  Speaker 2: good folks out there, the good people, we gotta do it.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Two things. Number One, I always like to start off
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: with a side tangent I've started my baggy clothes era
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: of my life. I'm just my wife and I got
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: into an argument the other day about it. I'm wearing
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: like a double XL T shirt currently, and I adore it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I'm curious to see if people are more in the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: loose fit or tight fit era of their lives because
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I'm entering that territory. And then number two, this guy.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: This guy's not gonna say it for himself, so I
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: will go and say it anyway. At time of recording,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: he's at nineteen point nine thousand subscribers on YouTube get
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: into twenty get it back before kickoff of the Mazoo game.
• 2:52

• 3:19
  Speaker 2: that he accidentally gave me access to.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Out there and rally the troops. Let's do this.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: We're there, We're there. Oh no, we appreciate that. Yeah, life, subscribe,

• 3:35
  Speaker 1: you said, high school game, you want to go to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Carl Albert McAllister, I think that what I was looking.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: I was looking at Mustang and Broken Arrow.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Now is that that's it? Mustang?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Right, It's at Broken Arrow. Yeah, so I I don't
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: think I'm gonna be able to make that. I'm thinking
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: about maybe going by Washington to see Alexander you know,
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Creed bear It. They have a really fun running back
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty eight too, So yeah, that's what I'm
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: thinking about. That being said, there is a very real
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: world where I have to do another multi hour drive
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: and I still have writing to accomplish, and I just say,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: let's let's get some q Doba down the street and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: go back to our place and knock some things out,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean, knock some workout.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Not too bad. Make sure you check out over at
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: too as soon as illustrated on the Channel the Recruiting
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Show every Thursday. Go check it out. Colin's talking about
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: all of the great recruiting that's happening right now. So,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: but I want to talk to some ball. We'll talk
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a little recruiting here at the end to definitely PU
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: up to go watch that video. But Oklahoma pulled out
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the unthinkable against Alabama. Crazy and I talked about this
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: on the Live yesterday. I thought it was funny how
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the response has been from a lot of the fans,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Bama fans, even some of the national folks that Alabama
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: gave that game to Oklahoma rather than Oklahoma taking it
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: from them.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I laughed at that because it was brought to my
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: attention even though I realized it when when I heard,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, that's exactly what happened. We led
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: about seventy five percent of the game, if not more.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: M h, how is that them giving us the game
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: when we're sitting there at ten zero through most of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the game and you're all the way up to twenty
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: to fourteen before they finally take the lead late in
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the third quarter. Hows that?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: So? I'm really glad you started off with this because
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I think it is important for Oklahoma fans who see
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: this narrative going around out there right now, to kind
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: of get a grasp of where they really should be.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: And I'm here to tell you the truth. I talked
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: about this. I did a podcast with our Missouri site
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: power Maazoo. Feel free to go check that pod out.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I just basically talked about Chocoma football. But he asked me.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: He was like, look, it's funny when we in college
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: football we cover a team or the fans favorite team,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: that team creates a bunch of turnovers and forces teams
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and a bunch of mistakes, and it's like, oh, that's
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: just great football. They're doing great stuff out there to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: force turnovers and things of that nature. But when it
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: happens against you, when you lose the game because the
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: other team forced turnovers and mistakes, it's like, oh, that
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: was fluky, we gave the game away. We beat ourselves.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: And it's like, well you can't, that's not how this works.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: So I told him, and this is what I would say.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You know, for weeks, Oklahoma couldn't get a turnover to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: save it's damn life. Couldn't do it. They were in
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: the hundreds in almost every statistical category when it comes
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to turnovers created, turnover margin, you know, I mean turnovers lost, yep.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: And they were still winning football games. And I always
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: like to highlight when Brent has really appropriate and pretty
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: insightful quotes. I think he's had two about this stuff
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: that I agree with willheartily. Number one, he said it
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: after the Tennessee game, if I remember correctly, he was like,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: you don't apologize for that. You don't apologize for making
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: the most of the other team's mistakes because guess what,
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: this is football, and both teams are constantly making mistakes.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day. You're talking about young
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: men in the heat of a game in hostile environments,
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: trying to execute a call that on a down and
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: down basis they may not be ready for it, and
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: if something happens, well, that's just how this game goes.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: That's the beautiful sport that is football, and it's why
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: we love it. You do not apologize for making more opportunities,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: you know, pan out for yourself than the other team
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: and having that play a role in the end result.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: And then number two, Brent the other day said, look,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: you have to be doing enough in your control to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: make your opponent willing to put the ball out there.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: And that's my biggest thing. The first few weeks of
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the season, they were not doing things that they have
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: done over the last few weeks to create these turnovers
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: and mistakes. What am I talking about? I said this
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: on the on the podcast. Think about the turnover that
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: really got it going Owen Heineke Blitz blows up the
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: quarterback our Mason Thomas picks up the fumble, stiff arms
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a tight end twenty five yards. I have never seen
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: that before, and with an injured leg. After the stiff
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: arm still finds his way into the end zone. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: it's like, I don't view that as a flukey turnover.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I don't think Tennessee wanted that to happen. Or let
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma have that right and then go to the Alabama game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Let's just run through all three turnovers where Alabama gave
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma the game. The interception is a perfect, perfect pressure
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: call by them, and Kip Lewis springs free and is
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: right in ty Simpson's face and he has to get
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: rid of the football and it ends up in Eli
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Bowen's hands. And then oh, by the way, Eli Bowen
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: goes eighty seven yards. I don't think a team is
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: willing to give its opponent an opportunity that includes eighty
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: seven yards gain and a touchdown. I don't think that happens.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: The punt return fumble, that's just Jaydon Hardy punching the
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: ball out after Ryan Williams gains fourteen yards. I don't
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: know how that's fluky. And then, last, but certainly not least,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Taylor wins forced fumble on the strip sack. He's just
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: flat out beating the offensive tackle, flat flat out beats him,
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: and Oklahoma kicks a field goal that ends up being
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the final Right, Yeah, what's it? You don't apologize for
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: making the most of your opponent's mistakes, and you really
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: do not apologize for it if you're the one who's
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: forcing the issue, if you're creating the turnovers yourself. That's
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: where I'm at with it. I think it's a really
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: lazy narrative out there, if I'm honest with you and
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: to me, it reveals that people aren't watching the game,
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: they're not watching the tape, and they're not they're not
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: understanding turnovers are a two way street. Yes, it's about
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the individual giving the ball up but it's also about
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the defense doing what it takes in its own control
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: to force the ball out. And that's that's what Oklahoma's
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: been doing over the last few weeks. They figured it out.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: They figured out the thing that they needed to do
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: in order to get turnovers to start happening.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: They started. It was more of a to me watching
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: more tape, Yes, catching those tendencies that you need to catch.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I saw some guys, some Alabama guys say they're like
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: when they saw I think it was Kip the way
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he blistered like it felt like he knew what the
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: play was. Yeah, a lot of tape watching get you
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to that point. Robert Spiars Jennings, I think he knew
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: what that play was when he got his interception. They
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: got called back because of Kendall Daniel's past interference. Yeah,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: he knew what was coming as well. But as you said,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a lot of the the er it throws you get
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: from a Ty Simpson type quarterback. Again, I praise him
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: because he's really good. You don't get those unless you
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: make him throw the ball when he's not ready to.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: They were making him get rid of that ball like earlier.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So when you look at this game. Let me see,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: it was at seven minutes and twenty seven seconds left
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: in the third quarter when they scored. So that's what
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: seven minutes and what's that thirty what's that thirty three?
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: On top of thirty said thirty seven minutes and thirty
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: three seconds, Oklahoma had the lead. Just think about it
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: that way, guys. That is that's why I want to
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: say that I needed people to understand the first thirty
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: seven minutes and thirty three seconds Oklahoma had to lead
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: to this game. Wild, Wild, But I think they got's
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: a real quick sk and I think you appreciate this.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: After that touchdown Alabama did not cross the fifty yard
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: line the rest of the game.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Wild, I don't. I don't know that that's fluky. Would
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: you call that fluky? And then I'm glad you brought
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: up the RSJ interception. Think back to this too. They
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: had three turnovers in the game against Alabama. They had
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: a fourth call back on the interception by Robert Spears Jennings,
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: and they technically forced the fumble that Kobe mackenzie did
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: not pick up just before the pick six.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, I give Kobe grace because if he recovered that,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: we don't have the pick.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Six now, O Bay, I'm not beating a dead horse.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Here's why I bring all that up. That's like five
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: moments you can recall right off the top of your
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: head where Oklahoma is the one forcing a turnover. First
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: of all, if there are five instances of turnover creation,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: is that fluky or is that a trend? And Second
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: of all, Oklahoma to your point exactly, Oklahoma literally told
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: you in the postgame, Hey, this is their words. We
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: knew and we talked about as a team going in
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that Ty Simpson had like the number one fumble rate
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: in the pocket if you got to him at quarterback.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: So they watched him on tape, they ran the statistics
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: and they knew if they can get home a quarterback
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: who had I believe, only thrown one interception going into
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: that game, but had one of the higher fumble rates
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: in the country.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Five fumbles four straight games. He fumbled the bottle in
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the pocket fourth rate. This was his fifth straight game
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: with a fumble in the pocket.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Is that a trend? Or is that fluky? And if
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: they saw that, and they ran the number and they
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: knew it, and that's why they called all those pressure
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: packages which then forced them to get the ball out.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Is that fluky or did they literally tell you they
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: knew what they saw on tape and they ran the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: numbers in the house and they said, we're gonna make
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: this dude make some mistakes. I don't know. That's something
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to think about.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And and I bring this up for those that are
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: listening again as we talked about it the other day,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: it's I needed to make sure I had another person
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: that sees that has seen this and understands it, because,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: like you said, if it's your team, you're like, oh,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: you know, we did this, this, that, and the other.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: If it's the opposite of your team receiving these problems,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, well, we just screwed up with this this. No,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: it's it would have been both. I mean I talk
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: about it with the Oh Miss game. We did not adjust.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: We got out coached, period. That's Lane changed his entire
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: game plan and we were not prepared for him going
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: really slow, which was in the rain genius. If you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: were thinking, I mean, hell, we came back and took
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the lead, we could have won the game with wide
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: open dudes. We just didn't execute and we didn't adjust.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: So it was them. They won that game. So before
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: we continue the video, we got to give a shout
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: out to our partners at Sleeper. You gotta check them out.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: They got some of the best ods and options out
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: there in the daily fantasy game, and they're gonna hook
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: you up. Match your first apoze one hundred percent up
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: to one hundred dollars, plus give you twenty bucks just
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: for signing up use our promo code. Unfair. So let's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: make a couple of picks this weekend in a college
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: football ram. Of course, you hit that college football button.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: They've got all the sports too, they got nbagc Nicole
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Jokich is a free pick coming up. But you can
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: come in here and it's easy to kind of even
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: narrow it down, so like you can scroll through and
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: look at everybody, or you can pick whatever conference you
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: want to go into. So we're gonna come right here
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: into the SEC. Look at some of the four games
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that make the most sense. Missouri versus Oklahoma, So of
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: course you got questions. John Mattier gonna take more Hardy,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He's probably gonna score a touchdown, so we'll take the more.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Xavier Robinson scoring one touchdown. Same thing
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: with Isaiah Setana getting some yards. I expect us to
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: hold Jamal Roberts from scoring a touchdown in this game.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: And you know we're not gonna see so on. You
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: know why I got the more in here. But then
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you know they want to play with our emotions. But
• 17:22

  Speaker 1: soon as Illustrated. I'm gonna have the link in the
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: description below of him talking to the power Miz folks
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: about the game too.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Vote.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna talk about. We've got this game
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: come up this weekend. Massive recruiting weekend opportunity as well,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: because I'm seeing the list are starting to grow. I'm
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: seeing the post on social media all morning. I've seen
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: like six or seven kids finally say they're gonna show up.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So Colin going into this game, it looks like bo Pribula,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a game time decision. Right now, he's questionable.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: He was doubtful of the day before. He's questionable today. They're
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: expecting tonight for him to be moved into probable and
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: then game time. First thing in the morning, how do
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: you feel, what do you think Oklahoma has to do? Like,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: what's the one thing you think they gotta do to
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: win this game?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Stop the run? I mean it's it's really that simple.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: Just stop the run, and I mean let everything else
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: take care of itself. You know, this list legitimately is
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a meeting between the unstoppable force and the immovable object.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Like to a t. Missouri's rush offense, which is the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: unstoppable force right now, is the number one rushing offense
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: in the SEC and six in the FBS. They're averaging
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: two hundred and forty one point seven yards per game
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: on the ground, again first in the conference, but the
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: conference's top rush defense. The immovable object awaits them on
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: the other side, Oklahoma only allowing eighty two point two
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: rush yards per game. This is my thing with it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: Amad Hardy one of the best in the country. Brent
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: joked about it that they had learned Amad Hardy has
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: nearly one thousand yards after contact. Brent ash GT two
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: point zero. Yeah, like Brent, Brent was like, I didn't
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: even know that was a stat. He was giving Mike
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Holc some crap for it. He was like, he was like,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: that's a good one that Mike found. But look, it
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: really comes down to stopping the run. For Oklahoma, the
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: best rush defense in the SEC, top three rush defense
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: of the country, because this is a difficult scheme to defend.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: You know, they can blend in some gap scene and stuff.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Obviously there's some base wide zone implemented and al Maud
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Hardy is elite, but they've got a good offensive line.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Their tight end. Northfleet is a guy that I was
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: told by several in the preseason like someone that NFL
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: folks love. I know he's getting healthier. They have not
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: just Hardy, but the tools and the play caller around
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: him to make him effective. But if you stop the
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: run and you do what you're supposed to do. That
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: is Oklahoma's defense. Mazoo has played two through road games
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: so far.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The crazy They didn't leave their state until what like
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: the end of October, like three weeks ago, they finally
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: left the Korea.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: They're one and one in their two road games all year.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I don't First of all, I don't know how that happens.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Let's do something about that. But I also know that
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: you know, one of the they're one win, if you'll
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: remember correctly on the road, was over Auburn in overtime.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: So here's why I say that this Missouri team really
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: does not have like a body of work, a body
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: of work, which is the important phrasing to show you
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that the Tigers can go into a hostile environment and
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: win without a mod Hardy consistently being the focal point
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: of the offense. Again, they've only played two true road games,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: but Jay, I still find this fascinating. They have one
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: passing touchdown on the road this year, which is technically
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: the fewest in the entire FBS shout out to CBS
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Sports Research for that stat But it's like again, they
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: they they do not play road games. They they have
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: not experienced a lot of atmospheres, and they have not
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: necessarily consistently shown the ability to go win football games
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: away from their home stadium without a mad Hardy being
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: the guy. Now, you know, I know that he only
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I want to say he had sixty six rushing yards
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: against Auburn.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Maybe it was low. Bo was the top runner in
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: that game.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: And Bo also threw for two hundred and fifty yards
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: in that game, and we'll dive into that. You know,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: his outlook is obvious a primary layer to this this matchup.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: So I think this game really is as simple as
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: does Oklahoma stop the Missouri r rushing attack? Because if
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: the Siners do, I think that they have every reason
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to be very optimistic about the outcome here.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: No, I agree, and so I was wrong. It was
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the Alabama game where Bo was the best passer and
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: rushier in the game. He had fifty eight against Auburn,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: and Bo had twenty eight yards rushing in that game.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: It was a struggle game for them. I'd say the
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: best game they had and a losing output was against
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M. And I think Texas A and
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: M just didn't care. They were beating the crap out
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: of them. So they just kind of just like, man,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: we're on auto pilot. I mean, you give a two
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing in the game, you have two running
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: backs run for one hundred yards. That sounds like a
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: game you possibly have lost. But A and M was
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: already dog walking them at twenty four to seven, and
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: it was just like, Oh, now we're gonna just are
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: running all over the place, which kind of makes sense,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: big run plays stuff like that to kind of help
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: them get going. But no, you're right. They it's a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: crazy stat. They only have one passing touchdown in their
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: road games. And I think the two road games two
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: road games two, they're only two and they're two, we've
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: only got one. And since that, I think they've only
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: got like three total in the last what's this three game?
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: Four games?
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: That's crazy, I believe over the last couple of weeks.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: I want to say it's the last two games. Are
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: our guys at power. Mazoo said that Missouri's offense has
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: amassed one hundred and eighty nine passing yards over two games,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: like total one hundred and eighty nine passing yards.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: So and that's mainly because you're playing a true freshman,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: truly isn't ready yet. There's nothing against him. It's just
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you know, the game's the game. If you're not ready,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: you're not ready. People recognize that. And we know how
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: Brent Vnables does against freshman quarterbacks. That's like his favorite
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: thing to feast on freshman retiro freshman. I was mentioning
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: it before to somebody when we played South Carolina last year.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Without those defensive plays, their offense was very pedestrian.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: We have to keep in mind that most of their
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: their touchdowns were coming. Those two fumble were coming for
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: a touchdown, the interception like two pick six's like, or
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: then the fumble that let them right there down the
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: field to score. I mean, it's twenty one points there.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: But they could not drive. Their passing wasn't really all
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: that great, their running wasn't all that great, and Rockett
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Sanders was solid, but it wasn't dominant like you would
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: have expected because of the score. Now, granted they may
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: had tried to vanilla it down, but you still got
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: to make sure you don't let a team come back
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M. Yeah, you don't want that to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: happen to you like they allowed to happen to them.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: This year, probably should have kept their foot on the gas.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: But I digress. This Missouri game I'm really intrigued to
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: see because Bo being the quarterback is not gonna to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: meet a good idea.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Let's let's talk about that guy that. What are your
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: thoughts on Bo Perbula potentially playing and I'll provide some
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: important context here quickly. Number one, I feel like we
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: can all share a similar sentiment here. I mean, thank
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: the Lord he's okay.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Yes, because that was gross.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Thank the Lord he's okay. I am actually, like extremely
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: happy for him on a human level because that injury
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: was I mean, it was pretty gruesome. I don't know
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: another way to put it. Like I thought that was
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: gonna be something that hung over him for a long time,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: and I hated it for him because I think you
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: talk to people and you hear nothing but great things
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: about though. Yeah, So I'm really glad he's okay. I
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: would love to see him out there. That being said,
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: from a game standpoint, a quarterback with a left ankle
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: injury of that caliber, who's going to be a game
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: time decision? Jay, your thoughts on what shot that gives
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the Tigers or how much how much of a boost.
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Do you think it even provides them if he's let's
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: say sixty to seventy five percent, which may be optimistic.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: Before we keep going, let's talk about our partners over
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: there as Sleeper, our presenting sponsor for the channel. We
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: have to give them a shout out. If you have
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: not checked him out for Daily Fantasy Ball, you are
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: missing out. They're more than just season long fantasy and
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: they've got some great promos and options, Like right now,

• 28:23
  Speaker 1: want to get into the action, you have the opportunity
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: to use our promo code. Unfair. They're gonna match your
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: deposit a one hundred percent up to one hundred dollars
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and new users twenty bucks just for signing up. No
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: deposit is needed, so doesn't hurt to try. Terms of
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: conditions apply. See Sleepers Terms of use for details. You
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: plan on cutting with that ankle on this defensive line.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: We've watched Taylor Wan run somebody down, snatch them legs
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: and make them fall. Put it this way, Kendall. Dobey's
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: injury was similar to this. That was gone after the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Tennessee game. Similar, I don't think bow If I'm correct,
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Dobe didn't really have alignant damage either, and Bo didn't.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: But he's able to come back four weeks later. You're
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: going to a bowl game. I would not rush this
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: like it's I mean, being a playing spoiler. Sure sounds
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: like fun. I would not rush him back, especially because
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: he can come back next year. He has one more
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: year left of eligibility. Why would you put him in
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: a circumstance to where he could potentially not be back
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: for springball? And that's going to be critical for I
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: mean hell, I mean, the running joke right now is
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: we don't even if Eli Drink Whiz is gonna be
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: there next year, and Bow's most likely gonna follow him.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Joke is that those two are at tandem to wherever,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: whether he's staying in Missouri or going somewhere else.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they both end up back at Penn State. Well,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: he came back back at Penn State while Eli takes
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the job. It's in the air. My point is, why
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: would you risk that. That's not a risk you want
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: to take. Like I understood why Materier came back. That
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: was more of a ego thing from Little Elm. Nobody
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: really recruited him Wahoma. He was on campus back in
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I mean hack, His commitment picture was him
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: on campus in twenty twenty, and he got a chance
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: to play in one of the biggest rivalries ever and
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: a chance that it could be his final season in
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: college football. So yeah, he wanted to be in that
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: game just in case. Granted we now see that he
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: will be back. Ain't no reason with him trying to leave. Yeah,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: granted he has traits to get him drafted in the
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: probably late day two, early day three. Add some production
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: to that, you probably can up yourself a little further
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: into the day two world. He'll be back. Bo's coming back.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: You probably don't want to risk that. To me, I
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to risk that nasty of an ankle injury.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: And then you had Sam Horns also down. Man, get
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: to the ball game, you probably would beat Arkansas, even
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: though Arkansas puts up points on everybody. Yeah, if you
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: can figure out how to score with them, what I
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: mean you did it with Mississippi State, who's similar. They
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: can put up points an offense, but they just can't
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: stop anybody. You should be able. I don't know if
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: you were for three hundred yards again, but you can
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: do that. To me, it's a let that dude sit.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: But I figure most of this is gamesmanship out real talk.
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: I don't think that this is legitimately. We're gonna put
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: him on the field against one of the best defenses
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: in the country, especially if you're not even playoff down.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Why put yourself in that situation?
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I Well, first of all, I'm proud of both of
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: us for not taking the grim McFarland route. But I
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: I'm with you because here's the other thing, Like it
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: is what it is. Matier also rushed to play in
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: the Texas game because there was a ton on the line. Yeah, right,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Like they win that game. Everything looks completely different right
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: in this one. You know. I just especially with a
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: quarterback dealing with a left ankle like Missouri is going
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: to have to find ways to work in in play action.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: They're gonna have to find ways to maybe call a
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: few trick plays. They will, they will at some point
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: need to move the chains on third and long, and
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: I I'm just very concerned about his ability with that
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: ankle injury to move around, whether it you know, roll
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: out structures, to scramble in the face of pressure, and
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: just just on a down and down basis, do what
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: it takes from a mobility standpoint to not just play
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: the quarterback position, but to play the quarterback position against
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: a defense like Oklahoma's one that I mean is so
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: driven towards pursuit speed. Right. So I I'm a little
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: bit worried about him, man, I I'm I'm worried about
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: him because, like you said, he can come back. He
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: he should come back, and he have an opportunity to
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: be one of the better quarterbacks in the country. Next year.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: And on top of that too, I mean, they play
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Arkansas next week. That's a lory game, and I believe Arkansas.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: I feel so bad for them. They don't really have
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: a rival. I mean, you would think it was Kansas,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: but they don't make it a quote unquote official. I
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: guess it's funny because Missouri's the people they consider rivals,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: they actually have an an actual rival.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Well, you would think it's Oklahoma, right, Like I just
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: they're they're The SEC is so good at just like
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: forcing the issue with this rivalry stuff, and it has
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: really kind of reared its ugly head since Oklahoma and
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: Texas have joined the conference. But like I believe Texas
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: plays Arkansas this weekend if I remember correctly, they do so,
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: like Miszoo is catching Arkansas off the heels of a
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: rivalry game next weekend. That should be a winnable contest
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: for them, and that would put them in a position
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to finish the year pretty strongly all things considered. Yeah,
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you know, I get it. I said it repeatedly. There
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: is probably no one on the planet who would enjoy
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: spoiling the Sooner season more than Eli Drinkwitz and the
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Missouri fan base. And I would, hey, I would tip
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: my cap to them, right, But there's also like the
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: long game, and if he plays, which I feel like
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: he's gonna play, I'll be holding my breath for him,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: And I kind of hate that that's a layer to
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: this game, you know what I mean.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, that's a fair point. I'm I'm still on
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: the train of it's aid gamesmanship, and he doesn't. Actually,
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: he probably suits up but doesn't hit the field unless
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: there's a true chance of them closing the game out
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: and they need some additional firepower to win it. I
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: think they go with Zolar, which I feel bad that
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: it will be Zolar, But I mean, like you said,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: if he's coming back and he's medically cleared, that doesn't
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: make him one hundred percent. How's he gonna handle the
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: pursuit of this defensive line. How's he gonna handle the
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: pursuit of these linebackers, the blitz packages you know, brenvinibles
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: is gonna throw at them. B IV said it, he's
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: good at this, and he's right. He proved a point
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: this year with the way that this defense is played.
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: With his hair on fire. So okay, offensive side of
• 36:08

  Speaker 2: the thought seventy five percent off, go check it out.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Five percent off, go check it out. I okay, this offense, man,
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: it's been it's been a frustration for everybody. And we
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: talked about this a couple of weeks back right. It doesn't.
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: We don't feel like Materia's one hundred percent, And honestly,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's his hand. I still think it's
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: the need. Doesn't look like he can plant when he's
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: running just straight lines. He looks great that touchdown against Bama.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: If you noticed, he didn't cut, He just ran straight,
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: did some spin moves, basically took the momentum with him,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: which he's really good at. By the way, he's really
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: good at leveraging momentum of tackles to move himself forward more.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: But you haven't seen him plan and just really cut
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: on anybody in a while. And when BV said he
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: had a knee deal before, I was like, okay, so
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: that's what's that's what's been going on since that Auburn game.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: I'm curious to your thoughts. Will we get Materre Michigan version.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, we thought we had that in the second
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: half of Tennessee. Do you think we can even get
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: that version of him back for the rest of the season.
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. But and this is kind
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: of a cop out answer too, but it's like, I
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: don't know that you need that. I don't know that
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: you need that right now, I think that this team
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: has kind of shown you what it is and it's
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: a team that's going to win through defense and special teams,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: because man, that special teams group right now is I
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: will say, you know, if there were a time for
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: John to get back to that form, you would sure
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: like for it to be like right now, back at
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: home in front of the home crowd, to stable some
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: of those narratives you're going up against. The defense in
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: missouris that is like genuinely elite, right up there with
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma in a number of statistical categories. And then, oh,
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: by the way, it's like, well, this is crazy to me.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: The playoff committee basically said publicly that they don't like
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's offense. That's nuts.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: That is the dumbest thing I've heard.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: So for real, if you see that with a potential
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: home playoff game on the line, yeah, I would love
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: to see not just Materi, but this offense as a
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: whole get back to some of the explosive nature that
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: it showcased earlier in the season. However, the most important
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: thing that you just have to do is go win,
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: right You just got to go win these next two games.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Control what you can control, and that, to me has
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: kind of been the theme for John Mattier. John right now,
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: in my personal opinion, over the last few weeks, has learned, Hey,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: if I just don't mess this up, if I just
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: do what is asked of me and do not put
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: the ball in jeopardy, we're gonna have a chance to win. Yep.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: And you've seen that in the Tennessee game. You really
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: saw it in the Alabama game because he had a
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: near interception tossed out there that did not get taken.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: And it felt like after that near interception, yeah, he
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: had like well and I said it too on our
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: instat reaction, I was like, hey, you know, Alabama should
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: have probably turnovers themselves. But I do think that John
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: through those moments has said to himself, all right, let
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: me just calm down, cool off, let me just see
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: what I can do. Has he been perfect in that sense?
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Obviously not, but I do think you've shown it. He
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: has shown an improvement in a lot of ways in
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: terms of just protecting the ball, executing the offense, and
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: taking with the defense is giving him. And if he
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: does that, yeah, it may not be as cool as
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: the Michigan game or the Auburn game or what have you.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: But it's part of the winning recipe for you right now,
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: and so all he has to do is just play
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: his part, be that primary ingredient and as long as
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: they as long as that offense with him at the helm,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: doesn't mess up. For lack of better term, Oklahoma's gonna
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: have every ability to go win these last two games.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: And I think for me, that's why I don't know
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: you need the hero ball version of the tier you
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: saw earlier in the year.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: No, that's a fair point, because that's if we're thinking
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: about it, that's really spot on that the way this
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: defense is playing and the way that the offense that
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: minimum is capitalizing when they're given the short yardage. I mean,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I would like would knock on wood typically behind me,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: but I don't think this is a scenario where I
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: truly should. We're one hundred percent in the red zone
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: this season. Kate Sandel has been nails. Every time we
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: get a chance to score, we find a way to
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: at least put points on the board. And we're not
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: being overly cocky in any of these to where we
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: feel like we should go for it in any of these.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Now we're saying take the points, move on, because we
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: know the defense's nails enough to allow us to take
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: that money and then probably get more money down the line.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Getting six turnovers in two games with two defensive touchdowns
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: feels more calculated than people realize. Now, granted, the bounce
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: has to be right, but the bounces have been right.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: That final the r Mason Thomas, the Onen Heineke, the
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: ar Mason Thomas Fumber recovering for a touchdown, the Eli
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Bowen pick six, the hit by Taylor Wine that perfectly
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: sets us up for game leading field goal or touchdown,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: whichever one you could have gotten. That's what you hoped
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: out of. You know, this defense, and the fact that
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: the offense has been able to do just enough even
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: with this limitations is big now going up against this
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: Missouri defense. Missouri defense is not bad, you know. Efficiency wise,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: it's around in the thirtiest, in the top thirties, and
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: just about every important metrical.
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Good for the record. Out of like one hundred and thirty,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: that's really good. Also, by the way, if you look
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: at total defense, I know the numbers are a little skewed.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's at eleven you want to take a guess who's
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: at top ten Missouri.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: Now, I say that they're not bad. I say that
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: they're good, maybe not great, but good because the caveat
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: there is the competition. They really played nobody besides Bama
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt Texas. A and M for the most part, are
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: really the only offenses with the post that they played
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: against this year. And Bama did struggle on the road.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: A and M did not. That's where your difference is.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say, and like I said, who
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: they've faced and what they've done. Now if I'm correct,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: and did A and M get a defensive touchdown in
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: this game? I don't think they did? Remember, No, I
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: don't think so, Okay, I want to make sure it
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't crazy. It felt like they possibly got a defensive touchdown.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: They did not. They just ran it down their throat
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: most of this game. So for us, it's really gonna
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: be on it's gonna be on the shoulders of our
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: running game. And so I got I guess I got
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: this question for you. Then c K Tossa's back at you.
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: Are we gonna even be able to run the ball?
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Who running the ball? We're gonna put Jerry Cannick back there,
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: because I'm just trying to understand the running back room
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: has been weird, Like the availability report doesn't only shows
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Yavonte Barnes, which the assumption here is he's red shirting.
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: He's gonna transfer because he wasn't gonna really be able
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: to play this year, so he's gonna try to get
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: his final opportunity to have a full season as a
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: starter somewhere. You know, un l V could use another
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: running back, go back home. I mean that's what I'm
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: just thinking about, right.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you and me's the good football team
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: it is.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: Let me work now. Granted, Mullen made it a job
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: coming upon if he decides, but should have came here
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: as oc. But I digress.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: I think he's showing you he shouldn't have fair. He's
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: showing you he shouldn't.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: Have fair and it may actually cost him from b
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: to get a job. But no, what are we going
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: to do with this running game? Though? Like for real,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: like what do we do? What can we do?
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: So before I dive into that, can I throw some
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: numbers at you real quick that I think are very
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: important to consider it? So we were talking about in
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: the instant reaction right after Alabama game and your brain
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: is jumbled. You're just trying in the heat of the moment,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: you're exhausted to summarize the game. And I don't know
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: if you caught some similar flak, but you know, we
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: brought up that Alabama basically doubling Oklahoma up and yardage
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: in that game and literally at a historical rate. I
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: believe that's like the fewest total yardage by a team
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: and a top ten ranked win or something. I can't
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: remember the exact stat mm hm. And obviously a lot
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: of people are like, oh, you know, yard doesn't tell
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: the story. I get it. Here's why that two hundred
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: and twelve yard mark is important, folks. In that game,
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: they averaged on offense five plays a drive. Five they
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: averaged eighteen yards gained per drive. Their touchdown percentage was
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: nine percent. So you want to know why the two
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: hundred and twelve yard mark was important because they were
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: averaging starting at their own forty three yard line that
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: is Oklahoma, and on average they were going five plays
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: and yet they still had four scoring drives. They had
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: a defensive touchdown. It really is one of those things
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: where like you're talking about. It's not pretty. They're not
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: sustaining drives on offense. That is just that is why
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: that yardage marker looks the way that it does. But
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: between the eighty seven yard interception return for a touchdown
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: and the forty two yard punt return by Isaiah Satana,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: which I believe nets out to what was at one
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: hundred and twenty nine yards of hidden yardage, yep, I'm
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: probably spotting the math incorrectly, but I know I wrote
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: it somewhere and close. Anyway, I think when you go
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: into this game, I would love to sit here and
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: tell you that, like, as far as running the ball
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: and everything, it all is going to be about Oklahoma's
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: ability to sustain drives and run the ball and all that. Now,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be flat and honest with you. They just
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: have shown that they can't. Sometimes they just can't. Sometimes
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean that's not the case all the time, because
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: I think they showed you that a little bit against Tennessee.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: But in this game. As far as who's running the ball,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I I don't know. Look, I think Xavier Robinson has
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: a shot to play. I think we'll see Tory Blaylock
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: is still dinged up. I mean, extra Rob is far
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: from one hundred percent. Believe he's doing with a bruise.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: And then there's Taylor Tatum and uh.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: That availability.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Our guy Josh Callaway brought him up in the preview
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: pod we did and it's very correct. Like Taylor Tatum,
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: they've said that he's gotten dinged up a lot in practice.
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: I believe that is part of the equation. But I
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: also think we all kind of know the deal that
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: maybe part of that too, through those injuries and everything
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: is maybe Tatum asking himself, all right, well, what it's
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: next for me, whether it's a Norman or elsewhere. And
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: we did this song and dance not too long go
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: with him as well, and hey, you know he's still
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: stuck with Oklahoma, like if Taylor goes, if he is
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: a go, then I I think that that is someone,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, that ends up deciding the football game.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Because if X Rob can't be at one hundred percent.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: We also know X Rob's running style north south, get
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: downhill for five yards and a cloud of dust. He
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: can break it out, but that's after he continuously leans
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: on the opponent. How he's gonna be able to do
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: that dinged up. We're gonna find out. I hope he plays.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: We also know though, that Taylor Tatum is just a
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: dynamic athlete and he has also the ability to make
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: plays out of the backfield in the passing game on paper,
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: on paper, on paper. We could go through this game
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: and Taylor Taate can end up doing absolutely nothing. But
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: he's off the availability report for the first time in
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: seemingly a while. And when you ask me, hey, like,
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: what is this going to look like? Well, we know
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: about x Rob, we know about Tori. We do not
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: know about Taylor Tatum, and that is that is a
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: clear talent. Still, I personally believe going into this game,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: a massive key is identifying whether or not an athlete
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: the caliber of Taylor Tatum is going to be able
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: to provide you some sort of contribution. And if he can't,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: I think Brent told you in the press conference what
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: they plan to do. I think he literally admitted it.
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: He said, we're gonna get tested at running back and honestly,
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: we probably need to start spreading the ball around a
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: little bit. So it literally may come down to, hey, Taylor,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: are you ready to go? And if not, if this
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: feels like a game for me where they're going to
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: be landing on the passing game, specifically the short to
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: intermediate stuff as an extension of the run game at
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: a time where they really need it.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Jet sweeps, pop passes, get get Bert's and Satanna in
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: space and let them go jukee people.
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: I was about to say, Dean Burks and Isaiah Satania
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: better be ready to do some of the stuff that
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: they started to do it earlier in the year, because do.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Some drags, do some underneath. Yep, it's gonna be a
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: lot of underneath, because that's what I think Missouri is
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: gonna give us that too. Personally, I think defensively their
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: goal is to just we know they can't really do
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: explosive plays, but there's a good chance they're gonna try it.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I don't think you want to tempt Matier to lob
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: the ball deep a lot now, even in the way
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: that he's been playing, I don't think you want attempt him.
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: I mean the ole miss game, he's still he had
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: a tear drop there. He had the rocket pass to
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: Isaiah Satanna on the sideline, which obviously he likes him
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: when he's under duress. He knows Satanna is going to
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: move to a spot to help him not only see him,
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: but be able to get a rocket thrown right to him.
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: It's now on Mattiar's eyes of understanding where everybody's located. Okay,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: I gotta ask the question. This has been posed to
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: me thirty million times, and I keep saying I don't
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: know why. Yeah, I even worried about it, But you
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: said this. BV said it. It's gonna spread the ball around.
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: They're gonna get a battle hot, they gonna make that
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: man play.
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't get your hopes up.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't feel like it. But at the same time,
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: if everybody dinged up, I.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Mean, look, do I think there's a non zero chance
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: he's out there? Absolutely? And I've heard some things that
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe like maybe, but I also like I
• 53:45
  Speaker 2: I'm debating on if I should say what I want
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: to say. I think that it has been made pretty clear. Okay,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: let me see if you're picking up what I'm putting
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: down so I don't have to come out and say it. Yep.
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: You were in the stadium yep at Alabama YEP when
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: they came over and saying the the chant with the
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: fans yep, did you catch number zero out there?
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: I did see a video with him, they're doing the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Alma Mato.
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know that he was all that enthused to
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: do it. Zero.
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a hand really go up at all. Actually,
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: not think about it. I think it's actually on OU's
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: page of them doing it, and you can kind of
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: see it. You don't feel like there's a buy in
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: at the end of.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: The day where we're at that dude's making bank. I'll
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: just come out and say it. He's making more money
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: than a lot of us. We'll see not only in
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: an individual year, but maybe several years to a lifetime.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: I just when I am being told by other people
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: not in the program. Let me let me specify, when
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: I'm being by other people maybe fans, beat reporters, or
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, that they watch him and
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: they go he doesn't want to be here, like he
• 55:09
  Speaker 2: just he would rather be anywhere else. After I win
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: over Alabama, I don't know, man, I have a hard
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: time trusting that. So that's where I'm at with him,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: And like, I get really uncomfortable because I never really
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: want to talk negatively about people, and I hate you
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: really do like love and appreciate covering this this program
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: right now because I think there are a lot of
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: good people in it. It is just clear to me
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: that I like, we just we just shouldn't factor him
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: in until proven otherwise.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a dud unfortunately that the game's the game,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: yeah right, just is what it is.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: But yeah, all right, I've got something for you.
• 56:00
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: This is one of my keys to the game going
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: into this because we're talking about running the football, We're
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: talking about the extension of the run game is spreading
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: it around. I do think that you should expect maybe
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: some of the the sweeps, the drags, the screens because
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: and I'll talk about this more in a second. But
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: Missouri's defensive line, I mean they're unreal.
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: It's actually a pretty good defensive line, especially the edges.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: Is this is this weekend the toughest test for this
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: new look Oklahoma offensive line. Oh so let me present
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: some contexts and I'll get I'll get your answer if
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: you think about it. Since Eddie Pierre Lewi came in,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: since Foe Jay took over, since VASUSI really kind of
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: took a step after. I would say that the Texas
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: and South Carolina games since this kind of new little
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: group came together. You know, they played on the road
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: against Tennessee, they won that game. They played on the
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: road against Alabama, they won that game. Big wins. Don't
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: get me wrong. They played a primary role in both
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: and it has been very cool to see that younger
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: group go out and navigate those tests. I flat out
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: think that this Missouri defensive line, I know you said,
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: I can cuss. They're the kind of group that I
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: like to say, got some shit on their shoes, Like
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: they are blue collar into the dirt. They are ready
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: to come, come into a game and do what it
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: takes in the grittiest way possible to go with and
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: they're gonna let you hear about it like this. This
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: is the kind of Missouri defensive line. I don't know
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: if you saw the coin flip video from the Auburn game,
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: but like it, that kind of stuff is coming to Norman. Yep.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: Their two edge rushers are great. If you'll remember, they
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: got a Chris McClellan in there as well. It is
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: just a I think this Missouri defensive line is talented,
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: but like they they are not afraid to get covered
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: in field. Paint covered in mud, throw a punch and
• 58:34
  Speaker 2: let you hear about it.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: Mmm.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: And I think a defensive line group like that that
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: is so willing to embrace the tough stuff, that is
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: willing to test the mental fortitude of a group on
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: top of the physicality you have to have. And that's
• 58:52
  Speaker 2: the other thing too, kind of talking about like the
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: mud on their shoes. This this defensive line is great
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: in pass rush. They will set the edge and they
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: will play discipline in the run game. They're gonna test you. Yep.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: I just love what this Missouri defensive line is about.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: I think it's a hard working, like get into the
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: nastiness of a game type of line. And this young
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: offensive front row you now coming back home playing in
• 59:21
  Speaker 2: front of its own fans, where there have been some
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: struggles at times, the expectations are high. It's a tough test.
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: Really good Missouri defensive lineman. This feels like to me,
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: since they've gone on this like road campaign, now arguably
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: their toughest test, especially when we know what's happening with
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: the run game with Matier and some of the stuff.
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: A wide receiver.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is gonna be the toughest one. Like I
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: was thinking, see, would it have been potentially Texas? And
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: when I looked at that Texas game, we went at
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: the half what three three? Mm hm, We could have
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: went into that half seventeen three if injuries and execution
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: existed didn't exist. Injury didn't exist, but execution existed. So
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I thought Bama's line was going to be the toughest,
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: and they showed a little something with the run. But
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: truth be told, our past pro was fantastic in that game.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: We were really good overall.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: When Materi didn't bail from the protection. We looked good.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: When he bailed it coused you know, more issues and
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: more friction, potential holds and things of that nature. So
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: to your point, can't be doing that against this Missouri line.
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: You have to get comfortable in your pocket and allow
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: your line to do its job and get rid of
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: the dang ball either tucking, run straight, throw that thing.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: So with this new look line, which I think the
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: thing I do appreciate with this line is that they've
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: been together playing with the last three games. Four.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're exactly when Eddie Pierre Lewis started to
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 2: factor in.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to think, I feel like it was. I
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: feel like it was North Carolina.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: I want to say it was South Carolina as well.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I think it was South Carolina when you started to
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 1: get him. So that's four games of starting in which
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: I can pull it up on PFF and I.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Will say, while you're looking that up, it's like Dylan
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: Stewart goes down in that game. His defensive line is good.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: I think Alabama's defensive line is good, but they had
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: double some injuries. You know, Yonza Pierre stepping up for
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: them has been huge this season. Yep, this Missou defensive
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: line they got, they got guys, they got.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: Guns man, they do, and let's see if you find it.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: I'm pulling it up now. Of course. I love when
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: you pick schedule and PFF decides to it wants to
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: slow itself up.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: And I will say, too, like South Carolina's got some guys,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: I think, and I like just going back to it.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: It's like this Missoo defensive line isn't just talented like
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: we've seen the young offsive linemen have that. You know,
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: we talked about it. They don't know any better sometimes,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: so they just got that pin your ears back and
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: go play be physical mentality to him that they're gonna
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: get match by a Mazoo defensive line group. Then again,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 2: I think like it's willing to mix it up and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: basically fight you at the line of scrimmage.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Yep. So he played in the South Carolina game, but
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: he did not start. Yeah, he played forty He took
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: the most snaps in the Ole Miss game, him and Heath.
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: He hit forty five to twenty two. So I'd say, oh,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 1: Miss is when you really started to see them play together.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: And that's when Foge played two at right because Simmons
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: was out. So three games basically three games together. To me,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 1: it feels like solid continuity. Yeah, especially because Fasusi's been
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: at the left Dannare the whole season since Michigan. This
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the best test for them to tell
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: us what they are as far as a unit and
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: if they can if they can execute at a high
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: enough level to give material time and materials shows the
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: confidence and throwing it going into LSU, which that one
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: could be a very tough one too, because they've got
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: a lot of dudes that fly around, especially like Harold Perkins.
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Weeks will be back by the
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: nd either, one of the weeks brothers.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: They've got dudes on defensive line too.
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 1: They've got dudes Dominic McKinley who we all want it
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: who We're probably gonna have somebody call as soon as
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: portal season hits. You know, his agent has been hit
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: up numerous times, and people, well, they probably got that
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: initial call and say, well, he's a Louisiana kid. Do
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: we really think he's gonna leave? Probably not so, yeah,
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: especially because his little brother would be there next year.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Nice to get both of them, Norman, But I digress.
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: These two weeks is when we're gonna really see what
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: our line is made of. So, yeah, you're right, this
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: is gonna be the test. I am very curious to
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: see how they execute it. I just saw PFF put
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 1: out that fabetie wus one of the top rated guards,
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the top rated right guard in the country right now.
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe he's like arguably the best right guard
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: and past protection in the country currently.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 1: Who's amongst us would have thought?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Not mean.
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: I always gave him proSP because he has been hands
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: down the most consistent offensive lineman since we joined the SEC.
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: Because he's the only one that's played every game the
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 1: last two years, so I gotta give it to him. This.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: I said it before that he felt like he was
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: going to turn into another McKay Mattower. Ye're one, We're
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: kind of like, mm yeah. Then year two you're like, oh,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: so you're two. It beaten bow. You shape into something
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: that we need. He's becoming that because I always felt
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: like that about Matower is that he was he was.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: He was good enough for us as as patchwork as
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: we was reconfiguring things. But then the second year he
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 1: made that leap and then of course he gets kicked
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: out of the game and everybody gets excited and just
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: love him because now he's the soul of Oklahoma. I
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: just love how we do that player does a weird
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: sacrifice and we're all just, oh, that's my guy. I
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: love him with death whatever may come on. Y'all y'all
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: was yelling for that dude. Yesing them death threats, not
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: all of y'all. Some y'all was the theft threats literally
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: throughout the season. But no, I think that Wabu has
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: become that he's become just a constant peace But I didn't.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: But when I saw that, I was like, that's kind
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: of why I didn't realize. I even looked at some
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: of the other folks. A great lineman, and he's been
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: pretty highly graded by them too. Yeah, pass pro's there again.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 1: We just need material to sit there and throw the
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: dang ball. Yeah, take your time, be patient, should be good.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: You got to score prediction? Have you? Have you already
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 1: picked a number for this game, because I'm.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I went. I think I went either
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: twenty to ten or twenty four to thirteen. That's kind
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: of where I'm living. I subtly think that this game
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 2: is like prime under territory. Oh yeah, I just I mean,
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 2: both teams want to run the ball, both teams have
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 2: elite defenses. It's an eleven am kick. I feel like
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 2: this is pretty prime territory for the under to hit.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of where I'm at. I have Oklahoma winning.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: I don't think that should be much of a surprise.
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 2: I just especially with the quarterback stuff with Missouri, that's hard. Yeah.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I'm at too. I am the quarterback
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 1: situation for them is the only reason why I'm betting
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: against them fully a healthybula. I think this is a
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: very close fifty fifty. I don't think the spread six
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 1: and a half. To put it that way, if both.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: Had yeah, I mean it opened at ten, if I
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: remember correctly.
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some books had ten, some had nine and a half.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: I've seen some at seven and a half opened, but yeah,
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: I think actually it was Circa that opened at ten,
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: and then some of the others. Van Duel had him
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: like at nine and a half. Now it's six and
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: a half.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Most.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, the traffic is pretty even in the betting
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 1: world for the most part. I mean more lean Oklahoma,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: but still pretty even. I'm waiting to see if a
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 1: whale is going to drop something, one of the big
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 1: sharps drop something, to really try to ship things. But
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: it appears Vegas is comfortable with the money that they're
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 1: receiving on both sides to run with it. I'm at
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: the same spot I'm I think I said twenty two
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: to ten has been the number I'm sitting at. Don't
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 1: run home and take that bet. People don't recommend it.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: I doubt I get lucky like I did last week.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 1: Last week felt like a twenty three to twenty one game.
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 1: It's the only reason why I said it. All week
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: it felt like that Georgia game. And not to throw
• 1:09:33
