  Speaker 3: Radiant Dentistry. It is Overreaction Monday, and what a weekend
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: of college football it was. We're going to hear from
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Mike Elko. We're going to hear from Aggie receiver Aaron Gregory.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: We're going to hear from Josh Heupel, who was part
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: of the incredible weekend. A & M is probably glad
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: it flew under the radar this weekend. They did what
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: they were supposed to do. knocking out the Citadel 41-0.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: And now they step up in class at Tuscaloosa on
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Saturday afternoon. Alabama will still probably be without their star
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: wide receiver, Ryan Coleman-Williams. He underwent arthroscopic knee surgery with
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: a torn meniscus about 10 days ago. also had a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: head injury in a helmet-to-helmet hit against Georgia. He's considered week-to-week,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: as are we all. The SEC announcing its schedule for
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: the following Saturday, Halloween, the Aggies are off. Auburn Ole
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Miss at 11.45 a.m., These kickoffs are so random sometimes. Florida,
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Georgia on ABC at 2.30. At 3.15, South Carolina, Oklahoma
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on the SEC Network. At 6.30 on ESPN, Mississippi State
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: at Texas. And on ESPN Network, I don't know. Oh, no,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, the SEC Network. It is, let's see, Missouri, Arkansas.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: And by the way, that is on ESPN. The Texas
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: game is on ABC against Mississippi State.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning struggles at Texas. Continue.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: But Steve Sarkeesian saying today Arch will be the starter.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: There are reports that backup redshirt freshman KJ Lacey, who
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: has played very little, will get more reps in practice.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: Sark said today, Arch can play better for us. He's
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: our starter, but I need a better version of Arch Manning. Meanwhile,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Texas is without their best defensive player. Colin Simmons expected
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: to miss time with a high ankle sprain. He had
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: an MRI today. He will be on the injury list,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: I'm sure, on Wednesday. Anwar Richardson from Orange Bloods is
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: reporting that running back Hollywood Smothers has an undisclosed injury,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and his status for the game is questionable. Florida State
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: coach Mike Norvell called the holding penalty that negated a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Hail Mary touchdown in the second overtime against Miami, quote,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: an absolute joke. Norvell also questioned why the replay booth
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: did not discuss simultaneous possession during its review of a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: second Hail Mary pass that was ruled an interception. Those
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: plays cost the Seminoles a chance to tie Miami and
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: go into a third overtime instead of the 43-35 double
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: OT loss. Norvell said the holding call was an absolute joke.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: You go through the course of that game, same thing
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: happened a few plays earlier, was not called in that moment,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: that play.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: It's a shame.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: We had to go convert a two-point play, but for
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: those kids not to be able to finish the game
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: on the field in that moment, is really disappointing.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That was bad.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: I haven't gotten the final response from them, but if
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: it's anything less than what I said, it tells me
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: everything I need to know. Norvell, no doubt, will be
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: fine for his comments and put on double.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Secret probation.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: The AP Top 25 poll came out yesterday afternoon. Miami
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: is the new number one team. BYU up four spots
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to number two. No, they're up six spots to number two.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Ohio State is third. Notre Dame fourth. Georgia fifth. Then
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Indiana Ole Miss, Texas Tech, UCLA, and Utah. Tennessee is 11. Kentucky,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Alabama is 13. Houston is 14. They go to Utah
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: this week. LSU is 18.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Texas drops to 19. Florida is 20th.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Missouri 22nd, SMU 23rd. The AP preseason basketball top 25
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: was released today. I'll do the top 10 for you.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Houston at 10, Virginia at 9, Tennessee 8, Texas 7,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Michigan State, 6. Arizona, 5. UConn, 4. Illinois, 3. Duke, 2.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: And Florida, the preseason number one. Texas Tech is sitting
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: at 19th. Arkansas is 12th. Alabama is 20th. Kentucky, 23.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And Vanderbilt, 24. among the SEC teams. Major League Baseball tonight.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Have you forgotten the playoffs are underway?
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: My guess is, I don't know.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: What the ratings were for Saturday, but my gosh, with
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: all the college football, I can't imagine they were very good.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: The Rays, that's Tampa's team, leads the Guardians, that's the
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Indians of Cleveland, Three games to two. The Rays can
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: get to the World Series tonight with a victory. Freddy
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Peralta is on the mound.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: He is really good.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: That game will start a little after 7 this evening.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And the World Series begins in Milwaukee on Friday. Winner
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: of Tampa Cleveland will be at Milwaukee on Friday evening. So,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: like I said, Major League Baseball is not happy about it.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: They wanted the Dodgers so they could have a bargaining
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: chip saying, see, we need a salary cap because the
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Dodgers are dominating baseball. Well, we've got a couple of, quote,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: small market teams, actually three of them left. And whoever
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: wins the American League in Milwaukee, that will mess up
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: the Major League Baseball argument when they're negotiating for a
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: new contract with the players. We are going to do
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Friday's Fearless and hand out a.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Certificate here in just a minute. We're going to hear
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: from Mike Elko coming up tomorrow. I will tell you
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: that we will visit with author Michael Starr. His book
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: is called Bob Newhart, The Life and Laughter of an
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: American Treasure. Michael Starr will join us on the program tomorrow.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: We'll take a break.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: We'll be back.

  Speaker 3: Would you bring that sheet in there for me real quick? Yeah.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I just want to.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We tried to get a hold of Jimmy Beavers.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I believe Jimmy has won before.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: If you know Jimmy, tell him we're talking about him
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: on the radio.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: He went 8-2 in a very.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Difficult week picking games, and he was only three off
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: the tiebreaker. I think there were only three other people
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: got eight games this week.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: It was not easy. So Jimmy Beavers is the winner.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: He's going to get a $ 50 gift certificate to Rudy's Barbecue.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: So tell Jimmy that we're talking about him and he's
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: going to eat well. So congratulations to him for winning

  Speaker 3: We're on to week eight. Get your picks in between
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: now and 5 p.m.

  Speaker 9: Friday.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Friday's Fearless Football Forecast Contest, a division of Sports Talk,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: America's most loved football pick-em contest, brought to you every
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: week by Chad Jones Law and Zwirneman Flooring.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: So Auburn beats Georgia.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: I think Georgia had three turnovers in that game. BYU
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: beats Notre Dame. CJ Carr had some issues. Miami beat
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: Florida State in double overtime. Ohio State beat Indiana by
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the width of a shoe on the sideline.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: By the way, Indiana fumbled twice.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: It was their first and second loss fumbles since the
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: first week of last season. You want to know why
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: they won 22 straight football games or was it 23
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: in a row?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Because they don't give up the football.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: They gave it up on Saturday and it cost them
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: the win against Ohio State. Alabama turned it over on
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Saturday in Knoxville. and lost to Tennessee. Texas turned it
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: over for the second week in a row and lost
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: to Florida.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: We're going to hear from Mike Elko here in just
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: a moment.
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: I asked him about turnovers because when the margin is
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: so thin and it's gotten thinner, which is why we had,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: I called it Saturday, The greatest day in college football history.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: The most exciting. I will stand by that.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of college football in my years.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: Saturday was the wildest. It was unbelievable from start to finish.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Turnovers. Turnovers and transfer portals.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: We're going to talk about that with the writers coming
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: up at 5 o'clock. A & M must, absolutely must,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: win the turnover battle in Tuscaloosa to have any chance
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: on Saturday. A little earlier this afternoon, Coach Elko met
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: with the media like he does on Mondays, and we
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: carry it live here on The Zone at 1.30 on Mondays.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I mentioned that a few of you have real jobs.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: You can't listen all day, although you should. Here is
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: part of what Coach Elko had to say this afternoon.
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: Yeah, wrapping up Saturday, just starting with our players of
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: the game. Scout team defense was Loyo Velade. He was
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: the kid who had to reclass due to some eligibility
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: issues down in Florida, so it's good to see him
• 16:54
  Speaker 10: out there running around. He's the kid that we hoped
• 16:57
  Speaker 10: we were getting in recruiting for sure. Offensive scout team
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: player of the week was Ryan Burton, and special team
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: scout team player of the week was Chase Burton. Both
• 17:05
  Speaker 10: those guys were out there on the 12th man kickoff Saturday,
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: which was really cool to see. Our offensive lineman of
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: the week was Wilkin Formby. Again, I think continuing to
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: get better and make strides. Just from a fundamental standpoint,
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: obviously it's hard to completely judge off that tape, but
• 17:21
  Speaker 10: just from a fundamental standpoint, I thought he played really well.
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: And then defensively, we gave it to D.J. Sanders, who
• 17:28
  Speaker 10: kind of stepped into a role where he took a
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: lot more snaps in the normal flow of the game
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: with D.J. Hicks not playing. And so I thought he
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: handled that really, really well and probably earned himself some
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: more opportunities as we move forward here down the stretch.
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: Players of the week, offensively, Jamarian Morrow, three touchdowns, 6.8
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: yards to carry. Good to see him back and healthy
• 17:49
  Speaker 10: out there playing. Defensively, went with Ray Coney, a linebacker.
• 17:54
  Speaker 10: I thought all of our linebackers, that was not a
• 17:57
  Speaker 10: very easy offense to go against from a run-fit standpoint.
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: I thought for the most part, we handled it really,
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: really well from that perspective. Seven tackles was great. Special teams,
• 18:08
  Speaker 10: Bravion Rogers continues to find ways to impact the game.
• 18:12
  Speaker 10: Obviously we were in a little bit of a pinch
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: from a returner standpoint and so we've kind of been
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: working him the last few weeks and wanted to get
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: him a chance to go out in the game and
• 18:21
  Speaker 10: catch him and obviously took that one and returned it
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: 42 yards and so that was good to see. We
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: handled the game the way we wanted to. We were
• 18:28
  Speaker 10: able to get done what we wanted to get done
• 18:30
  Speaker 10: and now it's back to SEC play and a big
• 18:33
  Speaker 10: challenge this week against a really, really talented Alabama team.
• 18:37
  Speaker 10: A team that I think has functioned in really well
• 18:39
  Speaker 10: on both sides of the ball. Obviously, two tough losses back-to-back,
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: but against really talented teams that they've been playing. Just
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: a really, really good team and a huge challenge. From there,
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: we'll open up to questions.
• 18:50
  Speaker 11: We'll go over to the right, second row.
• 18:52
  Speaker 12: David.
• 18:52
  Speaker 13: Go Choco.
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: You guys had opportunities on the road at Missouri early on,
• 18:56
  Speaker 14: but you failed to capitalize. How important is it, especially
• 18:58
  Speaker 14: going to a hostile place like Alabama and some of
• 19:01
  Speaker 14: the struggles you guys have had to take advantage of
• 19:04
  Speaker 14: those times early?
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: I think it's both, honestly. I think as we've talked
• 19:07
  Speaker 10: about trying to play our way out of this. It's
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: obviously trying to find ways to create early success, but also,
• 19:14
  Speaker 10: I think, understanding our ability and need to react. If
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: you go back and think of the road wins that
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: we've had in my time here, to get a win
• 19:24
  Speaker 10: against a really good team on the road, you're going
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: to have to make plays early, but you're also going
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: to have to overcome failures. You're also going to have
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: to have swings and momentum. You're also going to have
• 19:34
  Speaker 10: That's what it's going to take. It's going to take
• 19:36
  Speaker 10: a full three and a half hours of battling all
• 19:40
  Speaker 10: of the ebbs and flows that come with a road
• 19:42
  Speaker 10: game in this conference. And so it's about starting fast,
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: but I think it's also as important that we do
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: a much better job of handling the downslides that were
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: going to naturally happen in a game when you play
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: on the road.
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: Follow-up.
• 19:58
  Speaker 14: A couple weeks ago, it looked like your team had
• 19:59
  Speaker 14: a very uphill climb to get back into the mix
• 20:01
  Speaker 14: in the SEC. Considering what has happened in the last
• 20:04
  Speaker 14: few weeks, how cognizant do you all have to be,
• 20:07
  Speaker 14: or does it just head down one game at a time?
• 20:09
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think, honestly, it's head down one day at
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: a time. That's just where we are right now as
• 20:14
  Speaker 10: a program, and that's kind of where we got to
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: a while ago. We've got to keep pushing to push
• 20:20
  Speaker 10: those results onto Saturday and see them the way we
• 20:23
  Speaker 10: need to see them, but it has gotten into a head-down...
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: attack today get better today focus on today that has
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: been our approach for weeks now and I don't think
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: we can change from that relative to what's happening obviously
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: aware of it and know what you're talking about but
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: I just think for us it's just going out tomorrow
• 20:41
  Speaker 10: and having a great Tuesday and continuing to get.
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: Better we'll go over to the left second row Alex
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: Mike what would you like the most about the way
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: the offense maybe operated last week throughout practice into the
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: game that maybe you guys can carry.
• 20:54
  Speaker 10: Forward Yeah, again, I think we are making strides. I
• 20:58
  Speaker 10: think when you watch us at practice, I think we
• 21:00
  Speaker 10: are continuing to improve the overall level. Again, that needs
• 21:06
  Speaker 10: to translate, and so that wasn't unique to last week.
• 21:09
  Speaker 10: I do feel like the last couple weeks, we've started
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: operating and functioning a little bit back towards where we
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: were heading into the season, and that's the starting point.
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: If it's not happening in practice, it's certainly not going
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: to happen in the game. And so we've got to
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: continue to go. We've got to continue to work. We've
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: got to continue to improve and try to keep moving
• 21:30
  Speaker 10: this thing in a way to be successful.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: And then I asked you about TK after the game.
• 21:33
  Speaker 11: I'm just curious, what do you see maybe his growth
• 21:36
  Speaker 11: throughout the offseason and through the early part of the
• 21:38
  Speaker 11: season that now he's been able to maybe have a
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: little bit more of an impact in the passing game
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: the last few weeks?
• 21:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think just, again, a kid who's getting more
• 21:45
  Speaker 10: and more comfortable with what it takes to be a
• 21:46
  Speaker 10: wide out in this conference at this level. A kid
• 21:50
  Speaker 10: who had a really good offseason putting weight on, putting
• 21:53
  Speaker 10: strength on, and now I think it's starting to translate
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: into his play a little bit. He had been kind
• 21:58
  Speaker 10: of chipping away, chipping away at opportunities. Again, with some
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: of the injuries and some of the different things that
• 22:04
  Speaker 10: have happened, it created some opportunities for him, and he's
• 22:07
  Speaker 10: certainly taken advantage of them.
• 22:09
  Speaker 9: Go back over to the right, first row, Travis.
• 22:12
  Speaker 13: Mike, in the Transfer Portal world of today, Do you
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: find that players, when they go back and play teams
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: that they were on previously, maybe in the past there
• 22:20
  Speaker 13: was a little bit of a revenge factor. Now is
• 22:22
  Speaker 13: it a little bit more business-like, business decision?
• 22:24
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's probably just a little bit more common.
• 22:28
  Speaker 10: The post-games are not nearly what the post-games were eight,
• 22:32
  Speaker 10: ten years ago. Now it feels like everybody's got ex-teammates
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: all over the place or guys that you know or
• 22:38
  Speaker 10: guys that you played with. It's not just guys from
• 22:40
  Speaker 10: high school. It's got a little bit of a different
• 22:44
  Speaker 10: feel to it from that perspective and just kind of
• 22:47
  Speaker 10: how this thing goes. It's way more like the professional
• 22:50
  Speaker 10: ranks where there's just a lot more relationships that have
• 22:54
  Speaker 10: formed with former teammates. I think at this point, it
• 22:57
  Speaker 10: just kind of is what it is. We've got some guys, obviously,
• 23:00
  Speaker 10: that had played there last year, but I don't think
• 23:02
  Speaker 10: that really impacts a ton. I think probably more than
• 23:05
  Speaker 10: anything that we feel is when you have kids going
• 23:08
  Speaker 10: back to their home state, that probably is a little
• 23:11
  Speaker 10: bit more of a moment than kids playing their former teams, honestly.
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: And more rumblings about moving forward towards a 2014 playoff.
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: As a coach, how do you feel about that? And
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: maybe as a college football fan? How do you feel
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: about that separately?
• 23:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I've been pretty clear on my thoughts
• 23:28
  Speaker 10: on that. Again, that's not a decision that I get
• 23:31
  Speaker 10: to make or anybody really cares what my thoughts are,
• 23:33
  Speaker 10: but I hope we're doing right valuing the regular season.
• 23:38
  Speaker 10: I think the thing that makes this sport really special
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: is its regular season, the pageantry of the regular season,
• 23:43
  Speaker 10: how important the games are during the regular season, and
• 23:47
  Speaker 10: I just hope that we don't lose that as a
• 23:49
  Speaker 10: college football fan.
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: We'll go to the back right, Chip.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: Mike, as wild and crazy as Saturday was all over
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: the country, it seemed like to me the common theme
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: was turnovers. Alabama had four of them against Tennessee on Saturday,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: and I know it's always a key. But on the road,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: is it even more important to try to play clean
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: and take the ball away?
• 24:11
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it's always important regardless of where you play.
• 24:14
  Speaker 10: I think the road amplifies it for sure. There's a
• 24:19
  Speaker 10: reason why it's the number one thing hanging on our
• 24:21
  Speaker 10: walls all over this building is because I do. I
• 24:24
  Speaker 10: think it's the number one thing that indicates success. If
• 24:28
  Speaker 10: you want to go win a football game, a really
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: good starting point is protecting the football and taking it away.
• 24:35
  Speaker 10: That's something we've and obviously will play a big role
• 24:39
  Speaker 10: in our success on Saturday.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: And beside the turnovers, Tennessee was the only team so
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: far to really, really slow down the Alabama offense. What
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: did you see? that affected that offense on Saturday from Tennessee?
• 24:54
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I just think they've got a really talented quarterback.
• 24:59
  Speaker 10: They've got a really good offensive line. They've got really
• 25:02
  Speaker 10: explosive players on the outside. Tennessee maybe did a better
• 25:06
  Speaker 10: job than most of affecting the quarterback with the D-line
• 25:09
  Speaker 10: in the pass rush, but I'm sure that's something that
• 25:13
  Speaker 10: they'll rectify. It's a really talented group.
• 25:16
  Speaker 11: We'll go to the left, second row, Tyler.
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: Mike, you specifically mentioned D.J.
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: Sanders.
• 25:21
  Speaker 9: Were there other players and personnel that you saw from
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: maybe the last week of practice in this last game
• 25:27
  Speaker 9: that you feel like guys have started to earn more
• 25:31
  Speaker 9: playing time to give you a chance to win?
• 25:33
  Speaker 10: Yeah, a lot of the guys I mentioned after the game.
• 25:35
  Speaker 15: I think T.K.
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: Norman's one.
• 25:37
  Speaker 10: Aaron Gregory's playing a lot more. Carson Baker and K.J.
• 25:41
  Speaker 10: Edwards continue to go. Kiadi Armstrong continues to get more reps.
• 25:45
  Speaker 10: Sam Roseborough has played a lot of snaps the last
• 25:47
  Speaker 10: couple of weeks. Brandon Davis-Swain and Landon Rink have elevated
• 25:51
  Speaker 10: a defensive tackle, so I think it's all over the field.
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: You mentioned Keylon Russell. Is he similar to the quarterback
• 26:00
  Speaker 9: you guys have faced? What is your evaluation of going
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: up against him?
• 26:05
  Speaker 10: Really special player. Obviously familiar with him all the way
• 26:07
  Speaker 10: back to recruiting. Really talented kid at Duncanville. He's having
• 26:12
  Speaker 10: a really, really good year. Can attack you in a
• 26:14
  Speaker 10: lot of different ways. Can make all of the throws.
• 26:17
  Speaker 10: delivers the ball very confidently in a really tight spiral,
• 26:20
  Speaker 10: has ability with his legs to make plays when the
• 26:22
  Speaker 10: play breaks down. I think, obviously, he's been a really
• 26:26
  Speaker 10: huge weapon for them this year, someone we obviously are
• 26:28
  Speaker 10: going to have to try to do our best to
• 26:30
  Speaker 10: slow down as best we can.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: That's part of Coach Elko earlier this afternoon with his
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: weekly gathering with the media. A & M is at
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Alabama on ABC at 2.30 p.m. Our coverage will begin
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: at 10.30 on Saturday morning.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, just leave it on.
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know why you would turn off the station
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: between now and Saturday, quite frankly. If you have to miss, remember,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: we have our podcast up at chiphoward.com or zone1150.
• 27:09
  Speaker 12: Com.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: We'll put our favorite interviews up in the interview section
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: with separate interviews for our outdoor edition as well.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: So we've got that going on for us, which is nice.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: You look at what is happening, and we're talking about
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: watering down the effects of the regular season.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And I don't think this is.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: College basketball, where you play two or three times a week.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: You still only play once a week. I think in
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: this league, the stadiums are going to be full, whether
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: it's a 12-team playoff or a two-team playoff or a
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: 40-team playoff.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: And I.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: Would like to believe you're still going to get games
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: like we had this past Saturday. Because, yes, there are
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: playoff implications. There are playoff implications in every one of
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: these games, no doubt. But Georgia lost. I still am
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: sitting here thinking, yes, they're going to be in the playoffs, right?
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame lost. They're going to be in the playoffs.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Indiana lost.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: I still believe Indiana is going to be in the playoffs.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: Alabama lost. Now, that's a little more problematic. They've got
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: two losses. Will there be a three-loss team in this year,
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: especially from the SEC.
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Given they've gone to a ninth game?
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Or not, right? And it's going to depend what everybody
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: else does.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: These top teams aren't through losing, okay?
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: I'm looking at Tennessee's schedule, and they've surprised me.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: I've got to be honest.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Their line of scrimmage is really good, which is why
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: they're winning games and why they beat Alabama. Notice that
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: both Alabama and Georgia lost on Saturday, and neither one
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: came close.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: To playing real well.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's not a coincidence. They beat the hell
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: out of each other the week before. So that, that
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: is not a coincidence that both those teams lost. Um,
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Tennessee has Kentucky. They come here on the 14th of November.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: They host LSU, so they get Kentucky and LSU at home.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: They're at A & M and at Vanderbilt. And they're
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: this week at South Carolina, where, by the way, if
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: I saw this correctly, they're only a one-and-a-half point favorite.
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: Did I get that right, Stan? Or has it changed?
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: It's changed to Tennessee's favored by two and a half.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it went up one point. Two and a half.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: And that's, you know, I don't doubt that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Because they're coming off an emotional game, and now they're
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: going on the road.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: And was it Florida that South Carolina lit up a
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago?
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: So it's, hey, guys, we're only about halfway. You get that, right?
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of football left to play, a
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: lot of football. Speaking of Tennessee, we're going to hear
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: from Josh Heupel coming up here in just a minute.

  Speaker 3: We'll also have a high school report tomorrow. We'll hear
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: a little bit more from Coach Elko. I talked about Tennessee, Alabama.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: It was a beatdown.
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: 347 yards of offense to 201 total yards.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: They held.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Alabama to 54 net yards rushing.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: Some of that was sacks. Okay.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: But Oh, my gosh. And Bishop was a man. He
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: carried the ball 32 times for Tennessee. Tennessee beat up
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: Alabama in the trenches on both sides of the football.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: Here's Josh Heupel afterward.
• 34:50
  Speaker 20: Just want to start by saying thanks to our fans.
• 34:53
  Speaker 20: Knew it would be, but elite atmosphere. Part of the
• 34:57
  Speaker 20: game for four quarters. Phenomenal atmosphere. Great win. There's defense
• 35:11
  Speaker 20: suffocating elite performance. Really proud of those guys. They handled adversity,
• 35:16
  Speaker 20: sudden change extremely well. Great performance by them. And as
• 35:22
  Speaker 20: a team, found a way to win against a good
• 35:25
  Speaker 20: football team and really proud of our guys. So enjoy
• 35:31
  Speaker 20: this one tonight and then start getting better tomorrow.
• 35:35
  Speaker 13: So it was Austin and then.
• 35:38
  Speaker 5: Josh, Jim is such a stoic guy for.
• 35:40
  Speaker 13: The people that.
• 35:41
  Speaker 20: You picked up on that? Yeah.
• 35:43
  Speaker 16: No, but there after the game, he's dancing and cutting
• 35:47
  Speaker 16: the jig or whatever you want to call it. I mean, like,
• 35:49
  Speaker 16: what's he like for players to play for? Because it
• 35:51
  Speaker 16: seems like they play so hard for that guy.
• 35:52
  Speaker 15: They love him.
• 35:53
  Speaker 20: You know, he's a Philly guy. Tough, demanding, but they
• 36:02
  Speaker 20: love him and they believe in him and.
• 36:07
  Speaker 20: He cuts up and has some fun with them too, man.
• 36:09
  Speaker 20: He's got a great way of connecting with people. I
• 36:12
  Speaker 20: have seen that really from the very beginning in his
• 36:16
  Speaker 20: own way of doing it. Elite job by him tonight.
• 36:23
  Speaker 11: Coach, last year your team didn't win the time possession
• 36:27
  Speaker 11: battle against a single SC opponent.
• 36:28
  Speaker 16: Tonight you beat the number two scoring offense in the
• 36:30
  Speaker 16: country on the.
• 36:31
  Speaker 13: Time possession battle.
• 36:32
  Speaker 16: Can you talk a little bit about what that run
• 36:33
  Speaker 16: game has done for your offense, how it's kind of.
• 36:35
  Speaker 20: Made it easier for your quarterbacks as well? Uh, run game, um, situationally, uh,
• 36:40
  Speaker 20: us playing smart, um, and, uh, finding a way, the
• 36:45
  Speaker 20: right way to, to try to go win a football game, uh,
• 36:48
  Speaker 20: operating out of the huddle offensively. Um, there's a lot
• 36:51
  Speaker 20: of pieces of it. Uh, the run game, certainly, um,
• 36:55
  Speaker 20: you know, you look at the, the way we were
• 36:57
  Speaker 20: able to finish, um, the football game, um, I don't
• 37:01
  Speaker 20: know how many plays it was, but a lot of
• 37:05
  Speaker 20: big plays. In the run game, a couple of key conversions,
• 37:11
  Speaker 20: throwing the football too, but really proud of the effort
• 37:16
  Speaker 20: of we're talking about offense right now, so offense finishing
• 37:21
  Speaker 20: that way, but we talked about this being a line
• 37:25
  Speaker 20: of scrimmage game, boxing match mentality, and I have to
• 37:30
  Speaker 20: win him with physicality for four quarters, and I thought
• 37:32
  Speaker 20: we did that. I'm proud of our football team.
• 37:34
  Speaker 22: Mike and David.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: Josh, 15 plays, nine-and-a-half-minute drive.
• 37:38
  Speaker 20: For a coach who's kind of earned a reputation for
• 37:41
  Speaker 20: playing offense a certain type of way, how much pride
• 37:43
  Speaker 20: do you take in that being a game-searing drive? I
• 37:47
  Speaker 20: take a ton of pride in playing winning football at
• 37:50
  Speaker 20: that point in the game and being able to function
• 37:52
  Speaker 20: and operate. George did a really good job being able
• 37:57
  Speaker 20: to drain the clock when we were asking him to
• 37:58
  Speaker 20: do that, you know, and then run the football the
• 38:01
  Speaker 20: way that you needed to sustain a drive and then
• 38:04
  Speaker 20: go finish that drive. And Bishop was elite. You know,
• 38:08
  Speaker 20: at halftime just said it's going to be a big
• 38:10
  Speaker 20: second half to him, and he had a big smile
• 38:13
  Speaker 20: on his face gleaming in his eye, and he certainly
• 38:15
  Speaker 20: did that tonight.
• 38:17
  Speaker 21: A slight identity shift i know running the ball has
• 38:19
  Speaker 21: always been a staple.
• 38:20
  Speaker 20: Running the football has always been uh the foundation of
• 38:23
  Speaker 20: who we are um year to year identity of your
• 38:27
  Speaker 20: football team um how do you play smart football and
• 38:30
  Speaker 20: try to put your team uh in the situation to
• 38:32
  Speaker 20: win and uh that can be a little bit different
• 38:35
  Speaker 20: week to week um and uh but uh find a
• 38:38
  Speaker 20: way to do that tonight.
• 38:41
  Speaker 16: Josh, Kalen moments ago kept coming back to your defensive front,
• 38:44
  Speaker 16: saying you got to Kalen early, and when you have
• 38:47
  Speaker 16: a dominant front, you need explosives to counter it, and
• 38:50
  Speaker 16: they didn't have any. Did you know this defensive front
• 38:53
  Speaker 16: could have these type of games.
• 38:55
  Speaker 20: Against these types of games? I felt like they were
• 38:59
  Speaker 20: better up front than they were a year ago, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 20: through the course of this season, our defensive line has
• 39:08
  Speaker 20: continued to get better every week. You know, and Xavier's
• 39:16
  Speaker 20: been elite, right? But there's a lot of them that
• 39:19
  Speaker 20: have been playing at a really high level. And our
• 39:22
  Speaker 20: edges were able to get to the quarterback tonight to
• 39:24
  Speaker 20: affect them. He escaped on a couple of plays. But
• 39:27
  Speaker 20: I think the key is, you know, our front is
• 39:31
  Speaker 20: playing well off of each other. That's in our twist game,
• 39:35
  Speaker 20: our run stunts. They're executing and performing together and it
• 39:39
  Speaker 20: takes a level of unselfishness to do that too. That's
• 39:44
  Speaker 20: a big part of that group right now.
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: Ben and Jimmy?
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: Josh, what are you most proud of George with his
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: performance tonight?
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: What did he do really well?
• 39:54
  Speaker 20: Played winning football. The ups and downs in a game
• 39:58
  Speaker 20: like this, I thought he was decisive, going to the
• 40:01
  Speaker 20: right spots on the football field, has some adversity, tip, pick,
• 40:08
  Speaker 20: and just super consistent, same demeanor, goes out the following play,
• 40:12
  Speaker 20: following drive, and cuts it, trusts his eyes. He extended
• 40:16
  Speaker 20: and made some plays, early scramble, check down. There was
• 40:20
  Speaker 20: a conversion and a big-time play in the fourth quarter
• 40:25
  Speaker 20: on a boot play. I thought he saw it extremely
• 40:30
  Speaker 20: well and was composed and went and played the next play.
• 40:34
  Speaker 16: What do you think makes Deshaun Bishop such a special back?
• 40:37
  Speaker 16: Do you think maybe he still doesn't get the credit
• 40:39
  Speaker 16: he should?
• 40:43
  Speaker 20: I don't pay attention to a lot of things that
• 40:45
  Speaker 20: like nationally and that type of thing. Uh, he's a
• 40:48
  Speaker 20: special back, um, smart, tough, physical finishes, runs, runs through trash,
• 40:56
  Speaker 20: you know, a dirty, you know, two, three yard game.
• 41:00
  Speaker 20: He's pushing for five. It changes the game, uh, situational football. Um,
• 41:05
  Speaker 20: he's got great vision when he bounces it. It's typically
• 41:09
  Speaker 20: the right time to, to bounce it. Uh, he has
• 41:12
  Speaker 20: an understanding of, uh, run schemes and structurally what he's
• 41:16
  Speaker 20: seeing and really good vision. He's special.
• 41:20
  Speaker 19: Back with John and Vince.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Josh, you've always been very open about your appreciation for
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: the fans.
• 41:26
  Speaker 10: You've now been able to give them an opportunity to
• 41:29
  Speaker 10: storm the field three times.
• 41:31
  Speaker 13: What does that mean to you to be able to
• 41:33
  Speaker 13: give the fan base a moment that they'll remember with
• 41:36
  Speaker 13: their families for a long time?
• 41:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 41:39
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 41:43
  Speaker 20: Go back to the first one, all the buildup lead
• 41:46
  Speaker 20: up to it, and now there's an expectation. That's what
• 41:51
  Speaker 20: you do when you're playing these guys. It's been fun
• 41:56
  Speaker 20: building this. There's been days where we want different outcomes,
• 42:00
  Speaker 20: but this is, without a doubt, the best fan base
• 42:03
  Speaker 20: in America. They show up in an elite way every Saturday.
• 42:09
  Speaker 20: Recruits come here. You drive by Vol Navy and see
• 42:12
  Speaker 20: all those boats. You go to Vol Walk and you
• 42:16
  Speaker 20: see 35,000 people. 60 minutes before kickoff, it's 65%, 70% full.
• 42:21
  Speaker 20: It's college sports. College football is as good as it
• 42:26
  Speaker 20: gets and special to be here. Walking off that field
• 42:33
  Speaker 20: in a situation like tonight where you win, those are
• 42:35
  Speaker 20: things that I'll remember forever too.
• 42:38
  Speaker 21: Josh, I know you didn't get in the end zone
• 42:40
  Speaker 21: like you wanted in the first half with those drives
• 42:42
  Speaker 21: and set up for those field goals, but did you
• 42:44
  Speaker 21: kind of have to.
• 42:44
  Speaker 20: Thanks for stating the obvious.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: Just setting up the question.
• 42:48
  Speaker 22: So did you feel like it was going to be
• 42:51
  Speaker 22: this kind of game where, hey, I'm taking the points
• 42:53
  Speaker 22: and we're not going to try to chase points?
• 42:57
  Speaker 10: Every game.
• 43:01
  Speaker 20: You, you watch the film, right. And you, you try
• 43:04
  Speaker 20: to understand what you're getting into, right. And style of
• 43:07
  Speaker 20: play and matchups. And there's 11 different matchups on the field,
• 43:11
  Speaker 20: every play. And, um, you're, you're trying to predict how
• 43:15
  Speaker 20: it's going to play out. Um, ultimately early in the
• 43:18
  Speaker 20: football game, just not as efficient, effective as we needed
• 43:22
  Speaker 20: to be. Um, you know, and that's, you know, not
• 43:25
  Speaker 20: converting on some of the passes, you know, third downs,
• 43:28
  Speaker 20: not being able to convert, um, And you just couldn't
• 43:33
  Speaker 20: come up empty-handed in those situations. And I haven't mentioned
• 43:38
  Speaker 20: it yet, but Coop did an unbelievable job. And probably
• 43:43
  Speaker 20: as windy of a day as we've had inside of
• 43:45
  Speaker 20: that stadium since I've been here. Put everything right through
• 43:48
  Speaker 20: the uprights. And that was a huge part of the
• 43:51
  Speaker 20: game early. You kick field goals like that, typically it
• 43:55
  Speaker 20: comes back to bite you in the butt, though, too.
• 43:58
  Speaker 13: And.
• 44:00
  Speaker 20: We were able to, in some ways, get away with
• 44:03
  Speaker 20: that because of an elite defensive performance.
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: That's Josh Heupel. They just dominated Alabama. 26-10 final. Second half,
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: especially at the line of scrimmage, just wore them out.
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: And four turnovers killed the Tide. So if A &
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: M can get four turnovers in Tuscaloosa on Saturday, they
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: will have a shot.
• 44:39
  Speaker 20: All right.

  Speaker 3: It's Tech Sags Live, brought to you by David Gardner's Jewelers.
• 47:17
  Speaker 21: We're such a quarterback-reliant world now, high school, college, and pro.
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: But you know who the teams that are finding a way? Like,
• 47:24
  Speaker 21: look at Oregon. Dante Moore hurt and was kind of
• 47:26
  Speaker 21: having an up-and-down, and Dylan Raiola. They're so quarterback-centric, and
• 47:31
  Speaker 21: my Trojans are too, that if you lose one or
• 47:33
  Speaker 21: they don't play well, you're in a world of hurt.
• 47:36
  Speaker 21: There are some teams, though, that are playing well enough
• 47:39
  Speaker 21: that if their quarterback doesn't have a lights-out performance, they're
• 47:42
  Speaker 21: still physical enough and smart enough, they're making enough plays
• 47:46
  Speaker 21: to keep them in games. A & M hasn't done
• 47:50
  Speaker 21: that enough. You saw that they made too many mistakes
• 47:52
  Speaker 21: at quarterback in their game Alabama-Tennessee. So there's so much
• 47:57
  Speaker 21: to do with you know, how you handle the pressure.
• 47:59
  Speaker 21: So I'm anxious to see if A & M has
• 48:02
  Speaker 21: to have perfect quarterback play, which is not going to
• 48:04
  Speaker 21: happen against A & M.
• 48:05
  Speaker 18: It's just not.
• 48:06
  Speaker 21: How they overcome if somebody throws a pick, because we've
• 48:09
  Speaker 21: seen already they haven't done a good job of it
• 48:10
  Speaker 21: this year.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Lord, it's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar.
• 48:26
  Speaker 25: Where do we take it from here?
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: I think that's one of my absolute favorite Wayland songs
• 48:34
  Speaker 3: right there.
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think Hank done it this way. Welcome back.
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Glad to have you with us on a Monday. Writers'
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Roundtable coming your way in less than 15 minutes. On Saturday,
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: freshman Aaron Gregory out of Georgia had six catches, 94 yards,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: two TDs, and talked about it afterward.
• 48:54
  Speaker 11: Aaron, when did you find out you were going to
• 48:56
  Speaker 11: be starting and just how are you kind of approaching
• 48:58
  Speaker 11: this game knowing that you might have an increased role?
• 49:01
  Speaker 15: This whole week I've kind of been rotating in and
• 49:03
  Speaker 15: then by like Wednesday they kind of selected it up. So,
• 49:07
  Speaker 15: Coming out Wednesday and practicing into Thursday and Friday, I knew.
• 49:10
  Speaker 11: What were some of the things y'all maybe talked about
• 49:12
  Speaker 11: just on the field, maybe right post-game about what y'all
• 49:15
  Speaker 11: liked about how the offense operated maybe throughout practice this
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: week and the game today that maybe y'all can carry forward?
• 49:20
  Speaker 15: Everybody was on one unit, so we was all moving
• 49:22
  Speaker 15: at one and then just executing. That's been the biggest thing.
• 49:25
  Speaker 15: We got to execute, so that's what it made.
• 49:28
  Speaker 20: Right side with Travis.
• 49:31
  Speaker 13: Aaron, how do you feel like you're a different receiver
• 49:34
  Speaker 13: now after this game than maybe you were when the
• 49:36
  Speaker 13: season started?
• 49:38
  Speaker 7: I don't feel really different.
• 49:39
  Speaker 15: I'm not going to lie to you. I think since
• 49:41
  Speaker 15: the beginning it's kind of just been just working and
• 49:43
  Speaker 15: working and working. And then this game came out and
• 49:46
  Speaker 15: worked some more. And then after we're going to continue
• 49:48
  Speaker 15: to work. So I don't really feel different in a way,
• 49:50
  Speaker 15: you know.
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 49:50
  Speaker 13: So and beyond just guys going down injured, what do
• 49:53
  Speaker 13: you feel like has made you emerge as maybe one
• 49:57
  Speaker 13: of the prime targets for Marcel?
• 50:00
  Speaker 15: I think my teammates has actually made that a great
• 50:03
  Speaker 15: experience because them going down, it actually is like, okay, A.G.,
• 50:06
  Speaker 15: like let's step up let's let's continue to work let's
• 50:08
  Speaker 15: do what you know you came here to do so
• 50:10
  Speaker 15: i think that's what it is uh left side third.
• 50:12
  Speaker 6: Row hey aaron how encouraging was it um not just
• 50:17
  Speaker 6: you but have tk have even kk getting catches like
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: just in terms of the the room as a whole
• 50:22
  Speaker 6: how encouraging was today.
• 50:24
  Speaker 15: Crazy man just seeing all the boys are going out
• 50:26
  Speaker 15: there and playing ball the sport we love just it
• 50:30
  Speaker 15: was a great experience to see it.
• 50:33
  Speaker 10: And uh right side with peter.
• 50:36
  Speaker 14: What can the team take away from this going forward
• 50:39
  Speaker 14: into the SEC onslaught that's coming?
• 50:42
  Speaker 15: Just continue to build, literally. That's just the biggest thing.
• 50:44
  Speaker 15: Continue to play hard, continue to build, continue to be
• 50:46
  Speaker 15: on one path.
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: Travis?
• 50:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah, what do you feel like was different today about
• 50:57
  Speaker 13: the passing offense and made things a little bit more successful?
• 51:02
  Speaker 15: Just we all came out there and was on one unit,
• 51:04
  Speaker 15: I think. I think that was the biggest thing, just
• 51:06
  Speaker 15: everybody being on one path, straightforward, came out there, played physical,
• 51:09
  Speaker 15: get the job done, do your part. I think we
• 51:12
  Speaker 15: did that at a high level today.
• 51:13
  Speaker 13: Which one of the touchdowns was your favorite and kind
• 51:15
  Speaker 13: of walk through that one?
• 51:16
  Speaker 15: I think the deep post was, you know, safety came down,
• 51:21
  Speaker 15: I post the ball over in the middle, and then
• 51:24
  Speaker 15: it was a deep one, so it was always an
• 51:25
  Speaker 15: exciting play, and it sailed through an amazing ball. So
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: I think that was the best one.
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: Left side with Alex.
• 51:33
  Speaker 11: You talked about how you guys want to execute better.
• 51:36
  Speaker 11: When you break that down, what have been some of
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: the conversations y'all have had maybe throughout the week with
• 51:40
  Speaker 11: Coach Perry, Coach Wiggins, of what exactly that looks like
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: you need to execute better?
• 51:45
  Speaker 15: I feel like from a receiver room for us, of
• 51:47
  Speaker 15: course we're still playing at a high level, but one
• 51:50
  Speaker 15: of the takeaways from us that we've been trying to,
• 51:52
  Speaker 15: I'll say, fix is just our blocking downfield, being able
• 51:56
  Speaker 15: to be more physical and being able to go block
• 51:58
  Speaker 15: the dude that's in front of you. I think we
• 52:00
  Speaker 15: did take a step forward today in doing that.
• 52:02
  Speaker 11: And then just with you personally, what do you feel
• 52:04
  Speaker 11: like is maybe the biggest strength of your game and
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: what's maybe the biggest thing you've worked on throughout your
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: time here at A & M to lead you to
• 52:10
  Speaker 11: have the role you've had right now?
• 52:11
  Speaker 15: I think the biggest strength is I can play anywhere,
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: like in a slot and outside. I can just stretch
• 52:17
  Speaker 15: the field. It's kind of a big target. You've got
• 52:19
  Speaker 15: to see it and cover it. So I think that's
• 52:20
  Speaker 15: been the thing. And then actually the biggest thing I
• 52:23
  Speaker 15: worked on coming here was actually my breaks. Honestly, that
• 52:26
  Speaker 15: was a big thing that I had worked on with
• 52:28
  Speaker 15: Coach Wigg and Coach Perry.
• 52:31
  Speaker 10: Right side with John?
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: Aaron, you were one of the more vocal leaders of
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: your recruiting class. Coming in here, seeing guys like KK
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: make plays, Carson Baker scoring touchdowns, what does it mean
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: for you to see guys you've come in with being
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: able to contribute early on this year? And what does
• 52:48
  Speaker 5: it do for your confidence going forward?
• 52:50
  Speaker 15: It means a lot, especially seeing Carson because we're both
• 52:52
  Speaker 15: from Georgia and we played against each other. So us
• 52:54
  Speaker 15: being on the same team now and him doing his
• 52:57
  Speaker 15: thing and me doing my thing, It's been amazing. And then,
• 52:59
  Speaker 15: of course, KK. KK coming in here and making his
• 53:02
  Speaker 15: catches and doing his thing as well is incredible to see.
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: Left side with Tony.
• 53:08
  Speaker 13: You talked earlier about how, like, you don't feel different
• 53:11
  Speaker 13: from now, from the earlier season. But, you know, first-year
• 53:13
  Speaker 13: guy making plays, has there been a moment where.
• 53:15
  Speaker 10: It kind of felt like it clicked for you? Or
• 53:17
  Speaker 10: maybe you kind of had, like, a realization that, like,
• 53:19
  Speaker 10: you were made for this and this is kind of
• 53:21
  Speaker 10: what it's been like?
• 53:22
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I think after Missouri State, that's when it kind
• 53:25
  Speaker 15: of clicked. It was like, okay, you can do this
• 53:27
  Speaker 15: at the next level. So I think that's when it
• 53:28
  Speaker 15: was like, okay, now go eat.
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: All the way in the back with Tyler.
• 53:35
  Speaker 9: Aaron, just curious, kind of the reps, how familiar are
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: you with kind of both quarterbacks and then how comfortable
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: were you out there with both Brady Hart and Marcel
• 53:45
  Speaker 9: Reed today?
• 53:46
  Speaker 15: Me personally, I felt very comfortable with both. I feel
• 53:48
  Speaker 15: like in practice I get a lot of reps with both.
• 53:50
  Speaker 15: So honestly, it wasn't a huge difference of one or
• 53:53
  Speaker 15: the other.
• 53:55
  Speaker 20: On the left side, fourth row.
• 54:01
  Speaker 17: What's the mentality like for you as a team after
• 54:03
  Speaker 17: a win like today going back into a difficult on-the-road game?
• 54:07
  Speaker 15: Just putting our head down and coming back in the
• 54:09
  Speaker 15: week and working. Of course, we're happy that we got
• 54:11
  Speaker 15: the victory, but next week, next game. So just putting
• 54:15
  Speaker 15: our head down and continuing to work.
• 54:17
  Speaker 23: Right side of the car.
• 54:17
  Speaker 3: And just going back to your recruitment, what went into
• 54:21
  Speaker 3: your decision to come to.
• 54:23
  Speaker 25: A & M?
• 54:23
  Speaker 15: Man, the love from when Coach Trooper was at Duke
• 54:26
  Speaker 15: to now, and then when Coach Wigg was at Bama
• 54:29
  Speaker 15: to here. It all traveled. Nothing changed. They were all
• 54:32
  Speaker 15: continuing to love me, so continuing to love back.
• 54:35
  Speaker 20: You talked about working on your breaks this offseason.
• 54:39
  Speaker 13: What's the next level for you? What does that look like,
• 54:41
  Speaker 13: and is that kind of the thing you're continuing to
• 54:44
  Speaker 13: focus on?
• 54:45
  Speaker 15: I think the next level is a lot of the
• 54:47
  Speaker 15: SEC DBs are way more physical within routes. So I
• 54:50
  Speaker 15: think another step I could take is just creating more
• 54:55
  Speaker 15: separation and releases, of course.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Aaron Gregory had a good game on Saturday, still missing
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: a couple of guys.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: Mario Craver did not suit out.
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: Ashton Bethel-Roman did not suit out. Elko was asked about
• 55:13
  Speaker 3: Roman today. And he said, wait until the Wednesday injury
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: report comes out. Didn't sound nearly as encouraging. I would
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: expect that Mario Craver would be available on Saturday, but
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know that. As we said earlier, Alabama's top receiver,
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: I don't expect. He had knee surgery for a meniscus.
• 55:39
  Speaker 3: It would be less than two weeks. He also got
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: digged in the head against Georgia. That's Ryan Coleman-Williams. I
• 55:45
  Speaker 3: don't think we'll see him Saturday. Oliver Brothers. Oliver Brothers
• 55:50
  Speaker 3: has been around our community 50 years. Yeah, you heard me.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: 50 years.
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: Business started in 1961. And the Oliver Brothers, Gary and Lawrence,
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: were smart enough to put a store in Bryant, in
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: the heart of Bryant, at 2107 Cavett in Bryant. And
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: Larry Haygood has been running that shop ever since. They're
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: the team. You know, they're going to do free diagnostic
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: testing for you. They have rebuilt services on all automatic transmissions.
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: They do manual transmission work. You need to do a
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: little preventive effort like you do with your automotive engine
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: to extend the life of your transmission.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Make sure.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: If you need service, if you need repair, I always
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: say it's better to drive yourself in than to be
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: towed in. But either way, they're going to take care
• 56:53
  Speaker 3: of you. 2107 Cavett in Bryan. See why they say
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: no one knows transmissions like we do at Oliver Brothers.
