  Speaker 2: We'll leave that up to lasses.

  Speaker 4: They did not.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: It was the final thirteen seven. Yeah, the Broncos scored
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: first drive out.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: I think it's ten seven at half right, Yeah, feels right.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: I know the Broncos scored like they went down and drove. Yeah,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: he hit the big play drive.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: They got it.
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: They scored because both teams went out you know, maybe
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: not three now, but both teams punted first drive.
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: Broncos scored on.
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: Their second possession for like a fifty something yarder and then.
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Yeah and Bronco's case stdam gave them, gave them a
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: possession inside the twenty with a kind of a he
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: boothed it a little bit, a little lateral. Oh my god,
• 4:55
  Speaker 6: what was he doing. I don't know, he's trying to
• 4:58
  Speaker 6: trying to make a play.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess, just out that guy.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I get it, but just take the sack.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: He looked good early on, but I was did not
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: give him the opportunity to watch the second half. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: was enjoying a little father daughter dance yesterday and I
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: wasn't gonna obviously miss that for anything in the entire world,
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: and so I didn't didn't care to watch the NFL
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: game yesterday.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Didn't geared to it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: All. I was dancing. I was to the left, to
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: the left.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Oh we did the with a cupa shop.

• 5:31
  Speaker 5: wife said you did great. You know if you didn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: do good. She would put him on blasts.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: But got together.
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: They had a little get ready party all the all
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: the little girls in lower school got together, painted their faces,
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: had some drinks, had some They had drinks.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Oh it was Shirley Timples.
• 5:51
  Speaker 6: Okay, said that, Yeah I did.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: I kind of said it. I was like, obviously, what
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: not me water all days? We had a late night
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: drive last night.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah you did.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: You said somebody offered you a cold pop at two
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: thirty and you said not.
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: Today today got to get to the senior ball for
• 6:07
  Speaker 6: the first time.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: And you have to drive because you have a baby tummy.
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I do.
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: I'll suffer. I suffer from two things in life. One
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: is diagnosed squirrels here. The other is camp ride in
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: a car for five minutes without getting car sick.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: Airplanes were good though, We're good on it. Okay, Yeah, yeah,
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: fair enough, fair enough, all right. So we are going
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: to be here all week long, and sometimes players will
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: come in come out like there's no schedule time. As
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: far as I really even if it is a schedule time,
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: I've been here.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Enough times to know that that might not be how
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: it plays out.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: But obviously we're gonna get all the LSU players that
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: are here. I believe the final list has three LSU
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: players on it.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Is that correct?
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: We looked at that. That's what I was checking.
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: So the kind of the list was fluctuating the last
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks. By the like into last week, I
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: think we had five, but currently only three players are
• 7:04
  Speaker 6: set on the roster. I guess this has to be confirmed, right,
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: So Garrett Nu'smyer, Barry and Brown, Aaron Anderson are the
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: three LSU Tigers that are at least on the roster
• 7:13
  Speaker 6: as of right now, you know, late drops, late additions
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: probably happening up until today.
• 7:20
  Speaker 5: Right, I'm gonna try to see if we can ask
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: because Molly Middleton, who's in charge like of all the
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: PR media stuff, Like, I'll ask her because Jack Pibrin
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: and aj Halsey with the other names and man, and
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: it's no respect to Jack Pipern, but I will see
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: a J Hawsey like, right, that was one of the
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: players I think I was most excited about, Yeah, was
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: to have him and to see him.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, And I don't even know what kind of his
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: stock is right now, what the what the communication is
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: about him.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: He's played a lot of football, and he's played a
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: lot of really good football.
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: Doesn't really have anything to come out here and prove.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: I guess everybody really does. You got something to prove.
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: But I think he's put a lot of game tape
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: on film that is going to overshadow probably anything that
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: he could do here currently.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: So but of course I would love to see him.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: On the phone. Yeah, typically like a guy like aj Halsey,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: if you if you get some good news, like some
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: good grade back, yeah, it's like okay, well you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: maybe I don't have to go there.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: So again, we'll we'll get confirmation on how many LSU
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: players are actually going to be here, what that final
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: number is going to be. But very excited to catch
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: up with Gary ness Meyer. And you mentioned Barryon Brown
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: and Aaron Anderson. Obviously you're a big fan of his
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: and kind of what he brings to the table.
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: I found it interesting this morning just kind of got
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: the draft stuff. You know, a lot more and more
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: and more drafts that's going to come every week. I
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: saw the Nel Kuiper on his list of quarterbacks, said Gartnsmyer,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: sitting at four. So a little bit of a surprise
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: there based on the season and everything, but excited for.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: Him and the opportunity.
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: What an opportunity, golden opportunity for Garrett that's matter this
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: week here Mobile Alabama.
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I mean he might be one of the
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: players that I you know, has the biggest opportunity and
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: can kind of you know, improve his draft stock as
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: much as anybody.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And I saw just us as LSU people.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Saying that that is talking with Drew Fabiani as the
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: executive director of the Panini Senior Bowl. So look, we
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: do have a ton to get to. We're gonna break
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: early here. Luke Altmeyer, Illinois quarterback, is going to join
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: us when we come back. So like I said, we'll
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: have some guests kind of popping in and out. So

• 9:27

• 11:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I appreciate you'll having me. Man, it's cool.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you said you're training here mobile though, so I'm
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: just pretty easy commute for you, because we were wondering
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: like this. It's bad weather all over, certainly like the
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: southeast portion of the country that doesn't know how to
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: handle kind of cold, snowy weather.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: But for you, I just drove across the bay.
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: Literally, it was a fifteen minutes. I woke up in
• 11:36
  Speaker 8: my been, you know, I guess Sunday and drove over
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: fifteen minutes before telling me all their connecting flights and
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: canceled flights, and it was I was laid up, chilling
• 11:45
  Speaker 8: and it.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: Just drove over and got a valley park.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: So there you go.
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: So how was the So since the season's over, Like,
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: what's that schedule been like for you?
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: Did you go straight into training?
• 11:54
  Speaker 6: You take a couple of days, but you've been in mobile, right,
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: but it's it. You do a lot of bet agility
• 12:00
  Speaker 6: training or is it mostly man, I'm trained to be
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: the best quarterback.
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, a little bit of both.
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: I finished the bowl game, you know, kind of New
• 12:06
  Speaker 8: Year's around, then took about five days off and hopped
• 12:08
  Speaker 8: right into it. So and you kind of hit the
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: ground run and you go right right into to kind
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: of all encomassing training speed, you know, strength, obviously quarterback training.
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: So it's a mixture of everything and even kind of
• 12:20
  Speaker 8: meeting an interview you know prep too, which is probably
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: the most challenging part because you know, pretty big questions
• 12:25
  Speaker 8: that you got to answer, which is which is awesome,
• 12:27
  Speaker 8: But yeah, it's it's it's everything is really challenging and
• 12:30
  Speaker 8: uncomfortable at times, but you know.
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: Really really cool and uh so it's it's been good.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: Look. I remember when I was training for the combine.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: The most random thing we did are the guy that
• 12:39
  Speaker 6: trainers made us take an improv class, like hacked in
• 12:42
  Speaker 6: improv class. So we were like ready for any type
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: of question because because the coaches and scouts are they're
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: they're a little famous for throwing you oddball questions.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: We've been in this process.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Though, a team did get in trouble because they did
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: cross the line I don't know if you remember that
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: about questions they were asking. So they've kind of they
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: fixed it a little, but they can't ask you anything
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: too wild now, it'll try to get you uncomfortable.
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'll be ready for whatever, hopefully, probably need some
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: improv for sure.
• 13:10
  Speaker 6: That was a little weird.
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's interesting, all right.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: So you transfer from ole Miss to Illinois. You get
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: to Illinois and y'all had some of the most successful
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: seasons in really the school history. What was it like
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: for you though, I mean, being from Starville, Mississippi, you
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: go to Ole Miss and then you go about like
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: as far away it feels like as you possibly could.
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: Right, Yeah, it was the first time in my life
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: that I was getting out of my comfort zone, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 8: kind of you know, holistically, you know, kind of the
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: big picture. So it was very uncomfortable at the time,
• 13:37
  Speaker 8: but thank god it was you know, so much growth
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: and development you know, happened in that time through obstacles
• 13:42
  Speaker 8: I had to climb over and and uh, you know,
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: hard times and adversities, but it brought out a lot
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: of great moments at Illinois. You know, it was so
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: cool for the community to experience some winning seasons and
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: you know, sold out the stadium a lot, which hadn't happened,
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: you know, in a whole long time. So it was
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: just great to see the fans that were you know,
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: forty of your season ticket holders coming up to you
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: and just thanking you just for for bringing good wins
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: to to Illinois. So it was just such an awesome time.
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: You know, we're the logo of pride and love. Loved
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: where I played, loved the system that I was in,
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: loved the head coach that I've played for. But yeah, uncomfortable,
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: but man like, uh, you know, thank god that it
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: was so much character was developed and yeah, and a
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: lot of just fun football, you know, it was you know,
• 14:19
  Speaker 8: you know, I loved my teammates, loved the way you're prepared,
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: and a lot of good things happened.
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: So you talk about loving your system in college, and
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: so I'm so interested to watch the quarterbacks of course
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: this week in practice, because I think there's a there's
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: a lot of offensive styles that colleges run right now
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: don't necessarily immediately translate to what the NFL style kind
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: of is a lot of shotgun clap counts and a
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: lot if you're not taking a lot of under center snaps.
• 14:45
  Speaker 6: But we were talking before we jumped on here. You
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: kind of have the familiarity with that, you have you
• 14:51
  Speaker 6: do some stuff under center, So like if you if
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: you have that already in your in your arsenal, that's
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: a big step up for sure.
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: I think that's kind of one thing that separates me
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: going into the week. You know, a little bit I've
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: played in the Big Ten and then kind of the
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: kind of the mentality the Big Ten's kind of run
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: the football, get under center and more of an old
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: school type of football certainly has transitioned a little bit
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: to more of a modern spread in the gun and
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: with your your clap count stuff, which we experienced and
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: we played with you know a lot, but a lot
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: of times I was under center, you know, making checks,
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: making kills and kind of making you know, mic points
• 15:22
  Speaker 8: and things like that. So like I'm very comfortable with
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: it under center football. Like and uh, and I'm using
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: that to my advantage shortly this week, and and I
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: think it'll show, so I'm excited about it. But yeah, certainly,
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: you know Big Ten playing that weather more of an old.
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: School type type of football.
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: But like, uh, like we were successful with it obviously,
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: and and it'll translate and I'm very excited for that.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it's like the probably the MVP of the NFL.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: They were leading personnel this year was thirteen personnel for
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: the Rams.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: So it's a little bit.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Different game than across the country in college. So I'm
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: excited that that, you know, you have that experience under center,
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: so we that that's a like I said, that's a
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: big Like if you're taking us from under the center
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: for the first time since like eighth grade. Yeah, it's
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: a it's tough, man, I'll tell you what.
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: So last year, the group of quarterbacks that was here,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: like they had not none of those guys had done
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: it and they could barely get through practice because they
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: kept fumbling. They had to stay after every day. So like,
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: you having that experience, obviously, Luke is gonna be big
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: for you. Like what do you want though, to get
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: Like what's the main thing this week that you want
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: to make sure that you get done? And I'll give
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: you an example, Like for me when I was here,
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: i played running back at LSU. But I know it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: gonna pay full back in the NFL. So it's like, hey, Bud,
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: you got to show that you can do it this week.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: So I had like a main goal. What is it
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: for you that you want to show every scout here
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: this week?
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't know. Just man, I'm a clean football player.
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: I'm experienced.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: I've seen a lot of I've seen a lot of ball,
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: and like, uh, I seen all the looks, seen playing
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: a lot of playing a lot of different systems with
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: Kevin and you know Brett viel muntn So uh man,
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: I'm a fishing player, you know. I do the right
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: things on the field and take care of the football
• 16:49
  Speaker 8: and and certainly you want to show how strong you
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: are and and and kind of you can make those
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: those shows that they make in the NFL.
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: But like you know, I believe I can.
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: So I'm not gonna overthink it, man, I'm gonna go
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: go hack it and play play clean, and play efficient,
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: you know, and and and say the right things and
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: do the right things. That's what I've always done how
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: I've been raised, and so yeah, I'm just gonna enjoy it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: If I enjoy it, I'll be in a good spot.
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: So but yeah, I'm confident just where I came from
• 17:12
  Speaker 8: and how it prepared me and just kind of bring
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: that to it and let them kind of have their assessments.
• 17:16
  Speaker 7: And I'm gonna compete and.
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: Keep compete my tail off, and and that's what I
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: love to do. I love the game, love to prepare,
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: and so I think it'll put me in a good
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: spot overall.
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So speaking of competing, and of course there's gonna
• 17:27
  Speaker 6: be other quarterbacks here, and it's you're gonna get on
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: the field. There's gonna be one on one, there's gonna
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: be individuals, there's gonna be team driills, two minute drills,
• 17:34
  Speaker 6: they're gonna you know.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: The works.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: When it comes to practice, Was there is there something
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: in practice this week? And I'm sure you've watched Singapore
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: practices like throughout the years, like on NFL Network or
• 17:44
  Speaker 6: wherever it is. Is there something that you're looking forward
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: to the most in practice this week?
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: I think just the team settings for sure. Like that's
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: that's football, you know, like eleven and eleven. The rest
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: of it's great and all fun, but like running a
• 17:57
  Speaker 8: clean operation and communicating and making the right plays like
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: that's that's kind of like the goal of the game.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: So like if I can operate well in those settings
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: like that's that's that's a win for sure. But yeah,
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: like when kind of those individual settings, for sure, you
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: want to kind of showcase yourself.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: Now, did they did they prep? Did they send a
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: playbook or anything to you all a weekend advance or
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: a couple weeks in advance to start at least familiarizing
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: a little bit with the terminalised since you got a
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: call to call the.
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: Play Yeah, for sure a couple of days before h
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: coach Scott Tolzan, our coordinator and so he, uh yeah,
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: we hopped on his zoom Friday and he you know,
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: he sent over the playbook fairly you know, fairly simple,
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: you know, with all the rules and stuff like that,
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: and so yeah, pretty familiar with it, just kind of
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: with over running and playing under center a little bit.
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: So I'm excited, all right.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: Well, yes, God, so Scott's crazy. So I was teammates
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: with Scott and Green Bay for a little while and
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: he's been on the show multiple times, and so it's, uh, Scott's.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: A great dude. Man, You're gonna love him.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, You're gonna enjoy it.
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: Uh, Luke, you did mention Lane Kiffing there, you did play.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: Start your career at ole Miss where a Louisiana kind
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: of l s U show. So your thoughts on on
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: Lane Kiffing and maybe how you think he'll do at LSU.
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I think overall he'll tear it up. And he's
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: such a good ball coach.
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: He's taken Ole Miss to a place they've never been before. Man,
• 19:06
  Speaker 8: and that's uh, you know, that's all great to him.
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: You know, I played for him for two years and
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: just the way he h you know, thinks out of
• 19:12
  Speaker 8: the box. It's so hard to you know, kind of
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: pick up a tendency on is like he's he's a
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: he's as good as he gets from an nexus no
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: standpoint offensively, you know, the way he plays fast and
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: kind of like so explosive. So I think he'll tear
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: it up. Great recruiter obviously, and he'll get good players.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: And and thankful for my time there. He taught me
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: a lot of football, you know, certainly he's a quarterback guy,
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: and and I was grateful to be able to learn
• 19:33
  Speaker 8: kind of how to push the ball down the field
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: a little bit and kind of you know, understand that
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: side of the game, which was a great, great helpful
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: tool for me.
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: You know, it really was. I learned a lot there
• 19:43
  Speaker 7: at Old.
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: Miss So speaking of talking about Lane and we just
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: got through like this crazy like portal window, portal season. Right,
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: you seem like a pretty down deret guy, guy that
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: could have played like in our day when you got
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: a four hundred dollars like a scholarship check every mind.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: So how was the whole Niol world because it's it
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: changes so much as a player trying to navigate that
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: you had you transferred once, but you were at a
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: decent amount of time, like, so, how was that when
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: you go into that as a player trying to figure
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: out if you're going to do this, You're gonna do that?
• 20:15
  Speaker 6: Are you going to go into poort you cannihilate? What
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: was that world?
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Like?
• 20:18
  Speaker 6: How was those conversations with your family?
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Did you have an agent? Like?
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: How did you navigate those waters and just stay focused
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: on the job at hand.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: It's tricky because it's the first time you're experiencing, right,
• 20:30
  Speaker 8: making a big ad old decisions like that. You know,
• 20:32
  Speaker 8: with all the money that's being thrown around these days,
• 20:33
  Speaker 8: and certainly there is you know, there's a lot of
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: money being thrown around to these kids that are experiencing
• 20:38
  Speaker 8: that for the first time and their families experiencing that
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: for the first time, and really these coaches experience for
• 20:43
  Speaker 8: the first time. So it's all new and and we're
• 20:45
  Speaker 8: all figuring out at once, and it happens really fast.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: So you got to got to make good long term decisions.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 20:50
  Speaker 8: It's easy to make these quick materialistic decisions that you
• 20:53
  Speaker 8: can grab at, you know, these money that may not
• 20:57
  Speaker 8: set you set you up long term in the right way.
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: So I try to do that, you know, in my situation,
• 21:01
  Speaker 8: setting myself up long term doing the right thing, not
• 21:03
  Speaker 8: being selfish.
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: So it's tricky, yeah, it is.
• 21:06
  Speaker 8: It's it's a lot to be desired for out there, man,
• 21:09
  Speaker 8: and like, but it's been a blessing, I'll say that
• 21:12
  Speaker 8: for sure, you know, Like, you know, it's I've tried
• 21:14
  Speaker 8: to use it in the right way and I think
• 21:16
  Speaker 8: I have with the people helping me.
• 21:18
  Speaker 6: So yeah, there's a lot.
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Of people helped me with family and agents and help
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: me make good character decisions and like, and uh, yeah,
• 21:25
  Speaker 8: it's it's tricky out there, especially with all the tampering
• 21:27
  Speaker 8: and that's that's a real thing.
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: So it's a.
• 21:29
  Speaker 8: It's a crazy world of football and need some probably
• 21:31
  Speaker 8: some revision, you know. But it's good for US players,
• 21:37
  Speaker 8: I'll tell you that. Yeah, a lot of blessings, you know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 8: for sure using them in the right way.
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we're just a little bitter jealous guyls check. Get
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: Luke last one before we let you go. You are

  Speaker 5: is it what we saw in the AFT championship game.
• 22:00

• 25:37
  Speaker 6: Always does the fullback.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: I want a fullback on the Rosterbud.
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: There's not one here, but it's okay. We got quarterbacks here.
• 25:43
  Speaker 6: Cole.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: We appreciate your time.
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: Thanks for hopping on with us and we were talking
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: a little bit before the show. You're training in Irvine, California. Uh,
• 25:51
  Speaker 5: so you had to get here probably a little bit
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: early to beat this crazy weather, right.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: That's right.
• 25:56
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we got in Friday night, so been here a
• 25:58
  Speaker 9: while now, and it's nice to settle in.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: To ease into this week.
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you can make fun of us down south for
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: this being crazy weather if you want to.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, Yeah, you're kind of walking into this week with
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: a big advantage because this is, like you're tell us
• 26:12
  Speaker 6: before this in cold deal and this is just kind
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: of normal weather, so you got an advantage.
• 26:15
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and Fargo, there's two feet of snow on the
• 26:17
  Speaker 9: ground right now, so.
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: That's raight.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: So you're coming from North Dakota State and a lot
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: of times, like if someone was coming from the FCS,
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: like we would go through the whole small school blah
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: blah blah. Like for you in North Dakota State, Like,
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: y'all don't feel that way because I mean, y'all have
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: gone against multiple FBS schools, y'all have won those games,
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: y'all won championships, and that's kind of the standard of
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: what else football program is.
• 26:44
  Speaker 9: Yeah, there's there's nothing intimidating about you know, coming in
• 26:48
  Speaker 9: with and competing versus SEC guys, ACC guys, whatever. It
• 26:53
  Speaker 9: is like we've always had a chip on our shoulder
• 26:55
  Speaker 9: and and and we're looking to prove that we're the best.
• 26:58
  Speaker 9: So that's always kind of been the mindset it.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So how is that? So he's your season ends?
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: And then what's your schedule been like leading up to
• 27:07
  Speaker 6: this meal? And I know you're you're probably combined training,
• 27:09
  Speaker 6: speed and all that stuff from a quarterback standpoint, like,
• 27:13
  Speaker 6: how are you preparing? Uh preparing? Where are you training at?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 27:16
  Speaker 9: So down in IRV, I'm working with a guy by
• 27:19
  Speaker 9: the named Jake Keaps and so he worked with Will
• 27:23
  Speaker 9: Howard last year. He helps, you know, he's a high
• 27:26
  Speaker 9: school football coaching Denver. And so the biggest thing for
• 27:29
  Speaker 9: us is so obviously throwing a little bit, but interview prep,
• 27:36
  Speaker 9: you know, getting on the board, hammer me with the
• 27:38
  Speaker 9: tough questions when we're gonna meet with NFL teams and
• 27:42
  Speaker 9: then uh, and then and watching a bunch of films
• 27:45
  Speaker 9: and learning the game and so those are kind of
• 27:48
  Speaker 9: the biggest things.
• 27:48
  Speaker 6: Do you have like your plays like kind of prep
• 27:50
  Speaker 6: because you're gonna get asked like, hey, if you get
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: cover two, what's your what's your you gotta check, you
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: gotta cover three.
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: You have all those plays in your head. These are
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: what I'm gonna draw exactly exactly what we're doing. That's perfect. Yep,
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: all right.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: So you're a guy who obviously is a dual threat quarterback.
• 28:04
  Speaker 5: I think you had over one hundred and thirty rushes
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: on the year. So like where you're in a setting
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: like this where I guess you have to kind of
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: wait to the game maybe to kind of show exactly
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: what you can do in the run game. Like how
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: do you want to make sure teams see you as like, okay,
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: I can't maybe run practice, so let me make sure
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: that I show them the armor. Like how do you
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: go into it knowing that there's a piece of your
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: game that you can't fully show until the game.
• 28:26
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a good question. I think it the quarterback position.
• 28:30
  Speaker 9: There's there's so much to it, and so like, you know,
• 28:33
  Speaker 9: being a commanding presence in the huddle, understanding my assignment,
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: understanding everyone else's assignments, and then and then just having
• 28:40
  Speaker 9: fun and ripping it around the yard. I think this
• 28:42
  Speaker 9: week will be huge Yeah.
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: This is something that I'm really curious to talk to
• 28:47
  Speaker 6: all the quarterbacks this week about. Is there's a there's
• 28:50
  Speaker 6: a big difference between the style of football in the
• 28:54
  Speaker 6: NFL from a quarterback position. Then most are a lot
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: of colleges, there's a lot more under center. There's a
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: lot we see some of the best NFL offenses are
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: running thirteen personnel twenty one twelve p like, and most
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: colleges are, you know, eleven eleven personnel usually and it's not.
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: So I'm really curious to say, like, how was your
• 29:13
  Speaker 6: offense in college? Did you do under center? And if not,
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: if you is that something you're kind of trying to
• 29:18
  Speaker 6: train right now and doing.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So at NSU it was very much a pro style.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: That's fantastic.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I have a swear shirt that says fullbacks.
• 29:26
  Speaker 9: We say, yeah, okay, fantastic. Well, okay, we don't have
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: fullbacks here. I can call up a few fullbacks from NDSU,
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: like let's go.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: So yeah, you know, I've been fortunate enough to be
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: immersed in that kind of system and get under center
• 29:41
  Speaker 9: and run play action and you know, keeper fakes and
• 29:46
  Speaker 9: do it all, do it all, really make checks as a
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: line of scrimmage where where we're huddling, and I know
• 29:50
  Speaker 9: most teams in college don't even huddle, and so right.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: I definitely have an advantage. Was this your nap count
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: and it was not?
• 29:57
  Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, so ironically, that was
• 30:00
  Speaker 9: our silent cadence if it was super loud, but yeah, yeah,
• 30:04
  Speaker 9: right right, we used the.
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: Verbal ca that's I mean, it's gonna be a big
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: advantage for you. We're not We're not joking. We joke
• 30:09
  Speaker 5: about it a little bit, but it's like form, it
• 30:12
  Speaker 5: should be commanding to be able to point out the mic,
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: to be able to, you know, get to the second
• 30:16
  Speaker 5: play if you've got to kill a play, and to
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: actually feel confident under the center. I mean, we just
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: had Luke altmeirown and I was telling him the story
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: last year the quarterbacks that were here, and some of
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: those were first rounders, they couldn't practice because they kept
• 30:28
  Speaker 5: fumbling under the under the center and they had to
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: stay after every single day of practice and try to
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: get it. So like you coming in with that being
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: a part of your offense is a big advantage.
• 30:37
  Speaker 9: No doubt, no doubt. Yeah, I mean it's a big
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: reason why. You know, I stayed at NBCU for five
• 30:44
  Speaker 9: years and and uh and wanted to go there in
• 30:47
  Speaker 9: the first place because of the not only the success,
• 30:49
  Speaker 9: but yeah, that pro style effect.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:54
  Speaker 6: Did you grow up a fan of anybody any NFL team?
• 30:57
  Speaker 9: So, being from Omaha, Nebraska, I grew up on scar
• 31:00
  Speaker 9: fan okay for for college and there, and then when
• 31:04
  Speaker 9: it comes to the NFL, I'm embarrassed, man, all right,
• 31:08
  Speaker 9: Just my dad was.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: Going up in the eighties.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah there, yeah, so there you go.
• 31:11
  Speaker 9: You know, big Walter Payton fans and and uh uh
• 31:15
  Speaker 9: so yeah, there you go.
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: You you lose that fandom real quick though. Whenever you
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: get selected, you hear your name all by somebody else.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: I grew up a cow I grew up and tell
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: you group of cowboys. Cowboys.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: After I got was with the Green Bed and I
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: was like, no, it's not a yeah cowboys, aren't it anymore?
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: But what what are you looking forward to? Most? So
• 31:32
  Speaker 6: you're doing all this training, you're at the end of
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: the day, you're competing against these other quarterbacks. Of course
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: you're gonna be friends on they're great dudes and everything,
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: but it's it's called everything you do from here on
• 31:41
  Speaker 6: outs of competition, right, what are you looking forward to
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: the most. I'm sure you've watched combine practices before, like
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: on NFL Network or whatever it is. What are you
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: looking forward to most in these practices that really show
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: your skill set?
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: I think exactly what you said. It's just compete and
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: eat and show them the best at the end of
• 31:58
  Speaker 9: the day. Obviously you know, connect with some guys, learn,
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: learn and grow and improve.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: But but compete for sure. Yeah.
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Did you have any conversations with any of your
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: former North Dakota State teammates, because there's been a ton
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: here every year, there's at least one or two that
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: have come to the game and actually you know, been drafted.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Did you have any conversation with them? Maybe what to
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: expect this week.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: A little bit?
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: Yeah, So, uh, working or being a teammate of Gray's abels.
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: You know, Gray was here last year. He's only a
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: year older than me, and.
• 32:32
  Speaker 9: So got pretty close with him and the s U
• 32:34
  Speaker 9: and then so we actually are each also trained in
• 32:37
  Speaker 9: Irvine at the same with the same agency, and so
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: we've got a connection there. And so I've been in
• 32:42
  Speaker 9: contact with Gray about a lot of different things. Yeah,
• 32:45
  Speaker 9: and so he's been a great help and and been
• 32:47
  Speaker 9: rooting for him this season.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: They've been doing well. Yeah, the Seahawks.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: He had a really nice individual seasons.
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Gray has been a great resource. So the.
• 33:03
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I got distracted by some almost saying coffee
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: over there.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: We had coffee aet this morning.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: So you mentioned you grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. We
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: were talking a little bit beforehand. You've gone to the
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: College World Series a time or two. Do you have
• 33:17
  Speaker 5: like maybe like a favorite memory, because I was telling you,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: like obviously being LSU related here Omaha is something our
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: fan base certainly appreciates. Ls She was able to win
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: it last year in Omahall you got any memories that
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: stick out of your time growing up going to the
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: College World Series?
• 33:31
  Speaker 9: I do, yeah, And this is this is going to
• 33:34
  Speaker 9: throw it back a little bit. I remember going to
• 33:36
  Speaker 9: the College World Series before it was at you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwad Rosenblatz right by the zoo, and
• 33:46
  Speaker 9: I remember we were sitting in the outfield I think
• 33:48
  Speaker 9: South Carolina was playing somebody, and we were sitting in
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: right field and on the first row, and I was
• 33:55
  Speaker 9: probably ten years old, yeah, and my buddy and I
• 33:58
  Speaker 9: were messing around. I had a baseball cap on and
• 34:01
  Speaker 9: it fell onto the field and I remember the right fielder,
• 34:04
  Speaker 9: I can't remember who it was, came over and like
• 34:07
  Speaker 9: grabbed my hat and like gave it back to me.
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: That was the coolest thing ever because I went from
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: this moment of like total embarrassing. Yeah right, and then
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: this star right fielder, yeah, you know, grabbing my hat
• 34:18
  Speaker 9: and so I'll never forget that.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: And that was that Rosenblat.
• 34:20
  Speaker 6: Yeah, it was, you're kind of a big deal.
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: I wonder if that was when South Carolina won back
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: to back. I bet it was.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: I bet it was doing that run they made, and
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: I bet it was Jackie Bradley it was.
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: Is that who?
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: I think it was Jackie Bradley?
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yep.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: So yeah, it turned out South Carolina big league for
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: a long time.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: So that's cool. That's cool out.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I feel like I know. I'm
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: hoping there's an answer. You're gonna give me this. This
• 34:43

• 38:34
  Speaker 4: I ain't got nothing for you, kid.

  Speaker 6: I got written down here, so I didn't want to
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: like reask like, hey, you know, what are you looking
• 38:46
  Speaker 6: forward to the most? So I had nothing. We saved
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: it though. He seen varsity blues. That's true. That's true.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: So and then let's see kind of a big did
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: the research and he.
• 38:58
  Speaker 5: Said that they be South Dakota fifty one to thirteen
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: that day.
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: So they beat him.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, North Dakota State beat him fifty one thirteen.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: We played it a well, South Dakota State, sorry about it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: I love that dude, the coach putting it on. Do
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: you think he put like the team made for TV version? No,
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: so they looked they on those like little tiny yeah,
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: bus on a bus, greyhound TVs. Hey, it's not the
• 39:25
  Speaker 6: most ideal way to watch varsity blues, but better than nothing.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's seen it, so good for them.
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: He got excited too, he smiled when I asked that question.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: He did, he did.
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: So We've asked a lot of quarterbacks through media days.
• 39:40
  Speaker 5: I bet Luke Altmyer's seen it, though he had a
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: very I've seen varsity blues filter.
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Well we'll try to catch him. Yeah, when he's walking.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Back through here, have you seen varsity blues?
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Yep?
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, we're good.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Next we'll report though when we see him, we'll see
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: him probably running the halls again. We'll get that question answered,
• 40:00
  Speaker 6: and so I promise you I will not make that
• 40:02
  Speaker 6: mistake again and forget to ask.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: So we are going to sow our plan here this
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: week is too obviously, as we mentioned in the first segment,
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: catch up with every LSU player, but also we wanted
• 40:14
  Speaker 5: to catch up with every quarterback as well. So we've
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: got two of those guys that we had a conversation with,
• 40:20
  Speaker 5: Luke Altmeyer from Illinois and Cole Payton there from NDSU.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: But if we go back to Luke Altmeyer, he did
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: mention Lane Kiffin and gave a pretty good endorsement there
• 40:32
  Speaker 5: of his time with Lane Kiffin. And just so you're wondering,
• 40:35
  Speaker 5: we also talked you know, off air, and it was
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: the same thing.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: So that was a genuine.
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: You know, quick did not give him a script, We did.
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: Not, but yeah, he said like off airs, like, yeah,
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: he's going to crush it there. Yeah, it's like that
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: guy with quarterbacks in his offense. And how he teaches quarterbacks.
• 40:52
  Speaker 5: And so you know, I don't know that every old
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: miss player here that we interview, if we end up
• 40:58
  Speaker 5: talking with him, will you know, just because they probably
• 41:00
  Speaker 5: you're still heard whatever feel to.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Burn, that's somebody that's been removed from it.
• 41:03
  Speaker 5: And talked about his appreciation for what Lane Kip has
• 41:06
  Speaker 5: done in his career.
• 41:08
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think it's pretty common. Like the what
• 41:12
  Speaker 6: he thought he talked about Lane was pretty common. It's
• 41:14
  Speaker 6: like when I asked, anybody we talked to says the
• 41:17
  Speaker 6: same thing. He's a really great coach. He's a really
• 41:19
  Speaker 6: great coach. He's you know, you know, off the field,
• 41:23
  Speaker 6: not like your normal person coach whatever it is, but
• 41:27
  Speaker 6: like a great coach. And we've seen it everywhere he's been,
• 41:31
  Speaker 6: the development of quarterbacks that he's seen.
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: And you know, we were.
• 41:35
  Speaker 6: Talking to a former quarterback of his who obviously went
• 41:37
  Speaker 6: on to another school and had a lot of success.
• 41:39
  Speaker 6: And Luc Almer is here at the Senior Bowl. And
• 41:43
  Speaker 6: I like Luke a lot. I like Cole lot too.
• 41:45
  Speaker 6: These two guys just from a personality standpoint, different certainly
• 41:49
  Speaker 6: different personalities. I felt like me and Luc a little
• 41:51
  Speaker 6: kindred spirits a little bit. Yeah, Cole seemed like a tough,
• 41:54
  Speaker 6: nasty like he looked like, I'm not here to make friends,
• 41:58
  Speaker 6: I'm here to.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Whip your ass. Yeah that's what that's what he looked.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: That's how. That's the ore that I got from.
• 42:02
  Speaker 6: So excited to see both those guys. And you know,
• 42:06
  Speaker 6: I've heard the name Luke Altmeyer a little bit more
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: than Cole Payton like, but I'm excited to see both
• 42:11
  Speaker 6: of these guys compete.
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: I like it.
• 42:13
  Speaker 6: And shockingly, the first two quarterbacks that we've talked to
• 42:17
  Speaker 6: said they have a lot of experience under center. Yeah
• 42:19
  Speaker 6: that is that's that's not normal for college football this day.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: It is no Cole Payton being from nd s U.
• 42:27
  Speaker 6: Yep, I wish I.
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: Would have done that a little bit more. Oh dude,
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: they will run multiple fullbacks. In last year or two
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: years ago, they had to play where they had four
• 42:35
  Speaker 5: fullbacks in on the goal line.
• 42:37
  Speaker 6: Was that person?
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: So they're not afraid to run a full back.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean, honestly, he's going to have an
• 42:46
  Speaker 5: advantage Like guys that you really think about, like you
• 42:49
  Speaker 5: master your craft, you know, you think so being a
• 42:52
  Speaker 5: college football player, even though you have no idea what's
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: to come, but you think you're a master of it,
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: and all of a suddenly like, oh no, see, we don't.
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: We don't do that here, right, We'll do some of
• 43:00
  Speaker 5: it a little bit like on you know, sub downs.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: We'll do some of that, but for the most part,
• 43:05
  Speaker 5: you're actually going to completely change.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: Like that draft that you used to take. No, that's out.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: That's a little clap that.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you that. He so when I asked
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: Cole just now.
• 43:18
  Speaker 6: If this was clap if this was a snapcount, and
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: I clapped, and he laughed and like a negative, like
• 43:23
  Speaker 6: disparaging way towards the clap count. I hope, I hope
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: he has a fifty year NFL career because of that.
• 43:30
  Speaker 6: Like I became a fan of his because he laughed
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: at the clap count. Because Elis, he's gonna do it
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: next year. I got it. But and this saiden just
• 43:39
  Speaker 6: about Elis. It's about everybody. The clap count is dumb,
• 43:42
  Speaker 6: and it's the worst. Then I don't understand the point
• 43:45
  Speaker 6: of it. Anyway, That's okay. We are on a mission
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: to make sure everybody knows it.
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: We're gonna tell him. Let the people know and.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: Got like Colpayton's gonna do well, I think this week
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: because of it. While we have some time, want to.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: Remind you that it's gonna be three LSU players here.
• 44:03
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to look for anybody, see if we can
• 44:06
  Speaker 5: get any third well that too, aj Halsey and Jack
• 44:10
  Speaker 5: Pyburn and why they're not here. But we are gonna
• 44:12
  Speaker 5: catch up with all three LSU players during this week.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: And again it's gonna be kind of interview here, interview there,
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: and you don't really know when you're gonna have one, so.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: From segment to segment, Flynn, Yeah.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: We're just gonna be bouncing around. Ready, dude.
• 44:28
  Speaker 6: It's kind of weird when you're when they come up
• 44:31
  Speaker 6: to the table and clearly they don't know us, we
• 44:35
  Speaker 6: don't know them, and I'm sitting here googling them right there.
• 44:37
  Speaker 6: I got like their Wikipedia page up and they're just
• 44:40
  Speaker 6: staring at it, and I'm like, yeah, that's me trying
• 44:43
  Speaker 6: to learn who you.
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: Are real quick.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: In the next thirty you just pull up.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: Well I started doing it that, I just put it down.
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: I just did it on my phone, but then it
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: looked like I was texting in front of him.
• 44:52
  Speaker 4: I didn't want to be rude.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Uh, it's okay.
• 44:56
  Speaker 5: I'd looked, if you're doing a deep dive in the
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: NDSU football, you're Sico like me.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know.
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: So for forty one personnel, So what you said running backs.
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: Well yeah, because it was no running backs. It was
• 45:10
  Speaker 5: all fullbacks on one tight end. So yeah, forty one
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: the way the Good Lord intended. H Cole Payton last
• 45:16
  Speaker 5: year did throw for twenty seven hundred yards, completed seventy
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: two percent of his passes. Now, he only had sixteen
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: touchdowns four interceptions, but he also ran for seven hundred
• 45:24
  Speaker 5: and seventy seven yards thirteen touchdowns on.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: The ground seven hundred yards.
• 45:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's taken sackyard age away as well in college football.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: So he took twenty two sacks minus one hundred and
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: twenty four yards.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: So we're talking.
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: About basically a nine hundred yard rusher in college. So
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: I did like his answer for you know, cause you
• 45:45
  Speaker 5: can't show the entire skill set here when you're a
• 45:47
  Speaker 5: dual threat quarterback, Like you're not gonna go out there
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: and run Q power practice and if you do, it's
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: tag off and you're not gonna be able to So
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: he like you realized that, and he's like, hey, I
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: want to go spin it around. I want to go
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: show like I think they know I can run the football.
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: I need to go show that I can do it
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: with my RM.
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: So, yeah, there's always something that these these quarterbacks. That's
• 46:06
  Speaker 6: why I'm asking, I'm like, what are you looking forward
• 46:08
  Speaker 6: to most? Because there's if you if you want to
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: show that you can spend it, then there's times to
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: do that. There's one on one, there's individual drills, seven
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: on seven, so there's always different drills that As a quarterback,
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: I always used to love seven on sevens. All quarterbacks
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: do one on one. It's fantastic. It's awesome to watch
• 46:26
  Speaker 6: from a quarterback and corner standpoint. Uh, corner and receiver standpoint.
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: But it's a huge deal for the quarterback as well.
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: Throwing guys open, it's a great time to show that
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: you got like the back shoulder throw in your repertoire,
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: the low and a way shoulder, the high ball, the throat.
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: It's only where your guy can get it type guy
