I want to say
- 5:46Speaker 1: before we even talked to the content is Rule wanted
- 5:51Speaker 1: this to get out. Oh obviously, yes.
- 5:54Speaker 3: That was play just way too well to be a
- 5:57Speaker 3: oh I'm secretly recording.
- 5:59Speaker 2: This in one and wanted it to be publiic, like
- 6:04Speaker 2: as a head coach.
- 6:04Speaker 1: As we've talked about Rule's job as the CEO, marketing guy,
- 6:10Speaker 1: whatever you want to call him. This was strategic. It
- 6:16Speaker 1: was very targeted to get out there to the fans,
- 6:19Speaker 1: but obviously the players too with the message that was set.
- 6:23Speaker 1: So that being said, I mean, what are your guys'
- 6:27Speaker 1: thoughts the fire up raw ra up thirty three? Nothing
- 6:32Speaker 1: against Acker?
- 6:33Speaker 3: I mean it felt like a football coach trying to
- 6:37Speaker 3: keep his players from looking like dork's on the sideline.
- 6:40Speaker 3: I mean that's been an issue in the past where
- 6:42Speaker 3: people are goofing off and not focusing on the game
- 6:45Speaker 3: when it's supposed to be a you know, lesser opponent. Yeah,
- 6:51Speaker 3: I think that's all it was. I think that was hey,
- 6:55Speaker 3: look at hey, you know, hey, look at our program.
- 6:57Speaker 3: We're serious again. You know, don't think it was his
- 7:00Speaker 3: laughing stock anymore. And I'm sure he both. I mean,
- 7:04Speaker 3: he believes the message and I think he actually he
- 7:07Speaker 3: would have said something as similar but without a camera.
- 7:11Speaker 3: But you have to have the camera to get it
- 7:13Speaker 3: out there, so you know, the general public knows that
- 7:16Speaker 3: we don't. He doesn't see ourselves as laughing stock anymore.
- 7:21Speaker 6: I think I think he had this plan no matter
- 7:23Speaker 6: what the halftime score was going into it.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Oh for sure.
- 7:26Speaker 5: I mean that that camera is conveniently sitting there.
- 7:30Speaker 6: I it's good to against these lesser teams, to fire
- 7:36Speaker 6: for team, no matter how they're playing that the first half,
- 7:41Speaker 6: for the first core, especially they they came out and
- 7:44Speaker 6: Nebraska kinda didn't play with as much fire as they
- 7:47Speaker 6: probably needed to, and he probably was pissed about that.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Is that because he watched the game or.
- 7:53Speaker 6: Yeah, highlights? I have not watched the full game yet.
- 8:02Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:03Speaker 1: As far as the cameras go, I think cameras are
- 8:05Speaker 1: everywhere now. So I mean whether that camera was placed
- 8:07Speaker 1: there or not, but cameras are everywhere.
- 8:11Speaker 2: Here's the thing.
- 8:12Speaker 1: With with raw Rah football. Guy, get after speeches. In
- 8:17Speaker 1: order for them to mean something, you have to you can't.
- 8:21Speaker 1: You can't do them in every raw Row speech. I mean,
- 8:23Speaker 1: I guess maybe the really really good ones. Every time
- 8:25Speaker 1: they talk to the players it's ra rah rah rah rah.
- 8:29Speaker 3: And he can't have that speech this week against Houston Christians.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's very strategic times to do it. You know,
- 8:37Speaker 2: a lot.
- 8:37Speaker 1: The general person would probably think you do them before
- 8:40Speaker 1: big games or during big games, like those are the
- 8:42Speaker 1: you want to save your quote unquote best ones. But
- 8:45Speaker 1: for a guy like Rule, who is a preacher's kid
- 8:49Speaker 1: and talks like one, I mean he's got probably a
- 8:51Speaker 1: lot of them up his bag that he can just
- 8:53Speaker 1: spew off and it's gonna be really good.
- 8:57Speaker 2: This was a very unique time. I thought to pull
- 9:00Speaker 2: one out, and I think it's I think it's.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Very telling to where we're out of the program. You
- 9:06Speaker 1: mentioned the laughing stock of what we have been. Like
- 9:11Speaker 1: Rule knows and in this it's now or never and
- 9:15Speaker 1: it's year three year. Rural Rule knows it is this year,
- 9:20Speaker 1: and it's put up or shut up.
- 9:21Speaker 3: Time, and anything less than a wins the message falls
- 9:26Speaker 3: flat next year.
- 9:28Speaker 1: I think he identified that and knows that, and I
- 9:32Speaker 1: think this is kind of the plan. This is the path,
- 9:34Speaker 1: this is the this is the trek, and talk about
- 9:37Speaker 1: whether it's gonna work or it's gonna not. I mean,
- 9:39Speaker 1: it's gonna work or not. He doesn't really care what
- 9:41Speaker 1: anybody says about how this year is gonna go. I mean,
- 9:44Speaker 1: initially there are people that probably laughed it rules little like,
- 9:47Speaker 1: come on, man, we're up thirty three, nothing like we
- 9:50Speaker 1: really want to. But but there's a point of just
- 9:54Speaker 1: a mentality and just absolutely burying a team and having
- 9:58Speaker 1: that mindset. Now, so people say, well, why don't we
- 10:02Speaker 1: do this week one or year one with the rule?
- 10:06Speaker 3: Well, he can't do it year one.
- 10:07Speaker 2: You have to say that. He can't say it every year.
- 10:10Speaker 1: You can't say it every time, but in one you
- 10:13Speaker 1: have do you think you have the players and the
- 10:16Speaker 1: talent to do that?
- 10:18Speaker 5: You know you have.
- 10:19Speaker 1: You as a coach, you have to be thinking, Okay,
- 10:22Speaker 1: we got he knew we had the ability to do it,
- 10:25Speaker 1: so let's go do it. I don't know that we
- 10:26Speaker 1: have the ability to do it year one or last
- 10:29Speaker 1: year against UTEP even we won forty seven against U Tep.
- 10:32Speaker 3: And these are his guys that he's been you know, messaging,
- 10:36Speaker 3: you know, he's he's constructed the you know the this arc,
- 10:42Speaker 3: you know the story, the this is our constant message
- 10:44Speaker 3: for the last three years. You guys came in my
- 10:46Speaker 3: first year. You know we're the youngest team in the
- 10:49Speaker 3: Big ten. Almost everyone's his guy. I I mean there's
- 10:52Speaker 3: a few offensive linemen maybe holdovers from the Frost era,
- 10:55Speaker 3: but he yeah, you're right, it's exactly. He's like, I
- 11:01Speaker 3: know my players are they can handle this message now
- 11:05Speaker 3: and hopefully it translates to on the field success.
- 11:10Speaker 6: Yeah, you guys, you guys nailed the date in your
- 11:14Speaker 6: year one or year two, those teams probably couldn't bury acron.
- 11:18Speaker 6: He he expects more from this team, and that.
- 11:23Speaker 5: That shows.
- 11:27Speaker 6: He expects this team is gonna be really good and
- 11:29Speaker 6: great and they they should be out there bearing an
- 11:31Speaker 6: acorn and beating all these teams wrapped the jump.
- 11:36Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't necessarily.
- 11:40Speaker 1: Think that they're talking about Michigan or anything yet, but
- 11:44Speaker 1: but they don't want to lose any momentum and want
- 11:47Speaker 1: to keep building as we get to Michigan, knowing that
- 11:50Speaker 1: that is your next big game that you that you
- 11:55Speaker 1: gotta go win, and and that's the one thing that
- 11:58Speaker 1: we still I mean, I guess maybe Wisconsin last year
- 12:02Speaker 1: you consider a big game win.
- 12:04Speaker 2: Wisconsin wasn't great. I mean, maybe Michigan's not great, but.
- 12:08Speaker 1: You got you you got to get the mindset right
- 12:12Speaker 1: here in the next couple of weeks. When it is,
- 12:13Speaker 1: it's just it's very easy just to not try to
- 12:17Speaker 1: get one percent better every day, which is what you
- 12:19Speaker 1: want as a coach. It's very easy to have that
- 12:21Speaker 1: mindset when you're playing teams like this, and that's what
- 12:24Speaker 1: rules messages. It's not acceptable anymore. And the one thing
- 12:28Speaker 1: that I think really really really good coaches do is
- 12:33Speaker 1: they are on you every second, no matter every situation.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Obviously a Division one football program, it includes probably outside
- 12:44Speaker 1: of football as well, Like they're holding you accountable no
- 12:48Speaker 1: matter what and don't let you off that hook. And again,
- 12:53Speaker 1: can you do that year one? Coming into a new.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Program, it's a lot more difficult to do.
- 12:58Speaker 1: You want to get there, but you you take the
- 13:03Speaker 1: fine line of losing players early on. But once you,
- 13:06Speaker 1: like you said Austin, once you have the full message
- 13:09Speaker 1: after recruiting them or transferport on them, once they know no,
- 13:13Speaker 1: this is your guy, you're able then to kind of
- 13:18Speaker 1: control them a little bit as a leader and as
- 13:21Speaker 1: a coach.
- 13:22Speaker 2: So and I thought it was fine. I thought it
- 13:26Speaker 2: was good.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Do I want do Do you think we're gonna see
- 13:28Speaker 1: something like that every week? Absolutely not. But it keeps
- 13:31Speaker 1: the attention attention economy on the right message, the right thing.
- 13:38Speaker 1: I it's funny. I thought about this last night too.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Do you guys think Rule is just like this massive
- 13:48Speaker 1: like schemer of all this? You think he has all
- 13:50Speaker 1: this shit kind of like planned out in his brain
- 13:54Speaker 1: like I can I can do. And I feel like
- 13:57Speaker 1: as a fan or as a person doing a podcast,
- 14:01Speaker 1: like we're kind of like detectives trying to figure out, like, Okay,
- 14:04Speaker 1: what's his next move, Like what's he gonna.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Do next with building a program?
- 14:10Speaker 1: And I don't know, we don't know the answer, but
- 14:11Speaker 1: he I feel like he just is so calculated.
- 14:14Speaker 2: With everything he does.
- 14:15Speaker 1: But then it doesn't come off calculated. It comes off
- 14:17Speaker 1: very natural, very original. But I'm with you, I think
- 14:23Speaker 1: he does.
- 14:24Speaker 3: It comes with natural to an extent. Like we all
- 14:26Speaker 3: thought that that speech was happening in that halftime regardless
- 14:30Speaker 3: of what the score was.
- 14:32Speaker 1: I don't, yes, and no, I don't think any of
- 14:34Speaker 1: us after the game was if we didn't see a
- 14:36Speaker 1: video or know anything or hurt anything, we wouldn't.
- 14:39Speaker 3: I agree with that. But once once the video came out,
- 14:44Speaker 3: it's like, Oh, he had that speech planned, that video
- 14:48Speaker 3: he had come out, Like I think that that video
- 14:52Speaker 3: would have come out regardless of what the score was
- 14:56Speaker 3: or who we were playing.
- 14:57Speaker 1: Yeah, that's yeah, that's what's interesting and very well good
- 14:59Speaker 1: of like it very all could have been. We need
- 15:01Speaker 1: attention on Nebraska. We need to jack him up, no
- 15:04Speaker 1: matter what the score is.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Well, I mean the score was thirty three zero, like
- 15:09Speaker 3: if it was if they had scored it all, that's
- 15:12Speaker 3: an easy like they shouldn't scord if they don't move
- 15:16Speaker 3: the ball down. It's again the same message of put
- 15:19Speaker 3: them away. We have too many mistakes.
- 15:23Speaker 6: So it seems like this year especially, he's really trying
- 15:27Speaker 6: to cut the focus on Nebraska, doing all these podcast
- 15:30Speaker 6: MacFee show all that.
- 15:32Speaker 3: That's just because of the playoff format people reckon. He
- 15:35Speaker 3: wants people to notice us and there'd be some some
- 15:38Speaker 3: buzz around the brand when it comes time, because he
- 15:41Speaker 3: thinks we're gonna be a positioned to get, you know,
- 15:43Speaker 3: slide into the twelve twelve through ten spot probably and
- 15:47Speaker 3: if you're if you're an uninteresting brand or an underesting
- 15:50Speaker 3: team when no one really knows what's going on or
- 15:52Speaker 3: what the story is, it's like we'll just throw a
- 15:54Speaker 3: ten and two Alabama in there.
- 15:56Speaker 6: Which again comes back to he believes that this team
- 15:59Speaker 6: is actually going to be really get.
- 16:02Speaker 5: This first two years.
- 16:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he thinks he could win every game
- 16:05Speaker 3: on the schedule except maybe Defense State.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Well, I saw too an updated remember if it was
- 16:12Speaker 1: the f p I from ESPN or someone else. But
- 16:14Speaker 1: we're favored to win in every game now except for
- 16:17Speaker 1: the two that I saw that we aren't at Penn State.
- 16:20Speaker 2: And then I think.
- 16:21Speaker 1: USC was the other one that that their metric didn't
- 16:24Speaker 1: have us winning.
- 16:25Speaker 3: I thought Michigan was still favored by like two and
- 16:28Speaker 3: a half.
- 16:28Speaker 1: Well, this was this was a This wasn't a this
- 16:32Speaker 1: wasn't a Vegas odds line. It was a it was
- 16:35Speaker 1: a metric power index, something that gave us a percentage
- 16:39Speaker 1: chance to win.
- 16:40Speaker 2: So again, you you win the game you're supposed to win.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Ten and two is not unrealistic and pushing the plant. Well,
- 16:49Speaker 1: what's funny about that, guys, is it's not like we
- 16:54Speaker 1: done through two games anything really different than what was
- 16:59Speaker 1: expected going end of the year.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Right, I got to be a tight game again in Cincinnati,
- 17:05Speaker 3: and and.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Maybe that goes the opposite way, right, maybe that game
- 17:10Speaker 1: was maybe not as good as people wanted it to be.
- 17:13Speaker 1: And then you go into Accor and you beat them,
- 17:15Speaker 1: probably more than I thought was gonna happen. So what's
- 17:19Speaker 1: funny is now talk about the hype. You are pretty excited.
- 17:26Speaker 1: The one thing to kind of hold you in check
- 17:28Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think it's rightfully so. Polls
- 17:32Speaker 1: right now are they don't. They didn't move as much
- 17:35Speaker 1: as far as people giving us votes eight people coaches
- 17:40Speaker 1: bull like, we're still sitting in that mid mid to
- 17:43Speaker 1: upper thirty mark is if you're counting out the votes,
- 17:46Speaker 1: and I think that's rightfully so. I we still have
- 17:50Speaker 1: to win a big game. And some people are saying, well, man,
- 17:56Speaker 1: we could be we're gonna beat Michigan or better team
- 17:58Speaker 1: than Michigan.
- 18:00Speaker 2: I'm I'm not going there yet.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Like I'm letting you know right now, I'll put money
- 18:03Speaker 3: on Michigan other points before it moves.
- 18:07Speaker 1: And I well do again, there's a difference between what
- 18:12Speaker 1: you want to happen what you think is going to happen,
- 18:14Speaker 1: right say, very for me with Cincinnati, I did not
- 18:19Speaker 1: think we were gonna win that game because we just
- 18:20Speaker 1: have not shown to win that game. Now I wanted
- 18:23Speaker 1: us to win so badly. Same thing with Michigan. It
- 18:28Speaker 1: it's going to be incredible but we.
- 18:32Speaker 2: We couldn't do it. We definitely could and it wasn't
- 18:34Speaker 2: not impossible.
- 18:35Speaker 3: But yeah, look at those we're already looking ahead. How
- 18:40Speaker 3: do we expect the football team to not look ahead?
- 18:42Speaker 5: I was looking at the TV right there. All right,
- 18:44Speaker 5: let's jump into Michigan.
- 18:46Speaker 1: I was looking ahead August twenty weeks.
- 18:52Speaker 2: So what do we want to see? I guess this week?
- 18:55Speaker 1: You know, I think a lot of this stuff is
- 18:56Speaker 1: similar to what we saw last week.
- 18:58Speaker 5: But what.
- 19:00Speaker 3: One Mosy man? I want to see some more Mosey.
- 19:06Speaker 3: So if we could, what I would like to see
- 19:09Speaker 3: is this. Have I suspect that we'll pull our starters
- 19:12Speaker 3: sooner than we did last week? I think last week
- 19:17Speaker 3: was the we're gonna stomp on their throat, We're gonna
- 19:21Speaker 3: keep our starters intil I mean it's basically three minutes
- 19:24Speaker 3: left in the third and is that right? I suspect
- 19:29Speaker 3: we'll probably pull them in the first half, maybe the
- 19:31Speaker 3: first drive of the second half.
- 19:33Speaker 2: And you're mentioned in Mosy. I mean McKay nelson still
- 19:36Speaker 2: listed a number two.
- 19:37Speaker 3: I know that's not who I want to see. You
- 19:39Speaker 3: said what I want to see. I don't care about
- 19:40Speaker 3: mkay Nelson. I want more Luke Lindenmeyer more Mosey.
- 19:46Speaker 6: I I wanted to see a fast start. This set
- 19:50Speaker 6: up perfect for a slow start out of the gate
- 19:52Speaker 6: eleven am kickoff against the We'll just say awful team
- 19:59Speaker 6: come out and be out twenty to thirty thirty nothing
- 20:03Speaker 6: in the first quarter.
- 20:05Speaker 3: I don't want to say they're an awful team because
- 20:07Speaker 3: they're in the division below us. You know, it seems
- 20:09Speaker 3: a little insulting.
- 20:11Speaker 2: They would feeling they're going to look very, very small.
- 20:15Speaker 5: They've never had a winning season since during D one.
- 20:18Speaker 1: You're not wrong, like Akron, at least can get some
- 20:23Speaker 1: bodies to maybe maybe they're not great bodies, but bodies
- 20:26Speaker 1: to maybe look like a Division one team. I just
- 20:29Speaker 1: remember Bethune Cookman from a few years ago. I'm not
- 20:32Speaker 1: saying they're that. Maybe they are, maybe they're worse.
- 20:34Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 20:35Speaker 3: Their quarterback has a Mississippi State jersey on and his
- 20:39Speaker 3: picture on ESPN.
- 20:41Speaker 5: Maybe from there that's that's the guy. I said. It's good.
- 20:46Speaker 1: I'm hoping here what I want to see Two things.
- 20:50Speaker 1: One's kind of funny but true. First thing, just look sharp,
- 20:56Speaker 1: don't look careless with the ball. I agree. I think
- 20:59Speaker 1: the message of can we blow a team out? Yes,
- 21:03Speaker 1: we've done it, we achieved it. I don't think we
- 21:06Speaker 1: need to do it again. And you know what, maybe
- 21:08Speaker 1: I'm wrong with that. Maybe Real is gonna come out
- 21:09Speaker 1: and have the same message and say, huh huh, do
- 21:12Speaker 1: the same thing two weeks.
- 21:12Speaker 2: In a row. That very well could happen to.
- 21:16Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it probably should happened, but I
- 21:19Speaker 1: don't think that's probably gonna happen.
- 21:21Speaker 2: I think we think with.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Correct and I just hope we look sharp like we
- 21:30Speaker 1: don't don't come out and do something like I don't
- 21:32Speaker 1: want to see a fumble inside the five again. You know,
- 21:34Speaker 1: it didn't cost us anything, but I don't you know,
- 21:36Speaker 1: you don't want to see something like that.
- 21:38Speaker 2: Yeah, obvious, you don't want to see any any other turnovers.
- 21:41Speaker 1: It'd be nice to see more pressure on the defensive
- 21:44Speaker 1: side of the ball, maybe before we see a couple turnovers.
- 21:47Speaker 2: But I don't think that's the end all be all.
- 21:49Speaker 1: You know, special teams continue just to look sharp, you know,
- 21:53Speaker 1: no no fumbled snap, bad snaps, shanked.
- 21:57Speaker 2: Punts, missed field goals.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Hopefully we're not kicking many field goals, so that's the
- 22:03Speaker 1: one thing that you know you're looking to see number two,
- 22:07Speaker 1: nobody get fricking hurt.
- 22:09Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, knock on wood again like that.
- 22:12Speaker 1: I mean that above all, that's and however, you got
- 22:16Speaker 1: to do that from a substitution standpoint, keeping guys fresh.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Obviously some things are fluke, but in a game like this,
- 22:23Speaker 1: you you don't want to lose a key player anywhere
- 22:26Speaker 1: on the field after and you know we didn't. But
- 22:30Speaker 1: sometimes in any sport, sometimes when you're playing lesser opponents,
- 22:35Speaker 1: just weirder things happen because you're in positions that you
- 22:38Speaker 1: aren't normally are a game or practice, and things happened
- 22:43Speaker 1: that quit ya on it over there, yawn and talking
- 22:47Speaker 1: about Houston Christian not allowed.
- 22:50Speaker 5: So I was young, go big red i' mus and muted.
- 22:55Speaker 2: Anyways, that's to me.
- 22:56Speaker 1: I guess A very important thing too is just just
- 22:58Speaker 1: stay healthy, stay.
- 22:59Speaker 2: Fresh going into Michigan week next week.
- 23:07Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't disagree with any of that. I don't.
- 23:10Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, what else do you want to see?
- 23:13Speaker 3: I don't want to see a good game, you know,
- 23:15Speaker 3: that's really you know, I want to see. You're right,
- 23:18Speaker 3: we've I mean, we've been very efficient passing. I don't
- 23:22Speaker 3: expect that to stop. It won't be a shoutout.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Question mark, like get him going a little bit early.
- 23:30Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, that'd be nice. I don't think we'll
- 23:34Speaker 3: see it.
- 23:36Speaker 1: I I'm interested to understand where his brain's at, where
- 23:42Speaker 1: his mind's at.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Through two games, he's I mean, he's essentially been the
- 23:46Speaker 3: third the third receiver. Yeah maybe maybe, I don't know
- 23:54Speaker 3: if I won't put him.
- 23:55Speaker 1: After Luke like, but but he's a senior, he's the
- 24:02Speaker 1: older veteran of the group because Luke Kennys to the
- 24:05Speaker 1: tight ends. I don't know anything about personality. I haven't
- 24:09Speaker 1: heard him really to I don't I don't know what
- 24:11Speaker 1: he's like. I be a little bit harder. But if
- 24:14Speaker 1: he's a team guy, you know all that, it doesn't matter.
- 24:17Speaker 1: I guess I'm just curious what is where he's at,
- 24:21Speaker 1: because he's a guy you need, you need, you need him,
- 24:23Speaker 1: you need him for twelve games this year.
- 24:25Speaker 2: And I'm not saying that he's upset and ready to
- 24:28Speaker 2: be done. I'm not saying that.
- 24:29Speaker 1: But you just wonder where his brain's at after being
- 24:32Speaker 1: the quote unquote supposed to be guy.
- 24:35Speaker 2: I know, Austin, you and Dak might have been a
- 24:37Speaker 2: little bit lower, higher on other guys. I guess you're
- 24:41Speaker 2: not lower on him, but higher on other guys.
- 24:43Speaker 1: My eye was very high on Dame Key, and for
- 24:46Speaker 1: the first two games he hasn't done a whole lot,
- 24:49Speaker 1: so we'll see.
- 24:50Speaker 3: At this point, I feel a little validated, just because
- 24:52Speaker 3: every year we had a big wide receiver chancefer coming
- 24:55Speaker 3: and you're always like, I got to see it on
- 24:57Speaker 3: the field before I elevate him, and the day think
- 25:00Speaker 3: he comes in here like this guy's a freaking dude.
- 25:02Speaker 2: I still think he is.
- 25:03Speaker 1: I still think he is, and I think I think
- 25:05Speaker 1: last game Dylan was trying to get him the ball
- 25:07Speaker 1: when he knew he was then as part of good
- 25:11Speaker 1: being a good quarterback too, you know, especially you watch
- 25:14Speaker 1: the NFL games and announcers talk about quarterbacks getting certain
- 25:18Speaker 1: guys the ball, or the guys that might be frustrated,
- 25:22Speaker 1: maybe dropped the pass, they go right back to him,
- 25:23Speaker 1: get their confidence up.
- 25:24Speaker 2: Like I think Dylan's going to try to.
- 25:26Speaker 3: It's gonna get spread around a little bit more of
- 25:28Speaker 3: this game than the last game. I think, and dink
- 25:32Speaker 3: he is a team captain, he was going to team captain.
- 25:35Speaker 3: So I don't think that he's probably in a headspace
- 25:39Speaker 3: right now where he's frustrated with his role because we're
- 25:41Speaker 3: only two games in and one of the games we
- 25:43Speaker 3: won by sixty nine to zero.
- 25:45Speaker 2: And I was in the first game. He had some
- 25:46Speaker 2: big catches.
- 25:47Speaker 3: You know, he wasn't the leading receiver, but he had
- 25:50Speaker 3: big third down conversions. So he's probably fine. But yeah,
- 25:56Speaker 3: you're you're probably not wrong. Dylan's probably gonna try.
- 25:59Speaker 6: To get him going on the On the flip side though, yeah,
- 26:02Speaker 6: Yankey isn't as much, but you have to be super
- 26:05Speaker 6: impressed with how and Isaiah Hunter has played so far,
- 26:09Speaker 6: like you as expecting that coming in.
- 26:13Speaker 2: He's very much like an all around receiver two.
- 26:15Speaker 1: Like, yes, I completely agree, that's a guy that has
- 26:20Speaker 1: been very impressive through two games.
- 26:23Speaker 5: Yeah, he might be your number two now. I don't know.
- 26:24Speaker 5: Maybe maybe Dankey's moved that thirst five. Who knows, it's only.
- 26:28Speaker 3: Two games in.
- 26:29Speaker 5: Yeah, you don't blow out.
- 26:32Speaker 1: I mean this is how I think of like a
- 26:34Speaker 1: depth chart and a like when you think about it
- 26:37Speaker 1: from a fantasy NFL perspective. I still have Dame Key one,
- 26:40Speaker 1: Isaiah hundred, Cord Barney three, Like I just I just
- 26:42Speaker 1: think of it when it.
- 26:44Speaker 3: Came down and when it came down to like important
- 26:47Speaker 3: plays in the game against Cincinnati, Dylan looked to Dame.
- 26:51Speaker 1: Yeah, like I still view it like a Jamar Chase
- 26:54Speaker 1: T Higgins Tyler Boyd I mentioned on a previous episode,
- 26:57Speaker 1: like I still view it that way.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Not so much. Who's our number one? Like those three
- 27:03Speaker 2: guys are gonna there.
- 27:04Speaker 5: There are receivers and.
- 27:05Speaker 2: Then you got Luke who nobody saw that coming. Really tell.
- 27:12Speaker 5: This is team lukeland Myer might be able to out run.
- 27:14Speaker 2: Though he doesn't want one. I want him to go
- 27:18Speaker 2: through people.
- 27:19Speaker 3: Yeah, he doesn't have to run hits them.
- 27:24Speaker 6: Speaking injuries, he's the Christians be coming in like, oh god,
- 27:26Speaker 6: we are going to have nobody left after this game.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 27:30Speaker 3: We're not that big and physical.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Especially on the deep at the side of the ball,
- 27:35Speaker 1: like we're not. There's no Nash or tie like right
- 27:39Speaker 1: where you got.
- 27:40Speaker 3: Much more physical. I mean we're physical in the you know,
- 27:43Speaker 3: in the secondary, which isn't that you know, like are
- 27:46Speaker 3: tackling is it? It's you're not going to catch the
- 27:50Speaker 3: ball because our guys are on you kind of speed game,
- 27:52Speaker 3: not a once you catch the ball, you're gonna lose
- 27:55Speaker 3: it because we're going to pop you so hard.
- 27:59Speaker 6: I mean, the the main position I think, and it
- 28:02Speaker 6: might be what everybody is looking for is a Dean
- 28:03Speaker 6: line here. You got to get some pressure against Houston
- 28:06Speaker 6: Christian here if not. If not, that's really scary going
- 28:12Speaker 6: into Michigan.
- 28:13Speaker 2: Yes, no, I don't want to show.
- 28:18Speaker 1: Stunt blitzes and stuff this game. Like I want to
- 28:23Speaker 1: be very base rush And yes, I agree, probably should
- 28:26Speaker 1: still be getting pressure with our base rushes, but I
- 28:30Speaker 1: I if we don't have three sacks, I'm not going
- 28:34Speaker 1: to be like distraught about it. I don't think we
- 28:37Speaker 1: want to give Michigan a whole lot to look.
- 28:39Speaker 2: At on film because I don't think we did a
- 28:42Speaker 2: great job against Cincinnati.
- 28:43Speaker 1: Everybody knows that right of pressureing and containing the quarterback,
- 28:48Speaker 1: and so Michigan might not have a great clue on
- 28:50Speaker 1: how we're going to do that, what our what our
- 28:52Speaker 1: counters are too doing that, and that's going to be
- 28:57Speaker 1: an unknown going into the Michigan game. So I don't
- 28:59Speaker 1: think we want to. I don't think we gotta get
- 29:03Speaker 1: too complex on either side of the ball this week.
- 29:05Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to I do think, you know,
- 29:10Speaker 1: Michigan's still friend of mine, even though it might not
- 29:13Speaker 1: be explicitly practicing for them. That that that that's the game,
- 29:17Speaker 1: that's the big circle coming up here in a week
- 29:19Speaker 1: and a half.
- 29:23Speaker 3: What else can we say about the Houston Christian game.
- 29:25Speaker 2: I don't got much.
- 29:26Speaker 1: My other only other thought was are they here's here's
- 29:30Speaker 1: what I'm setting. I'm setting their total points at six.
- 29:32Speaker 2: And a half. Are you taking the over or under?
- 29:34Speaker 3: Oh god, I'll take the oh yeah over. I think
- 29:40Speaker 3: the core ten I said, I think our second our
- 29:43Speaker 3: backups and third stringers see the field earlier, which leaves
- 29:48Speaker 3: a little more room for one fluke touchdown play.
- 29:53Speaker 1: I mean, in theory, are backups accron too, but they
- 29:56Speaker 1: should be a lot better, a lot even bigger, yeah,
- 30:00Speaker 1: up right than their backups.
- 30:02Speaker 2: I guess they might keep their starters.
- 30:04Speaker 3: Their starters will be in so I just think it's
- 30:07Speaker 3: gonna be like a one blown coverage or that's gonna
- 30:12Speaker 3: be like there's gonna be one forty yard pass play
- 30:15Speaker 3: that results in a touchdown.
- 30:18Speaker 6: I mean, you don't want it's what I would like
- 30:21Speaker 6: to see. I want to want the Stars playing it
- 30:24Speaker 6: all in the second half, Like just really blowl doors,
- 30:26Speaker 6: blow the doors off on the first half enough to
- 30:28Speaker 6: where you don't have to play the second half and
- 30:31Speaker 6: don't worry about injuries or anything like that.
- 30:34Speaker 5: Just get out and move on to Michigan.
- 30:38Speaker 2: Score prediction.
- 30:41Speaker 3: Fifty fifty two two, seven fifty five to.
- 30:51Speaker 5: Seven, seventy three to ten.
- 30:58Speaker 2: Seventy three.
- 30:59Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna go.
- 31:02Speaker 2: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go forty to zero. I'm
- 31:07Speaker 2: gonna go in Ano their shutout. I that's the one
- 31:10Speaker 2: area of the ball that I think that rule is
- 31:12Speaker 2: gonna say they're not scoring. They do not score.
- 31:16Speaker 1: But I think we're gonna not try to score as much.
- 31:20Speaker 1: But maybe Dana's got other plans. Okay, I have one
- 31:27Speaker 1: little fun game prep for you guys for if you
- 31:29Speaker 1: didn't know, Big Ten football starts this week games against
- 31:33Speaker 1: other Big Ten opponents. There's a couple not many yet,

- 32:17Speaker 1: get the point, or it's going to alternate.
